"Oh! Ciel!"

Shudders advanced through me as the loud squeaky voice echoed through the halls.

I saw a blur of pink fly pass me, crashing into Ciel and spinning him around like a tornado.

I was afraid to hold in my laugh either, the young and boring Phantomhive now seemed shocked at this girl's appearance.

"L-L...Lizzy!" His eye was wide, and his mouth outstretched so far it almost looked like he was screaming.

The girl, well, Lizzy turned around and glared at me.

"What. Are. You doing. In. My. Dress!?"

That was unexpected, "Uh..uh. I had admired this fabric so much I just needed to wear it. I'm sorry. I promise to give it back. "

Lizzy smiled broadly and hugged me. "Oh! You look so cute in it! Just look at you.' Her hug tightened, 'Wha-but. Why are you wearing that blue ribbon? That doesn't match at all. You don't look so cute anymore."

I furrowed in my brows and pulled from her grasp, a hand going up to fidget with the navy bow. "But. I like the uniqueness. "

"No! Take it off!" Lizzie then reached forward and pulled the long thick strand of blue fabric from my hair. I went to protest, leaning forward to snatch her hand but Ciel interrupted.

"Uh. Lizzie. Why are you here?" I looked at Ciel with a hurt expression, this girl was demanding.

"Oh. I wanted to see you again silly? Oh Ciel. Ciel. Ciel! I just missed you so much!" Ciel gave a fake smile, his eye in a lazy slant and slowly took the navy blue ribbon from her hands.

Sebastian finally butted in and bowed to Lizzie. "Lady Elizabeth. Perhaps you wouldn't mind if I showed you the new ballroom?"

Elizabeth-Lizzie smiled.

"Will Ciel be there?"

Sebastian froze in place like he didn't know what to say. However he kept that embarrassed smile which made his awkward silence kind of cute. For a butler..

"Yes." I said and Lizzy smiled.

"Great! See you there!" I watched as the two descended up the stairs. Ciel sighed heavily and slumped back into the chair.

"She's quite a handful." I chuckled as Ciel rubbed his forehead. Now regaining his bored, irritated self.

"She's my fiance."

I almost choked. "Wh-what?"

"Believe me, I wouldn't want to marry her. It was arranged at birth. I have no choice."

I sighed and peered out of the window. "So you don't love her?"

"Only that of a cousin.' Then he smirked, it made him look menacing and attractive, ' Hm. She is my cousin."

I looked at Ciel with raised eyebrows. "Wait...what?" The earl sat up straight and looked out of the window. "Noble with noble. It's tradition."

I blinked my eyes. My only cousin was five. Would I still be arranged to him if I was noble? Disgusted, I scooted up closer to the boy in front of me. "What do you like in girl?"

"None. I was born to be alone." Now he was walking over with his cane towards the window. I guess to get a closer look at whatever was out there. I clicked my tongue, and crossed my legs. "Quite arrogant. "

"Is there truly any human who is not arrogant?"

There was a silence, only brief for he spoke again, "Any more questions?" I found myself walking over and standing beside him. Silently snickering at our height difference but Ciel rolled his eyes.

"Where are your parents?" I asked and Ciel gave me a glare.

A glare that sent chills. He turned away quickly. "Do not mention them. They don't matter." His voice almost sounded hurt. But when I went to say something he was making his way up the stairs.

"Lizzie is waiting for me. But I promise not to take too long."

"I'll be waiting." I said as he disappeared on the second level.

I found myself wandering through the gardens. Now fully engulfed in my own thoughts, a certain fact dawned on me, his parents were dead. I was stupid to ask that. Upon hearing a few grunts to my left, I turned to observe. It was the cheery eyed gardener who I came to know as Finny. I watched amused as the blonde-haired male struggled to shape the bushes. I agree with Sebastian on having poor servants. I sighed for the thousandth time and kept strolling. This mansion was so boring. The people in the mansion were-

Thoughts now leaving as a scream ran echoed from the street. My hands gripped the skirt of my dress and lifted it so I could run. Panting heavily to hurry to the scene. I stopped at the gate and stared out into the street. A carriage was pulled over and a woman was on the ground. I watched as man, his long vibrant red hair matched the red open trench coat that fell to his elbows, appeared and spoke. He then wasted no time and stabbed her body with a chainsaw. A chainsaw!?

Was I the only one seeing this!? The people around didn't even notice, they just kept moving. Records were coming from her body! Yet no

The red headed, well, red everything male jumped back and started heading for the mansion.

"I think while I'm here I'll pay a small visit to my bassy!"

He walked right pass me and I followed. "Why did you do that?"

"Hm? Ugh. Do what? "

"You killed her!"

"Oh please child. She would've died anyway. "

He continued walking on and I followed yet again.

"But...why?"

The male stopped and began to grumble. "I do not like children. It was my job! Now. Go run along child."

"Hey. But I'm not done talking. Hold on man!"

The male stopped and grew furious. "Can't you not see that I am a woman! How dare you call such a sensitive girl like me man!"

I stared awestruck. That was...a woman? Now that I saw his face, he was tall, lanky and wore librarian glasses. How was that a woman? "B-but...you."

"Grrrrr! Rrrr! Go- go on and play with dolls or something!"

"Lady Rayne. You didn't tell me you were outside. " Sebastian stared at us. Well me. He completely ignored the man-woman.

"Sebas-CHAN!" The man-woman ran with outstretched arms to tackle the butler. (Jeez, is he and Lizzy related?) Sebastian ducked without even looking. The red plum landed on the ground and groaned. Dirt patches and grass sticking to his cheek in an unfashionable manner. "Hello Grell. " Sebastian greeted with a bored tone.

I stared at Grell, a little surprised at his razor like teeth, but gave a smile. "Is that really a woman?"

"What? Oh. Yes, he is quite elaborate. Grell. What are you doing here?" Sebastian shrugged. Grell sat up and stared dreamy eyed at the butler. "Mmmm, Sebby. I am quite elaborate aren't I?" His voice growled as he tickled his ankle but Sebastian only sighed and stepped away. His attention averted to me and I became all ears.

"Ciel is looking for you. Anyways. I must take Lady Elizabeth home. Surely you wouldn't mind if I left you alone for five minutes?"

"I'm not watching them! Ugh. I do not like that little brat of yours. And this girl! She won't stop asking questions!"I crossed my arms at Grell's outburst. Sebastian shooed us both away and went back to get Lizzy.

"Why are you even here? Don't tell me that brat has a sibling!"

I raised my eyebrows and shook my head. "Nope. We just made an agreement. "

Grell gritted his teeth. "Well stay away from my Bassy!"

"Who's Bassy!?" I yelled out. Grell was now concentrating on applying lip gloss, looking at himself in a pocket mirror.

"Sebby you stupid girl!"

"Sebastian?" I repeated and almost gagged. What did he possibly see in a butler like Sebastian?

"Okay.." I shrugged, walking towards the mansion slowly. When I turned around to look back at Grell, he was gone. Weird.

I walked down the hall with a new pep in my step. So it was just me and Ciel. Why did that thought make me beam with joy? Wasn't like Ciel chose to be left with me. I knocked on his office door, thanks to Mey-lin I found it, and he cleared his throat.

"You can come in."

I walked in slowly, seeing a rather normal Ciel sitting in an office chair.

"Come here. "

When we met eyes, he gave me that same challenging smirk. He held out his hand and I obliged, letting him taking my palm.

"You wanted to know of my parents?"

I nodded quietly and watched as Ciel began to gracefully tie a bow around my wrist. I smiled slightly as I recognized the navy blue ribbon, the one Lizzy took from me.

"Well first. Do not mourn or feel grief. It isn't something to be sad about."

Chapter 5! THAt was my first Grell interpretation so how did I do? He is like my fav. character so I tried to really stay close to his personality! And also, I think I have fixed that weird matrix coding issue! YAY
