When I woke up the next morning, I was still in a daze.
Why did I dream of Sebastian of all people?
I could feel my face getting hot.
Don't tell me I have fallen for him?
What's the point?
I will go home soon.
It will break my heart if I have fallen for him.
I don't want to fall in love.
I decided I should get out of bed and do something.
What could I do?
Hmm
I should get ready first.
When I opened the wardrobe there were lots of dresses.
How did that happen?
Should I wear something different?
That navy blue dress was still there, I think I will wear that again.
Sebastian complimented me when I wore it.
Wait
Why do I care?
After putting on the dress, I could do it myself.
I felt proud that I didn't need anyone help.
Now I was ready, I should say hello to everybody.
As I walked, I can hear people talking.
It sounds like Ciel and Sebastian.
I shouldn't listen to other people conversation but I can't help it.
I tiptoed near the door.
"How is the guest doing, Sebastian?
"She is doing fine my lord" the butler said.
They must be talking about me; I am the only guest staying here.
Ciel coughed.
"Have you been following my orders as well?
Sebastian bowed.
"Of course, your orders was to be nice to the guest"
What
Nice to the guest
So last night when he was being nice to me was all that a lie?
He was just taking orders by Ciel.
I felt pain in my chest.
Oh for goodness sake, what the hell is wrong with me
I should go.
If they find out I have been listening, I will probably be a goner.
I silently went away from the door.
I must have looked down because Finny rushed over to see me.
"Hello Annie, what's the matter with you"
I tried to smile.
"It's nothing, I just had a bit of a shock that's all" I said.
Finny looked confused.
"Do you want to help me with the gardening to cheer you up?
Gardening
I never did that before; maybe I should give it a go.
"Sure, why not"
Finny smiled.
"Let's go then"
Finny dragged me to the garden with him.
Time has passed
Wow, I didn't know that planting seeds of flowers could be such fun.
Ciel is lucky to have such a nice garden.
I learned something about Finny today.
He is mighty strong.
He could lift things like it was nothing.
Finny could tell I was amazed but he didn't say anything.
I think he doesn't like talking about his strength, I could tell by his eyes.
Finny was running about crazily.
I giggled.
"Finny, what's the matter with you"
Finny stopped.
"I am working my hardest because Sebastian is coming towards us"
Huh
I turned around.
He was right, Sebastian was indeed coming.
What an asshole.
I wanted to run passed him but I can't.
He will know I am trying to avoid him.
Sebastian looked at Finny and me.
He didn't say anything at first.
"Finny, I hope you aren't boring the poor lady" he said.
Finny grimaced.
"Not at all Sebastian, Annie was feeling a little down today so I thought helping me with the garden chores would lighten up her sprits a bit"
Sebastian looked at me all of a sudden.
"You were feeling down, my lady?
I cannot tell him he is in fact the reason why am sad.
I looked down from his gaze.
"Finny, I am taking the lady to see the young master"
Finny nodded.
After I said goodbye to Finny, me and Sebastian walked inside the manor.
He didn't say anything to me, which I liked anyway.
The silence could do me some good.
But that can't last, can it?
Sebastian knocked on the door.
This was Ciel office, I would think.
A voice told us to come in.
We stepped inside the room.
Ciel was there sitting on this big chair.
He is trying so hard to be like an adult, I thought.
Ciel was holding an envelope.
"Sebastian, I have been invited to attend the Viscount of Druitt ball tonight"
The butler grimaced.
"Do you mean, Lord Aleister Chamber my lord"
Ciel looked annoyed.
"Who do you think?
Why was I here listening to this?
Ciel must have noticed my present at last.
"Annie, you are to attend the ball with me"
Huh
"May, I ask why?
What is this kid thinking?
Ciel smiled.
"The Viscount of Druitt has asked to bring a lady to attend also"
"Don't expect me to dance my lord" I muttered.
Sebastian laughed.
"The lady does not wish to dance so be it"
I don't know why he is sticking up for me, he is just taking orders.
Ciel got up.
"Fine, get ready immediately" he ordered.
I don't know what I have brought myself into.
At the ball
I was wearing this pink dress with frilly ribbons attached on it.
Mey-Rin had to help me put on the dress because it was really hard to put on.
I just thought of something Sebastian looked at me weirdly.
I hope he is not a pervert.
That would explain why he is so weird and mysterious.
Ciel was smartly dressed as usual.
Even Sebastian wore something else from his normal butler outfit.
As time passed I felt really alone.
Ciel was talking to the other guests and Sebastian went with him.
I was on my own.
I felt really out of place here.
This sort of thing is not my thing.
As I was busily thinking I didn't notice that a man was beside me.
I looked up at him.
The man smiled.
He was quite handsome if I say so myself.
"My little Robin, who are you with tonight"
Robin
What is with people and their nicknames?
I sheepishly smiled.
"I came with Lord Phantomhive and his butler" I said.
The man frowned.
"I will introduce myself, my Robin"
The man is pissing me off by calling me Robin.
"I am the Viscount of Druitt" he sang.
I don't really know why he sang all of a sudden.
Wait a minute.
Did he just say the Viscount of Druitt?
This was the man that gave Ciel the invitation.
"My lady, would you care for a dance"
Shit
I can't dance
"I would have to declined you offer my lord"
The man was taken back.
"I see, if you would like to join with me on something magical"
Magical
Wait
Maybe he could show me a way to take me home
"I would like that" I said.
He smiled.
"Then follow me, my Robin"
I followed him to a staircase.
Maybe this wasn't a good idea, I thought.
"You know what, maybe you could show me some other time"
And with that I walked off.
All of a sudden I felt something hard on my head.
I collapsed on the ground.
"My little Robin, don't think you can get away from me"
What have I just done?
