Someone Different

Chapter 15: Jack The Ripper

After breakfast Ciel, Cherry and Sebastian went into Ciel's study to discuss the plan of action for tonight. Ciel sat at his high back leather chair, Cherry sat down on the window sill seat, and Sebastian stood at the side of Ciel's desk. This time Scotland Yard was not getting involved, as it would become more complicated to deal with.

"What is the plan Master?" Said Sebastian as he looked down at Ciel who was resting his chin against his closed fist.

"Simple... tonight we use Cherry as our Noble Women to try and bring this Jack The Ripper out... Me and you will be hiding in the shadows close by her at all time... Then you stop them before Cherry is hurt" Replied Ciel as he turned his chair slightly to face Sebastian.

"Very well Master... I shall go and make some tea" Said Sebastian as he took a slight bow and walked towards the study door.

Ciel turned around to face Cherry and saw she was hugging her knees and staring out of the window looking lost and scared. Gently Ciel reached out and placed a hand to top of her knee. Cherry looked over at him, her mind was racing and terrified for tonight.

"Are you Alright?" Said Ciel as he slowly stood up and sat next to Cherry on the window sill seat.

"I am terrified Ciel" Replied Cherry as she looked at Ciel tears brimming on the edge of her eyes.

"Come here" Said Ciel in a soft and gentle voice as he pulled Cherry closer to him and hugged her trying to give her any comfort he could.

Cherry rested her head on Ciel and let a couple of tears fall from her eyes. Staining her soft and silky skin as they traveled down her face. Softly Ciel wiped the tears off her face and gave her a small kiss on the forehead.

"Like I Said... I would never let anything happen to you Cherry" Continued Ciel as he gently ran an arm up and down Cherry's back calming her down a tiny bit.

"I trust you Ciel" Replied Cherry as she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

They both stayed like that for a while not wanting to let go of each other. Cherry looked up at Ciel, gazing into his eyes almost getting lost. Ciel gazed down at Cherry, getting lost in her bright green eyes. Suddenly Ciel lent in and gave Cherry a passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer to him, Ciel had one hand on her back and the other resting on her lower back. Slowly they both pulled away from the kiss but remained in each other's arms. Cherry rested her head on Ciel's shoulder and softly placed a kiss on his jaw line.

Suddenly Sebastian came back into the room with a tray of Earl Grey tea. He set the tray down on the desk with a slight clink when it was placed onto the surface. Skilfully Sebastian poured the tea into two cups and handed them to Ciel and Cherry.

"You may leave now Sebastian" Said Ciel as he took a sip of his tea.

"As you wish Master" Replied Sebastian as he took a slight bow, walked towards the study door and left the room, he started walking towards the servant quarters.

Cherry took a sip of her tea then placed it onto Ciel's desk. Ciel placed his cup on his desk then looked over towards Cherry.

"Cherry" Said Ciel as he gently placed a hand on top of Cherry's and looked into her eyes.

"Yes" Replied Cherry as she looked into Ciel's eyes.

"I am seeing my family friends tomorrow Professor Lanyon and Mrs Lanyon... I was wondering if you would like to accompany me?" Said Ciel as he gently rubbed Cherry's hand with his thumb, his silk glove grazed the surface of Cherry's skin.

"Really?" Replied Cherry as she glanced down at his hand that was gently grazing the surface of her skin.

"Yes really" Said Ciel as he chuckled slightly as how cute and innocent Cherry was being.
