I was preparing for the ball. Sebastian was dressing me in my attire for the night. Lizzy decided on our "theme color" being green tonight. As much as I wasn't a fan of wearing green, I was still skating on freshly frozen ice with Elizabeth. I had no intention of going back to the way things were. Alois was quiet as of late. I was going to be on my guard at the party, making sure he wasn't plotting for me. I'm sure he's more than a littled crossed about me having his butler arrested and detained. In all honesty I was slightly hopeful for this party. I deserved some enjoyment after all that's happened.
"I believe you're ready to depart sir, if you're ready." Sebastian said, adjusting his mint green tie. "Yes, let's go, Sebastian." I turned around, but Sebastian was gone. I guess he went to get the carriage. I began my descent down stairs, it was dark. Those other idiot servants must have tampered with the fuse box. It didn't matter, I could make it down the stairs without lights. I was a couple of steps away from the door, when I thought I heard a shuffle. "Who's there, answer me now!" I was beginning to feel uneasy. I hurried the rest of the way to the door, and opened it.
It was still evening outside so there was sunlight. It looked a lot better outside than inside this house. I would make sure I chewed out all my servants for alarming me. I prepared to step outside, when I was roughly yanked back into my pitch black manor. I struggled against whomever was attacking me. They had a pair of strong arms, that threw me to the ground. I struggled to crawl away quickly. Then I felt a hard blow to the back of my skull, my vision became hazy. "Sorry, Earl but no ones going anywhere tonight." I blacked out.
Elizabeth P.O.V
Oh I was so excited about tonight! Ciel and I had finally made up, and were happier than ever. I put on my ring Ciel give me, it shined and glimmered on my finger. I was so happy I could explode. Paula was helping me with my makeup. "Are you excited for tonight, Miss Elizabeth?" Paula asked. "Well of course, how could I not?! Are you excited to see Mr. Claude?" I said, smiling. Paula blushed and became frantic. "Why would I be excited to see him?! I mean it's not like I don't want to see him, but I'm the normal amount of excited!" Paula's words spill out of her mouth, like water out a garden hose.
"Hehe calm down, Paula. I was only teasing. But you two would be cute together! Alois and I could be butler in-laws!" I said cheering. I was happy Paula might get to experience what me and Ciel have. She deserved it, she was always so sweet to me. Claude seems nice as well, a total gentleman. "I doubt Claude feels anything like that for me." Paula said, her eyes toward the floor. "Oh, please! You're a doll! How could he not be attracted to you, he'd have to be inhuman!" I said. "Hey, I'm going to do your makeup next Paula, we're going to blow Claude away!" I said, happily. "Whatever you like, Miss Elizabeth." Paula said. "We'll have time to kill anyway waiting on Ciel to pick us up!" I said.
I woke up dazed and the back of my head was throbbing. I couldn't move. I immediately knew I was tied up. Suddenly the lights were turned on. Across the room was Sebastian entangled in some type of glowing web like substance. He look distressed and weak, I then knew he could not escape whatever was binding him. This was bad. Suddenly a bucket of cold water was poured over the top of my head. I was drenched. "Sorry! I thought you were still unconscious!" A voice yelled over me. I lifted my head, only to see him.
Alois Trancy, who else should I really expect by now. "Let me go, Alois!" I yelled. I was annoyed, in pain, wet, and cold. I really wasn't in the mood for his bullshit. "I don't think you're in the position to be barking out orders, little doggy. Arf!" Alois said. Suddenly Claude glided out the shadows. "Nice work Claude I must treat you later." Aois said, clutching on to one of Claude's arms. "What do you want?" I asked. "For you to be unhappy, is it working?!" Alois laughed. "You see when you had Claude arrested and confined, like the meanie you are, I'd thought you and your butler would like to feel the same way." Alois said, walking over to Sebastian. Alois slapped Sebastian across the face with the back of his hand.
"That's for slamming me into that dam wall, you piece of shit!" Alois kicked Sebastian in the chest. Sebastian stooped over in pain. "It was well worth it." Sebastian said. "Let us go, you've had your fun." I said. He wasn't going to ruin this night. "Oh, no, because now I have to take Elizabeth to the ball. Seeing as you're unavailable right now, someone has to escort her!" Alois said, smiling. "You bastard! This was your plan along, stay away from her." I said, shouting up at him. Alois kicked me right in the face. Sebastian growled, and struggled against his binding. "You're going to have to lower your voice when you speak to me." Alois squatted next to me, so we were eye level.
I spat in his face. "You will never get away with this." I said. Alois blinked in anger as my saliva slid down his face. "Claude, I know you've had many altercations with Sebastian. Why don't you take this time to repay him for all that he has done to you. I'll take care of my dear friend Ciel, while you play." Alois said menacingly standing over me. "Why you are too kind, master." Claude said standing over Sebastian. Sebastian looked up at Claude with a face of hatred and slight fear. I closed my eyes as the first blows were received by Sebastian and I, from our attackers. I'm sorry, Elizabeth. Please forgive me.
