[A/N]
Hey, Sarafinja here! This is my very first FF, so please bear with me! I'm also not a native speaker I learn English in school for about 5 years now, so it isn't perfect…
I will continue this story when I got a beta-reader, so send me a PM if you want to do this.
I don't really understand the beta-reader system on fanfiction so you don't have to fulfill the criteria given on the site, having an e-mail address and being a native speaker will do for me ;-)
Okay, I don't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters, but Alecto and the plot is mine.
Enjoy the story!
Ch 1 - one hell of a time travel
I looked in my biology book and groaned. When I picked biology as one of my main subjects in school I was expecting something interesting like anatomy but definitely not the food chain.
"Miss Delmarri" my teacher said, using my last name. "Please come to the front and present your work to the class."
I stand up with a small sigh. In my opinion it wasn't necessary to compare a food chain, I mean, it's quite obvious that frogs don't eat eagles, isn't it?
As I walked towards the board I started trembling. What was going on? Usually my health wasn't so poor…
Opening my mouth for presenting my work my sight suddenly went black and I felt my body hitting the floor.
Still in a half-sleeping state I heard two people talking to each other. Was I brought to the infirmary?
"Oi, Sebastian, you made a mistake. She seems pretty dead."
Dead? Like I was dead!
But on the other hand I couldn't move and I was definitely not at the infirmary. My school employed a female nurse and the voice I just heard belonged to a male, though he sounded a bit like a child.
"I never make mistakes"
Another male spoke. Maybe I was at a hospital and they tried a reanimation. Now, I wasn't sure if I really wasn't dead. I mean, at a hospital they should be able to difference life from death….
"…after all, I'm one hell of a butler." The second man finished his sentence.
If I had control over my body I would have let go out a relieved sigh.
These were good news. Butlers don't work in hospitals, so there was a chance of me being alive. YAY! But, hey wait – BUTLER?! Why the hell would there be a butler unless I was at Buckingham Palace which I dared to doubt. Maybe I just got something wrong and there wasn't a butler but a butcher…
Gulp. I think I preferred the butler; I being at a butcher's after I fainted was a… creepy imagination.
"Young Master, I think she merely passed out. A travel between the times can be quite exhausting…"
Oh my god, his voice was sooo sexy… NO! ARGH! What was my perverted mind thinking again?!
Okay, his voice was totally sexy but I had other things to worry about. At first, time travel. What the hell? That would explain the butler thing, but time travel?! There was no way I would dream about the past during a coma; I was such a failure in history…"
Finally, I managed to open my eyes looking into two faces.
I suppressed a crazy fangirl squeal.
The first face belonged to a boy, more precisely, the cutest boy ever, so cute, I wanted to hug him to death.
He looked a bit younger than me, had grayish hair and one big deep blue eye, the other one was covered by an eye patch. He wore very exquisite looking clothes and had a demanding expression on his face.
Spoiled brat.
Next to him, the sexy body of the sexy voice smirked in my direction. God, he was hot as hell. He had pitch black hair, several bangs hanging in his face. He wore a black tailcoat, I guessed the butler-thing was the real deal.
I couldn't take my eyes off him, grrrr, screw my crazy perverted mind.
"I'm sure you are quite confused about your current situation, my lady" the sexiest butler alive said to me.
"Err… yes?" Was I confused? Damn, his sexiness was too much for my brain to handle.
"I'm very sorry to be so straight forward, but do you mind telling us your name?"
I couldn't think clearly, not sure if it was due to the butler or my headache. Maybe it was because of both… Okay, got me, the butler took the main part of my brain at the moment.
"Alec" I answered shortly, avoiding looking at him to prevent me from another fangirl outbreak.
"Alec?" both man asked unison.
"Quite an unconventional name for a lady" the boy added.
"It's a nickname" I said, sweatdropping. "My name is Alecto Delmarri, satisfied?!
The butler chuckled.
"Alecto? Interesting…" He said quietly and I was not sure if I was supposed to hear that.
"Anyway, welcome to the Phantomhive manor Miss Alecto" the butler said smiling.
Don't misunderstand me. It wasn't a friendly or welcoming smile, it was creepy – yeah, also sexy – but mainly creepy. It reminded me of a rape face instead of a real smile…
"Thanks…?" I asked more than I said, not sure how I should react.
He chuckled again.
"This is my Young Master, Earl Ciel Phantomhive, the current head of the Phantomhive family." He said, pointing at the cute boy. "…and I'm answering to the name of Sebastian Michaelis, the butler of this mansion"
I nodded while looking around the room I was in. It was pretty dark, only a few candles were emitting some light.
Realizing I was still lying on the floor I tried to stand up, failing epically. I didn't manage to get onto my feet, okay, actually didn't manage to move anything except my head.
"What the…?"
"You cannot move yet?"
Angrily I glared at the butler.
"No, of course I can move, it's just a fetish of mine lying on the floor like a butterfly without wings."
"Oh~~?" Sebastian smirked. "Quite interesting, that might be useful to remember…"
My face flushed deep red.
"Gah, that was irony, jerk!"
"Shut it, Sebastian!" The young Earl Ciel glared. "It's enough."
"Of course, my Lord"
"So tell me, why can't she move?"
I sighted. Men. Ignoring me and discussing about me while I was lying on the floor right in front of them, but I wanted to now the same thing s Ciel so I kept my mouth shut.
"It seems like the transportation seal hasn't vanished yet, young master."
"And when might it disappear?" The Earl asked slightly annoyed.
Sebastian gave him a big (but creepy! – this butler was so creepy!) Smile.
"I have not the slightest idea, master."
A tick mark appeared on Ciel's forehead.
"You damned Butler! Then stay here and wait until she can move again. I have some business to take care of!"
With these words he left the room.
As the door closed behind him, Sebastian turned in my direction and smirked down on me. Did I mention that he was creepy?
"So, Miss Alecto, I assume this whole situation is quite confusing for you and –"
"HA!" I interrupted him. "Confusing? What gave you that idea? Time travel? I do that usually twice a month, not to mention the 62 times I got abducted –"
"Miss Alecto…" He sighted at my irony.
"What were you expecting?! Waking up in a creepy little room with a cute little Earl and his damned butler who ask me if I'm confused?!"
He stared at me. It seemed like he didn't expected such an outburst. Haha, touché!
"I demand an explanation" I said regally.
"Ask and I may answer most of your questions."
Most. Not all. Asshole. At least, he was an honest asshole.
"So in which year am I?"
"1892"
"1892?!" Shit, when started world war one again? If I remembered correctly, it was in the 19-hundereds… Damn, I should have paid more attention to my history lessons.
"And where am I?"
"On the floor…"
I rolled my eyes. Veeeeeery funny.
"This is the Phantomhive manor at the outskirts of London" Sebastian explained.
I sensed my body slowly getting back the control over my arms.
"When will I be able to move again?"
"I do not know, Miss Alecto."
"Liar!"
"I never lie."
I stared at him. Everybody lied somewhere in his life.
"You can't tell me that you never lied in your whole life."
He smiled.
"For all the time I've been called Sebastian, I never told a single lie."
I looked at him with narrowed eyes. Another mysterious comment about his name. He also said he answered to the name of Sebastian, not exactly that this was his name. And it was absolutely impossible not to lie a single time. I may be crazy but I wasn't a fool!
"So, since when have you been Sebastian?"
He stared at me, dumbfounded then he chuckled lightly.
"My, my, just 10 minutes and you figured it out. Yours is quite a fine mind…"
"Tsk!" I snorted contemptuous. "What gave you the impression it could be different?"
"I have no intention to offend you, my lady, but your actions a while ago where quite improper and your language was slightly disgusting."
Now, I was the one to be dumbfounded. He just insulted me, being more politely than I would sound talking to the Queen! Was this butler a god or something?
As I finally managed to sit up, my legs the only part of my body I couldn't move by now, Earl Ciel entered the room, a bored expression on his face.
"Hey Chibi-Earl!" I greeted him happily, my voice a bit higher than usual – hey, Ciel was cuteness overload! – And Sebastian burst out in laugher (at least he didn't chuckled again – that was getting on my nerves!) whereas Ciel didn't understand me.
"Sebastian, what is this 'Chibi'-thing?" he asked.
"Actually, my Lord" he answered still amused "the best translation would be the term 'shorty'."
"Miss Alecto, do you know how old my young master is?"
When I shook my head, he continued.
"By the end of this year he will reach the age of seventeen."
My jaw dropped.
Ciel stand there, his arms crossed and a tick mark on his forehead. My cute little Earl looking like thirteen was older than me. Stunned, I shook my head.
"Anyway" I said to Ciel, covering up my bewilderment. "What exactly is your butler? He is definitely not human…"
Ciel grabbed my collar. Gah, this child need to learn to understand jokes!
"How do you know?!" he asked furiously while shaking me. Okay, now I believed that he was almost seventeen. Despite his body high he was strong.
Then, the penny dropped.
"Wait, what? He is really inhuman?" I asked him curiously.
"Huh? So you didn't know about him?"
"I was referring to his ability to insult politely…"
Sebastian facepalmed.
