"I don't understand why we can't celebrate, the young masters birthday," sighed Finny while swiping away the fallen leaves, off the Phantomhive property.

"It's a special occasion, after all," continued Mey-Rin as she did her work. They both sighed at the thought of the young master not having a birthday celebration. They both paused as a carriage appeared.

"Hello!" Shouted Elizabeth from the approaching carriage,waving at the servants.

"Ahh!" Screamed Finny and Mey-Rin in terror as they hugged each other,not wanting to think about Elizabeth's cute antics. Elizabeth got out of the carriage and ran straight inside to go and see Ciel. While Paula trailed right behind her,holding a wrapped box.

"Ciel!" Called Elizabeth as she ran towards the blue haired lord, giving him a tight hug. Ciel took a deep breath of air when Elizabeth finally let him go.

"Elizabeth what are you doing here?" Question Ciel, hoping that Elizabeth wouldn't try to hug him again.

"I came to see you silly, and I have brought you a gift for your birthday tomorrow," told Elizabeth as Paula gave the blonde the box in her hand. Just as she was about to pass Ciel the box, Elizabeth noticed that the ring she destroyed was on his finger. And so she refrained from giving Ciel the box. "I thought that I broke that ring?" Commented Elizabeth, glancing at the ring on Ciel's finger.

"Sebastian fixed it," stated Ciel with a shrug.

"But I smashed it into pieces!" Protested Elizabeth. She had flung the ring onto the floor and so it should've been smashed to pieces.

"What kind of butler would, I be if I couldn't fix a ring?" Interrupted Sebastian with a smug expression.

"Elizabeth, what do you have in your hand?" Asked Ciel, trying to change the subject regarding the ring.

"Oh, this?" Hummed Elizabeth, showing Ciel the wrapped present.

"Yes."

"It's a secret," said Elizabeth gave a secretive smile to hid her sadness.

"Care to share," pried Ciel, wanting to know what was in the box.

*****

"No. Paula ring the bells," commanded Elizabeth to her attendant. Paula, who had previously been forgotten, she started to shake the bells for a few seconds, until Elizabeth pulled her to the entrance of the manor, so that they could leave. "Bye!" she shouted, before leaving with Paula.

"She came to see me just so that she could show me some bells?" Questioned Ciel in disbelief.

"Lady Elizabeth probably wanted to see you before your birthday tomorrow," told Sebastian, taking a pause and continuing. "And speaking of your birthday. Should I organise a party for tomorrow?"

Ciel was lost in thought, it was the day of his birthday when the tragedy happened. The loss, sadness, guilt and humiliation that he felt, that day caused him to swear vengeance, to make those who had wronged him and his family pay. And pay they did, while he didn't manage to get them all that night, he got some of them. Even now, he was continuing to look for the rest even if he had to wait for years, he was determined to make them pay.

"Young Master?" Questioned Sebastian, bring Ciel out of his inner thoughts. Ciel shook his head in dissatisfaction "Enough of this nonsense, go and make me tea and then bring it to my study," commanded Ciel with a sigh.

"Of course, my Lord," replied Sebastian, walking away to do as he was commanded.

*****

The carriage was stuck in heavy traffic in the city, Elizabeth sat depressed, Paula noticed this and so tried to cheer up the younger girl. "I think I should play my bells to pass the time," said Paula while shaking the bells.

"Paula..." told Elizabeth, turning her attention to Paula. "Yes, my lady?" Asked Paula, wondering what her young charge was going to say. Perhaps something about Ciel?

"You always seem so happy about everything," said Elizabeth, her eyes dimed slightly. Paula glanced down at her hands then back to her mistress. "I'm so sorry, my Lady," exclaimed Paula with a panicked expression.

Elizabeth shook her head. "I'm not criticising you, Paula. It's just you always seem so carefree and I truly envy that."

"So are you, my Lady," replied Paula. "I mean that you usually are, my lady..." Paula continued to talk but Elizabeth's attention was on the box in her hand. She opened the box, that contained the ring and stared at the cursed ring.

As if possessed, Elizabeth ran out of the carriage with the ring in her hand. Her feat pressed in the soft snow as she stopped outside of a toy shop. Going inside, Elizabeth looked at the many dolls and toys inside the shop.

"Welcome, little girl," said a man with bright orange hair and a tattoo located just below his eye. The unusual looking man was sat down on a chair, playing music.

"I eh...." spluttered Elizabeth, unsure on what to say to the man in front of her. She couldn't stop the feeling of uneasiness swelling up in her stomach.

"I see," said the man, eyes glancing at the ring in her hand. "You have the ring." He stopped playing the music, removing himself from the chair. "How unfortunate, the stone has not chosen you to be it's new Master," continued the man, walking closer to Elizabeth.

"I'm sorry sir but I'm betrothed," stated Elizabeth, the uncomfortablilty of the situation increasing. "Your eyes are like deep green pools but they hold a deep sadness. You cant hid it from me," told Drocell

Elizabeth couldn't stop the tears from falling as she explained why she was upset to Drocell. "I see, so that's why you are sad. A birthday present, was it?"

"Yes, it was for Ciel," said Elizabeth, drying of her tears. Drocell ushered Elizabeth around the shop. "As you can see we have many things in the shop," hummed Drocell as Elizabeth looked at the dolls and toys.

"Ah, yes nothing is special enough for him. So I think to my self. It's perfect, we'll give him you," mused Drocell with a dark glint in his eyes, many plans already forming inside his head. "Yes, you will do nicely."

*****

Ciel was pacing inside his study, digesting the information that Sebastian had just told him. "Elizabeth is missing!" Shouted Ciel, thinking of what he needed to do to find her.

"Yes, her maid said she lost track of her," told Sebastian, confirming what Ciel had just shouted. "Young Master, what is your plan of action?"

"We'll go to the last place that she was seen. Honestly, what was she thinking?" Sighed Ciel, frustrated at Elizabeth lack of care of her own wellbeing.

"First you should look at this," said Sebastian passing over a letter addressed from the Queen.

"The Queen wants me to help solve a cause with Scotland Yard," hummed Ciel as he opened the letter and began to read it. "A series of young girls have gone missing, their bodies have not turned up yet but they are most likely dead. The kidnapper sends a piece of the Hope diamond before taking them. The gem that we were recently after, who knew that we would be chasing it again."

"What now my Lord?"

"We do what the Queen asks of us, that is always a first priority since it is my job as a Phantomhive."

*****

In a darkly light room with only a single chair facing the window.
Drocell stood tall, taking his place behind the chair. "My apologies, I am very sorry for making you wait, Master. The next doll, she is almost ready," he said in a robotic fashion.

The person shifted in the chair, moving their hand along the wood. "Build it up with wax and stone, wax and stone, build up with wax and stone, my fair lady," sang the person, starting to sing 'London Bridge is falling down.'

"As you wish Master"

Ciel sent Sebastian away to make a suspect list and gather information while he went to search for Elizabeth. The blue haired earl was currently in possession of Pluto since Sebastian had forced the hell hound to protect him.

"Sniff it," told Ciel, forcing Pluto to sniff Elizabeths ribbon, only instead of obeying Ciel and following Elizabeths scent, Pluto ran off to another dog. "Why do you have to look for a mate now?" Shighed Ciel, annoyed at the stupidity of Pluto

Ciel tried to pull Pluto away from the dog but Pluto was much stronger than himself. "My oh, my oh, my if it isn't Ciel Phantomhive," announced Grell, making Ciel aware of his presence. The red head stood tall in the moonlight, adding to the dramatic effect which he was going for.

"You again?!" Exclaimed Ciel, not wanting to deal with the red headed shinigami, he had more important things to do.

"Of course. Who else would it be?" Asked Grell, flipping his long red hair as he jumped down from the building, landing besides Ciel.

"Why are you even here?"

"Shinigami business. Why else would I be here?" replied Grell with a smirk, he knew the lack of information would annoy the young Lord.

Pluto decide now was the time to run off again. Ciel and Grell followed behind him, only to stop outside the fron of the very same shop that Elizabeth went into. Grell pulled out his shinigami death list. "Now lookie here... number 37596 on the to die list. A mister Drocell Keinz a puppeteer for the Mandalay family."

The small group walked into the toy shop, Ciel picked up a doll that looked like Elizabeth. The doll had a small slash similar to Elizabeths A hidden door opened and the group went inside. The door led them to an outside area with a big castle like structure.

"Elizabeth..." called Ciel in worry.

"I though you were smart Phatomhive? Announcing your presence," hummed Grell. "But it seems that you truly do care for the girl. How cute," he smiled.

"Yes as a sister even though we are betrothed."

"How admirable." Ciel gave a small blush. If anyone said he had blushed, he would deny it.

The now identified Dorcell stirred a pot gold with a special spoon, Elizabeth laid unconscious on a wooden table besides him. Dorcell hummed 'build it up with wax and stone' repeatedly while he worked on his so-called masterpiece.

Ciel, Grell and Pluto entered the huge castle. Upon entering inside, they were met with a single girl, or what appeared to be a single girl....
