Elizabeth's POV
I've never felt so vile. I took off his ring. I went to a ball, with another boy. I cursed his name. I had all these awful thoughts, about him. I am the worst fiancee, in the world. Currently Ciel, my love was laying in a hospital bed unconscious. He was attack by robbers, as he was trying to come see me. He was still in his party attire, as he laid bloody and beaten. I had spent the entire night, being so angry with him. As he was fighting to stay alive. My heart felt so heavy at this moment, as I watched his chest rise up and down. He looked so peaceful and innocent as he slept. He didn't have his serious face on, nor was he pretending to be stoic and adult like.
My whole family, Alois, and the servants were all huddled around Ciel's hospital bed. There was an icy silence as everyone waited for the doctor to come in. The doctor finally came in, my breath hitched in my throat. "Well, how is he?" My father asked impatiently. "Ciel has suffered a broken rib, and three cracked ones. A fractured wrist, sprained ankle, and slight internal abdominal bleeding." The doctor said somberly. "We have successfully stopped the bleeding, and treated all the other issues. Ciel should pull through and make a full recovery. We are just waiting for him to wake up, so we can give him something for the pain he will be experiencing." The doctor spoke.
"Thank heavens!" My mother rejoiced. I too was relieve that Ciel would be okay. It just pains me so that he had to suffer such pain. Who on earth could do something so awful? I made a silent promised that when Ciel woke up. I would give him everything he wanted. I would be his personal nurse, and make sure he was comfortable. We would be happy. We would push pass all of this and become the perfect couple. I was sure of it. My mind shifted to Alois. I looked over to him. He looked like he was angry, but attempting to be sad. Maybe he was mad at the people that harmed Ciel. But for some reason, I knew that wasn't it. I wondered if maybe he secretly hated Ciel, because he wanted me.
I do hope he pushes all of that aside when Ciel awakes. He doesn't need anymore stress. I also began to think if I should still see Alois. Would things be different now that I knew of his feelings. How could I look at him the same. When he so mercilessly slandered Ciel's character. Would he begin to be jealous and try and get between Ciel and I? I shook my head. I was being silly. Alois was one of the sweetest boys I knew. Sure he was upset at getting his heart broken, but who wouldn't? He would never ever try to hurt Ciel and I.
Claude's POV
This was so ridiculous. I was currently being "treated' for my stab wound. I would heal faster, if this imbecile would get this pathetic thread and needle out of my body. If anything this hurt more than the actually stab wound. Another thing in the human realm I hated, doctors. Across the room, my advisory was being "treated" as well. He was so dramatic. Going as far as to make whimpering noises and shift uncomfortably, as if he was actually in pain. I can't believe I actually went along with his little plan. Forcing me to cry in front of humans. As if I would ever be so weak. Especially in front of a group of humans. Please. "Well, you're all done, sir. Sit back and try not to move too much. It will aggravate your stitches." My doctor said. I wanted nothing more than to stab her with the needle she had stuck me with. "Alright, thank you so much." I said. "No problem, it's my job." She smiled at me and walked away.
I looked out of the corner of my eye. I saw Paula coming toward me. "Oh Claude, I'm so glad you're okay!" She said, trying her hardest not to cry. I opened my arms, and as expected she hugged me, and sobbed slightly into my shoulder. Once I make her my pet she will have to stop that. I don't tolerate tears. "Oh please, don't cry for me. Seeing you cry is more painful, than any stab wound." I said. "It's just that I was so worried about you." She said wiping her eyes. "You know, to keep myself calm in such a situation, I thought of you." I said turning my head,as if I was embarrassed. Paula blushed. "Cl-cl-aude I love you!" Paula said.
Was I really this alluring? To hear her confess her love for me was….interesting. Although I've had many women tell me they were quote on quote in love with me, this was the most genuine confession. "I love you too, Paula." I captured her lips in a kiss. As we kissed I could feel Sebastian's eyes burning a hole into my back. No doubt he would mention this later. He was childish like that. Paula and I broke our kiss. "You're the only man, I've ever really loved." Paula said to me. "Never in my life have I ever met a woman such as you, I want you to be mine forever." I said, as if she had a choice.
Alois's POV
All of this was unbearable. Claude was a complete and utter failure. I told him to do one simple thing. Check and make sure that they were both still tied up. That's all. We beat them to a pulp and tied them up before we left. So tell me how they had the energy to free themselves and over power you, Claude? This is the question Claude will answer for me when I get him alone. Now I was in a room full of people that at this point I could not stand. Staring at the comatose body of my worst enemy. All I wanted was a nice hot bath and the feel of my soft bed. But no, I was in a hard wooden chair, consoling Elizabeth as she cried. I'm so over this. Let Ciel have this bitch.
"It's going to be okay, Lizzy. Ciel will be up and about looking for sweets any minute now." I said. "Oh, Alois what an awful night this has been!" You're telling me. "I know this hasn't been the best of days, but let's remember the positives. Ciel is alive. This night could have been a lot worse, if you think about it." I said. Even though this night couldn't get any worse honestly. But, I've been lying all night, what's one more? "Alois, is right! We must not let Ciel awake to such disgraceful faces! We must be strong! Can you put on a happy face for Ciel, my lovely ladies?" Mr. Midford said. "Well, of course!" Mrs. Midford said. "Anything for Ciel!" Lizzy answered. I hate this whole family.
Sebastian's POV
Aww isn't it so disgusting to watch Claude be so romantic? Why doesn't he ever treat me like that? I'm honestly jealous, I must asked Paula what her secret is. I stare down at the bandages on my arms, and feel the band-aid on my cheek. The lengths that I go to for young master. Which reminds me, he is still under Claude's spell. I don't know how I'm going to convince Claude to let him go without violence. I will admit, I was tired of playing the hero today. But nevertheless I must fulfill the duties of a Phantomhive butler. I looked around the room, to see how many humans were around. There was Ms. Paula, three doctors, and a janitor. Not too many witnesses if Claude, doesn't listen to reason.
I walked casually over to Claude and his "beloveded". "It's so nice to see you again, Ms. Paula." I said. "Oh, yes. I'm glad you're okay, Sebastian!" Paula said, giving me a hug. I purposely placed my hands quite low on Paula's back. If looks could kill, Claude would have gotten rid of me a long time ago. "How are you feeling?' Paula asked me. "Oh, I will manage. I just hope young master is okay. Oh and of course that Claude will be alright." I said, turning my attention to my dear friend. "Oh, thank you for asking, I'm fine." Claude said with a smile. "Paula, do you mind if I speak to Claude in private, there is something I need to ask of him." I said. "Oh well of course, I need to get back to Lady Elizabeth anyway. Good bye." She placed a sweet kiss on Claude's cheek, then left the room.
"Aww how sweet!" I said. "Fuck you, Michealis." Claude growled out at me. "Oh you've been around Alois too long, using such language like that." I said. My second pleasure after cats was bothering Claude. It brings me such joy. "Take the spell off of my young master." I said getting to business. Claude smiled. "Why should I?" He said crossing his legs. "Because if you refuse, I will make sure you die a painful slow death. And I'll make sure Paula has a front row seat. She can preserve what's left of you." I said stepping closer to Claude. "Well there's one small flaw in your plan, Sebastian." Claude said. "And what is that?" I said. "If you kill me, the spell will never be broken. Also if the spell is not lifted in ninety-six hours, Ciel will die." Claude said, with a smile.
