Okay so Elizabeth was way harder than I thought but not As hard as Ciel. Can you guys guess how I made Ciel's wrath? It was quite difficult at first but now I realized that his wrath was always beside him no matter what… That was your hint… you'll have to figure out what or who I mean. (Laugh Evilly) Anyway, I don't want to keep you guys waiting any longer so here it is…
Deadly Sin
Elizabeth
Ciel walked up the steps of the Phantomhive manner when suddenly the front door burst open and a pink ball, with lightening speed that would put Sebastian to shame, flew to the top step and tackled the poor startled Earl. A quaint scene of de ja vu spiraled through the young Earls head as he was swung around in circles. When the world stopped spinning and the nauseated feeling left, The earl looked down to see Elizabeth, sporting a frilly pink dress.
"Elizabeth, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you, silly."
"Have you ever thought that maybe you should drop a line before barging into my estate?"
"Every time I want to see my fiancé? Don't be ridiculous."
Ciel Sighed. He could feel a headache coming on. Sebastian, who had been forgotten at the top of the steps, cleared his throat. Immediately he had the young ones attention.
"Young Master, your schedule is full today, please do not dally.
"I am aware," Ciel said and pried himself off of Elizabeth, who had latched herself onto his right arm.
"Elizabeth, I am rather busy today. Could you possibly come back…"
Elizabeth teared up instantly.
"You… You want me to leave?"
Again, Ciel sighed.
"Elizabeth I can't entertain you today. I have guests already arriving. You may stay whereas you have to seek entertainment from the Servants and I will be with you later, or you could come back tomorrow where you will have my undivided attention."Elizabeth seemed to think.
"I'll stay and wait. Sebastian is good company after all, and I'll get the chance to see you later."
"No you misunderstand. Sebastian has to be in the room for my meeting. This involves him in a way as the head butler of the Phantomhive manner."
"Can't I be in there with you Ciel? I am your fiancé after all."
Ciel frowned and looked to Sebastian for help in this endeavor. Sebastian thought swiftly and replied with…
"I'm sorry Lady Elizabeth, this conference is important for the Funtom Company. I am sure that if you are there you will distract the young master from his work. It is important that he finished this today before it get too out of hand."
Elizabeth was disappointed but she went along with it well, but she couldn't help but ask…
"Why do you have to be there Sebastian if it important? Wont you distract him too?"
Sebastian gave a devilish smirk but recovered quickly adding…
"This meeting sort of involves me as my Young Master has said, Lady Elizabeth. We do not mean to be rude but it is of utmost importance that you not be in the room for this meeting. Do you understand?"
Elizabeth gave a sad nod and headed to the door. Sebastian, being a butler first, went and opened the door for her when he was that she was heading out. As soon as Elizabeth stepped out she saw Paula with her arms full and sweat racing down her face at the heavy load.
"Lady Elizabeth…?"
"Ciel is busy today, Paula. Lets go back home.
Paula noted her Lady's sadden expression and decided not to make a snide comment on all the packages Elizabeth forced her to carry at once.
The next day, Elizabeth came early with the promise of having Ciel's full attention, but that didn't last long as it seemed that the young earl was irritated. He kept giving hostel glances at Sebastian. Apparently the earl was mad at his butler for some apparent reason. When Sebastian left to prepare lunch, Elizabeth decided to confront Ciel about it.
"Ciel, did you and Sebastian have a fight?"
Ciel chocked his eyebrow and stared at Elizabeth.
"Why do you ask, Elizabeth?"
"Well, I noticed that you keep glaring at him like you wish for nothing more than his head on a silver platter and you haven't spoken a word to him since I arrived.
Ciel looked shocked that she had noticed and blushed because he was discovered.
"I don't want to talk about it," Ciel hissed when he composed himself.
"Ciel, I thought I would have your undivided attention today?"
"… and you do, Eliza…"
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Lizzy?"
"… Uh…"
"Besides," Elizabeth interrupted, "How can I have your full attention when you think about whatever bad thing Sebastian has done to you."
Ciel sighed.
"I'm sorry Elizabeth. I have been rather distracted today, haven't I? Would you like to go for a walk around the garden?"
Elizabeth brightened instantly jumping up and latching herself onto Ciel's left arm and dragging him to the garden.
Sebastian watched, amused, as the young couple strolled around the garden. He could tell that his young mater was thinking about other matters… Like that kiss he be stole upon him before Elizabeth arrived.
It was around 8:30 and the day was winding down for Elizabeth. Her parents had told her to be home by nine but she would make up some excuse about being late. Elizabeth excused herself a moment ago to use the bathroom and got the shock of her life when she came back. Ciel and Sebastian were locked in what seemed like a passionate kiss. Elizabeth mad a sound that sounded like an anguished squeal and the two broke apart like they were burnt. Elizabeth had tears in her eyes and jealously was clearly written on her face. Suddenly a burst of anger surged through her and she stepped forward.
"Eliza…"
SLAP, sounded around the drawing room and seemed to echo around the walls. Ciel, anger in his eyes, held his cheek but made no way of apologizing, instead he turned a murderous glare at the slightly amuse butler, who was smirking triumphantly.
"I understand that was necessary Elizabeth, but I mean really," Ciel declared nonchalantly.
"Have you been stringing me along all this time, Ciel?"
Ciel didn't comment.
"You have, haven't you? And you were probably laughing behind my back, too. W-why didn't you just tell me?"
"Elizabeth…"
"No it's too late. Good day, Lord Phantomhive."
Elizabeth turned and took off, encoring Ciel's pleas for her to come back. She stopped around the wall where she could still hear them but couldn't be seen by them. She was shocked when a SLAP resounded around the room followed by Ciel's Angered voice of…
"YOU HAD NO RIGHT, SEBASTIAN!"
Elizabeth turned pail at those words and regretted what she did but she could squash the burning jealously in the pit of her stomach. She was going to get revenge on Sebastian for taking the one person most precious to her. With that thought in mind, Elizabeth took leave of the house of Phantomhive and returned home plotting her revenge.
A month later, Elizabeth found herself in front of the Tracy manner. She had gotten some information from the town undertaker, ironic that that is what people also called him, that the Tracy kid could help him. She walked right up to the door and knocked. Almost instantly, the door was swung open to reveal a butler dressed in black and who look almost similar to Sebastian except for the glasses that sat upon his face. Elizabeth vowed instantly not to trust or like him.
"May I help you," His voice drawled out.
"I am Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Middleford. I was told that you could help me with a problem."
"Oh, and what problem might that be?"
"Well you see…"
"Claude, who is that at the door?"
"A guest, your highness. She seems to have a problem and seeks the help of the Tracy household."
"Well don't just leave her there, invite her in."
"Yes, your highness," The man known as Claude stepped aside allowing Elizabeth to enter.
When Elizabeth laid eyes on the person Claude had been calling, your highness, she gasped. A kid?
"I am Lord Tracy. How can I help you this fine evening."
"L-Lord Tracy?"
"Yes, is that a problem?"
"N-No not at all."
"What brings you to my estate?"
"I wanted to ask something of you… a job if you will."
"And that might be?"
"Well , you see I…"
Elizabeth trailed off. What was she going to tell them. That she was engaged to the earl of Phantomhive and found out a month ago that she was being strung along because he was gay. Because the person he choose to be with was his butler..
"Are you alright?"
"Yes Lord Tracy…"
"Alios… Please…"
"Alios, well you see I have this problem with the Phantomhive butler. He has taken something very precious to me from me and I want him destroyed for it. Do you think you can do it?"
Alios looked to Claude and Claude looked back… both surprised by the Lady's request.
"Phantomhive you say…?"
"Yes. Can you do it."
"When you say destroyed you mean…"
"Killed, I want no traces of him to exist anywhere."
Claude smirked and Alios gave an amused chuckle.
"This task wont be easy, how much are you willing to pay?"
"Whatever it takes. Money is not an option."
With that in mind Elizabeth, Claude, and Alios proceeded to the conference room and talked business.
Elizabeth had her game plan. She didn't even have to reveal her reason for revenge upon Sebastian. It turns out that the Tracy household a problem with Sebastian as well. Sebastian seemed to have something both Claude and Alios wanted. Only hours later, Elizabeth found herself at her house debating on the events the next days would bring.
The next day Elizabeth found herself in the garden, at the picnic table, at the Phantomhive manner. She has come to falsely apologize to Ciel for hitting him, though that isn't exactly how it went. Instead of apologizing, she found herself glaring enviously at Ciel and Sebastian as they walked around the backyard. It didn't matter though for Sebastian would soon be out of the way. Alios and Claude would be arriving any minute as planned and then things would heat up. For now Elizabeth would just have to grin and bear it.
The time came for Alios to arrive and Elizabeth was suddenly nervous. She knew what she had to do., but was it really worth it? She would soon find out…
Just on time, there was a loud crash coming from inside the manner, followed by a series of gunshots. Elizabeth cried out with a start, truly frightened. Gunshots was not part of the deal. She looked angry until Sebastian approached her and ushered her to where Ciel was safely hidden in the trap door of the garden. He told her to stay hidden with Ciel and Under no circumstances was she or Ciel co come out. She looked to Ciel and looked slightly frightened the look the earl gave her as if he knew what her plans were… or rather blamed her for this event. She couldn't help but think that she was being too paranoid. What seemed like seconds later the trap door that lead to the hidden tunnel in the garden was viciously ripped open, causing the door to come off its hinders and Sebastian swooped in and grabbed Elizabeth and Ciel, escaping moments before the hole underground tunnel blew up and caved in.
"What is going on Sebastian, " Ciel screeched.
"It seems that Claude and Alios are up to there old antics."
"Explain."
"Claude seems to want to brag that they were hired to kill me. He wont tell me who hired him."
"…and the tunnel."
"Someone gave him schematics on the manner, all its hidden doors and trapped secrets."
"Only a select few know of those secrets. Who do we know that wants you dead and if in league enough to know all of the secrets of the manner?"
"I don't know, Young Master, but I feel as though you should take Lady Elizabeth and escape this place for now. It seems that they are not after you at least at the moment they aren't. Go somewhere save so that I may resolve this without endangering your life."
Ciel seemed to think it over for a moment before looking at Elizabeth, who seemed frightened.
"Alright Sebastian. I will take Elizabeth and flee but be careful. Claude and Alios has gave us great problems before, due to be careful."
"Such a kind master to worry about a mere servant."
"TSK," was Sebastian's answer.
When Sebastian thought it was safe enough to put Ciel and Elizabeth down he did so and watched for about a moment as they ram in the direction of exiting the manner, but he never got the chance to see if they made it through because he was suddenly knocked sideways and he lost sight of the pair. Ciel held onto Elizabeth's hand as they ran but were cut off as Alios approached holding a rifle.
"Come Elizabeth lets get Sebastian's attention. Shall we."
Elizabeth paled but walked to Alios' side. She was trembling as Alios wrapped his arm around her. She glared at him. This wasn't part of there deal either. She looked at Ciel, fit on pretending to have been forced into going over to Alios but the expression on Ciel's face sent shivers of fear and regret across her face.
"Why Elizabeth? Why are you trying to kill Sebastian?"
"As if you don't know."
"Is it the incident that happened yesterday?"
Elizabeth stayed silent and Ciel took it as a conformation. He glared at Elizabeth with hatred and anger.
"What is your plan then."
"I-….."
A loud blast erupted from the mansion. Alios, Elizabeth, and Ciel all turned to the source of the sound and Ciel was nearly knocked to the floor when he turned his back. Alios flipped him over and pressed the rifle to Ciel head. Elizabeth screamed causing a chain reaction. Sebastian heard the scream and came rushing to Ciel. His body blamed into Alios' with such a force that Alios slammed flew across the courtyard. Claude looked stunned but silently pleased when Alios' body made a shattering sound as it connected with the concrete. Sebastian picked Ciel up and moved to do the same to Elizabeth but Ciel cut him off with an angered…
"Leave her…"
Confusion showed slightly on Sebastian's face but thought nothing of is as he saw the jealousy on Elizabeth's face. Claude immediately took chase and Ciel could see him but he was to far away to inflict damage. Sebastian thought it safe to put Ciel down. He hated to admit that he was tired and frustrated with the situation. He didn't notice when Claude got to close and was pushed away by Ciel. A loud RIP sound followed by a pain filled moan caught Sebastian's ears and he regained his composure. Something inside him snapped when he saw Ciel. Sebastian rose to his feet and in a blur of black, Sebastian had Claude pinned. He glared daggers at Claude and looked up to see Alios running to his master's fallen body, Elizabeth close behind. He took off at a skyrocket pace and the force of his body hitting Alios for the second time today send the boy to the ground unconscious. Elizabeth stared with horror in her eyes. It wasn't worth it. None of this was worth it. Her face fell when she noticed Sebastian kneel beside the nearly unconscious Ciel. He leaned down close and captured Ciel's lips in his own. The wound in Ciel's chest began to close but Elizabeth didn't notice and she found herself griping the knife that was hidden in her petty coats. Blindly she ran toward Sebastian and slid the knife easily through his shoulder blade. Sebastian grunted but didn't break the kiss. Instead he seemed to shove Elizabeth away rather roughly. Jealously and hatred clouded Elizabeth's judgment and she plunged the knife that had mysteriously flown with her straight into Ciel's forehead, resounding that if she couldn't have him so one could. When she saw the look of death appear on Sebastian's face, his eyes flaring to glowing red as he stared to girl down. Elizabeth screamed as Sebastian advanced on her…
Elizabeth woke up screaming. She would never do such a thing. She had to see if Ciel was alright. She proceeded to get dressed and she raced out of her house.
Elizabeth found herself, an hour later, in the garden of the Phantomhive manner. She stared at Ciel and Sebastian anger and jealousy plain on her face. They had all been at the table when Elizabeth brought up the dream to Ciel. They had a little argument that seemed to come out of nowhere and Ciel got mad and dismissed her, calling on Sebastian for his leave. Now Elizabeth watched as Sebastian tried to get Ciel to change his mind and apologize to Elizabeth. Elizabeth took it the wrong way and decided that it was time to see the Tracy's. She moved to get up but a flash of red hair caught her eye. She turned to see a man with a deadly efficient smile on his face and swore she saw him before. She seemed to think a moment then his name came shooting to her mind…
