p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Alex shook my shoulder." Master, wake up…." He said softly and I opened my eyes and yawned, looking at him." I fell asleep?" I asked sleepily. He nodded and I sighed." Ciel is here to speak to you…" he said, I nod." Okay, send him out…." I said and Alex left. I wait on Ciel; he walked in with Sebastian at his side." Hello…" I smile. He nodded and sat next to me, handing me a letter. I open it, it was from Alois." The spider needs assistance…." I mutter and sighed." From the guard dog and puppet…" I growl and put the letter on the stone bench next to Me." alright…." I said to him. Ciel nodded to Sebastian and he left. Ciel stayed and put a hand on my shoulder." I know….we will be fine, don't worry…" he smiled and stood, I followed him inside. I look at alex and nodded. He followed me out to the carriage./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"I look at Ciel, then at the ground. I didn't want to go to Alois' mansion, even with Ciel. I huff and look out the window, impatient. I sigh as I see the Trancy manor just down the street. I step out when we stopped and looked at Alois. He smiled." Nice of you to come…" he said and opened the door to the manor. I walk in, with Ciel at my side. I looked at Ciel and huffed. I turn to Alois." What did you need?" I ask, being polite, but it came out almost pissed. He smirked." Now, now, don't be hateful…" he smirked and walked past us up the stairs, unto his study. We followed after him. Alois sat in his big chair and we sat in front of him, I slid down the chair, a bit and sighed. Ciel sat partly strait and look at Alois." What now?" he almost growled./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Alois smiled and looked at Claude, who was behind Alex and Sebastian. He nodded." Come along…they need to speak alone…" he said and gripped their shoulders, walking out of the room. I look at Alois." What is this about?" I demanded. Alois looked down at me. He stood and held my chin." Now, is that how a lady sits?" he asked looking in my eyes." Let me go!" I grab his arm." Alois!" Ciel growled. The room went silent." That is no way to treat a lady." He said turning his head to Alois. Alois dropped my chin and walked behind Ciel's chair. I watch hesitantly. Alois held on Ciel's shoulders." Lady? No, I think not…." He said in his ear. I'm enraged now; all I see is Ciel shudder. I smirked." Sure, because you the grisliest one in this room…" I snickered. Ciel smiled. Alois growled and snapped his head toward Me." oh?" he said and walked behind Me." we will see about that, my lovely Tear." He said in my ear, Ciel didn't hear. I growl and turn to face him." I will never be yours, Alois Trancy!" I said and back handed him. He grabbed my throat. I gasp and grab his wrists." No one slaps a richer family than yours, Lady Black." He growled. Ciel stood." Alois!" he yelled and pushed the boy of me. I hold my neck and cough. Alois stumbled back into a book case. Ciel patted my back softly. I take a deep breath." What the hell was that?!" I yell at Alois. Alois blink, unknowing of what just happened. I stood and stormed off, out of the mansion./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ciel growled at Alois and tried to follow me, losing me in the city nearby. I run into and ally, sliding down one of the walls, holding my throat, coughing. I lean my head against the wall, pulling my knees close to my chest. I lay my head on my knees and wait for anyone to find me. Ciel walked through the crowds calling my name, he walked right past me. I laughed and stayed in the shadows./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Ciel growled and walked around looking for Me." where are you?" he muttered to himself, passing me again. I sigh and cough as he passed." Moron…" I said and stood, still staying in the shadows. Ciel heard Me." there you are…" he sighed and looked at me. I held my neck still and frowned." What's wrong?" he asked walking towards me. I shook my head, dropping my hands. He hugged me." I know, I know, Alois won't bother you…" I nodded; but knew he wouldn't until he has me. I sigh and he lets go of Me." come on…" he said and started to walk back. I follow close behind him. Alex was with the carriage not too far away. Ciel and I got in and we headed back to my manor. The carriage stopped and we got out. I hug Ciel good bye and watched him leave. I walked to my room for the night to get ready. After I was done, I laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling. I see the candle light in the hall." Night, Master." Alex smiled as he walked past my room into his. I nodded and fell to sleep quickly./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Alex woke me up and smiled." Time to awake now, Master." He said and poured me a cup of tea. After he opened the curtains I woke opened my eyes. I looked at him and smiled a bit." Hello, what is on the agenda?" I asked. He thought for a moment, "We have received a letter from the Trancy butler, Claude." He said and pulled out the letter, handing it to me. I moan." What do they want?" I mutter and open it."emTear B;ack, Please excuse my Master, Alois. I don't know what came over him, which is no way to treat a Lady. If you may, I have prepared a day for you with Alois, if you wish to come. Thank you. Signed: Claude Faustus./em"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"I sigh and sip my black tea." Must we go?" I asked him." Sadly, yes." Alex nodded and pushed the tea cart into the hall. He put my day clothes next to me. He walked out and I climbed out of bed. I walked around for a while and finally got dressed, fixing my short hair, I walked down the stairs, the heels of my boots clicking against the tile. Alex was at the door and smiled." We must leave now, My Lady." He said and opened the door. I walked out and looked around." Alex, it's snowing…." I said and turned to him." Yes, it is in the winter." He smiled, putting a coat over my shoulders." What day?" I asked, figuring its December." December 13th, My Lady, it's your birthday." He smiled widely." Ciel's is tomorrow!" I smiled and press my boot in the newly coated snow." Yes, what shall we do?" he asked, opening the door for me. I got in and shrugged." I don't know, but I will figure it out, he will have a great birthday." I smile. He closed the door and started the carriage, going across town to Alois' manor./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"I sighed when I see Alois outside waiting on me. I sigh again and watch the carriage pull up. Claude opened the door and didn't smile. I glared at him and got out, crossing my arms." Okay Alois, I'm here, what do you want to do?" I ask." I knew it was your birthday, so I had Claude send you the letter." Alois said walking towards me. I sigh." Yes it is my birthday, what about it?" I asked. He smiled and took my hand." We are going to have fun, my dear." He said and kissed my knuckle. I died on the inside a bit, out of disgust. I smiled, just a bit. He smiled widely and pulled me into the mansion, Claude taking off my coat./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"" emWhat kind of fun?/em"those words ran through my head, with many, many answers following, I still followed him though." emstop yourself!/em" I thought and sighed." Alois, what do you have planned for the day?" I asked and he turned to me." I'll let that be a secret." He smiled and walked again. I roll my eyes and followed anyways." Alois, please, tell m…." I stopped, he turned to me and held my waist." Hush." He said and smiled." Please tell me you know how to dance." He said. I nodded a bit." Good." He said and took my hand. I did blush the tiniest bit, but still danced with him." emdamn he is good…/em" I thought, trying to keep up with him and the music. I stared into his bright blue eyes for a moment and he let go of me. I smiled. Alois still had a hand on my waist; he smiled as well, pulling me to a different room, the dining room./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"" Claude! Hannah!" he said after setting me in a seat. A pale young woman came out, with silver hair and dressed in purple, and also a bandage around her eye. She didn't look at Alois." Hannah, where is Claude?" Alois asked the maid." He is preparing the meal with Alex…"she said with a softy, shaky voice. He nodded." Leave…" he said, the maid leaving quickly. He looked at me." pardon Hannah." He said and smiled. I nodded a bit and looked around." emGold, everywhere, why gold? Such a bright color…/em" I thought, looking at the gold trim, the gold silverware, even the gold chandelier. I thought his color was purple, must be mistaken. Every noble family has a color, Phantomhive's is blue, the Black's is, well black, Trancy's is either purple or gold, and the Crystal's is grey or white. There are many more nobles in London, but those are the ones I can think of at the moment./p
