Master Ciel….

You never smile…..Why?

Why don't you ever smile, or laugh, or even play?

Was it something I did?

Or were you always like this?

Master Ciel..

I want to see you…

Smile

A howl rang through wherever I am. "Plu..to?" I could hear footsteps running up stairs. But they sounded muffled, as if I was underwater. The door swung open. "Mercy!" Master Ciel found me. Good boy, Pluto. "Mercy." He sounded closer now. "Mercy!" His hands gripped my shoulders. I wanted to open my eyes, but they're too heavy.

"It looks like we were to late." 'Who's that, Master Ciel?'

"No...Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!" Master Ciel tried shaking me. I opened my lavender eyes. "Hmm...? Master Ciel?" He breathed a sigh of relief. "Mercy...Thank goodness."

"Where's Pluto? And...the book?" Master Ciel looked confused for a moment. "This book?" He pulled out the Edgar Allen Poe book I got him. "yea. It was going to be your present for tomorrow." His eyes softened. "Mercy..." My arm lifted up on its own.

Then my whole body. "Why does her body move independent of her will? And..."A very large ax landed in my hands. "Why does she hurt the one she..." "Shut up!" I yelled. My eyes shimmered a little. I swung my body backwards and pushed of the brick wall. I pushed the ax into the wall. "You will not hurt Master Ciel." I released the ax and used to push myself on the other side of the room.

"Pluto." He looked up at me. "Get me down." Pluto jumped and snapped the wires with his teeth. Sebastian caught me before me body hit the ground. "Thanks." I smiled up at him. He blinked, surprised. "Good boy, Pluto."

"Mercy, how was that possible?" Master Ciel asked. " I play with Pluto don't I?" He nodded now understanding. 'That was close.' "So I thought to myself" Drossel's voice came from above us. I was fading in and out of consciousness. Puppet strings tighten themselves around me, holding me up. "What shall I use to make my new dolls?"

I struggled against the strings. It wasn't until they fell to the ground did I see what was happening. Sebastian was up in the air and slammed the ax onto Drossel's head. Without the strings holding me up, I collapsed onto the floor. "Mercy!"

"Master Ciel.." My voice was weak and tired. "Mercy!" I smiled softly at him. "Can we have...a party tomorrow? For you?" Master Ciel's eyes hardened. Then they softened greatly. "Okay." I smiled at him. "Yay. And master Ciel...?"

"What?" I turned my head slowly at Drossel. "I don't like dolls either." Master Ciel chuckled. I slowly lost consciousness again.

"Happy Birthday, Master Ciel!" I giggled as I handed him some cake. "Thank you, Mercy.." Master Ciel was very grumpy. I sighed. "At least you're the same age as me." Master Ciel looked up at me with a 'huh?' look. "You're 13."

"Yep! I'll be 14 on February 14." I smiled wide. "That's Valentine's Day!" Finny exclaimed. "Yup. Anglea says I was her best Valentine's present ever!" I giggled and smiled again.

After Master Ciel's party, I wished him goodnight. "Goodnight. And happy birthday." I said as I kissed his cheek. I ran out of the room with a cherry red blush on my face. And I managed to see one on his as well.
