I am terribly sorry about how short this one is, but I am currently bouncing around so many ideas that I don't wish to rush this story. Zane and I will be discussing how this should end shortly, of which is sad to see it coming to an end but we have many more ideas we are throwing about. Thank you all for your follows/favorites of this story! ~Rose~

Her Butler, Welcome to the Masquerade

Sebastian sighed heavily watching the colorful dresses as everyone entered the masquerade, everyone was talking excited with many single women obviously seeking him. He stood more in the corner, watching and seeking for Arok but was surprised he hadn't seen the man yet. Come on you bastard, I know you have her...

"Sebastian?" He was pulled from his thoughts as Lizzie approached him, he could easily tell it was her by the brightness of her dress. It was a cute little pink dress but it had so many layers, for once her hair was up in a curly mess of a bun. The big butterfly mask concealed most of her face except her face that seemed to be saturated in glitter.

"Yes Lady Elizabeth? Is something wrong?" Lizzie blushed and shook her head before smiling brightly.

"I was just wanting to say how beautiful everything is, it's so perfect... Well almost..." Lizzie clasped the necklace around her, he quickly realized it was the locket that contained a rare picture of Ciel smiling, a genuine smile. Sebastian cleared his throat before smiling, offering his arm to Lizzie, making her look to him in surprise.

"Would you care to join me for the night Lady Elizabeth?" She nodded happily before taking his arm, he escorted her towards the dance floor where everyone was gathering. As they slowly began dancing Sebastian caught sign of Arok and immediately tensed. The man was staring at him and Lizzie, wearing a full white coat lined with black including a black rose in his pocket. Sebastian knew that man was trouble but he hadn't expected the two figures with him.

She was dressed in pure white dress with a white choker, her large floral hat with a veil hid her eyes, the red upon her lips a stark contrast to her pale skin. The white dress was sleeveless, and quite revealing of her cleavage being pulled so tight. There were swirls all around the dress, the skirt showing it's many layers at the bottom; it was a dress he knew very well no human had made. Her raven hair was done up in all too familiar pigtails, standing next to Hannah whom was dressed in a elegant purple dress, her eye covered with a simple black eye patch. Sebastian felt his hatred rise when he saw her hair done up with roses he recognized that Ciel had been wearing the last night he had with her. Sebastian snapped back when Lizzie gasped, making him stop to turn to her, he hadn't realized he had allowed her to see them.

"Sebastian is that... is that her?" Before he could reply Arok had made his way with his entourage to them, bowing at the waist as the two ladies gave low curtsies.

"Ah Lord Sebastian, it has been so long. I hate to ask you of this, but would you care to spare a dance with this fair lady here? I must find where my son ran off to and wish Hannah to escort me." Sebastian stood rigid as the hidden girl tilted her head, her smile was flawless.

Something is very wrong, this... it looks like her in shape and form but something seems so wrong?

Sebastian slowly gave a low bow as Lizzie pardoned herself and went running through the crowd. Offering his hand to the girl he stiffly led her away, a false smile forced upon his face. Arok nodded, walking away with Hannah on his arm. Sebastian slowly began to lead the girl in a slow waltz, not sure of how to respond just yet to what had happened. As they began to pick up their dance Sebastian noticed she began tilting her head slowly to the left and to the right, her squinted as she laughed before singing so softly.

The little girl, as perfect as a pearl

He wonders silently, is it her or a rivalry

The past has come, but we must keep mum

Father is creating, you're just waiting

Sebastian blinked as she placed a hand on his shoulder, pulling his ear to her lips as she whispered her final verse

And yet she still cries for her lover...Save her, save me dearest Sebastian from this monster...

He felt the rage in him soar, moving away from her abruptly as she began laughing manically, he caught sight of her eyes and gasped. It was true she looked exactly like Ciel, but her right eye that his mark was supposed to be on had a thick crack running through it. Almost immediately Arok was there, grabbing her roughly by the arm before smiling apologetically to Sebastian.

"My dearest apologies Lord Sebastian but we must depart now." Sebastian easily composed himself, forcing his well practiced smile upon his face.

"Of course Lord Arok, I will see you again soon won't I?" Arok nodded and quickly escorted the girl out, Sebastian quickly left the crowd and found himself in the garden; staring towards the stars as he tried to relax. He blinked when he saw a single shooting star, a soft smile upon his lips as he remembered that night, the night he had sworn he would never have her...

Where are you?
