you sit on his desk, STILL in the suffocating dress. ciel had explained that it was best to keep it on till the ball was done with. even though you disdained the thought of being in the dress for the rest of the evening, you deal with it. it's for master's impression.. you think bitterly. You sigh at the thought as ciel dresses in a blue outfit lizzy picked for him. surprisingly, it fit him well. the blue brought out his eye and hair color well. he was in a cute blue suit with a white bowtie and matching hat. he looked professional. Very spiffy, milord. "puurraow." you purred, earning a smirk from ciel. "why, thank you." he said walking to you and sticking his arm out to you. "why don't you come along? you can watch. just be careful with your leg." you happily oblige and leapt carefully onto his shoulder, latching your claws carefully into the fabric to steady yourself. "young master, are you sure it's alright for her to come along for this ball with that injury?" asked sebastian, showing concern. ciel gave him a stern glare. "she'll be fine. she'll only be watching." he stated crossly. sebastian, still slightly worried, nodded. they then headed to the ballroom.

when you both got there, you saw that blonde with mey-rin reaching for her glasses. "leave her alone." Ciel commanded. once he said that, her attention was brought to you both. she squealed in glee as she saw you and ciel dressed up in ridiculously cute clothing. sebastian took you from ciel's shoulder and set you on the ground beside him as she took ciel by the hands and spun him around. then they stopped. lizzy had noticed something off about him and was glaring. you couldn't hear it since sebastian was behind them. then she started babbling about something being perfect and cute. then she collapsed to her knees in a dramatic way and began fake crying.

you slowly limped down the stairs just behind ciel to listen in. before you could process any words, she suddenly lunged at him and snatched something from his hand. "it's mine now!~" she declared holding it up. your eyes widened as you saw the small glimmer of silver and blue. the heirloom ring!! you saw ciel stiffen as she held it up to her eye. she... mocked it. called it "too big". blood surged through your ears as they flattened. suddenly, ciel snapped. "Give it BACK!"

you snap your head to him and saw a very stern glare aimed at Elizabeth. then he held out his hand. "give me that ring. now." he nearly demanded. lizzy looked taken aback from his change in demeanor. "why are you so angry at me...?" she whimpered, her voice breaking. because that ring is important to master, you drill-haired dolt! "grroooooow..." you growled lowly. "I just wanted to make everything look adorable, that's all..." she croaked, a voice broken in tears. then she raised the ring above her head. "I HATE THIS STUPID RING!!" she screamed. to your horror... she threw it to the ground. master's prized possession!! on relfex, you lunged for it. but your tight dress threw off your pounce. and you missed... and .. and upon coming into contact with the floor...

the ring....

broke.

fragments of the silver broken off in pieces. the Sapphire had cracked a good one in it's shiny complexion. slitted (color) eyes stared in pure terror at the broken ring. no... oh how ciel was seeing red now. he growled and took a step forward and glared at you. you turn back to him and he points to Elizabeth, no words spoken. you didn't have to be told twice. turning towards the blonde angrily and growled. she looked down at you, gasping at your sudden actions. then you launched at her, mouth agape, paws out in front of you, claws unsheathed. she gasped and winced, bracing for the sharp impact.

but it never came.

your mouth was partially opened, claws still unsheathed. you were stopped mid-air by none other then Mr. Michaelis. he held you under your chest with one hand. "mistress." he said, his voice seasoned in irritation and disappointment. "I've told you not to put strain on your leg, had I not?" he scolded placing you on the ground near the staircase. you barely even felt the pain as you worriedly turned your attention to ciel, who was panting, now holding his walking stick. you glared at Elizabeth, whom was crying, and hissed angrily at her.

sebastian got in front of Elizabeth and started to speak with her. you hurriedly limped over to ciel and nuzzled his leg apologeticly. he didn't respond. master..? "mreow..?" you meowed in a weak voice. he suddenly knelt down and picked up the ring. you watched as he walked away. you hear the blonde try to apologize to him but he didn't listen. then to everyone's shock.. the threw the remains out an open window!

everyone's jaws dropped. when Elizabeth questioned why he'd do that.. he said that it was just an old ring. and that he was still head of the Phantomhives. everyone stood in stunned silence for a moment while Elizabeth continued weeping. you then stared as ciel comforted her. Give me a break.. "rrrrgh.." you rolled your eyes in disgust. then you hear beautiful violin music. you turn to see sebastian playing the instrument professionally. of course he can. you blankly think to yourself as you turned back to ciel and lizzy. they... were dancing! everyone was actually beginning to have a good time now!

well... almost everyone.

You knew you should have felt happy for ciel's success. But for some reason, you felt like the third wheel. you couldn't really dance. you're a cat. You had no dancing partner your height and your leg is busted. so your just sitting there, watching everyone dance about. you puff out your cheeks and start pouting. well this is just not fair. "rrrreow..." you muttered upset as you limped up the stairs and into the hallway in a grump.
