So...yea. I haven't been on here in a while, but that doesn't matter. Cause I'm here now! Here's Chapter 5, Enjoy!

Elizabeth Midford

"Ciel..." I couldn't believe that he decided to show up here now, after he ran from me like the little son of a bitch that he is. Seeing him made me happy, but I also got extremely pissed off. He ran away, and now he decides to come back now? Especially at a crucial moment like this... I collapsed to the ground.

"Who the fuck are you?" One of the men spat. Ciel bowed his head, and smiled.

Immediately, warning bells went off in my head. Ciel has never really smiled, and he certainly never ever would bow to any one. At least, the Ciel that I once knew wouldn't.

"That is neither here nor there." Ciel replied calmly, the smile still on his face, "Right now all you need to know is that the girl you just attacked is royalty." He began to pull off his black gloves. First, he pulled off the right.

"So? What, is that supposed to scare us or something?" Thug #1 said. The group glared at Ciel, challenging him to say something.

Ciel pulled off the left glove, then put the pair into his pocket. "Royalty always has bodyguards nearby." He said, then set his cane against the brick wall.

"And? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Thug #2 snarled.

Ciel looked up, and everyone, myself included, gasped. Ciel's eye was pink, a bright piercing pink with a black slit for a pupil. His eye reminded me of a cat's.

"Where do you think this woman's guard is at?" He said. The thugs all seemed confused, except for Thug #1.

"You-" Suddenly, Thug #1 was on the group, blooding seeping from his eyes, nose, and mouth. The group saw this and went into a panicked frenzy.

"What the fuck?! What just fucking happened?!" Thug #3 yelled. Ciel hadn't moved, yet the gang immediately assumed that he did it.

"What the fuck are you?! MONSTER!" Thug #2 screamed and pointed at Ciel. "YOU'RE A MONSTER! YOU-!" Thug #2 was cut off, as he too met the same fate as his friend.

This time, Ciel was standing over the man, and I heard him whisper ominously, "I am much much worse than any monster you'll ever encounter."

The group scattered to the edges of the alley, attempting to make as much space between themselves and Ciel. I just sat their, staring shocked at the bodies.

Suddenly, Ciel turned his pink cat-like gaze upon me. My heart beat sped up, and I froze, paralyzed from fear.

"Close your eyes, Elizabeth." He said. I stared up at him from the ground. "What?" There was a strange buzzing sound in my ears. Was this really Ciel? Maybe I was mistaken before...

"Elizabeth, you must close your eyes. I don't want you to see this." Ciel leaned down, and put his face in front of mine.

"See what? What are you going to do?" I asked fearfully. Ciel stared into my eyes for a while, then suddenly whispered, "You don't have to be afraid of me."

I breathed out, and he continued to whisper into my ear. "Close your eyes and imagine that you're home at the Midford estate. Imagine something happy for me..." I slowly closed my eyes, and I heard his mutter of approval.

"Keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them, okay?" He said from above me. I assumed that he was standing.

"Okay." I replied. I listened as carefully as I could, and heard the squeaks of terror coming from the men that attacked me.

"No- NO!-" There was a sickening crunch, and then a splatter. One of the men screamed, then suddenly that sound was cut off. The process repeated until the last man.

"What-? What are you? How-?" The man began to sob. "God have mercy! MERCY! HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL LORD! OUR FATHER WHO ART IN-"

Riiiiiiiiiiip! I squeezed my eyes tighter, as I heard the more sounds of ripping and splatters.

I listened for anymore noise, but there was nothing. I wanted to call out, but I was too afraid. Finally, I got the courage to speak.

"Ciel?" I tentatively called.

Suddenly, I was being held in someone's arms. I was about to open my eyes, and slap the living shit out of the person (How dare they pick me up?!), until I heard his voice.

"Don't open your eyes. Not yet." Ciel muttered to me. I obeyed, and instead tried to forget what just happened. Pretend that I wasn't being held in my supposedly dead fiancee's arms. His left arm supported my legs, and his right arm supported my back.

Just then I felt a light breeze on my face. It ruffled my dress, and I could've sworn that I heard birds cawing from behind me.

Were we flying? No...no way. Impossible... I think.

"You can open your eyes now." He said. I heard him, but I still didn't open my eyes. I was afraid that I'd see the lifeless bodies of those thugs in front of me.

"Elizabeth, you're okay. You're safe now." I breathed in deeply, then opened my eyes slowly and cautiously. We were in front of the black carriage that Ciel had escaped into from before. It still had the shadowy horses attached to the front of it.

"Where are we?" I asked. I didn't recognize any of the shops.

"We are in the southern part of London." His voice was different from 12 years ago. It was deeper, more masculine. His voice also was smooth sounding, it reminded me of honey or velvet. I felt really comfortable against him. Through his clothes, I could feel that he was well muscled.

Wait, what? Through his clothes-?

Right then I remembered that I Ciel was holding me. I made a small eep sound, and Ciel looked down at me.

"Is something wrong?" He asked. I gulped, "Could you- erm -maybe set me down?" I tried to ask in the politest way possible.

Ciel chuckled, and I stared at him. He had definitely changed a lot in the last 12 years. The Ciel I knew would've never chuckled or laughed. It was a rare thing whenever he did.

"Is this uncomfortable for you Elizabeth?" He asked. I detected a hint a amusement beneath the polite tone.

"Slightly. So could you-?" Ciel ignored me, and carried me to his black carriage.

"What are you doing?!" I asked indignant.

He kept staring forward, still ignoring me.

"Hey! I'm talking to you! Answer me!" I said angrily. He still continued to stare forward.

"Phantomhive! Answer me goddammit!" I snapped.

A chuckle sounded from my left, (Or from the direction of my feet). "Miss Elizabeth certainly has picked up some bad habits over the years, hasn't she?"

Sebastian was suddenly walking next to Ciel and me. I stared at him surprised. Where did he come from?

"Yes, she certainly has." Ciel replied. I huffed, remembering my anger.

"What, am I suddenly nothing to you? Answer when I ask you a question!" Ciel chuckled, and I heard the rumble from his chest.

"She is similar to yourself when you were a boy, My Lord." Sebastian commented.

"Ciel, you better-" I yelped as Ciel set me inside of the carriage. He climbed in after me, and sat down across from me.

I heard Sebastian click his tongue, and the carriage began to move slowly through the empty street. Though I could see the shops moving past, the carriage didn't shake or quake. It didn't even feel as if we were moving.

I wanted to ask so many questions, but I didn't know where to start. Where had he been these last 12 years? What had he been doing? Why did he leave in the first place?

I was about say something, but Ciel spoke first.

"I'm sorry for any pain that I've caused you, Elizabeth."

My eyes widened, and I just stared blankly at Ciel's face. He certainly had become even more handsome than when he was a boy. It almost seemed as if his features had been enhanced to look even more attractive.

His face was more chiseled, and his eye seemed to have turned an even deeper royal blue. Suddenly I remembered that before his eye color was pink, and had a slit for a pupil. Now though, his eye was back to normal...well as normal as I remembered anyway.

"Your eye, it was a bright pink before." I blurted out. Ciel looked up surprised that I didn't address his apology.

Dammit, why do I always say the first thing that comes to mind?!

"Well?" I impatiently egged him on to respond. He smiled saying, "Yes, my eye color was pink before."

"Why is it blue now?" I asked curious. He stopped smiling.

"You do not need to know." He replied, then looked off to the left out the carriage window.

We rode in silence, until I finally spoke.

"So, you're sorry?" He looked away from the window, and into my eyes. Immediately I felt weak and cold.

"Yes. I am sorry. I made the worst decision that day, deciding to leave behind everyone that I knew and love-." he stopped, then closed his mouth at my expression.

"Love? You are a creature incapable of love." I snapped angrily.

Whenever I was bored, I would come up with different scenarios about how I would confront Ciel when I found him. I never imagined that our conversation would be like this.

"You're right. I am incapable of love. If I had loved, maybe things would've turned out different. Maybe I wouldn't have left you all behind." He said, looking down at his feet.

"And for what? What did you leave us for exactly, Phantomhive?!" I said, enraged.

Ciel didn't respond. He merely continued to stare down at his feet.

"I had to leave. It was for the best..." He trailed off.

I was about to reply, but I heard something in Ciel's voice. It sounded like...sadness. I didn't even know that he was capable of sadness, that uncultured swine.

"Why did you leave?" I repeated in a softer tone. He breathed out slowly.

"We're here." He said. I looked out the window. We were outside of my house.

"Phantomhive, we're not done here. I want answers!" I said. He ignored me, and got out to hold the door for me.

"Phantomhive, answer me now!" I yelled. He continued to ignore me. That bastard, he better not make this a regular habit...

"You should get that wound cleaned and fixed up." He finally said. I suddenly remembered the long gash on my right arm.

"No. I don't care about my arm right now! I want you to answer my questions!" I walked right up to him, and put my face in front of his. It was hard to do since my head only reached up to his chest.

He sighed in defeat. "What question would you like me to answer?"

I stopped. The hole in my chest, carved into my heart and soul by Ciel was freshly opened. I felt broken once again. I felt as if every second spent with him was a faraway dream.

"Why did you leave Ciel? Why?" I asked. I could feel the tears begin to pool in my eyes.

He watched me curiously for a bit before he leaned his mouth next to my ear.

"I left because I needed to protect everyone from what I now am." He whispered. Then, he moved away from me, and stepped back into the carriage.

"What are you exactly?!" I called to him. He looked at me, and right then was when I saw the pain and anguish in his royal ocean blue eyes.

"I'm something that you need to stay away from." he called back. Sebastian closed the door, and sat in the driver's seat. He snapped the reins, and the shadow horses trotted off away from me.

I stared at the retreating figure of the carriage, until Paula ran outside to coddle me.

"Miss Elizabeth! Where have you been at? Are you hurt?" She hugged me, and held my hands looking into my eyes for any sign of deceit.

"I'm fine." Was I though?

"Who was that? The carriage that dropped you off here?" She asked, leading me into the mansion.

I ignored her, trying to decide whether or not to tell them that I just met my fiancee. They didn't believe me before, they probably wouldn't believe me now.

"I'm going to bed, Paula. Night." I walked up the grand staircase, towards my bedroom. I wish Ciel didn't leave me here. I probably am never going to see him ever again.

I reached my bedroom, and looked out the huge bay window.

"Good Night Ciel," I whispered. "Wherever you are..."

Well, that was longer than I originally intended. But that's fine. I haven't updated in awhile so, this chapter is compensation.

See ya guys!
