A Kuroshitsuji Fanfiction
Chapter 1: Where it all began
It was evening and you were sitting in a blind alley next to many cartons to cover yourself from the outside world with a brown ripped cloak around you that also covered your face. You were thinking of ways to get something to eat, it was really easy to steal, but you had to make sure no one noticed or else it would create a scene.
You also tried not to use your strength too much either, no man has ever won against you. You were just too smart, your reflexes and aims were beyond perfect and you could hardly feel pain.
While you were planning on how to get yourself some food, a loud growl from your stomach broke your thought.
"Geez…I haven't eaten in 2 days, I hate to beg…" you took a stand and walk out of the alley and put on your hood trying to look for a prey, you saw a tall man dressed in black, you look around to see if anyone was nearby. Luckily, not many people were.
"Target locked" you say before you run into the man dressed in black on purpose and steel his purse from his dark coat.
"Haha, that was too ea-" you look at your hands and find them empty
"Looking for this" the man in black behind you waves the purse in mid air smiling as if he had won in some kind of game.
"How did you?" you look at your empty hands baffled, you were sure you had it in your hands minutes ago.
He leaned closer and peered through your [e/c] orbs as if he was searching for your soul,
"What are you-", he interrupts before you could complete your sentence "My, what lovely eyes you have" he says like he was finding an excuse for looking you right in the eyes.
Your cheeks flushed in red and your body was crippled for a second.
"Enough of these games" you take out a dagger from your pocket and charge at him in the open area without even a second thought, after all, you were embarrassed for losing to someone
He avoids the blade without even a worry and throws his hand on your neck, surprisingly you escape his attack and flip in the air landing on your feet just a few meters away from your prey
Sebastian's eyes widens in confusion.
"Che, why you…!" after noticing people starting to stare, you stood up straight and turned your back on the dark clothed man.
"Pathetic" was the last thing you said before you walked away.
'Astounding, she managed to avoid my attack. One of a kind isn't she? Her soul gives out a rather familiar aura... almost resembling to a demon... but there's no doubting she's human.' Sebastian thought as he starts walking to the direction where his master is
Ciel comes out of the Funtom store after checking how the sales were going and then orders his butler to head back to the manor.
"Young master, do forgive me for bothering, but there's something I'd like to discuss with you." The butler asks his master
"What is it?"
"I ran into a maiden moments ago and I must say, she has caught my interest. She charged at me and had successfully avoided my attack"
"And you're telling me this because?"
"She would prove to be an excellent servant in the household wouldn't she?" The butler answers the noble.
"Sebastian, I'm the one who makes the decisions, I am in need of no more servants, there already are 4 idiots in the manor and I'm sure I don't need another, is that clear?" the noble said as he entered the carriage
"Yes, my lord"
"I can't believe this! I actually lost to that… that… stupid pretty-faced git!" you yell punching the wall really hard, you start to bleed. After realizing that you were wounded, you rest your back on the same wall and slide down, "he was fast, really fast... luck sure did its thing..." sitting down, you stare at the starry sky that made you wonder something you always wanted to forget
"I guess it was the same starry sky as this that day" you hide your face in your knees as your mind overflowed with painful memories
~Flashback~
"Mommy, Daddy! Look what I made!" I ran to my parents with a flower crown in a field filled with all kinds of colorful flowers,
my father picked me up and I placed the flower crown on my mother's head, she kissed my forehead and took me from my father's hands, everyone was enjoying, looking after one other
Until one day… my mother got really sick…
We didn't have enough money to pay for her medicines and my fathers company broke… My father became an alcoholic and always used to beat my mother up if she even made a small mistake
"Mommy… why is daddy so mean? Why does he always hurt you?" I asked her while she was lying on the floor after getting beaten up
She grabbed my shoulders and looked at me right in the eye
"It's all because of you…You're the reason all this is happening!"
She dragged me and threw me into my room where I cried for hours. Every day used to be the same, my father would come home drunk and torment my mother and my mother would blame me for it and would scratch me with her long nails until I'd bleed.
I'd sit in the dark room in a corner, rocking back and forth with my mind filled with horrific pictures. Scratching the wall with my fingers, counting the bruises on my body, talking to the walls...
One day, I sneaked out of my room and heard my parents talking, I didn't want to eavesdrop, but the situations were so critical, I had to
"She's costing us a lot…should we sell her off?"
"You're right, I'll talk to a slave trader tomorrow and see how much he pays for her…"
My ears couldn't believe what they just heard…I teared up and started sobbing, my father had heard my sobs and opened the door to reveal me crying
"[y/n]… were you eavesdropping…?"
By the looks of his face, he looked like he was about to land a hand on my face… and he did…
He threw me onto the wall and grabbed me by the neck "you disgust me", he dropped me and barged out of the house.
My mom looked at me in disgust and walked away.
The next day I was sent to somewhere I had no clue about… they branded me and then tortured every next minute… the pain was unbearable, so painful, so agonising... that I finally learnt to bear it. I was thrown into a cage whenever I was done with where many other children were. I could tell I was the eldest one around by looking at others…
After all the days of agony, they finally took me out of that cage and rested me on a table… He then continued and was about to stab me, that was when I knew that this had to end now. Before he could plunge the blade in to my chest I grabbed it with my bare hands, blood dripped as I clutched tighter without feeling any pain and struck him in the guts.
I shot up and ran with the dagger as my only weapon, eliminating all those in my way, almost half way through freedom, I rose my hand towards the gate, just a bit further, but then I got stabbed from the back, I looked down and saw my white dress soke my blood. I fell to my knees and was dragged back to the place I was tormented
"I... will... not end here!" I cut off the man's hand and saw him fall to the ground howling in pain.
I was about to run but then I saw a little boy on the table with big blue crystal like eyes who was about to suffer the same fate I was, his eyes were the most elegant I had ever seen...I was about to save him but my body ceased and turned to the direction of the gates that held my freedom. I ran over the stairs and finally, the outside world. The fresh air scented with the smell of grass, sending shivers down my back. I ran until my legs couldn't anymore, I fell down on the grassy field and was sure I was away from that hell… I looked up at the starry sky and closed my eyes.
After that, I was homeless… My mother was killed by my father and he was sent to jail. And here I am now on the streets, surviving.
~end of Flashback~
You stare at your bloody hand and close your eyes,
"I will keep walking... even if there are no more steps to take... I will not give in." was the last thing you said before falling to slumber.
