Hey people! So...I don't know how often I'll be working on this. Hopefully everyday, but we'll see. Please enjoy this little fanfic I'm writing about Black Butler. So-o-o-o, yeah! DISCLAIMER: I don't own the characters, just the plot.
Overall, it was a nice day outside. I thought about the little things in life and appreciated them while I was at it. My name's Ciel Phantomhive. I'm a girl and my family migrated to America after my ancestor died. I was named after that ancestor. He was also Ciel Phantomhive and since I look very, very similar to him, I was also named that. My hair hadn't grown past this short, boy-ish looking length, but I didn't care.
My mother had abandoned me when I was a baby, taking my father along with her. She was a...well...let's call her a drug addict. She had kind of spoiled the Phantomhive name by getting into Heroin and dragging my father into it as well. I still loved them, though...no matter how much of a waste of time they thought I was.
Being the only person in my school with a British accent, I didn't have many friends. Except for Alois Trancy. Alois was also named after her male ancestor, but didn't really like that. Her ancestor and my ancestor were in a life-long quarrel. This quarrel was so big that even their butlers would get into it. What a shame.
"CIEL! TIME TO GET TO THAT PIECE OF SHIT SCHOOL!" Alois screamed at the top of her lungs and then laughed softly. I smiled a bit.
"I'm coming!"
I pulled on my black converse and got my worn-out book bag. I now lived with my GodMother, Sheran. She wasn't the nicest person in the world, but she wasn't the most cruel. I was on good terms with her and, as long as we stayed out of each other's way, we would be fine. Alois also lived with me. She had lost her parents to a drunk driver, poor girl. She adored her parents.
I rushed down the stairs and yelled at Sheran my goodbyes. "JUST DON'T GET INTO JAIL!" Sheran yelled back and I giggled a little.
Alois, Sheran, and I lived in a bi-i-i-ig house with a dog and two cats. Our house was honestly too big for us. We would've done fine with a little villa, but no-o-o, Sheran had to have space. Alois and I walked out the front gates to our...mansion, I should say, and waited for our cab driver.
"Did you hear that Sheran hired us two new cab drivers?" Alois said, smiling a little.
"Why two?"
She shrugged. "I dunno...but Sheran said they were cute."
I looked over at Alois who was jumping a little with excitement. Holding her shoulders down, I said, "Don't be so excited...they're just drivers."
"Don't be so gloomy. You needa brighten up a little." Alois said happily.
"I am bright! I just don't like half of the fake-ass bitches in this world. Excuse moi for having self-pride."
Just then, the cab pulled up and we climbed in. I shuffled through the previous night's homework and came across some Algebra that I didn't finish. Shit. I looked up and found that we were already parked in the school's lot, but we were a good twenty minutes early. Alois shifted uncomfortably in her seat and took occasional glances at the driver in the passenger seat. I guess Sheran wasn't kidding when she said they were cute. They were both tall and lean with pale skin and raven-colored hair. Quite handsome.
"Hello ladies." The driver in the passenger seat said politely.
"H-Hi." I said and then silently cussed myself for being so shy.
"My name is Sebastian Michaelis and this is Claude Faustus. We will not only be your cab drivers, but also your protectors. Madam Sheran is quite worried about you young ones running the streets alone." The driver said.
Sebastian looked at me through the mirror and I stiffened. His eyes weren't normal. They were burgundy red. Strange. And, well this was good I think, he had a British accent like Alois and I. Claude hadn't said much though, just stared out the window the whole time. Suddenly, I got a very sharp pain in my stomach and I keeled over. This had always happened since I was mobbed by a group of cheerleaders who kicked me multiple times in the stomach. Wonderful.
"Ciel? Is it that again?" Alois asked calmly, rubbing my back.
I nodded and gritted my teeth. I looked up and saw that Claude had actually turned to Sebastian and they were having a silent agreement. "How would you two like a day from school?" Claude's voice was deep and masculine like Sebastian's, but had a certain ring to it.
"Really? That would be amazing!" Alois said in her normal excited tone.
The car started and I laid down on the seat. The pain was lasting longer than normally, but I was distracted when my right eye started burning. I hissed in a breath and held my eye. I didn't know what was happening and I sure as hell wasn't going to admit to the pain. Eventually, I passed out because the pain was so unbearable. I woke up and saw Sebastian leaning over me. I was laying in my bed, but my eye felt better. I realized I had completely lost vision in that eye and freaked out momentarily.
"Calm down, Ciel. Here, put this on." Sebastian held out a black eyepatch and I took it slowly. What the hell?! I wasn't going to wear a eyepatch!
I got up and ran to my bathroom. I lifted up my band and looked at my eye. It had changed purple and had some sort of pentagram in it. I didn't believe in demons or Hell, though. So...why would I have that on my eye? This didn't make any sense. I prayed that I was dreaming. Heh. Me...praying...HA! Yeah...praying to a God that I didn't believe in.
"Shocked, yes?" Sebastian asked.
"Uh...what is this?" I asked. "Well...it's your...mark." Sebastian replied.
I turned to him in shock. He took the eyepatch out of my hand and tied it around my head. He smirked, looking intently at me. "You look even more like your ancestor now." He remarked.
"How'd you know what Ciel looked like?"
"Let's just say I have my references and experiences. So...are you feeling up to a day of fun?" Sebastian said with a closed-eye smile.
"No. I'm going to bed." I said, turning on my heels just to be caught by the shoulders by Sebastian.
"Now, now, young one. Don't be so gloomy. Brighten up." There's no way he would've known that Alois had said that earlier. Was it coincidence? Fate? I didn't know. I just knew that Sebastian was an extraordinary cab driver and I wasn't going to lose him so easily.
I smiled a little and looked up at him. "Okay." I would go along with him for now and see what else he had to offer. Maybe he might tell me some information that I would find useful in the future.
