A/N I would like to thank everybody who reviewed. One important question lingers: Who should Alice be with, William or Undertaker? Check the poll in my profile. Personally I think Undertaker, but William does have a sincerity to him and is willing to do anything for her. Remember I do not own Black butler but I do own the Oc.
The dream still haunts me and I really need to figure out what's going on. I can't really tell anyone about what I know now. I guess I'll just have to go to Sebastian about this. Well, he's a demon and he knows something about me. I just have to know.
As Alice was considering on going to Sebastian, Theo was thinking about how Alice will get her memory back. He remembered how she was as a little girl. She was adorable and fragile. He wanted to help her, but know he's just the person that watches the play go on. Something was going to happen. But he couldn't tell if it was good or bad.
'Alice, please remember soon. I can't bear to see you like this.'
He had to talk to someone about this. All of his emotions and thoughts have him trapped in a corner and made him panic. Theo came to one person that knew him, Alaster. Theo kept in contact with him for emergencies or to talk to.
This would be one of those emergencies. He didn't know what to do. Theo started to write a letter to his friend.
Dear Alaster,
It has been a while since we have spoken, but all formality and small chatter must be put aside. Do you recall the small girl I told you about a long time ago? The one with the white hair, red eyes and who was beaten mercilessly by other children? She has grown and has her memory erased. I need your help with her.
I cannot lose this girl. I need your help.
Sincerely,
Theo Walden A.K.A The Undertaker
He sent the letter with a gray fox to show that it was straight from him. Alice was all he can think about. She was the one she had him in her clutches without even trying. He started to chuckle weakly at the memory that was the most hilarious to him when he decided to eat with Alice for lunch.
~Flashback~
"THEO!" he turned to see Alice running to him. He smiled at the usual white sundress and he squatted down to see the little girl eye to eye.
"Why hello Alice. What are you doing here?"
"I wanted you to have lunch with me. Grell has detention and I have to stay home, but I saw you."
"Well I would be delighted."
"YAY! Let's go!" Before he knew it he was being dragged by a little girl and headed towards her home. It still pained him to see her and her brother live in a manor so beautiful, but wrecked because of the two small children that reside there.
He watched Alice run to the kitchen and offered him to make himself at home. He did, but heard a scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" It was Alice. He sped off to her and saw her crying. There was a huge spider on her shoulder.
"GET IT OFF OF MEEEEEEEEE!"
As soon as he did, he started to laugh until he was rolling on the floor in tears. That scream was so loud, he was surprised that Alice could scream that loud. She was so quiet all the time.
"What are you laughing at?" She glared at the young man, but that made her too cute. Theo bought her in his lap, still laughing.
"You're so quiet until that scream hahahaha. It was hard to usually hear you, now it's hard not to." Alice puffed her cheeks and pouted, causing Theo to hug her even tighter.
"I just don't like spiders."
"I can show you that the spiders are harmless."
Theo beamed after he started to help Alice play and get over the fear of spiders. She started to smile and laugh. Theo thought it was wrong to feel the way he started to feel for Alice. It was a desire to be more than friends. When he looks at Alice, she smiles at him. The smile was what he wanted to see more and have her have it forever.
"Alice." She looks at him.
"Yes?"
"I… I'm going away for a while." She started to panic. She had a look of concern. It was if an adult would threaten to take away their child's favorite toy.
"What why?! I don't want you to go away Theo! You and Grell are the only friends I have. Please don't go!" Tears started to pour from her bright red eyes. Theo's heart cracked under her teary eyes. He had to, but he hated to break the news to her.
"I'll come back before you know it. When I do, we'll have a day with just the 2 of us. I promise."
"How will I know you won't break*hiccup* your promise?" Alice asks as her sobbing starts to be little hiccups.
"All right then, I'll do it this way." He clears his throat and puts his right hand over his heart and her hand over his. "I, Theodore Walden, swear to Alice Sutcliff that when I return, we will spend a day with each other. No one else will come in between us during that time."
"You swore, you have to keep it."
"I will." He smiled at her and they stayed that way for a long time, until Alice asked a question that affected him.
"So you just asked me on a date?"
Theo jumped in shock. She was way too innocent to ask or think that way. His face blushed at the thought. She was too young, but he did develop feelings for her.
"Where did you hear that?" He tried to ask without his voice cracking, but failed.
"These ladies were talking about a date. They said their boyfriend asked them on a day with just the 2 of them. You're a boy and my friend. Wouldn't you be my boyfriend then?" It was an innocent question and he had to explain it to her it was different than what those women meant. The only thing is how can he say it without her understanding it wrong and corrupting her sweet mind?
"Um… well…I… I am your friend and I am a boy, but they… uh…" He just couldn't say it. Alice tilted her head in confusion and stray strands fell in her face. She was so adorable, if he couldn't say it before, he won't now.
"You'll know when you're older. However, this is a playdate, not the same kind of date those women were talking about, ok?"
She tilted her head further and put her index finger close to her lips that made her 100 times no 1000 times cuter with the thoughtful look in her eyes with wonder and curiosity.
'If she looks cute now, I wonder what she'll look like as an adult.'
~Flashback over~
'She has really become so beautiful.'
The bell for the front door rang and a deep voice echoed out.
"Theo! You here?"
Theo goes to see the one person who knows his name.
Alaster.
