Chapter 1
Once something is truly lost...
"No!" I screamed as I watched the chainsaw rip through her body,"you devilish fiend!" I launched myself at the red haired man. i took the chainsaw and turned the blade around to face him.
"You are quite a capable young goddess! I think I have a crush!" he exclaimed.
A feral growl ripped through my throat as I the chainsaw above my head.
"Sebastian do not let her kill him!" a young boy yelled.
"Yes, my lord." A more mature male voice answered, I shrieked and proceeded to bring the chainsaw down on the red head's head. A force like a ton of bricks smacked into my body, i was pushed off of the redhead, and landed hard on the damp cobblestone.
"Stay here young lady," a dark haired man lie on top of me for a moment. I only registered enough to know he was handsome before he left in a blur of black and white.
His absence allowed me to see my sister's dead body; I crawled over to her sobs ripping through my trembling body. With shakey hands I pulled her head onto my lap. Grief swiftly crushed me, I had nothing and no one. My heart ached, I kissed her forehead, rubbing a hand through her blonde curls.
"Sister I am so sorry! I did not protect you! I tried; I tried so hard!" I sobbed.
What was I going to do now? Where could I go? There was nothing for me now, nothing this world could offer. I had failed; I was a failure. It was now time to die and face my punishment. The shiny revolver in my sister's hand caught my attention, I would join her in death. All things seized to exists for me, it was just the revolver, the corpse, and me.
"You were all I had! Now you are gone. I must depart with you."
My voice was filled with defeat; I took the revolver and put the cold metal to my forehead. Swift pull of the trigger, searing hot pain, but nothing more.
"Young Lady?!" the mature male voice said in surprise.
"Later, Bassy!"
I'm. Not. Dead. Warm liquid trickled down my forehead.
"Miss, Miss?! Are you alright?!" the young boy moved within my line of vision. I looked deep within familiar blue, but only one, how odd. my hand moved mechanically as I touched my forehead and removed the bullet. Tears overflowed as I stared at the flattened bullet.
"I can't even join in death!" I bawled throwing the crumpled, useless bullet.
"What is your name?" the boy asked.
"Lillian," my voice sounded dead, devoid of all life."
"Is there any place we can take you, anywhere you can go?"
i shook my head miserably, looking down at my dark caramel colored skin. Needless to say I was not the most popular girl.
"Sebastian take her home with us." the boy ordered
"Yes, my lord," the boy walked away as this was said," young lady, may I carry you."
At the moment I didn't think myself capable of moving, let alone walking, so I nodded. I kissed sister's cheek, then let the man named Sebastian pick me up. He carried me to the carriage and put me inside. I didn't speak as I entered, instead I stared longingly at the stars.
"Lillian, you will work for me at my mansion. What can you do?" the boy with the cerulean eye asked, the other eye was covered with a black eye patch.
"Anything and everything," I answered.
"Then you will be our new head maid. Sebastian will tell you of your role in the manor tomorrow, tonight he will merely show you to your room."
I nodded," Might I ask your name?" my voice was quiet, and emotionless.
"My name is Ciel Phantomhive," he answered. I nodded again.
"Master Ciel, you have my allegiance," i fisted my hand over my heart and bowed my head.
The carriage stopped and the door opened. Master Ciel stepped out first, then myself; I followed butler, Sebastian, into the manor, to my room. Under different circumstances, I might have flirted with this man, he was quite handsome pale skin, black hair, tall stature, and able bodied.
"Here we are. I will come to wake you in the the morning."
"Affirmative," I answered. He smiled slightly then closed the door as he left. I took a bath in the washroom connected to my room, then slipped in to a soft cotton night gown. My room had a window, a very large one looking out on the garden. I lie in bed staring at the moonless sky until sleep took me.
