POV: Ciel

Quickly I sat up and pointed my gun at the figure above me. When my eyes focused I was looking in the face of my surprised butler. He than smirked and went to make my tea.

“Today’s morning tea is Assam black tea with added milk. It is milk tea I have prepared,” He said as I sat with my gun held close to my chest. “Milk can help to soothe one’s nerves, and calm you down. Especially after a nightmare.” He handed me the cup and I relaxed at its smell. He looked over to my bed and saw the book I was reading before bed. “It must be because you were Edgar Poe’s writing before bed.”

I sighed and took a sip of the tea. “I have the pleasure of doing anything I please. What is today schedule?” I asked him.

“Today you will need to assess the paper work sent by the company. You will be having Marchioness Middleford and Lady Elizabeth as guests this afternoon.” He said the second part and I almost dropped my tea.

“Hurry up and make preparations,” I said as I franticly placed my cup down and climbed out of bed.

“There is no need to be so anxious, the Marchioness will be arriving in the afternoon…”

“You fool,” I said as I cut him off. “This is Aunt Frances you’re talking about,” I yelled and he quickly got me dressed and started to prepare for the guests.

POV: Lilly

I was awaked by Sebastian who told me I had to be ready for guests who would be arriving soon. I got up and put on a white dress with black embroidery. I brushed my hair out and put on my black flats. Once I was done dressing I ran to the entrance just as the guest’s carriage pulled up. I went up and stood next to a tiered looking Ciel.

“It’s been a long time since we last met, Marchioness Middleford. As always you have arrived earlier than expected,” Ciel said as a woman and Lizzy got out of the carriage.

The woman frowned and looked over Ciel. “Forget the formalities. Anyway Earl Phantomhive with that ‘out-of-bed’ look I can presume that you have just woken up,” she said and Lizzy jumped on Ciel and was than yelled at by the Marchioness. The Marchioness looked over at me and tilted her head. “Who is this young lady?”

“Miss. Lilly Regis,” I said with a curtsy. She looked me over before smiling.

“Elizabeth, learn from this young lady,” she told Lizzy who nodded and smiled at me.

Sebastian greeted the Marchioness and got a glare in return. The woman than pulled Sebastian and Ciel’s hair back so that it looked similar to Tanaka’s. I let out a small giggle at how funny they looked.

After they apologized, Sebastian took them around the house. We stopped at the garden only to leave without entering. I giggled knowing it must be destroyed because of Finny. Next was the main hall, which was also a mistake. The tea was also a mistake so we ended up going to the stables.

“Ciel do you want to go hunting with me right now?” The Marchioness asked Ciel who was socked but said it was ok and they ended up having a competition.

We mounted horses; Ciel and Lizzy on one, the Marchioness on another, and I on my own. Once in the forest the hunting began after Sebastian stated the rules. Lizzy was told to get off the horse and ride with me because it was dangerous. She pouted and got up on the horse with me.

“I’m so relieved, Ciel is returned to his normal self. Because he was so close to Madam Red, I was worried. I don’t want him to have anymore-bad memories. That’s why I try to cheer him up in my own way but I always over do it.” She smiled down at the ground and I lightly ruffled her hair.

“I’m sure that the young master will always keep your concerns for him in mind.” Sebastian said with a smile.

Lizzy looked up at him, “Thank you. You are so kind Sebastian. You too Lilly.” She smiled up at me and I smiled back.

Later when we stopped the game for lunch, it was a draw. It would resume after lunch to break the tie. I sat next to Lizzy as Sebastian served the meal.

“This is delicious,” Lizzy said before she tensed up. She and I turned around and saw a large bear.

“Lizzy!” Ciel yelled and jumped to protect her. I was pulled into Sebastian’s arms as a gunshot rang out. The Marchioness lowered her rifle and Ciel declared her the winner and she said that Ciel was brave for protecting Lizzy.

“Are you alright?” Sebastian whispered to me before letting me go. I nodded and we headed back to the manor. On the way back Sebastian and the Marchioness discussed something and I trotted behind Ciel and Lizzy.

When we arrived back the three servants where cut up and bruised. Finny held a deformed cake. I looked at Ciel who was ready for his aunt to yell about the mess.

“You beat me to it,” she said instead and smiled. Her hand patted the top of Ciel’s head. “Happy 13th birthday, Ciel.”

Ciel’s face was socked and everyone was celebrating. The Marchioness said something to Sebastian before coming to celebrate with the others. I followed Sebastian to the kitchen where he opened the cupboard and pulled out a cake.

“Looks like the cake I made has gone to waste.” He said as he pulled off his glove. On his hand was a pentagram that made my eyes widen. I saw a flash of the boy from my dream with the same mark on his hand. I took a step back and waked into a table. He turned to face me socked that I was there.

POV: Sebastian

I turned around to the source of the sound and found Lilly staring wide-eyed at me. She wore a socked expression but did not seem afraid of me. I took a step closer to her and her eyes looked down at my hand than back at me.

“Sam?” was all she said before her eyes went dark and she passed out. I caught her before she hit the ground. I took her to her room and put her to bed.

Author note

Writing off the manga is harder than writing off the anime so bare with me. I am trying my best to make it as good as the others. And like always thanks for reading.
