Ep. 1 Chapter 2
A/N: Ok so I just realized I left the last chapter with many questions...Anything I don't explain in the series I'll explain in my authors notes...anything you feel confused on just type it on in, in that little review box at the bottom and ask...I like constructive criticism. If you're just putting a bad review and not telling me how I can change it, it won't get better. Also I cannot change character personalities...it's too late...don't ask.
Alice POV:
Sebastian and I watched as they walked away. Once I heard the door shut, I turned and was welcomed into my mate's arms.
"I've missed you, Alice Happy Anniversary." he said into my hair. "Three hundred years and you haven't aged a day. You still look amazing."
"Three long, lonely human years apart " I said pulling back so I could look deeply into his ruby eyes. "I should get Cali's things"
"I'll help you" he said following me to Cali and mine's horses.
"Where is your carriage?" he asked
"Cali's afraid of them" I pulled Cali's suitcase off her horse.
"Why?"
"About a year ago her parents contracted me to protect her. One day she, her cousin Elizabeth, her father, and pregnant mother went for a carriage ride and the carriage had been...compromised. Cali was the only one who survived that day" I started to walk to my horse to get my suitcase when I felt a hand on my shoulder. When I turned around Sebastian took Cali's suitcase, sat it on the ground, and pulled me into his arms. "Her cousin was in a coma for a month before dying." I said, emotionless.
"I know, she was the young master's betrothed (A/N: Yep...Ciel's Elizabeth died...sorry Liz but I felt bad for her). It wasn't your fault, Alice. It was a bad wheel" he comforted.
"I should have checked better" I said. He kissed me. It was completely heart-melting, it was the closest I could get to heaven while being a demon.
"We should get back to our contractors soon" I said as we parted.
"Go back to them. I'll make the room and I have a few things to tend to" he said as he kissed me.
"Okay" I walked back inside to the parlor. "Hello Cali. Lord Phantomhive" I said bowing my head in greeting.
"Call me Ciel" The young boy said with an irritated eyebrow twitch.
"Okay, Ciel" I sat on a plush, purple chaise lounge and stared at the blue wall in front of me, which held a window and two book cases that were filled.
"You have a beautiful manor, Ciel" I said staring at the dark sky through the window.
"Thank you, Mrs. Michaelis"
"Oh, Ciel, my last name is Klen"
"But Sebastian said-"
"We're mates, I haven't taken his name yet. We are committed to each other though, like a human marriage" I explained.
"Oh. Ok then." He said slightly irritated.
"Alice?" Cali asked.
"Yes?"
"Sebastian, is he the one in that?"
"Yes. That was about a thousand years ago." I said, looking at my hands that were on my stomach.
"I'm sorry, Alice. I didn't mean to upset you"
"It's fine"
"I think I would like some tea. What about you ladies?"
"That sounds marvelous!" Cali exclaimed.
"Miss Klen?"
"Alice please; and no thank you, tea is upsetting to demon's stomachs if they have animal affiliations"
"Well is there anything I can get you? We have many different drinks. A nice wine perhaps?"
"Alice. No wine" Cali said. "The last thing we need is a drunk cat demon"
"Excuse you, manners young lady. I may be contracted to you, but I'm still your governess" I scolded.
"I'm sorry, Alice."
"It's alright. Would you have Italian coffee?"
"Alice. Don't be picky." Cali scolded. I gave her a warning glare.
"As a matter of fact, we do" Ciel said. "Mey-Rin?"
"Yes, Ciel, sir" The red-head said and scuttled off.
"Ciel, I hope you don't mind my asking, but do you have a piano? My fingers are positively itching to play a tune"
"I don't mind at all, but let's wait until tomorrow, it's rather late" he said gesturing towards the clock.
"Alice, how old are you?" Cali asked.
Sebastian POV: (A/N: Haha you don't get to know how old she is yet)
After I finished Cali's room and while Mey-Rin took care of Ciel, Alice, and Cali, I decided to make a quick trip to the underworld to get Alice a gift or three. Her weapons of choice were guns, so I got soul-stealer charms for them. Then I got her an Alexandrite necklace with matching earrings and bracelet. Finally, I got her originals of old horror books. I came back to the human world I noticed Mey-Rin in the kitchen making tea, or at least trying to, but it ended up that she dropped the tea pot.
"Mey-Rin, I'll get this. Just take these to my room and set them in the closet"
"Yes, sir, Mr. Sebastian, sir" she said as she took the packages and left.
Alice POV:
"Yes I was alive then, contracted to the man himself. I'm the reason he betrayed Jesus" (A/N: If memory serves correctly, she is talking about Judas) I said to the wide eyed children. "but I was causing havoc way before then"
"Tea is served" Sebastian walked in carrying a tray of tea with a cup of Italian espresso for me. As he sat the tray down on the table he said. "After you finish we should all head to bed"
"Aw, but can't I stay up a little while longer?" Cali asked.
"Because it's almost ten and you have a big day ahead of you" I said.
"Fine" she said sipping her tea.
"Posture" I reminded her as I sipped my espresso. She straightened her back and drank faster. Once we all finished Ciel excused himself to bed.
"I'll be there right after I show the ladies their rooms" Sebastian said to him and stood. "Right this way ladies."
He walked out the door that Ciel had just left through and went upstairs and to the left. We came to a stop at a door on the right.
"This is your room Lady Deveroux" Sebastian said opening the door.
"Thank you, Sebastian" She said shutting the door. He, then, took me across the stairs to the right side of the manor .
"This is our room" He said opening a door on the right side of the hall. "I have a few things to attend to. I'll be back shortly"
I walked in to see a large bed with red sheets and pillows, a nightstand with a black candelabra, and a large window with dark velvet curtains.
I'll make sure he has a nice surprise to come back to.
Wait for the next chapter to see what the surprise is. R&R Please. 3
