Whenever I meet someone I always ask the same question, "What would you do if your whole world slowly started burning down before your eyes?"
Always, always the same answer, "I would run away."
At that moment I always reply, "But what if you couldn't?"
I've never gotten an answer to that. No one knows what I mean by that. Why? Because I believe a person's past does not need to be told to the world, only those who you care for, and care for you back. I've run into some decent candidates, but they're all dead now.
I travel, I don't know the meaning of "home." It has been a foreign word for me since who knows when. Oh, yes, I remember. That day when my world burnt down. I believe that is not very important for now.
Oh? Have you been wondering who I am? Well, all I have is one simple answer for that. I am the Queens Bird, nice to meet you.
"Sebastian," A young temperamental boy said, "please remind me why we're here again."
"Yes, my lord." The demon butler replied firmly, placing a hand on his heart with a slight bow, "I believe the Queen has requested us to scout out the area for terrorist." He gave a closed eye smile to his master.
The two currently chatting were known as Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis. Ciel was a 13 year old boy with a harsh past. He knew not how to smile a true smile. I was an Earl, a very young one at that. Taking over his families company after a horrible disaster on the day of December 14th.
Now, information on his companion was limited. All everyone knew him as was the loyal butler to the Queens Guard Dog. He was feared by people aware of his powers, all while not knowing what kind of powers.
Ciel grunted and walked on forward, cane in one hand with a paper in the other. An abandoned building took over their eye sight. It was an old hotel, old and rotted away. It was a muddy brown color with dead vines climbing up the sides of it. The paint was peeling off, and there was a huge hole where the roof should be.
Ciel looked down at the piece of paper in his hand, "This is the address, correct Sebastian?" He asked his butler with a displeased look in his eye. He absolutely loathed being here. He had to cancel a very . . . special appointment thanks to this job. Ciel pouted; and they had just gotten a new stove to make a cake for the next guest.
Sebastian looked over Ciel's shoulder to glance at the address. As far as he knew, they were at the right place. Sebastian sighed seemed to slouch from disappointment, he wanted to get this boring job done just as much as the Earl.
There was utter silence between the two as they looked around the building from the outside. Something felt wrong, but they had no idea what it could be. Sebastian took a step forward before a voice stopped him.
"I wouldn't get any closer if I was you." A gentle voice said toward the two. Both Sebastian and Ciel looked behind them, seemingly appalled. There had been a large pile of bricks, topping over one another. The one on top was a very petite girl who seemed no older than the young Phantomhive. Brown hair flowed down her back, reaching down to her waist. Her eyes, were seemingly welcoming, making you feel like you could instantly trust her. But the aura she let out certainly did not feel that way.
Ciel glared as he looked up at the girl on top of the bricks, "Who are you, and what is with your attire?" He questioned, not trusting the girl. He was taken aback by the girl's clothing. She wore a black tank top with a black leather jacket. Her bottom half was consumed of black shorts with thigh high socks with boots reaching her knees to match. Everything she wore was black.
She let out a small "smile" at Ciel, "Me? Well, let me just say it would be hard to do my job with one of those horrid dresses on, and as for who I am? Well, you'll just have to wait a little longer."
Sebastian took a stand and stood in front of his master. Fire was in his red eyes and he scowled at the young girl, "Why should I not take a step forward, miss?"
The female smiled at the butler and jumped off the bricks. Right as she landed, both males took a step back. The girl walked towards them, but Ciel and Sebastian stood still and made no more movements of cowering away.
"Well, all I was doing was warning you. After all, the buildings going to blow up."
Ciel smirked at the girl, "Heh? Is that so? Well I guess you're a girl, and as far as I know girls are always right, correct?"
The girl frowned at the boy and put her hands on her hips, "That statement was filled with sarcasm, but yes, girls are right most of the time. Honestly though, you two should get out of here if you don't wish to get ashes all over your bodies. In fact, you have 5 seconds."
Both the males frowned at her statement; questioning if they should believe her or not. She opened her mouth again with a light smile, "Two more seconds."
Ciel mentally hit himself; why was he even thinking of trusting the girl? Her statement was full of lies-!
"Zero."
A flash brightened the night as the building burst in flames. The old hotel looked more of a wreck than ever before. Flames were bursting out of the building after the big explosion took place. The sky was filled with smoke as colors of yellow, orange, and red caressed the building. Ciel could hardly breath with all the ashes, but the one thing he remembered most of that night was the grin plastered over the girls face as a mixture of questionable purple and yellow filled her eyes.
"Master?" Ciel briefly heard as he felt a light tap on his shoulder. He slightly opened his eyes and squinted his eyes at the sunlight. When he fully awoke, in front of him stood his loyal demon butler, looking down at him, "You seemed to have fallen asleep while doing work. I wanted to wake you to tell you it's almost dinner time."
Ciel gave him a weak nod before looking down at his lap. Dark circles were under his eyes as he groaned from the heaviness his body felt from lack of sleep. He stared out the window, a gray sky that looked like it was about to cry, but made no more too.
Sebastian stared at his young master, "Ah, thinking about what happened several weeks ago? That weird girl I presume? It was quite an eventful night." Sebastian lightly said to Ciel. He followed his master's gaze and noticed the look in his eyes, "I believe the weather was just like this that night. Very depressing if I say so myself."
Ciel turned back to his work and picked up the next paper, which happened to be a letter from the Queen. Sebastian saw the letter and both looked at it as Ciel opened it. He pulled out the letter and read his contents. He furrowed his eyebrows at the letter before setting the letter down, "Why is the Queen sending this person over a week from now? Besides who is the Queen's Bird?"
And why was there a weird feeling in his stomach?
"Your Majesty, why must I go see the Phantomhives?" A young girl with brown hair asked the queen.
The queen only smiled before patting the girls head, "Because, Alisa, I believe it will change your life."
"But I don't want my life to change."
"Oh, my dear Alisa, once your journey has begun you'll be glad you did."
Alisa trusted her words, but why was there a weird feeling in her stomach?
