Hello all my dear friends and readers! I took this story down due to writer's block, but now I have decided to challenge myself to finish it. Also, I have decided to make it into different "arcs". So, here is the first part of "The Abandonment Arc!"
Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Black Butler.
A Spider's Queen Or A Raven's Princess?
She never thought it was possible…
Neither of them did…
One decision that would change several lives forever…
Especially her life…
. . .
~12 Years Earlier~
Heavy rain had just started to fall as a young woman ran through the dark streets of London carrying a baby girl wrapped in a white blanket.
"Hush little one; I promise this will be over soon." The young mother whispered, adjusting the infant's blanket. Finding a large basket, she places the baby inside and comes across a large estate.
After locating the entrance, she tearfully placed the basket on the front step; the young mother placed a letter on the infant's lap and after kissing her tiny forehead, knocks on the door and runs off into the night, never to be seen again.
~1 Minute Later~
A woman with long silver hair and bluish purple eyes answered the door and was about to close it until she heard shuffling. Looking down, she discovers the abandoned infant, resulting in a gasp escaping her purple lips.
"What in the world?" the woman thought as she crouched down and lifted said infant, noticing the note moments later.
Please take care of my child as I am unable to do so. Her name is Rosalina. We've been through a lot of tough times, so please change that for her.
Dark-blue eyes met hers as the woman thought about what to do next. She knew the infant's chances of survival were slim to none because of her master's short temper and his very loyal butler (who would most likely be ordered to end the child's life at first sight…and would most likely obey), so she decided to do the deed herself.
"Do it now…"
"Do it now…"
She took out her pair of gardening scissors and raised the sharp blades over the baby's face. Quickly lowering them, she suddenly stops short once the blue-eyes female stared at her again.
It was as if paternal instincts struck her.
She could tell that the infant needed guidance and was vulnerable to many things. There was also a strong sense of purity and innocence.
Dropping the scissors to the side, she tucked the infant into her chest and began to cradle her.
Then something else struck her…
How would she explain this situation to her master?
Would she be able to convince him to allow her to keep the fragile being?
With a nervous sigh escaping her lips, the white-haired woman stood up and headed towards her master's study.
Well, there's the first part!
I hope you enjoyed it!
Please stay tuned for part 2!
