Ellie putting the torch to his plans for the proper reasons caused him to sigh. "Very well. Let's just, I don't know. Try and lure him away. I'm sure Sebastian has the Viscount under a tight watch." He said, feeling slightly hurt. But it didn't matter too much. Robin's ideas for strategies were put down by even Joan herself.<br/><br/>He took her by the hand, keeping a collected face and acting like he told Ellie something sweet and gave a small chuckle as he lead her away from the party. He checked to see if the Red Death was following behind them when they entered a hallway, only for Robin to feel an intense pain on his head, causing him to fall over in shock. The last thing he could see before blacking out completely was the Red Death that was following them looking down at him and directing a henchman who held a rag over Ellie's face.<br/><br/>"No...take..." Robin muttered before passing out.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Robin? Robin, wake up!"<br/><br/>Robin opened his eyes at the voice and glared. "What do you want?" <br/><br/>"You're trying to break the curse again, have I not been a kind benefactor? I who gave you great power?" Mocked the voice. "Maybe it's time your soul and mine finally merge as one."<br/><br/>"No. I will not become you. Begone!"</span><br/><br/>------<br/><br/>"Wake up Robin. Well done. Although having those men get the drop on you like that. You must be slipping." Sebastian stated as the Immortal Teen woke.<br/><br/>"Where's Ellie?"<br/><br/>"In a room at the end of this wing. I cannot intervene unless ordered. You on the other hand can." Sebastian explained, the now unmasked Grell was still in shock at seeing Robin and even gone about to exclaim;<br/><br/>"What the heck is the Cursed Page doing here?!"<br/><br/>"Not now! I don't even have a weapon.." Robin trailed off as Sebastian presented a Katana.<br/><br/>"From friends in the Orient." Sebastian remarked as the Page took it and hurried onwards.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>"Well, this is a surprise. I guess my family can have its vengeance on those little Phantomhives after all." Uttered the Man dressed as the Red Death looked at Ellie in a closed off room. "Are we almost awake now? Good. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Antonio Varell. Your Father dismantled My older brother's operations. We never forgot that. But when I heard he was dead I lost hope for what I wanted, but then I found you."<br/><br/>Antonio turned to look at Ellie as he took off his mask. "So unless you want me to send you back to your estate in pieces, My demands will have to be met. Or else."<br/><br/>Outside the room however, was the sound of men being cut down in a quiet manner, interrupting Antonio. Robin calmly opened the door, the Katana Sebastian loaned him speckled red with the blood of Antonio's guards. "Oh, I'm sorry, am I late?"
