Decided to update this fic, since you all liked it! I'm not happy with the turn out of this chapter: it's shorter than I wanted it and I just felt like the writing was blahh. But anyways, ENJOY! R&R or some shit!
They discussed my situation as if I wasn't there. I didn't mind, I wasn't paying much attention to them. I listened for the first few moments, but tuned them out as soon as they began analyzing ever little thing I had said about how my family members were murdered. I didn't want them to talk about them like they were things; that's how their tones of voices sounded. The newcomers Ciel and Sebastian at least. They didn't seem the least bit concerned that people were murdered, or the fact that I was most likely emotionally traumatized. They seemed only concerned with finding out who the culprit was, just for the sake of knowing. This angered me; my eyebrows furrowed together, my mouth set into a frown.
"My Lady Adrianna? Pardon me, my lady?" I washed the emotion from my face and turned to Fred. "Yes?" "Would you provide a clear description of the man who did this?" I clenched my jaw so hard it felt as if my teeth were going to crack. I still, however, nodded. "He was tall, around 6 feet or so, give or take a few inches. He had a lanky build, and was tan skinned. He looked of Indian descent. His hair was shoulder length, and raven colored. His eyes were foggy, as if he couldn't see, but apparently he could, because he…" I trailed off. They nodded, understanding what I had meant.
"Well, this is interesting." Ciel said, leaning back into his chair, crossing his legs. A pang of fury went through me. "Might I ask why you are here in England, and not in France?" "We had come here, simply to come. My mother, who is originally from Spain, wanted to do more traveling, seeing as how she went from Spain to France. We stayed at nice inn, and it just happened." My voice cracked on the last word. I looked down at my lap, rubbing my hands.
"Hmm." Sebastian closed his eyes thoughtfully, rubbing his chin. "Is it a possibility that you father or mother had enemies?" My eyebrows knit in confusion as I looked at him. "What? Of course not, why would they?" I heard the irritation I was trying to conceal leak into my voice. He smiled at me, "It is always a possibility, my lady." My eyes narrowed into slits. "Are you implying something, Sebastian Michaelis?" "Why heavens, no, I would never!" was his reply; however his eyes said the opposite. 'Of course I am you foolish little girl' it said to me.
I wanted to growl at him, to hurt him. I wanted him to suffer for his blatant mocking of my current situation. I stopped, startling myself with these thoughts. I was never one for such morbid thoughts; I wouldn't even hurt a fly, usually. I put my head in my hands, inhaling a deep breath, and then exhaling nosily.
"How is it that no one heard your family get murdered?" Ciel inquired, his sapphire like eye staring into my green ones. "I do not know." My eyebrows knitted together as a wave a pain hit me like a ton of bricks. "There weren't any other people who had rooms there, but the front desk man should've heard. Unless…" my eyes widened. Had he been murdered as well? Ciel seemed to have the same thought, as he turned to Fred and the other man, who I learned was named Lord Arthur Randall, and began discussing the possibilities of the murderer killing the innkeeper as well. Once again I tuned them out. I knew that what they were talking about was very important, but I couldn't stomach it anymore.
By the time I tuned back in, they were talking about the matters of where I would stay. "She can't stay by herself." Lord Arthur said. If that wasn't obvious, I don't know what is. "Maria and I would be more than happy to care for her, however she's a noble; I don't think she would like staying in our home very much." He was right, not because I was an ungrateful snobby child who had to have extravagant living quarters; it was because they reminded me of my parents. They were so kind, so loving towards me. My eyes pricked with tears. "Young master, would it not be a good idea for her to stay at the Phantomhive manor?" I looked at Sebastian. He had that same devil-esque smile on his face, so I wasn't sure if it would a good idea or not. Ciel looked at him, his eyes giving away that he considered the idea, and was planning to suggest it himself.
"We do indeed have extra rooms, if you wouldn't mind staying with us, until we solve this case." By the tone of Ciel's voice, I knew he meant it as a command. I nodded my head. "I would be honored, Lord Phantomhive." "Now wait just a minute!" Lord Arthur slammed his hands on the desk. "This is a case of Scotland Yard's business, not yours! You have no authority over it!" Ciel looked at him, irritation lighting his face. "The Queen has willed me to take any and every case of yours as possible, so I must obey her command." Sir Arthur sat down in a huff. "Very well, we will update you when necessary." "That isn't needed." Ciel said, as he stood up. "We can do well on our own." With that, he excused himself, motioning him for me to come along. I said my thanks to Fred and curtsied to him and Lord Arthur and followed Ciel as Sebastian held the door.
We left in his carriage. He looked out the window, seeming to be in deep thought. I played with the cuffs of the dress Maria had leant me. It was a plain dress, but it felt familiar; it reminded me of my mother and her night gowns. It smelt pleasant, home-like. I don't know how long it took for us to reach his home, but when he did, Ciel's voice broke me from my thoughts.
We stepped out of the carriage and looked at his home. It was beautiful. When we entered, we were greeted by his servants: His chef Baldroy, his maid Mey-Rin, his groundskeeper Finnian, and his other butler Tanaka.
Sebastian guided me to my room, as Ciel excused himself to his study. Upon entering the room, I was greeted by beautiful paintings and a lovely bed. Sebastian excused himself, leaving me to my own devices. I was finally alone. I went to the bed, sitting down and stroking the burgundy comforter. I laid down, eventually curling up into a ball, and began to sob.
I have nothing to say, lol. I hope you enjoyed, so please, patiently wait for chapter 3!
