Raven's POV
I ran out of the door, tears streaming down my face. I was a bit uncertain where I was going but I didn't care at the moment. 'Why the hell did Sebastian kiss me?!' I thought angrily, wiping tears away from my face.

James' POV
While I was talking to Ciel and Elizabeth, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Sebastian and Raven were dancing toward an open door. 'What is Sebastian up to.......' I wondered. It seemed like Raven just noticed where Sebastian was leading her to. She opened her mouth but he covered it and both went through the door. "Excuse me, please." I quickly said to Ciel and Lizzie. I began to ran to where Sebastian had taken Raven.

For some reason, it was very dark in the hallway even though...Sebastian! That bastard! I began to feel my way around when I heard a noise come from the far left. I quickly went to the source of the noise, trying hard not to break anything. I felt a wall...no...it was a door. I was just about to open the door, but it flew open. Startled, I leapt to the side. Someone ran out of the door, crying. Was it Raven? I debated if I should follow her or confront Sebastian. My decision was made and I began to run after Raven.

Raven's POV
I kept running but I tripped over something. With a crash, I landed on the floor. 'Damn....my leg....' I heard some footsteps behind me. "Are you alright?" Someone said above me. ".....James....is that you?" I said hesitantly. The person picked me up bridal style. "Of course, milady. Who else would it be?" He said. I didn't answer him. "Well, let's get back to the ball, shall we?"

*Time Skip to Raven and James finding the Ballroom*

James' POV
"Where have you two been?" Ciel asked us. Raven and I looked at each other, uncertain how to answer. "Oh my! Raven, are you alright?!" Lizzie asked, worried. "Huh..Oh!" Raven looked at her ankle. "I tripped in the hallway." Ciel, a little suspicious, wondered aloud,"Why were you in the hallway? And where is Sebastian?" At that moment, Sebastian appeared behind him. "I'm here, young master." Ciel spun around. "There you are....where were you three?!"

*A few hours earlier*

Annabel's POV
When we entered Elizabeth's manor, I said that I wasn't feeling well and ran off to a random direction. I don't think anyone seemed to notice because no one was looking at me. I ran into someone's back. "Oh! I am so sorry!!" The person turned around and grinned. "Hello dearie.....it's nice to see you again...."

Max and I went to a section of the ballroom where it was quiet and not many people were around. "Max! What are you doing here?!" I exclaimed. He gave a small bow and said, mischievously,"I happened to be invited to this party when I 'accidentally' ran into Miss Elizabeth in town." I rolled my eyes. "Typical Elizabeth..." Max looked at me. "You don't really like Elizabeth huh..." He said quietly,"Why is that?" I looked down and didn't say a word.
