We Love the Twin

Enemies

I dressed in my room and met Sebastian and Ciel back downstairs. When I saw them, I turned my head and walked straight passed them, helping myself into the carriage. Ciel seemed confused, but soon recovered and climbed in after me. Then we were off to the ball. I didn't want to meet the boy I'm supposed to seal a marriage with. All I wanted was Edmund. And now that I realized that, this date hurt more than I could handle.
We arrived at the ball and entered confidently. Soon enough, we were standing off in a corner and being anti-social. Ciel tried to get me to find this boy(who's name was apparently James), but I refused. If he wanted to meet me, he'd have to find me.
Unfortunately, he did find me. He practically ambushed me when I wasn't paying attention. I had been heading to a table with countless sweets on it, but he caught me halfway there.
"Hello! I'm James Kansby! You must be Lady Phantomhive." he said, bowing. I curtsied awkwardly and threw out a half-hearted smile. He wasn't bad-looking, at least. He had short, black hair and chocolate-brown eyes. His skin was tan, and he was tall. He offered me his hand.
"May I have this dance?" he asked. I hesitated for a moment. I can't dance.
"I- I really can't dance, James. I'm sorry." I apologized, not accepting his hand. He seemed somewhat shocked by my casual use of his name, but he recovered and grabbed my hand anyways.
"Please. Just one dance. You're of noble blood, of course you can dance." James smiled at me sweetly and I bit my lip. Glancing back at Ciel, he gave me a curt nod and I accepted the proposal. We danced for one song before I was gasping for breath.
"Sorry. I can't handle too much physical activity at a time." I apologized, leaning against a wall. James nodded knowingly.
"I heard about your asthma." he said. "Will you wait here while I fetch my dad? He wants to meet you." I nodded in response as he ran back to get his father, Earl Kansby.
He returned a moment later with a man trailing behind him. Unfortunately, I recognized the man. I stood up straight and backed away, yelping.
"That's your father?!!!" I exclaimed, continuing to back up. James looked at me in a confused fashion. His father wore a knowing smirk.
"Something wrong, little Phantomhive?" Earl Kansby asked. He advanced, bearing down on me. I turned and ran, screaming as loud as I possibly could and drawing the stares of everyone. I closed my eyes and kept running until someone caught me. I ran straight into someone's chest. His arms wrapped around me protectively, and he leaned down to whisper in my ear.
"Don't worry. I've got you. You're safe." he said. I opened my eyes hesitantly and looked up. Green eyes met my gaze and relief flooded through me. Edmund had his arms around me, hugging me close. Everyone was staring at this point, but I didn't care. Tears ran down my face as I looked up at Edmund.
"Edmund! D-d-don't let him h-hurt me!" I stuttered, burying my face in Edmund's chest. He helped me stand up straight, never releasing me from his strong grip. Then James and Earl Kansby caught up.
"Lady Phantomhive!" James exclaimed. "What happened? Are you alright?!" I looked at him and shook my head, opening my mouth to answer, but no sound escaped my lips.
"My lady was simply startled. She has a sort of past with Earl Kansby. She was not expecting him to be of relation with you." Edmund saved me an answer. Kansby just stared at me, an evil smirk on his face. I could tell he was enjoying my distress.
"Yes. I do apologize for any past events that may ruin my reputation in your eyes. May we speak in private, my lady?" Kansby bowed politely, leaving me in no place to refuse. Too many people were watching. I looked up at Edmund. His arms were still around me, but he looked down and nodded encouragingly.
"Err... Yes, sir. I suppose I could speak with you for just a moment." I said. Edmund let go of me and Kansby stepped forward. I scanned the crowd till I found Ciel, meeting his eyes briefly. I nodded reassuringly and mouthed the words "If I'm not back in thirty minutes, come after me" to him. He nodded and disappeared in the crowd. Kansby placed a hand on my back and lead me out of the ballroom. He lead me all the way to a guest bedroom, and lit a candle once we were inside.
"I'm so glad you could speak with me, Sinnie." he said, raking his eyes up and down my body. "How nicely you've grown in the past few months. I like what you've done with your hair. Long curls look brilliant on you." His eyes lingered a little too long on my chest.
"Something catch your eye?" I asked rudely, crossing my arms in a very unladylike way. He smirked and met my eyes.
"Oh, no. I'm just a little disappointed you still haven't developed a nice pair of breasts." he said. I scoffed.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Sir Perv." I shortened the word pervert because I realized how he might react. I stopped talking and caught my breath. He frowned.
"How rude. Not very ladylike, are you? I suppose that's to be expected from a girl like you." He scolded. I rolled my eyes and walked around to stand in front of the bed.
"What did you wish to speak about?" I asked, feigning politeness. Kansby grinned evilly.
"You have a debt to be repaid. I allowed you to live at my estate for years. You ate my food, wore my cloth, and slept in my bed." he replied. My breath hitched in my throat and I tried to take a step back, but I stumbled and fell back on the bed.
"You kept me there against my will! That's not fair!" I exclaimed.
"Tsk, tsk." Kansby began advancing on me, edging closer to the bed. "How disrespectful. And I see you're still as clumsy as ever. Very well, then. But you must pay me back. Do you have the money?" I edged back on the bed and shook my head.
"I haven't any money! Its all Ciel's! And I refuse to ask him for any money!" I yelled. Kansby's evil grin only grew wider.
"Then you'll have to pay with something else. How about... you're body?" he put one knee on the bed, edging over me. Within seconds, I was trapped under him. He grabbed some sort of cloth and gagged me with it. I couldn't scream. There was nothing I could do. Ciel wouldn't come to get me for another twenty minutes, at least. I was a victim to Earl Kansby, and I couldn't do anything about it.
He sat down on my hips so I couldn't move. He found the ties on my dress and started undoing them. Then he pulled down the dress, leaving me practically naked. He sat up just enough to pull my dress the rest of the way off before sitting back down and grinding on me.
He took off his shirt and slowly began unbuckling his own pants. I tried to scream, but all that escaped were muffled yelps. The tears started pouring down my face and my body shook with sobs. Then it happened. He raped me. A deed he hadn't been able to accomplish for nearly fourteen years.
And all I could do was sit there, crying my eyes out, and allow it to happen for the next twenty minutes.
What I didn't expect, was for him to shove something else in my mouth. He briefly removed my gag and shoved a small biscuit in my mouth. My eyes flew wide. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted. I trued not to swallow it, but the longer I kept it in my mouth, the nastier it got! I had no choice but to swallow it. As soon as I did swallow it, however, I started feeling very tired. My strength was fleeing my body. I felt broken. I was suddenly aware of every scratch and tear on my skin. My entire body ached(in some places more than others) and I was losing blood quickly.
Earl Kansby was much too big for me. He was tearing me apart, and I was well aware of the pain now. Soon enough, however, my entire body started feeling numb. I couldn't move at all. He removed the gag from my mouth and flipped me over, going to work on my other side. I couldn't feel anything anymore, and my consciousness was fleeing me.
My vision blurred around the edges, and I was exhausted. Something nagged at the back of my mind, telling me not to shut my eyes. I turned my head toward the door, and a bright light blinded me as the door was thrown open. Kansby pulled himself away from me. I couldn't hear. I could barely see. All I know is that suddenly, I was in someone's arms. Then everything was dark.
