His Butlers Princess (Black Butler Fanfic)

Chapter 20

POV: Lilly

When I caught up to him he was sitting in a ball against one of the wagons. "You'll catch a cold like this," I said as I roved my coat and wrapped it around him. The cold air hit my bare skin but I didn't mind.

"I don't want it!" He yelled and threw the coat back. His tone of voice caused me to take a step back in sock. "I cant live like this anymore. I am a Phantomhive. Not some circus freak."

My eyes widened and I felt anger wash over me. "Fine! If your going to act like a spoiled brat then I wont help you!" I shouted, threw my coat down at him, and walked, more like ran, away. As soon as I was far enough away I felt guilt wash over me. I shouldn't have yelled. I don't even know what happened.

I ran to my tent and fell down onto the bed. "I feel like the brat now," I said aloud. I laid there until I heard someone shout about the show starting soon. In a quick motion I was up and heading to change. My dress was on and I painted the swirls onto my face. All I needed to do was grab my baton and head to the show tent.

"Your going on first. Do you need anything?" Joker asked as I entered the tent.

I paused for a second before giving him my reply. "I need you to turn the lights off or at least dim them so the audience can see the fire better." He nodded and went to talk to the others.

Soon the show started and I took a deep breath as Joker introduced me. When He called my name the lights went out and I walked to the center of the ring. I quickly lit my baton. The croud was silent as I started. I took the first step of the dance and twirled the baton. Left hand, right hand, back to the left. Up high, now low. I concentrated on the spin and movement of the fire. Now comes the toss. I focused on the baton as it came down. My hand closed around the baton and the audience roared in excitement. A smile filled my face as the lights came on and I could see the crowd.

I scanned the crowed of unfamiliar faces. My eyes landed on a pair of cold silver eyes. I walked out of the ring and took off into a run as soon as I was out of sight of the crowd. I ripped past the others, knocking Wendy over. My heart beat faster and faster as I ran past the tents. When I reached mine I quickly gathered my things wrote a note and ran deeper into the streets of London. I headed in the direction of the Manor and didn't stop till I was inside.

As soon as the door closed behind me pain washed over my body and I was meet by a too familiar darkness.

POV: Finny

I was standing in the kitchen when the door burst open. I prepared to defend the manor but instantly relaxed when I saw Lilly. My relaxed state quickly disappeared when she fell forward. I caught her before she hit the ground.

"What is going on?" Bard yelled as he entered with Mey-Rin. "It's too late for slamming do-" He stopped talking when his eyes fell on Lilly.

"Miss. Lilly!" Mey-Rin yelled before running over. "Take her to her room!" She shouted and I did as she told me to. I placed her on her bed gently and Mey-Rin shoed us from the room.

POV: Mey-Rin

I removed my glasses and checked Lilly for any wounds. I could not find any but her shoes were worn so bad that there were holes and her feet were bloody. After removing her shoes and changing her into a nightgown I bandaged her feet. I covered her with a blanket before leaving.

POV: Sebastian

After I filled in and took care of the young master I went to check up on Lilly. When I entered her tent it was empty. Her bag was gone. The chest was empty of her things. The only thing that remained was a piece of paper on a desk. I picked it up and saw that it was addressed to me.

'I'm should be back at the manor by now. I will not be returning to the circus and will explain why later. For now I have to leave and don't have time to tell you more. Don't worry I know the servants will keep me safe. –Lilly"

My eyes widened as I read. I looked around the tent and saw how messy it was for a how little there was. The sheets on the bed were wrinkled, the chest was open and crooked, and paper and pens were sprawled across the desk. This showed that she left in haste. Saw another letter addressed to Joker that simply said that she could not handle the crowed and had to leave.

I went to report to the Young master.

"She what?!" he yelled when after I told him the situation. I handed him the letter and he quickly read over it.

"Her tent was a mess and all signs that she was there were gone except for the letter," I explained

  

"The letter says that she is at the manor. There is no need to be worried. Now lets review what we know." He said before talking about what he had found. Suddenly he started to cough violently. I quickly brought him to the medical tent.
