Black Heart

Chapter 6: His Sister, Dead

I sat there and watched as Alois and Claude left. Sebastian walked through the gardens to come find me again.

"My lady, would you like to return to the mansion?" Sebastian asked.

I thought about what Alois had said about the drink. Ciel could be writing invitations to the wedding now!

"Yes, we must hurry too." I said climbing onto Sebastian's shoulder.

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

I ran into my brother's office. He was writing something down.

"Cancel the wedding! Alois put something in your drink!" I yelled.

Ciel looked at me with a confused face. "When did I announce that you two are officially engaged?"

"But you're writing invitations..."

"To what? I'm writing a letter to Alexander on how strange you've been acting lately. Maybe he'll know what to do..." Ciel sighed. "Sebastian checked the drinks for anything before we walked into the kitchen. Whatever Alois put in my drink would've been taken out."

"So... I'm not getting married to Alois?" I asked.

"I haven't decided."

"He is pure evil, Ciel. I'm not going to marry him. I want to marry a man I love."

"But what if you do not love a nobleman?" Ciel asked.

"Well... I shall become less than what I am now. I would do anything for love."

"But you don't love anymore." Ciel said flatly.

"That's a lie." I said walking out.

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

I looked at my invitation Ronald had just given me.

He had planned a Shinigami Dispatch Team Party...

Not another one...

"So, you're coming right, Annalisse?" Everyone seemed to ask me. I responded yes but I wasn't going to show up.

Grell was in his office, which happened to be next to mine. "I hate this office... It's all brown and boring. I want it to be red!"

We're usually never in our offices, but today I had a lot of paperwork to do and apparently so did Grell.

Grell came in my office. "Hi, Anna."

I looked up from my paperwork glaring. "Hello, Grell."

"You're turning into William, you know." He said sitting on my desk.

"Get off of my desk. Will you?" I said with another glare.

"Are you coming to the party too?"

"Why don't you ask Ronald? Or Eric? Or Alan? Or anyone but me?" I said with my voice shaking.

"But I'm wondering about you, not them." He said grinning.

"To be honest, since I have to be truthful with you. No I am not. I told everyone else yes." I adjusted my glasses like William would. Grell was right for once. I was turning into my evil boss.

"Does that mean you have a date with William?" He looked at me intently.

"No. If I never have to do that again it'll be too soon." I said sighing.

"Good. Because I'm still deciding between him and Bassy."

"Okay, you got what you wanted. Now get out of my office and actually do some work." I said growling.
