Disclaimers: I don't own Kuroshitsuji
"I can see..." the girl said, her voice raspy and full of incredulity. She jumped off the bed. When she lost balance the boy supported her. The girl didn't seem to notice what happened she just looked around the room; her eyes were filled with wonder and excitement. "I have to tell this to father!" the boy winced when he heard what she said.
'Curses' he thought. 'How am I supposed to tell her?'
"Excuse me," Alois looked up to the girl. "Who are you?"
"Oh," the boy shook his head, and then cleared his throat. He offered the girl a smile. "It's me, Alois."
The girl cocked her head to the side. She looked confused for a moment but was soon disappeared and was replaced with a beam. "So this is what you look like. You look really beautiful."
The boy blushed. He immediately covered his hands with one of his hands. "Y-you don't even know what beautiful looks like, you nitwit!" he said embarrassed.
The girl ignored what the boy said. She stared at his face with amazement written all over her face. "Incredible," she said. "Your face changed colors. What color is that? How did you do that?"
Alois looked at the floor, hoping that it would open up to swallow him whole. Caeli's questions were later interrupted by a knock. "Master," a deep voice came from the other side of the door.
"Come in," the door opened, revealing Alois' butler.
"Lord Alfred has arrived along with Lady Caeli's attendant," the butler said. His voice was very monotonous. The boy nodded.
"Claude, go get Hannah," the boy ordered. "Tell her to help Caeli in preparing and to take her to the salon after."
The butler bowed then left. When the boy looked back to the girl, he noticed that she looked perplexed. "My brother is here... That was your butler..." she said processing all the thoughts in her mind. "This is not my home. This is yours," it was not a question, it was a statement. The boy nodded to confirm what the girl said.
"Why am I here?" she inquired the boy in front of her.
"Tell me first what you remember before waking up," the boy said. He was trying to avoid answering her question. If it were other people, he would tell them immediately that about the loss of their loved one and then taunt them for their misfortune. But know he found himself in an arduous situation. 'Hurry up and get your ass here Hannah!' he thought.
"I remember drinking my medicine before," the girl was interrupted by a knock once again.
"Come in," Hannah entered the room, her head bent down to avoid eye contact. Alois turned to the girl who was now looking at the maid. "You should hurry up and get changed. You wouldn't want to keep your brother waiting would you?"
With that, the boy left. The girl then turned her attention to the maid.
"Hannah is that really you!?" the maid nodded and smiled at her former mistress. A beam appeared once again on the girl's face. "You look really beautiful."
"Caeli," a young man, who was slightly shorter than Claude, suddenly stood up from his seat. He ran to the girl and embraced her. "Thank goodness you're safe," the girl looked at her brother perplexed.
"Brother I have something very important to say to you," her brother removed his arms around her. "I can see brother! Isn't it amazing!? Father would be really happy once he finds out."
Her bother looked at her, startled. "You don't know?" he asked with a crestfallen tone.
"Is there something wrong brother?" Caeli said. She was growing worried of her brother. Alois, along with the others present in the room, looked away from the two siblings.
"Father's dead."
The girl stared at her brother. Her faced looked empty. Her heart was already broke when she found out that she won't be able to be with her friends. Now it seemed like her heart, which she tried so hard to fix, was pounded into dust.
All eyes were now on the girl. Alois observed her, trying to get a hint of what she was thinking. But he saw nothing but a mirror of himself when he lost Luka.
"Is that so?" the girl said with a hallow smile. Her brother looked away. "Please excuse me," the girl left and Alois followed her.
Caeli found herself in the gardens of the Trancy Manor. She collapsed to the ground and the tears flowed out of her eyes. Alois watched the girl. 'She looks so broken,' he thought. He unconsciously walked up to her, and then he kneeled down to her level. He tousled her hair in the same way he did to her and his brother before.
"Don't worry I'm here for you," he said. This time he allowed himself to say what he wanted to say.
A/N: This looked forced. Somehow I find myself lacking creativity and inspiration. Anyways, please review.
