When I wake up, Ciel and his demon butler are sitting beside me. Ciel crosses his legs and motions for Sebastian to serve me some tea. For a second, I am utterly shocked and confused as to why Ciel was next to me before I remember yesterday's tea with the Queen. I convulse as the knowledge hits me again. Carnell was dead. My guardian, the one that trained me to be a top-rate fighter, who taught me to speak ten languages, who showed me how to act in any situation in order to become the best so I could serve the Queen. Dead. A wave of memories sweep through me and I sob into the sleeve of the flimsy nightgown I had on. Two, three seconds pass before I gather myself again. No, Carnell wouldn't have wanted me to be like this. He would've told me to suck it up and deal with it. "As long as you are still alive, you can keep going." , as he often said. Suddenly, I feel the demon's hand on my back, awkwardly trying to console me. Gripping his hand, I twist it backwards until he jerks his hand out of my grasp. I lift my head and glare at Ciel and his butler. I won't be weakened by something like this. If only, it'll make me stronger.
"What am I doing here?" I say, twisting my mouth into a frown. "And why am I wearing a bloody nightgown?" Ciel shifts awkwardly in his chair, obviously disturbed by my sudden change in attitude. The demon bends down and offers me a cup of tea. I grab the handle of the delicate cup, spit in the tea, and throw it at the butler's face. "Demon! "I yell. Ciel's eyes visibly widen, surprised that I knew about his little secret while his butler's eyes begin to glow. Oops. I leap out of bed but tumble to the floor when I trip over my nightgown.
"Wait, Sebastian." Ciel say, raising his hand. "Cana, How do you know about that?" I sighed, and climbed up from the floor.
"Carnell taught me to recognize Underworld beings at sight. Strangely enough, all demons look almost the same." I say with contempt, hissing when the demon tries to help me up.
"Milady-" The demon begins
"Don't Milady me! I'm not your lady! Pedophile!" With that, I kick the demon and try to run out of the room, only to trip over my stupid nightgown again. I groan and stop fighting for a moment. No matter how hard I try to forget it, I can't stop thinking about Carnell. Nothing I do can bring him back, and for a second, I let go of all my pretenses and barriers. I'm tired of staying strong, and I am terrified at the thought of Carnell being gone. I sob into the ground, memories of my guardian in my mind, and at the moment, I couldn't care less about what anyone else had to say.

Thank you for reading! This chapter was rather uneventful, I'll try to make the next chapter more interesting.
Quote of the chapter: "And why am I wearing a bloody nightgown?"
Translation: I'll bloody kill whoever stripped me!
Used when: you wake up in a nightgown that you yourself did not change into
