Hi guys! I'm sorry for the last chapter I deleted it and I only just realized that the real chapter I typed didn't post, ,I want to thank you so much for everything you guys do, and that includes reviewing. I don't remember if I did the disclaimer last chapter or not, so here's for both this one and the last. I don't own anything! I hope you all had a good father's day, but we went to the beach and I'm white….I got really sunburned….I think I know where I'm going with this chapter, but to be honest, I only have half a plotline. It's totally unfair, and I was in a training all the morning so I didn't even get a chance to get any real brainstorming in.

Catherine's POV

It was around a week later, and all was normal and rather tranquil if it may be said, all through the house. But, then again, I really shouldn't have said anything, because for some reason or the next, God really enjoys proving me wrong. The moment the thought passed through my mind the door downstairs slammed open.

"Ciel!" I heard the high pitched squeal all the way from my room on the second story. Lady Elizabeth. Damn it all! I was hoping to sleep in today, but now that she was here I am almost certain that she'd use me as her personal dress up doll. Sebastian walked into my room, seconds later.

"Young mistress you need to get up." Rather than waiting for me to just get up on my own, he propped me up on the bed, and set out my day clothes while I took off my nightgown.

"Sebastian?" I asked my voice still fogged with sleep.

"Hmm?" he asked buttoning up my itchy collar to the highest it could go.

"Why does Lady Elizabeth always have to destroy the little peace this house has?" he cracked a smile looking at me with his tired eyes.

"Well, now maybe it's a good thing we don't have peace very often. The more peace we have, the more often she'd come over." We both laughed. "But really dear, you should at least try to be nice her. She is you sister in law after all." He remarked fixing my stockings.

"Why do I have to wear stockings Sebastian?" I scratched my leg. "They're itchy." He just laughed and told me not to dilly dally and head down stairs immediately, taking special care to tell me I would be in big trouble if I got my Sabbath day dress dirty, I rolled my eyes and promised him nothing would happe to my pure white dress. When I walked down the staircase, I saw Elizabeth and Ciel looking like they were in a heated discussion. Ciel remained as calm as ever, big surprise, and Lizzie seemed to be arguing with him. She was just the way I remembered her, curly pigtails a big bonnet, and some bright frilly dress. Though eaves dropping were a terrible habit of mine, it happened to be something that I was very good at. I hid behind a pillar to hear the rest of their conversation.

"No. Absolutely not."

"But why!" came the whine from Lady Elizabeth.

"Because I said so." Ciel retorted smartly. Smart move Ciel, good work.

"That's not a good enough answer for me. Why can't I?" she asked again.

They were walking now and arguing. "Because, my sister doesn't belong to you, and I don't want you to dress her up." he said rationally. Thank you Ciel my point exactly.

"Oh Ciel! Why are you so mean to me?" she started bawling. I rolled my eyes just listening to her.

"Don't cry Lizzie! Please stop crying." My brother pleaded, I had a feeling that it was more because she was annoying, than because he hated to see her cry. But you never knew. At first I didn't think that Ciel liked me either, it was hard to tell with him, because he kept his emotions quiet inside him. "Maybe you can spend the day with Cat okay? Would that make you better." She sniffled.

"Um hmm." DAMMIT! Ciel I was so close to freedom! Why! I fell with the shock and clattered to the floor.

"What was that?" he asked. I heard his shoes coming this way. I closed my eyes and lied in futile position, or what most people called the armadillo. He picked me up by the back of my collar.

"I'm so sorry Ciel-" I stopped short, because when I opened my eyes, it wasn't Ciel, it was Sebastian.

"What in the world were you doing?" Ciel asked me with his hand on his hips glaring at me.

"Well I was eavesdropping sir. I'm sorry." I had never called Ciel sir before but I knew that this instance definitely called for it. Lizzie looked on curiously as if I was an exhibit at the zoological gardens to gawk at. I offered her a weak smile. "Good morning lady Elizabeth." Her face blushed red as she knew that I knew she was staring. (If that made any sense.)

"Master Ciel, do go to breakfast the two of us will be here in a minute." As soon as they were out of sight he bent down to my level. "Catherine, you know that eavesdropping is wrong and childish." I nodded. "Then why did you do it?"

"I don't know Sebastian, it's just they were talking about me, and I kind of wanted to listen in."

"Then why didn't you just ask them what they're talking about." I shrugged my shoulders. He sighed. "Well as long you know it's wrong it's fine, besides we have bigger problems to worry about don't you think?" he asked jerking his thumb in the general direction of Lizzie,

I giggled girlishly and nodded. I walked into the dining room laughing with Sebastian. I stopped laughing when I noticed Lizzie and Ciel staring at me. I looked down and walked quietly to my seat. I sat down said a silent payer and began to eat with my brother and (shudders) sister-in-law. It was as silent as a tomb. It hasn't been this awkward since I had found out that I had to dine alone with my brother. Thank god Lizzie didn't live with us. Half-way through the meal, Ciel wiped his mouth with a napkin and turned to address me.

"Cat." He said seriously.

"Yes brother?" I responded innocently. Maybe it would make him change his mind about me having to spend the day with Lady Elizabeth. It didn't work.

"Today, you are to spend the day as companion to Elizabeth, her usual companion is out sick, not to mention that she's been complaining about not having enough time to spend with you." I gave him a look that said "Do I have to?" he nodded dooming me to hell for all eternity. Okay, maybe it was just a day, but still, it might as well be an eternity if I was stuck with Lady Elizabeth. She popped out of her seat grabbed my hands and started jumping up and down. She paused and looked at me, cocking her head to the side.

"Why aren't you jumping?" she asked looking genuinely curious. I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Sorry Lizzie, my leg's just a little sore this morning." I lied.

"Oh you poor dear." She said pulling me into a hug. I took the opportunity to point to her squeezing the living daylights out of me. 'Be nice' Ciel mouthed. "Come on let's go!" she yelled in my ear dragging me out the front door past Sebastian who was carrying a tray of dessert.

"Have fun!" Ciel yelled loudly and non-convincingly.

"Be safe! And don't be late for dinner at 5!" Sebastian yelled after him. Assholes, both of them. One of Lizzie's servants opened the door to the carriage and Lizzie jumped in patting the seat next to her for me to sit in. Carefully, I sat down, careful not to ruin my white dress, that Sebastian had instructed me very sharply not to get dirty. It was Sunday after all. The moment we drove out of the curricle Lizzie's mouth as going, per usual. She was saying something about the new dress that her Papa had got her, but to be honest I didn't catch anything else. I stared out of the window vacantly trying to drown out the endless noise coming from her mouth.

"Cathy?" she asked looking at me her eyes wide. Of course she would call me Cathy instead of the name that everyone else called me. Last time she just called me Kitty, which was rather awkward. Ciel used to call me Kitty Cat when I was very little, but he was my brother so that was okay.

"Yes Lady Elizabeth?" I asked. I was bored out of my mind, that's how I totally identified Ciel's tone as bored. It's exactly how I sounded when I was bored, but I was just a bit more…high pitched.

"Oh we're here!' Lizzie squealed. Pointing to the magnificent white building as we passed it turning into their driveway. The butler opened the door and only widened his eyes a bit when Lizzie pulled me out and ran up the steps to her house. She ran at her top speed, dragging me along behind her. He just rushed past all of her servants, (there were certainly more than at our house). Then suddenly she ran smack into someone. She recovered quickly, I however, did not. She moved out of the way and I smashed right into him as well, but unfortunately I, still dizzy from being tossed around like a rag doll, crumpled to the floor when I hit the wall of meat covered by skin. I looked up to see a much taller much handsomer male version of Lizzie. My cheeks burning in embarrassment I popped up immediately dusted myself off the best I could and looked at the floor apologizing profusely.

"Oh my goodness sir! I'm so sorry! I hope you aren't hurt!" the man version of Lizzie held me at an arm's length.

"Well Ciel," he said hotly, "I don't think I've ever heard you apologize for anything let alone freak out when you bump into someone. And you finally admitted to yourself that you're a girl. Good for you." he mock applauded me his voice dripping in sarcasm.

"I'm sorry sir, I really didn't see you there." I looked down. The man touched my chin and made me look into his eyes, and then dropped it backing away a couple of steps.

"You're not Ciel!" he exclaimed. "I'm sorry it's just you look so like him I thought…" he looked very distressed. "I'm so sorry." He reached an arm out to help me up.

"Don't worry sir, its fine. No harm, see?" I said smiling and gesturing to myself. I wasn't hurt, but there was a tear in the dress that Sebastian had said not to ruin. I kind of botched THAT instruction. I held out my hand for a shake. "I'm Catherine." He took it surprised that a little girl like me would go for a handshake rather than a little curtsy or something.

"I'm Edward, Elizabeth's older brother." He smiled. "It is uncanny how much you look like that Ciel Phantomhive, but I suppose I should have known. You are a lot shorter than he is and you're a girl." He gave me a sheepish look. I laughed a little bit.

"That would make sense, I am his little sister." His mouth opened, but then closed as seeing he was in the presence of a supposed 'lady.'

"But, you're so sweet, and he's so monotone and rude." I doubt that he'd think that if he found out that I was able to kill, just about as easily as I could break a toothpick. It was time to show him Ciel's true colors, the same way I did with Mr. Frederick of the Scotland Yard.

"My brother isn't as he seems. He's like a pineapple." I said, remembering the appearance of the tropical fruit. "He's all hard and ugly and spinney on the outside, but he's sweet and squishy on the inside."

"Cat!" I heard Lizzie call. "What's taking you so long? I'm already in my room!" I pointed down the hall.

"My lady awaits." And walked off. Ok I ran off, not wanting to upset Lizzie. "I'm coming Lady Elizabeth!" I walked into her room, trying to catch my breath. And then I died of pink overexposure.

Okay not really, but I almost died. She spun in a circle in the middle of her room. "Don't you LOVE it!" she squeed. I looked around taking in my surroundings and along with it all the different shades of pink.

"What would you like to do?" I asked her not wanting to answer her previous question. I don't think she would appreciate it if I told her the colors made me want to yurk.

"Why don't I dress you up?" God, kill me.

Around an hour and a half later I snapped. I couldn't take it anymore, I was going to be violently ill.

"I think we should do something else." I suggested respectfully to her, praying she would agree with me.

"What should we do though? Oh I know! We could girl talk and do needle point!" Oh hell to the no.

"Um no, I think I could show you something though." I wanted to get out of the house. And since Sebastian wasn't with us, I could probably get away with dressing like a boy to roam the streets.

"Like what? Papa has showed me everything! He said that he wanted me to have the best entertainment." I'm sure he did, but she had never seen anything like it before. The street. If she didn't run away screaming "Oh the horror, THE HORROR!" this could prove a very useful learning experience for her.

"I'll show you when we get there, it's where I used to live before Ciel." She nodded, but I don't think she knew that when I told her I used to live on the streets of London, I used to live on the streets of London. I smiled anyways.

"Perfect." The only problem I could really foresee was trying to get around her parents. Elizabeth walked down the hall in front of me, I walked behind, my head down devising my evil plan. We would get in carriage, and I would instruct them to drop us off in- I head-butted straight into someone. What was with me today? I looked up to apologize, when i saw a tall bearded man. Namely Mr. Middleford. Well shit.

"Excuse me Mr. Middleford" the man cut me off.

"Is it appropriate for servants to address their masters that way?" he thought I was- I needed to fix this right away.

"No sir, I'm-" he cut me off again.

"I thought not, now tell me, why are we still talking?" he was starting to remind me of a certain rich bastard who had gotten his ass royally kicked by my dear Finny last week.

"I'll tell you why." I snapped, and then lowered my voice a bit, "Excuse me sir, but I am the Earl of Phantomhive's sister." His mouth opened into a little oh. "I was wondering if your daughter and I go possibly go out?" the man straightened out of the shock of finding out that his servant was his son in law's sister.

"And why would she want to do that?" he asked.

"Because she claims she is bored and would like to go shopping." I said, hoping that god turned off his ears to hear my little white lie.

"Fine, but you better take care of her." Pssh it wasn't my job, but I told him I would anyways.

"We're clear Elizabeth." I said after the stern man had disappeared down the hallway. I instructed the young carriage driver to drop us off at the woods. When he saw us coming he looked a little pissed off, but when I whispered the instructions in his ear letting my cockney tongue slip. He tipped the hat to me and opened the door for me to get in.

"How'd you do that? He's never liked my family. " Lizzie asked amazed.

"I just told him that I was one of his kind." Lizzie made a confused face. Eh, she'll figure it out someday…I hope. After a while drive we finally got to our spot in the woods.

"Thank ya' mate." I said as I hopped out of the carriage.

"Good to help." Then he tipped the hat flicked the whip and was gone.

"Where are we going?" she asked trying to tug one of her pigtails out of a tree branch. "It's dark and scary here!' she whimpered. I rolled my eyes.

"We just need to go a little bit farther." I told her finding my way through the familiar path. Finally I came upon my little training center in the woods. Mey-rin didn't train without me and no one else knew where it was, so I knew that we'd be safe.

I opened the chest where I kept my fighting gear, a couple of pennies and my old street clothes. I was lucky enough to have been able to save them when Sebastian planned on throwing them out.

I changed behind a bale of hay, coming out wearing the dirty boys clothes I had come to this mansion in. Lucky for me, I had an extra peasant's dress for Lady Elizabeth to wear, she just didn't seem the cross dressing type. Not that I WAS but you get what I mean. I pulled out the plain dress, and tossed it to her. She looked at it as if it had grown three heads.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" she asked.

"Put it on." I told her obviously. After a little struggle, we were finally ready to head out to London. The smells of the street hit me when we got there. It was a huge modepodge o everything that I had ever known, seen, or smelled during the first seven years of my life. Lizzie gawked at all the people rushing around trying to trade, or get to the boxing match going on in Covent garden.

"This doesn't look like London to me." She whimpered.

I grinned broadly, "It's not your London, this is where I lived." Finally taking the reins or that day, I pulled her toward the butchers shop. I walked in bringing the sound of a jingling bell, and the sounds of the street with us. Immediately one of the boys came to tell us that the butcher's son was getting ready for the match, but then he saw my face and broke out into a grin.

"Cat! Haven't seen you 'round here in ages! Hey who's the lass you brought with you?" he pointed to Lizzie who had been hiding behind my back.

"This is…" I had to think of something fast. "This is Sydney. She's new, around the garden so I decided to show 'er around." My natural cockney slipped back out again. "I wanted her to see the match." This was true. I doubted that Lady Elizabeth had ever seen two men bloody each other up for fun.

"Well, I'm sure Danny's gonna give you a hug or somethink of the like when he see's ya out there." I nodded and walked out waving bye behind me.

"Who was that?" she whispered. We had only just gotten into the city and she was scared already?

"Oh 'im? That's Meat-Pie Matt, Danny's brother." Meat-pie was really nice, and he planned on working the shop when he was older, rather than Danny who dreamed of bigger better things. I continued to explain. "He's a butcher." Then I continued to show her around, in between the shops, where to get your best bargain for food, the bakers who's bread I used to steal every once in a while for the orphans, and she and I actually started to talk and bond, me telling her about the scrapes I used to get into. And I told about the brutal gang fights that we were known for. She talked about how amazed she was, and how different it was. I nodded. Lady Elizabeth stilled annoyed the hell out of me, but hey, what can you do? We watched the boxing match, Daniel winning of course, and to my greatest surprise Lady Elizabeth got very very into the match. I think I might have been a little scared. She was very excited and liberated even after the match had ended. She talked to me about it while we snacked on two toffee apples that I had bought us.

"Cat! That was amazing! I had never seen something like that before." She was bubbly and happy, about something that was actually interesting for once.

"I used to go see 'em when I was a nipper." I said my mouth full of sticky toffee.

"Well it's just brilliant!" she and continued to talk about it skipping down the now darkening street. The sun was beginning to set so we were going to have to hurry home soon. The street was deserted, and I suddenly felt like there was somebody following us. I quickened my pace, telling Lizzie with my eyes to do the same. Of course though the airhead, asked me why I was quickening my pace. I tried not to yell at her. It would be better if the people who were stalking us didn't know I knew that they were there.

"Sebastian will yell at me if I'm not home for dinner." I said making up an excuse on the spot. Sebastian probably wouldn't yell, he never does, but it was likely I wouldn't be able to sit comfortably for the rest of the night. She nodded. I knew that whoever was watching us was still there, and now he was gaining speed as well. It wasn't just one of them either, there was a group of about 4 or 5 men. Getting closer and closing in on us. Oh fuck trying to be discreet. I leaned over and whispered seriously in her ear. "Elizabeth… you need to run." I saw one of them going around the corner to catch up with us.

"RUN!" I screamed. Both of us took off faster than a lightning bolt. But I'm sure they had anticipated our move because there were three of them at the end of the street we were turning down through. A big rough looking bald man in an eyepatch caught me by my arm and pinned it around my back. I screamed and yelled at him. "Let me go you bastards! What the fuck do you want from me anyways?" Lizzie made a little gasping sound, even if she was being captured, somehow she had the time to notice I was uncouth or foul-mouthed.

"What do we want from you?" the man asked darkly. His teeth were stained yellow from tobacco juice and he smelled highly of liquor. "We've been after you and your brother since the day you both disappeared. Of course I wasn't after you personally, but my boss said that he looked to noticeable to come after you himself.

"Look. I could cooperate with you, if you promise to let the other girl go." I can't believe that I just put my life in danger to help Lady Elizabeth, but in my heart I knew that it was the right thing to do. Not to mention that she was the only one who knew where I was, maybe she would have enough sense to go get help. The man eyed me to see if I was bluffing. "I promise I will cooperate, this girl has no benefit to you, just let her go." My blue eyes flashed darkly. One of the other lackeys elbowed my captor. He had the classic goon voice.

"Maybe it's a good idea boss." He said dumbly. The man holding me grumbled.

"Fine. Let the blond one go." Lady Elizabeth's captor dropped her and she ran off quickly. Please go and get help, I pleaded in my mind.

General POV at the Phantomhive household.

Sebastian clicked his pocket watch opened and sighed. The girl was late for dinner. That certain little miss was going to be in a lot of trouble when she got home. Suddenly the door slammed open. Everyone's head in the manor snapped up. Sebastian and Ciel had been waiting in the front room for the arrival for the little girl. Upon hearing the noise the three Phantomhive servants came running as they has also been anxiously awaiting the arrival of their little mistress, Finny getting more nervous by the second. Surprisingly enough instead of the short, black haired nine year old, they saw the 12 year old Earl's fiancé. She was breathing heavily and the butler quickly ushered her into the house telling her to take a seat but she refused.

"Cat's been captured, by three goons, and some men wearing matching white masks." She then promptly passed out, and the real Tanaka appeared assuring that he would take care of the green eyed woman while they went and looked for Cat. For the moment however they stood in a stunned silence. Ciel broke it.

"I knew it." He said shaking his head. "I knew I shouldn't have let her go." Sebastian looked at him seriously.

"We have to go after her, but I don't want you in the front, it's a possibility that they'll use her for bait." Sebastian said as calmly as possible, but you could see in the dark demon's eyes something they had never seen in him before. Fear. Outrage, yes anger, yes, but never had they seen fear in his red eyes. After a quick round of who's coming to save Cat that resulted in the entire house going out to find her, they realized that Lizzie had forgotten one very important little detail. Where they were hiding Cat. In the true spirit of a search party however they were already about a mile away from home on a dusty road the sun setting behind the trees. Out of the blue they saw a dusty figure crouched down on the path. It began to talk.

"If you want to find her you're going to need my help." She said straightening out. As the dust began to clear, she and Sebastian saw straight into the other's blood red demon eyes.

"I'm Clara."
