10. Her brother, On Ice…with a thawing heart.

(Emily's POV)

I rolled over in my sheets to a blinding light and I had realised that Sebastian must have opened the curtains. I groaned but the voice I heard made me shoot up and I awoke to Claude and Alois at the foot of my bed. Oh yeah, they were expected. I groaned and lay back down. I didn't want to move or in fact go out in the freezing cold. I felt someone climb on my bed and I decided to wrap myself up in the sheets. "Come on my sleeping beauty…time to go." I groaned and mumbled "I'm ill" he laughed and then said "Claude, check her temperature and ensure she has some kind of warm clothing so she won't get ill." I rolled my eyes and that's when I felt a cold body against my own and I yelped which earned a vibrated laugh from Alois, who was buried next to me with his whole body close to my own and his head was in my neck groove. I tried to skirt away but was grabbed by the waist and then a seductive voice sounded saying "Only wearing a nightshirt ay? Well that made my fun a lot better." I cringed and closed my eyes as a bare hand of a demon placed itself upon my forehead and said in a monotone voice "No temperature your highness and she has enough warm clothing for the trip." With that Alois peeled back the covers and licked my neck saying "Well then Phantomhive we best get you some breakfast so we can get moving." I sighed but had no choice in the matter. I rolled my eyes and said "Fine, but my own butler dresses me!" Alois chuckled and said "And why not me?" I gulped…oh great now I had to contend with him.

I clenched my teeth as I stood up and Alois was soon to follow. I looked at my bathroom door and wondered if I would ever be able to make it in there but once I saw Claude I decided against it. I looked straight ahead at Alois and saw that he was touching my pale skin. He smiled at me and then he grabbed my nightshirt and pulled it off with a swift movement. I tried to grab it but was unsuccessful and a mocking smile appeared on the lips of Alois. It was strange that I still thought of him as Alois even though I knew the truth but I couldn't help it because I had known him by that name all my life. I hadn't noticed when Claude approached so when he was in my face I jumped back and hit my heel on the door. I winced and then he attacked my body with clothing and soon I was dressed. He had wasted no time at all and I couldn't help but shiver at the fact that this was happening. I was guided downstairs by Alois who was skipping and jumping like a three year old and I simply stared ahead and not once replied to his questions. When Sebastian turned the corner I practically begged him to get me away from the little idiot and he did accordingly. I was whisked into the dining room where a huge breakfast had been prepared and I looked but my stomach wasn't willing to comply. Why did I feel like this?

I sat at the end of the table where a note had been left for me and I opened it up and saw Sebastian had wrote it.

Dearest Emily,

I know that you already know but just to warn you…this is nothing to do with a Queen's order. So listen carefully. I want you to stay safe because I don't trust the Trancy household and I want you to be safe. Pluto will be accompanying you today and I will be at the fair myself later on. So I beg of you please do not provoke the little brat and be good.

Yours, Sebastian.

I looked at my butler serving morning tea and smiled; always so protective. But he had a good reason to be because the Trancy butler was a force to be reckoned with. I played with the porridge in front of me and this earned a growl from Sebastian who simply replaced the breakfast with a scone and I knew I had no choice but to eat. I picked up the scone and took a tiny bite out of it because I seriously didn't want to eat. Alois looked at me and giggled "Why won't you eat? Surely you know that you have to or you'll waist away!" I looked at him and I could tell he was referring to the times where we had done 'it' and he was a lot better built that I was. I looked at the tea in front of me and it smelled beautiful but I didn't want it. I stood up but this earned me a smack to the back of the head and I turned to see Ciel stood there. I clenched my head and moaned "What the hell! Why did you do that?" he looked at me and replied "Well, eat your breakfast then." I sighed and turned to Trancy saying "I will be waiting outside for you when you're done."

*Time skip*

(Alois' POV)

I walked along the iced Thames with Emily linked in my arms and I couldn't be happier. She had given me a gift and I knew it was her birthday in two days' time and I had to get her something but needed her to help me decide. We walked past lots of jewellers and one stood out to me and I couldn't help but run over to it. I had pulled her over in the process and she was on her way up when I called Claude over. "What is her favourite gem?" he looked at me and then whispered "Well, your highness it appears to be a sapphire." I nodded and then she came and stood next to me and I giggled "Sorry, but this sapphire necklace caught my eye." She looked down at the necklace and I smiled. Maybe this would work…

(Emily's POV)

I stared at the necklaces and saw that there were some beautiful necklaces on show. I found a beautiful teardrop sapphire and that's when my eyes lit up. It was perfect and I knew that I could have bought it if I had wanted to, but without my money I had no chance. "The Teardrop sapphire, please good sir." I looked at Alois who smiled and said "I am simply returning a thought that you gave me." I closed my eyes and for a moment I thought something was going wrong and any moment Claude would kidnap me and kill me. But nothing happened.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I turned Alois was walking away. Okay that was weird, but who touched me? I turned to find a man who I knew all too well…Aleister Chambers. I smiled and he remarked "Oh what a beautiful dove in a cold and icy kingdom. Are you lost little dove?" I rolled my eyes and Alois returned saying "Cousin? What are you doing here?" Aleister smiled and replied "I am one of the judges for the Ice Sculpting competition and you?" Alois grabbed my arm and said "Here with my girlfriend and we were just browsing." I looked at him sharp but he gave me a puppy look and I simply turned away and carried on looking at the stalls. I walked past two women who were talking about someone but I caught a bit of their conversation;

"So have you heard? The young Earl Trancy has a new girl and apparently it is the Lady Phantomhive!" I rolled my eyes and the other woman sounded saying;

"Really? But I thought she wasn't courting just as of yet. This is a surprise"

I moved away from the stall and that's when a Noah's Ark caught my eye. It looked exactly like the Funtom Ark except there weren't any of them left to my knowledge because there were only three ever made. "Ah young lady, you have a keen eye. That there is the Funtom Ark and it is one of a kind because there were only three made." I was about to voice my opinion when another familiar voice sounded saying "That is clearly a fake because they were hand crafted and since our manor burnt down, even we do not possess one." I turned to find Ciel stood with Sebastian and I couldn't help but smile. He truly loved putting people in their places. "Even you should have known that sis." I looked at him and remarked "I did and I was about to voice my opinion when you butted in." Alois came striding over and said "Oh, hello Ciel. What are you doing here?" Ciel looked away and mumbled "Same thing as you I guess." I laughed and began to walk when Inspector Aberline caught my eye "Inspector? London must be very quiet for the police to be at the fair." He looked at me and said "Actually I was here investigating the Ho…" I looked at him and he whispered "The Hope diamond mystery." I looked at my brother and I could tell he was intrigued. Oh great I knew that look, he wanted to investigate. I was about to protest when Alois pulled me away and carried on his shopping trip.

"What exactly were your orders from the Queen?" I quizzed as I past many clothing stalls and he stopped and remarked "To get you something for your birthday." I rolled my eyes and walked off saying "There were no orders, was there?" He looked down and I smiled saying "But thank you for the thought." Even though he was being nice to me there had to be another reason he was doing this. Nobody has ever got away with revealing a secret of Trancy and lived, or at least without consequence. What was he planning?

(Alois' POV)

I looked at her and watched she brush against all of these fine silks. She was going to pay but not yet, not while I was enjoying the hunt. I turned to Claude and said "Do you think her butler would be good in bed?" he looked a little stunned but replied quietly "Your Highness, that is a dangerous game and to be honest she would make the best crown jewel so why not just focus on her. I have got the Triplets to build the apparatus and it should be finished soon. But do not worry, her payment will be your pleasure your highness." I smiled and walked off towards Emily. Revenge would soon be mine.

(Sebastian's POV)

What was Trancy and Claude playing at? They were never this nice unless there was some kind of catch. I looked over at Ciel who gave me the nod to disappear. I walked out of the tent and into the fair to investigate this murder. I saw Claude and he simply nodded to me and walked away. I frowned and decided to follow them but only for a short period and that's when I saw in the window of a shop that Alois and Emily were…kissing? I turned away and that's when I saw Claude grin. This was not Emily's idea…but I was still unsure. Why was she complying with them? Surely she should be fighting them and pushing them away. Did what she reveal to Trancy really that powerful to stun him back to reality. "Awwww, look at that cute couple!" I turned to find a woman also staring at them and I couldn't help but wish that it was me in there. I walked away after seeing enough and carried on with my job. "Is my big brother getting jealous of his mistress' choice? Maybe it is right for her because after all…he is closer to her age than you are brother." I clenched my fists and I could feel my anger burning within. "Awwww, aren't you cute when your angry?"

That was it, I lost control.

I swung at him and he hit the ice hard and blood poured from his head. He was going to pay for winding me up. I climbed on top of him and started to hit him when a voice shouted "Sebastian! Stop this instant and that is an order!" I looked up to see Emily stood at the door shocked. What had I just done? I looked down at Claude who was flinching and I picked myself up to see a crowd had formed. I had just made a big mistake. "Sebastian? What in hell has posseted you?" I laughed inwards at her use of 'hell' puns but this was no time for laughing. I stood up and bowed low "I am sorry young mistress but…but I lost control." What was I supposed to tell her? Alois laughed behind her and I flinched but she walked over and touched my shoulder. "Sebastian, please don't ever do this again. I understand your anger but kicking his arse is my job. And please not in a public place." She whispered and I simply replied "Yes, My Lady." She breathed out and said "Come along Sebastian, we will have to do this another time Alois." And with that she walked away. I followed with my head covered by hair and when her voice sounded I jumped "Sebastian, what actually happened?" I looked at her small physique and replied in a low tone "I'm afraid my lady that he wound me up and was trying to do what he achieved. My deepest apologies for making you look bad My Lady." She sighed and said "Well, there is nothing I can do now. But next time take it somewhere else and don't use so much power because you could have shown your true nature." I bowed my head and when we reached Ciel and his remark was the first thing I heard "My god, what the hell happened to you?" I looked away and was about to answer when Emily chimed "He was protecting me…Someone tried to take my ring so he attacked them and got hurt himself."

I turned my head in shock and shame at the shame at the fact that my own mistress had to defend me. I hated this and now I had to find a way to repay her.

*Time passes (roughly most of the investigation and Noah's Ark sculpture)*

(Emily's POV)

I sat in the study reading the newspaper in which I wasn't able to read that morning. Nothing of interest and all lies as usual. I skimmed through and found a small article saying 'Lord Trancy's new love? The child has now found his soul mate in the form of Emily Phantomhive. The leader of the biggest toy company in Europe has settled down with a blonde bachelor and her partner in the Queen's animals. When asked the blonde simply said "I love Emily and soon to ask for her hand…in the proper way of course."…' I shuddered and placed the paper down only to see Sebastian's amused face. Oh great another dig at me and Alois. He placed the cup down and remarked "Well, when I read the article I laughed but the shock on your face my lady shows that you don't feel the same." I looked at him and replied "Why is he doing this? If I could kill him then I would but his god dam butler is in the way." Sebastian smirked and purred "My lady, may I suggest something?" I looked at him and nodded "Well there is a way to remove his butler from the picture but it would take time and a little bit of effort but I could tempt Claude into leaving you alone." I shook my head and replied "I don't want you in danger and I would hate for you to give something up for me." He looked at me stunned and I stood up. He looked away and I could tell that I had confused him. But I knew he would end up giving something up just for me so that was a definite no. Without thinking I walked over to him and pushed him over to the floor. What I had forgotten was he had boiling water in his hand and when he caught the tea I flinched, expecting the water to hit me but it didn't. He placed the cup down and looked into my eyes confused.

What was I doing? But I wanted to carry on so I reached for his head and caught his hair in my hands. It felt like black silk and I could hear him moan a little. I looked at the rosy red lips and could no longer hold back. I crushed into his lips and began to kiss him. His arms snaked around my back and I smiled a little but this was all he needed to enter my mouth. His tongue met with my own and I couldn't block him out so decided to allow him to play his little game. I moaned slightly and that when his chest vibrated in laughter. Oh great he was laughing at me! I was pathetic and now he knew it. I pulled away from our kiss and tried to climb up when I felt a hand pull me down. I looked to see Sebastian looking seductively and I turned away. Please don't do that…please. But I couldn't block it from my mind and when I crashed to the floor I knew he had moved to get the advantage.

Then the door opened and Ciel entered. I looked at him in shock at the fact that he hadn't knocked and he looked at us and remarked "If you're going to do it then please be quiet, I don't want to hear you both." I smiled slightly but Sebastian was the one to reply saying "I will try my Lord." I closed my eyes and that's when I heard Ciel laugh and leave the room.

(Sebastian's POV)

This wasn't the Young master I once knew but at least he was making a joke of it. I looked back to the young girl below me and I couldn't do anything but smile. "Shall we carry on my young mistress?" What the hell had just come out of my mouth? I cringed inwards at the thought of what I had just said but her reply lifted my spirits. "Only if the butler wants to." I smiled and started to remove her hair from her face when she grasped my hair and began our kiss again. She tasted beautiful and I knew her soul was worth waiting for. I tried to enter her mouth once again only to be blocked by her lips. She was playing with me once again and now I had to try and win. I pulled away and said quietly "I'm sorry my lady but I have a job to do and I cannot leave it. I am so sorry." And with that I stood up and walked away. I walked out of the room only to find Ciel stood against the wall. I smiled at her brother and walked away with a small bow.

Her brother had been so different but now I think his sister had thawed his heart. Maybe the fact that he might have lost her had changed him? Or maybe there was something else?
