The Phantomhive Manor

Chapter 3: Very Hyper Girl

It was like Ciel had gotten soft on me. I'm not too sure if this is normally to way he acts or if it's just an act. Why would he even be nice to me even though I had did things to him that were wrong. Things that I really shouldn't of done at all. Even things that I shouldn't of had said.

Here he was teaching me how to play chess. He seemed to enjoy doing so. Why? It was old to me. Very odd.

I watched him and listened as he taught me how to play. He even taught me where to move to the small statues, the rules of the game, and of course, he taught me how to play the game.

"This is the King, Queen." He said as he pointed to the two tallest statues.

When he was finished naming the statues, he told me which ways the statues can go.

"How taught you how to play?" I suddenly asked.

Ciel looked at me silently. Then he looked down at the chess board. "My father." That was all he said.

I noticed sadness forming in his eyes. I understood. "I-i'm so sorry, I shouldn't of had asked."

Ciel shook his head and said "No, it's okay. I'm used to it..."

"You're used to it..." I began. "But it doesn't mean you don't get hurt by it."

A few seconds of silence filled the room.

Ciel broke the silence by saying "I know..."

My ears twitched. I heard Sebastian yelling at someone down stairs. I looked at Ciel, looking at him in his eyes. I relised this and so did Ciel but the both of this did not say anything to each other about it and we did not react to it. Then I quickly looked towards the door and a blonde hair girl with pig tails busted into the room like a bulldozer, almost breaking the door down. 

"CIEEEEEEEEEEEEELL!!!" The girl's voice pierced both of out ears. 

Ciel and me covered our ears from the sudden call from the girl. 

The girl ran to Ciel and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. 

Ciel jolted to this. It seemed he didn't want this girl to do what she was doing to him right now. 

"Ciel, I am so happy to see you! It's been a long time! A few months!" The girl said to Ciel, letting him go and letting Ciel stand from this chair. 

Ciel sighed and responded "So it has."

The girl looked at me. At first she didn't reconize me. A smile grew on her face and she skipped to me. "Well hello there, Sieglinde Sullvian. It has been a long time since I have seen you too!" 

I forced a smile. "Y-yeah. Indeed it has." 

Sebastian entered the room, out of breath. "Lady Elizabeth... Do not... Please do not..." He breathed. "Please do not run in the halls." 

Elizabeth, the hyper girl skipped to Sebastian with a smile on her face. "Sorry Sebastian. I wont do it again. You know how I get when I want to see Ciel. I just can't help it!" 

Sebastian stood up straight and forced a smile at the young girl. "Yes. I am aware." 

"So I wanted to come by to say hello to Ciel." She said as she tried around and looked at Ciel.

"You know you shouldn't sneak out of your mansion without your mother knowing. Your maid butler might get fired for not watching you the entire time." Ciel said out loud.

"I dont think she will get fired. My mum wouldn't do that, my mum know I need her when she's not around to take care of me." Elizabeth talked.

Sebastian silently stood there in front of the door. It seemed he was trying to hold his tounge.

Ciel sighed.

"Don't worry about me, Ciel." She continued. "I'm all right by myself."

"But your a lady. A man could pull you into his carriage... Or could snatch you..." Ciel responded.

"Nope." She replied. "I'm all right by myself. I know how to handle myself without getting my hands dirty."

Then Sebastian sighed. "Would you like for me to go fetch three cups of tea?"

Ciel turned his eyes to Sebastian and nodded. "Please."

"That's all right." I said and walker to Sebastian. "I don't need a cup of tea."

Sebastian looked down at me with worry. It seemed he could tell how I was feeling at the moment.

"I think I would rather eat my plate of breakfast I haven't eaten this morning." I said while looked up at Sebastian.

Ciel sighed and said "very well. Then. Two cups will do for now, Sebastian."

Does he want me to stay? I asked Sebastian within my mind.

Sebastian silently nodded. He had answered my question.

"Forgive me Ciel, but there is something I would like to talk to Sebastian about... Would you mind?" I didn't make eye contact with Ciel.

Ciel sighed, "Very well then. I will be here when you are finished."

I nodded and opened the door with my left hand, but Elizabeth had grabbed me by the shoulder at the moment before I could even step foot outside of the room.

I slowly looked back at Elizabeth.
"You have been staying here where you are able to enjoy breakfast here with Ciel?" She asked.

So s-she is jealous? Sebastian asked telepathically to me.

"This is only my first breakfast with Ciel and I hadn't got the chance to enjoy it with him at all." I told her.

Then I seen the jealousy fade from her eyes. She took her hand from my shoulder and let my drop to her side. She silently nodded.

I could feel the way Ciel was feeling now. Sebastian and me could feel it. I knew it. Ciel felt nervous and he was worried what Elizabeth would say to him while Sebastian and me were down staires in the kitchen.

I sighed and stepped outside of the room. Sebastian followed.
