Disclaimer: I don't own crap. Just my OC and the story rights. This is the point where we get a little weird. We jump from arc to arc from here on out. One chapter it will be before the series starts and the next it will be the public school arc. We never know. Let's see how this goes. On with the chapter!

Summary: Just like the Rose she was both beautiful and deadly. She was beautiful like the satin red petals, and deadly like the thorns that adorn it's stem. And it was because of this that she seemed to captivate him. She was his beautiful rose and he intended on keeping it that way.

Chapter Nineteen: Immortalized Roses pt.5

:::

:::Rina's perspective:::

I felt cheated. Deceived even. I thought Liam had true feelings for me. Naivety, the only thing I could think would cause me to feel so horrible. I hid under my covers not willing to leave the comfort of my room.

"My lady please come out." I heard Meyrin's voice through the covers.

"No. Unless you are Ciel or Sebastian, leave me at once." I demanded.

Men are stupid pigs after nothing but what's situated between our legs. I huffed.

I sometimes loath mother for her poor taste in suitors. First it was Thomas, gold digger, then Gabriel whom turned out to be queer and wanted to use me as a cover up so he may have his lover on the side, and the latest being Liam, a perverted asshole. I wouldn't open my legs for him so he moved onto my best friend Evelyn. Poor dear. He probably has syphilis or some other disgusting sexually transmitted disease.

"My lady it is time for you to start your day." Sebastian was most likely standing at the foot of my bed.

Damn it. Meyrin actually got him this time.

"No." I answered through my covers.

I wanted to wither up and die now. Maybe death wouldn't be a bad option at this point. Might save me from more heartache and disappointment.

"My lady what happened that could possible make you so upset?" Sebastian questioned.

"Liam. That's what happened." I muttered weakly.

"Why are you crying over that stupid twat?" Ciel had joined the conversation.

"Before coming to visit you I found him in my parlor of all places! Kissing lady Evelyn Greenly!" I still couldn't believe the gaul of him doing so in my home.

"Sebastian... take care of this. I have something I must attend to." With that Ciel left leaving me a lone with his butler.

"Come on my lady. You must get up." Sebastian pulled the covers off of me.

"Fine. But I won't like this at all." I huffed allowing Sebastian to dress me after I was able to secure my corset on.

:::

I had finally finished breakfast and was about to head to the library when Meyrin approached me.

"My lady the young master requests your presence in the study." Meyrin gave a nervous smile excepting me to yell at her for getting Sebastian.

"Of course he request my presence after the horrid display of melancholy I just displayed not more then three hours ago." I grimaced.

Meyrin giggled.

"Don't be so sure my lady." I rose a brow.

"I know my cousin Meyrin. For the last year he has displayed not the behaviors of a child but the behaviors of a grown man. Furthermore his time spent with Sebastian has been almost constant, so this leads me to believe that in fact my cousin will scold me, not that he has the right mind you." I muttered the last part begrudgingly.

"Again my lady. You never know..." Meyrin spoke in a sing songy voice.

I do not like that tone at all...

"You called?" I entered the study with Ciel looking up and Sebastian in the corner as per usual.

"I've decided to help you out of your little melancholy by taking you out riding and later on a picnic lunch." Ciel spoke as a smile spread its way across my lips.

"Really? You don't have to do that..." I looked down grinding my heel into the ground.

"Look at me when I am speaking. It's very rude and unladylike." I smiled a looked up.

There's the Ciel I've come to know.

"Sorry." I muttered.

"I feel obligated to do so. You are a guest in my home and when my guest do not feel up to par I do everything in my power to reverse the feeling. There is also the factor of you being the closest thing I've had to a mother since my parents passing." The last part he trailed off on.

"Do I need to put on my riding gear?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes, we leave within the hour. Sebastian go pack the picnic basket and tell the servants to prepare themselves as well." Ciel commanded.

"Yes my lord. It shall be done." With that Sebastian left the study.

"Oh thank you!" I squealed hugging Ciel.

Ciel's arms wrapped around my neck and he tentatively returned the gesture.

"I am only doing my job as head of the Phantomhive estate." He spoke with pink on his cheeks.

"I know you are." I teased before leaving him.

:::

I sat on the back of one of Ciel's prized steeds with Bardroy leading my reins. In front of us Ciel sat on his horse with Sebastian leading his reins and also carrying the picnic basket.

I could hear the indistinct chatter of Finnian and Meyrin in the background of the forest sounds.

"How much longer till we get to this beautiful meadow you speak of?" Ciel asked Sebastian who had been leading the whole group.

"Not much longer my lord." Sebastian spoke.

I smiled when the horse suddenly was spooked.

"Whoa girl!" Bard tried to calm the horse.

Right as Ciel and Sebastian turned the horse had the beautiful idea to buck me off. I fell onto the ground and my dress not so elegantly flipped up showing some of the layers of my under skirt. Meyrin flailed and then helped me back up.

I frowned dusting the foliage out of my hair and off my dress.

"That's wasn't a very elegant way to fall was it?" I gave a smile and Bardroy and Finnian began to laugh a long with Meyrin.

"I don't think there is an elegant way to fall off a horse." Meyrin snorted.

"I suppose you are correct." I grinned getting back up on the horse.

I then looked at Ciel and Sebastian. Sebastian held a sly smile on his lips and Ciel of course had a grimace on his face. Leave it to him to find a way to frown at something as hilarious as me falling off of a horse and having my skirt kicked up.

After the laughter died down we were met with a spectacular clearing with a little brook and some willows.

"We are here my lord. Shall I set up the blankets?" Sebastian questioned.

"Yes. I must say this clearing is quite beautiful." Ciel spoke getting down from his horse.

"My goodness look at the butterflies." I smiled as a few of them landed on my dress and my finger.

"My lady it's good luck to be kissed by a butterfly." Meyrin smiled.

"I'm quite aware of that." I mused as they fluttered away.

"Bye bye little butterflies." I smiled turning to Ciel.

Ciel held a look of bliss when our eyes met. I smiled of course. It's amazing what little things entertain a child, though Ciel doesn't act like a child.

"Lunch is ready." Sebastian spoke gesturing to the picnic.

Ciel and I sat down and enjoyed our food along side the servants.

:::Third person:::

Rina smiled finishing one of the many piano piece she had learned while taking lessons from aunt Rachel. This one was one of her favorites. Rina called it A Lullaby for a Princess.

"My lady it is becoming late. Do you not wish to turn in?" Sebastian had been standing in the doorway watching the red headed girl play her heart out on the piano.

"No I wish to stay awake for an hour or more." She responded standing.

"Perhaps now would be an opportune time for you to prove to me that you in fact can dance." Sebastian smirked.

"You always accuse me of having two left feet. Why not? Maybe it will wipe that damn smirk off of your smug face." Rina responded.

Sebastian twirled Rina.

"A lady of your social standing shouldn't use such vulgar terms." Sebastian spoke as the two of them glided across the dance floor.

"What are you my mother?" Rina snorted with a smile.

Sebastian realized seeing her this way that maybe there was more to her then he initially thought. This captivated him even more. She was in fact perfect in every way. She kept him on his toes with her witty remarks but she also held the grace of a swan and the pride of lion. There were many layers to this one mortal that he felt compelled to peel back and discover. Just like the Rose she was beautiful and deadly. Beautiful like the satin petals and deadly like the thorns that adorn its stem. And it was because of this she seemed to captivate him. She was his beautiful rose and he intended on keeping it that way.
