I've woken up by a scream, after a couple a minutes I remembered what happened yesterday. W-where am I, and why am I in a different place? I thought as I got up. I realized that I was in a nightgown instead of the dress I was wearing yesterday. I got off the bed, and I walk to the door. I need to find out where I am, I thought, and why I'm in a room for people that are rich. I opened the door, and walk around.
It took me a while to find someone, but I stopped when I heard voices. "Wait! Don't be rash!" A mans voice yelled. "When did he get a knife?" A woman voice ask as I wondered what's going on.
"You do not have to die." I recognize that voice, I thought as I slowly walk to the door way. I-it's from that man that got me out of the chair, and, probably, saved my life from the killer. "If you stabbed yourself and bled everywhere, it would be an even larger job to clean up." The man said as I arrived at the door. A girl was kneeling at the man that risk his life for the young boy. "Sebastian, how kind you are." The woman replied. Sebastian, I thought, so that's his name. I knew that he had a name, but I didn't know what his name was.
"Ah! She's awake!" I looked where the voice was coming from. There were three people; a cook, a young boy that looked like a farmer, and a maid. "What woke up?" I looked at young boy from yesterday. I tried my best to say that it was a scream that woke me up. They didn't understand me for a few moments, but once they understand, they start to stare at the woman that was kneeling in front of Sebastian. "I-I'm so sorry that I woke up." I nod of what she said as I forgave her. Thankfully I didn't have a dream when that happened, I thought as I smiled.
"At any rate," Sebastian said as he picked up the holder of the tea pot while looking at the woman that was kneeling in front of him. "to be bringing this farcical tea to the young master..." Sebastian stated as he started to walk towards the table. "Take note: the amount of tea leaves you put in should be relative to the number of people, with one extra for the pot." Sebastian said as he put a powder in the tea pot, after that he poured hot water in the tea pot. "One pin of boiling water for every two portion is probably the best amount." Sebastian said as the cooker, the farmer and the maid took notes. I looked at the woman, and notice that she was blushing while looking at Sebastian. Sebastian served the tea to the young boy.
"So what's your name?" The young boy ask. I tried my best telling them that I need paper, and a latencies'. They gave them to me, and then I wrote my name. "Alexandra...Sebastian get Alex dressed." The young boy said as Sebastian looked at the young boy. "But young master, it is almost time." Sebastian replied as he was looking at his clock. "Fine, do what you must, then dress Alex." The young boy said as he was drinking his tea. "Yes master." He stated, and then he turned around to look at the cooker, the maid, and the farmer.
"Well then, everyone, I shall leave the clean-up to you. Greil get Alex dressed." Sebastian as everyone nod at him.
"Yes, Alex, follow me." She said as she got up, and walk away. I followed her. We arrived at the room that I was sleeping in. "Sorry the only dress we have is this one." She said as she pulled out a dress. The dress was dark red, and blue lining. It had black rose on it. I nodded at the dress as I smiled. The dress looked good, but it was for a wealthy person, not for me. "Do you know how to put on a dress miss?" She ask as she was looking at me. I shocked my head to a no; the killer always puts the dress for me. He never gave me independence for my self even though I was already turning to a woman. He always thought that I was a child to him. "Oh ok, then let me put it on for you then." She replied as she took off my nightgown and put on the dress. After she finished she left the room. I walked out the room and walked around the house that I was in. I stopped at a window; I looked out the window; there was a carriage waiting outside.
"Alexandra?" I looked where the voice is coming from; it was Sebastian. "Master wants to shop. Can you come along with us?" Sebastian ask as he bowed at me I nod as he stand up. "Then follow me, Alex." He said as he grab my hand and led me outside. I breathe in the scent of flowers. We went in the carriage, after I looked out to see outside of the house. My eyes widen. W-wow, I thought, I-I was right he is rich. We left to the market place. I never knew what a market place is or was in that matter. Moments later, we arrived at a market place. We got out of the carriage and we walk to a store.
"Alex, wait here." Sebastian said as he walk in with the young boy. I sat at the chair next to the door; as I was waiting for them people started to look at me. I looked down. Moments later they came out with a cane. They left and I followed them. "Finny's insane strength really is tiresome. Is a cane really something you can just bend by accident? Thanks to that, my growth will be affected." The young boy said. I was confused of what he meant by what he said. I mean a cane wouldn't effect your growth. "It's not as if you have grown, so it was merely an inconvenience. On top of that, we have had to add another troublesome servant to out ranks today." Sebastian replied as we went inside another store.
"Yes, may I help you?" The elder ask as I looked around. There were a lot of fancy dresses for the wealthy not for me though, since I didn't have any money or any right to wear them. "We're short on dresses for the young lady can you help us." Sebastian replied as he was looking at me. "Ah yes come this way." We followed him. We tried a lot of dresses, and yet we bought almost all the dresses. Almost thought that we're going to buy the store. Moments later, they bought me so many dresses I felt like I didn't need all of them. We left the store as Sebastian was holding the bags.
"We should return home at once." Sebastian said as we walk back to the carriage. I look down knowing that I was bothering them everyday. "Alex." I looked at where the voice came from. "Don't fret about what happened, ok?" I nodded of what he said. I slowly close my eyes hearing the movements around me. I felt warmth on left side; I opened my eyes n saw that Sebastian was getting close to me. "You might get a cold." He said as he pulled me closer to him. I blushed as I nod. Moments later, we arrived at the house. We got off the carriage; Sebastian had helped me get off the carriage. Sebastian walk to the door.
"I'm sure you must be tired, Young Master." Sebastian said as he walk to the door. "I shall prepare some tea immediately." Sebastian said as he opened the door. The young boy started to walk, but stop.
The young boy's face change; I looked inside, and it was like a party for girls. "My mansion is..." The young boy said "What on earth is this?" Sebastian said I walked we walked in. Moments later, the farmer, the maid, and the cook ran to Sebastian while wearing 'cute' stuff. Well cute stuff for a young child for girls. "Just what is going on here? More importantly, what on earth are you wearing?" Sebastian ask as they cling on to him. "Ask that crazy girl!" The cooker said as he was point the door; I looked at the door and walk towards the door. I felt Sebastian, and the young boy following me.
Once I arrived at the room there was the woman from earlier hanging from the ceiling. The women had 2 orange bows; one on her head, and another on her bow-tie. "What the hell are you doing?" The young boy said as he walked towards the woman. "As you can see, I am dying." She said as she swigged on the rope that she was hanging on. "Take him down, Sebastian." My eyes widen as the young boy said. A-a man? I thought, how can he be a man if he looks like a woman. "Understood" Sebastian replied as he walk to the woman, no the man.
As he walked to the man a young girl ran to the young boy. "Ciel!" The young girl said as she hugged the young boy. So, I thought, the young boy's name is Ciel. "Ciel! I missed you." She said as she continue to hug Ciel. "Elizabeth!" The Ciel said as if he was shocked. "Ah! I'm always telling you to call me Lizzy, aren't I?" The young girl said as she was happy. She continue hugged Ciel. "You really are just the cutest thing ever, aren't you?" The young girl said as she jumped alittle. "Lady Elizabeth." Sebastian said as the young girl stopped hugging Ciel and looked at Sebastian while he was holding the man. "Oh my, Sebastian. Good day." She said as she curtsey at Sebastian. After she curtsey at Sebastian; she looked at me.
"Who are you?" She ask as she walked to me. I couldn't say anything I tried my best to tell her I can't talk like everyone else does. She didn't understand what I was trying to say to her. "Her name is Alexandra; she can't talk." Sebastian said as he walk to my side. The young girl nodded. "Well it's nice to meet you Alexandra." Lizzy said as she smiled.
Then she looked at the man that Sebastian was holding. "Did you take him down?" They young girl ask as she looked at the man. "Yes. It ruined the aesthetics." Sebastian replied as he smiled at the young girl. I was confused of what Sebastian said. What's aesthetics? I thought. "Eh, really? Even though I decorated him so nicely?" The young girl replied as I make sure the man didn't touch me. "Decorated him?" Sebastian replied as I start to walk away from the room and to the room that I was sleeping in.
I walk to the bed and hugged the pillow. That's right, I thought, my teddy bear is left back at the killers house. I sighed as I put the pillow back where it was. Maybe I can find a library in this house, I thought as I walk out the room and walk around the house. I arrived back at the entrance of the house.
The young girl was wearing a red dress; the man was white dress and was ready to jump out the window. "The clothes I brought with me today are ones I instantly fell in love with while shopping in London." The young girl said as the maid fixed her dress. "All right! It's you turn, now" The young girl said as she was looking at me. Wait, I thought, but I'm not a noble person, I shook my head to a no. "I'll make you even cuter." The young girl said as she walked to me. I tried my best to tell her that she can't, but it didn't work in prevail.
"Leave it at that." Ciel said as he was looking at the young girl. I sighed in relief. "Ciel!" The young girl yelled as she walked away from me. "You really are cute!" I looked at Ciel as she said that. He was wearing a blue suit with a blue hat. The young girl ran up to Ciel and hugged him. "I really have an eye for this kind of thing." The young girl said as she trilled around with Ciel.
I noticed that Sebastian was looking at me with a different look in his eye; like as if he was admire at something.
The young girl stop trilling around and looked at his hand at had a blue ring. The young girl glared at Ciel. "Ciel! What about the ring I prepared for you? There was a cute one that matched you clothes, wasn't there?" The young girl said as she continue to glare at Ciel. I shivered in fear. "This ring is fine." Ciel said as he took his hand back. "No way!" The young girl yelled as I stared at them. I giggled at the youth. "After I wet to all the trouble of making everything so cute, to have you ring be the only thing that's not cute…" The young girl said as she cried. She fell to the ground as Ciel sighed. "Are you saying you don't want the one I got for you? How horrible!" The young girl cried out "It's not that. This ring is..." Ciel said as the young girl stop crying. "Just kidding!" The young girl yelled as hugged Ciel, then she grabbed Ciel's left hand and took his ring.
"I got it!" The young girl yelled in happiness as she hold out the blue ring. "Lizzy!" Ciel yelled at the young girl, but she ignore him. Lizzy, I thought, is that the girl's name? "It really is way too big for you!" Lizzy said as she looked thought the ring hole. "The one I got is just the right size for you, and-" Ciel cut her off "Give it back!" Ciel yelled at her as everyone was shocked of what Ciel said. I looked at his face; it was stern like as if he was mad at her. He held out is left hand out to her. "Give that back right now, Elizabeth." Ciel said in a harsh tone. "Why are you getting so angry? I went out of my way, and..." Lizzy said as I felt her fear. I look at Ciel, and he was glaring that Lizzy. Why glare at her, I thought, if all she did is took your ring. Lizzy to a step back away from Ciel. "What is it?" Lizzy ask in fear. "I was just trying to make everything cute. So, why are you getting so angry? I hate this ring!" Lizzy said as she threw the ring to the ground. Ciel's face was in shocked, then he ran up to Lizzy; put his hand in the air ready to slap her. I closed my eyes, but heard no sound.
When I opened my eyes Sebastian had Ciel's hand with his cane. "Young Master," Sebastian said as his face was calm. "you have forgotten the cane you took so much trouble to get." Sebastian stated as he handed the cane to Ciel, then he walk to Lizzy who was crying while Ciel was panting. "That ring was something incredibly important to our master." Sebastian said as Lizzy stop crying. "It was one of a kind, passed down though generation of Phantomhive family heads. Please forgive my master rudeness." Sebastian said to Lizzy as his face looked like he was sad. I looked at the ring, and it was broken. Fragments were around the ring like as if it was meant to be there. "Th-that precious a ring... I…" I heard Lizzy said as Ciel picked up the ring and looked at it. I felt his angry ran though like if someone took away his pride. Ciel walked away where the ring was. "Ciel, I'm..." Lizzy said as she turned around. I, too, turned around and Ciel continue to walk towards the window.
Then he threw his ring out the window; I was shocked. A young boy would usually get mad at the person, and then tried to fix what the person broke. But Ciel didn't he had so much will power to throw his precious ring through the window like as if it was nothing to him. "Ciel, what are you doing?" Lizzy yelled as she ran to the window like a child wanting something. "It doesn't mater. It was nothing but an old ring." Ciel said as he walked away from the window. I was more shocked at what Ciel had said. Is he really a child, I thought, or a child with a mans mind. "Even without it, the head, of this Phantomhive household is me." I smiled alittle of what Ciel said. A normal child would give up, cry, and be spoiled. But Ciel he was unspoiled, hardworking, and proud.
Ciel walked up to Lizzy while she was crying. "How long do you intend to cry for?" Ciel ask as Lizzy looked up at Ciel. "But..." Lizzy said as she tried to stop crying while Ciel put his hat back on. "Your face looks terrible." Ciel said as she took out his handkerchief. "It is absolutely unsuited to a lady." Ciel stated as he wipe Lizzy tears and blew her nose. "I wouldn't want to ask a girl like that to a dance." I was confused at what Ciel said. What did he meant? I thought as I heard foot steps going away from me.
I turned around, and Sebastian was holding a violin, and start to play. The music was familiar like a melody from my childhood. I close my eyes and listen to the music. I felt movement, and I didn't mind. A voice start to sing; it sound like a man but I didn't mind. I slowly start to walk to the room that I fell asleep in while the music dims.
I walked to the bed, and sat on the bed. The blankets were made of silk, and the pillows were soft. I slowly walk to the window, and the sun has already set. The stars were so bight. When I was with the killer, outside the window there were only buildings. But, in here, there was a garden waiting for something. I heard the door open; I turned around to see Sebastian holding candles in his hand.
"Sorry did I disturbed you?" I shock me head to no as he said that. He start to walk towards me. "Do you know how to put on or take off a dress?" Sebastian said as I shook my head to a no. Sebastian smiled at me; I was confused of why would Sebastian smiled. "Then how did you put on the dress when I first met you, Alex?" Sebastian said as he started to walk to me. I grab the paper and pen and started write down why I didn't know how do put on a dress. Then he smiled. "I see. Then may I take you dress off?" Sebastian ask as I looked down to the ground. I knew that I was still recovering injures I sustain from the killer, and the killer's helpers.
I slowly nod, and then he took off the dress. He must have noticed the scars I had since his face expression change to sorrow. He put on the nightgown for me as I tried to stay calm. "Did they hurt you while you were there?" I nod as he said that. Then he pulled me closer to him; I felt his sadness I just grab his coat to his suit. "It's ok now, you're safe here. No one can't hurt you." I looked up to Sebastian. His eyes were dark red, filled with some emotion but I couldn't tell which one. "I'll teach you how to talk." I was shocked of what he said. I tried to stay calm down, but I felt tears rolling down. Sebastian wiped them away. "You should rest, Alex, you had a long day." I nod of what he said as I walk to the bed. I heard Sebastian said something, but I could make it out. I pulled the blanket and went in the bed.
There was still light in the room and I heard movement in the room. I slowly fell into darkness.
