The One I Need (Ciel PhantomhiveXreader ) sequel to The One I Love

Return

You sit up and around you is a meadow with wind blowing atop the grass. You look around at your surroundings. A forest of trees behind you and a small hill a little ways in front of you. You stand up and decide to try to make it over to the hill I order to be able to see more of the area.

You start walking and you've taken about 10 steps before you fall down into a hole. But when you looks around you, you see that it's actually a ravine. You look down to where you are falling and see pitch black darkness below you -or was it above you? You couldn't tell when you were falling.

'Yes, this is exactly what happened last time,' You think to yourself, 'Oh wait! But I should be scared.'

You squeeze your eyes shut and scream in pretend fear as you fall into the dark, bottomless ravine.

After a little ways of falling, You finally feel some type of ground beneath you. A dusty, dirt ground beneath you. You open your eyes and take in your surroundings.

You are sitting in the middle of a dirt road. The same road that you and your friends appeared the very first time you arrived here. You still had the necklace that Ciel gave to you around your neck and You aren't wearing your nightgown from the last time you were here. Instead, you were wearing a (f/c) dress.

That got you wondering, was it picking up were you last were? Or had time moved on? Well you wouldn't find out by sitting on a road in the middle of nowhere, so you decided to go back to the castle. If time was were you last were, the guards would probably still checking the castle for Grace, Erin, Kaija, and You.

"So if memory serves me right, the castle is that way," You announce to yourself as you point in one direction. "Okay, let's go."

You start walking that direction on the path. As you walk, a slight summer breeze comes by and blows atop the green grass. You feel your feet slightly sink into the dirt road as you walk since it isn't concrete like you're used to.

You had been walking for quite sometime and still no castle. You look behind you just to make sure your going the right way. Then you spot someone on a cart with two mules riding the same way you're going.

"E-excuse me sir?" You say as he rides by.

He stops his cart and looks down at you in your noble dress and diamond necklace. You can see that he has produce in his cart.

'He's probably heading to London to sell all his food for money, maybe I could hitch a ride and make my way to the castle from there," You think to yourself.
"Um, could I perhaps catch a ride on your cart? I have been walking for a very long time," You ask as nicely and politely as you can.
"Well, I don't know how much my mules can take," The man says still deciding.
"Please? I don't weigh that much," You plead.
"I'm sorry deary, but I don't think I can," the man says. He then starts to ride away.
"No! Wait! I'm a friend of the Queen!" You shout.
"Sure ya are," The guy says unconvinced.
"No! The one that just got crowned! Queen Erin! I went to see her off for-" You say, making up the last part.

You seem to catch the man's attention and he slows down his mules.

"See her off?" The man questions, "the Queen would never leave her country."
"Yes, well, did you hear she wasn't from Britain?" You ask walking aside the man and his cart.
"Yes, I did hear that," The Man answers giving your explanation a little more thought.
"Well I went to see her off because she was going back to America to bring her family here," You say.
"But why did she leave? Couldn't she have just sent a letter?" The Man asks.
"Yes, I suppose so, but I assume she wanted to say goodbye to her friends and to see the scenery one last time," You inform, "You know us girls, always about the prettiness of the scenery."
"Yes I know very well," The Man says, "I have my wife to remind me everyday."
"And since Queen Erin is off, she put me in charge until she returns," You inform.
"Is that really true?!" The Man asks astonished.
"Yes sir, I bet you this diamond necklace that if you drop me off at the Queen's castle they would let me in," You boldly say.
"What if you're right and I lose?" The Man questions.
"Than I shall thank you for bringing me to the castle," You reply. "There really is nothing to lose sir, and the most you will gain is a diamond necklace."
"Alright you got me you sly child, hop in, and you better keep your promise on that bet," The Man says.
"Of course sir, I never lie," You lie as you climb into the cart.

The man drives his cart -with you sitting in it on top of the produce- along the road, through the city of London and right up to the castle's gates.

"Remember that bet, deary," The Man says as he helps you down from the cart.
"Yes sir," You reply as your feet touch the ground.

You walk up to the guards standing at the gate, hoping to not lose the necklace Ciel gave to you.

"Um, excuse me, may I enter the castle? I am Lady (Y/n) (L/n), friend of Queen Erin," You say with a hint of anxiety in your voice.

The guards look down at you.

"You're one of then missing friends of the Queen!" One guard says in shock.
"Yes, please enter the castle, there will be servants and guards to instruct you from there," The other one says.
"OPEN THE GATES! LADY (Y/N), FRIEND OF THE QUEEN HAS BEEN FOUND!!" The first guard shouts.

Then the gates slowly start opening. As the they do, you turn to the man who has an astonished expression on his face.

"Thank you for taking me to the castle," You say with a smile, "I told you I never lie."
"Well, you are one special lady, much more special than I ever would think," The man says tipping his hat, "I should get going before I'm late to selling, have a good day."
"Yes, thank you! And you too!" You say after him as he rides away.

You then turn around to the gates which are now fully opened. You walk through them and enter the castle.
