His Curly Feline
Chapter 2: I'm a Cat!
Where am I?, Evie asked herself as she groaned and tried to open her eyes. The moment she does she sees that she is in a garden, a garden she had no business being in. I don't recognize this place. Why am I here?
It is not long before she realizes she isn't alone. She sees a boyish teen that's busy working in the garden and he looked familiar. He had short, blonde hair that was clipped back with red bobby pins and wore a straw hat. His uniform was a simple white top that was trimmed in red and plaid pants along with black boots.
"Mister Sebastian will be mad if I don't finish this weeding. I'll get this done fast, faster than anyone because I'm Finnian!" Feeling energetic after proclamation, he starts to dig out the weeds with fury, not noticing the big mess he was making in the process. And somehow, she really doesn't know how he did it, he snapped a tree like one would a toothpick.
'Finnian?' she attempted to shout, shocked to see a fictional character from Black Butler in the flesh, but all that comes out is "Meow?" Wait. Meow? What? DO I HAVE PAWS?
This caused the gardener to pause and turn towards her direction. Once his eyes landed on her he grinned and quickly stood up to make his ways toward her. As he came to stand in front of her, Evie couldn't help noticing how huge he was compared to her.
"What a cute kitty! I've never seen a kitty with fur like yours before," Finny said as he kneeled down to her level, smiling happily. "It's so curly!"
Kitty? No,no,no,no,no. This must be a dream. Black Butler is fiction. None of the characters are real- Her thoughts are cut off as she is gently picked up by Finny, who handles her as if she is made from glass. Oh, he is trying to be careful because of his super strength. Better not move or he'll accidentally crush me!
"I'm sure Mister Sebastian won't mind if I take a break. Are you hungry? I'll ask Bard if he has any leftover chicken-"
He was unable to finish his sentence as they both paused to listen to the sound of hoof beats approaching and then a pair of arms coming out of nowhere and dragging him out of the garden in a hurry. It was so fast that Evie had to dig her claws into Finny so she wouldn't be dropped.
"Ah!? Aaaack!" 'Help us!' "Meow! Meow!" They were both whisked inside the manor and before them stood another character that should not exist: Elizabeth, fiance of Ciel Phantomhive.
"Now, everything inside the manor must be cute and that includes you!" In matter of seconds she had poor Finny dressed in bunny ears and paws, even a tail. "There. Now your just as cute as the rest of the manor." Finny was too shocked to reply. Then, Elizabeth's eyes zeroed in on Evie. "Oh, what a cute kitty!" First she was clinging onto Finny just to somehow be transported into the blonde girls squeezing arms.
'How is she moving so fast!'
"You remind me of a pixie! Yes, that's what I'll call you! It's so cute. Come with me, we'll make you and everyone else in the manor even cuter!"
'NOOOOO! Is that a Hello Kitty wreath? She exists in Black Butler? Wait, forget that, just let me wake up already!' "Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!"
It wasn't long before Elizabeth got to Bard and dressed him in a frilly bib and bonnet, Mei-Rin having slipped away in the confusion, lucky girl. She was now focusing on Evie and the oblivious Tanaka.
"Look, Pixie, these silk ribbons and fairy wings look so pretty on you!" Elizabeth practically gushed as she held a mirror in front of her. Evie froze, staring back at her was a small cat with big pink ribbons hanging from her neck and tail and glittery wings standing proudly on her back. As she observed her new cat body, she could see why Elizabeth thought she looked pixie-ish. She was slender with large eyes and ears. She looked so fragile because of her prominent cheekbones and light weight frame, but what really stood out was her fur coat that had waves of short, brown curls all through it.
'Great. At least I still have my brown curls', she thought sarcastically.
From a short distance, she heard a voice smoother than sweet, melted chocolate. "What in the world is this? More like... What is with that appearance, you two?" It was followed by a younger voice that that sounded completely miserable. "My manor. It's so pink...so glittery...so girlish. My manor."
"Ask the crazy girl," was the growled response of Bard, obviously still steamed about his current appearance.
Elizabeth, of course, paid no mind to the voices outside the room because she was too busy dressing up Tanaka.
"These ribbons are good, too. But these satin roses are the cuuuutest! I hesitated a little... but like I thought, you wearing that is totally adorable! You look like Antoinette!"
Tanaka merely responded with his signature "Ho, ho, ho".
Evie turned her head from the ridiculous scene to see Sebastian and Ciel watching from the doorway. She turned away as quickly as she could. 'No more. I'm just going to block this all out until I finally wake up.'
Unfortunately, Elizabeth had plans of her own as she yanked Evie from her spot on the ground, so she could drag her towards to stunned Ciel.
"Ah! Ciel! I wanted to see youuu!"
"E-Elizabeth! Stop! You know I'm allergic to cats!" Ciel covered his face with his arms, squeezing his eyes shut, preparing himself for the unavoidable sneeze attack. For the longest time, nothing happened.
"Ahem. Miss Elizabeth, may I?," Sebastian asked politely, his hands held out. Elizabeth handed her over, now free to snuggle Ciel. Sebastian was practically glowing with unconcealed joy as he held her with care, hands gentle as he caressed her fur, a look of amazement and contentment on his face. "Ah, I see. This little lady was born with a fur coat that does not shed, which results in a lack of cat dandruff."
"Yay! Isn't that great, Ciel? Her name is Pixie and since your gardener found her, she can stay here at the manor! Oh, you are just the cutest thing ever!"
