It had been quiet back at the Phantomhive Mansion…Soon after the horde of guests had left.
Ciel Phantomhive spent his time, in the library, but not exactly reading books though. He spent time realizing, coping and well, reflecting.
Time passed was fast as a hare. "Ciel, how about we go for a drive?" asked his Father, as he blew off the dust of some old books.
"Sure, Dad…I guess that'd be fun.."
"Oh…I forgot to almost tell you!"
"What is it?"
"Since Tanaka's leaving, I've employed another butler…He'll be here any second.."
"Why's Tanaka leaving?"
"The old man has gotten, you know well, old….He's been through thick and thin with this family of ours…"
Just then a knock was heard upon the door.
"Oh, that must he him.." Vincent said dusting himself off "Come in..."
A tall male with black hair and red eyes walked into the room.
"Sebastian.." Ciel said under his breathe.
Vincent didn't seem to have heard him, But Sebastian gave out a slight smirk that said right you are!
"Ciel meet Sebastian. He will be our new butler…"
"Yeah, sure."
Sebastian bowed. "Master, what will be my first call of duty?"
"Just supervision, mainly of the kitchen, you'll be called when needed."
He left the room.
"Did he just say Call Of Duty?" Said Vincent trying to amusing.
"For all I care, he said duty…"
They Chuckled.
"Rachel, why aren't you ready yet?"
"Says Sir-I-can't-tie-a-tie-alone…."
"Rachel, you're being hysterical …Of course I can tie a tie by myself…" He said entwining his hands in the knotted tie." Sweet heart…I think I need some help.."
Ciel knocked at the door, "Hurry it up, will you!"
"Restless guy isn't he…"
"Just like his father."
And thus they headed out. They drove past the Thames and Big Ben.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Hold you're horses' young man…Your Father knows exactly where we're going. Don't you Vincent?"
"Yeah, mostly anyway.."
They arrived at their destination. The place filled with blossoming roses, the sent filled the air and a soft breeze blew.
"Dad, where are we?"
"I used to come here as a child a lot. There stood a mansion right here..."
"We should probably head back now; the pollen might make your Moms asthma show up again…"
They headed back. Ciel noticed something in the bushes, a figure, tall, even from afar he could notice the red gleam in his eyes. It seemed like he smiled at him.
"Ciel, what is it?"
"Nothing, mom. Let's get going.."
They headed out again.
But this time the traffic seemed to increase by every second. Trucks with heavy lumber passed by. They struggled to get by the heavily traffic infested roads. Just then the talk black man with red yes passed through the cars as he tapped the Phantomhive car window.
"Who was that?"
Then tall man walked past the hoard of cars. The man disappeared in the hoard. Cars passed slowly as the light changed its colors.
Ciel knew something wasn't right. It sent a chill down his spine.
"A man taps the window; the same man that had been supposedly stalking them…This makes no sense…"
"Ciel, what is it? You look spooked…"
"Huh? Mom. It's nothing…"
And so they went, back home… or so they thought.
The traffic took longer than expected. They ended up staying back there for about three hours.
"Dad, what's going on?"
"Kiddo, it seems like someone's caught in an accident…"
"I hope their okay…" His mother, sighing.
It just made Ciels stomach somersault, it made him sick.
"Ciel, I think we're going to be stuck here for a while…" said his Father leaning back on his seat.
The car moved, maybe just a bit too fast. It made Ciels heart skip a beat.
"Sorry, guys I might have just accidentally press the accelerator."
"Accidentally! Vincent you almost gave me a heart attack!"
