Mocha: either it's today or tomorrow, or even later here's Chapter 13! *SMILES BRIGHTLY*
Ciel: Sebastian
Sebastian: yes my lord?
Ciel:...
*MOCHA LAUGHS FOR NO REASON*
Ciel: You got her drunk again didn't you?
Sebastian: *SMILES EVILLY*
"I'm really happy you allowed me to come along Ayase-san, and it's good to see you out of dresses for once" smiled Lizzie.
"I'm happy about it too! But I have notice, why do you have a ring Box in your hands?" asked Ayase-san.
"Oh! This... it was a replacement for Ciel's previous ring, since I smashed it, but Sebastian fixed it right up, so now I don't know what to do with it" smiled Lizzie, he could see pain beneath that smile, he looks closely into the ring and smiles.
"It's a lovely ring, may I try it on?" asked Ayase-san.
Lizzie smiled and hands him the box, with no worries, he gently slips on the ring and admires it, despite it being a curse ring, it was rather beautiful, "if you want you can have it Ayase-san" smiled Lizzie.
"Oh! Thank you! But I have to get you something very special since you gave me two present before Christmas" smiled Ayase-san.
Lizzie smiled back at him, "your too kind Ayase-san, always smiling" she whispered.
Ayase-san looked down at the ring and soon it began to glow, ~*London bridge is falling down plays*~ Lizzie must have been hearing it too, cause soon both children began to follow the sound into a shop, "a Doll store" whispered Lizzie.
"Um... My lady, I wouldn't go in there" said Ayase-san as he followed the girl inside, he entered the room and saw nothing, but dolls everywhere "Welcome" went the man in purple, he sat down calming in his chair staring at the two blankly.
"Um..."
"That ring... it found it's owner... what a shame, your only have of the other half of the owner" said the man, Ayase-san looked down to the ring and gasped, Lizzie looked at the ring as well, "owner?"
"However... both of you have pretty eyes... sad eyes, ... lonely eyes,... gentle eyes" he said placing a hand on Ayase-san and Lizzie's cheek, "sorrowful eyes, so deep and lovely"
"Huh?" went Lizzie as she stared at the man.
"I can tell... Your sad because you hurt someone... and you, Your sad because your afraid to get used again.. so sad" he said making the two tear up and cry.
As an hour passed the two sat there bitterly crying, their heart aching in pain by truth and sorrows, "I see, you to buy a prefect present for your beloved cousin... as of you are haunted by nightmarish dreams of your past" he said looking at the two.
"I want them gone! this pain! this guilt! I want it out of me!" cried Ayase-san -"I just want to please Ciel!" cried Lizzie.
The man then lifts his fingers to wipe away their tears, "I help you... I can make the pain go away... I can help you give a present for you cousin" he said.
Ayase-san smiled a bit, he knew he was falling for this man's trick... luring in prey like demons did, but the thought of feeling no pain was promising, he wanted to forget it all, the death... the rape... the pain... the agony... the loneliness... he wanted it all gone.
"So I thought to myself" said the man earning the stares of the two, "How do I make you two out of?"
"Elizabeth and Ayase-san vanished!" went Ciel feeling fear swipe over him, life a blanket.
"Yes, Lady Elizabeth's Maid informed me about them disappearing in a alley, before vanishing into one certain place, Islington street" said Sebastian as he felt fear tremble within his black dark heart.
"We'll head there immediately, Good God what the hell were they thinking! running off like that!" went Ciel as he rose from his seat.
"My Lord... first please look at this" said Sebastian holding out a letter to him, Ciel gasped as he opened the letter revealing photos of missing girls and a letter from the Queen.
"So far the target was only missing girls correct?" asked Ciel.
"Yes" said Sebastian.
"Set a carriage ready, we must first do this mission first then find Lizzie and Ayase-san" said Ciel; Sebastian frowned a bit, but said nothing, just bowed then turned to walk away.
Ciel turned to the window as he waited, "damn them! How can Ayase-san be so careless, I thought he knew better than to wonder the streets of London, let alone with Lizzie" said Ciel.
*FASHBACK*
"I know where your going..."
"the Undertaker gave me something for my eyes alone.."
"this... this book is for my eyes alone..."
*FLASHBACK ENDED*
"He knew! HE KNEW THIS WHOLE TIME!" went Ciel, "Sebastian!"
"Yes my lord?" asked the butler who appeared out of no where, "that book Ayase-san always talks about... I need you to find it and bring it to me! Ayase-san knew this was going to happen, so whatever in that book holds a key to their where abouts!" yelled Ciel.
Sebastian flinched a bit, but smiled no less, within a blink of an eye he took out the book and held it to ciel.
Once he took hold of it Ciel flipped through pages and pages each held a scene what has happen during Ayase-san stay with him, until he came across a picture which held Lizzie and Ayase-san crying,
I can make the pain go away... I can help you find a present for your beloved cousin.
it was the last words on the page.
he flipped back to see the store, "I know where this is... Sebastian tell the driver to take us to Drocell's shop of Dolls, that's an order!" went Ciel.
Sebastian smiled and said, "yes My lord."
"This is such a pain!" went Madam Red as she wondered around London with Ciel... and Pluto.
"Why must we have to bring him!" asked Madam Red, Ciel growled, "he told me to bring the damn mongrel with us so do you think I have a choice... beside, this man has Ayase-san and Lizzie desperate things calls for desperate measures."
"True" said Madam as she followed her nephew, "here Pluto" said Ciel as he held out Lizzie's ribbon, but only made the man sneeze, "try Ayase-san's tie" said Madam Red as she held Pluto Ayase-san crossed tie, "Arf!" went Pluto as he began to drag Ciel down an Alley.
Ciel pulled away to see a white female dog, "Don't start Rutting here!"
"Seriously! Is this a good time to find a mate!?" asked Madam Red as she try helping Ciel pull Pluto away; "Oh my! A gentleman in rut? My hearts going to pitter-patter!" went a voice.
Madam and Ciel looked up to see the familiar red head.
"I spy a gorgeous man!" smiled the toothy grin reaper, he jumps down and lands before the three, *SIGHS* "ever since the killing incident with those ladies, Will demoted me until truly collect some troublesome souls, that rotten sadist!" he growled.
Madam Red rolled her eyes, "Why are you even here?" she growled, Grell looked over to Madam and smiled, "I came here to collect a soul-"
"Arf!" went Pluto charging at Grell, "OH! HE'S GONNA ATTACK! AT LEAST BE GENTLE!" blushed Grell, spreading his arms open, but soon realizes Pluto zips passed him, with Madam and Ciel following him.
"Why I never!" steamed Grell.
Ciel gasped as he followed the hound only to see the shop that he saw in Ayase-san book, but this time on display stood only a doll which looked similar to Lizzie, but no Ayase-san anywhere.
"LIZZIE! AYASE-SAN!" went Ciel as he rushes to the shop, "Wait Ciel!" called Madam Red as she followed him inside the store, they enter to see Pluto toying with the same little doll which looked like Lizzie.
"To-Die list, number 493: Butler and puppeteer to the house of Mandalay" said Grell as he looked towards the doll as well, "Drocell Keniz"
"That can't be her..." went Madam Red.
"No, it's not... but Ayase-san?... where did he go?" asked Ciel, as he looked around the store, "Aya-san was here!? Oh! I wanted to say hi to him for a while, no fair!" went Grell.
Ciel narrowed his eyes to the doll once more before feeling a light breeze come from a certain door, running outside to see a large castle like Manor, Madam Red stared wide eyed along with her Nephew, "How can all this be in the back of a store..." she asked.
"Well Madam, your no longer in a normal life, remember..." Smiled Grell.
Madam Red daggering her eyes at the man before seeing her Nephew run up to the castle to see a young girl standing on a pillar.
"This-" Ciel stood frozen as he stared at the young girl,"the missing girl!"
"Build it up with wax and stone, my fair lady" he said finishing the touches on Lizzie.
"Now then... to my Prince, Wax and stone washes away... iron and bronze will rot away... Silver and gold still not suitable for you..." went Drocell as he studies Ayase-san.
"Hmm..." he stares down even more, "A Royal Prince should wear finer clothing than this..." he said as he pulls out a white and black dress made just for him, "I know what to make you... Master will soon be please to have you...
~*Gems and Crystals Bright as day, bright as day, bright as day, Gems and Crystals Bright as day, My Fair Lady*~ sang Drocell as he began to undress the sleeping boy to the place on the gown.
"My Master will be please... how to hide a precious a doll for precious master" he said as he slipped on a ring with a third piece of the Hope Diamond, "Split in two, now only three remain... to death do you part, You and Phantomhive can play."
*BOOM!* went the doll as she laid lifeless on the floor, Ciel rushes over to the doll, but only to see sand coming out of her neck, "so... she was just a doll" said Madam Red.
Ciel growled a bit, but then notices the ring on her thumb, it was smaller than before, star-cut some might think, he takes off the ring and slips it on his left hand.
~*Wood and Clay will wash away, wash away, wash away.. Wood and Clay will wash away, my fair lady*~ Ciel, Grell, and Madam Red turned to see Drocell come out with a familiar puppet.
"LIZZIE!" went Ciel.
"This doll was a failure... So I thought to myself: I must make them much much stronger" he said as he turned to Lizzie, it was then Ciel noticed how spaced out she was, "Lizzie!" he called again, before she turned to him with a pleading stare.
"Ci...Ci...Cie...Ciel...He..hel...help...m...m...m ee" she went feeling her tears come down her eyes, Drocell lifted one arm and began to sing ~*Build it up with iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel, build it up with iron and steel, my fair lady*~ An army of Dolls began to march from behind Drocell making them a bit anxious.
"Cie-CIEL RUN!" Cried Lizzie.
She then breaks off the thread which bind her to Drocell and gave him a hard hit on his stomach and then turned to a nearby statue, giving it a powerful pull she breaks the iron spear off, piercing through one dolls head.
"Grell! Help Lizzie!" order Ciel.
Madam looked over her shoulder and ripped a staff off a hanging curtain, then violently shank the doll through her stomach and tossed it towards another, "Ciel we'll hold them off! Go find Ayase-san!" shouted Lizzie.
"Right!" went Ciel as he ran the way where the dolls had came, running up the tower steps he began to fear that if Lizzie had turned into a doll did the same thing happen to Ayase-san.
He then reaches to the end of the steps, ripping the door open he runs across the ballroom, "Ciel Phantomhive" went Drocell.
'But wasn't he in the entrance earlier?!' he thought staring at the man, "You are truly beautiful... I must make you into a worthy doll" said the man.
"Where is Ayase-san!" growled Ciel, but Drocell just ignores him and continues on, "Now what should I make you? Clay will wash away, yet iron is far too crude... Gems and Crystals are already taken... I say"
'Gems and Crystals? Don't tell me he-' "Where's Ayase-san!' he shouted.
"So I thought to myself: ~* Build it up with silver and gold, silver and gold, silver and gold, build it up with silver and gold my fair lady" sang Drocell, Ciel tried blocking the voices and the man as he ran through the next hall, he manage to reach a room where no voices, no dolls, and no Drocell can be head.
But on the ground stood a symbol... two symbols one similar to his own, made by those people, while the other showed a raven biting a rose, and the rose seems to be wound by some kind of blood or ink... around the symbol chant: Ravens prey on the pure and the pure shall suffer the greatest; once claimed by the raven, you can never be released ever again.
The chant send shivers down his spine as he stared at the two marks.
"Ah, such a beautiful saying...never thought someone so yonder could make such a saying" said Sebastian as he appeared on the window sill, "Sebastian!"
"Hm? I didn't see you there my lord... I suppose you already found Lady Elizabeth..." smirked Sebastian.
"Yes... Ayase-san is still missing-"
"Are you to find him...why?" asked Sebastian narrowing at the boy, Ciel frowned at him, "I promised him I wouldn't leave him... I can't leave him here to be in the hands of whoever it maybe, I have no intentions of leaving him...EVER!"
"Ah... So... You do love him don't you?" asked Sebastian is eyes glowing a bit.
"What!? I could-"
"Don't deny it Bocchan... you can't anymore... You promised him... You intend to protect him... he even made you smile, you should be studying your actions...Bocchan" he smirked once more, he could feel the anger ready to explode, he knew if he left Ciel in the dark he might have a chance with Ayase-san, but...
Ciel on the other hand felt angry, but at the same time everything Sebastian told him... was true, he had promised to Ayase-san that he'll be by his side... Ayase-san suffered a pain that was different, but similar in some ways, but he was always so cheerful and light that...
~*build it up with iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel, Build it up with iron and steel, My Fair lady*~ went Drocell's voice as an army of dolls approach the two "Was... Grell and Madam Red and Lizzie defeated?!" gasped Ciel as he backed away from the stomping their way to them.
"I see, so he is controlling them with his tone in that case..."
~*Iron and steel will bend and bow*~ went Sebastian as he earned a stare from ciel, ~*Bend and bow, Bend and Bow, Iron and steel will bend and bow, My fair lady*~ He snapped a doll's neck, still continuing the song, before all the Dolls fell flat on the ground.
Sebastian turned to Ciel and smiled, "let us depart, Bocchan"
"No, Ciel Phantomhive is my master's possession now" said Drocell, -"Possession?! I am not a-"
"the proof is the ring on your finger, I can That Hope Piece is a present my master... Lady Jade has one too" said Drocell, "Ayase-san! Where is he!" shouted Ciel.
"All in time Ciel Phantomhive, you'll find your little prince... he's safe... until My master orders me anything" said Drocell, "he's now nothing more than a doll, and soon.. you will join him Ciel Phantomhive"
"master?" went Sebastian.
"Ciel Phantomhive will be a doll, made out of silver and gold" said Drocell, Sebastian smirked at the man and sang: ~* Silver and gold taken away, taken away, taken away...*~
He then picks him up and jumps right out the window, Drocell walks to the center and falls to his knees, "he was stolen away... So I thought to myself: Ciel Phantomhive will return."
Outside the castle Sebastian finally placed his master down, "goodness me" he said as he turned to the castle, but was slapped in the face, "You should know better! Lizzie and Madam Red are still in there also Ayase-san is still under that damn man's care! I ordered you to solve this case! And if you really did cared for Ayase-san you would go back to save him!" shouted Ciel.
Sebastian remained quiet as though Ciel has just stick a knife through his stomach.
*HOWL!* Ciel and sebastian turned to heard a familiar howl from their hellhound, they began to run towards the sound to see Lizzie, Madam Red, and Grell trying to pull Pluto away from the Tower before them, "hey now what's a matter with Pluto!" asked Madam.
"This man acts like a dog" said Lizzie as she held the two yank Pluto away, "You four are still alive?" asked Ciel with a sigh of relief, Grell began to gush , "Sebas-Chan!" went Grell before he got stomped on by Pluto, Lizzie gave a questionable look as Pluto began to hug Sebastian.
Sebastian just looked irritated, as the hellhound began to lick his face, "Get a room you two... And I thought you like little boys Sebastian" joked Madam.
Sebastian gave her a irritated look, "Wait! He's a hellhound?" asked Grell.
"Hellhound?... A demon!?" Lizzie began to panicked, then soon she began to stare at Sebastian, "What does that make-"
"We'll explain later dear, but now's not the time, until further notice you must stay silent about everything you see or know after today okay?" asked Madam Red, Lizzie just nodded.
"I've been waiting for you Pluto" said Sebastian as he bagn to approached the tower "arf?" went Pluto as he began to stare at the Doors of the tower, "Once a seal of the underworld has been placed only a hellhound is capable to open it" said Sebastian as he took one more step, before Pluto's collar began to glow, along with the door.
Pluto morphed into his true form before entering the tower, "he did it again!" went Ciel as he ran after Pluto.
"It's alright, let him guide us" smiled Sebastian as they began to explore through the tower...
Mocha: Alrighty! I suppose this Arc is a bit longer, not sure... But I think the next part will be done very soon!
Ciel: Well at least I have admit it yet
Mocha: don't get too comfortable Ciel-kun your turn will be coming very very very soon *SMILES EVILLY*
