Elizabeth's POV
I'm currently sitting in a bedroom, upstairs in Alois' mansion. I'm sitting on the bed. I've been like this
since Claude kidnapped me from my home. I can't believe this happening. My world was perfect just a
few weeks ago, and now I don't know what is happening. I wipe a tear from my face. They have been
streaming down my face, since I got here. I want to go to sleep and wake up to none of this being real. I
can't believe Alois, is so evil. How could he do this to Ciel and me? Who could have guess Claude was so
cruel. I was so happy to see Ciel alive and well though. Seeing him made everything okay, just for a little
while. He looked miserable, I felt so bad for him. Alois must be treating him terribly. I have to help him
somehow. He has been doing so much for me, trying to protect me from Alois. But, I didn't listen to him,
this is my fault, so I have to help. I just don't know what I could do. Especially against someone like
Claude, he would kill me. I got to think of some way to get out of this room. For my sake and Ciel's.
Claude POV
That annoying little female irritates me more than Alois. I would have choked the life out of her if Ciel,
had not intervened. Next time she won't be so lucky. "Sebastian, come here." I called my new servant to
my side. I must say it has been nice having a slave, especially Sebastian. Finally, Sebastian is under my
complete and utter control, and there is nothing he can do about it. "Yes." Sebastian answered flatly. I
smack him across the face. Blood dripped from his split lip. "How did I tell you to address me, slave?" I
said. He stared back at me with absolute hate and disgust, he couldn't stand me ordering him around. If he
could, he would slit my throat right now, and collect the blood that pooled from my neck. "Yes, master."
Sebastian forced passed his lips.
I smiled. "I want you to wash all of Alois' clothes, shine his boots, iron my uniform, take my spare
glasses to be repaired, shine the silverware, and prep for tonight's dinner." I order. "Yes, master."
Sebastian said. "Now go!" I said, shooing him away. He turned and left. Having Sebastian doing all of
my work, gave me the free time to do absolutely nothing. I can't even remember the last thing I cleaned. I
now was looking for Paula, I required some companionship. I haven't seen her in a while. With
everything that has been going on I have completely forgotten about my little pet. I finally found her in
one of our guest rooms, she was balled up in the corner with her hands clenched around her head.
"What's wrong love?" I asked, walking her way. "Clll-aude! Please let me have my body back! I can't
take ittttttt grrrrrrr!" Paula hollered out going back and forth between the spell I have put on her and her
own mind state. I admit that she is strong for being able to resist my spell even if only a little. I thought it
over for a minute, she was more pleasant when she wasn't a mindless beast. I reached out and touched the
stone in the middle of the necklace I was using to alter her mind. She immediately was back to normal.
She started to cry. "Please, Claude if you love me, you will stop all of this. There is no reason for this!"
She sobbed out. I knelt beside her and wrapped my arms around her. She reluctantly, but surely rested her
head on my chest. The love she still had for me was evident.
"Shhh, don't cry, love. This is the worst part, and it's almost over. Soon both Sebastian and Ciel will be
dead, and you and I can be happy together." I said placing a small kiss on her forehead. "Doesn't that
sound nice?" I said, whispering in her ear. "No! Claude don't, please Ciel is a child, and Sebastian doesn't
deserve to die! There has to be another way." Paula said trying to plead to me. It was really silly to me
how she thought she had any power over me, whatsoever. I patted her lightly on the head. "Don't concern
yourself with my affairs, stay out of my way, and you will be fine." I said placing a light kiss on her
forehead and walked out of the room. As long she doesn't continue to annoy with her sorrows, I believe
this will be such a successful relationship.
Ciel's POV
It was night fall. It was time to put my plan in action. I could not stand another minute, of being in
captivity like this. I couldn't bear to think of Lizzy suffering upstairs, anymore. This would end tonight. I
was able to get a small nail file, while cleaning Alois' bathroom. Hopefully it would be enough to pick
the lock on my cage. I waited until I felt like no one was coming to check on me, then I began picking the
lock. I jiggled the nail file around for a few minutes, and the first smile I had in 3 days occurred. The lock
popped open. I carefully removed it, and opened the cage, as quietly as I could. I crept quietly up the
stairs. I paused before I opened the door, I was hoping no one was on the other side. I slowly twisted the
knob, and opened the door just a crack. Then I opened it a tad wider, I looked around. No one was around,
I was free to roam.
I moved swift and quietly, the adrenaline in my veins, were making me more and more shaky, in fear of
being caught. I was trying to remember where Elizabeth was being kept. I knew it was upstairs but not
much else. I slowly crept up the stairs. There seemed to be an endless hallway of doors. I had no idea
which belonged to Elizabeth. This was crucial, if I opened a door that belonged to Claude or another
servant I was finished. I walked all the way to the end of the hallway, hoping I would open the correct
door. I put my hand on the knob praying I was not wrong. I opened the door, but Elizabeth was not inside.
"Young Master?" Sebastian said, in shock. I was relieved it was only him. "Sebastian, where is Lizzy?" I
asked. "She is five doors up from me, sir. What do you plan on doing, sir?" Sebastian asked. "I'm going
to free Lizzy, and we will escape then, you will be free to deal with Claude." I said. "Good luck, master. I
wish I could assist you." Sebastian said. "You are fine Sebastian, just end this. Make him suffer." I said
before leaving his room. I listened to his directions and went five doors up. I put my hand on the knob and
opened the door. I saw Elizabeth curled up on the bed, crying. When she saw me she immediately ran to
me and hugged me. I let her cry in my arms, as I placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Everything is going to be okay from here on, Lizzy. We are getting out of here tonight." I said rubbing
her back, until her sobs subsided. "You mean it, Ciel?" She said looking up at me. "Yes, now come on we
have to go now." I said. "I can't." She said pointing to her feet. She was chained and shackled to the bed.
I took out the nail file again hoping I could pick one more lock today. I picked the first one fine, but the
second one wouldn't give. I sighed we did not come this far to be stopped now. I tried one more time and
it finally opened. Lizzy and I both smiled. We were finally going to be able to go home. Elizabeth and I
held hands as I was about to open the door. But, to our horror someone beat us to it.
