Undertaker's Child

May I have this dance?

It has been two weeks since a fire set a blaze in London and five days after that since I went outside. My dad keeps telling me to go out but I don't want to. I leave my bed to go get a biscuit from the main shop room, to see a letter slide under the door. I picked up the letter and it read:

There is to be a ball tonight at the Phantomhive manor. I hope to see you there (f/n). I'll explain everything. -S

I quickly opened the door to try and see who had left it but when I did the light blinded me. Once my eyes adjusted I looked around and saw no one in sight. I closed the door in dissatisfaction. "Should I go?" Who is S? I walked back into my room pondering about who S could be and why they would want me to go to a ball. Phantomhive... That name is so familiar. Then it hit me. That boy... What was his name... Ciel. He is a Phantomhive, THE Phantomhive. Suddenly I remembered him. His Butler, the demon... Sebastian. S... Would that mean Sebastian? I studied the note further seeing it said they would explain everything. Explain... everything. All I ever have are questions. All I've wanted for at least a week now were answers. "Dad has been going out everyday, doing hell knows what, and every time I ask him a question, he always avoids answering me." I say to myself pacing back and forth across the room. Sighing I hide the note under my pillow and look into my closet looking for something to wear then placing the black clothes on my bed I heard the bell ring to the shop. "(f/n) I'm home." Do I tell him? Would he let me go? I slowly walk out of my room. "Hello dad." I say when I walk into the room. "Ah! (f/n), I see you finally left your room." He said teasingly. "Well I needed to eat eventually." I joked back. "Speaking of leaving... I was umm wondering if... " I stuttered looking for the right words to say. He looked at me dead in the eye "You want to go to the Phantomhive ball." How the fu- I *coughs* "yes." I said back at him realizing how serious he looked. "Well, if you are asking for permission the answer is no." He said turning around to go behind his desk. "Why?" I asked still standing in the same place he left me. "Because it's too dangerous. I don't want you anywhere near the Phantomhive, or his Butler." I knew I couldn't argue. He was right he is a demon and all. I know they are dangerous. Before I could speak he spoke up, for me. "On the other hand... I know that it won't stop you. Neither I, nor him have the power to do that." I smiled listening to his raspy voice. "Thank you!" I yelled kissing him on the cheek as I basically ran back into my room to put on my formal attire. Taking the note back from under my pillow, making sure to take the note with me.

Time skip to after the carriage ride. ~Brought to you by Angela... Yeah that b*tch, for some reason.~

I finally arrived at the Phantomhive manor as nervous as possible at that point. I stepped out of the carriage to see a beautiful white building. I was now not just nervous, but also intimidated. I realized I was stuck in stare when I felt that someone was watching me. I walked in the beautiful doors to see so many people dancing and enjoying themselves. I saw food tables and drinks and then I saw him. The Butler himself talking to the young Phantomhive. I looked away finding something to say and trying to get the nerve to go up to him when suddenly *WHAM* a girl with round glasses ran into me with plates, and we both fell to the floor. "Oh my! I'm so sorry, yes I am!" She says loudly as we get up off the floor realizing I had shut my eyes as we fell. I opened them to see the red haired girl all flustered. "It's ok" I said back. I noticed that the plates she was holding were not on the ground but that they were in Sebastian's hands who was right in front of us. 'How did he...' "I'd like to formally apologize for the actions of our maid Meyrin and any inconveniences she may have caused you." He said looking back into my eyes. He sounded very classy. "It's alright." I said looking down to break his gaze. 'I've already made a fool of myself, without even dancing at this stupid ball.' I started to walk away in a hurry seeing as I still don't have the nerve to ask him when, "I don't recall your name on the guest list, am I mistaken?" He says after he puts the plates down. 'Wait so he wasn't the one who sent the note?' "Umm" was all that could escape my mouth until a familiar voice spoke out from behind me. "(f/n) is my plus one." I turned to see the suit and tie I know all to well. "Oh, my apologies (f/n)." He bowed and gave William a puzzled look and walked away. I looked back at William "So... Do you two know each other?" I said to him while he was giving Sebastian a dirty look. "Yes. I recently helped Mr. Michaelis on an assignment." He said in his usual unamused voice. "Well at least I didn't literally run into you this time." I said laughing a bit. "No, but someone else did run into you" he noted as we walked towards the tables in a corner of the room. I stopped walking to get the note out of my pocket. Once he noticed this he stopped as well. "Is this yours? Did you put this note under my door?" I asked him holding up the note. "Yes." He said turning around again. Ah so the S stands for Spears. "In the note it says you will explain everything. What does that mean?" I said standing my ground. "Not here." Is all he replied with, and soon enough I followed him into the corner of the room with a few tables. I soon see Grell in the corner we are headed to. 'Oh. Is he? No... Well... The reapers I saw at the library all had suits glasses and... Green eyes, like me. He has...' *sigh* The next thing I knew I had a Grell pounce on my like a wild raccoon. "(f/n)!!!!  ITS SOOOO GOOD TO SEE YOU! You were talking to my bassy!!~ don't get any ideas. HES MINE! " He went on and all I heard William say was "So you two know each other?" I gave him a look like 'get this thing off me' and he lifted Grell off me with ease. I got off the floor patting down my clothes and sat down at the table. Grell then ran off to Sebastian who was standing on the stairs while I sat there going. 'Well... This is awkward.'

He lied to me. They all lied to me.
