You watched in horror as the torn fabric fell to the floor. You brought your hand up to slap the boy, which stood with his chest puffed up in the air, before a hand stopped you abruptly and suddenly gripped your neck tightly. Lifting your body effortlessly.

"Stop that Claude. I plan on keeping her for a little more while." You looked at Alois through pained eyes, trying hard to pry off the hand which gripped your neck tightly, with no intentions of letting go.

"But she has intention of harming you. Someone of 'her' kind." Claude spat out in disgust.

"I know what she is. Are you disobeying orders now, Claude?" Alois said in an irritated tone. Claude looked at you in disgust before dropping you to the ground and onto your knees, coughing and teary eyed.

You gently touched your neck immediately wincing in pain as you did so. Hanna gently patted your back.

"She seems interesting enough for a death god."

You looked up at Alois suddenly, wide-eyed and confused. Alois chuckled slightly, kneeling down to look you in the eye.

"I don't suppose you think that Claude would keep anything from me now, would you?" He smiled at you menacingly before standing back up. Your eyes wandered to what remained of Ciel's coat. The feeling of loneliness crept to you.

Once more...you left me all alone...once more...

You looked down, using your hair as a barrier from Alois' gaze.

"You're interesting you know that? With your power you could definitely have finished me off." Alois snickered, you heard a chair creaking which probably meant he had taken a seat.

"The rules state: That any reaper, senior or junior, are not allowed to reap a soul not written in the book." You reply nonchalantly, still not looking up at the blonde boy.

"You really are interesting aren't you?" He laughed a bit, before standing up.

"Claude, make sure that _(name)_ here would be able to attend tonight's ball. I'm sure she'd love to meet our guest of honor." You heard him chuckle once more, you gathered up the courage to look up, only to be glared by the demon butler. You looked down once more.

"Hanna, get _(name)_ back to her room." The big doors opened, the footsteps starting to fade as they closed once more.

-That evening...-

Hanna finished tying your corset and helped you into the dress Alois had picked for you. It was an elegant long black dress, ruffles and frills embroidering it's corners. A black choker adorned your neck, mostly to cover the marks of where Claude had wrung you.

"You look absolutely beautiful in that Lady _(name)_." Hanna smiled at you sweetly, but even if she did the look of worry and distress is visible on your face. You smiled slightly before nodding.

"Yeah...Thanks Hanna." You walked over to the bed and sat down slowly, not wanting to ruin the dress.

"Then, I shall come for you once the master has called." Hanna bowed after you nodded, and left. You looked over the mirror and saw yourself reflected in it, the dress complimenting your features.

Moments later a soft knock on the door was heard, you stood up and fixed your dress. The door opened and Hanna, who was dressed up for the occasion, held out her hand for you. You gladly took it as she led you into the huge ballroom. Floors of marble gleaming brightly, Hanna stopped before entering the huge hall.

"Hanna?" You asked, puzzled.

"Lady _(name)_...Please stay with Master Alois." She said, in a tone so caring and loving.

"What?" You turned around to face her, a look of shock and bewilderment on your face.

"You have something that I don't, something that could change him for the better." Hanna clasped both her hands together with yours.

"I...I don't know..." You say hesitantly, averting your eyes from her gaze.

"The master has gone through a lot, he has been alone for so long. He acts the way he does because of it. Even for a while please stay with the Master." She continued to plead.

"I..." You bit your lip before continuing," I'll try..." You finally looked into her eyes full of hope.

"Thank you, now shall we?" Hanna smiled, her eyes looking into the ballroom full of gay laughter and music.

"I'd be delighted to." You giggled, as you entered the hall and approached Alois.

"Good Evening, Master Alois." You curtsied before the young boy who looked at you delightfully.

"I knew that dress would suit you."

The music started once more, couples started to flood the dance floor. Alois looked at you before extending a hand.

"Would you like to dance?" He asked, you nodded and took his hand as he guided you to the dance floor. He placed a hand on your waist and clasped his other hand with yours.

You swayed to the rhythm and danced to the beat, following Alois footsteps carefully.

"You're a great dancer, compared to the other people I danced with." Alois complimented, chuckling slightly as he did so.

"Thanks, I learned how to when I was younger." Your mind wandered off to the time when Rachel and Vincent Phantomhive taught you and Ciel how to dance. The laughter that filled the room echoed in your mind. You snapped out of your trance as a shade of blue passed by and turned sharply around the corner and into the inner sanctums of the Trancy manor. The realization hit you.

If Sebastian had been here this morning...then could it be that, that figure...was Ciel?
