December 19th
Day 1
The snow danced as in floated to the ground. The trees were bare in the cold winter's mourning. I sat in the back of my new step dad's overly expensive car. Outdated music played quietly.
It had always been me and my mom. Yeah sure she had to work the night shift to care for me growing up but we had a system. Every Friday she would take me to the old diner (the one where she met my dad all those years ago) and we'd get milkshakes. She'd get double chocolate (her favourite) and I'd get mint chocolate. If I passed a test she's taking me to go ride houses at the Prep school my Aunt Becca coaches at. Every guy she'd bring home that I didn't like. I would turn down and she'd break up with them.
He was different. Vincent Phantomhive the Second was different. Tall, Dark and handsome (so my mom said multiple times) He was charming and rich. I couldn't bring myself to find anything wrong with him and I hated it. He bought her fancy gifts and took her to fancy restaurants. I hated it. He ruined our system. Within four months they were married. Apparently, my grandmother passed out when she saw the ring. To make matter even worse him and his daughter were immediately accepted into our family the day they met.
I looked up only to meet this eyes in the rearview mirror. His blue eyes looked as if they were pleading for me to accept. He isn't my father and never will be. My real father left when I was really young. I have been told that he was a terrible asshole that hurt my mom when they were together but Granny just hates every one of my mom's "partners" except one. I gave Vincent a mock smile.
Beside me, my new Step sister sat. Her name was Alexia Sky Phantomhive but everyone just calls her Sky. She had long unnatural navy hair (just like her father) and green eyes. She had headphones in and probably listening to One Direction or something. Her phone case was a picture of her and her Father. How much you want to bet that she wishes her dear father never married Rachel Morrow? (My Mom)
I hate him!
I hate his Prissy daughter Alexia!
I hate the fact that my mom loves him!
I hate Vincent Phantomhive the Second with a burning passion
My eyes drifted out the window. We were driving down a road in the bare forest. Without leaves the forest was gloomy. The snow whipped in and around the trees. One day I am living in Florida where it doesn't snow. The next we are moving to England where it snows for like six months out of the year. Plus when it's not snowing it's raining. I don't like it here at all.
"Hey…. Kit…. It will be okay" Mom said sweetly
She gave me her signature closed-eyed smile. She was trying to guilt me it to think it will be all be okay. Well, guess what mother it won't. It will never be okay. I have no friends. The friend I do have won't talk to me anymore. Have to adapt to the "Preppy" Lifestyle. After winter break I have to go to some fancy school and probably get made fun of because I don't know what the HELL is going on…. I don't think it will ever be okay.
"Hey Katherine," Alexia said quietly
"Yes"
"I just know you will like being a Phantomhive"
"I don't like change"
Vincent shook his head. My mother and Alexis glared at me.
"Oh… Well, I think you-
"ALEXIA! Don't even finish that sentence" Vincent said sternly
I look up to him. His blue eyes glanced up at his daughter every so often. Probably to check if his daughter was behaving.
My eyes fell upon my mother new ring. It looked expensive. the large diamond caught the light producing tiny rainbows every time she moved.
"Hey Alexia, What were you going to say"? I asked just trying to annoy her. "Because you sound like you going to say something about me?"
Alexia turned to me. Her blue eyes gleamed with hatred. She turned up her nose and looked away.
"I can't say it. Mum always said it was rude to comment on people background"
"Alexia! What did I tell you"
"Comment on my background!? At least I am not every single British stereotype out there!"
Personally, that was my best comeback ever but guess you can only use on British people.
"Katherine!" my mom said
"At least I was raised right" Alexia stuck up her nose
A stunned silence fell over the car. Vincent's hands tighten on the steering wheel.
"Rachel I'm sorry" Vincent apologized
"No No Vincent It's fine"
"Katherine Neve Morrow"
"Rachel Marie Phantomhive," I said mockingly
Mom just sighed and went back to watching the road and staring lovingly at her new husband.
It was all his fault that we had to move away
It was all his fault that I had to leave my friends
It was all his fault I have to switch school after the break.
I HATE HIS STUCK UP DAUGHTER
Tears threatened my hazel eyes. I want to be back in Florida with my friends. Longs day at the beach going surfing and getting tans. late nights getting ice cream at a twenty-four-hour ice cream parlour.
I miss my friends Courtney and Trevor
I miss the ocean's breeze every time I woke up
I miss home... I want to go home.
I looked at my phone. No new messages, No missed calls, No updates from Court or Trev. Maybe they already forgot about me. Maybe there are partying at the beach celebrating the fact that I am gone-
"Oh look Kit we are here" Mom's voice snapped me out of my terrible thought
I rubbed the tears out of my eyes only to see us pull into the long driveway of a large Manor.
"Wow" I and Mom breathed at the same time
Vincent pulled the car to a stop. He flipped down the visor to reveal a mirror. He fixed his equally unnatural looking navy hair….
Vincent sighed.
"Maybe we are early"
Alexis scoffed
"Dad, you know your sisters. We are probably two days late"
Vincent laughed. His laugh was sweet totally different from his personality.
"Yeah, Sebastian probably put their cars away before the even got through the front door."
"Umm… Who is Sebastian?" Mom asked
"Oh, Sebastian is Dad's butler for as long as I could remember. He was the man dressed in black sitting with my parent at the wedding" Vincent explained
Mom just nodded. Vincent got out the car. Once out he straightened his overcoat. He walked around to the passenger side door to let my mom out.
Someone out my door causing me to jump. The man was tall, pale skin. He had raven black hair and red eyes. The man wore a traditional butler suit. It had a tailcoat. He wore a stern expression. I can only assume that this is Sebastian.
"Miss Phan- Morrow" He offered a white-gloved hand.
Sebastian helped me out of the car. I mumble a small thank you which he responded with a simple nod. He then walked around to help Alexia out of her side of the car.
"Thank you Seb" She yelled
A boy who wore red pants and a black overcoat. He looks warm. I looked down at the winter jacket. It was one of Alexis's old coat that just happened to fit me. It was pink suede.
From what I could see the boy had headphones in. He walked over to the edge of the driveway.
"Good morning, Uncle Vincent, Auntie Rachel," He said with a wave
"Carver Good morning," Vincent said
Carver what a strange name but I guess I can't judge. The boy fell backward but Sebastian caught him before he fell into the snow. I looked over at my mother. Her mother gaped at Sebastian's skills.
"Sebastian can't you just let me fall once please" Craver's voice sounded tired.
Sebastian looked at him dead in the eyes and dropped him. Carver hit the snow. He mumbled a thank you and pull his knit cap over his eyes.
"You okay Carv?" Vincent asked
Craver gave his uncle a thumbs up. I looked around to find Sebastian who was no were to be found.
"Kit? you coming inside" Vincent asked cautiously.
"Yeah in a minute"
I watched mom and her new husband walk inside. Alexis followed closely behind her father. Part of me wants to stay and try to get along with Vincent and Alexis. The other part wants me to run. Run far away. Use the money I have saved and get a plane ticket. I want to go home.
I looked over a Craver. He laid quietly in the cold snow. I trudged through the deepish snow to where I was standing over him. with every breath, his chest rose and fell...
"Can I help you?" He asked without looking at me.
I never answered. Instead, I just sat down in the snow beside him. The snow stung my skin through my jeans. We sat in silence until I broke it.
"Soo you like laying in the snow."
Carver sat up. His blue eye stared at me.
"What? You act like you have never seen snow before?" He asked
"It doesn't really snow where I come from"
"Oh.. You must be Katherine. Our new cousin" He said falling back into the snow
"Kit"
"What?" He asked
"You can call me Kit"
"My name is Craver, But you can call me Carv." Craver stood up.
He offered me a hand. I grabbed it and almost effortlessly he pulled me to a standing position. I patted the snow off my pants.
"Oh Well Kit I think should show you around" Carver started walking towards the Manor
The house was a large brick Manor with Navy trimmed windows. It looked a hundred years old. Despite cover in snow, I could tell the landscape was beautifully decorated. I followed Carver closely.
The doors opened to a large foyer with a large staircase that split down the middle. I looked up to see a beautifully large chandelier. That looked really expensive.
"You must be Katherine. I must say you have your mother's eyes, and face" a voice said
I over at the stairs to find a small oldish man. The man had short grey hair. He wore a long blue jacket and blue pants that matched. For what I could see he had an eye patch. Behind him, Sebastian stood.
"Thank you"
"I am Ceil Your new Grandfather, I don't think we meet at the wedding" His British accent made it hard for me to understand him
Ah yes, the Wedding between Rachel Morrow and Vincent Phantomhive the second. I went home right after the ceremony. Look I know it's rude but I have never been one to party. My mother understood. Plus my auntie said it was boring anyway.
"Ahh Yess that night I had another engagement to attend to that I couldn't miss"
"It's okay," he said Carver will show you to your room and let you get settled"
Carver nodded and started up the stairs. I followed closely behind. As we passed Ceil/new grandpa I noticed that he had a little bit of navy in his hair. Hmm, maybe Vincent and Alexia's hair is natural.
After walking for a little while when came to a door.
"He is your room" He explained "If you need anything my room is right here and Edward's Room is on the other side of yours"
"Sebastian is the family Butler. Tanaka is the house steward (He is super old and very traditional. Mey-rin is the Maid (ring the bell and she will come). Finnian is the Groundskeeper/ Gardener (I won't make him angry if I were you). Last but not least Baldroy is the Cook (all though he isn't very good at it)" He explained
He turned to walk away
"Oh and one more thing….. Welcome to the Phantomhive Family... Enjoy your stay because you are stuck here forever"
