After we returned, I headed to the study. Why, I had no idea. When I walked in I froze.

There I ran to Alessa. She was sitting in a plush Chair to the side of the room.

I walked over to her and hugged her

"What's wrong?" I asked noticing her tears and sympathy sweeling in my voice.

"I don't want to talk about it…" she whispered into my shoulder.

"Okay, I'll respect that. How'd you get in?"

"The maid lady let me in…"

"Okay, come on."

We ran into Ciel in the hallway. "Hey, this is Alessa. Can she stay for the night?"

"If you would like her to, sure. Sebastian!"

"Yes, my lord?"He said poping up from behind an almost giving me a heartattack.

"Please help Adriana and her friend Alessa."

"Yes, my lord."

Sebastian led us to my room. "Will you be staying with my mistress?"

She looked appalled, and so did I.

"You PERVERT!" I screeched.

"What did I do?"He asked us girls.

"Think about it!" I said and pulled Alessa into my room and slammed the door.

"You know I can come in right?"

"The way we look at the word Mistress is completely different than what you're thinking!" Of course I knew he could get in.

"I'm sorry, I have upset you."

I exhaled and said, "You're forgiven."

"Thank you."

I don't know how, but I sensed that he was right outside the door, So I opened it. He was there just as I had thought.

"May I come in?"

"Fine."

He walked in and looked around. Alessa was settled on the bed, and I was walking away from the door, back to him. "Is there something you need?" I asked looking over my shoulder at him.

"I'm here to keep an eye on you two."

"Why? Not like we're going anywhere."

"Yeah." Alessa said for emphasis.

"I have been told to do so, while completing my other duties."

"So, go do those. We'll be here. Right Alessa?"

"Yeah."

"Alright, I'll be back in about ten minutes." He walked out while I closed the door behind him…and locked it. Thankfully I had checked that, but usually he could get in though. He had the keys. Usually. Somehow recalling before we were dropped here, a friend teaching me how to pick pocket, and managed to get the keys. He had to have noticed, because I suck at stuff like that.

Alessa came over to me, just as…one of the glass windows on the side of my room shattered. We both screamed and ran to the bathroom. Why, I had no idea. It has only one exit.

Down the hall I heard Ciel scream to Sebastian for help. He was banging on the door.

The intruder ignored that and kept coming toward us. I grabbed the shower curtain pole thing I had made Sebastian make for me, and yanked the homemade curtain off of it. I managed to do that just as the bathroom lock shattered. I pulled Alessa behind me,and she jumped into the tub. I knew I was bad at fighting, I had to though. After all, it was probably my fault she was here. Plus, she was in no state to protect herself, I could tell she was even more frightened now more than ever.

"Now, now, put that down. A lady shouldn't be holding a weapon." The man said.

"I'm sorry, but no. Can't exactly do that."

"And why not?" He got an evil smile on his face.

I heard another shatter in my room. About time… I hope.

"Don't look so hopeful. That's just my men tossing them around, and more coming."

"Them?" Alessa whimpered from behind. I had a terrified look on my face, realization setting in.

Then I looked smug at the intruder.

"What're you smiling at?"

"Our rescue."

"Wha-" he was cut short as Sebastian ripped him from the room while saying, "Stay in here." We stayed.

As the crashing when on for a while, we both stopped flinching at every crash, and I used the shower pole to hold the broken door closed. Alessa and I huddled together in the bathtub. I don't know when it started, but we were both hugging sobbing into the others shoulders.

The door flew open. A man twice my size walked in, and was caring a knife. All I could find was a towel so I threw it at him. Both Alessa and I screamed as the blade came down. It was heading toward Alessa. I jumped toward him and he changed his course. I felt a stab of pain then nothing, and then screamed in agony as the poison on the blade took effect. He left me, looked over at Alessa who was screaming louder than I had ever heard in my life, and stabbed her in the back of the leg. I moved as quickly as I could after the man had left to get over to her. He had plunged the Knife deeper than what I had gotten slashed with. I grabbed another towel and tied it around her leg. We both continued to cry, now for a different reason. The poison slowly pulling us away from each other and conciousness.

After a while, She fell unconcious in my arms and I continued to sob. I heard a soft knocking on the door, but ignored it. After all, I didn't know who it would be. There was a crack as the pole snapped. I didn't do anything I just continued to sob and let Alessa lay on my lap.

Alessa was lifted off my lap and I let the person. I couldn't fight anymore, plus, I don't know why I let the man. His hands were bare and looked strong. Stronger than me definitely. One hand had a tatoo on it. I knew I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember. The poison was now affecting my thought process. I wouldn't have been able to fight even if I had wanted to.

His actions were hesitant when he started to move toward me.

"I'm fine." I said through some tears.

He lifted me bridal style, and carried me away from the bathroom. I buried my head in his shoulder without looking at his face.

"It's okay," I heard from beside me. It sounded like Ciel, but I wasn't too sure, due to the poison.

"Where's Alessa?" I barely managed to mumble into the man's shoulder

"She's safe at home." The voice whispered.

I thought he'd meant she was dead and started bawling again. The other person must have noticed because he then whispered "She's getting treatment for the poison. You'll get it too."

That helped me stop sobbing…somewhat. I still didn't want to look up, too afraid to find another unknown face. The other thing I noticed was that the man carrying me hadn't said a word the whole time. He just walked and carried me.

I finally gathered the courage and strength to decide to look up only to find…
