Chapter 11: The Boy

Annabel's POV
In the ballroom, there was no Raven to be found. I looked around everywhere and soon saw Ciel talking to a blonde girl. "Oh, Ciel! Have you seen Raven? I can't find her anywhere!!" I said, running up to him. "Oh, hello there!" The blonde girl said with a huge smile on her face. "Hello," I said to the blonde girl then looked at Ciel again. "I don't know where Raven is.." He said. I sighed. "Oh, how rude of me! Ciel, who is this?" I looked at the blonde girl. "This is Elizabeth, my fiancée." "Call me Lizzie!!" Elizabeth said. "Ok..nice to meet you Lizzie." "You too!"

*Time Skip to End of Party*

I was extremely tired and just wanted to sleep forever. I went to Ciel and said,"Thank you for inviting me and Raven to the party." "You two were guests in my manor so there's no need to thank me." He said, beginning to blush again. "Uh Ciel...you're blushing again.." Ciel grimaced, then took a deep breath. "Annabel....about the incident in the garden..." I began to blush too. "That didn't mean anything," I said quietly,"just forget about it.." I walked away from Ciel and left the ballroom. I headed to my room but just as I was about to open the door, I heard someone crying. I cracked open the door just a bit and saw Raven sitting on the floor, crying, and Sebastian stroking her hair lightly. "I promise I won't Raven." 'Sebastian won't what?!' I wondered. 'Should I leave them alone or enter the room?' I closed the door quietly and left.

Raven's POV
Sebastian was stroking my hair but I didn't even bother to stop him. He whispered,"I promise I won't Raven." I felt tired and fell asleep on Sebastian's lap without knowing it.

Sebastian's POV
Raven fell asleep on my lap, still crying. "I love you, Raven." I whispered. I picked her up bridal style and took her to the bed. I put her down gently, while wiping away the tears on her face. I then left the room and saw Annabel asleep on the floor in the hallway. I sighed and picked her up, putting her on the bed next to Raven. I shut the door and went to Ciel's office. I knocked on the door and heard a "Come in." I opened the door and saw Ciel looking out the window. "What is it Sebastian?" The young master asks me. "I just have a question to ask you." He looks at me, slightly red in the face. "Yes..." I smirked. "Have you fallen for Annabel, young master?" Ciel sputters,"W-what the h-hell are you talking about?!" His face turns into a deep red. "Have you, sir?" "D-don't be ridiculous, S-Sebastian.." His voice falters. "Yes, I have. Why do you care?" Ciel smirks as he says,"Have you fallen for Raven, by any chance?" Now it was my turn to blush. "Well, I don't...." Ciel stood up. "You promised to never lie to me, remember?" "I remember.." I said quietly."I have fallen for Raven, but I believe she doesn't feel the same way for me."

*Time Skip to Next Day*

Raven's POV
When I woke up, I felt dried out from all my crying last night. LAST NIGHT?! 'Oh my goodness!! I fell asleep on Sebastian!! Damn..what have I done?!' I decided to go for a walk to clear my thoughts.

As I was walking out of the manor, I wondered what Sebastian thought about me now. I had let my feelings be exposed to a demon, which he didn't have. Taking a deep breath, I walked away from the manor and into a forest that was nearby. An hour passed by, maybe two. I felt like I was being watched but I shrugged off the feeling. Then, behind me, it sounded like something was running. I turned around to see a person running toward me. They crashed into me, making us fall to the ground. "Oh my goodness!! I'm so sorry!! Are you alright?" A boy's voice said, worried. I looked up and saw a cute boy in front of me. He had dark brown hair and emerald green eyes with flecks of light green. The boy was taller than me but slightly shorter than Sebastian. He was slightly muscular but on the skinny side. The clothes the boy wore were black pants and a white shirt with black boots. This boy looked extremely similar to someone I knew....."James.." I smiled,"is that you?" He looked at me with a huge grin on his face. "Indeed it is, milady."
