A/N: So, lately I've been obsessing over Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler a lot. When this idea for a FanFiction came to me, I tried to not write about it unless the idea would not leave my head. Well, it didn't so this is why you are reading it. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji in any way, shape, or form!
Alana Nottings smiled down from the top of the stairs on the cruise ship. She never thought her sweet 16 would be this sweet. When her older brother, Sebastian, affectionately called Seb, Nottings, suggested her family throw the party on a cruise ship, she was certain her parents would say no. It wasn't because of money, they had more than enough, but because her mother was very adamant that things always go a certain way. If she couldn't make sure everything would end right, her mother usually said no. Alana had no idea what her brother could have said, but she was glad he did it.
Standing at the top of the grand stair case outside, Alana could see her entire party deck. Music floated up to her from the D.J. booth. There was a slight wind that cooled the August night and lifted her white dress around her. Not only was this her 16th birthday, it was also an end of the summer party. Her private school in New York started back up in two weeks; this was her last summer hurrah.
Alana's hair flowed behind her and over the back of her dress in the wind. It was a white strapless dress with many layers that swayed at her slightest movement. Seb had picked it out for her. Alana and her brother were extremely close. He was 18 and about to start his senior year. Alana had no idea what she would do without him, but she would soon find out.
Seb was Alana's closest friend. There were a lot of girls at school that fawned over her for her status and money, but she had no time for that. The brother and sister spent many nights curled up next to each other whispering their worries. Other than a few semi close friends, no one knew anything about Alana. The social part of the family had skipped over her and was added to Seb. He dragged her to parties and while he was out mingling, she sat quietly and texted the family gardener, a 20 year old woman named May and other wait staff at her mansion. She thought they could all use some time to relax, so she invited them all to her party. Despite having so many admirers, Alana always had a feeling someone was against her, which was why she didn't trust anyone.
"Al!" She flinched at the sudden call for her. Alana looked toward the bottom of the stairs and saw Seb running toward her. She smiled and opened her arms to him. He slowed to a walk to tease her and make her wait. Alana sighed and smiled wider. She watched as the wind played with his short blond hair, the same color as hers. It has always seemed as if the two were looking in a mirror as they looked into each other's faces. Seb was now ten steps down from Alana and he stopped.
"Are you enjoying your party?" he yelled up to her.
"Of course," she nodded.
"Then why are you standing up here all alone?"
"Just admiring the scenery dear brother," She laughed.
"May I join you?" Seb bowed to her slightly.
She bowed back, "Well of course."
He began walking up the final steps to her. They held their arms out to each other just as Seb slipped on the last stair.
Alana caught her brother suddenly, "Seb," she laughed, "You're going to make the birthday girl in the formal dress pick you up?" he didn't respond. She looked down at him and fell to the steps as a scream was held in. His white tie was blooming with blood. Suddenly, more shots rang out and people began screaming. Alana stood up and dragged her brother with her down the stairs.
"Mother! Father!" she cried out. She found them holding hands, dead. She looked around. Tears were running down her face as she saw people all around her shot and killed. Not far from her parents Alana found the family butler, Matt. He was around 30 and he had always but the family's best interest in mind. Watching the blood seep through his white shirt frightened her. She looked at the ground around her parents and realized all of the wait staff she had grown up with was dead around her parents, as if protecting them. Little did that do.
The boat lurched and she felt herself falling. The boat was sinking. Someone was killing everyone around Alana and trying to kill her. Seb began to fall out of her grasp as water rose around them.
"Sebastian!" She screamed, "Sebastian no! No, come back! I need you! Don't go" cold water filed her mouth and her giant dress began pulling her down. Her thoughts bounced around her head in a cloud.
"Who would do this?"
"Why would someone want to kill me and my family?"
She thought about an old story Grace, the old maid, had told her about demons. Her thoughts stayed there for a long time, wishing they were real and thinking of ways to call one. Her mind was foggy and she wasn't even sure of her thoughts right now. She felt her dress swirling in the water and wrapping around her body. A burning was filling her lungs.
"I can't die!" She thought as she tried to pull her brother's body closer to her.
"Seb is gone…." She would never again sing along with his piano playing. They would never go on their walks together. A thought kept pounding in her head and it made her hear hurt.
"Never. Never. Never. Never. Never again"
Her parents were gone. Her wait staff, her brother, dead. She thought again of the demons, wondering if one could help her, but she knew it was all a fable.
"I must take revenge."
Her thoughts became clouded as water filled her lungs and she began to fade even more.
"I would make a deal with the devil to avenge my family."
"Would you make a deal with a demon?"
She turned in the water, frightened by the voice that was so clear. This wasn't happening. Her mind was making up a story while she passed.
"Yes, anything!"
"Even if it cost you're soul? Once this is done, it cannot be undone."
"I will have no reason to live without my family."
"Then name me, I will mark you, and I will be your servant. I will follow your every direct order and protect you till the end. Once you have had your revenge, I will take your soul for myself."
Alana knew she was losing it. Everything was going dark as she thought her final crazed words, "I shall name you….. Sebastian" She closed her eyes in the water.
A white hot burning sensation began over her heart. This was it, Alana was dieing. Her dress swirled around her as she struggled. The burning became unbearable and as she faded into death she heard five words:
"It is done, my lady"
A/N: So I hoped you all liked the first chapter. I know it was kind of short, but it had some great details that help set up the story. Please review and tell me what you think. In the next chapter Alana will get to meet Sebastian for the first time, and I'm excited to plan out her revenge and learn who is after her! Till next time!
