It comes as no surprise that Elizabeth locked herself back up in her room after the funeral. Not wanting to do anything I decided to go take a walk, it doesn't take me long to get downtown and from there I just wander aimlessly for awhile. I'm just about to head back until someone grabs me from behind, spins me around and sucker punches me. The air is pushed out of lungs but I stay on my feet. I noticed that there are three of them, the second guy swings for my head when I feel something in my gut go taunt and then air fills my lungs and the world moves in slow motion. I duck under the fist for my head and land one of my own, feel his ribs shift and break under my hand. The man who started this fight swings next, I decide to just sweep his legs out and go at the last man he pulls a knife out of jacket. The feeling in my stomach goes taunt again but this time I feel like I can control, but I can also feel the power inside me. The power of creature. Like a fox, clever and quick to act nimbly and fast. Reality comes back and I push the power away I can't snap now,  no not now. The last man goes for an over head stab which I grab step through and dislocated his shoulder knife in hand and walk away.

As I travel back to the manor I ponder what caused the rush of power, because it should have appeared when Celia showed up maybe Tristan would still be alive. Instead of thinking about the past a start think about what tomorrow will bring and how long it will take Elizabeth to ask. Well there's use in waiting. Then I start to think about how she got the book, I mentally retract her steps then I understand, while we thought she's was locked in her room she has snuck out one night.

I arrive back at the manor to see that Lizzy is still up, we head up to balcony and I explain my theory. "I think Elizabeth is going to make contract, either with me, Isaac or someone else." Lizzy gives me a slightly confused expression but I continue to explain. "When I entered her room to get her today there was a book called Symbols and Contracts, if that's not enough proof there were papers everywhere with symbols drawings." I know that Lizzy is trying to find a flaw in it but is unable to and gives in. "Ok but we'll wait to see." 

I give her a quick kiss before I head off to bed. As I pull on my night shirt I weight of the day falls on my shoulders, and it take all the energy I have left to not sleep on the floor.

The morning comes quickly, I'm up before anyone so I head to the kitchen and start cooking so old pancake. As I do this I start to feel homesick, even though I don't want leave Lizzy I miss my real family.

The apple pancake doesn't take long, the tea finishes just as I pull the pancake out of the oven. I pour the syrup into a dish and make my cup of tea. Just as I sit down Elizabeth comes into the room with a book stuffed with papers in it. I read the cover and my theory is proved. 

"Morning Elizabeth would you like a cup of tea." She nods at me and I fix her cup. "So what's with the book." She sets the book on the table and takes sip of her tea. "I want to make a contract to avenge Tristan's death." I grab the books and start flipping though the book. "I don't have half a mind on how." 

"Think back to Black Butler and figure it out." 

"Ok let's head out to the backyard and we'll try this. 

We both finish are tea and head outside. Elizabeth shuts her eyes and starts to talk. "Gabriel form a contract with me, help me avenge Tristan's death." It doesn't seem like it will work but it does, the area turns dark and somehow I know where I touch is where the contract goes. I step behind and lay my hand the back of her neck. She squirms as tries to move but is unable. It takes about a minute for the contract symbol to burn in. I feel a burning in my left hand and glance down. A red symbol burns into my hand, just as it finishes the world returns to normal. I look and down at my hand and examine the symbol it looks a nothing like Phantomhive's but it's my symbol. Elizabeth looks at me and I show her the hand. We head back in just as Lizzy walks into the. 


Lizzy's P.O.V

I see Elizabeth and Gabriel coming into the manor and I glance at the two of them, then I see Gabriel's hand I feel my fave flush, I try and look away but not before Gabriel sees it. 


Gabriel's P.O.V 

Lizzy's flushes when she sees the hand, great, this is going to be a fun conversation later.  I think to myself we all sit down at the table. Then Lizzy asks. 

"So what happens now."
