Yo! Sorry this took so long, but I decided that I will try to update every week. This week was hectic for me 'cause I had 2 projects due and I had to speak in front of my class for them. One was a skit in ELA from a book we were reading. The first thing my teacher said when we were done was "Wow, you guys like to swear a lot, don't you?" The skit was from To Kill a Mockingbird so we were allowed to curse a little bit. I almost started laughing right at my teacher when he said that! Anyway, enough with me, on with the story! Wait, we're on chapter three, right?

Chapter 3: A Thief… That Gave Something Back? (Part 1)

I was walking down a busy street. Even though it was busy, it was peaceful. Children ran around with candy in their hands, knees scraped and clothes dusty from playing. Enjoy childhood while you can little ones. I had never had a real childhood. Mine was filled with white- coated doctors and crimson filled needles. A few days had passed and I managed to find suitable clothing. I was wearing sneakers (don't know what kind of shoes they wore so I'm just going to make them sneakers), black baggy pants that hung off of a thin waist, a green shirt a couple sizes too big and a long brown coat. My hair was tied in a loose low side ponytail on the left side of my head, my dirty brown hair hanging in front of my demon's eye. Luckily, the collar of the coat covered my tattoo (i.e. the mark), but my hair did that also.

I had managed to steal some bread from a bakery this morning so I was less hungry then before, but still starving. "Hey, come over here girl." I look over to see a middle aged man calling to me. As soon as I did, he nodded to me, as if he were talking to me. I walked over, thinking he needed help.

"Yes?" I asked. He handed me a bag that had quite some weight to it. I looked at him questionably, wondering what was in the bag.

"You look like you haven't seen a good meal in ages. That should last you to tomorrow morning." I stared, speechless.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked.

"Because you remind me of someone I know, and they would've done the same thing," he replied. I sensed the honesty and grief that he held. Just another one of my awesome abilities (cue sarcasm).

"Thank you for the food, mister," I said. I bowed respectively before walking away. I turned and sat in ally, opening up the bag. There was fresh meat, fish, rice, vegetables, bread and fruit. I ate the meat, needing it to keep up my strength. I tried to hold back, but I ended up eating everything that was in the bag. Looks like I'll have to steal for dinner tonight again. I didn't like stealing, but there were no woods or wild animals to hunt. Ever since I had awakened my angelic and demonic powers I had been craving meat. Probably the fox's doing. That's what I referred to my demonic powers as, since I did turn into a fox. I licked my fingers clean before I heard a disturbance in the street. I stepped out of the ally to see what was going on. All I saw were three people walking down the street but what confused me was the fact that everyone was stepping out of their way, creating a space for them to walk.

"What is going on?" I muttered. Apparently the lady standing next to me heard me because she turned towards me.

"Don't you know? Those are the late Earl Phantomhive's servants," she said.

"Earl Phantomhive?" I repeated.

"Oh, yes. Ciel Phantomhive, the Guard dog of the Queen. They say he's the youngest boy to ever become an Earl. His parents died in a tragic fire when he was ten. He went missing for a month after the fire before returning with a strange butler and his right eye covered in bandages. Those three have served him since he came back. Until three years ago, that is," she said, sadness and respect radiating off of her.

"What happened three years ago?" I asked, curious to know what happened.

"The Earl Phantomhive died. No one knows how. Only that his butler went to the Earl's closest friends with a gift and a card that said he had passed away. Then he too disappeared," the lady replied. Hmmmmm. Interesting. An Earl suddenly 'dying' and then his butler goes missing? I don't think this is a coincidence. Something's not right here, and I think it starts with this mysterious death. I thanked the lady for the information before I turned back into the ally and disappeared.

Damn it. It's been a month and I still haven't found anything on this 'Ciel' character. I was walking down a street on the outskirts of London, this time near a forest. I had found a clean river and a cave to set up a temporary home, plus the secluded space allowed me to try to control my abilities without the fear that I would hurt anyone. I now could summon my attributes at will, whether my demonic fox powers or my angelic wings separately or together. I had also filled out a little since I was eating a semi-steady diet of fresh (raw) meat and fish. I had found that fresh caught meat such as deer held more protein than cooked, which allowed me to keep my strength up. I also still stole other items such as clothes when I needed them, fruits and vegetables and bread to get some calories. I was thinking rather hard about my next move when I suddenly bumped into someone. I fell to the ground hard on my backside.

"I'm terribly sorry. Are you alright, miss?" a voice said above me.

"Ya, I'm fine. It's my fault for not watching where I was going," I said. A hand appeared in front of me and I grabbed it, allowing the attached person to help me up. I looked at the person and found myself looking into maroon eyes. The guy had black hair and pale skin with a slight smirk on his lips. He stared at me for a minute before a confused look came upon his face. I in took a breath through my nose and my eyes widened slightly at the scent. Demon. I smiled and bowed my head. "I apologize for running into you. I was thinking about something and was not watching where I was going," I said.

"It's quite alright, miss. I am partly responsible for the collision as well," he said, the confused look gone know, but a question still in his eyes.

"Thank you for helping me up, but I must be going now," I said before walking away. I turned into an ally and watched as he processed what had just happened. He probably looked confused because he sensed both angel and demon inside of me while I still have a soul. I smirked at the thought. Ciel was said to have returned with a strange butler and his right eye covered after that fire. If it's what I'm thinking, that butler of his was a demon and the contract he made was placed on his eye. Maybe if I follow this demon, I'll finally get some answers as to what's been going on while I've been locked up. And with that, I followed the now moving demon, with even more questions in my head.

Woohoo! Over 1,000 words! I made it longer to apologize for the long wait. And we met Sebastian! Alexis won't know who he is 'till the next chapter though. Please favorite and follow if you don't already. Also, I was thinking of making a fan fiction for Soul Eater. Please review or PM me with your guy's opinion. Thanks a bunch!
