Twins at Heart
Chapter 1: Grown up
"Happy Birthday, Ciel!" Elizabeth shouted in shouted.
It was December 14th, the most disastrous time of year for the young man at the end of the table. He wore a royal blue outfit similar to the one he wore when he was young, along with the blue diamond hope ring on his right thumb, black eye patch over his right eye and a frown. The one eye that could be seen showed annoyance His hair was just above his eyes, oh how he wished they where longer right now. His dinning hall was decorated in blue, pink, and green decorations. Almost everyone one he knew was there. Almost. Everyone was there but his family that was murdered 8 years ago. He lost his mother and father, and vowed revenge. Sebastian, Ciel's personal butler, watched the boy scowled for a few moments as he was deep in thought.
"Young master?" Sebastian called; when the boy didn't answer he tried again.
"Young master."
Ciel looked up from his thoughts to his butler on his right.
"Is there something the mater my lord?" the man asked.
"No, just thinking."Ciel replied.
"If I may ask, of what?"
"Of his Sister I believe." Tanaka said stepping forward.
By this time all eyes had fallen on the three, for no has mentioned his sister since, the incident.
"She was the master's best friend as a child, she was…" Tanka said before Finny, the gardener, came running in breathless.
"M-master! There's someone at the door!" the blond boy said.
Ciel confused and slightly angry rose from his chair and headed to the door, the party following after him. When Ciel opened the door the room fell silent. There in the door way stood a female dressed in a pure white dress with navy blue ribbons, some in her hair.
"Happy 18th birthday big brother." Was the young woman greeting to Ciel.
"L-little sister?" Ciel said disbelievingly.
"You don't believe me?" the woman questioned.
Ciel grabbed the girl and hugged her tight."You're alive" he sighed happily.
"That can't be her." The crowd murmured.
Ciel let her go before she cleared her throat and spoke,
"Hello everyone, some of you may remember me from when I was a child. I am Ciel's twin little sister, Violet Phantom-hive. It is a pleasure to be here with my brother after so long."
No one said anything for a few moments before Sebastian spoke.
"Welcome home my lady and happy 18th birthday as well." He said as he bowed.
"Thank you, um, may I ask for your name?" Violet asked her royal blue eyes gleaming curiously.
"I'm Sebastian, my lady." he replied.
"Vio?" A small voice called from the crowd. It was a teary eyed Elizabeth.
"Hello Liz." Violet smiled.
"What happened to you? We all thought you were dead."
"Let's all sit down so we can listen to her story." Ciel said.
Everyone moved to the dinning hall and took there sets, Ciel at one head of the table violet at the other. The servants severed the guests silently. She saw one face that stood out the most. It was Brad, the chief. Violet smiled softly to herself.
"So dear sister, your story please."
"Well although it pain's me to say, I will. About an hour before our home was set a blaze I had taken a walk through the rose garden with you. It was a peaceful night, that is, in till we were ambushed from behind. They knocked us both unconscious rendering us useless. I woke up long enough to see my captures set fire to the house and you running back into the house for mom and dad. When I awoke 2-3 days later I found my self locked up with other girls. Their age ranged from 16-18. I was a 10 year old who at this point thought she had lost everything near and dear to her.
The others and I were locked up for about a week before we were cleaned, fed and dressed. We were heading to an underground auction. All the other girls had been sold before I was brought on stage. I was dressed in a puffy short skirt, a sweater that was two sizes two big on me. My hair was styled in two pigtails as I cowered behind my bangs. My biding came down between two men. A Soldier and a drunken man. It wasn't long before the Soldier outbid him and won. After the biding I was placed in the mans carriage and told to wait. A few moments later the soldier and a man came in. As we rode in silence I had decided that the new stranger was the general. Given his speech an awards present upon his uniform.
They idly chattered along the ride, occasionally glancing at me. Almost studying and deciding what to do with me. The general had dark brown eyes and matching hair. He wore crisp dark green uniform and polished brown shoes. He looked to be 42, maybe older. The Solider on the other hand looked to be at lest in his mid twenties. The blond hair he had fell in front of his sky blue eyes that shined with so much strength. His uniform was a light brown and worn down a bit. We eventually arrived at our destination. The military base. I was take in and rose by 100 men and women. I trusted only one though. I had stayed At London's military base for two years before we fell under attack. To insure my safety, I was sent away. Away to an all girl academy. I was enrolled by the name, Sophia Elise." Violet sighed but sighed by catching the flash of recognition upon brad's face.
"The last person I saw was the only person that I trusted with my and also the first one I met upon my kidnapping. It was…" Violet continued.
"It was me, wasn't it my lady." Brad said speaking up.
"Yes it was sempai."
"I was unaware that you were my master's long lost twin little sister"
"That's quite alright."
"Violet, is that all to your story?" Ciel interrupted.
"Ah yes, well I continued my schooling in till about a month ago. When I graduated however, I received a letter addressed from the queen." Violet said holding up the crimson letter, a devilish smile upon her lips.
The room stilled for they all new what it meant for a Phantomhive if they received a letter from the queen herself. Ciel's eyes widened for a bit before he smirked. Fore not only did he receive his sister for their 18th birthday, but also a new queen's watch dog.
"That couldn't be possisably what everyone here thinks it is violet?" Mr. Milford questioned.
"In a way it is. In this letter was the information I needed in order to return home. For 8 years I had believed my family was gone, but the letter informed me this was not so. I have been ordered to become the queen's second watch dog." Violet sated as she sipped her tea.
To her surprise I was Earl grey. Her favorite.
"How is that possible? The queen is permitted only one dog." Mrs. Milford inquired.
"That may be true, but we are twins. We sleep, eat, and act alike. We are the same in body, mind, and soul. We have been since we were children." Violet replied.
Sebastian smirked when his master threw him a threatening glare towards what his sister said. The eye's simply read, 'Try it and you'll regret it.'
The room grew to an awkward silence tell Ciel spoke.
"Why cover it?" he asked.
"Excuse me?" Was violet's reply.
"Your birthmark. Why did you cover it?" Ciel repeated amused.
She blinked once, then twice, before her face grew to be a lovely shade of pink.
"It doesn't suit me anymore." Was her soft reply.
Ciel only smiled as everyone grew curios at the unknown marking. The party continued smoothly. When night feel Sebastian escorted Violet to her old bedroom. The room was decorated in red, black and silver.
"My lady is there anything I can get you?" Sebastian asked.
"No thanks Sebastian, you are dismissed."
Sebastian bowed before leaving. Once he was gone Violet went to change. After dressing in a nightgown, this was black with thin straps and red trim. She went to look for her brother. Knocking upon the door gently she drew her brothers from his unbuttoned shirt.
"Violet, is there something you need?" Ciel asked as he pulled off his shirt.
"Yes, I was wondering if we could do what we did when we were younger." Violet stated shyly.
Ciel stopped in his tracks for his bed and looked back at his sister.
"What do you mean?"
"Can we sleep in the bed like we used too?"
Ciel's cheek's turned bright red as Sebastian simply chuckled at his lord's reaction.
"Vio that would be highly inappropriate." Ciel coughed.
"But we did it when we were little." Violet protested."
"Please for me."Violet asked stepping toward him a bit.
/it was at this moment when Ciel processed what she had on. He eyed how the silky fabric clung to her body, her hair cascaded down her back an over her shoulder. Her eyes gleaming with hope for her brother to fulfill her request, and her lips in a small plea that Ciel couldn't say no too.
"F-fine Violet but just to night" Ciel said hesitating hesitated as he climbed into bed.
Just as he got comfortable his sister climbed in with him and cuddled into his chest."I missed you so much. I thought you were dead all these years." She murmured into his bare chest.
Now it's been 8 years since Ciel had seen Violet an, vise versa. Ceil had grown since then.
Instead of his boyish past, Ciel was 5'9 now. He still had a small frame but he had gained some muscle over the years. His face pretty much stayed the same, except his hair is a little longer. Violet however changed significantly from her brother.
Where when she was 10, she had shoulder length hair, no figure and barely 5'0. That wasn't the case anymore. Now her hair was long and came to her lower back. She was now 5'8 and her body is much fuller. Her breast was almost perfect. The skin that was pressed against him was soft and moonlight pale. She was an angel in the terms of looks.
Ciel wrapped his arms around his sister, embracing her.
"I am not dead, nor will I die anytime soon, my beloved little sister. I missed you far more than words can say" He replied.
She smiled before placing a kiss on his cheek and getting comfortable falling asleep in his arms. Ciel for once since his parents died smiled a true loving smile.
"My lord would you like some tea?" Sebastian offered, making his appearance known to his master.
Ciel nodded silently as he sat up. Sebastian poured the tea before serving it to the young man. He drank in silence before he spoke.
"She grown in the last 8 years, wouldn't you say?" Ciel asked aloud.
"I'm not sure master. I have only ever seen you as a child." Sebastian replied.
"True but she hasn't changed though."
"How so?"
"What she said earlier today was correct. We are similar I body, mind, and soul. You may think I play games, but she is the true master. She is smarter than people realizes an information that she has on you, is an advantage. She is truly my father's daughter and my sister" Ciel said.
Sebastian glanced at the sleeping girl, before he spotted something on her shoulder. Ciel followed his butler's eyes and smiled.
"She may think it doesn't suit her anymore, but in my eyes it always will." Ciel stated.
"Pardon my asking but what is it?" Sebastian asked."
"It's her birthmark. It's a pair of wings. All though she has wings, she can't. She can't escape the cage of our past." Ciel sighed.
"Master it is time for bed." Sebastian said removing his master silk eye patch that covers their contract, and placed it on the night stand beside him. Ciel laid down as Sebastian turned the bed side lamp off and drew the covers around the siblings. When he turned to leave Ciel grabbed his sleeve to his coat.
"Stay in till I fall asleep, that's an order." The boy whispered.
Sebastian turned to the blue and purple eyes looking at him, as he kneeled before his master.
"Yes, my lord."
The room was dark except for the few rays of moon light spilling in and the pair of two demonic pink eyes peering though the shadows.
