Ch. 1 Her Governess, Intelligent

A/N: I own only Alice, Calista, and the plot...that is all. Enjoy. Also special thanks to Moonlightnightmare who RP-ed with me for what seems like years (it was only a week then I was on my own to write the rest) to help me start this, but on the bright side we finished one and a half episodes. She is Cali and the first chapter of this episode is entirely in her POV. Thanks Liz.

Cali POV:

"Alice, how much longer until we're there? I'm tired and it's getting dark, not to mention the highway men that attack helpless women" I said to my governess, demon, and friend, Alice.

"You know I could kill them with a simple phrase right?" She said in her cat form. How odd to see a small black cat riding an ash white horse.

"It's the principle"

"Right" She said flicking her tail. "I think I see a manor over there...and I sense another demon"

She put her front paws on the neck of her horse and shouted "Faster, Milan"

The horse always obeyed her for some reason and mine too, without prompting.

Once we were at the manor, Alice jumped off her horse and transfigured. She landed wearing a blood red, form-fitting dress that just barely touched the ground with a few sparkles here and there and an off-the-shoulder neckline and her signature golden heart picture locket.

"Come Cali" She said, motioning for me to follow. I didn't want to, but I was tired and Alice looked just as worn as I felt, so I just got off and followed. We walked up the steps and Alice used the large brass knocker. "Best behavior" She warned.

"Yes, Alice" I said. Right after I did the door opened and Alice's breath caught in her throat.

"Can I help you?" I could see why her breath caught. The man was gorgeous, with dark hair that framed his face and chocolate brown eyes. I could have sworn I'd seen him before somewhere.

"Sebastian?" I heard Alice say. He looked from me to Alice and recognition covered his facial expression.

"Alice?!"

"It is you!" She said with tears in her eyes as she walked up and hugged him. "I've missed you so much"

He went from having shocked facial expressions to almost crying and whispering something in Alice's ear. She stepped away and smiled at him. I'd seen Alice evilly smirk, put on a fake smile, or toss me a genuine motherly smile, but this was a genuine happy smile that made her seem to glow, sparkle, and all over make her more graceful and beautiful than she already was. Then I realized were I'd seen him before. One day I was snooping through Alice's stuff and had seen a color photograph of this man and Alice embracing-and possibly dancing- but it looked weird because Alice had a bulging belly, but even in that state she glowed with beauty and happiness as they looked into each others eyes. When I showed Alice she took the photo and cried for the rest of the day.

"Cali this is Sebastian. Sebastian, this is Lady Calista Deveroux, Heiress of the Royal family. She's my contractor" she said gesturing from me to him, then him to me.

"Please come in" He said stepping back and gesturing for us to come in.

"Sebastian, who was at the d-" A boy about my age said as he walked down a grand staircase. He had dark blue hair, a crystal blue eye, and an eye patch.

"Master, this is Lady Calista Deveroux, Heiress of the Royal family and her demon and governess Alice" The man named Sebastian said.

"The Royal family?!" The boy gasped.

"Great aunt Vicky must be quite popular in this house" I giggled to Alice.

"Cali. This is Ciel Phantomhive, the Queen's guard dog" Alice said.

"Phantomhive? As in the owner of Funtom toy company?"

"One in the same. Lord Phantomhive, would you have a telephone that we could use to call for some men to follow us to the Deveroux family summer manor so we're not going to be attacked by highway men?" Alice asked.

"Certainly not" He said shaking his head. "I cannot allow the queens great niece to be riding at this time of night. Sebastian prepare a room for Lady Deveroux and her governess"

"Alice can sleep in my room if she so wishes" Sebastian said.

"What? I cannot allow it. It's completely inappropriate, Sebastian!" Ciel said.

"Alice and I are mates. The demon equivalent of husband and wife" Sebastian stated taking Alice's hand.

"Fine. Just ready the room and bring tea to the parlor. That's where we'll be" Ciel commanded

"Alice, why don't you help Sebastian?" I suggested.

"Someone must stay and watch you two" Alice said.

"Mey-Rin" Sebastian began to a red-haired woman I hadn't noticed til now. "Watch the young master and Lady Deveroux while Alice and I ready Lady Deveroux's room"

"Yes, sir" She said and followed Ciel and I to where I assumed was the parlor.
