Heyaa! Soo, I was rewatching Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) episodes when I got this awesome idea! A fanfic! Duhhh
Anywaayy... This fanfic will contain my OCs and the other Kuroshitsuji characters! I'll not exactly be following the original plot, sorry! But I'll try to include the same kind of events...
Eeeekk I'm so excited for writing this fanfic for you guys *squeals*
So I figured that if there's Sebastian: a demon, and Grell (and others): a reaper and Ash (Landers): an angel. There should be fallen angels, princes of hell and all that kinda stuff... *sigh* I have an obsession with fallen angels ...
Heh, so I hope you like :3
I stared into the brightest light I've ever seen as it strayed farther away from me.
"Wait!" I yelled, reaching out, only succeeding in grasping thin air. The light was turning into a small dot in the distance and I felt myself falling, falling... falling...
My wings would not move, my body was frozen as it got dissolved into nothingness. The empty hands of darkness swallowing me.
I screamed as I smacked into the ground, it was so, so hard. I never felt anything so rocky, so cruel to my bare skin, so hard. I tried to sit up to get a look at my surroundings, but I couldn't move, I couldn't so much as lift my finger.
So I lay there on the rough surface, waiting for something to happen, anything.
After a while I woke up, not knowing when I'd drifted off and was greeted by the greatest pain I'd ever felt in my entire life, and that was long. The pain spread across the upper-half of my back, inching down over my spine and towards my neck.
It was burning.
I sat up and felt my head spin by the sudden action, I clawed at the ground, gritting my teeth as the throbbing pain returned to my back.
When it eased enough for me to breathe again, I placed a hand over the burning spot on my back, hissing as it made contact with what was clearly a huge wound.
My eyes widened as I looked at the crimson stains on my hand. Realisation dawning at me, I screamed.
I screamed so loud, I was sure that the Heavens were able to hear me, that even Lucifer would be aware of my sorrow, my grief.
"No..." I whispered as I tried to move my wings. But they were not there. Not anymore.
No, I was punished. Punished for that one thing that everyone desired: Love.
Because of Love, my wings had been burned until the spot where they used to meet my skin. My wings had been taken from me! How could they? They could've taken anything from me, but they took my wings! The most cruel thing to do to any of my kind...
I felt empty.
Gasping, I woke up, the sheets laying tangled around me. I tried to even out my breath before my Mistress could hear me. She couldn't ever be aware of these dreams, no, these memories that come rushing back at me.
The memories of when I fell. Around the same time every year, they come back. Reminding me of what I've done, of the choice I'd made and the consequences that I had to face.
I tucked some white locks of hair behind my ears. I heard a stifled yawn on the other side of the wall. Mistress is awake? I sighed and got out of bed, taking a quick shower and changing into my dress. On my way to the kitchen I tied my hair up in a high pony tail. Arriving at the kitchen, I began preparing my Mistress's breakfast.

"Aislinn?" I flinched slightly at the name, my name. After that dream, it rubbed salt on a fresh wound.
"Yes, Princess?" I asked as I poured some tea for her. She made an unladylike sound.
"I wish you'd just call me Lisette, or Lisa for that matter." I nodded as I handed over her tea, knowing that I wouldn't drop the habbit, anyway.
"I'm only fourteen, you know? Stop the formalities already." She sighed and sipped her tea.
Lisette, I thought and felt like laughing. How ironic did faith have to make it. Her name meaning 'Devoted to God' and mine being the name of many that were disgraced by Heaven. We -
My stream of thoughts were cut off as my Mistress spoke up.
"What's on the program today, Linn?" I took the empty teacup from Lisette and handed her plate with toast.
"We'll be visiting Earl Phantomhive today, Princess." I thought about the heavy burden placed on the Earl's shoulders.
Just as a huge responsibility was placed on Lisette's tiny shoulders. Her parents had both died in an accident when they came to pick up Lisette at her aunt's estate. The whole clothing company her parents had owned was passed down into Lisette's fragile hands, luckily her aunt had known me, a soon to be butler and had entrusted me with her safety and guidance.
Lisette's aunt was the only person I'd opened up to. Not even my Mistress knew of my past. There was one more person though, who I'd told too. But it was no time to think about him now.
I helped Lisette dress into a knee-length purple dress. I was tying the laces on the back of it when Lisette asked something or rather several things.
"Aislinn? Do you think that Lord Phantomhive will be nice? Oh, what does he look like? Does he have a butler, too?!" I chuckled at the many questions the little girl shot at me.
"Yes, Princess, I believe that he is quite the gentleman, he has greyish-blue hair and blue eyes. And I do not recall him having a butler, but it wouldn't be impossible, considering he has household as well."
I finished the bow and spun the girl around to face me.
"Remember, you have to act polite and mannered, okay?" She made a face and sighed.
"Yes, m'am!" She giggled and I had to join, she was too adorable when trying to act like a lady.
Later that evening I appointed the housemaids to keep the mansion clean for our return and put them to work with changing the linens for any unexpected guests. That was my Mistress's idea, the guest rooms. It wasn't very uncommon but Lisette would always talk about how she wanted them prepared, for the friends she was still to meet.
She got that quote from quite an intriguing fairy tale, if I remember correctly.

"Our carriage is here, Princess!" I called through the closed door and it soon opened revealing a small figure.
"I have packed my suitcase!" Lisette said excited.
I frowned, "Were we supposed to stay at the Phantom estate?"
"Oh! I didn't tell you, then? Sorry Aislinn!" She looked down at her toes. I heaved a sigh.
"I shall pack my stuff immediately, but if I may ask.. Why are we staying at the Earl's mansion, Princess?"
Lisette cocked her head and raised an eyebrow, thinking. Suddenly her head snapped back, grinning at me.
"He said that the ride would be too long to get back at my own mansion in time, so we could stay there." She shrugged and continued.
"We are allowed to stay there for as long as I wish!" She clapped her hands excitedly and I just turned around to pack.
After we loaded our suitcases on the carriage we drove off. It was silent for a while and I drifted to sleep.
"No, no please, no!" I screamed as a clergy man came closer, he was holding a cross in my face and was chanting words I could not understand. It wasn't the first time this happened.
My kind was banned from Heaven, banned from the Holy Sites. I often tended to forget that. So when I'd entered the cemetery as a shortcut through the neighbourhood, the iron fence curled outwards. Repelling. Clearly displeased by my presence. I didn't notice the clergyman approaching me and I set another step.
Which I shouldn't have done, because as soon as I did, the ground beneath my feet began disintegrating and the plants on the cemetery ground turned to ash. The man, who was now running in my direction, took out a pocket-bible and a cross that hung from a silver chain.
"I must cleanse you immediately, child. You have poison in your veins." He said as he began chanting.
I'd shrunk back but was unable to move as soon as he started murmuring foreign words.
As he finished his ranting, he pressed the cross on the inside of my wrist and I felt a sharp pain running from my wrist towards my head and through my temples before everything went black.
I woke up with a start, frantically looking around me. I sighed in relief when I saw that my Mistress was still sound asleep and that there was no danger.
I reached for the inside of my left wrist. Left. The unclean side of any being. I snorted as I traced the outlines of a cross, it had been branded into my skin. The cross had burned me, leaving an ugly reminder of who I once worshipped and now loathed.
The carriage jolted and I reached forward to prevent Lisette from falling over. I gently lifted her up and stepped out of the carriage.
People hadn't been lying when I heard them whisper about the Phantomhive estate. It was huge, yes. It had the biggest garden ever seen, most definitely. The mansion could've been bigger than the Queen's castle, absolutely true.
I turned around and stared at the long road spreading towards the main street, and before me the huge garden everyone always talked about.
"Hello, may I help you?" I tensed and turned around. I felt my shoulders drop in relief, it was just a Phantomhive servant.
"Oh, yes. Ild be grateful if you could take the suitcases inside, seen as I got my hands full." I looked down at the sleeping figure in my arms.
I heard the servant chuckle and looked up.
"Very well then, let me introduce myself first." A small bow.
"I am Sebastian Michaelis, Earl Phantomhive's butler." He motioned for me to introduce myself.
How interesting, I mused silently. Sebastian. Meaning reverence, awe, but dread as well and Michaelis, originating from the archangel Michael. I flinched. Archangels.
"Aislinn." I gave a nod and headed for the entrance. Sebastian frowned but soon followed.
"Welcome to the Phantomhive estate." Earl Phantomhive greeted us in the main hall. "I am Ciel Phantomhive." He descended the stairs and came to a halt in front of me and my Mistress. Ciel, I thought. What interesting names they have. Ciel, meant the Heavens, or the sky.
"Much appreciated. This is Lisette de Montgomery. My apologies for my Mistress, she fell asleep during our ride here. Is there a room where she can rest?" The Earl, Ciel, looked at the girl in my arms and gave Sebastian a nod.
"Of course, please follow my butler." That said, he turned around and disappeared.
I followed Sebastian through a labyrinth of hallways before he finally opened a door and let us inside. I put Lisette gently on the bed and turned around to thank Sebastian, but something tugged on my hand.
I looked down and Lisette's small hand was clasped around my wrist. "Linn... Stay." She mumbled and tugged on my wrist once more before she let go.
I looked down at the sleeping figure. She's never been good with new places. I sighed and turned to Sebastian.
"Thank you." I said quietly, not wanting to wake Lisette up.
"It's quite alright, I will put your suitcase in the room next to this." He bowed and spun his heels to leave.
Suddenly I tensed instinctively, I sensed the presence of something dark. Sinister almost, but before I got to put my finger on it, it vanished. Sebastian closed the door with a soft click.
Shrugging it off I went to lay down next to my Mistress.
Lisette curled into my chest and I smiled softly. My light side might have been taken from me. My soul might have gone dark but I was still able to love and to care for this little creature next to me. I swung an arm around her small figure and ran my fingers through her brown locks. Finally I fell asleep.
~Uhmm... Sooo.. have you figured out what Aislinn is? Hehehhe
