A/n 1/18/2013: I rewrote Strange Circumstances, more like combined chapters and deleted stuff from the original story. It turned out to be six chapters all together. Geez, that's short. But I promise the sequel will be longer than that. I'm aiming for 20 chapters, but we'll see. So, please enjoy Strange Circumstances, revamped!
Chapter 1: His Butler, Unknowing
Ugh, what a horrible dream I had last night. Tossing and turning all night and I hardly got any sleep last night and I have school today also. Great.
I wake up from my sleepless night to find myself in a large white canopy bed with blue curtains surrounding it. The room is completely white expect for the blue curtains hanging on a curtain rod from the window and a nightstand that contains a dart target board, a set of darts, a black eye patch, and two rings: one is entire gold; the other has a big blue gem set in silver. …Huh? Geez these pajamas are really comfortable and they seem to have been made of silk. But, I don't recall owning a pair…Hmm…I wonder what time it is? The clock in the room reads 8:00. 8:00?! Holy shit I'm late for school! I get up from the bed really fast and look for a dresser or a closet so I can change out of these pajamas. However, no luck. Not a single piece of clothing can be found in this enormous room. I check the time again. 8:29. Wow I just wasted a half hour for nothing!
Knock. Knock.
There's a knock on the door.
"Master?"
Shit.
I race back to the bed and put back on the covers and pretend to be asleep.
"Master, it is time to get up now."
A butler dressed in black comes into the door with a tea set and a change of clothes on a cart into the room. I sit up on the huge bed and pretend to yawn as if I'd just gotten up. He then goes to the windows to tie back the window curtains. He starts pouring the tea and says, "For breakfast, I have prepared a lightly poached salmon accompanied with a mint salad. I can offer toast, scones, or pain de campaigne. Which do you prefer this morning?"
I fake a yawn and reply, "Scone, please." The butler stops pouring the tea and stares at me intensely as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"Excuse me for asking this young master but did you just say please?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, it is just that you never said that to me or to anyone before so it seems odd that you'd start now."
I look up at the butler about to say something back and I stop myself because the person who has been speaking to me is Sebastian Michaelis! Bu-bu-but he can't be here! I mean he doesn't even exist! He's a manga character for goodness' sake! I must be dreaming! "Ah…" I tried to reply but I couldn't. I have no explanation for why I had said that.
"Just forget it. I must be still a bit tired if I said 'please'."
"As you wish, master."
He hands me a cup of tea, tells me today's schedule, and starts to undress me.
!
Instinctively I slap his hand away and cover myself with the same hand. Sebastian looks at me with shock and asks, "Are you sure you got enough sleep last night young lord? Because you don't seem to be your self this morning."
But I didn't hear him because I was feeling my chest. Hold on a sec. Why is my chest flat as a board. I'm not that flat-chested! Wait a minute … wait a freakin' minute! I know this place from somewhere. I just can't seem to remember. Hmm… let's see…butler in black (Sebastian)…the interior of the room… the tea…and the right eye! Of course the right eye! If my suspicions are correct, then… I quickly scan the room for a mirror. There's one over on the wall opposite of the bed. I run to the mirror and take a real good look at my reflection.
"Young master, are you alright?" Sebastian asks, worried.
I ignore him because I'm too busy comprehending what I'm seeing in the mirror. I see a young boy, about twelve years old, with blue hair and eyes but the right eye has an upside down star within a circle within a larger circle with spikes around said circle etched into it. There are strange symbols around the star. So my suspicions were right. I am in Ciel's body. What the hell?!
