Dark Crow's Jewel ~Kuroshitsuji Fan Fiction~

Chapter Seven

Ciella stayed in her room for the rest of the day, not even a sound came out. Ciel would walk up and knock, seeing if she was alright but he would never get an answer.

"Ciella, if you're hungry, dinner is ready in the dining room." Ciel said from outside her bedroom door.

Ciella heard him but didn't seem to have opened the door. Her body was laying across the bed, her bluenette curls spread across her face. She was trying to think what she was going to do, she wanted to try and see her father, set things straight. It wasn't till night when Ciella finally left her room, she had on a black coat that came to her knees, her white stocking up to her thighs and her black lace up boots tied up neatly. Quietly walking down the stairs, she made it outside the manor and was heading to the gate when she was suddenly grabbed by the arm.

Making an attempt to scream, a hand quickly covered her mouth and a soothing voice rang in her ear. It was Sebastian who had caught her.

"My, my, where are you sneaking off to at this hour, Young Mistress?" Sebastian smirked in her ear as he pulled her close to his chest.

Ciella frowned and removed his hand from her mouth. "I want to go see father, explain to him what's happening. I didn't like making him sad and hurt. He really cares for me, and I care for him too."

He jerked her back to face him. "Mistress, I can see your concern for him but it's too dangerous for you to go out at this hour. Many things happen in the city at night. Especially to women.." His gloved hand tilted her chin up slightly. "You wouldn't want to be killed or violated now would you?" His face was so close to hers.

Ciella pushed him away. "So? I'm not scared."

Sebastian just raised an eyebrow with a smirking gleam filled his eyes. "I can not let you go, Mistress. It's too risky. I'm sorry but you'll just have to wait until morning."

Ciella huffed and stomped her foot. "No. I'm going to see him and there's nothing you can do to stop me."

"Is that a challenge?" He questioned crossing his arms.

Ciella placed her hands on her hips firmly. "Maybe. What will you do about it?" She pointed at him frowning

Sebastian rolled his eyes. He did not have time for this, though he had to admit, he found it quite brave yet foolish of the girl. With a sigh, he picked her up over his shoulder and began to walk back inside.

Ciella's eyes widened as she let out a slight scream. "Hey! Put me down." She struggled as she hung over his shoudler, her head hung upside down, her hair dangling to the ground. "Sebastian, put me down."

"I'm afraid I cannot do that, Mistress. If I put you down, you'll run off." Sebastian said simply as he tightened his grip on the struggling girl.

Ciella frowned as she continued to struggle but then she felt him lean her back, her face almost touching the ground. "Bloody hell, don't do that." Her arms were suddenly wrapping around him, at least the best she could.

A smirk began to dance upon his lips. He leaned forward and stared into her sapphire orbs as his crimson ones gazed at them. His eye shone brightly in the moonlight, a sight most bewitching. Ciella gasped softly as she felt him draw closer. She closed her eyes expecting something horrible to happen but his velvety voice merely said, "Forgive me, young mistress..but my word is final.." He said and with one swift movement, he had her in his arms and was already walking up the stairs of the manor.

Ciella pouted in defeat. "Fine." She sighed grumbling. "I'll go tomorrow..."

Sebastian gave a cheeky smile at her reaction but said nothing. He entered her room and set her down on her bed to rest. He redressed her in her white cotton nightgown and unpinned her hair from its place. He gently pulled her covers over her and smiled warmly. "Have a good night, young mistress." With a wave of his hand, he turned towards the door and left the now silent and darkened room.
