From the small description, you can obviously tell that this story was made already and I stopped it for reasons. 1. I wasn't interested in the story anymore. Don't get me wrong. I love Black Butler. I mean who doesn't. 2. My character was way too based of like Ciel. The reason for that was because I read so many stories about twins, and the Phantomhive twins were exactly like. I loved those stories and wish to create my own from those.
Over the months, however, I realized that wasn't fun at all and it was just another copy of a character. If anyone here is thinking of writing a story, please take my advice and don't copy any of the characters. You will have more fun by just making your own character, own personality, look, and own story. I made those mistakes and if you read my Vampire Knight story, that isn't rewritten. You will completely understand. I regret making a copy of Yuki. *sigh*
Anyway, this story is a rewritten of my old story. New Life. Unfortunately, I believe changing the title was the best option. The reason... if the title doesn't line up with the story then it will make no sense in my opinion. Thank you for reading this long passage of my reasoning and understanding of why I'm rewriting it. Enjoy the story and everyone have great day. *bows*
I do not own Kuroshitsuji
Chapter 1
The Introduction of Raven
I had the same dream again. The dream of a happy family that will never come true.
The bright sun was shining on my eyes making it impossible to sleep. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes to have all my senses finally awake. I sit up with my dark navy hair falling all the way down my back, my bang covering one part of my eye, and my short shirt showing my bare legs.
"It's morning..." I spoke angrily, grumbling under my breath.
After my grumbling, I heard a knock on my door that brought to my attention. The voice behind the door could have only been Meyrin.
"My lady, may I come in?" She spoke softly.
I stand up from my comfy bed walking over to the door opening it. My eyes landed on Meyrin form. Her simple maid outfit always clean and wears, her hair always up, and no glasses. Her eyes connect mine with seriousness. I open the door wide for her, allowing her to coming into my room.
"A t-shirt again my lady. You do know that is very unladylike to do it here?" Meyrin says again.
My reply was just a simple I know and closing the door. Meyrin asked that question for the thousands time. Ever since I assigned her as my personal maid, she wouldn't stop trying to get me wearing a nightgown. Ciel might have Sebastian as his butler but Meyrin was the person that I wanted as my personal maid. I knew of her old job and knew the past she had. That's why I ordered her to not come to me while she wears her glasses. I rather see eyes than just some glasses that can damage her eyes.
"How are your eyes Meyrin?" I ask worriedly while she changes me.
She looks up at me with a small smile replying, "They are perfectly fine. I take them off at night as you requested madam."
I sigh in relief that she follows my orders. She puts on my socks, shoes, and finally brushes my long hair. Every time she does my hair, there is always compliments of how soft and fair it is. Once she is done, she always braids my hair to any style she wants. Today, she curled my haired and braided only one piece of my hair. I touched the braided piece of my hair to smile softly.
"Finish my lady," She says stepping back.
I look at my reflection satisfied with the results she has made. My dress was a dark green with white socks and brown boots. I stand up looking at Meyrin as she was waiting at the open door.
"It's time to eat my lady," Meyrin bows waiting for me.
I exit out the room walking down stairs with Meyrin behind. Before she open the door, she pulled her glasses that my brother gave her. My eyes narrowed watching as she put those horrible glasses back on. She must have noticed my hatred for those glasses as she looked at me.
"Forgive me my lady, but it was Ciel who gave it to me," She tries to explain.
I raised my hand stopping her from explaining any further, "I understand Meyrin. I just hate those glasses that can damage your eyes."
"I understand mistress," She looks down sadly, returning to the old Meyrin everyone knows here.
I sigh to look at the doors as she open it bowing down with Ciel, Finny, and Bard already in the room.
"Good morning Mistress!" Bard and Finny both spoke bowing down.
I nodded to them sitting down at my spot on the table, across from Ciel.
"Good morning Raven," Ciel greeted while eating a scone not connecting his eyes with mine.
I look up at him greeting, "Good morning big brother."
My name is Raven Phantomhive. The youngest and only daughter to the Racheal and Vincent Phantomhive. The daughter of a famous company like my parents had, I was suppose to be remain secret from the public. Unfortunately, unfortunate circumstance made my presence known to London of my existence.
I looked over at Finny as he continue to rub his head with dry tears at the corner of his eyes. Finny is our gardener. The poor boy was found by Sebastian. He was experimented on with incredible strength. Then there was Bard. His knowledge on weapons and explosives is quite impressive. Unfortunately, he is known as the chef in this building. The man cannot cook because he will exploded everything.
My gaze went to Ciel as he continue eating his breakfast. Before I can even grab fork, Sebastian storms in the room looking upset. I must admit that he is very handsome. He can make every girl beg to his will if he wishes.
"Finny has the weeding been done in the inner garden? Meyrin have the sheets been washed? Bard, were you not supposed to be preparing tonight's dinner?" All of his questions made them flinch and sweat drop, "Tanaka..." He glance at Tanaka drinking his tea. He sighs letting him do as he wishes to look back at the three, "If you have to be lazing around. Get back to work!" He shouts having Meyrin, Bard, and Finny run out of the door.
My hands were in fist as Meyrin ran past with a scared look on her face. Despite her being my personal maid, Sebastian is still the head and can order my maid. I glance at Sebastian noticing him staring at my grip hand this whole time. He had a smirk on his handsome features. A smirk that can make any girl fall to their knees. I only sighed relaxing my hands to just let it go again.
I stand up grabbing my plate full of food to look up at Ciel, "Excuse me big brother. I will take this to my studies. I have so much work to do in such little time. Ill see you till lunch."
I bow slight to glance at Sebastian as he opens the door. I nodded my head in gratitude to walk out the door but stopped as touched the braid Meyrin made. My whole body froze and my eyes widen as I looked back Sebastian.
"Such soft hair my lady," Sebastian says.
Great excuse Sebastian.
"Thank you Sebastian. Now if you will excuse me," I nodded my head towards him to walk out the room, upstairs, and enter my room as quickly as I can.
I slam the plate on my desk to growl touching the braid still having shivers down my back.
That demon...
I look out of my window to see the massive destruction that the three are going to make in the garden. I just hope that they don't destroy my favorite roses. I sigh to up at the sky daydreaming.
"It's been three years..." I whispered to myself, "I can still remember the smell, Ciel's scream, the heat, the building crumbling... Ciel..."
I closed my eyes remembering Ciel and I holding hands on that cold table, wearing nothing but a red blanket over us, white feathers falling, and meeting... him. His signature smirk and his pink eyes staring right at me. Every stare that I fall into those eyes, I feel like he will steal my soul in that moment. I can see his hand reaching straight towards me, devouring me.
"My lady!"
My eyes snapped open to look up at the ceiling instead of the sky. My body must have been trying to get me to sleep, while I was falling without knowing.
"My lady."
A voice snapped me out of it to look over at Sebastian. He was carrying me, his hands caressing my upper arm, his eyes staring at my navy eyes, and a frown on his face.
"You were daydreaming again?" He asked, making it sound like I do this all the time.
Asshole
"Yes I was. I apologize for the trouble Sebastian," I stand up straightening my dress, facing my back to him.
"No trouble at all my lady," Sebastian replies standing up staring at my back.
I glance at him regretting my decision. In the next incident, his hand was stretching towards the braid again. His touch brought shivers down my spine backing away from his touch.
I look away to ask, "I hope you aren't here to just touch my hair. If you have something to say, then please say it and leave."
"Yes. The man name Mr. Damino has arrived. Your brother is playing a game with Mr. Damino and request your presence," Sebastian explains.
I look at the paper work that I haven't even started. My daydream must have been quite long. I sigh disappointed in myself to look at Sebastian.
"Please tell my brother I'll be there in 20. I need to finish the organize these paper," I ordered to look at the papers on my desk.
I walked over to the desk to start immediately as Sebastian watches me.
"Are you sure your able to finish that big stack of papers in just 20 minut-" He stopped to see all the papers were finished.
"I'm surprised. It took less time than I thought it would be," I stand up to look at Sebastian. "Please ignore what I said. Please take me to my brother and Mr. Damino."
I sigh walking past Sebastian to the doors, waiting for Sebastian to get over his shocked and open the door. It didn't take long as he open the door as we exit the room and enter the lobby room. I knock on the door hearing a come in from the other side of the door. Upon opening the door, I see Ciel playing a game with Mr. Damino who looks terrified and scared. My eyes narrowed as I looked at Ciel kissing his head.
"Raven," He says softly rubbing his thumb against my cheek.
I grab his hand to nuzzle my cheek against his hand looking up at Mr. Damino. He stares at me with a blush on his cheeks that makes me stick to my stomach.
Horny man. I suppose most man in the Victorian Era only think about sex.
I sigh intertwining my fingers with Ciel while sitting on his lap. His eyes widen as I lean my head against his shoulder closing my eyes.
"R-raven?" His voice stutters looking down at me.
I open my eyes slightly to look up at Ciel as he looks at me shocked and surprised from what I'm doing. My sleepiness was overtaking me from sitting on his lap. I've been so comfy at places that it's amazing I don't pass out from just walking. I heard a knock at the door to be alarm quickly staring at the source. The door open to reveal Sebastian again.
"The preparations for dinner have been made," Sebastian informs us.
I stand up from my spot on Ciel hearing Damino say, "Oh, the dinner in that stone garden?I have been greatly anticipating it!"
"Well then, let's leave the rest for later," Ciel commented about the game standing up.
"Ah, even without continuing, it is quite clear that I am going to lose," Damiano states, obviously wanting to stop playing the game.
"Haven't you heard that once you start something. You must finish it," I spoke up walking to the door.
He clicked his tongue grumbling children under his breathe. I stopped in my tracks to glare at the man. He stuttered for a minute and made a pathetic excuse as a cover up. I ignored his excuses leaving the room and entering the stone gardens. The garden was true Japanese delicacy with his atmosphere of peace and calm.
Once I was seated, I look down at my food as already regretted not eating in my room. I swear I was sighing for the hundred time for I can never get use to Sebastian. His over exaggerating on food that isn't needed. His consent way on making our guest speechless and looking a like a fish out of water.
I ate my food to distract myself from the things going around me, but my gaze noticed Meyrin acting strangely. I stopped ready to yell at Meyrin from spilling the drink but it was too late. Sebastian quickly removed the table cloth without anything dropping of the table, only the vibration of the movement had the water shake a little.
"Where did the table cloth?" Damino asked surprised after eating his delicious food.
"There was a small stain on the cloth, so I had it removed. Please don't pay mind to it," Ciel replies with a smirk on his face.
"I am sorry to have disturbed you. Please enjoy your meal to your leisure," Sebastian bows apologetically.
"I am humble Count Phantomhive," Damino says smiling and grateful, "He really is talented."
The compliment for Sebastian had me finish my food. If only this idiot knows just how talented he truly is. I truly cannot wait for what is about to come to this man. I stand up finishing my food and Meyrin by my side.
"If you may excuse me, I have work I must be doing," I said kissing Ciel cheek, and walking back inside the building.
Meyrin was following me in the building until we were officially alone taking off her glasses.
"My lady, is there something wrong?" She ask with concern in her face but not in her expression.
"The sooner Ciel finishes with him. The sooner I will be at peace," I replied walking upstairs again but stops.
My thoughts turn into the outcome of the end of the day for Damino. The game will turn into real life for him. His leg breaking, seeing things, his burning skin, and never forgetting us. The one thing you must never do once entering the Phantomhive company.
Never betray a Phantomhive or your fate will be sealed in our hands.
"My lady? Why did you stop?" Meyrin asked confused.
She snapped me out of my thoughts glancing at her. Despite her being my maid, she knows no knowledge of Sebastian true self. No knowledge of what is going to be the outcome of that man.
"Meyrin, please clean the mansion for me. I'll be in my study," I ordered walking up the steps and into my study.
I sit down on my chair to look at the papers that are need of Ciel signature. My organization continue for twenty minutes until a knock on my door and Sebastian voice came in.
"Come in Sebastian," I replied looking at him.
He was smiling at me with a tray of Italian tea. My expression turn into disgust as I looked the other way.
"I'll have something else if that is all you have Sebastian," I requested to write on some correction with this paper.
"Seem busy mistress?" He asked putting the tea away that he was making for me.
I nodded my head to hear screaming from outside my door, and a loud crash from falling to the floor. My chuckles from hearing this soon turned into laughter.
"My lady?" Sebastian questioned surprised.
My laughter continued but stop as I smirked up at Sebastian. My elbow placed on the desk, my palm on my cheek, staring at Sebastian with excitement and joy in my eyes.
"Once you start something, you must finish it Sebastian," I replied.
His own smirk appeared on his face knowing exactly what I mean. Sebastian bow down and exit the room with a same old yes my lord. I lean against my chair to listen to the loud sounds that our guest was making. His screams couldn't help but make me laugh. Just the imagine of the man trembling from Sebastian's eyes made my smirk widen even more.
"I guess Sebastian is more of use than just a simple butler," I spoke to myself.
I look over at the papers to notice a letter in the pile. It is unusual for no letters were suppose to be in the paper. I reached forward to the letter, undoing the seal, and reading the paper. Years of reading files for Vincent Phantomhive, I learned to skim through the papers and get straight to the point. My eyes narrowed from the letter to rip it in pieces. I threw the letter away to look at the window facing my reflection.
12 years... 12 years of being stuck in Kuroshitsuji... 12 years of learning the Phantomhive family... 12 years of being... Raven Phantomhive...
"I wonder... when I'll go back home..." I closed my eyes to breathe then open my eyes again.
My true name is Lilith... and I am from the from real world...
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. For some of you that have read the old story, you can obviously tell that I dramatically changed the story, and hopefully I improved as well. I'm gonna have this story seem like a mystery for how she got in the world of the Kuroshitsuji.
Also, I am going to change Meyrin when she is with Raven. As I'm watching the anime again. I honestly love Meyrin. She is just adorable, sweet, and so funny. I mean, who wouldn't want an assassin as there personal maid. That is so cool right? Please forgive me if you guys are huge fans of Meyrin and dislike this new look of Meyrin to Raven.
Until Next Time
