A Rose By Another Name

Snake is a precious darling. Snake is one of the characters that I genuinely worry about, because even though he shares the same ability to take care of himself as the other servants (as the forest in Germany indicated), I’m so scared of what’s going to happen the day he finds out that the Circus is dead because of Ciel and the others. It’s like a bomb waiting to go off that we’ve all collectively forgotten about.

He seems to have fallen in as part of the family with the other servants, so hopefully they can explain what happened, that they were trying to protect themselves and Lizzie when everyone was killed, and hopefully he’ll believe them. Because I feel like if he snaps and gets angry, he’ll end up dead, and I really don’t want that. He deserves to be happy where he is.

Snake was actually kind of hard to color, because I didn’t know what to do with all of that shiny leather. X’‘‘D So I dunno how that came out, but at least the snakes turned out awesome. ^_^

Naturally she was scared, she was little, after all. Little with a sailor’s vocabulary. Wonder how that happened..But the ‘monster’ was right. She was scared of being alone. This wasn’t a win-win situation at all. What to do, she had no idea. “Just…go ‘way!”

“I can’t leave you, I am you fear…your anxiety….your guilt….” The monster replied and laughter bitterly at her feeble attempts to make him go away.

“Is it that you fear the inevitability of your family leaving you?”

In attempts to block the voice out, she covered her ears. Which really didn’t help at all. That’s nearly impossible for one to be all that. But the impossible is real. And that’s what made her uneasy.

At the question, she froze. Of course. This family, anyway. Her real one can just burn in hell. She didn’t bother answering this time. 

Naturally she was scared, she was little, after all. Little with a sailor's vocabulary. Wonder how that happened..But the 'monster' was right. She was scared of being alone. This wasn't a win-win situation at all. What to do, she had no idea. "Just...go 'way!"

“Hopefully.” She sucked on the candy lightly as she watched him. “Are you leaving?”

“Yeah, you’re a big girl now and doesn’t need me to scary away any fake monsters.” He smiled sadly and turned the doorknob, he stepped out and lingered by the door.

“The real monsters are the ones wanting to take me away, so you tomorrow…” He said and blew out the candle.

She frowned and sat up. “But you said you’d stay!” Whether she was what Peter claimed her to be was still being decided. She just wanted him near as she slept so she could have a decent rest. 

“But…but Peter!”

It was quiet, it was like he hadn’t even been there in the first place. The door was left open and no footsteps were heard, it was like he had been taken away by the shadows, never to be seen again.

Her frown deepened by how quiet it was, and how disappointed she was. If Peter truly left, he should have closed the damn door on his way out. Grumbling to herself, she crawled out of bed to close it, but after she stuck her head out, grumbling more before heading back to bed. She’ll be unable to sleep well, if at all, tonight. 

Peter was standing behind the door and she hadn’t noticed him, so he decided to play a little harmless prank…..by cupping his hands in front of mouth and making his voice deeper.

“Doll…..Doll….” It sounded like a monster was calling her.

Of course she hadn’t seen him. Once safely in bed, the girl groaned at the sound of her name and pulled the blanket up over her head before she “politely” told the ‘monster’ to leave her the fuck alone in Swedish. 

“Oh well….here I thought that I could get another snack….what a pity…that other one was quiet delicious….” Peter said in his monster voice and made dragging noises with his feet, he liked messing with her so much.

Doll paused then groaned once more as she curled up. If it was Peter playing a joke on her, which it most likely is, she’ll get him back. Somehow. But if it actually was a monster..she was fucked. 

“Go away!”

“I know it’s important. ‘At’s why i gotta do it meself.” Lucy told her. “'Sides, ain’t me first winter. I can ‘andle it jus’ fine.”

She slowly nodded. “I know but I can’t help but worry, Lucy.” Doll sighed then pulled her close. “Worry, worry, worry.”

“Dun worry about me.” The flower girl replied. “Worry ‘bout ‘ow many games I’m gonna make ye play wiv me come spring.”

“Too late, already am, little one.” A small sigh left her again before she smiled. “Why should I be worried? I’m excited ‘bout that, instead!”

“Good.” She grinned. “‘Cause Ye won’t ‘ave any free time wiv me buggin’ ye.” The girl told her, hoping to soothe the other’s worries.

“I always look forward to it, Luc.” Her smile widened a bit before she picked her up. “You’re gonna take up all my time, huh? I can deal with that.”

“Good.” She smiled as the other scooped her up. Lucy tensed for a moment before relaxing into the older girl’s arms. “Ye better ‘cause I dun take nay for an answer.”

“I’m sure you don’t.” Doll kissed her head before she nuzzled her. “But don’t worry, whatever free time I have will certainly be spent with you.”

Though she disliked such childish tactics as the one she just used, it seemed to work in making the older girl forget her worries. “Good.” Lucy beamed.

And it did work, even if for just a few moments. “Mhmm. So Luc, what’cha wanna do now?”

"Hopefully." She sucked on the candy lightly as she watched him. "Are you leaving?"

Her face fell as she watched him, almost in disbelief before she reached out for the candy. “Nej, nej!”

“It’s only a sentence, Dolly~” He teased and kept the candy inches from his mouth, he was just having fun and messing with her was the best.

Doll shook her head. Determined to get the candy, but stubborn to say the sentence. Not exactly a good combination. “Gimme!”

“I can’t hear you..” He smiled and even had his tongue inches from the candy, he was being pure evil at the moment.

She whined in response then made a final decision. She turned her head away. “Fine. Eat it.”

“Okay.” Peter said and put the candy in his mouth, he smirked at her. “Admitting defeat then.”

“Nej.” Letting him eat the candy and admitting defeat are two different things. One she’s okay with and the other is not okay. “Meanie.”

“Well your loss, good thing I came prepared.” He said and rumished through his pocket before he quickly put a Funtom candy in her mouth, wrapping and everything.

Doll was about to push him off her when the candy was put into her mouth, causing her to make a small noise of surprise. She pulled it out then momentarily glared before opening it and sticking it back in her mouth, muttering a thanks.
