Where's My Wonderland?
Chapter The First; Red Coats and Paperwork
It was a unseasonably cold November morning for Jada West, and her mother forced her to wear jackets on cold days. She was forced to pull out an old coat from the back of her mother's closet. It was a faded red coat, with black seams and some small tears. It would have looked good if it was taken care of, and of course the fact that it was three sizes too big on Jada's small frame didn't help at all, as far as looks.
But is was a warm coat, so her mother was satisfied.
"That's good, dearie. Now off with you! You're going to be late for school!"
"Yes, momma." Jada sighed and made her way out the door, backpack slung over her shoulder, and that annoying coat flapping about her ankles.
To say that Jada was a pretty girl would be inaccurate. Her face was rather plain, and her nose was a bit too small. She had cut her curly, wild hair so that is bounced just above her shoulders and moved with the wind. But she was blessed with rather nice sized breasts, and she was happy with the way she looked.
Besides, she'd always been told her beauty was her brains.
Jada was a smart, but fanciful girl. A dreamer, a girl who was bright and cheerful, always searching for her Prince Charming.
But at the young age of thirteen, she hadn't excepted to find him for awhile yet.
She walked one short block to the bus, which she would take to school every morning. The bus ride was unpleasant, since she did not have anyone to sit with.
Few people could be friends with such a bright ball of energy. Jada demanded to be heard and she was always speaking without really saying anything.
Then Jada had met her friend Maria, and together they started exploring the wonderful world of anime. They soon discovered Kuroshitsuji, or Black Butler, and were hooked.
Jada obsessed over the show, completely in love with both Ciel and Alois. Maria fancied Sebastian and Claude, so it worked out rather nicely. Jada was an artist, and was always drawing or doodling her Kittens. Maria couldn't draw, but she wrote many, many fanfictions that were slowly gaining popularity.
When Jada arrived at school, Maria was usually waiting for her at the front door.
Today she wasn't there.
Jada, though, was not one to worry, so she shrugged and decided to text her friend at lunch. Pushing through the crowds of grumpy teenagers, Jada made her way towards her homeroom.
"Oh my God!"
Screams rerouted in the hallways, and students scrambled out of the way.
"Girl! Watch out! HEY! MOVE!"
Jada turned around with a flash of red, and was knocked violently onto the lockers. She didn't even have time to scream, and just like that, everything was black.
Ciel did not know why he had to go into the gardens after breakfast. He would probably never know, but something was just pulling him towards the flowerbeds and cobblestone paths.
Sebastian was as busy with the morning chores, and Ciel was alone when he stumbled, literally, upon a girl by the rose bushes. She was naked, by Victorian standards, with a tight, short sleeved tee shirt that said 'I Don't Care' across her rather ample bosom, and tan shorts that ended mid-thigh.
At first, Ciel blushed, and as any respectable man should, took off his coat and covered her. He couldn't see the girl's face, it was covered by tangled curls, leaves, and fallen rose petals.
"Sebastian!" Ciel screamed, after trying, (and failing) to pick the girl up on his own.
"What is it, boccha-" Sebastian stopped mid-sentence, and for the first time Ciel saw him genuinely shocked.
"Oh." Without wasting any time, he plucked the girl from the rose bushes, trying to not scratch her on the sharp thorns.
"What would you have me do with her?" Sebastian asked once she was out of the bush.
Ciel nodded towards the house. "This is a rather unpleasant surprise. Prepare the guest room, and put her to bed. Inform me when she wakes."
"Yes, my Lord." Sebastian hurried off to collect the sheets from the washing line.
Ciel followed closely behind, his curiosity overcoming his annoyance.
'I wonder who she is.'
He got his first glimpse of her face after his butler had set her down on a sofa. The coat he had covered her with was falling off, and Ciel observed the scratches all over her face, arms, and shoulders.
She wasn't beautiful, but she wasn't ugly, either, he decided. But she was a disturbance in his schedule. Thanks to her, he might not have to take his dancing lessons.
After Sebastian put her up in the guest bed, he asked Ciel if he would return to his daily schedule. He compiled, but his butler could tell he was distracted, especially during violin lessons. His playing was more rough than it usually was.
Jada woke to a screeching sound. Her sleepy mind just wanted to make it stop.
She hopped out of the bed and stumbled down the hallway, not really aware of her surroundings, just that awful noise. She burst into the offending room, yelling,
"Stop that! I could hear that all the way from my...room..." Jada blinked twice, the once more.
Then she screamed.
"Oh my gods! I've been kidnapped by cosplayers!" Jada was still in her tee shirt and shorts, so Ciel and Sebastian where politely adverting their eyes.
"What the hell is a cosplayer?" Ciel asked angrily. This girl slams his door open during a very important lesson and asks strange questions practically naked. Who was she?
"Excuse me miss, what is your name?" Sebastian gently asked, throwing in a charming smile for good measure.
The girl was unfazed. "Jada...Jada West."
"A lovely name, yet very strange. I can tell by your accent that you are from America?" He stepped closer, throwing his tailcoat over her shoulders.
"Yes. And I can tell by yours that you are not."
Sebastian wanted to laugh, oh, the irony in that statement. Jada studied him for a moment, then looked down at his tailcoat. The tails were dragging on the ground, he was much taller than her. And that's when she noticed it.
"Hey," Jada fought back a smile, "This looks like Sebastian's tailcoat."
She looked up to see to surprised faces, then everything suddenly clicked.
"Sebastian Michealis? Ciel Earl Phantomhive?" She breathed, not really beliving her own eyes.
"How did you know that?!" Ciel was getting more frustrated and intrigued by the second. How did this girl, this seemingly common American girl, know who he was?
"Holy shit." A string of profanity rose from her mouth as she inched away from them. Ciel gasped, a lady should not be saying words like that, then again, she was no lady.
"This totally isn't real. No no no. Well, if it's a dream, it's a good one, eh? Might as well enjoy it." Jada shrugged, then turned back to Ciel and his butler.
"I'm terribly sorry, let me do this again. I'm Jada West, thank you for taking care of me." She curtised, "And please tell me where you found me? I know I didn't just materialize in your bed."
"In the garden, my lady. The red rose bushes." Sebastian replied.
"Well that explains all the marks." Jada sighed as she examined her arms, then lifted the tailcoat to look at her legs.
Ciel quickly turned around, his face red.
"Miss Jada, I've called our maid, Meyrin. She will assist you for today. There are some dresses in the guest room, they look just about your size. We can't have you running about naked, can we?" Sebastian said with his all knowing smile.
Jada nodded, because if she started talking she might not stop. You see, Jada hated Sebastian with a passion. Sure, he was cute and all, but he was a demon. That itself wasn't too good, but he was a demon who was going to eat Ciel's soul. That made her hate him to the point where if she could kill him, she would.
"I don't like you." She told him, then stomped off to find Meyrin.
Ciel blinked at her abrupt manner.
"Sebastian," He grinned cheekily, "It seems you have lost your touch when it comes to women."
"I do not know what I did to offend her." Sebastian was puzzled. Usually human females adored him, or at least liked him. He had chose this form for a reason, and seduction could be very useful to his master if the need arose.
"I does not matter." Ciel waved him off with a smirk, but then called to him, "I want something sweet!"
Sebastian turned around, "But bocchan, we have a dinner guest this evening, it would be rude to not dine with him."
"I do not care."
Sebastian simply bowed, and his unwavering smirk grew a bit larger. "Very well, I will prepare a snack for you. I will bring it up to your study, I placed some important paperwork there this morning. It needs to be completed by next week."
Ciel sighed. The never ending duty of paperwork. "Next week? Can't it wait? A girl just appeared on my lawn."
Sebastian said nothing, but his lack of response told his master everything.
"Fine." He stomped off towards the towering shadow of the manor. "But you better bring me a cake!" He threw over his shoulder, along with, "That's an order!"
Sebastian chuckled, mildly amused. His bocchan acted so grown up, sometimes it was hard to tell he was not an adult in disguise. Then there were other times, like these, where is was hard not to see it.
The demon just hoped this Jada West didn't distract his master too much.
A/N: Okay, I know I'm behind on so many stories but I really needed to write this! :3 Some thing may be confusing, and you may be thinking something like, ' Why the heck did the authoress put this in here? What does this have to do with anything?!'
Don't worry, all of the seemingly random stuff actually has a point. Please just be patient. It will all make sense in later chapters. :)
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Where's My Wonderland! :D I worked really hard, and this is jus a preview of what's to come!
Reviews are gold and they make me really happy! Please leave one on your way out.
With love,
