Her eyes opened just to meet with darkness

Étoile quickly rises up. She panicked but noticed that she's in her chamber. She recalled that she was playing outside with Finny, making a snowman, throwing snowballs and snow angels then they helped Agni and her wound touch a fork. She rubs her temples. The throbbing pain came back shortly 'when will it ever go away...' She sighs then she listened to the rapid footsteps outside of her door. Étoile immediately knew who it was

The door opened, letting light shine through the darkroom
"Good morning... Sebastian"
He crosses his arm and gazes down at her with a disappointed look on his face

"Come along. We don't have much time" He went towards her and tug her hand. She flinches when he touched her wound, he noticed her reaction and grabs her wrist instead. He takes her out of the hallway and walked together. During their walk to Ciel's studies, Étoile stares down at Sebastian's hand touch her wrist. She felt her heart fluttering but thinks nothing of it and yet it made her smile
'No matter how much of a jerk you can be... I still-'

"Something on your mind?" Sebastian asked glancing back at her. Étoile shook her head
"Soo, why are we in a hurry?" She questioned

"Agni has left" He said

Étoile's mind began to be overflowing with questions
'Could he hang those men? Maybe he's just looking for someone. He doesn't seem the type to do such things. Does the prince know?'

Sebastian stopped at Ciel's studies, knocking on the door and letting himself enter when Ciel allows him to
"He has made his move"
"Great. Let's follow him" Ciel gets up from his chair and stretches. He looks behind Étoile and immediately got annoyed
"Wait take me with you!" Soma exclaimed making Étoile flinch

'Wait has he been behind us the whole time?!' She yanks her hand away from Sebastian's grasp
'He probably saw us! How embarrassing'

"Who lives here?" Soma asked Ciel as he stares at the large manor. Ciel leans against the brick wall, trembling when a snowflake fell on the tip of his nose
"This estate belongs to Harold West Jeb. He's imported various goods from India and owns several stores such as coffeehouses. I met him once, he's extremely obsessed with status" 

"People at his business have been hanged upside down. Mr. West happened to be away during these incidents" Sebastian replied. Ciel nodded his head, agreeing with Sebastian
"Now let's hurry. I'm beginning to freeze" Ciel crossed his arm to give himself some extra warmth
"I hope you don't mind if you also remove your foot off mines!" Étoile scowls Ciel, her foot is buried under the snow and underneath Ciel. He moves away from her and Étoile kicks herself out of the snow. The snow was tossed into the air and fell on top of Ciel's face
