Chapter 27: The Candle

The Voice's POV
I heard people murmuring when I said that we were looking for Raven. "Raven, can you please come to the front of the room?" There was no response. "You know, it would be better if the lights were on!" A man said a bit angrily. "I'm sorry, but none of you can see who we are." I said. There were even more murmurs. "Who exactly are you?" A woman asked.

James' POV
Sebastian guided Ciel, Lizzie, Raven, and I to an empty corridor. He quickly found a candle and lit it. "Where's Annabel?" Raven asked. 'Damn...I forgot all about her...' Everyone looked at each other. "I distinctly remember her entering Lizzie's manor..." Ciel muttered. He looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian, go find Annabel." Sebastian gave a small smile and bowed. "Yes, my young lord." He gave the candle to Raven and went out of the corridor. I saw Raven bite her bottom lip. "Oh, I do hope she's alright..." She said quietly.

Annabel's POV
I felt Max carrying me bridal style. 'Eh?!' I was embarrassed. "Hold on, dearie." Max whispered. I nodded and put my arms around his neck. Max jumped high and I was tempted to scream. We landed on top of something but I didn't know what. "Who exactly are you?" I heard a woman say. The deep voice said,"I'm afraid that that is information that cannot be said." "Max?" I asked quietly,"What are you doing?" "Trying to find some people..." He muttered. He leapt off what we were on top of and landed on the floor quietly. "Follow me..." A voice whispered,"and I will lead you to where the others are..."

Ciel's POV
While Sebastian was looking for Annabel, Lizzie was freaking out. "Oh my!! Who is that person who came to my ball?!" She squeaked. James shrugged. "I don't know, Lizzie, but the main question is if the person is dangerous or not." Sebastian then came into view. "Where is Annabel?" I asked. He smiled and said,"It seems that someone had found her before I did." I then saw two people appear in the candlelight. A man was carrying Annabel bridal style. He gently put her down and smiled. "Why, you must be Ciel Phantomhive! It's a pleasure to meet you." There seemed to be something off about him, but I couldn't tell what....
