Lucy's POV
"No!" I scream as Ashe proceeds towards Ciel with his sword. I jump in front of Ciel-acting as a shield. Just before Ashe's blade hits me, Sebastian comes and grabs Ciel. He yanks my arm, pulling me away from the blade's path. Sebastian jumps to the other side of the platform and sets Ciel down-I run over to them.
"An impressive sword. But utterly useless if your unable to land a blow." Sebastian says to Ashe. Directing his attention at Ciel while still looking a Ashe he says, "Master, I think this may be the end of our journey. Now, my orders."
"Ciel, no." The Queen pleads.
"Sebastian, kill Ashe." Ciel says.
"Is that all, Young Master?" Sebastian asks him. Ciel clenches his fists and says,
"No also, kill the Queen."
"Ciel." The Queen says, taking a small step forward.
"Yes, Milord." Sebastian jumps up in the air with silver knifes between his fingers. He throws them a the Queen, only for the knifes to be blocked off by Ashe's sword. Sebastian and Ashe engage in combat-Ashe with his sword and Sebastian with his knifes.
"No, stop!" The Queen yells. "This is dreadful. Please stop him, do something please, Ciel!" As the angel and the demon fight, parts fall off of the Eiffel Tower. Out of the blue, my heart begins to race. I grab my chest from the agony. My blood feels as if its boiling. I fall on my knees, breathing heavily. I feel my energy level drop drastically-I fall flat on my face. In moments I black out.
"Anger, agony, darkness, loathing. All these linger in your heart." I hear Angela say. I lay motionless in a pitch black room. Her figure appears before me. "Your heart is so dark, yet your mind and complexion are bright." She reaches out her hand toward me. "Come with me, Lucy. I'll cleanse your heart of all those horrid feelings and whisk away the dark clouds shrouding it. I'll show you who you really are, help you meet your real parents, and even let you see your old parents again." I squeeze my eyes tight, then glare at the fallen angel.
"I've already told you-I'll never join forces with you. I'd rather perish into nothingness that work along side you. I know what I must do. I have a reason to continue living as I am." I say.
"Foolish girl!" She exclaims.
I wake up on a soft couch. Sitting up, I recognize the hotel room we reserved before going to the expositing. I walk over to a window to see a bright and shining moon.
"What happened to me?" I wonder aloud. As I head for Ciel's room, I see Sebastian walking away towards the front door. "Where are you going?" I ask him.
"Glad to see your awake." He says. "You should go to your room and get a proper rest." With that, Sebastian leaves.
"That was…unusually pleasant for Sebastian." I say to myself. "Ridiculous." I knock gently on Ciel's door, then enter the room. I see him asleep in his room. I go to turn off a left-on light when I see that Ciel's sweating. I walk to the side of his bed-Ciel is fidgeting nervously in his sleep. "Must be having a nightmare." I say to myself. I pull the covers up on Ciel. I leave the room to put on a nightgown. I come back in the room, still worried about Ciel, and fall asleep in a chair in the room.
"What are you doing in here!" I wake up to Ciel's voice. I rub sleep from my eyes and look at him.
"Are you okay? I noticed that you looked awfully disturbed in rest, so I came in here to sleep for the night. In case you woke up screaming or something." He eyes me.
"If that ever even happened, Sebastian would help me. You wouldn't have to bother." Ciel says.
"Oh that reminds me." I say. "I saw Sebastian leave last night. Did you send him to get something?"
"What?" Ciel says. He runs in every room, calling Sebastian's name. I go into the master bathroom to see Ciel looking at his contracted eye. He runs out of the room in a flash. I'm sure everything's fine, I think to myself. I go to get dressed in my room. I put on a dark purple, knee-length dress with silver accents. I put on black, lace-up heels then put my hair up in a ponytail. I go to see Ciel. He comes out of his room looking like a mess. His blue top is buttoned incorrectly and his hair is a disaster. I try really hard not to laugh.
"Can you really not dress yourself without Sebastian?" I ask. Ciel turns away from me and heads out the room. He goes to the check-in counter and asks the worker is he's seen Sebastian-the reply is no. Once back in the room Ciel says,
"I'm going to go look for him." I sigh. I grab his coat and top hat. I put the hat on his head and hand him the coat.
"If you wear this, people won't see how incapable you are of dressing yourself." He tries to put the coat on, but keeps messing up the buttoning. "This is ridiculous." I say. I button the coat for Ciel.
"Right, lets go." Ciel says, with a bit of anger. We walkout of the hotel-I can tell something's bothering Ciel.
"I'm sure he's somewhere." I say to Ciel, trying to cheer him up. "I doubt he'd run away." Only after finishing the sentence I realize that I'm looking down at Ciel. Shouldn't have worn heals, I think to myself. "I promise I'll help you find him, Ciel." I assure him, trying to ignore the height difference.
"London isn't that far." He says, looking up at the sky. "I'm certain we can get there alone." Ciel continues walking.
"Ciel, that's insane." I say to him, "Yes, we're Nobles, but we're also children. No one will take us seriously. How are we supposed to get on a ship? I doubt they'll sell us tickets even with the money we have."
"Being a Nobleman is enough to surpass that I'm young." He says. "Either your coming or not."
"I'm coming." I assure him. "But don't say I didn't warn you." I follow him up to a wagon where a younger man is unloading some barrels.
"Please take me to the Port of Calais." Ciel says to the man.
"What, really?" He asks turning around to face Ciel. "And what exactly may I ask are you willing to pay?" Ciel holds up a sack of money.
"How much do you want?" Ciel asks him. The man lets us on the back of the wagon. We ride out of town and into the countryside.
"Ciel, I feel like we've made a mistake." I say. All of the sudden we come to a stop.
"Here we are." The man says.
"Pardon," Ciel says, "I asked for the Port of Calais." The man comes around to where we sit in the wagon.
"So sorry, but I live elsewhere." He says, lifting us out.
"Put me down!" Ciel yells as the man lifts him from the wagon. He then walks back to the front and says,
"Well kid I'm sure you'll eventually hit the Port that you need. That assuming you keep walking straight of course." He rides away.
"Get back here!" Ciel yells out to the man. "Do what I paid you for you bounder!" Ciel clenches his fist with anger.
"I knew something like this would happen." I say, rubbing my forehead. Ciel begins to walk straight forward. Following him I say, "Yes walk straight forward and you'll hit the port. In the next week." We walk for several hours and don't hit a town until nightfall.
"Here's a hotel." I say, pointing to a grimy little building.
"Surely you must be kidding." He says.
"Would you rather sleep in the streets?" We both sigh, and walk into the little lodging. We go to the front desk-Ciel asks the man running it,
"We would like two rooms for the night." The man looks at us and says,
"You'll be paying?"
"I can't right now." Ciel says. "But I'll be sending money from London later." The man waves his hand at us-motioning us to leave. "Are you toying with me?" Ciel says, irritated to the man. "I am Ciel Phantomhive. Everyone knows that name. What kind of business are you running? Haven't you ever heard of my company?" Ciel holds up the hand that he wears his family ring on. "Take a look at this ring. It's been passed down through generations."
"Alright, I'll take that then." He says. "In exchange for the ring, I'll let you stay. The gem isn't bad, kid. So I'll throw in breakfast too."
"Excuse me!" Ciel says, quivering with rage. I hold up my hand.
"You can put it on my tab." I say. "One of my family's warehouses is in Paris. Put the charge to the factory, I'll repay them then."
"What kind of factory?" The man asks.
"I'll clear it up. I'm Lady Lucy Rosenerro, last remaining bloodline to the great Rosenerro family."
"I heard they all died. Had a sickly little daughter too." I storm out of the building in rage.
"So how about that ring, kid?" I hear him ask Ciel. Ciel soon storms out al well and yells at the man,
"You honestly think I'd give this to rubbish like you?" Ciel looks down at his ring. Exhausted, we go to a nearby alley and slump against a wall. "I'm so hungry." Ciel says. I pull off my right glove to look at my family ring. It has a large green gem that's centered by smaller gems of each color in the rainbow, pink and white. The frame is solid gold that's shaped to look like a vine with leaves. The back of the ring comes to form a little rose. I admire it for a second, then put my glove back on. All of the sudden, a little black cat walks in front of us.
"It's cold, would you like to come here?" Ciel asks the cat-reaching out his hand. He picks it up-it 'meows', scratches Ciel then runs off. "Now even your trying to make a fool out of me!" Ciel yells at the cat. Ciel gets up and chases the cat. "Get back here!" He yells. Chasing after Ciel I call out,
"Ciel, this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen you do, calm down!" I follow him down another alley way. Back on a main road, I see the port.
"So it was right here the whole time." He says. "It was this close. I wandered everywhere, unable to find it."
"Don't take all the blame." I say to Ciel, "I couldn't find it any better than you." We walk up to a dock at the port. "A ship won't be here until dawn at least." I say to him. "Best we find somewhere to sleep." We walk over to some boxes of cargo. We sit in-between boxes. I hear Ciel sneeze-I chatter my teeth. "I think your allergic to cats." I say.
"That's why I had a dog as a kid." He admits. "But you sound like your cold." He says.
"Yes, I am. It's freezing out here." I rub my arms with my hands. Ciel crawls over to where I sit. He squeezes in next to me and puts his coat over us both. "What?" I ask.
"I'm cold as well. Plus, I can't let a Lady suffer from the cold, how would that make me look." In mere minutes, Ciel falls asleep. At least he can still make jokes, I think. I like this warmth. I close my eyes, and drift into sleep.
