"Hey bitch, watch where you're going next time!" yelled an angered man as Thalia plowed past him.

"Will do...young master," she mumbled, too immersed in her book to care about the man.

She barely blinked while reading and only took a hand off the book to occasionally push her glasses up the bridge of her nose, or push her brown hair out of her line of vision. She occasionally would mumble quotes if someone were to say something to her or ignore them completely. As she moved through the bustling streets of Mystic, Connecticut, she didn't even notice that a man dressed in all black followed her, picking up things she knocked over or saying more sincere apologies to those she plowed past. After a considerable amount of sorry and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again, the pair had reached a more secluded part of town. So now, it was only him and Thalia who roamed the empty streets.

"I am Ciel Phantomhive, head of the Phantomhive household and I swear I won't."

"So you're as enthusiastic about us as I hoped," the man cloaked in black chuckled, his eyes turning from a murky red to two swirling pools of vibrant hot pink and his pupils elongating into slits. "I can't wait to see how Young Master likes to be dropped unexpectedly into the middle of a game he thought was his own." The man faded into the mist leaving Thalia alone.

...*.*...*.*...

Thalia walked up the steps to her small home on the waterfront, blindly reaching for the doorknob as she read the last few words of the book.

"I guess I'll have to buy the next book," Thalia sighed, pushing her glasses on top of her head as she walked up the stairs to her room. "And to believe I liked Undertaker too," she sighed, rummaging through her drawers in search of her pink Sebby-cow that she carried around almost everywhere besides school. In the midst of searching for her not so long lost Sebastian doll, she decided to put her music on. As she jammed her iPod into the semi broken speakers, her IPod's screen flashed to life and soon Monochrome No Kiss blared through the speakers.

The monochrome blows

Through our colorless encounter.

I shall entrust each of my pains to you

The unforgiving autumn,

Which forcefully traces my scars, comes

While your cool fingers still beckon me

After I'd melted, you tenderly save

The troublesome, icy me

And toy around with me with a kiss

Nevertheless, I search for a single form of love

Your dried eyes tied it to the present from a time far beyond

If I can, I want to end while shrouded this like

Together, we concealed our pale selves; the moon is hiding, too

How many nights

Did I come to love since then?

In the sea of dependence, I forget to even breathe

Thalia was soon swaying happily too and fro her room, forgetting about her stuffed animal, but her happiness was soon interrupted when her music was stopped.

"What the hell!" she yelled through clenched teeth, turning around to angrily glare at the source of her music's cutoff, but was pleasantly surprised to see her 14-year-old twin brother, arms open in a hug.

"Oh I didn't know that mommy's little princess cussed. I might just have to tell," he scolded teasingly.

"Adrian James, if you tell a single soul..." she shut up when his lips pressed against her's. She was startled and repulsed at the idea of her own brother kissing her and quickly shoved him off.

"Did you feel anything?" he said eyes pleading and almost...desperate.

"No, nothing at all," she looked at him and he sighed.

"Damn it, all then its true!" he said slamming his foot into the ground.

"What's true?" she asked feeling confused.

"I'm gay."

...*.*...*.*...

After Adrain had finished explaining the 'signs' explaining to how he was most definitely gay, leading up to their strange siblingly kiss, she concluded that he was indeed gay.

"I knew it all along!" said Thalia, giggling waiting for his reply.

"Really?" he asked shocked that she could have guessed.

"Yep, the way you always looked at our dog, Mr. Wubblson's butt could have indicated only one-" WHAM! Aidren hit her square in the face with a pillow.

"Be serious!" he yelled.

"I was!" she protested, putting her hands up in front of her face to block his next attack.

"Ha! Missed me you big meanie butthead!" Thalia yelled jumping up and down childishly, sticking out her tongue.

"That's what you think!" Adrien yelled, aiming a pillow right at her stomach and knocking the air out of her.

"You've won this round evil doer," she choked out before dramatically dropping to the floor.

"Haha!" he yelled triumphantly, running his fingers through his short blonde hair.

"It seems you have won this round oh brother of mine, so what do you want me to do?" she said sighing because she knew her brother (being the evil genius he is) would think of some way to forever embarrass her, like one time she had to buy all the ice cream she could with 100 dollars (of her money) and put it in a cardboard box to give to children at a local park (you can only imagine the parent's outrage).

"So what is it?" she asked staring at the ground dejectedly.

"Nothing, you listened and that's all the repayment I need," he said smiling down at her happily.

A few seconds passed before a hard knock was heard at the door. Before Thalia had time to say come in, the door swung open revealing a stout woman with an angry look on her face holding a kitchen rag.

"I drove you here from the airport, I got you fast food, I even help pay for your tuition to that genius school you go to in Illinois, and yet you still run past me and up here to see your sister and don't even bother to say thank you! I have half a mind to not cook dinner for you!" Ms. Cordell scolded staring fiercely at the twin siblings.

"Thank you mother, we love you oh so very much and wish not to starve tonight," they both said monotonously and in perfect sync.

"Well dears, if you put it that way I'll get cooking!" she said turning around and vanishing down the hall.

"She's still as soft as melted butter I see," said Adrien sighing.

"Yep she's totally oblivious to sarcasm and rudeness," said Thalia.

"But she's still mom," they both said simultaneously.

"Jinx," they said in unison over and over again seeing who would give in first.

…*.*…...*.*...

"DINNER!" yelled the twin's mother from downstairs.

"COMING!" Thalia yelled back, hurrying down the stairs and looking over the table covered in sumptuous foods like stuffed ravioli and homemade pizza, and best of all… Lasagna! They yet again ignored their mother and basically dove into the table, consuming everything they could get (Adrien even swallowed a few napkins in his haste ) and after their wordless dinned was finished, they rushed up to their rooms to get ready for bed. While Thalia was changing, there was a knock at her door.

"H-hey Thalia, can I sleep with you tonight? I'm so used to having a roommate, it will be hard to sleep without one," he said nervously fidgeting outside her door.

"Of course," came her reply and he quickly pushed into her room to see her wearing Ciel Phantomhive slippers, a Sebastian shirt, and Undertaker heads and coffins on her pants.

"Um…what's up with the old guys on your pants?" he asked staring at the insane smile the old geezer was wearing.

"A legendary shinigami named Undertaker," she said nonchalantly as if having on old guy on your pants was no biggie.

"A shinny-whatty?" her brother said obviously confused by the different language.

"Death reaper," she said looking at him like he was an idiot.

"Whatever," he said climbing into her bed. She climbed in after and they quickly fell asleep.

"Now it's time for the plan to come into action soon. Young Miss Cordell, you will be mine," said an ominous voice looming above them.

…*.*…...*.*...

Thalia woke up in the middle of the night when she heard a knocking on her window. She lazily looked over and saw two red orbs staring at her through her second floor window. She jolted fully awake and decided to wake up her brother to go outside and investigate with her.

"Adrien come on come with me I saw something!" she whispered urgently.

"Sure I'd like some pickles from the marshmallow cloud," Adrien mumbled in his sleep.

"Oh, I'll show you pickles!" she muttered, angrily stomping downstairs to retrieve a jar of pickles from the fridge.

She returned upstairs, opened the jar, and poured it on his head pickles and all.

"Ahh—" Adrien jumped awake yelling, but Thalia clamped a hand over his mouth.

"Muhummmahammahanahh!" he yelled incoherently into her hand.

"Shut it! I saw something outside and you are coming with me too see what it is!" Thalia whisper yelled at her brother.

"Ok, ok, just no more pickles," he said glaring at Thalia.

"Kay kay," she said cheerfully dragging him down the stairs and out the back door. Her foot went to touch solid ground but instead it hit space and they where both falling…falling….falling.

"I guess I'll have to deal with two," mumbled the demon as he picked up the void and put it in his bag. He didn't realize that that choice would change everything he ever knew.
