Chapter Nine

Uh-Oh Part 1

There was just one thing wrong with trying to sneak into the Queen's Palace. They had to pick whose place they were going to take and watch them for a few days. They were going to have to take their place to get close to the others to try and find out what had happened when Phantomhive had stayed here. Thoughts of a cheating husband and other things like that came to their minds but they weren't too sure about that.

They had picked out a butler and a maid; they turned out to be brother and sister with blond hair and blue eyes. They seemed to not be the head of the employees, but they were the ones that the other went to to keep the anger of the Heads concealed and under control. Though they were siblings, they didn't reside in the same room, but they both knew that the other could handle themselves for a few days until they got what they needed to.

They had already knocked the two employees out and hid them down in the dark prison. They're going to be seen as fools crying for help and until Vincent and Aurora left then they would stay there. They would think it was all a horrible dream until they're back in the castle.

Aurora cursed the thought that she wouldn't be allowed to watch their cries for help. Pulling at the collar of the black and white maid's outfit that she had to wear, she frowned as Vincent stood beside her, shrugging into the butler jacket. She glanced over her shoulder.

"You actually look better in that then in the chef suit, Vincent." She bit her tongue as it slipped out. Why had she decided to say that? It just slipped out of her mouth before she could even think about it.

Vincent gave her a surprised look before turning his face back to its normal, small smile. "I thank you; though I would much rather see you in your regular attire."

Aurora grinned. "You are not alone on that subject, I assure you." Giving the collar a final pull, she ran her hands through her hair. Vincent watched as it changed from black to the blonde that the young made had as her eyes changed from red to blue. Vincent followed suit, all with that smile on his face.

"You're going to be able to do this, aren't you?" He asked.

"Of course. I was without you for nearly three hundred years, was I not?" Aurora replied. "I believe I'll be able to withstand a few more days on my own." The man beside her turned without a response and left the room. She turned and watched the door shut. "Was it something that I said?" She asked herself.

Turning back to the two unconscious figures at her feet, she waved a hand over them and they disappeared. They would now be at the very bottom cell of the prison, waiting for Aurora and Vincent to be done with their task. Closing the door behind her, she pulled at the collar yet again, giving herself a mental note not to ever wear this type of outfit again.

The first few days, nothing went wrong. Aurora got used being called Victoria and did the tasks that the other woman normally did. She didn't like being ordered around every minute of every day but that wasn't what was on the top of her head. She hadn't seen Vincent since he had left the room in silence. At first she thought that it was just because the castle was large, but she soon realized that it was for another reason. Avoidance.

What had she done to make him want to avoid her?

And it seemed that she wasn't the only one. The other maids and butlers were asking why her 'brother' was avoiding her as well. She told them that it was just a little fight that the two of them had a few days ago and that was all she said. They believed her, but there was still uneasiness in the room when her 'brother' was brought up.

But Aurora finally had enough of it. She had to find out if Vincent had found out anything about the trip Phantomhive had taken. She hadn't and so she needed to know if he had found anything; anything at all.

"Victoria!" Aurora looked up at the call and glanced over her shoulder. The Head Butler was standing in the door way of the kitchen. "The Queen has summoned you.

"The Queen?" She was surprised.

"Yes and your brother has been summoned as well. Hurry."

~Well, would you look at that~ Aurora grinned as she set her tea tray down. ~Luck is on my side, it seems. He can't avoid me this time.~

"Where does she want us?"

"The throne room."

She gave a nod and took off quickly. She received some greetings and things through the halls but she ignored them as she made her way to the Queen's throne room.

"Well, look who finally decided to join us."

Aurora took one look at the man who had talked and smiled as she moved to stand beside him. "Forgive me, brother. I was in the middle of something when I heard that I was summoned."

There were two others on Vincent's other side; another brother and sister is seemed, with brown hair and eyes. The woman was in a lacy, white and yellow dress while the man was in, like many of the other men that could be seen in this world, a black suit and top hat.

But Aurora's eyes were on the woman that sat in the chair before the large fire. She remembered this woman from those years ago when her husband's soul was given to her. Time did not age her well. Dressed in the red and gold nightgown that she was going to wear to bed, the Queen's graying hair was combed back and her grey eyes held a hint of sadness as she sat in the room that she and Albert once shared.

"Now that Victoria is here," the Queen began. "I'm sure that you two remember Emily and Aaron from your last little…even with the Phantomhives."

Vincent and Aurora glanced at the brother and sister beside them with a smile. "Of course." They said together. Both were glad that they were a hell of a pair of liars.

"Good. Then I need the four of you to go to the Phantomhives House this weekend. He and his men are having a party and I need a set of insiders with them. You two will act like Aaron and Emily's servants, though you might have to change your appearance so Phantomhive won't recognize you." The Queen told them.

"Yes, your Highness," Both of them gave a bow.

"Good," The woman, Emily, turned to leave the room. I shall be in my normal room. I'll expect my tea and dessert in an hour."

Aurora hid a frown as the woman left the room., By the look she had given Vincent, it wasn't cake that the woman was expecting. And for some reason, Aurora didn't like that.

"It is a pleasure to see you again, Victoria." Aurora turned back to see Aaron giving her a bow.

"The pleasure is all mine," She gave a curtsy back.

"Perhaps you would like to join me in the library later night? You still enjoy reading, don't you?"

"Of course." She gave him a nod.

"Peter," The man turned to Vincent and shook his hand. "It's been a while. I apologize for Emily. With her age, she's grown feisty. But then again, you've always liked them like that, have you not?"

"Of course," Vincent smirked. "Wouldn't want them any other way. That takes the fun out of everything else."

Later that night, as Aurora sat by the fire with Aaron, reading in the library, she couldn't help but let her mind constantly drift off to what exactly Vincent and that woman were doing. It was plain and simple that sex was the answer, but why? Why was she letting it effect her so?

She and Vincent had used sex to get the answers they wanted from who they needed it from before, sometimes together, even, but the very thought of that woman touching him made Aurora's skin crawl.

But why was that?

It had never effected her this way before. Sex was just something to pass the time to her but now, as she sat there reading about something she wasn't paying attention to, she felt herself longing to be the one upstairs in that room, feeling Vincent rake his hands down her body and kissing her everywhere he wanted to and more things after that.(Cannot say anymore due to youngsters and the fact that I'm sure my pleasures would creep you all out, XDXD j/j)

~Feelings~ She silently snorted. She was just hungry. Hungry and bored. Yes, that had to be it. There was no other reason for her to be feeling this way and so, it must have been a sign that it was time to excuse herself to her room.

Saying good night to the young man beside her, Aurora quickly made her way off into the room she held.

But then, as she settled in for the night/s rest, she found her mind wander back to what was happening in the room above her. Oh yes, she had checked the room that Vincent and Emily would be in and she had half a mind to go up there and rip that woman to pieces but she stopped herself with the same question that she was popping on herself all night.

Why?

I know, a little short, but that's because I split the chapter into two. Sorry I took so long, but the next chapter will be up soon, I promise!

Please Review! I like to know what you all think :)
