Dolls Part 2
(Recap)
I burst through yet another set of doors into a room. on the floor of that room was a symbol that was burned into my own skin. 'That day... My birthday... My life changed. As long as I live. I will never see a happy birthday again. Never.' I thought.
"Truly master, nothing good ever happens on your birthday, does it?" My eyes widened. "You lost your mansion, you lost your parents, and this time, you stand to lose Lady Elizabeth and Miss Lena as a frie...acquaintance."
"Sebastian!" I said.

"Take that back. Right now." I said.
"What do you mean?" Sebastian asked.
"I don't like you taunting me."
"Master. You informed me you had some business to take care of. This business, did it involve you endangering yourself in a misguided effort to rewrite the past?" My eyes widened. "Do you remember what you said at the frost fair about your body and your ring already being shattered and reborn?"
"I remember. You don't need to remind me." I said.
"Build it up with iron and steel, iron and steel iron and steel. Build it up with iron and steel, my fair Lady." We heard. I ran over near Sebastian.
The dolls burst through the doors "This means they defeated Grell." I said.
"Interesting, they seem to be controlled with the singing of that song. In that case..." Sebastian put his hands together and began to sing. "Iron and steel will bend and bow, bend and bow, bend and bow. Iron and steel will bend and bow, my fair Lady." He continued with this until all the dolls heads had been bent to one side. He knelt in front of me on the words. 'My fair Lady.'
"How are you calling a lady?" I snapped at him.
"Now my young master, let us go." He said.
"I think not. Ciel Phantomhive is now the property of my master." The man from before said.
"Property. Who do you think you-" I started.
"The proof is there. You're marked with a very ring on your finger. I know what it is. That is a Hope piece, the same gem my master sends as a token to those those were destined to be his dolls."
"What master?" Sebastian said.
"It's been decided. Ciel Phantomhive will become a doll. And exquisite doll made of silver and gold."
"Silver and gold will be stolen away, stolen away, stolen away ." Sebastian sung picking me up bridal style and jumped out the window.

(Sebastian) * I can hear the finally's already*
I landed on a bridge and set him down. "There we are your safe." I said. Then my master's hand struck my face.
"What about Lizzie or Lena? They're still in there! Did I order you to solve the recent kidnapping or didn't I. They are some of the kidnapped victims! Saving them is the first priority!" My master yelled.
I simply smirked. "An order is not the same as a contract. Just as you give first priority to the orders from the queen, I prioritize your life. I devoted myself to your service and protection all this time. I couldn't stand for you to be stolen from me now." I said, my demonic eyes showing. He pulled a ring from his pocket. "Young master?"
"Apparently the Hope piece is what mark the Masters next target. And I have two of them. Protecting me now will no doubt require some effort." He said with a smirk.
"I'm not afraid of hard work." I said bowing to my master. In the distance we heard a howl.
"Pluto?"
"I searched every corner of the mansion, but there was no sign of Lady Elizabeth or Miss Lena. The only place left is that sealed off tower."

We ran up to the tower. Up ahead I saw Grell and Pluto. "Hey now, come now, what's wrong with you puppy?" Grell said holding back Pluto from running to the tower.
"That's a surprise you're still alive!" I said.
Grell spotted Sebastian. "Oh Bassy!" Grell yelled running toward Sebastian only to have Pluto use him to get to Sebastian. "How rude! Wait a second, a demon hound, really?"
"You just noticed?" I asked.
"Oh la la! A passionate night with the demon hound! How exciting!"
"You really have no standards." Sebastian said. "Now I've been waiting for you, Pluto." He began to walk to the door. "This door has been sealed with unnatural power. One only a demon hound can open."
Pluto's collar began to shine. "Look his collar is shining." I said.
"So is the door." Grell said. Pluto transformed into his canine form and howled. "He's so big."
The door opened and he ran in. "He's run off again." I said.
"No need to worry. We will follow him and he should prove as a useful guide." Sebastian said with a smirk.
________________________________________________________________
We ran up a set of stairs until we came to a room. Sebastian looked at me and I nodded. He opened the door. The room was made of bricks and had many doll parts in it. On the back wall was a chair with Lizzie on it. Lena was on the ground leaning on the chair. "Lizzie!" I said running over to the girls. "Lizzie! Lena!" I gripped Lizzie's shoulders. I then realized that both of the girls faces looked like that of a dolls.
"Oh my, it looks like we're too late." Grell said.
"Wake up. Lizzie, Lena! Lizzie, Lena! Lizzie-"
"Ciel?" Lena's voice said I turned to look at her. "I'm sorry.'
"For what?" I asked.
"For not protecting Lady Elizabeth. If I would've remembered him before I could've gotten her out of there in time." Her eyes began to close once again but bolted open. "Wake her Ciel."
I turned back toward Lizzie. "Lizzie wake up!" I said.
Lizzie's eyes open. "Hmm?"
"Thank goodness your alive." I said.
"That's the ring." She said softly. I looked at the ring I had taken off the doll. "So did you like it? That makes me happy. So happy." My eyes widened. That's what was in the box she had brought me earlier.
"That was her gift for you. The one you didn't open." Sebastian said.
"How foolish. She didn't have to." I said quietly.
All of a sudden both of the girl rose in the air. "Then why did she? Why do their bodies move without their control." Two axes flew into their hands. "And why are they going to hurt the ones they love."
"What's happening to them?" I asked.
They both brought the axes over their heads. "Ciel move." Lena yelled.
Lizzie's ax went down. "No!"
"Sebastian get him." Lena yelled. Sebastian grabbed me and pulled me back as it Lizzie and Lena both aimed for me.
"No! No! No!" Lizzie yelled.
"Drossel stop it!" Lena yelled. There where tears in both of there eyes.
"Look sharp Grell. Can't you see what's happening." Sebastian said.
"I suppose so. But I would hate to chip one of my blade. So.." Grell said.
"Please do help us out Grell." Sebastian said.
"Oh Bassy. How could I deny you."
"Grell move." Lena yelled. I saw her ax go down toward him.
He jumped. "I can't have little girls like you to wielding a better blade than me." he said.
"Grell cut the strings!" Lena said.
"No Grell stop." I yelled. Lena and Lizzie dropped to the ground. I knelt down. "Are they all right? What happened?"
"As Miss Lena said it was puppet string." Sebastian said.
"Only a death scythe could have cut it with such ease. Well Sebastian aren't I amazing?" Grell said.
"Well done. Maybe you should run with scissors more often." Sebastian said.
"Oh I'm flattered to death."
"And let's see. Where does a string lean to?" Sebastian said.
"So I began thinking to myself," Drossel said as string tied around us. "I have three more dolls at my disposal. What material should I use for them this time."
"Indeed. And of what materials are you made of?" Sebastian said.
"Me? I don't know. What am I made out of?"
"I'm not sure. But whatever materials your made out of don't seem to be very high-quality."
"Oh my. So then I thought to myself: I have always believed I was human, but lately I often find termites crawling out of my ears. Isn't that strange?"
Sebastian had gotten the ax and kicked it up to hit Drossel. It hit him and the strings loosened. "Now Grell!"
"Oh Bassy we get to work together as one."
Sebastian used Grell to jump into the rafters. "You want utterly lacking in style. Your no butler." Sebastian hit the puppeteer in the head with the ax. Drossel landed on Grell. "I never lose to someone's so hopelessly inferior."
"That's my Bassy so stylish." Grell said.
"So he was a doll too." I said.
"His name was Drossel Keinz. His soul was collected about five years ago. By Lena I believe. But we still detected signs of survival." Grell said.
"He must have been fitted with and make shift soul. His master maybe."
"Ciel." Lizzie's voice said softly.
"You're awake. Let's get you home." I said.
"I want to...give you a real birthday party. Can we?"
I looked at her. "Okay. Let's have a birthday party." Lizzie closed her eyes and her face returned to normal. "You can rest easy."
I looked at Lena to see her in Grell's arms. "Grell." Her voice was almost unheard.
"What is it Lena?" Grell asked.
"Her birthday is next week."
'Who's her' I thought.
"I know. And she'd-"
"She'd be ashamed of me. I should have known."
"Don't blame yourself." I said suddenly.
She looked at me. "But it was my fault. I could have stopped-" She was cut off by a coughing fit.
Grell put a hand to her forehead. "Your burning up."
"I...know." She said between coughed.
Her face returned to normal, she stopped coughing, and her eyes slowly closed. She looked as if fighting to say awake. "Lena, rest." I said. She seemed to relax a little as her eyes fully closed and she fell asleep. "It's all over." I said looking back at Lizzie.
"It appears it is not." Sebastian said as Drossel began to rise off the floor.
"So then I thought to myself: I still have the task I must....report to my .....master."
"What's wrong with this guy. He's all torn up and he still wants to serve his master." Grell said laying Lena gently on the ground.
"Maybe I judged him to hastily. He may been one hell of a butler." Sebastian said.
Drossel went to a door. "Master...it's me." Drossel said then he was gone.
In the room was a chair with someone sitting on it and Pluto. "Why is he here?" He liked the persons hand. "And why is he being so friendly?"
"I'm terribly sorry. My butlers incompetents enables me to show you such hospitality."
"Your the one behind this. Why would you want to turn little girls into dolls?"
"Perfection is so difficult to attain, and when it is achieved it just finite. Doll making is noble work, preserving that which is beautiful in this world. A doll is the most beautiful and perfect little person. Forever frozen. And that half reaper is the purest I've seen so far."
'Lena' I thought.
"Why are you after me?" I said. "You won't win. I won't be made into a doll and I will never be a part of your collection. Here's your ring." I said throwing the ring at his chair.
"You ought to know your place boy." the man growled.
"What?" I said.
"My Butler's head was filled with straw such limited intellect I don't imagine that he could understand why I want you. Ciel Phantomhive, the butter of your death has been fated since you were born. That body you wear is unclean." My eyes widened and I had a flashback from when I was tortured.
"But how? How could you know of that?"
"I cannot allow someone like you to exist in this world. Your existence is a secretion. Unclean, unnecessary, unwanted, and therefore I tried to snuff you out."
"What?"
"Snuff him out. He is unclean. Unnecessary, unwanted. End him! End him! End him! End him!" The chair began.
"Stop talking!" I yelled running to the front of the chair to see a dummy and a little clown puppet.
"It's a puppet." Sebastian said.
The puppet began to move and laugh an evil laugh. It ran away. "Catch it, Sebastian!" I said.
"The person pulling the strings is elsewhere my Lord." He replied. "it wouldn't do us any good to chase it. Now I see there are hidden strings woven throughout the room. How very unpleasant."

"Bassy my love. It's time for our kiss!" Grell yelled. Sebastian dodged with Lena in his hand. I held Lizzie in my arms.
"Well young master, what should we do. Shall I avenge Madam Red?"
"Okay on second thought the kiss can wait. Bye-bye."
"Wait Grell!" Sebastian yelled.
"No, leave it." I said. "Elizabeth's here. I don't want her to see anymore bloodshed." I said.
"What about Miss Lena sir?"
"Take her to the manner with us." I said.
"Yes, my Lord."

(Lena)
My eyes fluttered open to find I was in a large room. I was in a white silk nightgown. My clothes folded neatly on the end of the bed. "I see you're awake now!" a happy voice. I turned to see Lady Elizabeth.
"Oh, Lady Elizabeth!"
"Call me Lizzie." she said. "I wanted to say thank you."
"For what?" I asked.
"Everything!" she said.
"I did nothing. It was Ciel and Sebastian." I said.
"But you helped..."
"Lena." I said.
"Come on now we have to get you ready for Ciel's birthday party." she said.
"Okay." I said a little confused. "Hey Lizzie."
"Yes?"
"Thank you." She smiled.
During Ciel's party father came to pick me up. I thanked the young Earl and the demon, said goodbye to Lizzie and the servants, who were sad to see me go, and went home with my father. The next week I was in a depressed state for come Christmas Eve would be my mother's birthday.
