Truth and Hope or Lies and Despair

Chapter Eight "Angel"

~* Venus's POV *~

"Where do you think you're going?"

I stood my ground as I stared him down. My eyes fell upon the set of keys he had hooked around his belt loop. I bet that one of those keys is Ciel's key for his lock. How should I obtain it?

"Oh, I was just taking a stroll," I said sarcastically. He chuckled at my lie.

I took a step towards him. "Was it really all a lie?"

I kept walking towards him, expecting him to answer.

"Too be honest, yes. It was a lie," Liam stated.

I formed a quick plan in my mind. But in order to achieve this plan, I would have to act way out of my character. I sighed but did it anyways.

"You know," I started, getting close to him, "I never loved you like a brother." This got his attention.

"I loved you, like something else," I continued. We were now face to face. I placed my hands on his chest. This is so out of my character...

"Venus, I never felt that way about you," he stated. My hands started to wonder, moving downwards.

"Oh really," I tried to act alluring. Thank goodness the Queen gave me a lesson on how to seduce men. If I hadn't gotten that lesson, I would have failed. Besides, I've done this before for a mission. I had to seduce a wealthy man and make him confess that he had murdered his wife. This is no difference, right?

He shoved my hands off. I inwardly smirked and hid my hands behind my back. I put the keys in my back pocket.

"I'm sorry, Liam. I wasn't being honest. Now I know how easy it is for you to lower your guard," I stated, holding his gun in my hand. I had to do this or else he would actually think I had feelings for him. He looked shocked before he became angry.

"Guards!" he shouted. I sighed, knowing he would have done that.

Men ran in before grabbing me as well as Liam's gun. I watched as they gave Liam back his gun. But what they don't know is that I placed a tracker on it. After I escape, I will know his exact location.

I was thrown back into my cell. The Earl stared at me in disappointment.

"You didn't obtain the key?" he asked.

"No, I did not get a key," I stood up. "I obtained multiple keys." I took out the set of keys.

"Thank goodness," he sighed in relief.

I quickly hid the keys as the door opened. I stared at Liam in boredom as he made his way in front of my cell.

"That was quite a stunt you did there," he said, his voice clouded with anger.

"I had to get it done," I shrugged.

I grew suspicious as he smirked and suddenly turned to Ciel.

"Earl Phantomhive, do you know any of Venus's secrets?" Liam questioned.

Oh great, one more person who will know.

"No, I do not," Ciel glared but I could see the curiosity growing in his eyes.

"Did you know that she doesn't even need glasses? She can see perfectly fine without them," Liam smirked.

I froze. I don't want anyone to know about it.

"When she takes off her glasses, she has a completely different personality. The Venus you know right now, the cold and expressionless one, is her personality with the glasses. Her personality is completely different if you take them off," Liam revealed.
