Chapter 10.) A Flower in a Web
Pluto and I digged a hole inside a tree, it was big and warm for both of us, and since he was in his human form, he wrapped on arm around me and kept me protected, thank god I packed a uniform for him to wear instead of him being naked. I felt better, but I felt sad, the place I once called home was miles, and miles away, my heart ached, the tears kept falling, and pluto licked them away "don't cry cerina once we head to the gate of time I'll be helping you and staying by your side, your not alone ok, we'll find a new home." I snuggled up to him and soon I was asleep. I woke up by a hand, a gentle hand that stroked my face, I opened one eye and saw the golden haired boy who I danced at the ball "cerina? don't get up you and pluto go sick two nights ago, it's better that you should rest" he smiled sadly, I smiled at him "thank you" I whispered and touched his left cheek, he smiled brightly and held my hand. I felt my eyes go heavy and soon I fell asleep, I dreamt that I was in my home with pluto and finni at the same place, such a happy dream, I really do miss finni.
It's been two weeks here and it's been a joy every day, Mr. Trancy was kind enough to live with him until we could fine the gate of time, he was so sweet, it seemed that he was so lonely and had no friends only his maid and servants. "Cerina, I'm going to a ball and I wish to bring you, but I know you left the Phantomhive Manor so I made this elegant outfit that hides half of your face and it's a black and a light blue dress." He smiled as he showed me what it was, it was beautiful "I'm so grateful my lord" I smiled, he smiled too, "My lord, there's a meeting with your Unlce Arnold today at five o'clock" said claude, Alois sighed, but smiled "enjoy your evening without me, my dear sorry, but I'll be looking forward seeing you in the dress" and then left. I must admit he was a gentle boy dispite him treating Hannah Annafellows like shit, but by the looks of it she seems to love Alois, and that's what a real reason why maids like us, do things even if our masters dislikes us. I was in the garden with the Thomson's brothers when Hannah came, I smiled at her "hannah did you plant the roses?" she was scared to answer me, but she just nodded "you do it lovely" I smiled, she smiled back, I walked over towards her and held her hands "I understand that you love lord Alois, and I won't tell anyone, I promise" she smiled sadly at me. I enjoy making people happy, hannah was a sweet woman and if she loves Lord Alois then she shall; "Pluto! where are you?" I called as I walked through the nearby woods, I been walking for a while having no clue where he might be. "PLUTO-SAN! where are you?" I called out, I jumped over a root, then I felt a web on me, "spider silk, how lovely, it shines like diamonds and softier than any material that ever existed" I whispered as I toyed witht the remaining fragments of the web. I looked up and saw a lot more, the sunshine made it look like a place for a ball. "It's beautiful no?" asked claude who apparently came from no where, I was scared a bit, but I smiled "yes, it is a beautiful place especially with the spider webs" I twirled around, the air was clear and fresh, I'm really do feel free for the first time in a while. Claude told me that I should go get ready for the ball tomorrow and I should rest for it, I just smiled at the demon butler, (yes, he's a demon too!) and ran towards the manor, I finally found pluto he was in the dining room use as a taste monkey, and he was happy, you get that from a hellhound, who is a dog.
It was the day of the ball, I place a blue hatted mask, then placed on the dress, only half of my face showed, I twirled around it a bit and felt happy, Lord Alois smiled, he told me I looked lovely. I just blushed never in my life someone tell me that, and I was okay with it, I am happy here in the Trancy Manor, and so was pluto, but for some reason I felt that something might happen tonight and it wasn't going to be good. I shooked the thought aside, I'm not gonna let a feeling ruin this happiness, at least not tonight.
It was packed, the ballroom was packed, but there was so many incerible people here and I felt lucky was different then them, Lord Trancy smiled at me saying that blue was my color, I smiled, I'm grateful about that. Pluto had a black wig on, and he acted more proper so, I was confuse to see him like this, since he usually acts his doggy-self, but hey I have to give him credit. I pressed myself on the pillar, and smiled at the people who danced, Alois was talking with some people and Pluto was surrounded by single beautiful women, but he just cracked some jokes and talked with them, I wish I can join them, but I felt like I was in the way so I just stood there by the pillar. "Ms.?" said a voice, I turned around to see... FINNI! I smiled at him "yes?" I said nicely "may I help you good sir?" I saw finni blushed, he was a bit nervous and seemed to be afraid, then I noticed the sapphire note I gave him, it was glowing "are you... cerina?" he asked. I was shocked and afraid, but I felt happy "yes, finni it's me" I smiled, Finni smiled sadly "thank god I found you, master ciel been looking for you come on I'll-" "no, I can't finni, I just can't go back, I have a new master now, and I mustn't betray him, besides I'm afraid finni, I'm afraid to go back" I said crying. Finni took my hand and we left the ballroom to the garden, "cerina, I don't want you to be scared, but I don't want to be separted from you, your like my sister cerina, the only person I felt close to" he hugged me, I felt safe in finni arms and I really did feel at home, "finni your like a brother to me, and I am grateful to have someone like you in my life, but-" I went silent, the thought of taking finni and pluto away from the phantomhive family, it wasn't fair for them, but it wasn't fair for me either. "Finni! where are you master ciel is calling for you" said Baldroy as he wondered around the garden, "cerina, please come home, I miss you, everyone misses you!" he cried, "I'm sorry finni, but I can't go back there, but whenever you feel lonely or if your scared at night wear the note and think of me, you can feel me through this finni. You know me better than anyone in the Phantomhive family, just dream about me, think about me, and I'll be there" I said hugging one last time before leaving him, in the distance I hear baldroy asking him what was wrong. I really don't like being seprated from anyone, but I can't go back, my fear of Sebastian is too much even though, I have given some thought about it, yet this is too much for me to handle, way too much. "Excuse me" said a boy, I looked uo to see Ciel! I change my voice and said, "I'm sorry sir, I wasn't paying any attention" ciel smiled "nothing to worry about Ms." I bowed and left, but then my hand was taken by him "cerina? why did you leave? I know it's more about you being scared" he said. Damn! I'm in deep shit now, and how the fuck did he know it was me?! "I'm sorry sir, but I can't tell you, and Mr. Trancy will be mad if he found out I'm with you, so forgive me, but he's calling" I said poiletly, I gently took my hand and dashed away, but I can hear ciel call out to me. Mr. Trancy saw me, and he noticed I was followed by someone "claude, distract him, Hannah get the carriage ready!" he commanded and soon I grabbed his hand and pluto's hand then soon we dashed out, Hannah was waiting and just like that we took off, but Claude had some company. Outside my side of the window, was the one person I fear and care for... Sebastian! he seemed to follow claude and by the looks of it, Claude seems weak and beaten up, "Lord Trancy! Claude is followed by Sebastain" I said. He frowned as he saw Sebastian, "Hannah go faster!" he commanded, I looked at the window again watching the trees go into super sonic speed, I felt bad about leaving and if I stayed here these people will be ingrave danger, I'm not taking the chance, but I can't leave either, no matter where I go it seems Sebastian and Master Ciel will find me. Are they that despress to get me? "cerina? are you ok?" ask Pluto, he held my hand then rubbed it, "ya, I'm ok" I kinda spoke to soon we felt the carriage crash, something was on the top, "oh shit! Sebastain!" said pluto, he quickly got me by the side and Mr. Trancy side. Then the carriage hit a tree, Man this is my 7th car crash in years! well carriage crash, you get my point! I try getting up, but I was wounded, I pressed my hand against my thigh, trying to slow it down. "Mr. Trancy? Pluto? Hannah? Claude? where are you guy?!" I cried out, I am scared now, what is worst Sebastian here... somewhere "oh holy father, protect me from thee, who has wield evil within thy hand" I said weirdly, but I felt those words come to life, the golden glow I saw came from me, the pain was gone, and I was healed "I was right, you are powerful" said Sebastian, he was right above me. Fuck! I'm dead! I'm dead! I'M DEAD! "easy cerina, your wound is still there, you lost alot of blood" he said holding my thigh, "stop! let me go!" I yelled, he took hold of my arms, squeezing them, "you cause me so much pain, and cause everyone pain, why did you leave?" he stared at me angerily "WHY DID YOU LEAVE CERINA!" I begin crying "I was scare okay! I been taken away from my mother, rape, beaten, by men she had met, I was use as a sacrifice to... DEMON! and was save by an angel, I'm immortal, and I wish, I wasn't, I'm scared of you, master ciel, I'm scared of this time! I just want to go home" I borrowed my face down in his chest, I felt him stroke my head like, I was one of his kittens, "if your that scared, why didn't you say anthing? I would have stopped along time ago" he said hugging me. "I was afraid you were gonna kill me" I whispered, he gasped silently, "yes, I would kill you" he said, scaring me even more, "I would kill you for making me love you" he finished.
I say I was running out of ideas! so sorry about this chapter, but it came out okay right?
