It is so infuriating. She had been able to avoid every single one of them.”Her mother made a hmmm sound and leaned back in her chair.Her teacup in her hand was held delicately as she tapped against it with her perfectly manicured fingers.“Well, to be honest, I have no idea why you sound surprised, dear. Your sister has changed. She is no longer that timid and naive girl that lived with us and we could easily intimidate.”Reina scowled loudly.

She needed to admit to herself finally what she had understood and known for a while now.Which is the fact that she had also fallen for him completely.But before she could have done that, they heard the rustling sound and Ciel's protective nature had kicked in instinctively.He had shielded her from the possible danger with his body, and from whatever that may be hiding in the woods.“Stay behind me.” He said with a low and firm voice.She nodded, as her fingers gripped his sleeve subconsciously.She was not afraid of whatever that was in the forest, atleast.Her fear was the emotions within her heart, a truth of her life she needed to confront all this while.Some few seconds that appeared like minu
