I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT FOR MY OWN THOUGHTS! This is a fan fiction with characters I made up here and there, so don't start asking "Well who's this and who's that?" if you don't recognize them from the anime that means they came from my train of thought, also I twisted bits and pieces of the story around because of my artistic opinion got the better of me, and I aged Ciel a few years but beside that enjoy,
Riley's POV:
I leaned against the wall and trace the edge of the cold glass of the window with my fingers. Breathing in the scent of warm tea and freshly washed sheets, I miss my home so much. What home? I think it's still being inspected, and then they are going to make a museum of it, I don't know why. It's not very large, I lose my train of thought as I hear the big wooden door being opened and closed. "How was your day?" I say with a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Terrible," replied a thick British accent. "I am completely over working with those horrible Americans!" he yells and I hear him smack the table with a loud thud. "I wish they would all just crawl back to whatever hole they came from!" he yells again, kicks the bed and yells in pain. I turn my head to see my partner in crime jump on one foot and hit the bed post in frustration. "Oh Ciel, you really don't mean that, that would bring them all here." I laughed turning back to the window as I stare across the courtyard of the Phantomhive Mansion. He crosses the room and leans with his back pressed to the window. "Ugh, that's right, damn!" I shake my head. "How could someone at age seventeen be so successful, more successful than most adults I may add, yet be so unhappy?" I ask. He shrugs and he looks at me with one of his blue eyes. The other one is covered with an eye patch, I'm the only one who knows why, and everyone else thinks that it was an injury in a fire many years ago. Really it is the mark of a demon, when you make a deal with a demon, he will mark you in some place depending on the deal, the more noticeable the mark, the closer the bond.
He tilts his head, his black hair falling over his face. "What's wrong?" I shake my head again and look at the ground. "Nothing," I turn to walk away and feel a long, slender arm pull my back towards his tall figure. "No something's wrong, I can tell." He says and I can feel his breath on my neck. "I miss my parent, that's all." He smiles down at me and kisses the inside of my neck. I'm startled by his action, "Riley that's nothing to be ashamed of, I miss my parents sometimes. But most time I don't think about it because I have you." Turn and hug him, my face in the crook his neck. I look up at his face, I remember when we were both much younger, and our families were alive. Ha, he was my best friend. I thought he had died in the fire that killed his parents. I thought I lost him, that's when I found my feelings towards him were very different from before. I became in sync with his breathing; we stood there for what felt like hours, me just feeling the rise and fall of his chest. I closed my eyes and just wished that I could forget what had happened over the last few days.
Ciels POV
"Riley, I need to ask you something," she looks up at me with a look of confusion. She is so beautiful, long brown hair and unnatural sea green eyes. She tilts her head a little, "What is it?" She responds, I sigh. "Never mind," she pulls away from me and walks to the other side of the room. I turn and look out the window and spot a horse and carriage. "Damn, Elizabeth is here." Riley turns and looks at me, "Who?" she asks. I feel a lump in my chest realizing that Riley has never met Elizabeth. "Um, her father wants us to marry as soon as she turns eighteen but I keep refusing." Riley walks over to the window and looks down at the pink dress and blonde hair that stumbles aimlessly out of the carriage. I look at Riley and admire her blue dress. Its strapless has a corset look for the top and a ruffled skirt that stops just below her knees. "That's a pretty dress." I say then I feel embarrassed, she tenses then relaxes a few seconds later. "Oh, thank you I guess." I smile then Riley laughs. I look to see what she is laughing at and see that Lizzie has seen me through the window. I cringe as I hear her high-pitched squealing. "Oh Ciel! Darling aren't you going to come down and greet me?" I flush red with embarrassment as Riley walks out of the room laughing so hard she can't breathe, "Oh shut up!" I yell as she closes the door.
When I finally muster the courage to face Elizabeth she is chatting away with Riley. They both laugh at something and I hear Elizabeth squeak "Oh my Ciel sounds so charming as a younger child." I flinch; I hear Riley's much calmer voice. "Yes he was, and believe it or not but the kid actually used to smile. I don't know what happened," I hear her say. I walk out to the entry way where they are standing. Elizabeth's bright green eyes widen and she runs over to me. "Oh Ciel darling!" she screams as I walk in. "Hello Lizzie," I say calmly, then Elizabeth tackles me to the ground, "Ugh, Lizzie! Get off me!" I yell, she is lying on top of me with her head on my chest and her arms around my waist. "But silly, I haven't seen my fiancé in so long!" I open my mouth to protest and she suddenly kisses me. I am surprised by it; she has never kissed me before.
"Lizzie," I say when she pulls back, "please, I'm asking nicely, get off of me." I feel a pang of guilt as her eyes fill with pain. "Oh, I'm sorry, how very unlady like." she says, Riley walks over to help her to her feet. "I, I should be going." I almost agree when Riley protests. "Oh no, you just got here! You should at least stay for dinner, right Ciel?" she says and looks down at me, I take a deep breath. "Okay, fine." Lizzie's expression lightens "Yay! Thank you!" she says then runs out of the room. Riley turns to me, "I'll tell Sebastian," I shake my head "He's on holiday with May Rin." She tilts her head then put a finger in her open mouth and makes a gagging sound. I start laughing. She laughs a little to, "I'm sorry," she says, "No you're not!" I shoot back and smile, she shakes her head. "Your right, I'm not."
Riley's POV
After Elizabeth leaves I'm left alone with Ciel for the night. I change into a black nightgown, with thin straps and it drops short just above my knees. It's too early to go to sleep, so I just walk around aimlessly around the house. I almost reach the servants hallway when a dark shadow startles me. I try to focus me eyes to see who it is and the first thing that stands out is blonde hair. I relax a bit. "Vinny, you scared me." I gasp; he jumps a little and looks at me. "Oh, I'm sorry lady Riley." He says and straitened. I laugh a little; Vinny is my long-lost brother. He disappeared when we were kids, thought I would never see him again, and then he showed up at the Phantomhive home a couple of years ago. "Vinny, you can just call me Riley, nobody's around." He looked down at the floor. "I guess it's a force of habit." I walk over to him and hug him, his blonde hair disheveled, I felt him shake uncontrollably. "Vin, I don't want you to treat me like I'm above you, I've missed you so much." I say, he wraps his arms around me, "And I've missed my big sister." I look at him, his sea green eyes glinting in the darkness. I meant it, I really did miss him. He stands a few inches taller than me, "I don't think you can call me your big sister anymore." I laugh.
After my conversation with Vinny I go back up to my room and look out the window. I hear the door creek a little and I jump turning towards the door. I see it open a crack and just a hint of pale skin. I smile, "Well, it seems I have a stalker." I hear loud sigh and Ciels head pops into my room. "How did you know?" he asks, I walk over to the bed. "You're not that sneaky Sherlock Holmes." He smiles a little. "I just wanted to see if you were still awake, it's getting late." He says as he walks in and sits on the bed next to me. "Hmm, I try to not fall asleep." I say and his head tilts to the side. "Why?" I look at the blankets and I run my hand over them to feel their softness. A few days before I found my way to the Phantomhive Manor I was held captive and was tortured by a psychopath, he killed my parents and someone I thought was Vinny.
"Because I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, I'll wake up back in that terrible room with that terrible man." I said and looked at the floor. Ciel held my face in one hand, using it to tilt my head up and make me look at him. He had a look of seriousness and defensiveness. "Riley, I promise, I won't let anybody hurt you." I thought for a second, Ciel, the arrogant boy that I grew up with is being different, sweet even. I huffed loudly through my nose. "Why? When did you suddenly care about anyone?" I spat at him, hoping to get a reaction. His face suddenly filled with anger then he was calm again, I smirked a little, then he leaned down and kissed me. I'm surprised but I enjoy it leaning up to him. He slowly pulled back, eyes closed. "I'm sorry, I had to at least do that once." I grabbed his face in my hands and kissed him hard, catching him by surprise. He opens his eyes quickly to see me and puts his arms around my waist. I tangle my fingers in his jet black hair and lean my head into the crook of his neck. He frees one hand and strokes my hair; I slump and rest my head on his chest, and fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
Ciels POV
I sit there with Riley in my arms. She looks calm, elegant even, sitting there sound asleep. I kiss the top of her head and pull her so that she is lying under the covers of her bed; I turn and start to walk to my own room. "Ciel, please, stay" I turn and look at her and she is unusually pale, I smile and nod. "Of course," I lay right next to her and hold her in my arms. She leans against my chest with her arms around my neck; I smile because she looks like a child.
I don't remember falling asleep but I remember jolting awake to a strangled scream. It took me a second to adjust to how dark it was. I look around and see Riley rocking back and forth a little bit with her head in her hands. I lean over and wrap my arms around her waist, when I first touched her she flinched and I could feel her shake. "Riley, it's okay, it was just a dream." She looked at me with tears running down her face. "No, it wasn't just a dream, it was real." I looked at her and sighed; Vinny said she had been having nightmares about the nights she was tortured, I didn't know they were this bad. "It's fine, you're safe now." she looked at me and I held her in my arms, "Ciel leave me alone," I just sat there and stared at a wall, she said it again and I shook my head.
"No, I'm not letting go yet." She huffed loudly and started pushing me away and when I grabbed her again she smacked me. I looked at her with shock and confusion, "You want to play this game then fine! But I'm bigger, I'm stronger and I'm hell of a lot meaner than you." She stood up, walked halfway across the room, turned and jutted her chin out tauntingly at me. "Okay prove it," she said arms spread and smirking, "unless of course your scared." She laughed and I knew the tension had passed. I shrugged and walked over to her, "Okay, but don't whine when you get beat." I said and she involuntarily backed into a wall.
I closed the space between us, she tried to shove me but I grabbed her wrists and held them over her head with one hand. She squirmed, "Hey, let go, not fair!" I smirked and leaned against the wall with my other arm, "Nope, I don't really feel like it." She rolled her eyes at me, "Fine you win." I smiled, she and I have gotten in arguments before and this is how they always end. "Not just yet." She looked confused and I leaned down and kissed her.
She tried to wrench her wrists from over her head but I had a tight grip on them. She tried to fight against me but it wasn't working. I was right when I said I was stronger than her, in two ways, I am physically stronger and stronger willed. I pulled away from her face, "There, now I win." I said and let go of her. She smiled and walked over to her bed to lie back down. I laid next to her and fall back asleep.
Hello! So sorry to say that this is the end of chapter 1, but I promise, I will try to make more. I'm kinnda writing myself into a corner but I'm sure I can come up with something. Until next time.
