Unrequested Plans

Lizzy's emerald green eyes flickered up to his, "Get out."

"Why?"

Her voice shrieked at him, like a crow."Get. OUT!"

His head fell to the floor and he walked out of her room onto her balcony. She ran over, "Completely, out!"

Ciel stood there for a second, muttering something. How do I jump and land safely on my feet? Sebastian hasn't taught me that, yet, but I might be able to figure it out on my own... I hope. An angry voice he didn't recognize blew through his ears. It had to be Lizzy's, but he'd never heard her voice sound so angry and demanding."Ciel!"

"Going!"

He jumped off the balcony and she just stood there, shaking her head in bewilderment, finally noticing what she just did. "Ciel!" Lizzy ran over to the edge of her balcony, finding Ciel still alive, somehow. "How...?"

She leaned on the balcony, seeing no sign of him, what-so-ever. She blinked a few times, then, shrugged off her dumb-founded emotions, pushing away from the window and made it safely to her bed, after blowing out the small pink and white candles by her bed, and cuddling up inside the deep darkness.

As the night wound on, she did her best to pretend she was asleep, as she normally would when she didn't know her darling Ciel was still alive, she'd stay up pouting silently to herself. Even tonight, her eyes just wouldn't stay closed.

Her ear pricked when her door creaked open and the familiar shadow of her maid stood in the doorway. "Lizzy?" Light footsteps made their way over to her bed, "I didn't know you were going to sleep... I would've blew out your candles for you."

She smiled and the small shadowy lump turned, until it turned into the face of her noble-woman Lady Elizabeth, "I'm not asleep."

She sat up and Paula just looked at her, "Why not? Did you have a nightmare, my dear lady?"

"No, just troubled, again..."

Her maid sighed and rubbed at her hair, soon feeling the stiff, wetness of it. "Why are you soaked? I don't remember you ever leaving the manor and walking around outside."

"I thought I saw something on my balcony...but it was nothing. I am sorry."

"It's okay. I'm glad you were brave and facing the monsters of the night, little one. Here, I'll be right back with a towel so your hair doesn't stick to your pillow. Wouldn't want a bedhead for tomorrow now would we?"

Lizzy shook her head, but there was no sign of happiness left in her eyes and after Paula came back with the towel she tried her best to put her to sleep.

The next day, Lizzy got up bright and early because of a constant knocking at her window. She moaned, but soon dragged herself out of bed and over to her window, where a boy sat. His eyes were a deep blue with hair that possesed a cute, silvery blue tone -the kind she loved.

"Ciel?" She unlatched her window and he came through. "What do you want?"

He sighed, looking like he really didn't know what he wanted her for and why he came. He just looked at her, his face beginning to look rather flushed. "I...uh..."

She waited for an answer, a curious look playing about on her face. "What?"

He decided to just go with something obvious to talk about, "Um, about yesterday..." He looked down at the floor with a look of serious concentration. "I'm sorry I freaked you out."

He bit his bottom lip, staring at her. "it's okay...I was just a little..."

"Moody?"

"No!" Ciel smirked and looked like he was going to laugh at her, but held it back not knowing what she'd do if he did. "I was...confused!"

"Right... of course you were confused..."

"Shut up..." She smiled and pushed him back out to the balcony. "You don't deserve to talk to me this early!"

And with that, she closed her windows, hoping he would leave so she could go back to bed, but just as she was going back to her nice and cozy blankets, her door opened. Paula never needed to let Lizzy know she was coming into her room because there were only two reasons she would; one because she needed to get her ready for the day and two to tell her of impotant news if there was ever an emergancy. She called out across the large room, "Lizzy? It is time for you to get ready for the day." She looked around the room seeing Lizzy walking away from her window. "Hm. This is new... I never expected you to get up yourself."

Lizzy crossed her arms in frustration. All she wanted to do was sleep! "Hmph."

To Paula, that didn't sound like a complaint since Lizzy was so quiet. She didn't even hear the last two letters of her word come out of her mouth. To her it just sounded like a quick "Hm." Paula continued her daily routine, "Must I remind you of your schedule, today?"

"Um, yes..."

Lizzy didn't remember planning anything for today, but Paula whipped a notebook out of the front pocket of her apron, anyway, reading off the list of required things to do, "Today, you must visit the Trancy Estate... Alois has asked to see you. A coincidence isn't it? He is next in line to be your fiancé."

Lizzy shook her head as her head spun around in disbelief and shock, "Wait, what?"

"Yes. You must find a new husband..."

"But, I do not wish to marry-"

"Elizabeth... I don't want to hear this from you. In fact, your mother thinks it's a great idea for you to wed him. You two are already acquainted and Ciel knew him."

"But-"

"Lady Elizabeth, I don't want to hear it! I am leaving to prepare your bath, so you look absolutely perfect in his line of vision."

"But, Paula!" Her gigantic bedroom doors closed behind her brunette Maid, as she left and Lizzy sat on her bed, speaking softly to herself, "I just talked to Ciel... He still loves me and is still alive..."
