hey guys, hope you enjoyed the last chapter. sorry about the grammar errors. i really thought i fixed my spell check and i proof read all my work, but i cant seem to catch my own mistakes so i think its time to get an editor. ill have my brother look at it and hopefully catch EVERYTHING this time. its really getting irritating and I'm really a sorry. im going to apologize in advance because i know that this will be late. i hurt my left hand and i dont know how. i have a purple swollen lump right below my pinky joint and i cant open my hand all the way or use that finger,so im typing this either very slowly or with one hand. im good, but not that good. ENJOY! (and as a side note, there will be more dialogue in this chapter) -PenNinja
Grell stood in the doorway looking like a feminine force to be reckoned with, and the entire crowd of nobility seemed to shrink as they stepped back. The dress Grell was wearing was much more revealing than Faline's, it almost looked like something from her world. Though, It would have been worse is Grell was actually a woman, THAT would be revealing. Faline looked over at Ciel and was surprised to see the irritated look he was shooting Grell. Nobody could be that irritated with Grell unless they knew him. Grell started to strut into the room, looking for someone, the click of his red heels echoing in the cavernous room that seemed to have gone silent with shock. Faline really was about to lose it, between Ciel's embarrassment and the crowds surprise, it was possibly the funniest thing she had ever seen. Grinning ear to ear, she stood up, asking;
"a friend of yours Phantomhive?"
Ignoring her question, Ciel yelled for Sebastian. Really could this kid do anything without his pet? When after about ten seconds Sebastian didn't show (very out of his character, Faline noted), Ciel stalked off angrily, probably to give Sebastian a piece of his mind. Suddenly left alone, Faline made her way through the crowd, which seemed to have gotten over the initial shock and returned to a calmer state, and over to Grell, who was in the middle of asking around for a handsome butler. Upon closer inspection of the shinigami, she noticed the interesting braid Grell's hair was in. A waterfall braid, she thought it was called. She would have to try it later. She was about to tap Grell on the shoulder when he turned around and made what sounded like a girly squeal. clasping his hands together he said;
" you look as lovely as death itself in that color! i was afraid you wouldn't wear it." Grell looked like he was about to get a nosebleed.
"why the hell would you leave me a dress? WHEN THE HELL DID YOU LEAVE IT?!" she had thought that maybe Sebastian had left it under Ciel's orders, but apparently not.
"i couldn't stand to see you in such drab colors! and besides, it was an old dress anyway."
"um...thanks." Faline wasnt sure how to respond to the shinigami's generosity. She really hadn't liked him up until this point.
"i do have to ask you one thing though, i need it to remain a secret from the brat and my darling Bassy that we know each other."
"sure?" Faline didn't see the harm in it. BASSY?! Was Sebastian gay? he didn't seem like the type...
Faline was about to inquire about their relationship when Sebastian and Ciel approached Grell, both looking irritated. oh yeah, the both knew Grell really well.
"Mr. Sutcliff, I don't recall having my young master extend an invitation to you" Sebastian did one of his polite/murder faces.
"oh BASSY! your cold cruel demeanor only makes you more enticing!" Oh. So Grell was his stalker. Well then, that made more sense.
Grell looked like he was about to reply when Sebastian grabbed Faline and Grell by the arm, quietly pulling them from the ballroom, all the while smiling. A few people turned to look, but most just continued dancing. Faline didn't even bother fighting him, and Grell looked just happy to be having physical contact with "Bassy". The two of them were dragged through several hallways until coming to what seemed to be a back door. Releasing them and opening the door, Sebastian pushed them into a garden, or at least, it was SUPPOSED to be a garden. Many of the plants were over pruned, burnt, or had been uprooted. Faline heard Sebastian sigh. She was about to ask what the hell he was doing when Ciel spoke up.
"Miss Faline, i suggest you take a seat." not feeling like arguing,Faline rubbed her arm sat down. Grell joined her, staring at Sebastian the whole time. Continuing, he said;
"I have a proposition for you" he waited a few moment for her to come back with some witty or sarcastic reply, and when she didn't he continued; " i would like you to work for me, in exchange for our help in looking for a way home for you. You would be my dog, doing exactly as i say and gathering information for me."
"first of all, im a cat, I do what the fuck i want when it pleases me." this earned a chuckle from Grell, "Secondly, i was under the impression that you had already found me a way home, was I lied to?" She glared at Sebastian, getting angry. Her the slit in her eyes becoming more prominent.
"Sebastian does not lie, he cannot." Came Ciel's snide reply.
"and if i recall correctly, i never claimed to have a way home, I simply suggested you attend if you wished to obtain a way back to your own realm." had he known of a way back to her world, his original world, he would have gone home centuries ago.
"OH BASSY! how wonderfully cruel!" Faline had almost forgotten that Grell was there, as well as how annoying he could be.
This was NOT going as she had thought it would. The next sentence she heard only reinforced that belief.
" So, Reaper Grell Sutclif, THIS is what you do instead of working, I believe this is grounds for a paycut."
whew! sorry that took forever to put up, but it took forever to write. my hand feels a bit better now though. I don't even know how I did whatever i did to it, but I think I may have sprained my pinky finger. I know that not much happened this chapter, but I have something really exciting planned for next chapter... im finally going to introduce my other OC! I was going to do it in one of the later chapters but i recently switched up some of the story line and I wanted to bring them in now. Sorry this chapter was so short but I really couldn't type this week. hope you like next weeks chapter- PenNinja
