Me: I hope you enjoyed the previous chapter :3 Just like what Confessions-of-an-Animaholic suggested, I tried giving Alois and Claude a part in it, I hope it turned out well :D And...Finny's here to do the disclaimer!
Finny: This is my first time to be doing a disclaimer! I'm excited! *waves hands about*
Me: Finny you might break something in-
*Crash!*
Finny: Gah! I'm sorry!
Me: *sighs* I do not own Kuroshitsuji or any of it's characters!
"Alois! Are you okay? What happened here?" You rushed, taking off Sebastian from your mind. Alois continued to sob on Claude's leg, gripping it tightly as if it were a lifeline.
"Our Master has certain...weak points...And that man seemed to have used it as an opportunity to buy time to escape." Claude picked up the sobbing boy and gently cradled him. Alois calmed down little by little, feeling the safety in the demon's arms.
"I'm tired now, Claude..."
"Understood." The man bowed at you before going up the stairs and into the many halls of the Trancy manor. You returned to your own, forgetting Sebastian for a split second. You lay in your bed, tossing and turning, thoughts filling up your head.
He had what he wanted...he already has Ciel's soul...what more does he want?
Your eyes shot open and you sat up in bed, staring into the window.
Or maybe he doesn't have it yet...But then...why?
You fell back on the bed, thoughts still clouding your head, yet managed to get even a wink of sleep. You awoke to the sound of the curtains opening, you gradually opened your eyes, yawning and stretching a bit as you did so.
"Wakey Wakey!" a childish voice called out to you, a hand clasped onto your own.
"Alois? May I ask what you're doing here?" You wanted to sound interested, but the lack of sleep seemed to be getting to you as you stifled a yawn.
"Well~ I wanted to personally invite you to the ball I'm going to have tonight! I promise I'll make it extra fun for you!" Alois grinned widely.
"A ball? But I-" You started to protest, but thought better not to, instead you shook your head and smiled.
"I would love to. But, I don't have a gown to wear for this evening I'm s-" Alois put a finger to your lips and smiled slyly.
"Shhh, do you think I'd invite you if I didn't have everything ready?" He pulled away and slowly walked to the door, smiling at you once more before leaving. You blinked, trying hard to see as your eyes adjusted to the sunlight. You glanced over the window and saw Sebastian smiling at you from outside the window.
A faint knock was heard.
"Yes?" You call out, taking your attention away from the window.
"The master has sent me here to assist you with you bath,and I have also brought you your clothes for today." A soft voice came from the other side, of which you recognized as Hanna's.
"I'll be there in a minute." You reply. You turned your head to look once more into the window, but no butler was in sight. You titled your head to the side, and stared into the window, the voice, once more called out.
"Lady _(name)_?" You snapped back into reality and flung your feet over the bed. Slowly you walked toward the door and opened it.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." You smiled at her, she smiled back sweetly. Tilting her head a bit to the side, revealing her bandaged eye. You stared at her sadly for a bit.
She sort of reminds me of Ciel...
She looked at you, worried.
"Is there something wrong Lady _(name)_?" She put a hand to your forehead, checking your temperature.
"No...I'm fine. I just thought that you remind me of someone I know." You smiled at her, showing her that you were fine.
"Then shall we?" You nodded and allowed her to lead you into the bathroom. Hanna helped you out of your clothes and into the tub, you made bubbles in the water while Hanna took out towels, soap and shampoo.
"Excuse me for asking, but may I ask about this person who you said I remind you of him?" You turned around to face Hana, then stared back into the water. She began scrubbing your back as she waited for your answer.
"He's a childhood friend of mine...He made a pact with a demon, which made him cover up his eye, where the Faustian sign is...and I haven't seen him after..." You bit your lip before continuing. "Some things happened, and I haven't seen him ever since he left me alone in that forest." You sighed, sinking deeper into the water.
"Your smile...kinda looks like his..."
"Then, running away was a lie?" Hanna poured a tub of water on your head, rinsing off the few remaining suds.
"I didn't think that Alois would be the type to actually take in a runaway child. Almost no one cares about other's problems. They don't mind if there's a beggar on the street whose days have already been counted." You snapped. Hanna helped you out and placed a towel on your head.
"Oh, Hanna?"
"Yes Milady?"
"H-Have you seen the coat? The coat I was wearing when I came here?" You looked at her sadly.
"I believe I have put it in your room this morning. What is it that you want?" She replied, drying off your hair.
"I...want to wear it today...would you mind bringing it in with my clothes?" You asked.
"Very well, Milady." She walked towards the door and turned around to face you once more.
"Thank you for answering my questions. Please excuse me." She bowed and left, after a few minutes she returned with fresh new clothes. She helped you into a fluffy blue ribbon dress and adorned your hair with a Blue ribbon.
"Thank you Hanna." You looked into the mirror once more. You took Ciel's coat and put it on, drawing it closer to you.
Ciel...wherever you are...Please...Keep safe... A tear sled down your face and Hanna looked over at you, worried.
"Is everything okay?" You nodded slightly, brushing off the tears. An awkward silence ensued, you heard Hana sigh before leading you out once more into the winding halls of the Trancy Manor to the dining hall.
"Ah _(name)_! Good Morning!" Alois cheerful voice called out to you from the other end of the table. He approached you, skipping merrily.
"Good Morning, Master Alois." His smile dropped as he gripped your arm.
"Why are you wearing that junk?" He said, looking at the torn coat, where the blade had pierced Ciel's arm.
"It's something important to me so-"
"No! I'm head of this house and what I say goes! Claude!" Alois said furiously.
"Yes, your highness." In a flash he had taken off the coat and in front of your eyes, Alois ripped it apart.
