Hello all! I have re-written this story because I wrote it a longgg long time ago and I thought it sucked. However, I deliver my thanks to Writers Unknown for his/her review that made me want to try again.
By the way, notice how I don't use Pounds as the currency. Sorry, but the only currencies I'm good with are dollars (America and some other countries) and won (Korean).
Somewhere, there was a tiny dream. Such a tiny dream it was.
No one knew about the dream. The dream began to think,
"I don't want to die this way! There must be a way for people to dream of me."
The tiny dream thought and thought and came up with an idea.
"I'll let humans wander into me...then let them create their own world..."
"Alicia…." Alex groaned angrily.
"What?" She asked, biting the bar of chocolate.
"…Why the hell did you just buy 20 bars of chocolate from the most expensive store you could find and waste 20 bucks?" He tried to remain calm.
"'Cause I was hungry…," Alicia replied, taking another chunk and handing the rest to her twin, "You want it?"
It's always hard to stay calm in a tough situation. Especially when you're in an alley and have only $10 to live off of because your idiot of a twin sister decided to blow 20 on chocolate.
"I oughta slug you," He threatened.
"What's the use? Anyway, you shouldn't use slang, Alex."
See? Idiot sister.
Alex sighed as carriages rolled by and listened to the clopping of horse hoofs. He leaned on the left wall and slid down to sit. "Forget it."
"I thought so-" Alicia stopped and suddenly jerked her head toward the opening.
Alex heard a loud crack from her neck as she did so. "Didn't that hurt?"
Alicia didn't answer.
"Oi, Alley? You ok?" He got up and waved his hand in front of her face.
She pushed his hand aside and sprinted over to a dark blue carriage, abandoning all the chocolate she had wasted their money on.
"Alley! Wha-" He stopped and sighed. It didn't really matter, as long as he would be able to make sense of the situation right away. And with that wild look in her eyes, there was only one answer to his question.
Ciel sighed as he reopened his letter.
Dear Earl Phantomhive, the winner of the Funtom Toy Company's Toy Contest has been released. Miss Delores Hinchey has won for her toy idea:
Toy idea: a Wii!
What it can do: You can play Mario Kart on it!
How much should it be: A BILLION DOLLARS!
Why children will love it: BECAUSE IT IS EPICCCC!
What it is made out of: A TV AND WIRES! AND A ROCKBAND SET WOULD BE COOL!
"…"
He reopened the next letter:
Dear Earl Phantomhive,
We apologize for the inconvenience. The previously sent letter held the wrong information. We would appreciate it if you came to the company's main branch and contact us there for the real information.
"This is what I get for hiring idiots. And what in the world is a TV?" Ciel sighed to himself.
That's what today was supposed to be about. Sebastian Michealis, his "hell of a butler", had to cancel all plans today because of a retard's mistake. Why couldn't they just send him the real information? Because they were retards. You'd think that they'd be smart because adults like to be pompous and intelligent-like. But the smarter children know better. They have the clear eyes that can look right past a human's heart. Fortunately for him, Ciel was one of them.
Ciel felt a sudden halt and nearly fell over. He reminded himself to invent safety belts later on in life.
"Sebastian! Why did you stop?" Ciel yelled as he climbed out of the carriage and onto the road. "You'll make us late and make the people in carriages behind us angry!"
(A/N: Today, we have an early traffic report that is pissing the world over.)
He saw Sebastian in his coat as usual, glaring at two adolescents in front of the carriage.
One was a girl with shoulder length, and a bit shaggy blonde hair and startling electric blue eyes. She wore a dingy, light yellow dress and tan overall kind of dress over it, as if she were a yellow-tan maid without the money to get frills. She had a white (actually, more of a gray because of how dirty it was) ribbon with two ends sticking out in the air. She was small, but a little taller than Ciel himself. She would've looked cute if it weren't for the constant glare at Sebastian.
The other was similar, only he was a male. He had tangled, dirty blonde hair with some tied into a little ponytail on the back of his head. He wore a t-shirt (were those even in fashion?) that was a light yellow and short overall pants that were a light tan as well. He had a white cloth knotted around his neck as though he were a sailor and that looked dingy too. He looked nervous and confident at the same time which gave him a weird look of a small frown and pressed lips.
But why did he give a damn?
"Move it," Ciel ordered them.
Whoever Alicia had expected to come out of that gaudy carriage, it was not a little boy in black and blue. He had a hat with a little blue ribbon on it, a cape, and a cane. The weirdest thing was that over one of his blue eyes was an eye patch. Like he was a pirate.
She quickly regained her composure and continued to be threatening. She could feel that man named Sebastian saw her surprise, even if it were blind to her own brother. Maybe it was obvious because of the smirk on his face she desperately wanted to slap off.
Alex slowly walked over to her and cupped his hand around her ear, "Alicia, did you find an Alice?"
"I'm not sure. I just…it's like an Alice, but it isn't at the same time. Maybe he's an Alice that isn't the First," She tried to explain, but she didn't really want to with a man who looked like he had super hearing right in front of her.
The man blinked and Alicia finally noticed his eyes.
Red.
"Alex!" She pointed out his eyes with her own eyes.
He noticed and nodded.
"What should I do, Young Master?" He asked the little boy.
Alicia tried to stifle a laugh. Normally, it's the boy talking to the elder Master (except he wouldn't call him "Young Master"…)!
She finally found the sense to speak, "NAME!"
All three heads turned to her, "What?"
"What is your name?" She asked again.
"I am Ciel Phantomhive!" He declared. "And who may you be?"
"I am Alicia," She replied confidently.
"Alicia…?" Ciel waited for more.
"Just Alicia! God, why do people expect last names all the time?" She rolled her eyes.
He frowned. "Get out of the way."
"Nah, really, there's more sun when I'm out here," She replied, pulling out a rifle out of nowhere.
He didn't flinch. "Sebastian." Was all he said as though a butler could save his life.
Which he could.
"Please lower your gun," Sebastian asked nicely.
Ciel snorted.
And so did Alicia.
"So Ciel, have you seen any chick with red eyes?" Alicia spat on the ground.
"Chick?" Ciel must have had a picture of a chicken in his mind because he made a face that read, "Ew, red-eyed chickens would be demonic. And scary."
"A GIRL," She pronounced as though he were an idiot.
He blinked, "What reason would there be for you to look for a red-eyed girl?"
Alicia sighed.
"Because," she replied, irritated, "We kinda have to kill her."
And that is the first chapter folks!
Sorry, I kinda have to get the basics out of the way…
