Avenging Annie (Black Butler FanFic) ~Book One~

Time to Go Home

Silence overcame us as the hush of the wind blew our hair back behind our shoulders. Sebastian and Ciel glared at Grell, anger burning in their eyes. I stared at him as well, until I finally turned toi look at Sebastian.

"I-Is that true?" I asked. Sebastian turned his eyes to stare at me, his eyes burning with fury. I hunched myself over like a dog who knew they were in trouble. I shot him a look of being frightened as his eyes burned at my skin, making it seem like he was getting agrier by the moment.

My heart thudded against my chest as he stepped forward and closer to me. I gulped, my baby blue eyes still staring down at the ground. He bent his slender body over, putting his face directly in front of mine.

"Yes, its true." He answered, his hard stare turning into a friendly smile. I sighed in relief, relaxing my muscles and sitting straight up. He held out a gloved hand and smiled. I grabbed it, lifting up my wieght and standing upright.

Ciel walked over to Sebastian's side. "Now that she know's our secret, what should we do with her?" He asked, glaring at me with a hard, stone-cold blue eye.

"Why should we do anything? I see no harm in her knowing." He replied.

Ciel simply sighed. "Fine then."

"What shall we do with Mr. Sutcliffe, then, Master? He has no home." Sebastian pointed out.

Ciel thought for a moment longer then turned. "He'll stay at the manor. He can have a home and we can keep a watch on him there as well." Grell shot his head up, smiling wide.

Sebastiian nodded. "Excellent reasoning. We shall head home at once. Since there is now four of us, and we have three horses, seems two of us shall carpool. Master? Who would they be?"

Ciel answered as quick as he could. "Im not carpooling. You need to lead. Grell and RIley will go together." He turned his head to me and winked, as is he knew I wanted it.

But did I?

Sebastian smiled, handing me the reins to the horse I had ridden the day before. "Have a nice trip."

I rolled my eyes and smirked as Grell hopped up onto the horse and held out his hand. "Shall we go, darling?" He stated. I nodded, taking his hand and hopping up onto the horse. I wrapped my slender arms around him and blushed lightly. We rode over to one side of the clearing and waited for Ciel and Sebastian to meet us there.

Ciel struggled to mount the stallion as usual. He cursed at the horse for reasons that made no sense. He cursed at it for being to tall, though it was smaller that the average pony. I chuckled as Sebastian noticed and had to dismount his to go help Ciel.

"I can do it by myself!" Ciel hissed, smacking Sebastian's hand away.

"Just let me do it, Master!" Sebastian retorted, slinging Ciel over the back of the horse. He handed him the reins and snickered. "Now go over there and wait for me."

Ciel rolled his eyes. "Bite me." He scowled, kicking the horse and making it walk over to us.

"Have some trouble?" Grell sneered.

Sebastian rode over, taking the lead and smirking. "I think that was more than trouble." He answered, riding over to us and flying past. Grell caught up quickly, though Ciel had a bit of trouble.

This was going to be a long ride.......
