Thanks for the reviews! but I really need more if you want me to continue and get to the undertaker.
Disclaimer: I only own Safiya
We all heard yelling that rang through out the whole mansion. As Sebastian sat Ciel down, Finny, Bard, Mey rin, and I looked to the door in time to see it burst open and a screaming grell was riding a cart full of dirty plates. He rolled straight in between us but Finny couldn't dodge in time.
The cart crashed making dishes fly as well as Grell and Finny. Finny landed on the floor only to have tea spilled on him. He jumped around trying to keep the hot tea on his tea shirt off him. I couldn't help but let out a small giggle. Grell tried to help him by using a napkin that was on the table but ended up grabbing the whole tablecloth causing all the food to slide to the side. By now I couldn't contain my laugh. I held my stomach as I laughed hard.
By the time I stopped laughing I looked to the table to see Ciel complaining while rubbing the bridge of his nose as if he had a headache.
"I though Sebastian would be the only one convenience I never thought that I'd be affected by it as well." he said.
"I'm so sorry for causing all this trouble." Grell said while the servant trio glared at him.
"I simply don't know how I can apologize enough. Wait that's it! I'll just die!" he cried out holding a knife to his neck. By now I was used to his 'suicide attempts' so I didn't try to stop him. He never really does it only seems to.
"Wait, calm down a second!" Bard cried out.
"Um should we take the knife away?" Mey Rin asked. By now I had enough so I put a hand on Grell's shoulder making him look up at me from his kneeling position on the ground.
"That's enough Grell before they really tell you to." I said smiling as he put the knife down and turned to me surprised.
"Yes but if you do really do it then please go outside. Just think of the horrible mess you would make." Sebastian put in his word. My eyes widened then I glared at him.
"Sebastian!" I cried angrily.
"Well, it would take hours to clean up all the blood I am simply stating a fact." he said.
"I don't care! I don't want you encouraging poor Grell like that." I said hugging Grell close not noticing Grell's starry eyes at me and Sebastian.
"Thank you so much for your kindness!" Grell said moving to stand back up.
"Of course Grell! Anything for my favorite butler." I said hugging him. He blushed.
"And here I was thinking that I was your favorite. Especially after last night." Sebastian said referring to when he helped me unpack last night and get comfortable even though he made it sound like we had...I blushed.
"Sebastian!" the servants cried.
"Nothing happened!" I yelled.
"Yet." Sebastian put in. I could tell he was trying not to laugh. I blushed harder.
"Ugh! I'm going to my room." I said before leaving to my room hiding my blushing face and bleeding nose in my bangs not noticing the drops of blood I left behind.
When I later went downstairs I was told Ciel and Sebastian went into town for errands.
"What? Why didn't they bring me?" I asked well more like whined.
"They didn't wanna bother ya." Bard replied. I sighed.
"Where is Grell?" I asked putting a finger to my lips and looking back and forth.
"He went outside to do some gardening." Bard replied. I made an 'o' shape with my mouth.
"Alright then would you like to join him outside and have a picnic?" I asked smiling and walking to the kitchen. I knew where everything was because I spent a lot of my childhood here.
"Sure why not?" Bard said following me. So we went to the kitchen and made tea, sandwiches, and grabbed some leftover cookies from the cupboard. I didn't want Bard cooking since he tended to blow things up. I put the food in a basket and grabbed a picnic blanket from a drawer before we headed outside.
I set it up and noticed Grell cutting the bushes while humming.
"How about you take a break Grell?" I asked kindly. He turned surprised I was outside then smiled.
"Sure!" he exclaimed climbing down from his ladder and sitting with Finny, Bard, Tanaka, Mey Rin and I on the blanket. .
After we finished Bard cleaned up for me then went back inside. I laid down on the blanket and listened to the breeze blow through the trees that Grell was cutting. Grell then sighed randomly.
"The Funtom company, maker of toys has grown rapidly in the last three years and this estate testifies to the company's prosperity." Grell said. "The manner is magnificent don't you think?" he asked. I opened the eye that wasn't covered by hair and looked at him as he gazed at the manor and continued to trim the tree.
"Ya know it's only been around for about two years now." Bard said as he sat down beside me and lounged.
"Odd, but it looks so stately and dignified." he said.
"Of course it does. That was the intention." an elderly voice said catching all of our attention.
"Look! It's the real Tanaka." Finny said happily from where he and Mey were tending to the bushes and weeds.
"We haven't seen him in months!" Mey commented.
"This manor was built to be an exact replica of the previous one. It is identical in every single detail from the window panes to the stairways and even the cracks in the pillars." he informed Grell and the others.
"Identical?" Grell asked confused. I looked down sadly as I remembered when I heard the news that the estate had burned down taking my Aunt and Uncle with it.
"The original burned down three years ago." I said softly while sitting up and looking up at it remembering the picture in the paper of the burning estate and how no one could stop it from burning.
"The entire estate was engulfed in flames. It was a horrible tragedy." Tanaka added.
"Oh I see. Forgive me for asking but Ciel's parents, did they...?" he trailed off.
"Yes. Sadly they both perished in the fire." Tanaka said. By now I couldn't stop the tears and I ran inside wiping my tears away with my arm vaguely hearing Mey say, "Poor thing. They were her family too."
I ran up to my room and collapsed on the bed and cried my eyes out. That was the saddest day of my life. The original estate held all my happy memories of childhood and the only family I had only to be burned down and take away my beloved Aunt and Uncle. At least I still have Ciel.
I then heard screams from downstair and quickly ran to see what was wrong only to find that Lizzy was visiting. The whole manor was in what she thought to be adorable. The source of the screams were the servant crying for Sebastian who had just came back with Ciel.
"What on earth is going on here? And why are you all dressed like lunatics?" Sebastian asked angrily as they clung to his feet crying.
"She's crazy!" Bard cried pointing to the dining room door.
"Who is crazy?" Ciel asked.
Then we heard choking sounds and looked to the door. I gasped noticing a person missing.
"Oh no! Grell!" I cried worriedly and ran to the door only to be stopped by Sebastian and Ciel who went in first followed by the servants and me. We looked in to see Grell hung by his neck to the ceiling with yellow bows on him.
"What the hell are you doing now?" Ciel asked angrily.
"At the moment I believe I'm in the process of dying master Ciel." he replied in a choked whisper. I put a hand to my mouth and ran to help him but couldn't reach.
"Get him down Sebastian." Ciel ordered.
"Yes master." he replied as he pulled the rope and Grell came down on Sebastian and I with a plop. Sebastian remained unharmed but Grell had landed on top of me.
"Ciel!" and excited voice cried out. I saw Lizzy rush passed us and hug Ciel nearly knocking him over.
"Ciel you're back! I missed you so much!" she cried out as she hugged him. I laughed at them after Sebastian helped get a blushing Grell of me.
"E-Elizabeth what a surprise!" he cried out.
"How many time do I have to tell you? Call me Lizzy!" she said before hugging him again and raving on how much she missed him and how cute he was.
"Good day Elizabeth." Sebastian said bringing an almost unconscious chibi Grell over with me behind him.
"Hi Lizzy!" I said waving with a closed eye smile.
"Oh hello Sebastian." she said curtseying before she ran and hugged me. "Oh I missed you too Fiya!" she shouted. When she pulled away she saw chibi Grell in Sebastian's hand
"Aw you took him down?" she said looking at Grell then Sebastian disappointed.
"Yes, he detracted the beauty of the room." he said with a closed eye smile.
"But I made such a lovely decoration out of him." she said.
"A decoration?" Sebastian asked confused.
"Yes! Just look at all this!" she said with her hands extended to the decorations in the room as it sparkled.
"Isn't this salon so cute now." she said excitedly.
"Ugh my mansion it's so pink." Ciel said with distaste.
"From now on only the cutest of things belong in the Phantomhive manor." Lizzy said happily.
"Don't you agree Antoinette?" Lizzy asked Tanaka who now had a blonde curled wig with a pink bow-tie.
"Oh-oh-oh." he replied as usual.
"Oh poor Tanaka." I whispered to Sebastian who nodded agreeing.
"Oh I have a present for you too!" Lizzy said turning to Sebastian. Sebastian turned to her excited. She quickly slipped on a flowery pink bonnet on him. the servant trio and I did our best to contain our laughter.
Sebastian glared harshly at them and they straightened right up but I burst out laughing at their reacting not hearing the next thing said.
"You sneaked away! Don't you think you'll get into trouble?" I heard Ciel say when I was done laughing. Then Sebastian explained to the others that Lizzy was Ciel's fiancé.
"Ooo I know! Now that the manor is decorated so prettily, why don't we have a ball tonight?" Lizzy suggested. I gasped excitedly.
"Oh my gosh yes! I love balls." I said as I watched Lizzy try to convince Ciel to have one. I heard Sebastian snort then try to hide his laughter along with Grell and Bard. I then blushed. "Not those kind!" I yelled blushing. Then Lizzy dragged Grell off to make him more pretty.
"Wait for me! I want to help." I cried out following them. We ran up to my room and Elizabeth went through my wardrobe to pick out a dress for Grell. For Grell she picked out the only white one I had. For me She picked out a simple Red ball gown similar to hers only it was floor-length and instead of long sleeved it was off the shoulder with white lace.
We soon joined the others in the ball room while we waited for Ciel.
I brushed through Grell's brown hair with my fingers before braiding it. I then put a white bow at the end. I smiled and set my chin on his shoulder as he looked into the mirror.
"How...Awful! This is the most humiliating out fit ever!" he said. I chuckled.
"Tell me about it. That was a gift from my mother. She wanted to see me in white, but I insisted on being like her and wearing red. So I think you're going to make peace with it." I chuckled again.
"But this dress is atrocious, white, girly, and frilly. I doubt your mother picked it out. If I have to dress up then why couldn't it be in the sexy shade of red with a waist line that would flatter my figure." he cried out falling to his knees.
"That's your problem!" Bard and I cried out in surprise.
"I can't live with such a shame as this. No! I'd rather die!" he cried out putting a foot onto the window and preparing to jump but stopped. We all just stood there watching already used to these fake attempts. Grell looked back at us.
Uh, you aren't going to try to stop me this time?" he asked innocently while turning and putting a thumb up to his mouth. The trio sweat dropped while I chuckled.
"I told you they eventually would want you to." I joked.
Lizzy talked to Mey Rin over by the mirror about the dashing clothes she had gotten Ciel.
"It's not that we just knew he wouldn't do it." Bard defended.
"Sure you did." I said sarcastically. Then we noticed Mey Rin run away from Lizzy as she tried to take off her glasses.
"I'm really far sighted! I can't see anything without my glasses milady!" Mey Rin protested. Lizzy walked back over to her and tried again.
"You don't have to see the ball to have fun. Now hand those over silly." she said attempting to get the glasses.
"Just leave her alone!" Ciel's voice said stopping Lizzy in her tracks. We looked to the top of the stairs where Ciel was standing in a dashing Blue outfit and cane. Sebastian was next to him holding the cane.
"Ciel! You look adorable!" Lizzy cried excitedly before running and hugging him then spinning him around. Then she froze right in the middle and looked at his hand.
"Ciel, why aren't you wearing the ring I bought you? It matches you clothing perfectly now where did it go?" she asked angrily. Ciel pulled away
"The ring I already have on works fine." he replied. Lizzy began a fit she's used to getting her way.
"No! I went through so much trouble. That ring doesn't look cute at all." she cried out then collapsed kneeling on the ground. "Why won't you wear the ring that I picked out for you! you're so cruel. I just wanted everything to be perfect for..." She ranted on and on and Ciel tried to stop her rants.
"That's not it! This ring is-" Ciel began but Lizzy interrupted him.
"Hah! Fooled you!" she said jumping at him and grabbing the ring from his finger. My eyes widened.
"It's mine now!"
"Lizzy!" Ciel said sternly.
"This one is much too big for you. The one I bought will fit you perfectly, just put it on and-"
"Give it back!" Ciel shouted angrily interrupting her. We all stared shocked.
"Give me that ring. Now Elizabeth." Ciel said sternly while holding a hand out. Lizzy got tears in her eyes. I walked over and pulled her close in comfort.
"Why are you so angry at me? I just, wanted..." She began but Ciel's harsh glare silenced her. "What's wrong? I just wanted to make everything look adorable that's all. So why are you so angry at me. I hate this ring!" she cried out pulling away from me.
"Take it!" she shouted before throwing it on the floor causing it to break. Ciel's eyes widened before growled and ran at her and raised a hand to hit her. I quickly ran in front of her but Ciel was too angry to stop. He wanted to take his rage out on something. I brace fore impact but Sebastian quickly grabbed a hold of his hand stopping him. Ciel looked up surprised.
"Master. You forgot the walking stick we went through all through all the trouble to get." Sebastian said putting the cane into his hand as Ciel panted. I checked on Lizzy to see she was shaking. I walked over her and pulled her into a hug. She hugged me back for safety and comfort while she cried. Sebastian walked over to us.
"Forgive my master Lady Elizabeth, but that ring is very precious to him. It's a family heirloom passed down to the head of phantomhive family for generations. He's grown quite attached to it, it's truly one of a kind." he said bowing slightly with a hand over his heart. "Please try to understand why this upset him." he said as Lizzy took her head from my chest to look at him.
"It was that important and I destroyed it?" she stated more than asked. Ciel picked up the ring and looked at it.
"Ciel, please I'm sorry!" she exclaimed as he walked over to the open window. He then through the broken ring shocking us all. Lizzy ran over to the window.
"Ciel wait! What are you doing?" she cried out looking where the ring was thrown.
"It doesn't matter, it was nothing but an old ring after all." he said looking back at her before walking foward a couple steps and standing tall and proud.
"Even without it, I'm still the head of Phantomhive family. And that won't change." he said. I smiled softly feeling the tense atmosphere begin to ebb away. Lizzy had began to cry into her hands as Ciel walked over to her.
"How long are you going to cry?" he asked annoyed.
"I'm so sorry." she said softly while sniffling.
"Your face is a mess, and completely unsuitable for a lady." he said after putting a blue side hat on and then wiped her face. "How could I possibly ask a lady with a runny nose and puffy eyes to dance?" he asked smiling. My smile widened.
"To dance?" she asked. I noticed Sebastian had gotten a violin and began to play beautifully causing us to look at him in amazement.
"He incredible." Mey Rin said. I nodded in agreement.
"He plays the violin. Is there anything he can't do?" Finny asked.
"Ah! I'll join him." Grell said running over and begin to sing. I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"Well what do you know? He can actually sing." I said smiling. I then walked over and joined his singing causing him to pause in amazement at my angelic voice before smiling and continuing. Ciel then asked Lizzy to dance she happily accepted.
Pretty soon Grell and I began dancing for fun as well as Finny and Tanaka. Then Mey Rin forced a blushing Bard to join in.
By the end of the night I had gone to my room and grabbed Lizzy and I's things while Grell put a sleeping Lizzy in a carriage. It was time to return home at the hospital.
Grell put our things on top of the carriage. I hugged everyone goodbye. When I got to Sebastian he held me a little longer than the others.
"Visit again soon." he whispered in my ear. His breath made me shudder but luckily he was the only one who noticed. He chuckled before releasing me. I smiled.
"I will." I replied blushing. Then Grell helped me into the carriage. I sat across from a sleeping Lizzy while Grell said his goodbyes. After a minute I felt the carriage move and began our journey back to Lizzy's estate then home.
After five minutes I started to dose off before I finally laid down on the seat and fell asleep to the slight rocking of the carriage.
R&R loves. Thanks for the reviews. I hope you liked this chapter.
