What was Missing
Chapter One: Excitement!
A/N: Well here it is the rewrite of an Alice in her Wonderland.
A large sigh leaves my lips. As always it was raining mainly because it was Wednesday and it seemed to always rain on a Wednesday, secondarily it was England; the rainiest country.
"Nola what's up?" Jamie one of my closest friends asks munching on her burger.
"Bored" I mumble returning my gaze to my untouched lunch. "This whole routine, get up on to school, learn stuff, come home have dinner go to bed. I'm bored of it I want a change I want to rock the boat little" I groan pulling my knees up and snuggling my face into them.
"Nah you're just down cause it's raining" Mark replies, definitely my most closet friend, we've been friends since we were 3.
"I wish it was just the rain, but for about a month now I've been feeling like this" I whine throwing my head back, "I want something weird, out of this world to happen like in those fan fics you read Jamie" I reply holding my hand out to my friend gesturing her.
"You mean the ones where a character is sucked into a fictional world" she replies with a baffled look.
"YES!" I stand with a large grin pointing at her, "like that I want something like to happen to me, be throw off into some fictional world, like Naruto or one piece!" I moan flopping back into my seat.
I glare as Mark and Jamie burst out laughing, "Sorry Nola, but look at you if you were thrown into Naruto you would die in a matter of seconds" Mark states wiping a tear away.
"And one piece forget about it" Jamie says putting a jersey accent on, "if you suddenly appeared on a marine ship they would class you as devil fruit user and a pirate and kill you, and if not the marines then a bunch of pirates after they have their way with you" she adds, I pout.
"Thank guys I feel so loved" I mock grabbing a French fry from my lunch and munch it, "so I'm not that strong but I'm start" I smirk point at my self, the two nod.
"Yep you're smart, but brains won't get you any in Naruto, beside being used by Madara then killed and thrown away" Mark says flicking his hand gesturing me by thrown.
"What about those other fan fics, the ones where the characters come to this world that would be cool" I mumble nibbling on a fry.
"Yep that would be cool, especially if it was Senji Kiyomasa from Deadman Wonderland" purrs Mark.
"hmm agreed" me and Jamie say in unison with thick blushed.
"But that would never happen" sighs Jamie placing her hands behind her head, "what?! Why not?!" I protest slamming my fist on the table, making my can of fanta tip. I quickly wipe the orange fizz up.
"Nola. I know you like all that fantasy stuff but really you need to think of logic and reason" Jamie replies holding my shoulder will a concerned look. "Come on finish your fries we have Maths last and I need to milk your brain for answer" she add gulping down her can of red bull.
I look at Mark as I hear scribbling from his end of the table, "here this manga helps me out a lot, it has Shinigamis, demons, cute Lolita boys and a creepy grey hair man" he says holding the paper out for me, I take it and read it. "Kuroshitsuji...heehee shit" I snicker, "there's the Nola I love" Mark says ruffling my hair, I giggle and blow a raspberry on his wrist.
"Okay Kuroshitsuji lets read you" I says kneeling at my computer since my bed was right against it I had to kneel, I liked it. " " I say as I type, I scroll down the page and see the manga is on the most popular "how come I've never read this!" I scream as I had a habit of reading manga of the most popular list.
After the first 15 chapters I stop, "man 11 pm already" I whine, I blush bright red and hold my stomach "I need some food in my belly" I chirp and run down the stairs.
"Mum!" no answer, "Megan!" I get no answer form my sister either. "Anthony!" okay that one was stupid, my step dad was in America as a lawyer for some guy, well mum too she was working late at the hospital. I sigh and walk to the phone, "2 new messages" I mumble and press the button for the voice mail.
"Hey Nola sorry but I'm staying a Hughs tonight...oh sorry baby! I mean David so I'm not gonna be home tonight don't wait up"I whine and rub the back of my head, that explained my sister anyway.
"Nola I'm working late tonight but I'm going to stay with Janet my colleague so I'm not going to be home till tomorrow evening sorry" I guess that meant I was home alone for two days then.
I whimper and quickly pick the phone up press in the number for my dad. "Hello~" the man chirps.
"Hey daddy" I reply with a smile. "Hey baby what's up, Megan bothering you again?" he laughs, I shake my head "no I'm home alone" I reply.
"Oh sweetie I would offer you a bed at my place but I'm in Yorkshire at the moment for a job, sorry honey but I'll talk for as long as you want" he replies, I smile at the sweet offer.
"No daddy it's fine I just wanted to hear papa's voice that's all" I say.
Me and my dad talk for about hour before he had to go, it was nice to here someone's voice, lately I've been feeling alone even in a crowded room or surrounded by friends, I don't what's wrong with me I just feel...
Empty.
"You're silly Nola, you have friends and family what else do you need?" I groan punch my head lightly walking to the fridge, "lets see" I whisper holding my chin, I sigh as mum had forgot to go food shopping again, "why do you do this to me MOTHER!" I cry to sky with rage, but let it go and shut the fridge; I take a pot of left over pasta from last week and pop it into the microwave. I take to a cupboard and take a bowel and a fork from the drawer above it.
"Meow~" I blink and stare down at my leg, "hey Taffy" I greet gently and pick my brown caramel cat up. "Love you~~~" I coo making a kissy face, Taffy gently cuffs his paws againsts my nose, I giggle and cuddle him. "You're lucky Taffy you get Sheba for breakfast and dinner, high class cat food and I'm left with leftovers" I sigh placing the cat down.
As I wait for my left over I stare at the clock, I had a habit to stare at the clock a fly off to the wonderland that was my mind. This time I was at a fancy ball, the host was the Akatsuki and guests were from my favourite mangas. I was dancing with Alucard from Hellsing, wasn't perfect but it was fun, till the load beeping start and I'm pulled back to reality by my late dinner. I sigh loudly tipping the steaming saucy pasta into my bowel, "reality sucks" I say and nod walking up the stairs with Taffy following behind.
Returning to my bed I raise my brow with the fork sticking out my mouth and my cat throwing him self on my lap, "new mail?" I ask look at my emails, my brow twitches and I place my fork back in the bowel "chain mail seriously! I thought that think went out of style years ago!" I rant but burst out laugh falling back on the bed; I pick Taffy up and dangle him slightly above my face "man I sound just like Grandpa!" I say to the cat and shake my head and sit back up placing Taffy back on my lap. "Lets see then" I smirk as these things were I load of shit, "Write on a piece of paper your favourite fictional character, sit in a circle of candles and chant these words three times" I shake my head and quickly click off my emails, I gulp and think it over once more after look over at my anime posters, if I was to summon someone here who would it be? I like Madara from Naruto but I could tell he would try and take over the world, so that was a no...
"Maybe..." I decide to text Mark to see what he thought, I guess I'm lucky to have a friend who insisted on stay up early hours of the morning reading dirty novels. I eat my pasta while I wait for the reply, it is long before my ring tone – chicken nugget in a biscuits starts. "hello" I answer.
"eww gross don't talk with your mouth full for starters, secondarily it's a chain letter just delete it Nola and get over this boredom on a simple life please, tomorrow well today is a new day it might be exciting, so please Nola just accept reality already! Goodnight" and with that Mark hangs up.
"Mean" I pout and finish my pasta. "Maybe Mark has a point" I mumble scratching behind the cat's ear and getting the chain letter back up, I get ready to delete it "man I wish something exciting would happen" I whimper pressing delete.
"WAHHH!" I scream as my power cuts out, "OH COME ON!" I yell standing on my bed, but fall as standing on a bed is quite hard without wobbling. "Owwie" I moan rubbing my head, Taffy comes to my aid gently licking my forehead where the bump was, I thank the puss and stand "I guess I'll call mum..." I say to myself but flop back to the floor "idiot mum's in surgery she can't answer the phone and Megan is probably fucking the brains out of some poor guy, oh man what am I going to do" I begin to cry making my way back on my bed, as I curl up Taffy crawls over to me and snuggles up by my chest.
Before I know it I have cried my self to sleep.
I groan rubbing my eyes, morning had come too quickly I was dreaming I was riding an ostrich name Tutu and he could fly. "Ah Tutu I miss you" I whimper sitting up holding Taffy like a baby, he didn't mind. "What the heck?" I question scratching my head, as my computer was on where it had left off; the chain letter.
"Geez these things freak the shit out of me" |I say staring at Taffy we both nod and go to delete the chain mail again, but I stop remembering last night. "I don't want another power cut so I'll just keep it" I suggest but write down the requirements for summoning a fictional character, if it didn't work which I was certain of I didn't mind it was a boredom killer, plus if it did work I should be careful who I would summon; it's as they say be careful what you wish for.
Location for this I could do it in my room, but there was no room. So living room just had to hope Megan would be at lover boys and Mum stayed at Janet's, next was the candles I could use the ones left over from mum's and Antony's wedding in the basement. I smile as it was set! I would do it tonight after school, which I really should be getting ready for!
After rushing to get ready and eat bread on the way to school, I meet Mark and Jamie at the gate. "Morning" I chirp with a cheerful smiling.
"Hey you seem better, not so I'm bored with reality" Jamie mocks falling into Mark's arms like a defenseless maiden.
"Hahaha so funny Jamie you should be a comedian" I mock back taking the lead and walking into school.
"Sorry but you were such a downer yesterday" she replies crossing her arms.
"So what cheered you up?" Mark asks gently tilting my head up to look at him.
"Nothing much" I reply teasing them to ask for more. "Nola please tell It's not what I'm thinking?" pleads Mark rounding his eyes.
"If you mean destroy all chickens in the world because they are evil, no I thought of that last Tuesday" I reply taking my seat by the window.
"Not that!" yells Mark furiously, "Nola it was a chain letter let it go!" I jump as he slams his fist on the table.
"I know it's just a chain letter so it won't work Mark, but it's just something to kill time with I'm bored what do you except at least I'm not trying to raise the dead again" I reply taking my book and pen out.
"Yes but what if it does work huh? What happens then?!" he replies with a glare, I frown I had never seen Mark like unless we were talking about his mum.
"Then I'll be careful of what character I chose, don't worry no one from Naruto so you don't have to worry about Madara and the Akatsuki taking over the world" I smile at him, he sighs heavily.
"Fine just make sure it's someone safe..." he says, I snicker at him "what?" he asks glaring at me again.
"It's just for someone who knows it won't work you seem to object to it a lot, I thought you would at least say do it and see it won't work, something like that" I laugh, he laughs too and ruffles my hair playfully.
"Hey so why is Mark so worked up?" Jamie asks, me and Mark look at each other and laugh heavily as we had ranted and completely ignored her. "What's so funny?!" she screams, and then drops her head in defeat.
"Nothing..." I huff before continuing. "I got a chain letter last night saying I could easily summon any fictional character I wanted with first a circle of candles and two words I have to repeat three times along with the persons name" I explain.
"Eh that's pretty cool, I might try that out, well you know if it works for you that is" Jamie says.
"Jamie don't encourage her!" scolds Mark, I giggle.
Home time, finally it had arrived I wanted to try this thing out. I smirk eagerly and begin to leave, "NOLA!" I stop at my sister's call.
"Megan what's up you and lover boy have a good time?" I ask.
"No the guy fell a sleep after round two and I go four rounds" she replies I gag at the thought of Megan still riding the guy even though he was asleep. "So I'm going to Keith's tonight, he brought fluffy handcuffs" my face turns blue with disgust. "Oh come on Nola don't be like that, I know that when you get a boyfriend you'll be just like your big sister" Megan says with a proud smile.
"No thank you!" I yell and leave the school grounds, "Don't wait up!" Megan yells down the street to me. I blush a bright Red walking to Asda, I had decided to buy my own candles as I remember mum saying her wedding candles were for happy time, why was my whole family horny?!
After buying the candles I head home, there was one message on the phone. After listening to my mum apologizes again and saying she was staying with Janet again as she was working late again, I go up to my room and send the message off to one person [I sent it to Jamie as she said she wanted to try] as required then I set up in the living room. Each candle was lit and in the middle of the circle was a large white candle; altogether there were seven candles six forming the circle and one in the middle. After much persistence I let Mark choose my character to summon, he had chosen someone who would bring the excitement I wanted, someone to care for me but also someone who would protect me, he hadn't told me who it was said it would be a surprise when I open the piece of paper.
"Here we go" I sigh and approach the circle. I tremble I was scared but excited, if it did work I could summon anyone I wanted but I guess there was probably a limit to it before I'd crush space and time. I slap both cheeks prepping my self up; "now is the time" I nod with a serious face, grabbing the piece of paper from my pocket. "Who is it?!" I cheer eagerly "oohh please be someone good..." I cheer once more open the paper, as I stare upon the name I'm filled with disappointment.
"SEBASTIAN THAT FUCKING BUTLER!" I scream with rage, as the butler from Kuroshitsuji kind of annoyed me, "If Mark was going to choose a butler why not Grell or Tanaka?!" I rant further holding my head. "NO Nola you mustn't be ungrateful, Mark has chosen someone that is best suited to you, someone that he believes with protect you" I says to myself with a vein bumping on my forehead, my attempt to calm myself fails.
I sigh and calmed down, "okay lets just do it" I nod slapping my cheeks again.
I close my eyes and open the piece of paper in front of me, "Sebastian Michaelis Te accerso*, Sebastian Michaelis Te accerso, Sebastian Michaelis Te accerso" on the last call I hold the paper with the butler's name other the candle's flame.
I huff heavily after the paper has completely burnt away, nothing had happened "that was a waste of-" o f cut off but a large burst of window through the room. I yelp as the candles all bowl out and the curtains are shut from the wind. "Ah what the hell?!" I yell loudly falling back using my arms as shield for my face.
I slowly lower my arms as the wind stops and the candles relight. My eyes widen at the man hovering above me, black hair, pale skin and bloody eyes. I gulp and reach out and trace my fingers down his cheek, he grips my wrist tightly glaring at me.
"Excuse me Miss but who are you? And why did you summon me?" he asks will anger in his voice.
"Um...I...I'm Nol-" I jump hearing a crash from my kitchen.
"Arg Sebas-chan where are we?" I stare at the red head in my door way holding his head.
"Hang...hang on I only summoned him what are you doing here?!" I ask pointing at Grell.
"I don't know really last thing I remember I was holding tightly to Sebas-chan's arm...wait why did you summon him in the first place you shouldn't be able to do that, not while he's still under the contract with that brat!" yells Grell loudly.
"I wasn't suppose to work!" I reply snatching my arm back from Sebastian. "It was supposed to be a hoax likes all the other chain letters, I was just bored so I tried it out, I never expected it to actually work" I say amazed patting the butler's shoulder to see if he was real.
"What do mean chain letter? You should know to never read them in the first place" Sebastian scolds I pout.
"Curiosity got the better of me" I reply with my head held high.
"Yes it seems so, now there is the matter of your name and where we are?" the butler asks again.
"Oh yes, I'm Nola Collin and you're still in England but not the 1800s, the year is 2013 and well in this world you are fictional characters made by Yana Toboso" I explain and flinch away expecting a hit or something.
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Grell screams holding his head.
"I have proof if you don't believe me" I say standing, "when you say Proof?" Sebastian asks standing too. "Oh yes you're part of a manga called Kuroshitsuji which translate as Black butler, you do know what a manga is right?" I ask lowering my head slightly kind of fearing for my life right now.
"Yes I believe a British cartoonist in 1862 made a manga named Japan punch it wasn't very popular to say the least" replies Sebastian, I nod and lead the pair up stairs to my room, and I crawl on the bed cause Taffy to awake, "scotch" I say gently nudging him to move aside, I look in the corner of my eye and see Sebastian head for Taffy I smile and switch on the computer.
"What the heck is this?" Grell asks lightly tapping my computer screen.
"Hey no touchy" I flick his hand away. "It's a computer it's kind of hard to explain but you can use it to write like at type writer but it will check your spelling" I explain demonstrating on word, "and you can use it to find out stuff through the internet which is even harder to explain, but lets just says it's a bunch of books on a screen well I guess you could say that" I hold my chin thinking it over. "Anyway Kuro" I say getting the manga up, "see it goes s all the way up to the school arc, wait a minute where did you just come from?" I ask the pair standing shocked.
"From that strange cult with the doomsday book" replies Grell, I groan and take my phone quickly calling Mark.
"Sup?" Mark asks with all time Low Maria playing in the background.
"Um in what part does the cult with the dooms day book happen in Kuro?" I ask
"Hmm, oh you watching the Anime now cause that don't happen in the manga" he replies "okay thank you, love you, BYE!" I yell and quickly hang up.
I sigh and turn back to the two standing by me. "Okay this here hasn't happened yet has it?" I asks getting chapter 60 up, the fight between Sebastian, Grell and Ron vs the Undertaker.
"No I don't believe so" replies the butler stroking the heck of Taffy he looked like he was in heaven. I groan and drop my head "so I've spoiled possible events" I sigh exiting the page and wobbly walk on the bed to the door.
"Okay now that's all sorted time for- EPP!" I yelp as I picked up by the collar and forced to stop walking.
"Hang on Missy; if we are forced to stay here with you, we need to know what kind of world this is first!" Demands Grell dropping me on the bed, Sebastian and Grell stand over me with hard glares, I flinch as the red head bears his shark like fangs; I take Taffy in my hold as the cat jumps into my jump.
"Okay, Okay calm down I'll tell you everything..." I sigh and begin to explain the world through history, well from what I currently know. I show the two the tv down stairs explaining news channel how they inform us of the problems of today, In form the two Grell mainly of the laws of today and people's sexual habits as I could see that may be problem, also explaining that being Gay was no longer a criminal act, and that homosexual couples could marry but not in churches; Grell was mainly the one that was happy about that. I showed them music channels, sports channels, drama channels and kids channels how we entertain our selves these days. I show them the history channel explaining if there's anything they're unclear about history wise, this channel will have it. I also show them all the technology in the house explain each one the best I could.
"Your time is very lazy" comments Sebastian; I nod in agreement though I did feel a little insulted.
"Oh Bassy lets get married!" Grell cheers with red cheeks; I snort slightly turning away slightly.
"No thank you" the demon replies with a non-amused look. He sighs and turns back to me, "Nola I'm curious why did you summon me, do you wish to form a contract?" he ask pulling his left glove off revealing his contract with Ciel.
I hold my chin thinking over his proposal, "nah thanks, the whole reason I summoned you here was for some fun, a change in routine you know. So if I form a contract with you the moment you show me some fun you'll have to take my soul, then I wouldn't be having any fun and you would have broken the contract" I explain poking my bottom.
"She has a point" Grell replies, Sebastian sighs and pulls his glove back on "so that was the reason I was summoned from my world" he groan crossing his arms.
"Hey I know till I can find a way to get you two back home, how about you entertain me and you know just have fun how's that sound?" I suggest with a smile sitting on the couch crossing my legs.
"Hmm I suppose what do you like to do for fun?" Sebastian asks.
"Video games, reading, watching tv and drawing" I reply counting the 'fun' activities I do.
"You don't go out much do you?" ask Grell with a frown, I lightly shake my head. "What's the point my friends are always going to parties, fancy clothes shops, I prefer game stores, book stores and zoos" I reply hugging my knees.
"Fancy clothes ohh" Grell cheers with a blush. "No they sell nothing but dresses and dresses are icky!" I state pointing at the death god.
"I'm a tomboy to the heart" I nod with a proud look. "Well I think we can change that don't you think Mr Grell?" Sebastian says with a smirk to Grell, who smirks back and nods.
"An assignment for Sebas-chan I can't refuse" the red haired flicks his back over his shoulder, "to make you more girly!" Grell yells pointing at me, I jaw drop and shake my head quickly.
"Come on what's wrong with the way I dress?!" I protest standing, lightly tugging my collar of my t-shirt.
Grell and Sebastian look me up and down, "everything" the demon sighs, "for starters your clothes are too big for your size, they hide your figure too much" he states tugging at the sides of my shirt, "secondarily what on earth are you wearing, are they men clothes?" he asks placing his fingers on his forehead.
"Yes they are, they're my brother's he left before he moved out, I like them they're comfortable. And they are sweatpants and a baggy size 16 t-shirt" I reply with a warm smile hugging myself.
"So you have a brother..." Grell coos "he married and has four kids dream on reaper" I snap walking towards the kitchen Sebastian follows behind, but I stop half way at the stairs.
"Yes that's right I forgot you two get undressed" I demand.
"WAH!" the reaper yells, but the butler smirks and happily does so. "What no not here! Up stairs you guys can't wear that kind of clothing in this world, not so much you Grell you're fabulous but Sebastian you can't dress as a butler" I explain charging up stairs to the spare room. I rummage through a box marked Stanley's clothes, I take a pair of black tight-ish jeans, white button shirt and a black man cardigan. "Here you go Sebastian the bathroom is right there, you can shower too if you want" I say point to the bathroom down the hall, "there's some shoes Stanley left so you can chose from them too" I suggest, Sebastian smiles and bows before leaving, I then sort out Grell.
"Hmm Grell would you prefer to where my sister's clothes, cause I think she'll fit your fashion better than my brother" I suggest walking into the hall, "hmm does she have anything red?" Grell asks leaning on the banister.
"Are you kidding she loves the colour, because it's sexy she says" I snot entering the mess of the room, I go to Megan's closest built into the wall. "hmmm..." I hold my chin quickly looking through the clothes, "THERE!" I yell snatch the red skinny jeans with silver studs round the lining of the pockets, "Here these okay?" I ask, Grell's eyes light up, I giggle and hand them to him, I continue to search through my sister's closest.
"This.." Grell says taking the red leather jacket with a hood and white (FAKE!) fur round the edge, I smile and nod and walk back to Stanley's room. I pull a black long v neck shirt from a box, I snort at the item as I remember the day my brother first wore this shirt, to try and impress his now wife on their first date he looked like an idiot but it worked, they've been together for 10 years now and are happy I'm glad.
"I'll get you some boots" I say and quickly run off to my mum's room, I nab her red leather doctor Martins, she never wore them anyway she just left them in the box, they were a gift from my aunt Vi the pair hate each other so my aunt brought her the doctor Martins knowing my mum would hate them, a waste of money if you ask me. "Here" I hand Grell the boots his eyes light up.
"They're...They're beautiful" he coos with a huge blush and nuzzles the boots, "I'm gonna go change~" he coos running off to the bathroom where Sebastian was.
"Is there anything you want for dinner, or do Reaper not need to eat?" I ask panicking.
"We eat like you regular humans, make me anything as long it's tasty okay girl" Grell orders, I smile sweetly and nod running down the stairs, "Taffy!" I call; the cat quickly runs from my bedroom to my side.
I head to the kitchen and firstly feed Taffy, opening a new can of Sheba for him, I sigh as he always has the high class stuff; well that's all he ate. Next order of business was making something tasty , so I look through my own handmade recipe book, of all the recipes I had done. "Hmmm I wonder if he likes chilly?" I ask myself walking to the fridge, but as I open it I drop my head. "Idiot Nola there's no food" I curse myself closing the fridge, I head for the front door slipping on my Nike trainers and grabbing my purse with the money mum had given me for food shopping last week.
"Where are you going?" I raise my brow and turn round seeing Sebastian with Grell attached to his arm. "I need to go food shopping, I forgot I had run out of food tee hee" I say rubbing the back of my head and sticking my tongue out.
"You guys can come if you like, get to know the 21st century and also an extra pair of hands to carry shopping is also good" I admit grabbing my keys and opening the front door.
"Hmm it does seem we may be here for a while, so learning behaviour and the proper way to act would be useful" says Sebastian holding his chin, "what about you Grell?" he asks the reaper, who wanders off into the living room dropping on to the sofa.
"No for me thank you I'm going to watch this box thing" Grell says confused examining the tv remote, I giggle as it was kind of cute.
I quickly tend to his aid and show him the controls, he learns quickly and puts on channel four come dine with me I watch as he mouth starts to water from the food, I smile slightly as I never imagined the red loving reaper to be so much of a food-lover.
What was missing: A fridge full of food.
