~ Ciel's POV ~
When living in the cold, rainy city of London, one learns to simply adjust to the certain weather and bundle up for the sort, but tonight seemed rather freezing waiting outside of the humongous building for the Host club's party that would begin at 10:00 PM and end a half an hour before 1:00 in the morning (12:30 AM). Although waiting outside in the cold amongst the very crowd of girls and other guest's that I despised ever since my first experience, having to endure such conditions was a measure Sebastian adviced we should take to assure that the serial killer we have been tracking would actually appear this time, since the previous ball we entered before the party actually started.
In reality there was no specific way of knowing if the Phantom Murderer would arrive but there wasn't much we could do anyways. Advertising this ball to much would only make the party look suspicious and as any other criminal the Murderer would only be driven away, so sitting back and waiting was the best option we had in this very situation. And although it was likely that I have lost the battle it didn't mean I would lose the war. Since I never back away fro-
-WHAM-
The crowd lurched forward at the very sound of doors clicking open as the clock struck ten, and unfortunately I was stuck between the large assembly of people as they marched forward, Sebastian close behind me. I couldn't help but laugh slightly at the thought of yet another long night to come which seemed to bestow upon me in a rather weird consecutive pattern. But life is cruel that way and won't give you an easy ride to your destination unless you give in an equal or more ammount of hard work and determination to satisfy its needs. If only more people knew that the sacrifice you would give might as well be your very own life withought you knowing. If only I was aware of that from the start.
~ Later On ~
The party went on as planned.
The sceneries of smiles, dresses, pastries, and dancing reminded of the last party I attended here not awhile back. But that helped nothing to quench the anxiousness that lied at the bottom of my stomach. Attempting to find another method I glanced at the time on my pocket watch to only unfortunately increase my anxiety to higher levels than it had already been. The reason why was because the time specifically read:
11:55
Due to previous observations Sebastian noted that the murderer made his killings every time at midnight. The killer phantom has been targeting foreign tourist between the ages of 14 to 18 from Japan. Every second week on a Friday night the cereal killer would murder a teenager from this very island in populated areas. Such as parties, performances, or even in public. Meaning the killer would arrive in 5 minutes. Would all of this end tonight or would this murderer even bother to show up? If not all of our re-search and effort would have only gone to waste. What good would it at all be if I failed?
Behind me I heard Sebastian slightly chuckle as he tapped my shoulder lightly. Looking back I saw his smile as he pointed to my hand that held the gold pocket watch.
"I believe you are denting your watch my lord"
Looking down at my tight enclosed fist holding the watch I relaxed slightly and turned back sttubornly ignoring my butlers' previous comment. I had more things to worry about then denting a watch. If anything what would a useless old watch do for me now?
Then all of the sudden sound filled the air. And although it may have only been a small chime in the background the sound blasted in my ears forcing me to cover them in pain as I bent over dropping the pocket watch with a small thud. What the hell was happening?
"My lord, are you alright?"
Slowly the sound faded to only leave a trace of a small ring in my hearing. With hands still on my ears I turned to look at Sebastian who viewed upon me concerned. Everyone else looked like nothing had happened. No sound screeching chime was seemed to be what they heard at all. Bending down I retrieved the small pocket watch that fell on the floor and slipped it into my pocket tiredly as I gathered my words and began my response.
"Ye-ah, you didn't hea-?"
Suddenly the movement of a dark shiloueght in the corner caught my attention. Could things get any more predictable? But this could actually be the person.
The very murderer in flesh and blood standing right there.
Slowly bringing my eyes back to Sebastians face I whispered to him barely audible.
"Behind you, that person, it could be him in that corner"
With a nod and the usual response he gives me when I ask him for something he quietly slipped into the crowd. Hope filled my body. This was it, it would fina-
But then it hit me.
Was this really the best idea? Desperately I looked upon the crowd before me scanning for Sebastian discreetly, that person in the shadows might as well have been a diversion! Or even Grell while the real murderer was somewhere else within the building. I had to get to Sebastian somehow. Clenching my teeth I began to storm through the same direction I saw my butler go through squeezing the small usless watch in my pocket worried.
Until something, or someone. Held me back and covered my eyes and mouth.
Shit, how more predictable could this ever get?!
The person who restrained me was strong, and although I made efforts to get away I could'nt do anything as the person started to steer me somewhere. Out of hope, and out of reach.
