According to Sebastian and Erika I was out for an entire day. I didn't believe them at first, but my phone confirmed their story. Sebastian said that it was probably an adverse effect from being around so many supernatural's at the same time. I grudgingly accepted his explanation, since I did have a rather strong sixth sense.
"You should rest." Erika begged me. Ignoring her I went back to my room. I had plans and I didn't want to wait too long to put them into action. I grabbed a long-sleeved black and grey tie-dyed shirt and some jeans from my drawers and marched into my bathroom to get changed. When I came out again I nearly had a heart attack.
"Ciel! What are you doing in my room?" I asked the young demon sitting on my couch. He shrugged, red eyes flashing.
"I was bored." He stated simply. I rolled my eyes impatiently.
"Whatever. I'm going out now though, so you can't stay here." I pointed out. He climbed to his feet.
"I guess I'll go with you then." It was my turn to shrug, not really caring what he did either way.
"Fine." I said emotionlessly, "Just don't get in my way." He held his hands up in submission. I nodded then proceeded to climb out the window. He gave me a strange look but followed me anyway.
"Why don't you just use the front door?" he asked from behind me. I climbed down to the next balcony before turning to face him.
"I don't want Erika to know I'm gone." He smirked.
"At least you're not trying to hide from Sebastian. You should know by now that it doesn't work." I turned my back on him and dropped to the ground. Ciel landed noiselessly on the grass next to me. "Lead the way." He motioned for me to move. Running my fingers across the fence I located the camouflaged gate which opened onto a walkway.
"Nifty." Ciel commented, impressed. Pushing the gate open I marched down the walkway and onto the street. I was about four o'clock in the afternoon and I ran into Yuki on her way home from school. Luckily she didn't notice me, so I inched around her and headed in the opposite direction.
"Where exactly are we going?" Ciel asked me, sounding bored.
"You'll find out when we get there." I said irritably to my uncle. We took a winding route into the edge of the business district, my sparkly flats slapping the pavement while Ciel's boots drifted silently. I stopped in front of an impressive looking 10 story building.
"Is this it?" Ciel asked again. I glanced down at the impatient boy and entered the building. There was no-one in the reception area which was lucky, since I didn't have a very legit reason to be here. I scrutinised the directory behind the desk, trying to figure out which floor I needed to go to. Once I'd figured out what the sign actually said I stormed up the stairs (it's easier to avoid people in a stairwell as opposed to being in the elevator) and snuck into the second floor lobby.
"I still don't get what we're doing." Ciel complained. Turning I glared at him.
"Leave me alone then!" He stayed put and I shook my head angrily. He was distracting me. Surprisingly there were almost no people on the second floor. They must have all gone home early or something. Thankfully though, there was a light on in the mayor's office. I grinned as we advanced on the door. Ciel silently opened the door and we crept inside, shutting it behind us. The mayor was on the phone, so while I waited for him to notice us I scoured the room for surveillance cameras. Once I identified them I adjusted my position so that my back would be facing the camera. I didn't want to make it too easy for them to identify me. Ciel looked at me and I nodded subtly. We walked up to his desk. When Mr Mulder STILL didn't notice us Ciel sat himself down in the chair in front of his desk while I rifled through some of his papers. I didn't read any of them, since I wasn't interested in the council, but when he reached for the papers and realised they were gone he finally looked up and saw us.
"Good evening Mr Mayor." I sang cheerfully, dropping his papers on the floor. All the colour drained from his face as the cogs ticked and he remembered who I was. My lips twitched into a smirk and something wicked flashed in my violet eyes. I slammed my hands down on his desk and Anthony jumped nearly a metre in the air.
"What do you want?" he murmured.
"Sorry, I didn't quite hear that." I leaned closer to his desk, until I was on eye level with him. He shuddered as he stared into my eyes and didn't even bat an eyelid when Ciel put his feet on his desk.
"I asked you what you wanted." He said again louder, voice quivering. Standing up I crossed my arms, pouting. Am I really that scary? I wondered to myself.
"You don't need to yell." I complained, pretending to be hurt by his tone. Keeping my back to the camera I walked over to stand beside Ciel. "All I want is information. I could get it easily enough, but I'm going to ask you first. Why are you affiliating yourself with kidnappers?" Anthony swallowed.
"He's my head of security. He asked me to come to a meeting, so I came with him. Turns out he was lying, but what could I do? I was already there." I flicked my tongue against my teeth, shaking my head.
"That's the wrong answer. Once you realised what was going on you could have asserted your authority and released me. Question number two: Why was I kidnapped?" He was literally quaking in his boots.
"I really don't know. I swear I'm telling the truth." Rolling my eyes I slammed my palms down on his desk once more, for impact.
"I don't really care either way, but at least give me SOMETHING useful. Otherwise this is just a waste of my time." He cringed and looked at his hands.
"The man on the couch…" I cleared my throat menacingly when he stopped.
"Go on." I encouraged.
"The man on the couch is a wealthy man from out of town. His name is Cameron Little." I smiled.
"See? That wasn't so hard now was it?" Backing up I looked to Ciel. "I'm also guessing that I'm not going to get anything else out of you today. We're leaving now." Ciel stood up and followed me to the door. I turned back to Anthony. "I'll see you around." I stated cryptically. He cringed and watched us leave. Once the door was closed behind us I burst into a bout of hysterical laughter. "Did you see his face?" I choked out, giggling. "That was fun!" Ciel eyed me like I was something to be worried about.
"You're acting a bit sadistic aren't you?" I froze and glared at him.
"I am not!" Flipping my hair over my shoulder I stormed off towards the stairs.
"Hey wait up!" he yelled after me. The floor was completely empty this time around, with people not opting to work past five. I slammed the stairwell door in his face and stomped down three flights of stairs, waiting for him at the bottom. "What was that for?" he complained, red eyes angry. I shuddered slightly as his demon side showed through.
"I'm not a sadist." I pouted childishly. He rolled his eyes and opened the door. Surprisingly there was still no-one in the reception area. We walked quietly through the hallway, always on the lookout for people. As we passed by the security room I noticed everybody was watching the big monitor on the far wall. According to the camera description, it was the camera from the mayor's office. They rewound the film and I found myself staring at my back as I leaned threateningly over Anthony's desk. My mouth dropped open in horror as I realised my shirt had been riding up at the back, showing off a discoloured four-leaf clover. I went to leave, but I accidentally kicked the door as I moved, making it bang into the wall. They turned around to look at us.
"Can I help you?" one of the men asked irritably. I shook my head.
"Umm… No thank you. I was looking for my mum, but she isn't here anymore, so I was just leaving." He glared at me, and then nodded reluctantly. I took that as permission to leave and high-tailed it out of there. Once we were a few blocks away I collapsed against a wall, breathing heavily. My eyes had tears in them from lying about my mother, so I closed them to prevent Ciel from seeing them. I shook like a leaf as I tried to bring my emotions back under control. When I decided I was calm enough and I no longer felt an urge to cry I pushed off the wall and started walking slowly back in the direction of the mansion.
"Those men were really quite thick, not recognising us. Is it supposed to be a coincidence that you just happened to look an awful lot like the person on the surveillance video? Security these days is really slack. Even with all this advanced technology, stupid people are still stupid." Ciel pointed out as we climbed up a slope.
"I don't want to talk about it." I muttered angrily, increasing my pace to get away from him.
"Are you sure you're really a Phantomhive?" The question was so out of the blue that it stopped me dead in my tracks. Scowling I turned to face him, hands on hips.
"Oh course I'm sure!" I yelled, forgetting we were in the middle of the street. "It was my mother's maiden name. She was researching your disappearance before she was killed." I added quietly, almost as an afterthought. Ciel seemed stunned by my sudden revelation, but quickly regained his composure.
"By the fact that you said killed and not died, I assume that trouble still plagues the Phantomhives, even this far from England and the reach of her majesty." I stared at him, shocked. Shaking my head violently in defiance I turned and walked off again. "I'm right, aren't I?" he persisted.
"No-one even knows I'm a Phantomhive! I'm a Dionysus through and through, and that's probably where the real problem lies. Anyway, I highly doubt that Queen Elizabeth would go through so much effort to track down the remainder of the Phantomhive line when they weren't even her problem to begin with. Victoria might have been hateful, but the times have changed." Ciel listened to my rant with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"You do have a point there." He admitted reluctantly as we came to the bottom of my street. "I guess I'm still stuck in the past after all. That means I probably won't be of any help to you."
"You're a demon." I pointed out. "You never had a reason to help me in the first place, so it's not like I'm going to miss your assistance. The only reason you even got involved today was because you were bored."
"You're right again. Maybe I should spend some time actually getting used to this time period instead of messing around in other peoples affairs." He stopped outside the gate. "Sebastian won't be pleased if he finds me hanging around anyway, and I really don't have any desire to fight him." I laughed, violet eyes bright with unshed tears.
"Until we meet again then."
"Until we meet again." He promised then disappeared into the coming night. My hair flew out behind me as I raced around the side of the house. I climbed up using the balconies and managed to make it back to my room mere moments before Erika came to get me for dinner. My face was red from exertion and I quickly kicked my dirty shoes out of sight beneath my bed.
"What on earth happened to your face?" Erika asked, extremely confused as she thought I had been in my room until now. I shrugged cheerfully.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Erika." I pushed past her and padded barefoot down the stairs towards the dining room.
"Sebastian, I need to talk to you later." I gave him a meaningful look, telling him that it was something Erika could not be allowed to hear.
"I understand my lady."

I sat on the chair in the library with my chin on my knees as I told Sebastian about my visit with the mayor.
"We have a name now Sebastian. I want you to find out anything you can about Cameron Little, and also I want to know the details regarding the mayor's head of security. Go now. The information shouldn't be too difficult to get a hold of." Sebastian knelt down in front of me.
"As you command mistress." He disappeared out the window, leaving me in silence as I raged about the world.
A/N: I have no idea when the next chapter will be up, so just hang in there and be patient. I'm thinking there will be maybe 2 more chapters before any exorcists show up. Please don't kill me! I'm trying, in fact I've already written that chapter, I just have to do the inbetweens now...
