They looked out of the giant windows where Ceil and Sebastian were talking to a detective as guests began to arrive. They were all dressed for the ball although they were waiting mostly for lady Elizabeth. Megan was in a green dress that was very similar to Elizabeth's as it had been hers. Apparently she loved it so much she couldn't throw it away but it had been too small she'd given it to Megan who was quite a bit smaller than average for her age. Imogen was wearing the blue one Ceil had given her and Severina hadn't changed her clothes at all. All of them were quite fancy and suitable for a ball.
"I'm looking forward to this but what are we going to do about going home?" Megan asked hugging the rabbit.
"I don't know." Imogen sighed. "I guess it's quite nice here, we'll have to ask Sebastian if he brought us here on purpose and see if he can get us back."
"I hate it here." Severina stated.
"Ever since we got here I've barely been able to remember anything from the real world. It's weird." Imogen said turning away from the window and looking at the portraits on the wall.
"Same here." Severina frowned.
"I can remember quite a lot, not actual things, try thinking of your favourite phrase and think, where did I learn it. I've got to the point I can remember almost everything I knew before." Megan smiled. "This place is especially easy."
"Why, I can't remember anything about this." Severina said looking as if she wanted to back hand Megan.
"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, London bridge is falling down my fair lady." Megan sang and indicated for the other 2 to carry on.
"Build it up with iron and ste- Oh my god!" Severina said, remembering the episode she'd watched. "He's a ******* demon!"
"Oh yeah..." Imogen said surprisingly calm and quiet. Megan just smiled.
"I've been working on remembering since tea. I needed a way to blank out May-lin as nice as she may be she's annoying."
"What happens now then?" Imogen asked. "I can't remember any of this."
"Neither can I, it must be only the stuff that's happened already." Megan said contradicting her earlier words although she'd only just realised she had been wrong. A phone rang from a nearby cupboard.
"What now?" Severina asked.
"Imogen go and answer it." Megan said. Imogen started to protest by gave up and answered it.
"Hello?" She said quietly for no reason, the door shut behind her. Megan and Severina snuck away as a joke.
"Oh good it's you." A male voice came from the other end although Imogen had no idea who he was. "So you successfully infiltrated their ranks? Good, that took nearly a month to get an invitation into Phantomhive manor. That girl is a fool to believe you to be a respectable young lady." Imogen was confused but still didn't put the phone down. "You know your job, kill that damn butler, bring Ceil Phantomhive to me. The butler uses strange tricks so watch out. I suppose tonight we'll find out just how much of an expert assassin you are." Now she put the phone down only to find a silver pocket knife in her hand.
"I'm not an assassin." She whispered and turned to see Megan and Severina back.
"We know, we just go back, we had to leave for a bit, Sebastian was walking past just as we came in. You may want to be careful saying 'I'm not an assassin.'" Megan said as they left.
"So this is where you disappeared to, forgive me miss but the ball is about to start." Sebastian was stood in front of them, looking only at Imogen yet again. The 3 left Sebastian to find Elizabeth, she was in her room with Paula tightening her corset.
"Tighter! Tighter! Tonight is special I want to look my best!" Elizabeth shouted, by Paula's grunts of effort it was clear it was getting no tighter.
"I'm trying my lady." Paula said running to finally tie it. Once it was done Elizabeth smiled and looked up.
"Oh hello my dear." She said as Paula began to finish dressing her. Once done she was wearing a pink dress very similar to Megan's but with way more large bows. Her hair was tied the same as always. "What do you think to my darling new dress? Well? It's adorable right."
"Definitely!" Megan beamed, it was only part false as Megan seemed to like her a lot more than the other 2. Elizabeth giggled.
"And you're ever so cute as usual I see." She clapped her hands together then looked at Imogen's dress. "That dress. Uh. It suits you so well you're a vision. You have to make certain that Ceil sees you in it at the ball. He'll think it looks beautiful." She then fell to the floor, followed by Paula and then the other 3 as a purple mist filled the room.
Megan woke up on a blue sofa on a ship far out to sea. Severina was next to her still silent and still and Imogen was the same except she was in a wheel chair with a man in a white suit and owl mask next to her.
"Alone at last my song thrush. You stole my heart the day I laid eyes on you." He said smiling.
"You met her today!" Megan growled sitting up, her head ached. "And why have you brought us here you creep?" He ignored her.
"From our very first meeting I knew, I knew that someday you would be mine. What a sinful little bird you are." He began stroking her hair. Flaming my passions with such wild abandon. Don't worry dear no one will find us, we're safe here on the luxury liner that I built just for you. I call it song thrush's warble." He began to stand up.
"Let us out now!" Megan shouted although he still ignored her.
"We're free! Let us run away to paradise!" He was throwing his arms out in a dramatic was as Megan smiled at Sebastian stood in the door.
"You can go where ever you like, alone." He said nonchalantly.
"The butler!" He said as if on stage.
"So you're our kidnapper lord Druitt." He continued in the same tone.
"My mistress, goddess of beauty has stolen my heart." He pulled out a gun. He stot at Sebastian who somehow blocked it with a fork.
"STOP!" Megan screamed as the man grabbed Imogen and picked her up, Severina began to wake up at the same time.
"I'll be taking the young lady back now Mr mask de viscount." Sebastian said smiling slightly.
"Truest love is often forbidden." He sounded sad now. "There's only one thing to do." He pulled out a large bottle of poison.
"How much!" Severina was fully awake now and as usual only able to grasp half of the situation.
"Say goodbye!" He shouted.
"Ahh. So it's poison then." Sebastian said as if it was obvious what the man was going to do.
"We'll go out together my song thrush." The man said holding the bottle yet higher in his free hand, the other still holding Imogen. "To heaven where not a soul can follow us."
"She's coming home with us and that's final!" Megan said as he opened the bottle. The door burst open and a man with red hair and girly clothing including a red coat came in. The whole outfit consisted of only red, white and black.
"Over my dead body!" He shouted holding a chainsaw in both hands. "She's not on the schedule 'till tomorrow see, so I'm afraid you can't kill her yet." He wiggled his finger as means of chastising the man. He had strange green and yellow eyes and pointed teeth, he clearly wasn't human.
"Tomorrow!" Severina shouted.
"Maybe that's when we go home, maybe we go and here we're classified as dead." Megan said quietly, obviously trying to find a positive way of looking at it.
"Hello Grell." Sebastian sounded exasperated.
"Grell!" Severina shouted realising who he was, he had been her favourite character.
