Hey! Back for another update. I'm aiming for 200 reads, so please comment any ideas you have! I pretty well have this story planned out, but some ideas never hurt! Hope you guys like.

Ciel POV

I sat numbly in my chair. Sebastian, Victoria, and I were currently sitting in the manor garden having tea. My cup, filled with Earl Gray of course, sat untouched. My hollow eyes were just staring into space. Not even it's tantalizing aroma could snap me back into reality. I couldn't grasp what had just happened. Elizabeth hates me. Hates me. All I ever wanted to do was make her happy, and I managed to do the exact opposite.

Sebastian POC

"My lord..." I ask looking at him with concern. He simply waves me away without a second thought.

"I'm fine, Sebastian," he snaps angrily. I sigh as I watch him slump further into his seat. It pains me to see my young master like this. He was a mess. We had only been in the gardens for an hour, and his emotional state had deteriorated drastically. I wanted to help, but all I could do was watch him seep deeper into depression.

"My lord, I know that's not true," I continue.

"I've only heard about you from Lady Elizabeth, and even I can tell that something is wrong," Victoria chipped in. I stare at her as she speaks. She's twirling a piece of her lovely, black hair around her finger. I know it's selfish, but I couldn't help but wonder how soft her hair would feel between my fingers.

"Wait, she talks about me?" Ciel asked, perking up.

"Of course she does, why wouldn't she? I mean, forgive me if I'm not speaking the truth, but you are her fiancé."

"I was... But I don't think she'll ever even consider it now. After all, she said she," he paused, choking on his words," she said she hates me!" He cried. It broke my heart to see my brave lord break down. I was about to approach him, but Victoria motioned for me to stay but. I don't know why I listened, but I did. She walked over to Ciel, who was kneeling over trying his best to hold in tears.

"I guarantee that your wrong," she states confidently. He looked up, his lip quivering. Despite him being a grown demon, he still openly showed emotion. That's what I loved about my young lord.

"What do you mean I'm wrong?!" He yelled. She gently set her pale hands on each side of Ciel's face, and for some reason, I felt a new sensation. Jealousy. I shook my head of those ridiculous thoughts as she spoke to him.

Ciel POV

My eyes widened as Victoria grasped my face. She forced me to look her in the eyes. I almost got lost in the deep blue depths.

"Don't accuse someone of wrongdoing when you know they are right," she said coldly. Both me and Sebastian sweat dropped at her sudden change in attitude. "Now, young Phantomhive, let me tell you a story. The story of how I made a contract with my Lady."

A/N
Sorry! I gotta end it on a cliffhanger. Next time, you'll learn how Victoria and Elizabeth came to be!
