Alice never had the chance to live the life her brother had, for being a girl brought no wealth to a family name. At the young age of one she was taken to the doctors, her parents noticed her having difficulty breathing. The doctor announced that she had asthma, her parents already struggling with having a girl had to deal with asthma on top of that. The two adults finally decided to give poor Alice up for adoption, and was soon forgotten by her three year-old brother, Ciel Phantomhive.

"You have a letter, young master". Sebastian said in a smooth voice. "And I believe it's from Her Majesty." He concluded while handing it to Ciel. Ciel opened the letter and read it though twice to fully understand the situation. "It seems there have been quite a few killings in down town London. Her Majesty doesn't like the idea of people being killed randomly. She believes the next killing will be taken at the S.T Francis Train Station." Ciel said putting down the letter. "Oh dear, I suppose we will have to cancel today's plans." Sebastian said in a sad voice. Ciel wasn't sure weather it was because of the killings or having to cancel dance lessons.

Alice awoke in cold sweats. While still trying to catch her breath she took a few seconds to remember what she was going to do today. While looking out the window she realized it was still dark. Good, she still had time to pack up her supplies. Today was the day she would finally escape from this hell-hole called an "orphanage." Everyone there was horrible to her. She was teased, neglected, and alone. Even the children in the orphanage treated her horribly, mainly it was because of her neon green eyes. At times her eyes seemed to glow but that was just the illusion of the color. Alice was tall, skinny, and sweet. Her long black shinny hair covered one eye but she always tucked it behind her ear, she had a heart shaped face that was pale, but at times her rosy red cheeks would show making her even more beautiful. Alice was a thing of beauty but after being tormented on her appearance so much she saw her self as a disgusting, vile creature. As she was packing up her bags she quickly mad sure she still had her chocker around her neck. She couldn't help it, that chocker was the only thing left of her family. As Alice opened the window she took a deep breath and jumped.

"Young Master"? Sebastian said will looking worried. "What?" Ciel snapped. "I was wondering what you were thinking". Sebastian said. "That is none of your concern." Ciel said angrily. The rest of the trip was an awkward silent one. As the carriage stopped Ceil took a moment to look around. He could not figure out who might have been the killer. Everyone there looked so… normal. He couldn't help but wonder why Her Majesty suspected the crime would take place here. "This area looks so casual I would never guess someone would be killed here". Sebastian said taking the words from Ciel's mouth. "Well, things aren't always what they seem". Ciel said trying to ignore what Sebastian said. Suddenly someone knocked into him making him stumble "I'm terribly sorry sir, please forgive my clumsiness". A familiar voice said.

Alice was on here way, she needed to go somewhere far. Perfect! She spotted a train station. "S.T Francis Train Station." She read aloud. Alice was proud of herself; she was the only orphan in the whole orphanage who could read better than a child her age. As she began to walk up to the train station she was realizing how late into the evening it was. Did she really spend that whole time trying to hide from the public? She began to realize that know one here knew she was an orphan trying to find a new home. While lost in thought she accidentally ran into a boy a little bit older than her. "I'm terribly sorry sir, please forgive my clumsiness" she said as apologetically as she could. She really was sorry. "Watch where you're going! I'm Ciel Phantomhive and will not be knocked int-!" Ciel was yelling at her when suddenly he caught a glimpse of her eyes. "Sorry…" She said before running, off. She was so embarrassed, she has to be more careful. When suddenly a stranger grabbed her.

"That girl.." Ceil said to himself. "Yes, her eyes are quite unique, but that wasn't all that I noticed". Sebastian said "Hmm, what would that be"? Ceil asked trying to sound bored, but really was interested. "The resemblance in you both was remarkable". Sebastian said. But suddenly gunfire was heard. "GO!". Ceil yelled.

Alice turned around in panic but saw a homeless man staring down at her. "Excuse me miss, but can you spare some cash. I need to catch a train to see my wife." Alice taking pity on the poor man searched for some type of cash, finally she found a coin of cash value and gave it to the man. "Thank you Miss God bless-.". The man was talking before he was interrupted by a bullet in the back. As the man collapsed on the ground Alice made a run for it. Never in her life has she been so shocked. "GO!" she heard the boy she encountered earlier yell at his butler. She watched from a distance of what happened next. The killer soon let out a bloodcurdling scream as his left leg snapped in half, what happened next was to gory to describe. After all of that commotion Alice realized she couldn't get a breath of air in. She started to panic suddenly a person called from the crowd to get help. People started to gather trying to help but failed. "Help her!" "Get a doctor!" "Is she chocking?" comments and yells were heard though out the crowd. Her vision became more blurry. Even though she couldn't breathe normally she was able to get some air in but not a lot, so she was able to stay conscious for about three minuets. "Asthma Attack" A tall figure said as it came closer to her then crouched down in front of her before she finally blacked out.

"Sebastian"! Ciel yelled out "Oh my". Sebastian said. "Do something"! Ciel yelled. "Young Master? She's just a stranger why out of all the people do you chose her"? Sebastian asked. "Sebastian this is an order. Help her"! Ciel yelled "As you wish my lord" Sebastian said while walking towards the girl. "Don't panic I'm a doctor. This is just an Asthma attack." Sebastian informed the crowd. Sebastian crouched down to take a look at the girl. Still he couldn't help think she looked like Ciel. Sebastian scooped the girl up and headed towards the carriage. As Ciel entered Sebastian was still confused and decided to ask once more. "Young master. Why did you decide to help her? You've seen many people before that were in need of help but just ignored them. Why did you do differently this time"? "Because" Ciel started to say "she… reminds me of my parents".

Sebastian smirked.

Alice awoke in an unfamiliar area. She was in a large bed near a beautiful window, she gazed outside and saw a beautiful garden near a forest. Just then a tall man entered the room with a black suit and tail coat. His hair as dark as a ravens wing and eyes a charming brown color. "Good morning I see you recovered well". He said in a smooth silky voice that carried a happy note. " Oh.. Uh.. Thank you? Alice said not knowing how to react. "Scones or biscuits?" The strange man said. "Umm… sorry for asking but what is a scone?" Alice asked. She wasn't used to eating such fancy food at the orphanage all they served was bread and water and the occasionally slice of meat. But the man just chuckled and left the room. Alice was so confused! Where was she? Who was that man? And what is a "scone"? But more importantly what happened? Why couldn't she breathe? For she did not know she had asthma and that was her first asthma attack.

"Well"? Ciel said trying to sound un-amused. "What? Oh the girl, yes she has awoken and seems to be fine. I can tell she isn't from a rich family" Sebastian said "How"? Ciel asked, "She hasn't got a clue what a scone is". Sebastian said grinning. Ceil looked as though he was untouched by his humor, but on the inside he found that absolutely hilarious. "When will she be ready to come down"? Ceil asked " In fifteen minuets" Sebastian said as he began to walk upstairs. When he opened the door of the guestroom to his surprise he found Alice fully dressed and prepared for the day with one foot out the window. "I, uh, was just… going to… save you the trouble of having to deal with me". Alice tried to explain, but was so over whelmed by embarrassment she was barely heard. "Well my Lady, what kind of butler would I be if I let our guest just run off"? Sebastian said trying to sound shocked. He liked her; she had that rare sprit you never get to meet. "Oh, well I didn't think of it that way" Alice said slowly. After all it was his job to handle guests. "Come, the master of the household wishes to eat breakfast with you". Sebastian said motioning Alice towards the door.

As she made her way down stairs she noticed a large painting that hung above the staircase. "Good morning". Said a voice, it wasn't as cheery as it was supposed to be. "Hello". Alice said looking at the boy. He was al little bit taller than her. He had dark hair that seemed to be blue, and an eye patch covering his right eye. "Sorry to be such a bother, I can leave now if you like". She said trying to leave this awkward situation. "Oh no that won't be necessary". Ciel began " There are a few questions I'd like to ask you". He said. Questions? If anything she should be asking the questions here. "The first thing I want you to answer is, who are you"? Ciel said with an attitude. "My name is Alice". She said "Alice what"? Ciel snapped "I… I don't know". Alice said sadly. "What do you mean? "You don't know""! Ciel yelled. It was quite obvious he lost his temper for the girl. "I don't know my last name because I'm a orphan"! Alice said, her voice rising from emotional pain. "I'm an orphan and I know my last name"! Ciel shouted. "What"! Alice yelled. "My parents died in a fire in this very house!" Ciel yelled while standing up. "I'm sorry"! Alice yelled but still sounded sincere. A moment silence passed. "All I have left of my parents is this ring". Ciel said showing her is dark blue ring "it's been passed down from generation to generation. It's seen all of my ancestor's deaths and see mine as well". He finished " I to have an item to remember my parents by" Alice said showing him her choker " I have never met my parents but I fell like I have before". Alice said smoothly.

Ciel just stood there staring at the girl. She was so different. Like no one he ever met before, maybe he could ask her to stay as company, but after that fight they got into he didn't know if she even wanted to be in the same room as him. So he decided to question her some more. An hour passed and Sebastian entered the room. " I have prepared a blueberry scone with a topping of sweet icing imported from Russia. Whipped to perfection!" Sebastian said while filling a cup with Earl Gray tea. " Oh my, it looks so delicious. I don't think I can eat it without looking savage!" Alice said jokingly. Sebastian chuckled " Oh, don't worry about that, after all you are a guest." Sebastian said informally. " I really must ask you to forgive my table manners, for I don't have any". Alice said in happy tone. " Then I believe it would be best for the both of us if you learn some." Ciel said in a negative tone. Alice was slightly offended by Ciel's rude comment.

Later that day Ciel and Sebastian discussed what will happen with Alice "Well young master if I must say, she is an orphan after all, maybe she could spend a few months here." Sebastian said in a serious voice. "No". Ciel said. "What? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you were rather fond of the girl." Sebastian said sounding confused. "I am, but I don't want her to spend a few months. I want her to stay." Ciel confessed. " But young master, you far too young to adopt a child." Sebastian said with a smirk. Ciel sighed, "I know, that's why I want you to adopt Alice." Ciel said in a stern voice "Very well, young master." Sebastian said trying to sound unhappy but you could hear that he was thrilled.

"Oh Alice, That little brat?" The head of the orphanage said. "Yes." Sebastian said in an annoyed tone, how dare that woman speak of a child like that, especially a girl like Alice. "I'll go get the little pain." The woman said leaving her desk. Earlier that day Alice successfully snuck back into the orphanage. "ALICE!" a woman screeched. "Pack your things a man wants to adopt you." The woman sneered. Alice was unbelievably excited. She finally had a home! (Not to mention a big one). As she packed her cloths in a trunk a child came up behind her. When Alice turned around she saw that it was Madison. Madison was a wicked little girl. She would tease Alice, punch her, and always had something hurtful to say. "So green eyes is finally leaving?" Madison asked sounding shocked "Yes, it appears so!" Alice was too happy to be put down by her. "Perhaps you want a little something to remember me by" Madison said. "What do you mean?" Alice asked "Oh I mean THIS!" Madison yelled while she sliced Alice's arm open with a knife she stole from the kitchen. "UGH!" Alice managed to make a sound that resembled anger and pain. She watched as Madison ran off laughing. "Great" she mumbled to her self. Alice grabbed the curtain hanging from the window and tore a bit off, then she wrapped it around her fresh wound. Oh well, wounds heal, and after all. She has a home now.

Sebastian patiently for Alice to make her way down. "UGH!" a sound of pain echoed though the halls. "So you're really adopting Alice" the rude woman said coming down the hall. "Why yes, I am. Does that bother you? Sebastian said. "I just didn't think people wanted green-eyed freaks running around their house." The woman said sounding bored. Sebastian turned to see Alice at his side. "Didn't she just hear what that woman said? How can she look so happy after being called a freak?" Sebastian thought to himself. Sebastian then noticed a cloth tied around her arm, the cloth began to stain with the blood oozing from her arm. " Alice? What ever did happen to your arm?" Sebastian asked sounding concerned. "Oh this, I got stabbed. It's nothing." Alice said in a happy tone. "How did you manage to get stabbed" Sebastian asked curiously. "Oh just some girl stabbed me, please don't worry about it. I really could care less. I'm just so excited that I finally have a home!" Alice explained. Sebastian smiled, such a strong soul. Sebastian and Alice left the orphanage and entered the carriage. A few moments passed before Alice spoke. "I guess this means you're my father know." She said. " I suppose it does." Sebastian said. Wow, he didn't realize he was a father until Alice brought it up. "Well, I can help with the household. Or cooking, or garden. I would be more than happy to help." Alice said, she noticed when she said that Sebastian was now her father he looked more distant. Maybe if she could help out it would lift his sprits. Sebastian smiled, then chuckled, then laughed for a while. Alice not knowing what she said began to smile "Well, at least he seems happy now." She thought to herself.

When they finally returned to the Phantomhive house hold Alice went to grab her bag. " Allow me to carry that" Sebastian said with his arm out stretched. " As long as you don't mind." Alice said handing Sebastian the bag. When they entered the house Sebastian looked at her " is something wrong?" Alice asked " Yes, it appears your losing blood very quickly." He said. Alice looked at her arm, he was right blood was rolling down her arm, apparently the bandage wasn't enough to keep the blood back. Alice now realized how light headed she felt. " Oh, I am. Should I clean this up?" She said in a daze. You could tell she had lost too much blood. Blood was starting to pool on the carpet "I believe what you need to do is lay down." Sebastian said sounding very serious. "Oh, no I'll be fine" Alice said sounding faint. The world was spinning before her eyes. No. She needed to get a grip on her self, a moment later the world stop spinning, she was able to think. Sebastian noticed this, "Such strength" he thought to himself, "it takes a powerful soul to be able to control their own health." Sebastian thought. Even though Alice did lose a lot of blood she was able to stand strong. "Sebastian I'm going to have to ask you to get me a wet cloth" Alice said in a different voice. Usually her voice was bubbly and sweet, but this voice was stern, cold, and serious. "Of course" Sebastian said. How he ever so wanted a taste of that soul.

This has happened to Alice on only rare occasions. Her whole personality changes when something is wrong. The only other time this happened was when a small child broke his arm at the orphanage. She gave everyone orders on what to do even though she had no idea what she was doing, but the other Alice did, even the doctors said it looked like a professional handled the injury of the boy, not a young girl. Alice was soon snapped out of thought when Sebastian returned "The cloth you asked for" he said handing her a damp cloth. She tied it tightly to slow the bleeding. It would have to do for now. "You look rather pale" Sebastian said with a smirk "After losing all that blood I would be surprised if I wasn't" Alice hissed. Sebastian was taken by surprised, his liking for the girl rose. "You seemed to handle that very well, most children your age would panic. How did you know to tie the cloth tightly?" Sebastian asked testing the girl's knowledge. "I'm not like most children, and I knew to tie it tightly because it would slow the bleeding, that happens because the vains that carry the blood are being crushed lowering the blood amount passing though." Alice said coldly. "Clever girl!" Sebastian praised. "You're right maybe I should lay down it seems very late." Alice said tiredly. "Yes, I should get Ciel prepared for bed too. Since you seem to be clever, I trust you can get prepared on your own." Sebastian said "If I couldn't what kind of orphan would I be?" Alice said mocking Sebastian's catch phrase. All Sebastian could do was laugh.

It was around three A.M when a sound from outside. Sebastian heard the subtle click of the window opening. "Oh my, who ever could that be?" he said quietly.
