A/N: Hello, everyone! This is my first fanfic, and I am sooo happy to finally be writing this. I've written my own stories, but I never thought to write a Kuroshitsuji fanfic. So please read and review! I love feedback. Criticism is my friend. :D
Chapter One: Dreams
I am not one for dancing. Some call me a wallflower or an anti-social freak, but I refer to myself as a very studious girl who seeks pleasure in reading. If I wanted to dance, I would. If I wanted to become a flirtatious gentlewoman, I would. That, however, is not my goal in life. No, I want so much more. I want to be an explorer. Then again, that all changed when I met him. It was at a ball; the Phatomhive's Christmas ball. My dear sister simply had to go, and my sister got whatever her young and beautiful heart desired. She was the life of the family; who could say no to her. Unfortunately, I was one of those people who could never say no to her. She made the word "no" seem like a distant fantasy; a babe's word that adults dismissed as gibberish.
So there I was standing in the back of the ballroom watching the many dresses glitter in the light. My younger sister made her way through the crowds of young gentlemen. Her blond hair rested upon her pale shoulders in soft, gentle curls. Her blue eyes glistened with merriment and amusement. Her white dress made her look like an angel as she flirted with every boy she saw. Of course the suitors fell for it; no one could resist her charm. And then…there was me. Simply Evangeline, as I put it. A girl with dull, black hair and lifeless grey eyes, no one would adore me like they do Margret. Everyone loves Margret; everyone likes to see Margret.
"Hello miss," a smooth, velvet-like voice greeted me in my little corner. I turned around slowly to see the owner of the angelic voice. A tall butler stood looking down at me, and I couldn't help but blush at him. He looked like a Greek god that I use to read about. His raven locks gently swayed whenever he moved, and his crimson eyes were captivating. This man didn't seem human. He couldn't be.
"Hello there." I replied once I found my voice. I managed a high pitch squeak; this is why I don't socialize very often.
The butler simply chuckled. "Are you enjoying yourself, miss? I saw you over here alone, and you looked to be distressed. As a Phantomhive butler, I must see to it that all the guests are satisfied and happy."
"I am quite content, sir. I simply do not enjoy social affairs just as this. I am not one for dancing, nor do I want to be." I crossed my arms, annoyed that he was still speaking with me. I just wanted to be left alone.
"You remind me of my young master," he said with a laugh.
I raised an eyebrow at the butler. "You mean Ciel Phantomhive? We are cousins. I am Evangeline Goodman, sir."
His eyes twinkled as he raised my hand to his lips to plant a light kiss on it. "Ah, Miss Goodman, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Sebastian Michealis."
I would have never imagined that that name would change my life forever. The life I once lived would turn out to be a lie, and the new life that awaited me was foreign to me, Simply Evangeline. If I would have known what waited for me, I would have turned back to the manor and hid myself in the library and dream of exploring exotic places. Then again, no one can escape their destiny.
A/N: There is chapter one! I hope you guys enjoy it. I know it's a bit boring and short, but I just came up with the story idea, and I have to get through all the lovely "boring" things before I get to all the twists and turns. I'm still unsure if Evangeline will develop a relationship with Sebastian… Leave me a review telling me your opinion and some ideas and pointers for the future! I also want to know if you guys would like for me to develop a romantic relationship between the two. Thanks you guys!
