I sighed and disassembled and cleaned my gun to calm myself down. What was going on, with me? What was going on in this mansion? There was something off about that Earl.

There was a crash upstairs and Lady Elizabeth screamed. I quickly assembled my gun and ran up to the main level. Master Ciel was lying over Elizabeth to protect her and Finny and Bard were unconscious. Not to mention the entire west part of the foyer was gone.

Had they come for me or Lady Elizabeth? I saw a man walk through the hole and I readied my gun. Something struck him and he fell. Another figure ran towards me and I shot him in the head.

Someone tackled me from the side and yelled "Get down!" before another explosion went off.

With my ears ringing I opened my eyes to look into the black lined crimson eyes of the thorn in my side. He was so close to me that his long fringed black hair was brushing my face.

I wiggled my way out from under him and checked my gun.

"There is more of them coming. Go to the roof and keep them from getting any closer," he ordered. Usually I would scoff at his orders but I was used to taking orders in these circumstances. I ran to the roof and found it fully stocked with long range rifles.

I smiled, this was perfect. I grabbed one gun and lined up my first shot. there was a mob of guys coming toward the estate. Quickly I greatly decreased their numbers. I never missed a shot.

In some twisted way this was calming. This was normal. This was the most in my element I felt. I was used to being a mindless killer.

Soon after I had been through three shells I saw Sebastian running out of the door and going into close combat with the invaders. I would cover him. as he ripped through the numbers anyone who would get close to him or the house I would shoot.

Soon it became a contest between us. I was going through more shells than I ever had before. Soon the battle was over.

I returned down stairs to find a frantic Sebastian. I ran over to him to find the source of his anguish.

"Where is the young master?" he asked.

"I don't know I thought you took care of his security," I jeered.

"I locked him in the study with lady Elizabeth and now they are gone." He explained.

"You must have let someone slip by you while I was climbing the stairs," I concluded.

"Is that so? Or maybe it was while you were sulking in your room," he hissed.

"Are you trying to pin the blame on someone else Mr. Michaelis?" I challenged.

"You and I are alike in that aspect," he

leered.

"Mr. Sebastian!" Finny cried running over to us obviously woken up from his unconscious state.

"What?" he snapped at the poor gardener.

"Master Ceil! I can't find him!" he gasped.

Sebastian and I exchanged looks. "I'll take the left wing," I said before running off to climb the stairs.

"Mey Rin stop I already know that the Earl is no longer on the property," Sebastian called stopping me.

"Then let's get in a carriage and go after him!" I cried.

"Yes, I'll go get the horses!" Finny ran outside to the stables.

"How is it that you know that the master is no longer here?" I questioned searching his expression,

"Because I am simply one hell of a butler," he smirked before disappearing out the back door to help Finny.

"Oh and it might be wise to wear your men's clothes. You need to be very mobile," Sebastian called.

I surprising did as I was told. I added a hat to hide my hair and face in case it was my organization.

I smirked and walked over to Bard who still lay on the floor. I gently shook him away and disarmed him as he shoved a gun in my face.

"Oh sorry," he sighed.

"We have to go." I said pulling the man to his feet.

"Why?" he asked wincing and holding his head.

"The master has been kidnapped," his eyes went wide in disbelief.

We rushed outside and hastily jumped into the carriage.

I leaned out of the carriage and called out to Sebastian.

"Where are we going!?" I hollered.

"Don't worry about it," he snapped. I could see he was worried and he kept rubbing the back of his hand.

There was definitely something weird about him. Something that made me say don't trust him.

After too long the carriage stopped. Finny, Bard, and I all filed out and took in our surroundings. We stood in front of a factory. There was a large sign on the side that said Funtom Toys.

"They took him to one of his own factories?" Finny gasped.

"Yes now secure the perimeter," Sebastian ordered. Finny took the left, Bard took the right and I went straight with Sebastian.

Before long we were surrounded by about ten men and growing.

"Can you handle this?" Sebastian asked.

"My pride is damaged by the fact you had to ask that of me," I smirked. Sebastian jumped from where he stood and ran along the railing of the upper level.

A few men fired at him but I didn't have time to look because twice as many bullets were being aimed at me.

I dodged them and guarded myself with my gun. Then I flipped over their heads and shot 4 in the head.

When I landed some of them rushed me and I cut them down easily. I was a little sad to be back in my men's clothes but it was easier to move.

"Hey you little bastard! Stay still!" one called. I shot two more and started advancing on the ground. within another few minutes all of them were dead.

I was about to run after Sebastian but he appeared through the door holding the Earl in his arms.

Something struck me.

"Sebastian do you think it was wise to leave Lady Elizabeth there with only Tanaka as protection?" I asked.

"We need to secure her safety!" he said hastily running to the carriage. It was weird he had never made a mistake. I just remembered what he said he had only been serving the Phantomhive household for six months.

We all hurried to the house once we arrived we searched the house. The whole scene was way too calm and quiet.

"There is no sign of either of them!" Finny cried.

There was a coughing sound coming from under the stairs and I ran to investigate. Before I could break the lock on the door the knob turned and a small gray head stumbled out of the door holding on tightly to a taller girl with two blonde pig tails.

Before rationality kicked in I threw my arms around both if them.

"I was so worried about you! Are you alright!?" I cried in my fake voice, which sadly was becoming way too easy to slip into.

"Yes Mey Rin we are fine. you can release us now," Ciel huffed as a slight blush crept to his face.

Shocked by my own actions I let to of the young pair and straightened my skirt. Ot seemed without my consent this child's presence was growing in my heart. I saw myself in his deep azure eyes.
