So this is going to start in Ciel's POV. I know he is very O.C.
If any one has any tips I could use to try and stay in character, that would be great. I also want to know, how I.C everybody thought Grell was. Thanks:

"Alina, wake up. Alina..." I said softly, pushing gently on Alina's sholder. She was still sleeping, and it was well past midday. MeyRin said she tried to wake her up earlier, but I guess she was too tired to wake up. Which is why I am here now, waking her up.

"Alina, it's time to wake up." I said. I starting caressing her soft cheek, relishing in the moment. Of course that's when she decided to wake up.

"Huh?" Alina asked openeing her eyes slowly, and yawning. While I quickly withdrew my hand, she stretched and looked around her room. She looked at the window, at her side, then turned to her other side, where I was. She looked at me and blinked a little, turned and then slowly looked back. I could tell she was still groggy, so I bit back a small laugh.

"It's time to wake up." I said, holding out the cup of tea Bernard sent with me to her. She took it, and took a sip, then slowly looked back at me.

"This might seem wierd, but I don't remeber you being a servant..." Alina said crooking one eyebrow. "MeyRin is busy, so I offered. Lunch should be ready soon, if you are hungry." I said walking over to the windows, and opening the curtians as I had seen Sebastian do so many times.

"Oh... WHAT?" Alina yelled getting out of bed. She set the cup down and ran over to the window.

"Lunch? How long was I asleep?" Alina said. I had a feeling it was more to herself, but I answered anyway. "Don't make such a big deal. You had a lot happen yesterday. So MeyRin let you sleep when you didn't wake up this morning." I said, trying to calm her down. "Yes, because I suppose yesterday was such a big day." Alina said sarcastically.

"Honestlly I would be even more worried if you had woken up and had no affects. Most people don't act normally, after they are alomst killed." I said slyly. "Most people don't see their parents die, have a demon worker, and have the blood of hell in them." Alina said back quietly. "I guess your right." I said.

It still got to me how easy conversation was with her. With Elizabeth I watched what I said. With everyone, but Sebastian really, I watched what I said. Fortunately or unfortunately for me, things just came out, with out even the slightest bit of thought. I would have to better watch what I said, or I might become too improper, or worse let my feelings be known. I still didn't think she returned my feelings. I didn't even know if I wanted her to.

I reasoned with myself, if I could leave, and not ever see her again, then maybe I could go back to my normal ways. Without all the weak emotions, and catching my self just thinking about her hair, and her beautiful eyes. Like I was now.

"So anyway. Lunch should be ready soon?" Alina asked. "Ah, yes. Um, sorry, let me leave the room, so you can have privacy and get... changed or something." I said backing out of the room. I haven't any idea why, but suddenly I felt flushed and embarrased. I left the room, sighing to myself. Today was going to be a long day.

(Alina's Pov)

"Ah, yes. Um, sorry, let me leave the room so you can have privacy and get... changed or something." Ciel said as he walked out of the room. After he quickly closed the door, I looked down at myself. I was still wearing the same dress from yesterday. I remeber now, I fell asleep at the window... but then how did Ciel wake me in bed.

I guess I slept walked or something. I dismissed any further thinking as I went to go get a new dress for the day, and changed. I put something simple on, since I knew there was a good chance I wasn't leaving the house today. I stood for a moment. I tried to remeber all that happened yesterday. Thats when I remebered that Ciel and I almost kissed. So asking him to go alone with me off grounds, probably wasn't the smartest choice for me. I would have to be more careful around him, before I ended up making a fool of myself.

He loved my best friend, they were engaged! Maybe when I thought he was leaning in also, it was a trick of my mind. He didn't say anything because he didn't want to be rude. Or maybe he really does return my feelings... no, I couldn't let my self think like that. I couldn't do that to Elizabeth.

Besides, I coulnd't ever love anyone that way. I could never marry anyone, and drag them into my mess of a life. With all the underworld buisness with the Queen that I have, having demons and other worldy beings in and out of my house... just being with me would put anyone in danger. Like it did my parents...

(In Gringotts)

"Why, thank you good sir." The papermen bowed as I gave him the price for a paper. I took the paper and opened it, skimming the headlines for anything relevant. "Atleast the killings have stopped." I heard from behind me. "Lillian. What a pleasant surprise." I said. I took her hand, and warmly grasped it.

"Mhmm. I guess that means you aren't paying attention to your surrondings?" Lillian asked, wrapping her arm around me.

"Why should I. I am a demon, not a human so its not like I am in any really danger." I said lowering my vioce, and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Yes, but you are playing the role of a human. Humans can die, so if someone was to sneak up on you right now, what would you do? For how long could you play dead, before it got you into trouble?" Lillian said smiling up at me. I sighed admitting defeat. I have never met a demon, or any creature even amongst humans, as beautiful and radiant as Lillian. All of my defences and walls broke down around her. We both knew it was in vain though.
As soon, as my master has to leave, that means I must also. If the situation was different I would actually stay with her.
Each demon had one other, simliar to the idea of a soulmate for humans. I had no doubt in my mind that Lillian was mine. Contracts came first in the demon world, as we both knew well. I knew my young master would have to come first, just as even with no contract, Alina would come first in Lillian's life.

"Claude hasn't heard anything new either." Lillian said from my side, with her arm draped over mine. I threw the newspaper away not finding any intresting news. "Well, we have been gone from the manor for two days, but we have only been here for one. I know the plan was to stay in the city for two days. Though I must say we shouldn't need the second day." I said with an amused grin.

"Why is that? We have met everyone in this town that is important, yes, but don't you think we need to establish a relationship with some? The ball..." Lillian started.

"Yes, my dear, but with your beauty and charm, the extra day is not necessary. I say we go see the lord, and the mayor and meet whoever else is necessary, and be one our way. If we do that we will just have the one extra day for traveling, and I will be back with my young master, and you will be back with Alina." I said. When I said Alina's name, a sad smile came upon Lillian's face.

"I know you must miss her terribly. I daresay I even miss my young master a little. The relationship we have is no where near as close as yours though." I said. I hugged Lillian once more.

"Fine. Today is the last day. I atleast want to stay a half a day tommorow though." Lillan said returning the hug.

"Anything you say Lillian, dear. Anything you say." I whispered in her ear before kissing her softly on the cheek.

I walked down the staircase, into the dining room. I could tell Julius went all out, no doubt he thought I was litterally starving from missing breakfast and dinner.

"Julius was this all really necessary. I am not even that hungry." I said as I walked past the eating chef. Just as I said that, my stomach growled. I blushed a little and looked away. He didn't say anything and after a minute I looked back at him. He rose one eyebrow at me and looked at my chair. I sighed, taking the hint, as I sat down in my chair. I put meat and pastires on my plate. I took a few bites slowly, not wanting to ruin my stomach.

I looked around. Bernard, Bard, and MeyRin talking. Julius and Finnian were talking amongst themselves also. I looked over to my side and saw Ciel watching me.

"You need to eat." Ciel said quietly. I looked down at my plate and slowly started eating. After about half an hour, I was finally done with my plate. MeyRin, and Bardroy cleaned the table, while I am sure Bernard was cleaning dishes. Julius and Finnian were outside, laughing about something. I just sat there, when slowly I started to fade from my surrondings. I closed my eyes, as I felt light-headed. I stood up, to leave the room, but I got dizzy and fell on my knees. Suddenly I felt someone's hands around me, trying to sit me up.

"Alina, whats wrong." Ciel said from beside me. I looked up and saw MeyRin was trying to help me regain my balance, while Ciel stood on the side of me, ready to catch me if I fell.

"Probably just ate too fast. I am sure she will be fine. Stand up slower next time, be careful!" Bernard said from over to my far right.

"Oh, thanks oh-so much Bernard." I said, rolling my eyes. Bernard was a cook, he had always been a wonderful cook. He was too formal and uptight though. I don't think I have ever seen him actually rest, even though I had told him to take days off time and time again.

Julius came from a much different type. He had been an orphan, and my mother had taken him in. She was going to raise him as a stepson, but he told her it didn't feel right. He was about 5 years older then me, and he had told her he came from a family of staff. She told me she had asked him where he wanted his life to be.

He said outside, where the air is fresh and crisp. So there he stayed, and only in a storm were we able to drag him inside. Both Julius and Bernard didn't like how informal I told them to be. They both said they found that they should respect me in the upmost way, because my family 'saved their life' or something like that. I truly appreciated them, and all they had done for me and my family. They worried about me, just as a family would. So was my second family.

"Help her up into the library, and open up the balcony doors, let some fresh air come in. She needs it." Bernard said. MeyRin stood me up, and I pushed myself away from her. I walked right past her, and right past Bernard into the hallway.
I knew MeyRin would follow, just as Bernard would to make sure I made it to the library. So I went there anyway. We had made it in there, when MeyRin went across the room, and opened the wide french doors, allowing a breeze to come through the room.

Both Bernard and MeyRin bowed to me, then left. I turned around and noticed I truly was alone. Ciel hadn't come up here. I sat down. In a way I was glad Ciel did not come. I was starting to become even more attatached, and that wasn't good. I needed to detach my self from him. I couldn't allow my feelings to grow anymore, though I doubt they could.

It scared me how much I felt I loved him. Just not being in the same room, I ached for him. I wanted to be with him every second, not just be with him, but be in his arms. I wanted to see how his lips really did feel upon mine. I wanted him, and I felt terrible for feeling that. I couldn't help it though. With every fiber of my being, with my soul even, I wanted him, no I needed him. I needed him to be able to breathe, to live. I had only known him a little over week and already, I felt as if I need him in order for my life to go on. I never felt these emotions in any way or anyone other than my parents and Lillian. I didn't know kow to prosess it. I couldn't talk to Lillian. She wasn't here. So for now, I just had to do my best.

Later in the day, I played another game of chess with Ciel, which once again ended in a draw. When we were done, it was time for dinner. Shortly after dinner I went to sleep. I knew I could get through my feelings. I just had to figure out how they came about in the first place.

(Next day-Gringotts)

"Why yes. Our daughter, her beau and her cousin." Lillian said.

"Oh, I will be delighted to meet them, your daughter exspecially if she is half as charming as you my dear." Lord Richard said kissing Lillian's hand. If it wasn't for the fact, that a compliment and a small kiss were formal means of greeting, I would have killed him right there for touching her in anyway. I knew I must stay light headed though, if our act was to work. "Who might you be, hmm?" Richard asked Claude.

"I am Sir Alois's butler, sir." Claude said bowing to the Lord. "Yes. I am the nephew." Alois purred, shaking hands with Lord Richard.

"Hmm. What a lovely family." Lord Richard said. "Well again. when you all come back, and with your daughter and her beau I will be delighted to meet them!" The Lord Richard said again, shaking my hand once more. "Thank you again, for your kindess and hospitality." I said bowing to the mayor. "Oh, don't mention it. There is your train though, so you best be on your way." The man said bowing once more. He tilted his top hat to Lillian, and walked away. Quickly, all four of us got our belongings and got onto the train.

"One day of travel. Then back home." Lillian said to herself. "Only for a short while. We must inform the two what they shall do. Of course, we won't give them the full story, like we said." I whispered in her ear. We quickly grabbed a compartment, Alois and Claude going to a seperate one, while he all waited for the train ride to be over.

"Just tell her it's fine. She doesn't need to know the details." I said dismmisingly waving off the problem.

"You can't be vague, she will want to know details."

"Well, then she will write another letter, and by the time we get the next letter, hopefully we will have more progress with the case, right?" I said, standing besides the chair Ciel was sitting in. We had recieved a letter from the queen, asking what had been accomplished thus far. Ciel was writing a response, but considering we weren't very far in the case, we hadn't had much to write about.

"Fine." Ciel muttered, finally writing something on the paper. He wrote a short note, and gave it to MeyRin to send to her majesty.

"Honestly, if she trust us enough to put our lives on the line for her, she should trust that we will be fine and ready when the time is right. You English people." I teased. So far today, it was past midday, and Ciel and I had talked and such. We were already playing around with each other, laughing and joking.

"Oh... go drink some vodka." Ciel said, tuning in his seat to smile at me. I was leaning up against a wall, with my arms folded. "Why don't you go drink some tea?" I asked grinning.

"You know Alina, that actually doesn't sound bad right about now." Ciel said as he got out of the chair.

"Would you care to join me? Or are Russian's to good to drink with us Englishmen?" Ciel asked with a crooked smile. I laughed and walked past him.

"Yes, I will join you for some tea." I said. He caught up with me and we both started laughing lightly. We made our way down to the kitchen area, and then we went in to ask if anyone could make tea.

Or, we would have. No one was in the kitchen. I shrugged my sholders, and started the kettle with water for tea myself.

"You know what you are doing, right?" Ciel asked. I looked at him. "Yes. Unlike some, I don't depend solely on my servants. I have made myself dinner before. If I wanted to, I could change my identity and go undercover as a servant." I said.

"No matter, that doesn't explain why the servants aren't here." Ciel said from behind soon as I finished, and set the pot to warm up, I turned around.

"I don't know. I am curious now though. I want to go look for them." I said walking past Ciel, out of the kitchen, and into the foyer. I looked around when my eyes fell on the front door.

"Aw, darn. We already have our answer." I said, walking up and snatching the note.

Sir Ciel and Lady Alina,

We went into town. We all needed more supplies for our jobs, and for things around the house. Please excuse our absence.

Sincerely,

Your servants.

"It seems, they have left." I said, crumbling up the note. I walked back into the ktichen, with Ciel right behind me. I threw the note into the fire pit. I watched it as it slowly burned, and turned to ash.

"Well, when should the tea be ready?" Ciel asked lazily. "A couple of minutes."

We stood in silence, until the kettle started to whistle. I was ok with that though, it was a comfortable silence. Quickly I made our tea, and set all the things on a tray. I grabbed the tray and headed for the door. Ciel opened the door for me, and we made our way to the tea room. As soon as I set everything down, we each made oursleves a cup of tea. I sat down and waited a while before I took a sip of mine. Form the seat across me, Ciel drank his tea.

"Alina, this tea is good!" Ciel said, with a surprised look on his face. "Are you saying Russian's can't make tea?" I joked. He rolled his eyes at me. I knew he just wasn't used to anyone but a servant doing something, so I just dismissed it. We drank the tea in silence. Suddenly, I started to hear noise from outside.

"Is it... raining?" I asked. I got up from my chair and made my way to the window. Peering outside I could see that a storm was starting.

"It'll be cold tonight." Ciel said suddenly from behind me. I turned around and stood there.

"Yes I suppose so. Well, thank goodness I didn't have any plans to go outside." I said. I went over to my seat and sat back down. Ciel and I talked about random things for a couple of hours. Soon the tea was gone, and it was dinner time. I made us something to eat, but after we ate, we went to the library. "It's so cold." I said. I went to start a fire, when Ciel stopped me.

"Let me do something." Ciel said, covering my hand with his. I stopped and stared at him for a while. His face was so close to mine, I felt my heart starting to beat fast. Thats when thunder crashed through the air, snapping me out of it. I quickly nodded and backed off from Ciel. Ciel and I had went looking through spare closets, when we came upon some blankets. We had managed to find a couple of blankets, just enough to keep us warm through the night.

After the fire was lit, Ciel came and sat down next to me, and also covered himself up. I sat there watching the flames dance, and change color.

From red, to blue, to orage, back to blue, and them sometimes to red.

"Such a shame, it was a beautiful day today." Ciel said, also looking into the fire place. I turned to look at him. "I guess. Just as much as any day." I said, watching his face.

"Was it? I barely noticed." Ciel said, turning to look at me and smile. His smile took my breath away. I laughed slightly, then turned back around. I don't know how long we were there, because soon I started to lose consciousness. I closed my eyes. When I fell asleep, I was sitting on one end of the couch. When I woke up though, it was in a very different place.
