Chapter 5: His Sister, Flirtatious

We were sitting across from each other at the table. Sebastian had made breakfast, to Bard's annoyance. I was just playing with my food, not quite in the mood to eat.

Ciel cleared his throat and said, "So are you going to tell me why you did it? The suicide attempts, the cutting. Grell told Sebastian all about it."

I growled and made a mental note to have a talk with Grell. But for right now I needed to give him an answer. "My original plan was to get rid of everyone that had anything to do with my parents death and our butler. Afterwards what would I have to live for? So after killing everyone I was to kill myself. Bruce was the last person on my list and Grell was going to kill him so my time was up. As for the cutting, well I have an obsession with pressing cold blades against skin and ripping it open." I laughed softly.

"Bullshit."

I looked up at Ciel. "Excuse me?"

"That's bullshit. You have so much to life for. Why do you think you're alive?" He crossed his arms over his chest and glared at me. "A few years back, when my parents were still alive, you would come visit all the time. You were like the older sister I didn't have. You would always talk about marrying a nice guy, noble or peasent you didn't care, and starting a family. What ever happened to that goal?" He raised and eyebrow.

I looked away. "You honestly think I can still do that? The world thinks that I died three years ago with my family. Not to mention how screwed up my way of thinking is. No man would want to get involved with a nutcase like me," I explained.

"Oh so you don't swing that way," Sebastian commented.

I glared in his direction.

Ciel then said, "What makes you say that? Aside from the murderous side, I see and lost young woman who is in desperate need for love." Although it seemed like a compliment, he held venom on his tongue.

My eyes widened and I looked over to him.

"You're a beautiful young woman," he continued. "A man has to be more insane than you and Grell combined not to see that."

I felt my face flush. I wasn't used to being complimented like this. I smiled. "Ciel, that's so kind of you to say."

He cleared his throat again and got up from the table. He turned to Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, make sure none of her most recent wounds are infected and if they are flush them out right away."

Sebastian bowed slightly and said, "Yes, My Lord." He helped me out of my chair and brought me up stairs and into one of the bathrooms. He slid my coat off of my arms a dropped it to the floor.

I shivered at his touch. I sighed and said, "He hates me now, doesn't he?"

Sebastian kept quiet and helped me out of me dress. His fingers trailed over my scabs and scars. "I'm sure the young master does not hate you. Otherwise, why would he bother with you?" He began pouring some liquid on my open wounds.

It made me twitch in pain. My eyelids fell a little. Then, unknown to my knowledge, the pain began to feel good. No, it was his touch. This was the first time I've been touched by a man like this. I kind of liked it. I felt relaxed. His fingers felt like silk, smooth against my damaged skin.

"You're quite decorative, aren't you?"

I snapped out of it and turn my head to him. "Excuse me?"

His delicate fingers slid over one of the scars on my shoulder that led to my spine, causing me to shiver. "All of these scars, they're quite the accessories," he said. It sounded a bit smug.

I looked away from him. My eyes narrowed and I said, "Well it isn't as if I wanted most of these."

"I can see. It is obvious the long slashes were done by someone else by their positions. By something other than a blade, more like a whip. Am I correct?" he asked, already knowing he was right.

I bit my lip.

"You can get dressed. I'm finished."

I nodded and slipped my dress back on. I looked around to see Sebastian was already gone. I Put my coat back on and walked out of the bathroom. I walked down the stairs to see Ciel being suffocated in a hug by Elizabeth. I smirked and stood next to him.

Elizabeth let go of him and looked at me. "Serene? Is that you?" she questioned.

I only nodded.

"Ciel! Why didn't you tell me Serene was still alive?" she asked with a voice of desperation. It was so annoying, like a blade rubbing into glass but not quite cracking it.

I walked behind Ciel and wrapped my arms around his neck, my hands resting on his chest. "Yes, brother, why haven't you told Lizzy that I was alive?" I asked, whispering almost.

That set her off. Elizabeth's face grew red with fury, only to let her green eyes shine with jealousy.

I giggled. "If you haven't told her of my living, it makes me wonder what else you haven't mentioned to dear Lizzy..."I smiled.

Ciel shoved me off and glared at me. "Lizzy, we had just learned of Serene being alive. Sorry for not telling you sooner." He sounded angry but I wouldn't blame him. He then turned to me. "And why don't you leave us alone for now, Serene," he growled.

I looked away from him and started up the stairs. I needed some time to myself anyway. I could redecorate the room I was staying in.
