A young red haired girl sighed and shook her her head in disappointment as she watched a carriage pull up at the entrance of the manor. "He did it again…" She then thought as she watched Sebastian, the strange new butler of the manor, open the door and help out a tall brown haired man with a mustache of said carriage. "Even though he promised, he did it again… it's not fair". And it truly wasn't fair. The girl's older brother, Ciel, yes Ciel Phantomhive for all of those who are wondering, had promised he would have dinner just with her today. He had told her he finally had the time. That he wasn't busy attending to things having to do with the Phantom Company, the company their parents left behind after their passing. You see about two years ago the Phantomhive household had been a relatively normal and happy one. The manor was intact, her parents were alive, Ciel smiled and laughed like he hadn't had a care in the world, and her, Amy, was happy believing they would always be together. Lizzy would come and play with her and make Ciel dress in pink clothes. Their mother, Rachel Phantomhive, would walk around the manor cheerfully, humming a tune as she did so. Their father, Vincent Phntomhive, would be in his study working almost all day but every once in a while he would come out and ruffle her hair as well as Ciel's and kiss their mother on the cheek. Their Aunt Angelina, or Madame Red as she preferred to be called this days, would visit from time to time as well and bring all types of presents and sweets for little Amy and Ciel. The little Phantomhive siblings would prank the poor aging Japanese butler Tanka or play along with the family dog for hours in the garden though they would always get scolded by their mother for ruining the white roses she loved so much even though afterwards they would just smile sheepishly at her and she would start laughing and join them in the garden until their father would hear the noise and join them too. In very few words everything was perfect in little Amelia Phantomhive's life or she thought so until that one fateful day. The day everything in her life changed, the day her parents died.
She had been sleeping in her room when suddenly she started feeling really hot. She woke up and saw black smoke coming into her room from under the door. Covering her nose and mouth, Amy then jumped out of bed and ran towards the door immediately trying to open it. But the door handle was scorching so as soon as her hand made contact with it burning her hand in the process and causing her to yell out in pain but opened the door anyways just to scream once more at the sight that awaited her. As soon as she opened the door she was met with bright flames of orange and red, burning everything in their path. Tears started to fall out of her eyes as she ran down the extensive hallways of the burning Phantomhive manor. She just ran and ran until she collided with something hard and fell on her back. She looked up and saw it was Tanaka. "Tanaka! Oh my God Tanaka!" The young red haired girl had screamed before running into the arms of the old man. Afterwards he carried her out of the manor where her Aunt, who had been coming to visit for her brother's birthday celebration, had just arrived as well as the police along with doctor who was there to check on both her and Tanaka, who she refused to leave his side until she was able to see her parents and brother. And so after the doctor made sure that everything was alright with Tanaka and her, which it was except for some burns Tanaka received in his back and Amy in her hand, her Aunt walked towards her and sat next to her. "Sweetie…" She had told her with a very saddened expression. "You're going to have to come and stay with me for a while…"
"Oh… um alright Auntie Ann, but where are my parents? And Ciel?" Amy then asked her. Her Aunt's eyes widened and filled with tears. "You see sweetie… your mom and dad have gone away to a very far away place and afraid they will not be able to come back anymore." She told her and this time Amy's eyes widened and teared up. "B-but why? Are t-they angry a-at me? Was i-it because I-I misbehaved a-a lot? A-and what a-about Ciel? D-did he g-go away as well beca-use he's still angry I-I ta-ke his stuff sometimes?" She asked her aunt in between sobs. "No, sweetie… it isn't because of that. They weren't angry at you… it's just that they have gone to heaven and once you go there you can never come back but one day you will be able to see them…" Her Aunt had explained back then, and after a few more hours of Amy crying and asking more questions about her parents she fell sleep and Angeline took her back to her manor.
The next few months after Amy's aunt, who had started going by Madame Red, tried to make her as happy as possible. She tried to giver her everything she wanted and treated her like the daughter she never had. At first Amy hadn't been happy at all. She missed her family and wanted to go home but it just wasn't possible. But then little by little she moved on. Almost four years went by and Madame Red and Amy lived very happily by then until he showed up. Ciel, her thought to be dead brother, showed up out of the blue along with a new mysterious butler with piercing red eyes and who only dressed in black. Madame Red and Amy immediately dropped everything and headed back to where the old Phantomhive manor had been and reunite with Ciel, where there shockingly found that the manor had been rebuilt by Ciel who had changed from that once cheerful boy they knew to the cold emotionless one they stared at that day. But Amy didn't care… she just cared that her brother was back so even when he pushed her to the ground when she cried out his name and ran to hug him, she just smiled. She just smiled because she was glad that he was alive and back with her.
After that Amy stopped living with Madame Red and moved in with Ciel in the restored manor along with the new butler and new staff, and Tanaka who as soon as she saw him ran towards the old man and shared a hug with him. She owed him her life after all and she hadn't seen him since the night of the fire.
It had really uncanny how that new butler, who she later learned was named Sebastian, and his brother had been able to rebuild the whole manor almost identically to the original one but then again everything that butler did was a little uncanny and even scary how perfect everything he did was. But anyways just because her home looked the same didn't meant that her life was going to be the same. For starters, her parents were dead and she barely saw her brother who was always attending business or special request from someone she didn't know. The only reason she knew about the request was because one day when her brother had gone to a conference, someone knocked on the door and she opened it before any of the new servants her brother had hired could. Anyways there at the door was a man who wore a butler's outfit that resembled Sebastian's but instead of black it was snow white, as well as his hair and skin. In fact the only thing that wasn't completely white about the man were his piercing purple eyes. Said man smiled down at her and gave her a letter, saying it was for the Queen's Guard Dog, Ciel Phantomhive. Afterwards he left and when Ciel got home Amy gave the letter to him and started asking all sorts of questions until Ciel snapped. "Stop being such a nuisance, Amy!" He had yelled at her. After that if amy thought that before she didn't saw her brother much, she was wrong. Before they at least ate their meals together but after that they even didn't do that. In fact it seemed like he was avoiding having any contact with her. So after a while she confronted him about it. They had fought for a little while, meaning she told Ciel she was sorry about bothering him and that she wanted, no needed him to stop ignoring her, that she needed her big brother back but Ciel told her to stop being ridiculous and she cried. Then Ciel sighed and promised that he would have dinner with her that evening so they could talk and for once stop attending business to spend a little time with her. But as the red haired girl watched the wretched carriage and the business man that Sebastian was greeting from her window, she shook her head in disappointment.
"Was I really expecting him to fulfill his promise?"
She felt something wet running down her cheeks and realized that she had started crying. "I guess I was…" She thought as she brought up her hand to wipe away the tears. She then look down once more. "I'm such a fool… oh well." She whispered softly and ready to close the curtains of her window before taking notice of certain crimson eyes and their mysterious owner. "You know he is a little scary sometimes, he is actually very good looking…" Amy couldn't help but think as she stared at the crimson orbs when suddenly the owner of said gem-like eyes looked up smirking and winking an eye at her, almost as if he had known what she was thinking. She gasped blushing and quickly closed the curtains. He had seen her. Sebastian, her brother's strange new butler had seen her starring at him and winked at her… or had she just imagined that? She blushed harder as she pondered on it but then decided that whatever that had been, it had definitely been strange.
"Oh well… it doesn't matter." She thought.
"I need to worry more about how to get my big brother back because I don't know how much longer I can't take this…"
