Chapter 3

Annabell strolled into the Phantomhive manor excited to get away from Undertaker. It wasn't that she didn't like the Undertaker; it was just too much time with him. As Annabell strolled in she was wearing a dark purple dress with black trim on the bottom and the top of her dress making her stand out from everyone who was wearing bright, preppy colors. Annabell didn't mind much at having all the attention on her as she mingled her way through the crowd.

Annabell had flawless, pale skin and bright golden eyes making her stand out even more. It wasn't surprising that many people had ask to dance with her. Sid did caught the eyes' of two demons who did not know that she was going to be here tonight. The two demons looked at each other wondering what they should do.

"Would you care to dance, mi lady? Claude and Sebastian looked over to see who it was who asked their daughter who was slowly heading towards the dance floor with the Viscount. Sebastian glared at Lord Aleister as he leaned in to tell Annabell something making her blush.

"Sebastian? Is everything okay?" Sebastian looked down at Ciel and gave a small smile.

"Nothing to worry about, my lord."

"If you want to dance, you can go right ahead." Sebastian gave Ciel a thankful smile, and pretty much ran to where Annabell was.

"Ciel! Come dance with me!" yelled Lizzy.

"I'm coming!" Ciel sighed and got up from his break to continue dancing with his finance.

"Excuse me, but may I dance with the lady?" Annabell knew that voice. But it couldn't be him, could it? Annabell looked up as the person began to guide her around the floor. A smile graced her face when she realized it was him. It was Claude Faustus, her dad.

"What are you doing here, Annabell? We specifically told you to stay with the Undertaker," asked Claude as he spun his daughter around.

"He let me come," replied Annabell as she followed Claude's lead. "Is daddy here?"

Claude gave a small nod where Sebastian was trying to head towards them but stop seeing how Claude had beaten him to the dance. Annabell gave a small laugh seeing her father standing there a bit upset that Claude had gotten to her first.

"Now tell me my sweet Annie, how's life with the Undertaker?"

"Not bad. I got to see some cinematic records when we went out one time." They didn't get to finish their conversation because Sebastian had butted in as the next song started, and he began to dance with Annabell.

The two kept switching back and forth as the night went on. This did not go unnoticed by either Ciel or Alois. They watched as their butlers dance with this unknown person, speaking to her as they knew her for a long time. Ciel was getting suspicious, and Alois was getting jealous that Claude was paying more attention to the girl than to him.

"Claude!" Claude ignored Alois as he continue to dance with his daughter. This might be the last time he get to see his daughter before sending her back to Undertaker, and he is not leaving her just because Alois is jealous. Annabell glanced over to where Alois was before looking back at Claude.

"Is that who you made your contract with?" asked Annabell.

"Sadly, yes."

Time soon caught up to Annabell, realizing that she was suppose to be back at the Undertaker's half and hour ago. Most of the guests had already left but a few remained wanting to talk to Ciel before they left.

"I was suppose to be back with the Undertaker half an hour ago!" He's going to kill me!" Annabell didn't want to leave, but she did promise Undertaker that she would be home by midnight. Before she could make a mad dash home, Sebastian grabbed her wrist keeping her there with them.

"I don't think he would mind if you stayed late because you want to be with you family."

"I-I guess. But I promised him that I would be home at midnight, daddy."

"Look, if I take you back later and explain to him that you where here because of us. Would that make you feel better?"

Before Annabell could answer, Alois stormed over and began to yell at Claude. Claude did nothing to stop him as Alois kept yelling at Claude that if he calls him over he should be there by his side.

"And you!" Alois turned to face Annabell. "How dare you keep my Claude away from me!" Alois raised his hand ready to slap Annabell, but was held back by Claude.

"C-c-claude?" Alois was shocked at Claude's action. Never did he stop him from hitting any one 'til now. What was so special about this girl?

As soon as Claude let go of Alois, he walked away from the small family leaving Claude to apologize for his actions. "That's all right, Mister Faustus. I kept you away from your master. He has every right to be mad, you know. A butler should always be there for their master. Do you forgive me, Alois?" Alois looked over at Annabell when he heard her mention his name and mumbled a response which Annabell took as a yes.

"Would you like me to escort you home, miss?"

"She already agreed that I will take her home," answered Sebastian.

Annabell slowly backed away from the two only to run into Ciel. Annabell gave an awkward smile for bumping into the head of the Phantomhive manor.

"You must be Ciel Phantomhive. Thank you for letting me come tonight, and I'm sorry about running into you."

"No problem, but I don't remember inviting you here. What's your name, miss?"

"My name's Annabell."

"No last name, Annabell?"

"Sorry, no."

"Miss Annabell, are you ready to leave?" Annabell nodded and followed the two butlers out happy that they decided that both of them would take her home tonight.

Annabell. Is she keeping Sebastian distracted? I wonder if Sebastian is getting lonely. He wouldn't would he? I mean I can always get him a kitten if he gets lonely, right?
