Lizzy's mind was shattered. She couldn't think; she was too deep in shock, as she set down the last book that she had received.
Ciel… Sebastian… they…
It couldn't be true. It couldn't. But everything seemed to be accurate; all the scenes with her in it seemed to be anyway. But…
Sebastian… is a demon?
And Ciel, her Ciel, the one who wouldn't hurt a fly, was so sweet and innocent…
He… was a slave?
It explained a lot, now that she thought of it. His cold exterior. Why he didn't liked to be touched. How he and Sebastian met. What exactly his 'missions' were…
The Evil Noblemen.
Ciel was one of them now… because of Uncle Vincent's departure from this world.
And he… had killed.
He had killed. Manipulated. He sent Sebastian to burn down an entire manor of children!
He was the reason for Aunty Anne's death.
Aunty Anne… was Jack the Ripper. She had killed too. Was everyone's hands stained with red?
Lizzy suddenly felt afraid. Everyone she knew… all of them have killed. They have seen death in the face. Meyrin, Baldoy and Finian too…
Sebastian was an entirely different matter to deal with.
When she first read that Sebastian was planning to take Ciel's soul, she felt like going to Ciel's manor and killing the beast immediately. But as she read on, she realized… without Sebastian, Ciel would've died a long time ago. He would have never come back, if Sebastian hadn't been there. All it took was one deal… the price of his very soul.
But Lizzy realized that there was a loophole in the contract; Sebastian would take Ciel's soul when Sebastian avenges Uncle Vincent's and Aunty Rachel's death… but what if she killed them herself?
That would negate the contract, wouldn't it?
That night, Lizzy vowed to find whoever dared to ruin the Phantomhives, before that demon did. Before he had the chance to take Ciel's soul.
But she would have to do it undercover; no one should know her plans. Especially not Ciel…
Elizabeth knew that she had a long, painful road ahead of her, but that didn't matter. If it was for Ciel, she'd dive into the depths of hell and back for him.
She wouldn't lose, especially to him.
A/N: That turned out differently than expected. Seriously. I was planning this whole confrontation with Ciel, and then the whole confusion of where the books [manga] came from… but my mind likes to throw things out of the window when I write. I'm sorry for ANOTHER monologue; it's just what I'm best at. D: I PROOMMISSEE the next fic will have actual dialog and interaction and whatnot, I've been working on it for a while now. :3 and it's a multichapter too! Yay.
