I was walking with Ciel and Sebastian up the stairs when the doors burst open. A figure in pink rushes up to Ciel and spins him around like a stuffed animal. Elizabeth was standing there with her maid behind her.

"Lizzie so good to see you" I say from behind Ciel.

"Rose!" She runs up to me and squeezes the life out of me. I practically had to pry her arms from my body. I could hear Sebastian snickering from behind me, laughing at my torture. "I'm so happy to see you!"

"You too" I wheeze and smile. She is such a strong little girl, it's surprising.

Elizabeth places a box in Ciels hand, telling him to unwrap it. When he does go to unwrap it Elizabeth grabs it again. Her maid rings some bells, then she quickly runs out the door dragging the poor maid along.

"Such an odd girl" I mutter.

"She came here to ring some bells for me" Ciel says very confused.

"Well your birthday is tomorrow master, I'm sure that's why she came" Sebastian says. "So what do you think? Shall we hold a birthday party?"

Ciel doesn't respond. He just looks very gloomy. I stand behind him and put my hands on his shoulders, trying to comfort him.

"Tomorrow is my birthday" he says to himself.

He seems to be remembering something, his eyes glazed over. I knew what he was thinking. He was remembering the fire, it happened on his birthday.

"This is ridiculous, bring me my tea" Ciel says while walking away.

"Right away" Sebastian bows his head and I stare at Ciel's back.

"What were you snickering about earlier?" I ask Sebastian, still looking in the direction Ciel went.

"Nothing my lady, just a thought in my head"

I scoff and walk out of the house, not bothering to put on a coat, and have Richard take me into town. The road was full of cars, meaning we weren't moving, so I get out of the carriage and walk around. I start hearing some music, the same music box I heard from the fair. I follow it down some alleys, and stop in front of a shop. There were dolls in the window.

I fiddle with my hands, not knowing if I should enter or not, and I feel something on my thumb. I look down to my hands and find the ring. I look back to the door and with newfound courage I step inside.

The same man with orange hair who had the music box was sitting on a chair, staring at the door.

"Welcome" he says. "I see that you have the ring"

I look down to the ring, it seemed to glow. When I looked back up the man was right in front of me, his fingers brushing my cheek.

"What lovely eyes and rosy cheeks you have" my eyes widen and I back away.

The clock chimes and I turn my head to look at it. There were figurines dancing around a platform. Then the music box started playing, on its own. The man leads me over to a seat and sits in the seat across from it, I remain standing.

"What brings you to my shop?"

"I heard the music box and followed" I walk around and look at the dolls. They all seemed so realistic. "Did you create these?" He simply nods his head. "They're beautiful. So very realistic"

I notice one doll in pink with blonde hair in ringlets tied in pigtails and green eyes wearing a bonnet. My eyes widen at the sight of it. It was an exact replica of Elizabeth.

"What the hell is going on here?" I growl but when I turn around the man had disappeared.

I try to open the door I entered from but it was locked. I turn around trying to find another exit but the man was back. "Such a beautiful specimen, I will make you into one of my dolls". He walks up to me but I grab the knife attached to the inside of my sleeve and stab his arm. When I expect blood only straw comes out. He doesn't seem fazed. I stand wondering what he was and he hits me over the head, knocking me unconscious.

I open my eyes and notice I'm sitting in a chair in front of a set of windows. The moon had risen and was shining in. Pluto was in his dog form and sitting in front of me. I try to move but I can't, it felt like I had been tied down to the chair. I'm only able to move my eyes.

I hear a door slam open and multiple sets of footsteps enter the room. Im lifted out of the seat by invisible strings, my arms spread out to the side of me. My mouth moves but it is not my voice that speaks. I can feel something spread out from my back. From the corner of my eyes I can see white. The voice stops talking and I'm left in the air.

I hear footsteps coming closer to me. Ciel, Sebastian, and a man with long red hair and glasses stand below me. I can feel the ropes loosen and my body drops as my vision begins to cloud over.

My eyes flicked open and I find myself in Sebastian's arms. Ciel was beside him. The red headed man pounces at Sebastian, saying something about a kiss, but he only ducks him.

"What's going on? Where's Lizzie?" I ask

"Lizzie has been sent home" Sebastian answers.

"Alright and whose that?" I ask pointing to the red headed man.

"That's Grell"

"Bye bye Bassy!" Grell says jumping into the trees.

I allow Sebastian to carry me to the carriage. I still didn't have all my energy back yet. I sit staring out the window, playing with the ring on my thumb. My eyelids start feeling heavy as I watch the passing scenery and eventually I fall asleep.
