Black Butler / Kuroshitsuji FanFiction
Chapter 1
"Hey Erika, you okay?" I looked up at my best friend Claudia, concern on her face.
"Yea, yea, of course I'm fine!" I reassured her as I stifled a yawn.
"Are you sure about that? You look kinda pale." My other best friend Lindsey asked concern on her face as well.
"I'm fine you guys! I just haven't gotten enough sleep lately.." the moment I said it, I regretted it.
"Oh my gosh, Erika! You haven't been playing that stupid video game all night again, have you?" Lindsey practically demanded.
"Dang, Lindsey! You sound like my mother!" I snorted. She looked at me with daggers in her eyes but said no more. "And no, I haven't been playing that game all night, because I already beat it!" I claimed proudly, a smug look on my face.
"Oooh, then I know what you've been doing!" Claudia cooed as she winked at us, I reflexively face-palmed.
"Ya'll are idiots, I swear…" I mumbled under my breath.
"You knoes it!" they both exclaimed loud and proud.
"Be quiet!" I shushed them, a little too late.
"Erika, Lindsey, Claudia. What are you guys working on?" Our home room teacher, Mr. Davidson asked.
"Uuuhh… Our vocabulary flash cards?" I exclaimed as Claudia nervously picked up the deck of flash cards off the table.
"Ummhmm..." was all he said as he eyed us suspiciously and walked away.
"You guys are idiots! Don't forget we're still in class!" I scolded.
"ANYWAYS! Why haven't you been getting any sleep?" Lindsey asked, changing the subject.
"You promise not to tell anyone?" I asked protectively. They nodded eagerly.
"Who are we ganna tell anyways?" Claudia scoofed.
"Ehh, good point… Well, lately I've been having these weird dreams, and they were all anime related. Like last night, I was in the Phantomhive Estate..." Lindsey just sat there smiling at me, and Claudia looked like she was going to fangirl scream right then and there.
"What was it about?" Lindsey asked curiously.
"Well-" And there began a long nightmare of a dream.
"My Lady…" someone sweetly whispered to me. I stirred in my sleep as I tried to put a name to the voice.
"My Lady…" There it is again. I thought to myself. Where have I heard that voice before?
"My Lady!" the voice boomed.
"Huh? W-What? What's going on?" I mumbled half asleep, half awake.
"Sorry to disturb your slumber, My Lady, but you have arrived at the Phantomhive residence."
"Five more minutes mommy…" I mumbled. I turned around to get more comfortable when I hit my head hard on something. "what the hell…?" I cursed under my breath as I turned around once again to see who had been speaking to me.
"Would you like some assistance out of the carriage, My Lady?" asked the voice. The first thing I saw was a white gloved hand outstretched to me. I grasped onto it as I looked up at the rest of the man.
He was absolutely breath taking! He was tall and lean, and he wore a nice, crisp, black butler suit. He had some-what long, raven black hair and gorgeous ruby colored eyes. His grip tightened around my hand as he helped me out of a carriage I dint even know I was in, and I couldn't help but blush.
"Thank you." I said nervously. He nodded his head and bowed before me like a well behaved butler should. I stood there for a minute staring at my feet as I pondered where I've seen him before. It was only then that I realized that I was wearing a beautiful lavender dress with silver bead designs and shoes to match. I only looked up from awing at myself when I heard a small cough from my left.
"Uh... sorry…" I said blushing when I realized that I was still grasping Sebastian's hand.
Sebastian! Ha! I knew I knew him! I thought triumphantly as I released my hand from his and placed mine both in front of me.
"Are you by any chance-" I began.
"Sebastian!" demanded a voice inside the ginormous white mansion.
"Excuse me, Miss, but my bocchan is in need of my assistance." Sebastian apologized, giving me a small bow before fleeing to the mansion. I stood there for a while, contemplating on where I was supposed to go.
"Why am I even here?" I asked myself confused. I looked around me and was surprised on how big the actual mansion was. It could have been bigger than a few football fields.
I wonder if they have football in this era. I thought to myself as I turned completely around, leaving my back to the mansion. I was about to marvel at the gorgeous gardens when I was glomped from behind.
"Erika! I'm so clad you made it!" came a small and petite voice.
"Uh, yea! Here I am!" I said nervously.
"And you look so pretty in that dress!" came the voice again. I turned around to see a girl a couple years younger than me, with curly blond pig tails and a pink and red dress.
"As do you!" I said cheerfully, trying to hide my confusion.
"Lady Elizabeth! The first dance is about to begin!" warned a lady with big boobs and brown hair.
Elizabeth… Lizzie! It's Lizzie! Ha! Another one down! Which means the girl with the big boobs is Maria, her maid!
"Alright!" Lizzie called after her. "Come on!" she said excitedly as she pulled me along to the front of the mansion. Before I could protest, I was dragged inside to the middle of a stunningly pearl white dance floor, with a beautiful chandelier to above, making everyone look like they were gliding on thin air every time they moved.
"I'll be right back, k?" Lizzie said happily as she skipped off into the crowd. I reached out to try to catch Lizzie before she ditched me when someone else grabbed my hand.
:"Oh! Look at this gorgeous robin that was sent to me from the heavens!" A guy with white-ish blond hair, in a completely white, over the top suit, swooned over me. I pulled my hand away nervously.
There's something off about this guy… I thought to myself.
*BEEEEEEP* came the loud bell, signaling the end of class. Claudia, Lindsey, and I gathered our stuff from the table and shuffled out the door like everyone else.
"I can't believe the Viscount fell for you!" squealed Claudia as we walked down the crowded hallway.
"I know right!" I whispered excitedly.
"Geez, it was her dream! Like anyone else would swoon over her…" Lindsey mumbled. Claudia and I faked "gasp!" from shock, making us all giggle like maniacs down the hall.
"I'll tell you some more of the dream at lunch, k?" I told them before we all left to our separate classrooms.
"K!" they both exclaimed after me.
