To say that Ciel was acting weird would be an understatement, he became a little more skeptical of mine and Aris's abilities the second she told him we are human.

She looked looked irritated by his assumption, I was confused but more aware.

There must be a reason as to why he believed we were demons. He has three other servants capable to hold a good fight and he knows they're human, yet he somehow assumed we're not human as well. He had to have been told that we're not human and the only person in this household that can affirm supernatural beings is Sebastian.

Now I'm not saying that Sebastian told Ciel that we're not human, but it's the best conclusion I have so far and it makes sense.

And if so, then why? Why would Sebastian lie? It wouldn't benefit him at all? Maybe he was just misguided....but this doesn't seem like a mistake he would make- he knows better than to make such a misguided mistake...

Or maybe, Ciel concluded that we're otherworldly because we are in fact from another world...that makes more sense, plus to have survived such an accident, it make sense at to how and why he had assumed something so outrageous.

My head cocked upwards as the imitated sound of a bird rang through the air, breaking my chain of thought. I knew what this meant:

'The target is in sight'

I crouched from the branch that I sat on. My eyes narrowing as I caught the silhouette of two horses. The journey here was long but fast, we had gathered enough info to the know he route this guy was taking so we perched ourselves in trees in waited, overall we took less than ten minutes to get here with a two minutes waiting period.

The coachman was unaware as he drove toward us, not even acknowledging our presence, it was easy to pounce on the top of the moving carriage without a sound. Aris and I stood side by side, I watched as she lunged at the man, knocking him out before taking control of the horses. I smirked as he got off course slightly, making the man's journey longer, before I jumped back, landing soundless on the rail between the two large wheels.

I was suprised to hear two voices, rather than one.

"What do you expect to get out of this, Damiano? You know Mr.Phantomhive won't give the company any more money, especially if he knows there is no longer a company!"

"You idiot! He'll never know I sold the East Indian company! It was doing poorly, I had to sell it, so technically, I am doing this child a favor, besides, once the little bastard gives me the money, I'll be out, richer than ever!"

I could feel my brows furrow as I listened in on their convo, feeling disgusted by these two men. To exploit master Ciel's money, not even that but to sell his company without his permission! That is disrespectful and piggish, tch.

Scowling as I heard the Italian men converse, I spat on the ground before pulling my leg back and swing it against the side of one of the back wheels.

I felt...untouchable, like time had no control over me as I jumped on top of the carriage once more. Running to Aris, I grabbed her hand and pulled her off as I jumped off the carriage. Just in time to see the wheel fly off and the carriage begin to wobble unstably .

The coachman woke up instantly and forced the horses to stop, the carriage was a mess. Aris and I took off, it only took a minute until the carriage was completely out of sight. My heart pounded against my chest, I felt free from any restrictions as Aris and I ran side by side, laughing at the man's misfortune. A warm feeling spread within me as I ran, the colors of the forest blending together behind us.After what felt like two minutes of running the manor came into view.

But that's not possible, that distance- we weren't on the carriage long enough to cross such a large distance, if anything we took a longer route. How'd we get here so fast? And that feeling, I've never felt anything so...exhilarating. As though nobody could catch up to me...

"Zi...does the mansions seem closer than before?" Aris questioned from behind me and I nodded cautiously.

"Maybe it has to do with being in another dimension...that has to be it..." I brushed off, but the feeling never died, if anything it grew within me and forced me to shiver eagerly. I felt pumped, but for what?

Shaking it off, I called Aris to follow me. We entered the manor, instantly heading toward Ciel's quarter, with more questions to ask than answers to give.

We stopped in front of the door, even I hesitated before knocking. Unsure of whether I should question the young master or leave it alone for now, both choices had there benefits, however, I wasn't given enough time to mile over my options when his voice sounded from the other side and Aris pushed open the double doors.

Ciel's head popped up with a surprised expression upon seeing us, but it was a rare look as his face became a clean slate immediately afterwards, as orbit had never changed.

"It has only been twenty minutes, have you done what I have asked of you two?" He questioned us,his hands folding beneath his chin as he awaited out response. We straightened up before I spoke.

"Yes, it seems that your 'guest' is attempting to mug you of your money, My Lord. He has sold the East Indian company, unauthorized, and plans to ask for more money- he is also incredibly disrespectful and may be arriving late due to complications with his...journey" I informed, faltering towards the end, feeling embarrassed as I now realized I shouldn't have sabotaged the man's carriage.

"Complications? Of what sort?" Ciel's blue eye narrowed and I offered him  a sheepish grin.

"Well, um, I got mad, and accidentally kicked the carriages wheel...off" I confessed, feeling my cheeks heat up childishly.

"Forgive me, My Lord, I did not mean to alter your plans with the guest" I quickly added, bowing.

"You shall not be reprimanded for your actions, however I advise that you not act on you own accord again, the two of you may turn in for the day, you have worked well, today" Ciel ordered, his praise brought a smile to my face, I felt accomplished!

But the smile fell as I remembered something.

"Actually...My Lord...we have a few questions, I know you are busy today, so tomorrow may we ask?" I opted.

"And I you, now I am busy, you may leave, and Azile, bring me Sebastian"

"Yes, young master" I bided before Aris and I exited the room.

Maybe...this isn't so bad...
