Alex's Sister

Chapter 8

This is what really happened, and I wanna start Book of Murder..
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Lorna~

He grabs my chin with his cold, wet, hand and slowly leans in.

My LipGiNitY wiLL bE StoLEN!

Before I could do anything, Ciel is pulled away and handed a towel. He looks around, maybe confused, and slowly drys his hands. "I sincerely apologize for my master's behavior, I believe he needs to retire for the night." A silky smooth voice, laced with grace and amusement.

I turn my head to see that it's none other than Sebastian. That really should have been obvious, I mean, who else would even apologize like that? "Sincerely." Psh.

I glance at Ciel and Sebastian, wiping my hands on my dress.

"It's whatever, but I think I have to go find Axel, yeah, later."

Sebastian has that stupid closed eye smile, while Ciel is frowning toward the ground.

Why?

3rd POV --------

Lorna made her way down the stairs, more elegantly as possible so she wouldn't relive what happened the first time she was careless, trying to find her friend. She couldn't exactly understand why Ciel was acting so strangely. Sure, she caused him a problem, but that gives him no right to act the way he was.

Before the accident, Ciel paid her no mind, he should still be suspicious of her. He doesn't for sure know anything about her, when she knows everything about them. She knows that this isn't really a world, while they think this is reality. Even if she was to show them the truth, would they still accept her?

Would Ciel accept her?

Lorna stopped. Why was she thinking of these things? Sure she was wise for her age and would occasionally read a book on psychology and philosophy once in a while, but, she never thought about what others would think of her. She never cared.

So why is she caring now?

When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she could hear low music coming from the ballroom. Maybe the orchestra. Guests were supposed to be leaving at this time, so it was no surprise to her when she peeked b to see only a few people lingering by the champagne tower.

Sebastian made that with his damned Demon abilities.

Lorna spotted Axel by the tower, about to take a glass from the bottom just as Ciel and Sebastian arrived from wherever they came from.

"Axel, don-!"

But the tower fell, glass breaking on the floor, liquids making a large puddle, staining the tile floor with their scent.

Fortunately, no one was hurt but Axel had to help Sebastian clean the mess. Also most of the people left, is only a small handful saw the accident. When the mess was cleared, a large clap of thunder was heard. The remaining guest decided to leave then, but the storm was too great. Their carriages would arrive in the morning.

Lorna watched as Ciel, drying his damp hair, conversed with Sebastian.

Ciel knew French? Well, this is London. And maybe his hair got a little wet during the tower spill.

A man who was sitting by them at the time, only a few feet away heard their conversation and chuckled at the young lords insult toward one of the guests. Ciel heard this and smirked, bringing up his index finger toward his lips.

Lorna silently thanked whatever god there was since she was able to calm her blush.

At least that's what she thought.

Axel saw her blush, it left her face as quick as it arrived. Looking at her now examine the remainder of the appetizers, no one would have guessed that she blushed. But Axel knew her admiration toward Phantomhive. He just found it funny how she doesn't even know of it herself.

Axel turned his gaze to Sebastian, who was already looking at him. Axel tried to keep his gaze, his own little "staring contest" with the demon, but as soon as Sebastian's eyes flashed fuchsia, he also gave a suggestive smirk directly at Axel. Axel flushed, his usually pale cheeks heated with a rosy pink color.

"Damn, demonic bastard."

Another thunderclap.

"Come now, ladies and gentlemen. We have spare rooms. If you all would kindly follow me."

All the remaining guests followed Sebastian and Ciel while Axel and Lorna walked to their separate rooms, right after bidding each other Goodnight. Although, both didn't sleep right away. Both teenagers thought about their odd encounters.

Why is Ciel acting strange?

What the fuck was up with Sebastard?

A thunderclap louder than the others.

And then, there was a scream.

A scream of  bloody murder.

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

Okay, I died.  Clearly.

Anyway, another chapter. I don't know  how many people were waiting for this, or if anyone would even read this story.

I tried writing in third POV, and I want to move into Book Of Murder  for a few chapters.

Now I gotta rewatch it again.
