I was gonna leave. I wanted to, but an inside voice told me to stay. I had stayed on the couch until morning arose, but I didn't get any sleep..He knew Aleister and I had to know more. So I began to pace around the foyer as soon as noon came. I couldn't trust this kid, Ciel.
I continued on with my thoughts but they ultimately halted as I heard a crashing sound.
Chills rumbling up my spine, I ran towards the noise of raucous. The closer I got, the more I saw how beautifully royal this place ways. Gold and navy accents, painted pictures hanging on the walls at every turn. There were long outstretched hallways that seemed to hold an eerie look to noise got louder and I stopped my movements. "H-hello..?"
No reply, the noises were too loud and the voices were all arguing with each other.
"Master Ciel may be very mad yes!" A raspy woman exclaimed.
"May-lin! We have to clean this up right away!" A male had replied, his voice was light and cheery.
"Oi! It's that damn butler we have to worry about." And another male, this one held a deep voice.
My feet moved on their own despite my brain yelling to turn around.
"I said hello!"
I greeted again in a louder tone. The trio turned their heads and stared at me. "Master ciel said nothing of a guest. No nothing." The female had red messy hair, and fogged over glasses. Round glasses. I figured they were all servants from their attire. One a cook, one a landscaper and another a maid. My eyes slowly lowered, staring at a bunch of broken white plates and cups. A whole shelf was knocked over. The trio were whispering to each other about me and I clicked my tongue. "You all did this?" I would've laughed if they weren't all showing feared faces.
"C'mon! Let's clean this up." I said and bent down, picking up pieces of white glass plates. The maid girl started to help me, somewhat. Her shaky hands dropping every piece she picked up.(Making more of a mess) I held an arm full and stood back up. "Okay where is the garbage-" My ears yet again pierced as they all screamed in unison. Shaking, I dropped all of the broken glasses. The girl grabbed my arms, spun me around and hid behind my body.
Sebastian stared down at us and rubbed his forehead. "Why did I hire such servants who can't accomplish anything?" He sighed.
My hand stung like crazy and I glanced down.
A deep gash ran across my palm and now it was bleeding like crazy. Sebastian noticed and sighed (again).
"Lady Rayne. Let me tend to it. You three, clean up this mess. Mey-lin, sweep after you pick up the glass. Bard start preparing breakfast for our guest. Finny! Tend to the gardens."
At once, as if lightning, they all screamed "Aye Sir!" then went to work. Sebastian took my hand and carefully led me down a hall.
"So...Ciel is the master?" I asked and the tall butler nodded, he kept his head straight, not even glancing back at me.
"Yes. He may be young but he is highly mature and makes good choices for his business. "
I nodded, I could tell he was smiling. But I wasn't sure if it was fake or not. "Oh. Business? Um..Fun-tom company?"
"Yes. It is a pun of Phantomhive."
I nodded, he took me to a room and I sat on the edge of the bed. My eyes low as I watched his graceful movements.
"Excuse me. But I noticed you are in the same grown from the previous day?"
I cleared my throat. "Y-yea...I. Forgot to change?"
Sebastion narrowed his red eyes slightly then smiled again. "If you don't mind I have a dress that I think may fit perfect for you." He was suspicious, I could tell in his voice. Yet he smiled and it freaked me out. I cleared my throat again, trying to keep from seeming afraid.
"Oh really? I would like to see it."
"Lady Elizabeth had left it after spending a day. I do hope you enjoy pink."
He turned around, holding up a pink dress. It had a deep reddish pink jacket over it with long sleeves and short body. The skirt was slit in the middle and had a white ruffle skirt underneath. I smiled and nodded. Sebastian set it beside me and took my hand again. I didn't even notice he had a gauze with him and began to aid. As he did so, I stared at the dress. "Do you have any ribbons?"
"Left drawer."
"Thank you."
Once he finished and left, I walked out of the room in the new dress. It was a little taller and dragged at the bottom. I took the blue colored ribbons and wrapped it around my hair, making a thick headband. It was long so I had to tie it in a large bow on the right side of my scalp. As I entered the main room, Ciel looked up. "Hm. You're wearing Elizabeth's dress." Though his tone was filled with curiosity, his navy eye was still stoic.
I only nodded, going over to the kid and sitting across from him in a red leather chair.
"Earl grey tea with crumpets. And a vanilla pastry."
Sebastian said as he set the silver tray on the table before us. Ciel picked up the china cup and took a sip. I wasn't as posed , however, gulping down the delicious hot liquid.
"So. You know Druitt?"
Ciel was still looking uninterested, setting his cup down and crossing his legs. He even cupped his hands and leaned back into the chair. "Mhm. Um, we met at one of his balls."
No matter how much I tried to talk proper it came out suspicious.
"Oh? Why do you need him?"
"He brought me here and left me for dead. I need to see him." I answered slightly annoyed.
Ciel kept his posture and sighed. "Well unfortunately I can't and don't want to get in contact with him."
"Master, it is the season now. And we can always go to one of his balls?"
Ciel made a flushed face. "Ugh shut up! Listen Rainer."
"Rayne." I corrected before he could continue, but he acted like he didn't even hear me.
"If you don't mind. I was saying that we could use Lady Rayne to enter his ball for us." Sebastian said as Ciel furrowed an eyebrow.
"Hmmm. We could. Wait, you said he brought you here? In London?"
I nodded and Ciel looked confused. "But how? Lord Druitt is making women disappear not bring them to places."
I blinked my eyes and shrugged. "Well. I say we listen to your butler and go to the ball for more information. "
"You mean you go to the ball. Druitt only allows woman invitations." Ciel said back and I nodded.
"Deal."
"This isn't a bet Rayne. It's serious. Now, did you happen to run into any of the Trancy's?"
I stared at Ciel questionably. "Who's that?" I replied and Ciel sighed again.
"Never mind it. C'mon we have to-"
There was a knock on the door and Sebastian headed to it automatically. He opened it and in came little blonde girl with ringlet curls held up in pigtails. Upon seeing Ciel she smiled even bigger. But Ciel only stared at me, ignoring who was at the door.
But I had a feeling he knew.
