Love In Church

Trancy Ball

          (Alex's pov)

           A few days passed sense the boys were welcomed into the Phantomhive crew. And let me tell you they were not enjoying the constant calamity. Ron was tasked in making sure Bard was not  burning anything. Mark was helping Finnan in the garden.  Michael was basically stuck to what he normally does, Ivan was tasked in helping Mayrin which probally was a bad idea from the start as Mayrin messed up more than she usually does. Zen was tasked in helping Sebastian so Sebastian would have a load off.   I was just spending my time with Ciel which he did not like and I frequently get a "Don't you have something else to do" from him. I find it cute when he tries to send me out of his study or tries to shake me off. Tanaka though watched and laughed as this all went down. "Don't just sit there take her out of my study," Ciel demanded. "Ho Ho Ho," Tanaka laughed with his famous green tea in hand. Suddenly Sebastian came in with a letter on a tray. "Wow fancy Mr Michaelis," I said as I peered at the letter. "Thank you Milady," Sebastian said with his signature smirk. Ciel opened the letter and visibly paled. "How in the world did he....that pain in my neck," Ciel mumbled. 

(Ciel's pov)

 Sebastian gave me a letter and I took it.When I opened and read the letter I paled. Alois Trancy the blond twit had wrote to me saying how about how fabulous he is and how he will take away Alexandria if I don't go to his masquerade ball which would be held next Saturday. "How in the world did he find out about Alex...," I mumbled in anger and I continued reading and my eye narrowed. "That pain in my neck." 

The letter read:

     Dear Ciel Phantomhive,

How is it going? Well I suppose you are not doing so well as I am fabulous. Anyways I am going to get to the point here, I know about your little "girlfriend". I do not think Lizzy would be very happy if she were to find out about Princess Alexandria. Now I will be hosting a masquerade ball next Saturday at six pm sharp. If you fail to arrive with the princess in tow I will forcefully take her and make her MINE! See you at the ball Ciel.

  Alois Trancy.

        I gritted my teeth. I don't know what Alois would do to Alex if he got his hands on her. I looked at her and I saw her talking to Sebastian. Something inside of me told me to protect her no matter what the cost is.  I was confused about how he knew about Alex's exsistance then I remembered his butler, maid, and stewards and the fact they are all demons. "Right they can hide and listen in," I thought.  I sighed and looked back at the letter. "What are you planning Alois?" I put the letter down on the desk then started to rub the bridge of my nose. "Are you okay," Alex asked seemingly to be worried. "We need to get you a ball down and mask pronto," I said as I rested my head on my hand removing the hand from my nose bridge. "Um why," Alex asked as Sebastian tried to hold back a snicker. "Well a "friend" of mine invited us to his masquerade ball, and I doubt you have the attire at hand right now," I explained. "Oh I'm not going, I never had an interest in balls," Alex said with a smile clearly mad. "Do you want to be kidnapped and forced to do something horrible," I asked which I was being serious at this point. "What are you implying Lord Phantomhive," Alex asked her eyes had spelled out the word murder in them which made me shutter. "I am trying to say if you don't come with me you would be kiddnapped and forced to love Alois Trancy," I said gritting my teeth and I showed her the letter. She read it and turned pale. "Damn you," Alex muttered.  

     We all went out to a dress store with Ron in tow. "So this is the famous dress shop... Hopkins' Tailor Shop,"Ron stated in awe. Nina basically tackled me then hugged me. "I am so glad my twin didn't go through this," I thought then said," Nina I am not here for me but my fioncee, Princess Alexandria of Catsania."  Nina looked at Alexandria who was next to me and she was holding back her laughter. She may her her mood swings but at least she is not as bad as Alois. "What about Lizzy," Nina asked.Alex proceeded to show the necklace and the back of it which had the Phantomhive seal on it. "Lizzy never had the Phantomhive necklace. Alex however, had it in her family for six generations.  And my ancestor made sure to have ether him or one of his descendants marry the  descendant of Alex's 6 times grate grandmother, so Lizzy was never truly my Fiancee from the start," I explained. Nina nodded thenturned her attention to Alex. "Your highness, may I have your measurements taken," Nina asked. "Sure," Alex responded. 

(Alex's pov)

  "I'm Nina Hopkins I will be your tailor and dress maker, now come with me," Nina said and lead the way to a dressing room. I noticed Ciel followed us and I tried so hard not to laugh.  Nina took me into dressing room one and well what I didn't expect it to have was a cloth curtain....yeah not used to that but she went out to get her measuring tape and Ciel walked in and plopped down on a stool. He basically looked distrusting of Nina at this point. "Ciel what is wrong with you," I asked. "You will see," Ciel said. Nina came back in as he said that and she had to shoo Ciel out. She then told me to strip and I saw why now. "No way," I said in horror. "Well I must get accurate measurements," Nina said flatly. I struggled to keep my dress up as she tried to take it off me. "NO STOP IT," I screamed  just as she ripped my dress off to my side revealing bite marks and deep lacerations plus whip marks on my back.   Ciel, Ron, and Sebastian barged in and saw what was on my back. I had covered my chest and started crying. "Please just take the measurements with my dress on," I begged tears falling from my cheeks. 

(Ciel's pov)

            We all heard screams from the dressing room and Sebastian, Ron and I ran to the dressing room where Alex and Nina were at. "No no, She couldn't be hurt, Nina would never harm a customer. I reached the dressing room first and went into the room and then Sebastian followed then Ron. What we saw shocked us (Sebastian and I Ron already knew apparently). My heart shattered at the sight. Nina was shocked as well, as she was holding Alex's dress top and we all saw whip marks, deep yet long cuts  and bite marks covering her back and from what I could see her breasts as well.  . "Please just take the measurements with my dress on," she begged tears falling from her cheeks.  I didn't think in that moment but I ran up to Alex and hugged her. "I am so sorry," I said without thinking and wiped away her tears. "I will take her measurements." "Are you crazy?! WE are NOT married yet," Alex exclaimed her face red yet she still cried. "Hey, do you wish to take off your clothes," I countered. She looked at me. Those beautiful red eyes of hers full of tears and fear.    I hugged her tightly rubbing her back. I don't know what was going on with me but I was pulled to do the actions I did. "I am sorry," Nina said looking down, "But I need the measurements." Alex starts to calm down and nods. I and the others were kicked out. Nina was able to get the measurements but when she asked when she should get the dress done by, I told her by next Friday.  Nina agreed and we left.  

Time skip til the day of the ball

  The day of the ball came faster than expected.   Alex was getting ready and from the sound of it she was being put into a corset. Which that reminded me of the time where I had to go undercover as a girl at one point.   I shuttered at the thought of having to do that. suddenly I heard running which I looked up and saw Alex in the dress that I bought for her.

 Ron, Mark, Michael, Ivan, and Zen though all in suits were chuckling as they watched Sebastian try to catch Alex. "NO HIGH HEALS," she screetched.

Sebastian managed to catch her and put on the shoes I had picked out for her.  She pouted and looked oddly cute when mad.

We got into the carriage and road off to the trancy manor for the Trancy ball.
