Summary: Jadalyn Brisbane woke up with no recollection of the past month. Now she's facing something even weirder. Her missing father. Now she's got to embark on one "hell" of a journey to get him back. There are thousands of questions rumbling through her mind but the biggest one she'll encounter will be can she honestly find her father and survive...withOUT killing a certain dark haired pail skinned butler in the process? Rated M for possible future scenes.
My dearies, here is the first chapter to the sequel to "Perfect Dream? Or Perfect Nightmare?" titled "To Be or Not To Be"
If you haven't had a chance to read PDOPN I advise you do. Its hard to try and recap everything because there's so much in it that ties with this :D For those of you who have read PDOPN the last thing that happened was Jadalyn waking up at home to her mom and she finds her eventually talking to a man downstairs with her mom who says Jadalyn must come with him on the issue of her missing father. The man is creepy enough to Jadalyn who notes that he has reddish-brown eyes, just the same as their cat, Midnight.
To top it all off, Jadalyn can't remember the past month of her life. Her need to remember and to save her father are enough to push her to join the man so she ran off to pack and this is where we're picking it back up. ;)
To Clear Up some things Jadalyn's time frame at home is 2011.
And yes, I there is a reason for it to be under Kuroshitsuji.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji(black butler)
First I wake up with no memory of the past month, then I learn my father's missing, and to top it all off, my mom's shipping me off with some stranger to look for him. Ah-frickin-mazing right? No not really. I had two minutes to bound up the stairs, fling myself into the safety of my room and begin to back.
When I did, I didn't expect Jude to be sitting on my bed.
"Jay jay…you're back home…"
I didn't bother to really listen to him, he always said something weird and I snatched up my backpack in a hurry and began throwing all sorts of items in it.
"Jay jay.." I heard him whine.
"What Jude?" I snapped.
I looked over my shoulder and sighed at the pitiful look he gave me. "You're leaving again aren't you?"
"Again?"
"You were gone for so long…" he sniffled as if the memory of my absence brought with it some form of heartache. "I had no one to play with. You can't leave again! Tell mommy to go find the men who took daddy."
I froze for a moment and not because of the clearly audible noise of crisp footsteps outside of my door but because of the absolutely brilliant idea that hit me. I had no memory of last month at all. If my mother wouldn't tell me then…well, I bet my soul that Jude, my adorable little brother would. Once I deemed my bag too full I zipped it up after stuffing my blue necklace and its black little stand in a side pouch and motioned for Jude to turn around which he did but not without a sour look.
"Now Jude, tell me about what happened when I was "gone"" I said as I began to strip out of my pajamas in a hurry to pull on a pair of my favorite white jeans and my favorite black collard shirt.
"Well, a man came looking for you and daddy and they took daddy away." His voice wavered and I stalled. "He took you away. Me and Mommy hurt so bad. So bad." He began to full out cry. "The scary man was searching for something. Daddy tried to say you weren't here but the man hit daddy." I slipped into my black and white converse and threw my hair up in a ponytail before walking over to him and wrapping my arms around him. "Jude…"
"Mommy tried to protect us. The big mean man with ugly red eyes said that if he didn't get you more mean people would come."
I felt horrible. My family was attacked and I couldn't remember a tiny detail. "Jude, do you know who the big man was?" I said hugging him close. "Do you know what he looked like?" Jude was crying so hard that his whole body was shaking and he shook his head. "I just know…that he had a ring. Like that one" He pointed to my hand and I glanced at the blue ring. What the hell? I heard the door to my room swing open and the man from the kitchen.
"No!" Jude yelled, wrapping his arms tight around me, his sudden burst of anger shocking me. "You can't take Jay Jay away from us!"
The man stood in the door way, a small smile on his face. "I simply can not return without her." I glared at the man who simply smiled, as if my annoyance with him was amusing. I picked Jude up in my arms.
"Jay Jay went off to fight those people and she came home! I love her, you can't have her" he wailed so loud that eventually my mother showed up at the door. She cross the room in a few strides and took Jude away from me.
"You hush now. I told you that you couldn't say anything Jude" she scolded him. He couldn't say anything? So she knows! Jude began to kick and cry, reaching for me and I furrowed my brow in confusion. Why was he so upset?
"Miss Jadalyn"
I looked up to the man who had given me a slight bow. "We must be leaving now." I didn't move though. I was just to focused on Jude and what he had told me.
"Sweetheart I wish I could explain but…I just can't" my mother said holding a now feverishly squirming Jude. "Its confusing but…you're the only one who can go get him."
Thump
Jude had managed to wither out of my mom's grasp and hit the ground in a run. He collided with my legs in tears. "Throw the ring out the window! Flush it down the toilet! Feed it to my stuffed doggie but don't go! It's the ring he said! It is bad!" God…he was becoming so upset. I looked at my mother then to the man who was scowling at the display, glanced at my ring then at Jude.
"Jude," I kneeled down to wipe away his tears. "I have to go with the man. He says that it's to find daddy and I think that's important" His big chocolate eyes began to water up but I put a finger on his trembling lips. "Listen Jude. I need you to be a big boy and do me a favor." He nodded. "I need you to take care of mommy ok? You keep mommy busy and happy while I'm gone and I'll return soon ok?" I didn't want to make the promise. Hell I didn't even know where I was going or what I was getting into. All I really wanted was to remember the past month. I hugged my mom who also had started crying.
Great.
More tears.
"Ma stop. You're making yourself look horrible." I said but it was a lie, her bright green eyes, much like mine, were sparkling and her black hair was ruffled. "Take care of Jude ok?" I heaved my overly stuffed bag onto my shoulder. "Now Jude, no candy before bed, brush your teeth in the morning and no chocolate for breakfast ok? I'll be back before you know it." I offered. I wondered if that was a lie.
"Now where's that little spawn of the devil furball?" I said looking for the cat. It might've hated me but at least I'd tell it good bye too. "We don't have time" said the man in black who had stepped back and held his arm out, gesturing to the door. His face was expressionless and his body language was too. I kissed Jude on the forehead and kissed my mom on the cheek.
I knew I should be in a state of hysteria but my curiosity was getting the better of me.
"Bring her back in one piece safe and sound or I'll have your head!" I heard my mother as I began walking out the door.
"I can't promise that." The man in black said. I heard the door click and I swung around.
"What do you mean by-"
But his gloved finger was pressed against his pale parted lips and suddenly I was caught up in a flurry of black silky feathers. It was like a damn wind tunnel full of them and then there were so many that I eventually couldn't see a thing and I felt my feet be knocked out from under me.
Then I was falling.
Or at least I thought I was.
Me: hahahaha! :) Oh My. What a scary scary dark and handsome tall guy. :D
Grell: Ohhh I argreeee *fangirls for a few minutes*
Me: *sweat drops* Grell you know Bassy kinda doesn't want you. He's one hell of a butler, not one hell of a lover.
Grell: *winks* I bet I can change that
Me: *gag* Allrighty then everyone. this was kinda slow and boring but I promise it'll pick up! ;) It'll be FOREVER before we actually finish this too. :D Relax for the journey.
Quote for the day:
If it's your wish, I will follow you everywhere
even if your throne crumbles, and your shiny crown truns to rust
even if the bodies pile up endlessly, above the bottomless pile corpses
Beside you as you lie softly down, I will be there
until i hear the words "checkmate".
