One month later…
Ciel's pov
I was awoken by Sebastian as usual, although, he seemed to have a worried look on his face.
"Sebastian?"
" Yes, my lord?"
" Are you all right? You seem a bit worried."
" Well, you see…,"
"Sebastian? What happened?"
" Lady Jacqueline has appeared to run off in the middle of the night.
Anyways, for breakfast this morning, you will be having a light earl grey tea, along with an egg tart. Is there anything else you will require this morning sire?"
" Yes. I would like for you to bring the carriage around in exactly 30 minutes… we will be looking for Jacqueline. Ill also need you to call Elizabeth and tell her that our plans are canceled because of last night's events."
" Very well, my lord. In addition, what shall I do with the three buffoons for the day? Assuming that your venture will require the whole day, of course."
" Give them the day off, but be sure to let them know to feed Pluto at his regular feeding times and to be sure to tie him up OUTSIDE. He is not to be let inside the mansion."
" Yes. My lord."
In addition, with that he left. I hurriedly got ready, ate my tart, and drank my tea. I was soon ready to leave. I climbed down the stairs, and met Sebastian at the carriage.
"Where to first, my lord?"
" We will start searching the town from the outer skirts of the kingdom. We will then go inwards, and if we have not found her by then, we will immediately put in a missing persons report, and put posters up all over the center of town. Is that understood?"
" Yes, my lord."
" Good. Now let's go."
I wonder where that girl has gone….
Sebastian's pov
Ciel seemed a bit off that morning. He was very out of character. It was not surprising that he wanted Pluto tied up outside, although it was very strange that he wanted to get ready by himself. He also seemed very concerned for the young woman. I wonder what we will tell Grell… that we lost his daughter? No, he was very protective of her…. What WILL we tell him!?
Jackie's pov
I was exhausted. I had been running since two in the morning. Why was I running you might ask? Because I had to get away from him. Which him u may ask, Sebastian or Ciel? Both. Sebastian did not seem natural; in fact, he rather scares me even though Ciel seems to trust him with his life. In addition, for Ciel, well, he did not exactly seem very natural either, and honestly, I could not be around him anymore. He made me feel different than I had ever felt before. I felt like a new person when I was around him, a trusting, safe, and thoughtful person. I knew what this feeling was, but… I was not going to get hurt again! (Btw, read the author's note below! Super important!) I knew I needed to stop. In fact, my vision was getting hazy, and black was creeping its way into my eyesight. I stared to feel my legs give out beneath me, when I saw a very familiar looking black carriage come into view. I also saw a very alarmed and worried looking Ciel pop his head out of the window. I tried to turn, but in the process, collapsed on the concrete ground.
"Jacqueline!"
The last thing I saw was Ciel running towards me, and Sebastian parking the carriage. Then, it all went black.
(I will tell you people what happened later in the story when they confess their love, or rather, a certain supernatural will. The first person to guess and get it right gets a virtual pocky! So, is the Demon? The Redheaded Bisexual? On the other hand, is it the Famous Reaper? Hehehe… try to guess and you will be rewarded!)
