Chapter 2

The other side of the story

Some people are meant to be hated and torn apart, others were meant to be loved by everyone, guess I'm not one of those people.

While following the butler to the garden Jenavive looked at every corner of the halls, every painting they walked by and most of all, all the dark energy that came from the handsome looking butler named Sebastian Michaelis .

They walked thru the big empty halls, the red carpet felt comfortable and home coming every time Jenavive took a step, the yellow walls seemed to shine cause of the sunlight that came in through the big windows.
They walked by so many rooms Jenavive wanted to know what was behind the door every time they passed one.

'So you are from Germany, milady'

Jenavive looked up and realized Sebastian was talking to her 'Well I'm from London, my parents send me to Germany 11 years ago so I could become a proper lady'

'We rarely get women to visit the young lord, well besides his fiancé of course' the butler looked over his shoulder.

Jenavive looked at him with big eyes 'fiancé…?'

'Yes Lady Elizabeth, Elizabeth Midford, do you know her?'

'Well her name sounds familiar I think I played with her when I was younger, I remember she was very loud'

Sebastian smirked slightly and stopped walking 'Oh we're already here, time flies when you're having fun' the butler looked at her and winked.

They were standing in front of two glass doors, the butler opened them and the sunlight came in like bullets.
'My lord, I am terribly sorry to interrupt your work, our guest has arrived' with those words he stepped aside.

Jenavive walked into the garden and smelled the flowers and the fresh air.
Everywhere she looked were flowers in all colors, red and pink roses, lilies and much more.
Big cherry trees made a roof above the middle of the garden
Underneath that roof she saw a round table filled with sweets, the young man she saw sitting at the table caught her eye.
He was so handsome and he looked so cool.
His blue hair flowed with wind, and his smile was so beautiful.
He stood up from his chair and walked towards Jenavive.
Jenavive saw the young man was wearing a eye patch on his right eye, his other eye was so clear and bright it was full of secrets.
Jenavive couldn't stop looking at him.

The young man stood in front of her and took her hand, he gave a small kiss on top of her palm while he bowed.
Jenavive felt she was blushing and looked away shy.

'Hello milady, my name is Ciel Phantomhive I'm the head of the Phantomhive manor and the Phantomhive company.
I'm really pleased to meet such a beautiful lady' he smiled and his eye had a light twinkle in it.
'Your name is Jenavive right?' He slightly touched her cheek.

Jenavive pushed away his hand 'Yes I am I have wanted to meet you for a long time'

Ciel looked a little stunned, but after a while he smiled and turned around to walk back towards the round table in the middle of the garden.

'Please sit down' he said when he saw Jenavive was still standing on the same spot.

Jenavive walked towards the table and sat down on the other side.
Sebastian stood behind her and pored tea in her cup.
'Today we have Earl Gray tea with a lemon touch' he bowed and walked back to Ciel.

Ciel looked up after he took a sip from his tea 'Why did you wanted to meet me so badly, most people know who I am and mostly that's the reason they don't want to meet me.
So I was really surprised when Diedrich called the manor and told me there was a girl who wanted to see me.
Explain yourself please' the first happy and bright eyes turned into a cold and terrifying gaze.

Jenavive thought she may could come up with some kind of lie but she knew the truth would come back later on.
She looked into his big, cold, blue eye 'If I tell you will you believe me' she looked at him serious and realized she was looking just as cold as Ciel did.

Ciel put on a fake smile 'Of course I will, please tell me'

Jenavive looked at Sebastian who was looking even scarier than he did a while ago, she looked back at Ciel.

'I-I'm your sister'

Ciel gave a small smirk and looked at Jenavive 'I was wondering when you would come back'.

Jenavives eyes became big 'Y-you knew'

Ciel nodded 'Of course I did so tell me Jenavive, when are you going to tell me the reason you really came here, cause if I'm right you are now the 5th girl this week to tell me you are my sister' he looked irritated and annoyed.

Jenavive didn't know what to say she just looked at Ciel stunned.

'You don't believe me' she said 'It isn't a joke, Diedrich told me the story he would never lie to me'

'He just want you to get married, you're just a girl looking for love'

Jenavives gaze turned cold as ice 'I know nothing about the feeling of love, I was and am hated my whole life.
I was send to Germany by my parents they didn't even consider to raise me they're selves like Vincent did with you.
They never called, they never send me letters and now I hear they are dead years after they died.
Now I am turned down by my brother, I think you should talk to someone else about love because I don't know what the hell you're talking about'

A small breeze came thru the garden and Jenavives white hair was blown to her right side, that was the moment Ciel saw the mole underneath Jenavive's left eye.
It was exactly the same spot as his father's, he looked at her closely and felt like he was looking at a young, selfish, white haired version of his mother.
The full lips, the big eyes and the pink cheeks, everything looked so identical to his mother's.

'Tell me your name, your full name' he said after a while.

Jenavive looked at him stunnend and said her name 'Jenavive Letalis Gemma Racheal Angelina Lilium Phantomhive'

Hearing Jenavives real name he remembered everything the time they were together and the pain he felt when she was gone.
He stood up from his chair, walked to Jenavive and pulled her in a tight embrace.

´I can't believe I forgot about you so easy…Jenavive?'

'Yes what is it'

Ciel hugged her even tighter 'Please… don't go away again, I don't want to forget about you anymore'

Jenavive felt tears coming up she tried to hold it in but for some reason she couldn't, she wrapped her arms around Ciel's neck and cried 'Ciel I missed you so much, I don't want to go away I just want to stay like this.
I…want to stay with you'

Ciel smiled, a thing he almost never did so it shocked Sebastian a bit when he saw the happy siblings together just spitting out their feelings.

'Don't worry I never even been near your room so it's all still there, you can stay as long as you want' Ciel planted a small kiss on her forehead.

'Still, there is something I want to know' Ciel said 'Why were you send to Germany all of the sudden'

Jenavive looked up into his blue eye 'I still don't know they wanted to make me a proper lady but I actually don't really believe that' she let go of Ciel's neck and looked down.

'Maybe they knew what was going to happen and they wanted to keep me safe from all the bad things.
I lived with Diedrich since then, he raised me as a strong lady and cared for me when I was scared.
I slept in his bed when there was a thunderstorm, and he would beat the bullies when I came home crying.
My appearance always caused trouble, my hair to white and my eyes to dark.
My skin to pale and my dresses to frilly.
Everyone thought it was a curse, some of them even thought I was made by the devil.
Boys thought I was creepy and girls didn't like me cause I was prettier than they were.
The only friends I had were Diedrich's dogs, they didn't look at my appearance they didn't mind my hair being white as snow and my eyes awfully dark'.

Jenavive stood up and turned around, she pulled her white hair over her shoulder.
The dress she was wearing was low enough to show half of her back, Ciel looked at it and saw she was completely covered with scars.
Ciel could see the scars were once really deep wounds, the kind that doesn't heal quickly.

Ciel hugged her from behind 'You're safe here' he tightened his hug and just stood there for a few minutes.

After a few minutes Ciel let go of her and grabbed her hand, Jenavive turned around and stared at him with her big eyes.
'From now on my house is your house, my servants are your servants and my friends are your friends' he said happy
'Really?' a smile appeared on Jenavives face she jumped into Ciel's arms 'Thank you so much… Onii-Chan' she looked at him and gave a playful wink.

Ciel turned red and before he could say something to her Sebastian came in between 'Milady, please follow me to your room then' He smiled big.

Jenavive looked at Ciel, then nodded in agreement 'Uhm… Yes of course'.

She followed Sebastian to her room.

Her room was like Ciel said, untouched.
It was bright and white with pink curtains and a big baby pink Queen sized bed.
It all looked so familiar and new, She felt a small tear going down her cheek she wiped it away quickly hoping Sebastian didn't see it.

'I will be calling you when dinner is ready Milady' Sebastian said.

'Alright, thank you Sebastian' she looked at him cheerfully and smiled with glowing eyes.

Sebastian stared at her big eyes for a few seconds, he smiled and closed the door when he left.

Right on that moment Sebastian discovered that maybe demons really can feel happiness.
