Well hasn't it been awhile? Goodness, this had a little trouble and tweaking here and there, spare time spare time then voila!
"Hey [FR/N] have you already published today's news? About that writer who died in the accident?" [FR/N] looked at his/her editor; nodded.
"Poor man.. He was just about to publish about Death and a woman in love... I thought it was an extraordinary novel though. Seems too late for that." [FR/N] just averted his/her eyes away. "Yeah..." He/she then heard footsteps coming their way.
"[FR/N], the chief wishes you to be in his office." She/he was confused about the purple-haired woman but followed it anyways. [FR/N] wondered what the chief wants. He/she knocked on the door; followed by a voice to come in.
"Uh sir, you re...quested me...?" The office was only dark and seemed to be cold. He/she entered and awaited for the chief.
"[FR/N]," A voice whispered behind him/her. [FR/N] quickly glance just to see the chief. "Sir! Wh-what seems to be troubling you as you called me...?" Truth to be told, the chief was a bit frightening yet as he stood by little light from the window, he was gorgeous.
"I heard you went to the...Phantomhive Manor for _. I suppose you wanted to see her once again?" [FR/N] nodded nervously. The chief chuckled devilishly as stroked his gloved fingers along to [FR/N] shoulder blade. "But I presume you failed doing so." He/she nodded again as the chief held [FR/N] by the chin.
"Ch-chief...?" He observed [FR/N] and snickered. "Tell me, [FR/N] have you told anyone about _? You know how I worry about my workers." He/she was frightened and confused. But the chief gripped his/her cheeks painfully.
"I-I told her [sibling] about it...! [S/N]'s will be coming to the Phantomhive Manor...!" The chief chuckled insanely and let loose his grip.
"Perfect. This shall be perfect...!" Still chuckling, he eyed [FR/N] crazily. "[FR/N] I want you to watch every movements going on the manor!" He/she stood furiously from the task. "What?! B-b-but chief-" Suddenly he/she was held and a knife was placed by his/her neck by three unknown people. "Are you disobeying your chief, [FR/N]?" He/she shook his/her head.
"I presume we have no violent objections about this. You shall keep an eye on them and I will take action helping you get _ back." [FR/N] was taken away by the three and left without a choice but to follow. A child went out from the dark corner of the office; smirking.
"Worried about _? Seems to be more willing to kill the Phantomhives." The child only devilishly chuckled just as the chief bowed to him.
"As you wished, Young Master Alois." Alois reached his hand out just as the chief only kissed it.
"Precisely, Claude."
Ciel's POV
I found myself standing and staring at a door; coloured of blue and red. I was frightened of what will be the other side same as the other one. All of a sudden, I felt cold hands of pale skin with black fingernails wrap around me.
"What's the matter, Ciel? Too scared to open a door?" I glanced at the darkness in front of me not doing anything.
"Don't give me that look Ciel~! Keep that rotten face off." I decided to be silent but kept on observing onto nothing. I heard IT sigh and IT opened the door with a sway of IT's hand. IT pushed me once again to the door. I could hear the clock ticking and the window is in night. The desk had several papers thrown here and there with a Sterling Silver in a glass vase. Only the candle lit the room. IT motioned me come over. I peeked whoever was in the bed, sleeping.
"Look Ciel! Look at her!" I removed half of the blanket revealing the meddling buffoon...! She was sleeping in ease in her night gown. "Ahhh, look at her sleeping form.. Isn't she something?" My brows furrowed as my hands clutched tight.
"What is this? What do you want from me?! And why is this buffoon here?! Is this some kind of a joke?!" IT just chuckled and swoon over to the old lady.
"Still in denial Ciel? Isn't she what your heart desiring?" I scoffed and looked away.
"Heart desiring? Tch, don't you kid with me!" A hand held me by my chin and focused on the awake buffoon.
"Isn't what this you wanted? This 'meddling' reporter girl that is infatuated for you and your crude attitude?" I was feeling my heart pounding, my sweat dripping cold. Her arms made its way to my neck pulling me to the bed.
"Enough with this joke you are making and snap out of it! I do not desire you and your-" Suddenly her face were inches away from mine. I...I gulped from the closeness as she looked at me with her [E/C]...! What j-joke is this!? Little by little, h-h-her l-lips w-w-were-
"Young Master, it is time to wake up."
I quickly opened my eyes from that dream just to see Sebastian making tea. "Quite a dream, was it Young Master?" He handed me the tea, Earl Grey today. After drinking tea, he clothed me with the usual.
"Any news about that Puppeteer incident?" Eyeing Sebastian, he simply tied the laces of my shoes. "I have received a latter about it, Young Master." I stood from the bed as he finished the laces.
"It couldn't have possibly been Undertaker or Aleister Chamber.." I shuddered just remembering that perverted insane man... I do not wish to dress up! Especially when that buffoon is presently snooping!
We both walked to have breakfast; as usual with the buffoon. But strange is that she wasn't in her seat waiting for me to arrive. I was feeling tingling at my bottom. I suppose I need to flush it all out... I made my way to the bathroom. "Prepare the meal. I shall just go to the bathroom. " Glancing at him, he nodded.
"Certainly, Young Master. You and Lady _ have the usual." He soon left me and proceeded ahead. She still seems in denial in accepting that room though.
That dream I had... It was all too real for a dream...heart desiring? Tch, that is ridiculous! Ah, finally I found the bathroom! I couldn't care less as I swung it open but all of a sudden...
"YAAAAAHH! WH-WHAT ON EARTH EARL?!" The buffoon was taking a bath?! She quickly covered her body with a cloth that was nearby. I quickly closed the door shakenly...! I felt my knees weaken and fell onto the floor...Did I see it?! No, no, no! I should be relieved not seeing a thing! I'm heating up again and I feel my face in intense heat...! Blood all of a sudden dripped.
"Young Master!" Mey-Rin, Finny, Snake and Bard were running towards me. "What has happened Young Master?! We heard Lady _ scream!" Mey-Rin suddenly tripped and fell.
"Smile, you have... Says Keats." Snake was pointing his nose. Finny and Bard noticed the blood dripping on the floor. "Y-young Master you're bleeding!" I felt my nose and it was indeed bleeding.
Bard chuckled out of the blue. "We should have told you and Mr. Sebastian that Lady _ took a bath that is why she wasn't at the table waiting." He laughed. "You must've opened the door and saw her bathing!" He proceeded to laugh followed along with the others...
After the incident, the table was silent. I was still embarrassed with the bathroom scene. Each bite I took, I kept on rewinding it in my memory. I peeked over at the buffoon across the table. She was furiously eating her meal; not caring about her manners.
"...Make sure to knock next time," We both glanced at the same time. "Perverted Earl." She lastly said before resuming to her meal.
"Shut up, muttonhead!" I sighed and finished my meal. I didn't bothered and proceeded to the study once again.
I tried to accompany myself with a game of chess to forget everything, but except that Puppeteer.. Two leading suspects would be either Undertaker or Aleister Chamber. But Undertaker is nowhere to be seen. Even that funeral parlor he used to own is still currently closed. That leaves the conclusion for...Aleister Chamber for the revival. He did revive those Bizarre Dolls with the help of Undertaker. It is better to investigate thoroughly.
Your POV
I re-read all those letters from the compartment and realized him.. He must be here somewhere...! If these letters were contained even after that, it must mean he must be alive! Yet there could be a possibility that he has really died in that... I just hoped for the good...
"…Just…What is the truth…?" I glanced at the window and noticed someone standing by the top of the tree grey hair and black...clothing... I quickly went to the window to have a closer look. Sharp yellow green eyes stared at me but quickly disappeared just as the wind blew.
"This manor...holds too many secrets.." I suddenly heard the doors opening; it was Sebastian holding a...luggage?
"Lady _, time to pack up." He had a curved smile on his face as I wondered and not moving.
"...Pardon?" Out of the blue, that brat came out of nowhere behind Sebastian's back. "We're going for a trip to London." WHAT?!
The horses quickly ran from the rocky road making the carriage jump up and down. I am stuck again with these two wankers...! Why fate must be cruel to me...? I only looked at the window to not notice them. I hate this day...! Crying mentally, I leaned back in depression.
"Why must I go together with...?" I mumbled out but it seems that they heard it and glanced at me.
"Idiot buffoon, do even know what could possibly happened after your [FR/N] came to take you and I hate what you will do to my servants as like the last time!" I gritted my teeth hearing the brat's response! I only HELPED them nothing even bad happened to them!
"Anyways, you'll put those reporting skills into good use today." My eyes glanced at the smirking Earl. My reporting skills? What does he mean by 'putting it to good use?' This is why I despise him and his butler! He might be planning his evil deeds once again...!
"You'll only serve as an informant for now since the previous one was a bit...insane." I scoffed and averted my head away from them. "How unfortunate.. I'll pay you handsomely though." That took my attention and once again glanced at them.
"In exchange for?" Sebastian took out a bag of gold and elegant jewelries. "Do you desire riches; power or loyalty?" He smirked. But I took advantage of the situation.
"Freedom. Give me back my freedom." I stated out just as they stared at me in a disinterested manner. Dammit! "For now, if you successfully done it, we'll discuss the matters." Sighing as I looked at them both once again. Are they planning a trick on me?
"Alright then. London Times and my home are in London. I presume I would be discovered by [FR/N] or someone else if I were to be caught." He chuckled all of a sudden.
"Is that your problem? What an easy one. I have already a surprise for you at the townhouse after we arrive." Huh...He does plans things ahead of time. I have no other choice but to follow it. Surely, I could discover more in London.
We first stop somewhere but a townhouse. The earl did said he has a surprise for me here...Are we staying here while we're at London? The door suddenly swung open and a man quickly came running to the brat and hugged him tight.
"Cieeeeeeeell~~! You finally visited meeeeee~~~!" Somehow the brat kept pushing the man's face away from him. "Let go you git!" Another man followed the other one from inside.
"Prince Soma! Ciel, it has been a while since." Wait... Prince Soma Asman Kadar?! The Prince from India?! And this must be that curry chef, Agni!
"Oh? Sebastian, who is that young lady?" Agni glanced me just as the prince saw me. Sebastian chuckled and smirked.
"Ah, this is Lady _. She is the Young Master's guest of honor." I bowed down before them in respect. "P-pleasant to meet you sirs! I have heard all about you! Prince Soma Asman Kadar and the curry chef, Agni! Quite pleased to be acquainted!"
They both chuckled. "Please, please let us drop the formality and simply call me Soma! A beautiful young as you deserves to be called a lady!" He got my hand and kissed it making me flustered. The brat simply cleared his throat and made way inside.
"You'll love it inside, _! Let me show you!" Soma held my hand and dragged me inside the townhouse followed by the two butlers.
"Young masteeeer~~ long time no see~!" Another female voice was followed by again rushing to the brat. Just how many people has he have connections with?! Well, he is indeed an Earl and the owner of the Funtom so it is not surprise...
"Ms. Nina, bonjour." They kissed each other's cheeks as greetings. The woman only eyed Sebastian furiously. "Mr. Stiff." She growled as it rolled out from her tongue just as Sebastian snickered. "Ms. Nina you are terribly noisy early in the morning! We have this-" The woman pushed Soma away and directly walked towards me. She observed me head to toe.
"So this is _ the guest of honor? I'm Nina Hopkins; the Phantomhive's tailor! Hmm, I expected someone to be more...elegant but you have a simple charming face." Soma stood all of a sudden. "But she's a lovely one!"
Ciel's POV
Ms. Nina kept on circling the buffoon as if observing her. "I want you to fix her up. Fix her hair and face then create her a dress!" Her eyes beamed with happiness but the buffoon widened her eyes just she averted her head towards me. "What?! You-" Ms. Nina suddenly grabbed her hands.
"By stars! I'll create the most elegant one! No, no perhaps something that is ruffling and charming!"
This shall be dead easy!
