Don't judge too quickly, this is a crossover. Also, I have a lot of trouble with Sebastian's personality. Just warning you.
Since becoming one himself, Ciel Phantomhive had noticed that there were a lot more demons in the world than he thought. Just not in England. He thought to himself. As he looked out the window of the car, he counted all the inhuman things he saw doting the countryside. "Where are we going?" he asked the girl who sat across from him.
Alice, who had dragged Ciel on what she called an adventure, stared back at him. He was suddenly hit by how similar she looked to Lizzie. Her hair was the same annoying shade of blond and she was always smiling. He knew he'd never forget that Alice was actually Lizzie's great-grand-daughter.
She flashed him one of her wide smiles. "To a place full of tragedy and sorrow. A haven of tortured souls ripe for the picking." She turned her smile toward the third member of their traveling party. "I assume, Sebastian, that you've told him how to go about forming contracts?"
The older demon returned the smile. "Yes, I have."
Alice nodded, happy with the answer. "A city like this is quite rare, actually. Most places in the States come to terms with their crime rates and push them down using just their police force. But this place needs its own hero to knock them into the controllable section."
Ciel groaned and returned to looking out the window as Alice rambled on about recent crimes in different cities.
In the 100+ years since he'd become a demon, he'd managed to avoid those who were connected to his family. It'd been easy at first, given that Lizzy and her mother had been the only family he'd had left. He'd left England before the family had grown beyond Lizzie's first child. Up until two years ago, he hadn't heard anything more about them.
Alice had apparently been looking for mysteries in her family when she'd learned that Ciel hadn't died, but simply vanished. She'd traveled most of the world looking for clues to what had happened.
"Do you think there are actual demons in there?" She asked now, looking hopefully at Sebastian, who just kept smiling.
"There could be." His voice sounded strained.
"Well, I know there will be when we get there." She laughed. "I mean, you guys are demons, so if you're in the city, of course there will be demons. But, will there be more than two? That's the important question."
"Alice, please stop talking." Ciel raised a hand to his forehead. "It's getting rather annoying."
She gave him a playful pout. "That's no way to talk to your big sister."
"Since when are you my sister?!" He yelled. "And I'm older than you!"
"We can't let people know you're a demon, now can we." She smiled and tapped her ring, which looked nearly identical to Ciel's. "So, while we're in the city, you and I are siblings and Sebastian is our guardian."
"My, you seem to have this all thought out." Sebastian mused.
"I've been thinking of it for the past two years." Alice glanced out the window and smiled. "Now it's time. We're here!"
The house was definitely smaller than the Phantomhive Manor, but was larger than common houses. Ciel scowled at the lack of character. His home in England had suited him much better.
"Isn't it lovely?"
Ciel turned and thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He saw Lizzie standing in front of the car, smiling at him. He blinked and it was Alice smiling. He realized that, living in this house with her, he would easily forget that over a hundred years had passed. It would be just as annoying.
"I shall prepare some tea, my lord." Sebastian bowed before picking up the luggage and walking into their new home.
"Ciel!" Alice cried seconds before wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Lizzie!" he shouted out of habit. A habit that hadn't come up in over a century.
"No, silly." She laughed. She probably knew he would react like that. "I'm Alice, your relative."
That was the same thing she'd said two years ago. I'm Alice, your relative. I can't believe you're still alive! I mean, how long has it been? And you still look like a kid! My grandfather told me everything his mom told him, so it's like I already know you! Hey, why are you backing away from me? You are Ciel, right?
He shuddered at the memory. "Let go of me." He commanded.
She surprised him by releasing her grip on his neck. "Ciel, I really do want to know you." She sounded sad. "I mean, the other half of my family isn't interesting at all. Sure, my great-grandfather's cousin was kidnapped right after he was born, but he did come home eventually. But you are way cooler than that."
Ciel took a few steps toward the house before what she'd said hit him. "Kidnapped?" He turned slowly so that he could see her. "Who was he?"
"Oh, that completely slipped my mind! You might have known him, since he was also nobility." She tapped her knuckles on her forehead. "His name was Alois."
He forced himself to swallow. "What's your full name?" He barely got the words out, his throat was so tight. "Is it longer than what you've told me?"
She nodded. "It's really long, so I just say it's Alice Phantomhive. But my full name, the one that's on my birth certificate, is Holland Oliver Alice Trancy Phantomhive."
I know it's lame, but I'm hoping it get's better. not making any promises, though. Comments are greatly appreciated.
