A/N: Um... Next week is our exams in our school so I'll be busy reviewing all my notes and lessons and it'll take some time management to complete the next chapter since my schedule is a bit cramped up until next week...! But don't worry, my dear Readers! After examinations is our resting days~ meaning, I can publish again! My apologies for the inconvenience... *bows*
What happened in the last chapter:
"Am I true, isn't it, Ms. Reporter?" He insanely asked.
I am really messing with the wrong person! Will I ever see the sunlight from tomorrow's sun in this situation?!
And so it begins…
Your POV
I heard a faint chuckle from the Earl as he knelt down to my level. His face came closer and closer to mine. I tried to avert my eyes but he shall force to focus our faces, eye to eye.
"Since you have seen my secret, I simply cannot let you go." He smirked again. I gulped in fear. He has a chance to sue and put me in prison that will fire me from my job! This tremendously a chaos I've done...!
"Wh-what are you sa-saying…?" He suddenly pinned me to the wall with his single hand. Our breaths mixed with each other and our eyes were focused at each other.
I saw a smirk on his face but with the wine I drank made me droopy.
"You..."
My eyes lids were falling. I was getting sleepy. But I mustn't sleep yet!
"-ay..."
No... I am getting sleepier and sleepier as I opened my eyes one last time.
"Me."
What I last heard from him.
~~~~The Next Day~~~~
"-up..." I heard a voice from somewhere. Where was I...?
"_! Wake up!" I awaken from my sleep and sat properly on my chair. I looked at my surroundings and saw I was at the London Times.
"Ah, good that you have already awoken!" [FR/N] said as [she/he] gave me some documents. Was that all a dream...?
"Hey [FR/N], did something happened last night?" I asked [him/her]. [FR/N] shook [his/her] head.
"None at all. Why do you ask, _?" [She/he] looked at me with a questionable look.
"Nothing. I was just curious." I slightly smiled. Thank goodness that was all a dream!
"Then quickly finish that up and continue your task!" [FR/N] shouted as [he/she] went away with other documents.
'Task...? Then-'
"My lady_. It is quite the pleasure to see that you are alright." A whisper said to my ear. I shivered how close the person to my ear was. I gulped and swiftly turn the chair just to see the butler.
"Y-you...! What a-are you doing here, butler?!" Everyone was staring at both of us. It wasn't a dream after all?! I wanted to forget everything! He just tilted his head in question.
I can't believe it… I felt my head gone dizzy and fell and everything went black.
~~~~Minutes later~~~~
"Urghh..." I groaned as I woke up in a carriage. I felt my head gone dizzy and everything was swirling. I was also sweating from the heat. I wonder what happened...? Where is reality…?
"Finally, the old lady has awoken." A young voice spoke.
Maybe not a dream anymore... I sat up from the cushion and saw the Earl and the butler looking at me.
"What on earth is happening?! Why am I here?!" I was absolutely confused on what is happening. Where does this two mongrels plan on bringing me?!
"Don't you remember what happened last night?" The Earl eyed me carefully as if it was piercing me. I shook my giving the boy a sign that I've forgotten it. The butler only smirked at me
"Let us go. You shall see it anyways." The Earl chuckled and the carriage went on.
"H-hey! Where are we even going?!" What about my tasks for today?!" I wasn't finished with the documents [FR/N] gave me and it'll be a perfect chance for me to escape the carriage!
"Worry not, Milady. I have finished your entire task for today." Sebastian bowed his head to me. He finished it all?! How did he do that?!
"You finished everything?! How?! Why?! That is impossible! It can take a half day to finish reporting and publishing!" I kept on asking. It was truly impossible!
"Because I am the Phantomhive butler. It was nothing but a chore." He smiled at me. I felt my face heated that moment…! Then I felt a glare from the Earl. He had an ominous aura around him. I just averted my eyes away from him. The scenery was an open field with some greenery, some plantations and few houses. It was peaceful and… A perfect place to escape from this boy!
I glanced at the two and they were talking with each other. While they are distracted, I can quickly jump off and hide immediately to that old abandoned house! I finished off my plan and I swung the door and jumped off the carriage. I tumbled and rolled down the hills and started to run away.
Ciel's POV
The carriage stopped after that mongrel lady jumped off! I went to look out but she already started running away.
"Sebastian! Quickly chase after her! We simply cannot let her expose it!" I ordered him.
"Yes, My lord." Sebastian jumped and head out to chase _. I sighed and went out the carriage to chase her. She knows two of my secrets! It will ruin the Phantomhive and the Funtom Co. if she dares to spill it out!
"Quickly Sebastian! Do not ever let her escape!" I shouted again. He bowed and ran even more quickly than his normal speed. Now, I must catch up to trap that girl!
Your POV
I panted and panted as I was getting tired from running away. But as I soon I looked back, I saw Sebastian running inhumane speed! It was as if he was a predator and I was his prey! Why are they even chasing a mere human like me?! What did I do for me, as a reporter, to be chased like this?!
"My lady _, please do stop for you are already tiring yourself from all this running." Sebastian even charmingly said as he was running into my side.
"How do you know my name?! Were you following me before the anniversary party?!" I asked whilst trying to run faster. This dress I am wearing makes it even harder!
"Everything shall be answered as soon as we arrive at the manor milady." He simply replied and was able to stop me.
"So for your questions to be answered please stop from running and come with us." He calmly said.
"Never! I will not come with a bratty idiotic noble and his butler who are trying to kidnap me!" I tried to run back but the Earl was there, panting.
Ciel's POV
"We've…*pant* Got you…*pant* you git…!*pant*" It was so tiring to run that fast…! But… Here I am! Alive and panting hard…
"If…*pant* you dare to runaway *pant* again, we'll make sure you'll never see the living daylights tomorrow!" I shouted at her. She made face and looked at me fiercely instead of frightened.
"Over my dead body!" She shouted and ran into an opposite direction away from me and Sebastian.
"Sebastian! Go get her!" That git kept on trying to run away! How much time will we be doing this?!
"Certainly, young master." Sebastian simply bowed and ran inhumanely. Is _ suspecting the speed of Sebastian? She is a reporter after all. We shall be in quite danger when she exposes all of it!
Your POV
Why are they even chasing me?! I did not expect this to be happening at all! I thought everything shall be normal after I went home, but no! I am now being chased by two predators!
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped in front of me. It was Sebastian, the butler?! How did he jump from that height?!
"Lady _. I advise for you to stop all this nonsense and come with us. We shall explain everything at the manor." He came closer and closer to me. I tried to back away but he took hold of me and carried me.
"Put me down you nincompoop! I say put me down!" I slap, kicked and flailed my fists around but he didn't bother as if it was nothing to him.
"Oh dear, Lady _ you are such a persistent lady…" He sighed. I twisted and turned my body but he carried me tighter.
"Why, if isn't Sebas-chan! Why are you even being harsh to the lady don't you agree, Phipps?" A voice of a young man spoke out.
"Yes, I do much agree." A low voice of a man spoke out then.
Sebastian turned around with me and saw completely two white people. White eyes, white lashes, noble white clothes and white hair.
But I suddenly remembered. "You two must be… Double Charles! The two butlers of Her Majesty, the Queen!" I surprisingly pointed at them.
The shorter one was Earl Charles Grey and the taller one was Charles Phipps. I then heard Earl Grey chuckled as he went closer to me.
"A pleasure to meet such a young beautiful lady as you are." He took hold of my hand and kissed it. I felt my face heated up from the touch of his soft lips. Earl Phipps nodded and bowed upon me.
Earl Grey noticed Sebastian had a grim look on his face. He smirked at his reaction and prepared to let out his sword.
"Well, since the lady met you two, it is time for us to leave. Good day." Sebastian turned and was about to leave. I glanced at the two and saw they nodded at each other.
Is there something going to happen?
