Lucy's POV

The triplets run toward Ciel. Sebastian grabs him and runs backward.

I can't just stand here and watch, I think to myself. Deciding that I really don't give a damn about my 'dear fiancée' I summon a feather behind my back and throw it at him. Unfortunately, Claude catches it and keeps a tight grip on my wrist.

"Aren't you rude." Alois says to me. "Trying to harm your own fiancée." I pull my wrist away from Claude.

"You want this?" I say to Alois, taking off the ring. "Then you can have it!" I throw it on the ground. "I only said yes because I was going to try to obtain some information." Before Claude can stop me, I jump up into the trees.

As I run on the tree tops, trying to find Sebastian and Ciel, I change into my true form. Finally I spot them. I jump down beside Sebastian, who standing in front of Ciel (he's sitting on the ground).

"So you're here to help," Sebastian says to me. "Does this mean it's over?"

"Please stop it." I say. Ciel looks up at me, his eyes wide.

"A-are you…?" He begins.

"Yes, I am Lady Lucy." I say.

"Are you a demon?" Ciel asks me.

"Actually, she's half demon half angel." Sebastian answers.

"How is that possible?" Ciel asks.

"You tell me." I retort. All of the sudden, I hear a strange noise.

"Maser, cover your ears." Sebastian says, going over to Ciel.

"My ears?" Ciel asks. But right after he does, Ciel begins cringing with pain. Ciel covers his ears and Sebastian does too. "What is that horrid noise?" Ciel asks.

"I haven't heard it in a while." Sebastian says. "A hundred years, at least." All of the sudden I fall to my knees, covering my ears. The noise is starting to bring me pain, like Ciel. "Are you alright?" Sebastian asks me.

"No, this sound…it hurts." I say. All of the sudden the triplets approach us, each with a different sort of weapon. I let Sebastian fight them as I cover Ciel's ears. After about three minutes they run off.

"Let's go." Ciel says to Sebastian. "We need to get back to the ball." I change back as he says this.

"No need to worry, Master." Sebastian says. "Fortunately one of my very few friends are there."

"Lets go." I say. Sebastian picks up Ciel and runs back toward the mansion. I run along side them, covering my ears.

"Are you alright, master?" Sebastian asks Ciel.

"I'm fine just hurry up!" Ciel snaps at his butler.

"Right." Sebastian answers. Once we get to the back door Sebastian says to me, "Milady, it would be wise to stay out here."

"Why's that?" I ask.

"I fear how listening to the music close up will effect you." He says.

"Alright I'll wait out here until its over." I agree. I wait for abut five munites-then the tortuous music stops. I walk in to find Jasper.

"There you are, Milady." He says to me. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, thanks." I say. I walk in the ballroom to find Alois standing in the center of the room.

"Oh, and may I present my fiancée." I hear Alois say. He walk over to me, puts the damn ring on my finger and says, "As of today, Countess Lucy Celia Rosenerro and I are engaged." Then he leans in close to me and says, "Now I have you trapped in my web."

He had to announce it to the entire party," I think gloomily to myself. I see him and Claude converse with Ciel and Sebastian. A little later I am forced to go talk to party guests with Alois. As I greet the other guests, I look over at Ciel, who's sitting at a table, surrounded by all of his and my friends. As they all smile together, I stand here, faking my own happiness.

Now I just sit alone, in a seat. My eyes widen as I take a look at Sebastian and Claude. Both of them have a purple rose in their breast pocket. Right away I can tell-they made a deal. It makes me think back to when I made my deal with Sebastian. I shake my head to clear the thought. Looking at the dance floor I see Alois dancing with Lizzie. All of the sudden Ciel walks up to me and says,

"Care to dance, Lady Lucy?"

"Why not." I say. As Ciel and I dance, I notice we're getting closer to Alois.

How ironic, I think to myself, the couples have switched fiancées. Looking at Alois I think, I'm not caught in your web, you've been stung by my thorns.
