Hullo Ther. I'm telling my wonderful Clams out there, I changed my username. K?
I own NOTHING! DON'T REMIND ME! AH!
~~CIEL'S P.O.V.~~
After several hours of shopping for useless things with Elizabeth we were getting ready to leave. She didn't want to go yet, of course, but her maid, Paula, and I talked her into coming back another time.
We took a step out of the shop and I instantly noticed how dark it had gotten. The cobblestone road was dimly lit by streetlights, so I couldn't see the stars. Alois probably woke back up by now. He's probably getting into trouble. He acts like a toddler sometimes… Never thinking anything through…
A carriage pulled up in front of us, through the large crowd of colorful people.
"That's our ride," Elizabeth said sadly, "I suppose it's time to go." I nodded back at her and took a large step into the open door. She came in after me, then Paula, who carried all of Elizabeth's bags and boxes.
I sank myself into the cushioned seat and closed my eyes. I'm exhausted. I felt Elizabeth sit next to me and put her head on my shoulder, then I heard a quiet yawn from her. I opened my eyes and squirmed a bit to get away, but it was useless. She's like glue.
She almost fell asleep by the time we arrived at the Trancy estate, but the carriage came to a halt with a shake. I quickly got out from her grasp and stepped out into the cold, autumn air. Elizabeth jumped out behind me, and Paula stayed behind.
"Goodbye, Lady Elizabeth!" Paula yelled, "I'll be heading back to your manor. Your mother thinks you'll be fine on your own, for now! Have fun!" Elizabeth looked back, nodded and smiled.
I walked up to the house with her hanging on my arm. Sebastian greeted us at the door.
"Welcome back, young master," he said with a genuine smile, "I hope you and Lady Elizabeth had a nice time." He gestured us inside. The warmth felt relaxing, replacing the cold.
"It was fine," I stepped inside further, "Where's Alois?"
"I'm sure he's asleep," Elizabeth spoke before Sebastian could, "It's very late. We should get to bed also." She yawned and pulled closer to me, closing her eyes. I tried to hide my look of frustration.
"Sebastian, can you show Elizabeth to her room? I wish to warm up in mine."
"Of course, young master," He continued smiling, "Follow me, my Lady." Elizabeth let go of me and followed my butler off into the labyrinth of hallways.
I had to get rid of her. I need to check on Alois.
I straightened myself up and walked in the direction of my room. Pushing open the door and placing my thick coat on my bed, I head over to Alois's room. It was still very dark inside, so I pushed the door open further.
"Alois?" I whispered as quietly as possible. If he is asleep, I don't want to wake him.
No reply.
"Alois Trancy…?" I whisper a little louder and lean in further.
"…Hello?"
"Where are you? I can't see." I opened the door up all the way to look for a figure anywhere, but I didn't see anything.
"Over here." Out of nowhere, he popped up and put his arms around my waist and hugged me, tightly. I was sort of shocked for a moment, but hugged him back, lightly, trying not to hurt him.
"You shouldn't be out of bed." I say flatly.
"Why not?" He pulled away.
"Follow me; it's far too dark in here. I still can't see." I grabbed his hand and slowly lead him into the hallway.
"This is much better. Now I can see your beautiful face." He giggled. Sometimes I wonder if he's drunk, but that's just his personality.
"Calm down. You're acting strange."
"Am I? That's weird~." He snickered.
"You're always acting strange."
"Really? Sometimes I wonder if I am the normal one, and everyone else is… strange…" He had a spaced out look in his eyes.
"What transpired while I was away…?"
"Oh, well, I think I hit my head. It hurts. Will you wake me feel better?" He was leaning on me. He did look very different than usual. Maybe he did hit his head.
I pushed him off of me, "How did you manage that?"
"I don't remember. Do you?" He was sincerely confused.
"No. I wasn't here, Alois. Maybe you should sit down…" I grabbed his hand and lead him into my room, which was lit by a candle on my nightstand. He sat on my bed and I paced around, looking at the ground, trying to figure this out.
"What do you remember…?"
"Who are you to ask that? I don't like to give information about me to strangers." What?
"What are you talking about?"
"I don't know who you are."
"I'm Ciel. You know who I am. Even if you don't remember me, why did you hug a unfamiliar person?"
"I'm a people person! It's nice to meet you, Ciel." He smirked and held out his hand. I pushed his hand down.
"Alois, what do you recollect…?"
"Hmm… I don't really know. One moment I'm eating dinner, and then I get up up on the floorboards in my bedroom."
"Wait here. Don't move, okay?"
"Alrighty, sir." He laughed.
I quickly walked back to Alois's room. I took a candle with to illuminate the room. Nothing 'different' caught my eye until I saw his jacket lying on the floor, and a broken vase on the floor. He did hit his head. He tripped on his jacket and hit his head on the vase. On the floor, I saw the navy blue ring I gave him last time we went on a walk. Why did he keep that? I picked it up and put it in my pocket.
Now he has amnesia and a broken rib. I wasn't expecting that when I got home…
He doesn't remember me. He doesn't remember us.
I felt like I was choking. I had to lean on the wall to catch my breath. What am I supposed to do?
I walked back to my room.
"You're back! I missed you so much!" He acted as though we hadn't spoken in days.
"I was only gone for a minute, and I was just across the hallway…"
"So?"
"Never mind. I need to explain something to you. I think you have amnesia. You won't be able to remember basically anything for a while… And I don't know how long… You also have a broken rib. I don't know if you noticed."
"I thought something didn't feel right there… Wait, so did I know you?"
"Yes. We were close… But you wouldn't remember…"
"Okay…" he looked down.
"I might be able to speed up your memory by doing things that will seem familiar."
"Alright. Do whatever you want. Right now, I just want to sleep."
"Okay follow-" He stretched out on my bed, burrowing his head into my pillow. I guess I'll have to sleep on the floor again. I took the blue ring out of my pocket and placed it on the nightstand. Maybe it will help him remember…
I'm terrible… I left him, and he ended up hurt. Again.
~~ALOIS'S P.O.V.~~
It's only been a few hours since Ciels been gone. I've been doing random things all day, like snacking, doing some work, walking around, trying to feel a little better. I can't let some stupid jealousy get to me… Ciel will always be mine… She couldn't possibly win him over… I don't think…
I decided to try and take another nap. It didn't do me any good, I'm not tired… Only because I'm worried about him. I'm just- nervous…
I lay down with the blankets pulled over my head for more darkness. I wish he was here. I feel vulnerable when I'm on my own. He shouldn't have left me. He could've made up any excuse to not go with her, but he didn't… Am I not good enough…? I'm supposed to be the best…
I shut my eyes tighter and carefully rolled onto my side. I need to stop worrying and try to sleep. Ciel would want me to sleep. He thinks I'll feel better if I rest more. I stretched my fingers out and noticed my ring was gone. The ring that Ciel gave me.
I had it on the desk by the vase. I almost forgot. I leaned upward, clearly too fast, my side started throbbing. I ignored it and kicked my legs off of the bed. My arms helped push me into standing and I walked toward the beautiful blue ring, in the dark. I felt something caught on my foot.
I kicked franticly to get it off and took another step. I felt completely weightless for a moment and fell straight down, hitting my head, hard, on a vase that rested on the ground and I felt an incredibly sharp pain in my rib…
I pushed myself up with my arms… This is strange… Ugh… my head… Ow... My side…Where am I…?
OH. MY. GAWD.
YES. THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!
As if Ciel and Alois didn't have enough problems at the moment.
By the way, I know this chapter is shorter than the last couple. I was having writers block, I guess. idunno.
