Chapter 1: Alice's P.O.V.
When I got off the boat I saw my cousin, Finny.
"Alice!" He yelled when he saw me. He ran over and hugged slightly. "Alice, oh my goodness! You've grown so much sice the last time I saw you!"
"That's because that was two years ago. I was 10 then Finny." I said unenthusiasticallly.
"What's wrong Alice?" Finny asked. I looked at him tears welling in my eyes.
"Finny," I gasped and wrapped my arms around my cousins torso. He held me there for a few moments while I soaked his shirt with my tears He then lead me to the carrige and let me lay my head in his lap.
"What is wrong Alice?" Finny asked worriedly.
"Do you want to know why I had to move out here with you?" I paused for a few seconds knowing he wouldn't answer so I went on. "My parents died two months ago and they have been trying to find family. When they found you all my emotions came out again. Now seeing you, it just hurts my heart, and on top of all that I had to leave all my friends behind in America." I said in between sobbs.
"Well you could be the young masters,"Finny started but didn't finish before I fell asleep.
When I woke up we were at the Phantomhive manor.
"Well, welcome to the Phantomhive Manor." Finny said.
I walked to the door following Finny. He opened the door.
"Finny, Mey Rin aquires your help in the other room." A tall man in a black tailcoat said.
"But I must show my cousin around the manor." Finny objected pointing a finger in my direction.
"I will take the liberty of showing the young mistress the manor." The butler, I was guessing, replied. Finny nodded in defeat and headed toward a large door. The butler then looked toward me and smiled demonically. "Well then miss, would you like to see your room?" I nod slowly and follow the butler. Then there is a small yell.
"Sebastian! Come here now." A voice commands. The butler looks at me and signals for me to follow him. I do so and we come to a small office. The butler walks in and I don't follow. "Sebastian?" What sounds like a young boy asks.
"Yes Young Master." The butler replys.
"I heard we had a guest. Where is she?" The young boy asks.
"She is the hallway Young Master. Would you like to meet her?" Sebastian replied.
"Yes bring her in." Sebastian then turns around to come get me as if I hadn't herd the whole conversation. He leads me through the door and then the young boy starts to talk again. A few moments of awkward silence occurs. I am staring at the ground feeling the eyes on me. "Well?" The young boy says. I look up. "Introduce yourself."
"Um, I'm Alice, Finny's cousin." I say still staring at the ground. I haven't seen the young boys face yet and I don't think he has seen me.
"Well, you're not going to look at me?" He asks. I stare at the ground a while longer,while I feel tears welling in my eyes.
'No not here. Anywhere but here.' I think to myself. Then the tears start coming. "I'm sorry." I say quietly and then run out the door. I run and run and run until I am somewhere I don't recognize in the house. I then just sit there and cry. I feel eyes on me again. I look up.
"Are you that afraid of me that you would cry?" The young boy asks retorically.
