Hey guys, I know it's been a while but here's a new story. Please don't read this if you haven't read 'The Phantomhive's New Maid' or 'That's What Makes A Trancy Maid'. This won't any sense. Anyway...this was one of my favourite OVAs. So please enjoy, with commentary from the one and only...

Sebastian Michaelis

I opened my eyes, gasping for air and clutching my chest tight. My heart felt like it had stopped a moment ago, worrying me into thinking it had ended. My life had ended. Glimpses of a world I was certain I had dreamed stained my eyelids; a woman's hand protruding through my stomach, a boy crying as I wiped away his tears, a man telling me my soul was beautiful. I shook my head carefully, knowing it had all been a dream.

I put my hands on the floor a moment later, feeling the hard wood underneath that braced me. My hair, as I felt it tickle my neck, circled me like a halo. I raised one hand to wipe my eyes, wondering what had caused such a dream. I yawned before arching to stretch. I sat up slowly, yawned again before I viewed where I had fallen asleep.

I was in an office, bookcases lined the walls with a small set of chairs in the corner with a small table. I stood slowly, and walked over. A tea cup was set out carefully and the liquid it had once contained was long gone. I shrugged, feeling thirsty all of a sudden. I decided to occupy myself with a brief look around the room, certain there had to be water somewhere. I moved to the heavy wooden desk and saw the big armchair with a green back. I touched it gently and returned my gaze to the surface.

Books and papers lay haphazardly in small piles, no sense of order existed. I reached out to touch the cover of one of the books, revealing its name to be Primrose Garden. Not something I would read, nothing I had heard of either. Though, while thinking that, I was certain I had heard its tale in a previous time.

"I might have read it in the dream," I whispered, before a spider scuttled across the surface of the desk.

I watched it with mild interest before picking up Primrose Garden and dropping it with a loud thump over the spider, crushing it so it became an addition to the desk. I was certain that the spider had meant something to me, certain I had seen it before but now it was too late to bother myself with such trivial matters; it was dead, I was not.

"I should find Ciel," I whispered as I wrapped my arms around my lilac dress to keep me warm.

But no sooner had I said that aloud, that the name faded from my memory. Who was I supposed to find? It was then the door to the office opened and a man walked in, holding a small bundle of kindling. I watched as he stacked them in the fireplace and lit the fire, warming me immediately. I closed my eyes as I felt myself release my arms and enjoy the warm glow. I looked back to the man, seeing black hair and a black outfit. I walked closer and he turned his head to view me. His eyes were a soft reddish brown and his skin looked greyish, even in the fire's light.

"Sebastian?" I asked as the man stood.

For some reason, that name seemed to mean something to me. I felt the fire's warmth grow as this man viewed me carefully before taking out his pocket-watch. He frowned down at the clock face and I tried to see what bothered him so.

"I'm late," he muttered and turned away from me, "precisely twenty three seconds late."

He walked closer to the door and a small fluffy bunny tail blossomed at the base of his spine which made me rub my eyes a little, certain I hadn't seen this. When I looked back at him, he had grown bunny ears. He opened the office door and stepped out into the hall, closing it behind him with a slight click. I stayed where I was for a moment before following, uncertain as to what had just happened.

I touched my spine and my head, seeking the bunny accessories that Sebastian had grown on a whim, but I possessed none. It seemed to make me feel better…for no apparent reason. I put my hand on the door handle, and pushed down carefully until it opened. I looked out on the hall and spotted Sebastian walking further away from me.

"I must follow him, he'll lead me to Ciel," I whispered, and as before, the moment I said that name, it faded from my memory.

I closed the office door behind me, and walked after Sebastian. He seemed anxious and unnerved, which unsettled me. Wasn't he supposed to be of infinite patience?

"I'm so very late," he muttered before speeding off.

"Please wait, Sebastian," I begged as I ran after him.

The further I went down the hall, the more I began to notice. Signs decorated the floors, the ceiling, the walls and stood at odd angles that made me alter my path so as not to fall over.

"Straight ahead," was among the signs as was, "stop!"

It forced me to rub my eyes, unsure now if I was dreaming this as I had dreamed of the man and the boy. A butler clad in black and a boy who wore blue…and my heart ached when I remembered their faces. Sebastian would tell me who they were, he just had to. I came to a stop however, when I lost sight of Sebastian.

"Sebastian?" I asked as the chill entered my bones and made me shiver.

"I'm late," his voice echoed, "precisely one minute and six seconds."

I followed that voice and found myself facing a black space. I could feel a breeze on my face coming from in front of me but there was no way for me to see what was making that breeze. I looked behind me and spotted a sign that welcomed me, and I clutched it tight so I could lean closer to find out the source of the chill before I returned to the office and its fire.

That is not how it went of course. Instead, the sign came loose and I fell forward, landing painfully on my knees. A shaft of air wrapped around me, blowing up my blonde hair before it shook. I placed my hands on the floor and then…then I was free-falling into a pit.

Alice attempts to act very smart, while she is often quite dim-witted. Oh, did I say that aloud? Pardon me…

What I meant to say was, poor Alice, her curiosity got the better of her, now whatever shall she do?
