We were on the steps as the door busted open to show Lady Elizabeth and Ella. "Ciel!" Lady Elizabeth said happily and ran over, spinning the young master excitedly. Ella walked over with a small giggle and stood beside me. "Good afternoon, my dear." I said with a smile as she walked over. She smiled and stood on her toes then leaned forward and wrapped her arms around my neck, causing me to blush a little and wrapped my arms around her. I hugged her with a little squeeze as she kissed my cheek.

She pulled away and fixed a necklace of a paw print locket. "What's this for, darling?" I asked curiously and opened it to show a photo of her happily holding a snow white cat with a bright smile. "It's just something I saw and made me think of you. If you don't like it, I can-" "I will wear it with honor, my dear." I said and bowed with a smile before pulling her close and kissing her cheek. "Here this is for you! From me and Ella. Open it, okay? I can't wait!" Lady Elizabeth said as we looked over to her and the young master as he held a small red box. "Actually, I'm giving his gift later, but she wanted to say it was from us since we found it together." Ella whispered softly with a small smile.

Lady Elizabeth stopped and grabbed his hand as he moved the ribbon. "Hold on a minute. I thought I broke this ring a while ago." She said, looking at his ring that I fixed. "Well fortunately, Sebastian was able to repair it." The young master said as she looked at him. "That's impossible! It was chipped! I don't even see a single crack!" She said and inspected it. "That is true, but if I couldn't do something so simple-" "Then what kind of butler would he be really?" Ella cut me off, crossing her arms with a smirk and looked at me as I softly chuckled.

"You took the words out of my mouth, my dear." I said and bowed to her with a smirk. "Oh, he fixed it. That's fantastic news." Lady Elizabeth said sadly and looked down. "My lady, are you alright?" Her maid asked softly as Ella shook her head. "I couldn't exactly tell her how Ciel's ring was fixed. But I thought it would make a good gift to match him." She said softly, shifting her weight to her leg. "So ladies, what do you have in the box then?" I asked as Lady Elizabeth looked surprised. "It's nothing! It's a secret!" She said, grabbing the box back. "A secret? But you just tell me to open it, didn't you?" The young master asked.

"I was teasing you, silly." Lady Elizabeth said with a smile. "Teasing me?" The young master asked with confusion. "No proper lady would try to win a gentleman with simple material things. That would be unseemly. Now are you ready, Paula? Ring the bells." She said as Paula looked at her. "Oh yes, my lady. Jingle, jingle, jingle." Paula said and rung bells. "Well, that's all! Bye!" Lady Elizabeth said and hurried out. "I better make sure she's okay." Ella said and kissed my cheek before following them. After making the young master his supper, the phone rung.

"Hello, Phantomhive Manor." I said with a small smile. "Lady Elizabeth and Lady Ella are gone!" Paula's voice rung out. "What do you mean gone?" I asked with concern. "We were stuck in traffic. I looked away for one second and both were gone!" She said with worry. "Alright. Thank you for the information. I will pass it on." I said and hung up before going to the young master's study, grabbing a letter on the way. I stopped told him the information I got. "Ella and Elizabeth have disappeared?" The young master asked with concern.

"Yes. Her maid said she had lost track of them when they were stuck in traffic in Eastland." I said as he stood up. "Then that's where we are heading. Honestly, what were they thinking?" He asked a but angrily. "I think you should look at this." I said as he looked at the letter on the tray. He grabbed it and opened it up before reading it. "Scotland Yard has been investigating a series of kidnappings. The targets are always young girls. They're bodies have not turned up yet, but they're most likely dead." He said, placing a hand on his chin in thought.

"The kidnapper sends a piece of the Hope Diamond to each of his victims before taking them. The very diamond said to bring a curse upon whoever owns it. The diamond we've been recently chasing after. Who knew we'd hear about it again like this." He said and scanned the Queen's letter. "If I may, master, we need to find the girls quick before something happens." I said, growing a little impatient and worried. "Yes, let's get going." He said as I grabbed his coat and helped put it on him.
