Stuck in Kuroshitsuji

Chapter 28: Explanation

Aviva POV

I walked through the townhouse and made my way to Ciel's study. I gently knocked on the door.

"Enter." He said coldly. I carefully opened the door and walked in.

"Good morning, master Ciel!" I chimed, walking to his desk.

"Someone is in a good mood." He said as I placed the tray on his desk.

"I am, sir. I found myself enjoying cooking your breakfast." I said placing the plates in front of him. "And speaking of, for breakfast I have made stacked strawberry shortcake crepes. And of course earl grey tea." I said pouring his tea.

"And where is Sebastian?" He asked, clasping his hands together.

"I'm not sure, my young lord. I had requested to make you breakfast." I said stepping back with the tray.

"Hm. I'll call for you when I'm finished." He said before sipping his tea.

"Yes, sir." I said bowing. I turned to leave but stopped at the door. I told Sebastian I knew what he was and about him and Ciel.....I should tell Ciel. And I should tell him about my visions. I turned back around. "Actually, my young lord?" I said looking down.

"Yes?" He said, I guess annoyed I didn't leave.

"There's something I think you should know." I said shyly walking forward.

"And that would be?" He asked, getting impatient.

"I know about Sebastian. And I know about your deal with him." I said looking away. "I won't tell anyone, of course." I said looking back to him. He just stared at me for a minute.

"Is that all?" He asked.

"Actually...no." I walked to the chair in front of his desk. "May I?" I asked motioning to the chair. He nodded. "It's about how I knew you were kidnapped." I said sitting down. There was a knock at the door.

"Yes?" He said, annoyed. Sebastian walked in.

"Apologies, my young master. I was looking for Miss Aviva. You didn't come back and I feared you had gotten lost again." He said walking up to me. I was surprised. Was he...worried? Ciel looked at him suspiciously.

"Aviva was just about to tell me how she knew I was kidnapped." He said to his butler. Sebastian kept walking and stood behind Ciel. Good...I don't have to explain this twice. I sighed and looked at Sebastian, then Ciel.

"I...I had a vision." I said looking at my lap.

"A vision? And what exactly did you see?" He asked, calmly. Did he believe me?

"You, on the floor, beat up, bound by leather belts." I said. I was scared to look at them.

"Hm...So your vision was correct. Have you had any since?" He asked. I nodded in response.

"Was that your headache the other day?" Sebastian asked. I nodded.

"And what did you see?" Ciel asked. What was I supposed to say? Who the real Jack the Ripper is? His aunt's murder? I sighed. Fuck I have to tell him,  don't I? But I can't tell him everything. Just be vague.

"The real Jack the Ripper. We were wrong. It wasn't the Viscount." I said. Ciel jumped up. I jumped and looked up at him.

"Can you be sure of this?" He said not looking up at me. I nodded. "That night was humiliating! And we didn't even stop Jack the Ripper?! All that for nothing!" He said, very upset. He calmed himself and sat back down. "We need a new plan, don't we?" He asked. I nodded. "Thank you for telling me this Aviva. You might prove more useful than I thought. You may go back to your duties." He said motioning towards the door. I nodded and left.

I closed his door and pushed my back against the wall. I sighed in relief. That went.....well, actually pretty well. I am not looking forward to Ciel finding out who the real Jack the Ripper is. I quickly went back to the kitchen and put the tray down.

I took a seat and sighed, putting my head in my hands. Finally! I don't have to hide knowing about Ciel and Sebastian anymore. So much weight off my shoulders. I put my hands down and just sat for a few minutes. I needed a breather. I thought for a moment about what comes next for Ciel and Co.

Oh no. Oh god no. Not Houndsworth. Fuck that's going to be rough. I love dogs. I love animals...as if that wasn't obvious. But I really love dogs. I want to be excited about Pluto. I want to be excited about having a "dog." I can't get attached to Pluto knowing how his story plays out. But I know I will. Oh, poor Finny.

Third Person POV

Aviva had been so deep in thought, and somehow also spaced out, that she didn't see Sebastian walk in the kitchen. Nor did she hear him calling her. She was just staring at the floor of the kitchen. He waved his hand in front of her. He walked up to her and she didn't notice. He took her chin and whipped her head up to face him. She jumped at the sudden movement.

"Oh, hi Sebastian!" She said wide-eyed, coming back to reality. Woah there goes gravity. "When did you get here?" She asked confused. He chuckled and shook his head.

"I've been here for a few minutes, Miss Aviva." He said.

"Oh!" She said still wide-eyed.

"Trying to get your attention. You were staring at the floor." He said smiling slightly.

"Oh. Sorry about that! I must've spaced out pretty good there, huh?" She said embarrassed.

"So it would seem." He said, letting go of her chin. "Would you like to assist me in some cleaning?" He asked holding his hand out. Aviva smiled brightly.

"I'd love to!" She said taking his hand and standing up.
