Ch.5

Ciel stood in the driveway outside, staring at the carriage tracks leading into the woods. He did not feel the cold wind ripping through his clothes. He did not feel the servants prodding and pulling him back to the manor. He did not hear their anguished and worried voices. He find not notice the absence of Sebastian. All that mattered was Lizzie.

Only when a warm blanket was thrown over him and Ciel was enveloped in a strong, rib cracking hug, did the trance break. Reality crashed around him like shattered glass from a broken window. It felt like he went through that window.

"He's gone mad, surely." whispered Bard.

"There is more to this than you know Baldroy. He is still our master and you must not speak ill of him."

"Finnian, don't crush him!" Mey-Rin warned. The hug slackened if only a bit.

"Where's Elizabeth? I need to find Elizabeth?" Ciel's voice was barely above a whisper.

"Master Ciel?" Tanaka kneeled in front of him.

"Bring back Elizabeth,"Ciel whispered again.

"Master Ciel, Elizabeth has gone home. She and Sebastian left around 10. We thought you knew. We didn't come to get you for the farewell because Sebastian said you were busy and should not be disturbed. Why are you dressed like that?" Tanaka had just registered Ciel's appearance.

"Never mind that!" Ciel squirmed out of the hug and blanket.

"Ciel, it's cold. You shouldn't be out here in this weather." Finnian resisted the urge to put the blanket back over him.

"I'm going after Lizzie. Bard and Finnian please get the horses ready."

Everyone just stared.

"You will do as I say. I am still the master of this house and I assure you. I am perfectly sane."

After a moments pause they all bowed and spoke in unison," Yes my lord."

"Tanaka, come help me get dressed. Everyone, we will be leaving in half an hour." With that, Ciel turned and strutted back to the manor with Tanaka and Mey-Rin in his wake. Little did they know, Elizabeth was never on her way home.
