Amelia's POV
I woke up where I usually did, in a dark alley all alone. I stretched and meowed silently. I looked at my white blouse, all dirty after being chased around until I fell and they caught me. They started hitting me and kicking me with their dirty boots and it hurt like I don't know what…
I looked around in the ally to make sure I really was alone. I was used to getting chased; people didn't seem to understand my cat ears and tail. Though I'm fast, just like cats! They almost never catch me but yesterday I stumbled and got caught.
I stood up and yawned. My tail was filthy and dirty but where should I clean it? I had no home, nothing but a dark alley to sleep in. It was a hard life but I could live with it, after all I've never tried anything else.
I started walking to the end of the alley, the sunlight shined in but it couldn't reach the part where I slept. I squinted my eyes and looked out into the street. Lots of people were talking and laughing and doing their daily business. I wasn't much of a people person after getting chased so often, I preferred to just stay in my alley or in the forest nearby.
I ran my hand through my filthy, blue pigtails in attempt to make them more flat. I was hungry, I didn't get food very often but when I did it would be either because some kind people would give me or I stole it from the baker down the street. I sneaked out into the street and looked around in hope to see just something eatable.
A big carriage drove by. I looked after it and secretly followed it down the street. A tall man with raven black hair and red eyes were the coachman. He was quite handsome if you're asking for my opinion…
I looked in the window in the carriage and saw a noble looking boy with blue-ish hair and a black top hat. He looked a little younger than me… Like one year maybe?
The boy was eating a piece of bread. I looked at him with jealousy and felt how my stomach growled for food. I started running a little faster and my blue pigtails flew around in the air. I was fast so I had no trouble keeping up with the carriage. The coachman turned his head and looked right at me. I stopped running and turned around. I was scared. What would he think of me being a… You know… Cat? I was curious to see what face expression was like so I started running again. The coachman had turned his head and was no longer looking in my direction. What a bummer…
I meowed a little just to get his attention. I figured he might just have some food for me…
He looked at me again. I could see that he was looking at my black cat ears and my filthy tail. I smiled a little, showing off my sharp corner teeth. I could see that the handsome coachman smiled a little too and a little pink were to be seen on his cheeks.
I felt kind of happy. The coachman had noticed me just like planned and he smiled at me! He didn't think I was some kind of weird animal or anything no! He smiled!
All of these happy thought were interrupted by my stomach growling again. I bit my lip and looked down. To my surprise the carriage stopped and the coachman stepped down.
"Are you hungry mi'lady?" He asked and looked at me with a friendly smile. Mi'lady? What was that all about?
The door to the carriage opened and the noble boy stepped out.
"Sebastian what are you doing stopping the carriage?" He said.
"Sorry master but I just saw this cute young girl and thought that she would be hungry…" Sebastian said. So his name was Sebastian?
"That is none of our business right now Sebastian we have orders from the queen!" The noble boy said in anger.
"Young master can't we take her with us and perhaps give her some food? She looks like she needs shelter." Sebastian's voice was nice… I liked listening to it.
"Is it because of her cat ears and tail?" The noble boy scoffed.
"That's a part of it." Sebastian smiled and looked at me. I blushed a little and looked away. My stomach growled and I really needed food so I kind of wished they would hurry up a little…
"Fine. She can sit with you!" The noble boy sighed and stepped into the carriage again. Sebastian reached his hand out. I think I was supposed to grab it but in the moment I was kind of confused.
"Come on. Don't be shy!" He said and smiled a friendly smile. I grabbed his hand. His white glove felt warm and his black tailcoat was all clean. I wasn't used to having clean clothes myself…
"There we go!" We stepped up into the front seat of the carriage and Sebastian took a piece of bread and gave it to me. It was nice and warm and I immediately started eating it.
"What is your name mi'lady?" Sebastian asked me. I didn't really like talking either… There was just something about my voice I didn't really like.
"Amelia…" I murmured and looked down at my tail.
"Amelia… Such a cute name for such a cute lady" Sebastian said and smiled. I blushed madly and started playing around with my tail.
We started driving down the street again. I felt like people looked at me but I didn't really care in the moment. I was curious to where we were going so I asked.
"Uhm where are you taking me?" I asked quietly.
"To the Phantomhive manor." He said in his deep soft voice. Phantomhive huh? I think I have heard that name in the newspaper once… The queen's guard dog or something…
I started getting a little tired. I didn't get much sleep this night because well… You can't really say my alley is the most comfortable… I started blinking my eyes and gave a cute little yawn. Sebastian looked at me and smiled. I blushed a little and looked down. I blinked again and fell asleep.
