Black Heart

Chapter 2: His Sister, Disgusted

Sebastian looked as though I had five heads.

"The young master will surely find out your secret this way, my lady." He said pouring my Earl Grey tea.

"I'll just tell him I met a man in town who saved me from getting robbed and I wanted to repay him with dinner." I said taking a sip of my brother's favorite tea.

"He'll wonder why you wouldn't want to invite him here." Sebastian said as though he wanted an argument.

"I wouldn't want my savior to be afraid since I am a rich woman." I said looking straight into Sebastian's maroon eyes.

"If you insist, my lady. And I suggest you get ready for Lady Elizabeth's visit. She is coming in an hour." Sebastian said with a sigh.

"Oh how wonderful... She'll dress me up in pink again won't she?" I said burying my face in my hands.

I did not like Lizzie at all. We were polar opposites. I might just hide from her the whole afternoon until my date with William comes.

"Go tend to my brother, you are dismissed from my presence." I said waving him out. I needed time to think of what to do about this evening with Will.

I despised him. Why on God's green Earth did I say yes?

What kind of Phantomhive am I?

I haven't loved a man since...

Then it hit me.

My fiancee had been taken by the Reapers... Since we aren't allowed to fall in love.

But why can I not remember him?!

I took a sip of the tea when I heard squealing on the first floor.

I thought Lizzie was coming in an hour.

------------------------------------------------------

Apparently, Ciel thought so too. He was in bed reading Romeo and Juliet. Sebastian quickly went upstairs to dress him and left me alone with Elizabeth.

"Oooh, I can't wait to marry Ciel!!! I'll get to live in this mansion with him! Or we could go live in America! That sounds amazing!"

I almost screamed. "You two are staying here in England."

Lizzie was always afraid of me. But this time she literally jumped out of her seat.

"B-but, America is supposed to be so pretty and the toys are even cuter!" She said making that most annoying squeal.

"I don't care. My brother has to run buisness here. He can't move on just a moment's notice." I said trying not to lose my temper. Which I only had around her.

"Oh, who cares? You can find someone else can't you? Why not your husband when you find one?"

I almost threw my butter knife that I was slicing my butter with at her.

"Don't you dare. Say that again. Or I will-"

"CIIIEEEELLLL!!!" Elizabeth ran into my brother's arms and swung him around.

Ciel looked as thrilled as I was. I felt bad for him. He had a lot on his shoulders. And Lizzie was just another problem.

He also had to decide who I would marry. Since my father wasn't here to choose and my fiancee had dissapeared and the Reapers had probably killed him. But he didn't know that I was a Reaper so he searched for men suitable for me as much as he could.

After Lizzie left I went upstairs to change.

"Annalisse?" Ciel called from the bottom of the stairs.
