"Sebastian what do we do? If he sees us he will definitely recognize us, and he isn't smart enough to realize that I'm doing this under the queens orders."
"Well your right about that. I guess the only thing we do is not let him see you."
"But how?!" he bowed and held out his hand towards me.
"If I may, my lady."
"No way, I'm still not good at dancing."
"I'm terribly sorry putting you in a situation like this my lady, but it is either dance or have your plan ruined by your fiancé. And you better be quick because he is coming over here now." I pouted.
"Fine." I took his hand and was dragged to the dance floor. "Keep your eyes out for Lord Druett." I mumbled.
"I see him, he has his eye on you."
"Good that was easier than I thought. Is he the blonde in the white with that creepy smirk on his face?"
"Precisely." The dance ended and I was exhausted. I was on my hands and knees trying to catch my breath, until I heard clapping.
"Your dancing is exquisite like a lovely little robin, my sweet lady." Said Lord Druett
"Young mistress, allow me to fetch you something to drink." Sebastian said before he left." Let's get this started. Time to play the sweet and innocent good girl.
I put on my most innocent smile and said, "Good evening my lord Druett."
"I do hope you are enjoying the party," he paused taking a break to kiss my hand. "Little robin." Without him noticing I began wiping my hand on my dress.
"Yes, it is a lovely party, but... I have been waiting to speak with you all evening."
"Oh?"
"I am bored to death of dancing and eating." Smirking at me, he made his move of wrapping his arm around my waist. Things can't get worse.
"What a spoiled little princess you are little robin." He then slithered his hand down to my but. " Are you looking for something, more entertaining?" And they got worse. Just endure it Ceil. Come on you can do this. You have no choice, not after you have come this far.
"You know of other amusements? I would be most interested." He was now cupping my chin with his hand and his face was only inches away.
"Of course, I would be happy to show them to you little robin, my sweet little thing." THAT'S IT! I''VE HAD IT WITH THIS PERV! WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER I SWEAR I AM GOING TO KILL THIS CREEP!!!
"Oh really like what?" I said all cutesy like. At least Ellija taught me one thing. But if he sees me when the dance is over... it will ruin everything.
"You want to know?"
"Yes, I am simply dying to my lord." I anticipated. Just bloody take me already! I Ellija comes this way I am doomed.
"You might be a little to young." Hurry!
"Now don't tease me my lord, I'm a lady not a little girl." The dance is over please lets just go!!! Before he comes over here and ruins everything! He's coming. I was turned to face Lord Druett by his own hand.
"What has you so distracted little robin?"
"I-it's nothing my Lord. Can we go? Please?" I said giving him a cute puppy dogface.
"Yes, anything for you my sweet." This guy makes me sick.
Alois POV
"Where is he? Where is he?" I mumbled to myself.
"You highness, I found him, but ceil is also there with him." I looked to where he was pointing off into the distance. I saw the lord with his hand on Ceil's but. Oh if I ever get my hands on him he won't have any of his own to touch Ceil! I steamed and saw Claude with one of his rare angry faces that actually showed emotion.
"What do we do now Claude?"
"I guess they have this under control."
"Should we wait for her or go home." Like I needed to ask this. I know what I'm going to do.
"What ever it is you want to do" He smirked, "My lady." I frowned.
"Then let's wait for her here to make sure she is ok, I don't want him to rape her or something hehe..." I became pale as I saw him lead he away out the door. "Go follow them, but make sure you are not seen." I said sternly as I pictured what he would do to her. I'm going to kill that bastard.
I was... wrong
Ceil's POV
"Right this way please." I was being lead down a dark corridor into a dark room of some sorts. "We are going somewhere I'm sure you will find very amusing, I know I do." Ugh this guy makes me sick. "Please..." we walked into the room and right away I could tell something was wrong. What is this smell? It's suffocating. Why do I feel so... Oh! Damn him...
I woke up in a dark room still feeling drowsy until I heard someone's voice.
"And now what you all have been waiting for... Tonight's crown jewel." All though I couldn't see I could tell something was being lifted in front of me, I then realized I was wearing a blindfold. I heard gasps of admiration from people then the same voice began to talk again. "She would make a lovely decoration or sweet little pet. You could keep her whole and healthy or sell her for parts if you want to. Her eyes are two different colors, but for a certain collector that will add to her unique attraction." So I'm at a black market auction. "The bidding will begin momentarily." So that's what he is doing, he removes the prostitutes' organs and sells them at his parties. "We will start at one thousand." As my blindfold was removed I could hear the price going up by the thousands.
"Sebastian, come get me now." I said. The lights went out and people started looking around nervously. I could hear the sound of beatings, punches, and kicks as they came closer to me. The candlelight then came back on in a matter of seconds. I saw Sebastian standing in front of me with passed out people behind him.
"Really miss, are you good for nothing, but for getting yourself into trouble? How sad."
"As long as the contract remains in place you will follow me everywhere whether I ask for it or not wont you."
"This kind of contract is based on mark that the demon places on his prey. The more noticeably placed the mark is, the tighter the demon and prey are bound to one another. The demon serves..."
"And in exchange the prey can never escape." He bends open the cage bars that were holding me as if they were rubber.
"Yes, I will be with you everywhere, until the end. I will be at you side no matter what. Even if I should perish in this world, I will still be there in the debts of hell my lady. This is how I differ from humans, I do not lie."
"Good you will never lie to me no matter what. Understood?" He gently reaches for my face and leans in to me.
His lips lightly touched mine as he said in a sweet whiper, "Yes my lady." Then he kisses me. This kiss was full of passion as if to conclude that he would never lie to me. After the kiss I realized that he took of my wig and had thrown it aside on the ground. "You look much better with black hair than with brown." He cooed.
Blushing intensely and trying to regain my composure, I said, "I suppose this solves the Jack the ripper case, well that was easier than I expected." Sebastian just gave me one of his dumb grins going along with it.
"I imagine Scotland Yard will be here before not much longer. We should take our leave." He picked me up bride style and jumped out the window on to the roof.
"Wait, why do I feel like we are forgetting something?"
Claude's POV
"What do you mean they left?!" Alois snapped.
"He picked her up and jumped out the window."
"How could she forget me! How could she forget I am here!"
"Young mistress I don't mean to be rude, but... we are still at the party. It would not be good if people were to see you dressed like this."
"Well the hell with reputation! Let's go Claude!"
"Yes," I smirked, "my lady."
Time skip
Alois's POV
We had just arrived back to her manor and I burst through the doors, still fumed about her leaving us there.
"Ceil! Where are you!" the manor was completely dark, like every one had gone to sleep. "Helloooo Ceil, you have guests at the front door."
"Will you be quiet? We were sleeping." Said Ceil standing at the top of the stairs in her nightgown. I started blushing seeing her like that was just too cute, even though she looked pretty angry with us.
"Well it's your fault for leaving us at the party." I stated.
"What is all this racket for? Mistress you should be in bed asleep." Sebastian said coming from behind Ceil.
"Well it appears to me that we have some uninvited guests at this late hour." She sulked. "Any ways I'm too tired to think about this right now... let them stay so I could go to bed quicker."
"Really!" I chirped. I knew she cared about me.
"Sebastian show them their rooms, just make sure their rooms are far from mine. At the opposite side of the manor would be best. At least there, they shouldn't be able to bother me." She mumbled walking away, probably back to bed. Sebastian showed us our rooms and Claude got me ready for bed and out of that God-awful corset. Soon after I was in bed I fell asleep.
Ceil's POV
In the morning at breakfast, Sebastian came in with the newspaper and handed it to me.
"Jack the ripper strikes again..." I read aloud. "So then Lord Druett wasn't the murderer."
"Great I had to wear that dress for nothing then!" Alois shouted from across the table.
"I can't believe I was wrong about this..." I mumbled to myself.
