Black Butler – A Dreams Never Far Away

Authors Note - Yes I've started a new story, but don't worry, I will continue on with my other ones, I just hope you like this one as much as my others.

Chapter 1

"What's your wish?" a bodiless voice sounded in the near pitch black room, only housing a small, weak looking slip of a girl, lying on the bed, looking round in wonderment.

"My wish?" the thin girl whispered, not wanting to wake anyone else in the house as well as not wanting the voice to go away.

"Yes, your wish. Everybody has a wish as to what they would like to do with their life. What is yours?" The voice grew louder.

The girl pondered this for a moment before questioning, "Why do you want to know my wish? I'm dying, my wish will never come true."

The room was silent for a while, and the girl listened carefully, scared the voice had dissapeared.

"I wish to know, because I can save you and grant your wish… For a price." The voice was closer to her head and looking to the side, there was a man in the shadows, almost unseen, but still there.

"What's the price? What can I give you that you can no possibly get by yourself?" The girl demanded softly before waiting patiently for a response. A reverberating chuckle sounded through the room, before an answer was given. "The price my dear girl, would be your soul. I would grant you your deepest wished, and also become your Butler to serve you… All in return for your soul."

Blue eye's widened at that, although a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

"Can I know what you look like? I do not get many visitors, and I wish to know the face of someone who might end up saving me." Cyan eye's sparkled as he obeyed the order and she recognised who the man was. The Black Butler.

"Ahh, I see you recognise me, young mistress. I was hoping you would. It's been some time since I last saw you, around 10 years I suppose." It was more of a statement than a question, but Amethyst nodded anyway.

"If I agreed to your deal, how would this work? How would you get my soul and when would you get it?" Amethyst questioned the Butler once again, trying and failing to sit up in her bed but was far too weak to do it herself. Strong hands lifted her to lean on raised pillowed and she blushed at his touch, quietly thinking that she was glad the lights were off.

"It would depend on your wish, and when your wish ends. Once, your wish is dealt with or maybe even before that, if you change your mind, then I will take your soul. This would cause you to die but it would look natural." The butler answered smoothly, sitting back in the conjured chair, folding his hand neatly in his lap.

Amethyst nodded before quietly thought up more questions. "Taking my Soul… Would it hurt? Or would I have to be dying for it to work?" More questions were fired his way, although it did not look like he minded one bit. In fact he looked as though he was enjoying himself.

"There are three ways I could do it. One would be to kiss you, and I could suck the soul out, painlessly. The second way is, if you were dying of blood loss or you had been in an accident, then I'd just have to suck some of your blood until your soul was gone. This would be quite painful, although I think you would already be in pain if it came to that. The last way, would be to bite into your neck, alive or deal, harmed or not and just suck your soul out. This would also be painful, but I am not sure which one would be worse."

The Butler explained everything patiently and Amethyst nodded before opening her mouth to ask another.

"Say, if I did agree to this contract, and next week I get into a nasty car accident, and you hadn't fulfilled my wish, what would happen? Would you take my soul or leave me to die?"

He smiled at her, glad she was asking all these questions. None of his previous Master or Mistresses had taken the time or effort to do this, and they paid for it in the long run.

"If I had not fulfilled your wish, I would simply save you, and let you heal, while making it look natural of course." He nodded his head to her and a small smile made its way onto her face.

"You said you would become my Butler, to serve me while you fulfill my wish. Why would you? You are already fulfilling a wish, why go to the trouble of also being their butler? That way, they get more out of it than you do. That is, unless souls are worth it?"

There was another chuckle from his lips, and this one lasted longer. Amethyst waited patiently, as she knew he would answer her, eventually.

"It is simple. By becoming your butler, I will be with you more and therefor able to fulfill your wish easier." He simply said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

They both sat there in silence for a while, as Amethyst though thing through.

"My wish, it can be slightly complicated, and could be counted as very long. Do you have to hear it before we sign the contract?"

Her speculative gaze met his, and a smile grew on his face.

"No matter how complicated or long your wish is, I would still make it come true. And yes, I would need to hear it, for the contract to become solid and for us to make and agreements or changes." He smiled softly at her and she tilted her head before giving one back.

"It is pretty long. And complicated. Do we have enough time? My dad could come in at any time… And you still haven't answered how we'd do this, as I am dying."

"I would simply cure you, while erasing the memories and facts except for ours that you were dying, merely letting them think you had the flu. And we are in a dream, your dream. It can last as long as you want and you can only wake up when you want to. You father cannot bother us here." The answer she got was calmly spoken and it released some of the nerves she had within her.

She nodded while thinking about how to start her wish.

"It helps if you start at the beginning." Quipped The Butler, getting a glare in return.

Authors Note – I hope people like this story as much as my other one. I came up with the idea… well it actually came to me in a dream. Amethyst is a representation of me, so I changed some of it slightly… I hope you all like. The next chapter going to be longer, probably.
