Chapter 3

Lizzy

I ran out of the kitchen and into the Living Room, where Ciel, Sebastian, and a few strangers were talking. I walked over, but I couldn't get my voice above a whisper, "Um, Hello?"

A guy with blue hair looked over at me after what seemed like a slight twitch, "Hello?"

The two girls looked over at me, then, I caught Ciel and Sebastian's attention. My posture went stiff, as the blue haired boy stared at me, continuing his statement, "You must be...Lizzy?"

I looked at him. I never told him my name. "Uh... yes?"

Mey walked out of the kitchen, almost tripping, as she caught sight of the blue haired man. He looked over at her. "Oh... Who are you."

Mey walked over to the couch, "M-m-m-Mey...Rin!"

A girl with aqua hair a freakishly long pigtails looked at Kaito with a glare. I walked over and sat on a chair near the couch. "So-uh... Who are you...?"

A girl with bright blue eyes and pink hair gave me a reassuring grin, "I'm Luka Megurine." She gestured to the aqua-haired girl. She looked like a human-sized doll... "This is Miku Hatsune... and.." Her hand pointed towards the guy with the dark blue hair, "This is Kaito Shion."

I blinked. Ah... hard names I'll have trouble remembering. "Oh,"

I feel so ashamed! I should've came up with a happier greeting! Ciel looked over at me. I hope he didn't see how embarrassed I looked... He spoke, "Elizabeth, are you okay?"

Sebastian looked at me, "Maybe I should take her home... She does look rather sick, doesn't she?"

Sebastian led me outside where he hailed a buggy on the road. They pulled over, "Ah, Sebastian... Long time, no see!" It was a Chinese man... Lau. "Come along, Lizzy! Don't be scared..."

I opened the back and watched Sebastian out the window. He gave me a slight wave, as the car drove off.

I looked towards the front, "I need you to take me home."

"I know, why else would I be picking you up..."

The car jumped along the road, until we finally made it to my manor. I pushed open the door with force, "Thanks, again!"

I rushed through the fields, when I finally made it to the steps. I missed home. I'd been spending so much time with Ciel I forgot how much I missed this place.

I pushed through the two doors, that seemed like a struggle, they were so big. "Paula! I'm home!"

Paula came over to me and gave me a big hug. "Oh Lizzy, I'm glad your home!"

I nodded as she released. "I missed you, too!"

My arms went limp around my maid as I gave her another slight hug. I forced my feet over to the staircase and walked up the millions of steps to my room. It felt good to clear my mind...

My room was exactly the same as I left it, maybe even a little cleaner. I fell onto my bed, face-down. "So... soft."

I laid there for a little while, finally gaining some sleep. These days have been so hectic! So many planning... It feels good to sleep.
