Me and Ciel were staring at each other. I could tell that he didn't believe me, his eye only narrowed as he waited to here the 'real answer.'
"It's true. I'm from the future. 2016 not...not 1887."
As it dawned on him, I saw his eye widen. His lips parted in a loud grasp and Ciel shuddered, "The- the future!" His voice was high and he stumbled back. I could see his body vibrate in shivers as he made a squealing noise.
"Ciel. Look, I can explain-" I made a bad decision. I leaned forward to grab his shoulder and- slap!
I would of fallen off the bed had not the shock kept me still. My wrist was numb and hanging off the edge as I stared into the eye of furry.
Ciel's hand was still raised high from its backhand, and everything seemed to go in slow motion. "You will most certainly explain yourself."
I tried to blink the tears, why was he mad at me? What did I do now? This boy had me confused beyond levels! I slid back into the headboard; even though Ciel looked serious..he was still shaken up. "How is it possible?"
"That is the question. That's why I need your help. All I know- that I remember..is that I ended up here in some warehouse after following Aleister to a room."
"What happened in that room?"
"Smoke. Just..purple smoke." I looked down at my hand, seeing a red mark pulsing on the skin. Ciel sighed, still trying to calm down. We stared at each other, and I guess Ciel finally connected the dots
"If you're from the future. Then, that means women from 1887 are ending up in..your year."
"2016. Vise versa as well." I explained with a fidget, I glanced down and scooted back further.
Ciel gasped again, his eye closed and his mouth became too wide for his face. The boy shuddered, but instead of freaking out..he began laughing. It started out as a small chuckle, then grew into a dark laugh. "Trapped in the future..Trapped in the past. What sick fellow came up with this one?"
"That's my point! We have to find Aleister again!" I sat up but quickly slumped down as Ciel shot me a glare.
"No. Finding him is out of the question."
"What!?"
"We need more evidence."
"What more do we need? I'm from 2016 isn't that good enough?" I said, leaning over.
Ciel sighed, his eye closed and he slid off the bed. "No. That problem is..." he paused as he fixed his vest. "I don't really believe you."
That certainly stopped me in my tracks. "How can you not believe me!?" Just a second ago he seemed so convincing.
"You're lying. And I acted for nothing." He folded his arms and looked away.
"Acted? Ciel I...you have to believe me, your suspicion is my suspicion."
"There is no suspicion. What person is stupid enough to believe that you're from the future?"
I leaned forward and crumpled the sheets in my hand, "Ciel please. I told you the truth. Acting or not, you got it out of me." I didn't fully get the 'acting' part. Didn't I catch him already? Unless...
he tricked me?
No. Ciel wouldn't do that.
"Rubbish."
"Ciel."
"That's enough." He gave me a glare then turned to leave. That was it, he shut the door and left me alone. "No.." I muttered. My whole spirit dropped and I could feel my eyes build up with tears. I was stuck here. With no way to convince him.
But that Undertaker..he must've known something right?! No, he would've of said it. I collapsed on the pillow and fought back the urge to cry. I felt sick again but quickly realized it was from hunger.
No, I'm not leaving this room. I won't deal with him. I couldn't bare the embarrassment. He probably thought I was insane. Maybe I was..maybe this was a dream..a crazy, inescapable dream!
"Lady Rayne. You're dinner." It was Sebastian, he entered the room with a silver tray.
"Don't want it." I said, my back to him. "My lady. You must eat. "
"Why?"
"Strength for tomorrow." He said softly.
It was enough to get me to sit up, when I did, I realized just how dark it had gotten. I was in here all day? "What's tomorrow?"
Sebastian bowed as he prepared the tray, "Tomorrow we're approaching a crime scene. A woman disappeared. And another..took her place."
"Took her place?" I said, picking up the glass of water.
"You see. My master is in denial but, I believe you. And soon, he will too." Sebastian allowed me to pick up the plate which had a seasoned meat and sides on it.
"I doubt it Sebastian. He thinks I'm insane."
"He deals in detective work and evidence. If tomorrow works out, we'll have a proper witness..and you'll be more help than you think."
I quietly sipped the water. Sebastian had a hand to his chest and was wearing another creepy smile. But this time, I looked up and smiled back.
"Thanks Sebastian. You have a way with making people feel better."
"I am a butler my dear. It is a requirement to cheer guests up."
I chuckled, "Then you're one good butler."
"I am simply..one hell of a butler."
~Ciel Phantomhive~
"She's feeling better now." The demon said, standing by my office door. I sipped tea with a closed eye,
"Good."
"If you wanted to lift her spirits you could've just talked to her yourself?" Sebastian was being ignorant. I clicked my tongue and swung my back to him.
"No way. Not after I made a scene. It was best if you did it." I stared out of the window. She wasn't lying after all. Though I kind of believed her, I couldn't handle the truth and she knew it. "Tomorrow, things will be confirmed." I added sternly. Hopefully with two people from the future, we'll get even closer to the sicko who's behind all this.
I began massaging my ring, and my eye twitched. "Young master. You should really get to bed."
I paused and glanced back at him, "You're right. "
He was right before about her. He detected my feelings first. He probably found it unnecessary to act nice and cheer Rayne up because I was weak to. That didn't matter, as long as she doesn't notice my awkwardness after that piano session things will appear normal.
No, that is to never be talked about.
When we reached my bedroom, the room was dark, and Rayne was curled up underneath the covers in my bed. I stared down at her, I could feel my cheeks fluster in a light blush so I looked away.
"Sebastian."
"You want me to remove her?"
I paused, to be honest I wouldn't mind her company. But..Elizabeth..it'd be stupid to leave Rayne in my bed for the sake of my own feelings.
Feelings that should be nonexistent "Yes. Take her to her room." I watched as Sebastian lifted Rayne and held her in his arms.
It all made sense now, that she was from the future. It seemed that at that discovery..I felt a bit of sympathy for her..
She wasn't that big of a klutz just out of her comfort zone.
I should be nicer from now on..
