Four Little Witchilings [Black Butler]

Chapter 6

Lux's P.O.V

Sebastian carries me out to the garden and I'm greeted by three curious friends. Sebastian sets me in my chair. I see Nina frown. I then realize that i don't have my parasol. 'I must have dropped it after the explosion. I can't stay out here too long. 30 minutes at most.'

"For breakfast today, we have poached egg with a simple garden salad on the side. For drinks, we have Earl Gray tea." Sebastian informs us.

'I don't really like tea. I wonder if it's rude to say you don't like a part of the meal. It seems pretty rude.' I take a sip of the tea when Sebastian pours me some. 'It actually taste really great.'

I start to eat when a discussion begins.

"Is it fine if I ask you four some questions?" Ciel asks, waiting for our answer. I simply nod my head.

"Sure." The others chorus.

"Why did you four decide to visit London during this time of year?"

I look at the others. They don't seem to have a response, so I answer.

"Simply curiosity."

Ciel seems a bit intrigued by my answer. "Very well then, who was supposed to book a place to stay?"

"Lux." The others say in unison. 'Traitors.' But it does seem like something I would do. I hear Ciel give a soft chuckle. My cheeks turn red from embarrassment. Or maybe it's the heat. I can't tell. I'm already starting to feel a bit dizzy and it's only been five minutes.

"What are your titles?" Ciel asks.

Taika responds, and I hope she knows what she's doing. "We are all duchesses."

"Is that so?" Ciel turns to me. "Miss Lux, are you alright?"

My face is probably flushed or very pale. I don't know if I can tell him about the effects of heat on me without revealing that we're witchlings. So I just nod. I can tell that Sebastian doesn't buy it.

"Lux, did we not discuss this earlier?" Sebastian asks, giving a smile. "Now then, are you truly alright?"

'I've caused enough problems for them. This is one problem that can be taken care of on my own.' I turn my head the other way. "I'm absolutely sure that I am al-" I break out in a coughing fit.

"Lux!" Taika cries out. My friends leaves their seats and rush to my side. Kim pulls out a bag of cough drops from her backpack. I'm able to tone down my violent cough enough to take one. My coughing continues for another minute.

"I'm fine, guys." I assure them. They return to their seats and we try to act as if nothing ever happened. Ciel and Sebastian don't, however.

"Miss Lux, do you perhaps have any sort of illness?" Ciel asks.

"Not that I know of. Why do you ask?" I respond. Ciel and Sebastian look shocked.

"You did just have quite a coughing fit." Sebastian adds.

"It happens randomly and ends whenever. I can't do much about it 'cause I have no idea why it happens." I inform them. I finish the remains of the cough drop and take a sip of my tea.

I feel even dizzier than before, though. And I'm only halfway through the estimated time. 'I guess global temperatures are different or something of the sort. I don't know how things were in the Victorian Age. All of my knowledge of it comes from Black Butler.' I quickly finish my breakfast and wait for the meal to be over.

My breathing becomes more rapid. 'How do people stand any form of heat? It feels like I'm in an oven.' I try to focus my attention on something else. 'I really should've practiced that cooling spell. I can't do it discreetly yet.'

Sebastian P.O.V

Lux looks highly uncomfortable right now. I have no clue as to why either, because I know she didn't wear her corset. But she looks perfectly fine without it. I walk over to her and bend down. "Lux, is something troubling you?" I whisper.

"Nothing at all." She whispers back.

'It must be a personal matter. I should ask her when the others, or at the very least young master, aren't around. But she is a very interesting girl.'

Crystal_Turquoise: YAY!!! NEW PART!!!

I've been working on a new drawing. I'll post it when I've finished it.

I don't have a lot to say. I apologize for any grammar errors or character errors I make. Like I said before, this is my first fanfic. (And grammar is defiantly not my best subject.)

But do me one favor...
