21

You walked out the house ignoring Chris ordering you to wait and Sebastian's questions. As soon as you began walking down the sidewalk you began to feel calm. That's when you realized you still had your ear buds clutched in your hand. You took your phone out of your pocket and plugged them in. Music blasts through you ears as you walked. Maybe if the volume wasn't so loud you would have heard the footsteps behind yourself.

You gazed at the stars before your calm heart beat intensified and your eyes widened as a hand clasped your mouth and an arm wrapped around your waist. You struggled to free yourself and kicked backwards to try kicking whoever had you captured finally you turned and scratched the person across their face but you fell backwards and you could feel your back being damaged. You let out a gasp of pain but no noise came out despise your attempt of also screaming for help. A hand reached out and grabbed half your hair then yanked you up, an immense headache forming. You whimpered as you looked into the brown eyes of your attacker. His black, or so it seemed that color, shaggy hair in between his eyes, you could also make up the head of a snake tattooed on a side of his neck. You let out a huge scream of fear before you were roughly thrown onto the floor. Before he could stomp on your head you rolled away and jumped up, beginning to run. You could hear his loud footsteps behind you as you began screaming but nobody came to help you. Suddenly you stumbled back as you crashed with a man. You looked up in fear at the strange man with a tuxedo. "Watch out!" You heard a woman scream and you were quickly moved out of the way before your attacker grabbed you once more. You could feel slender warm arms around you. You looked up to see a beautiful lady with tan skin and grey-ish purple hair 'It'sprobably just the moonlight' you thought. She gently put you down and raced to battle your attacker along with the man in the tux. She wore a long sleeved purple shirt and dark blue pants along with black flats. Her move were swift and it seemed as she made no effort, the man with a tux on the contrary had stuff movements as if he was a puppet on strings. He had no emotion on his face. Soon your attacker was defeated, tears brimmed on your eyes as the woman smiled gently at you and opened her arms. You whimpered then ran in to hug her, letting out your sobs and letting your tears hit her shoulder.

Once you calmed down you pulled away and stared at her "Thank you, Thank you so much I-" "Don't worry about it" she smiled at you "Who are you?" Her eyes twinkled and she started speaking once again, "My name is Hannah Anafeloz, at your service and this is Claude Faustus" she said motioning to herself then Claude. You noticed she too had a small British accent, not to noticeable but it was there. You looked up at 'Claude' as he stared down at you, a shiver went down your spine at how creepy he was. He didn't speak, just stared. Taking out your phone your eyes widened to see how late it was. In panic you looked around and shock hit you. You didn't know where you were. Hannah must've noticed because she looked at you in sympathy "Dear you must be lost, and it is quite late" she spoke calmly at first then in worry. Suddenly she looked up smiling slightly and took your hands in hers "W-Why don't you come with us to my master's manor, I'm sure he won't mind and it would please me too to know you're safe with us, I really wouldn't like it if the same scenario happened" you froze knowing that by 'scenario' she meant what had just happened. Then again you were also afraid of going home with 2 strangers, even if they just saved your life. Looking down you spoke "I-If you don't mind me asking, who's your master?" Hannah smiled lovingly "His name is Alois. Alois Trancy, maybe you know him" You looked up surprise that she knew him and nodded "I do, he goes to my school, we talk a lot" this just made Hannah's smile brighten and a twinkle appear in her eyes. With that she took your hands and spoke "Perfect, will you accompany us?" You couldn't help but feel safe and as if with a mother around her for some reason which caused you to smile and stutter an agreement. After hugging you she helped you up and began dragging you down the sidewalk excitedly. You hadn't noticed Claude had left until he opened the door to a white and gold limo and helped Hannah and you inside.

On your way to their manor Hannah talked excitedly and lovingly about Alois and how much you would like the manor. You couldn't help but get a little excited and after what seemed like an hour or two you saw gold gates that slowly opened to reveal a large beige mansion with white columns and a green roof top that looked like a palace. You looked behind and realized that there was only 2 "houses" on each side of the road because they were also mansions but not as big as Alois'. It was kind of scary considering you had only lived an apartment your whole life. Claude came over and opened the door, allowing you and Hannah to exit and as soon as that was done Hannah turned to you excitedly "Oh I can't wait till you see Master Alois! He'll be so happy!" As soon as she said that she dragged you into the mansion, not bothering to knock. She sat you on a couch and left with a big smile leaving you alone to play with your thumbs. You sighed "I hope—" "Hannah!" A door slammed followed by angry footsteps. You froze in fear and felt like Bell's dad when the beast discovered him inside his castle. A whimper was heard "Hannah! Hannah come out!" As if on command, Hannah appeared back through the door she left with "Alois, what's wrong?" Her voice was full of sympathy "Hannah!" You saw a flash of white and blond before Hannah was tackled in a hug almost falling over by... Alois? You watched silently as he repeated her name and clenched her outfit in his hands "Alois dear, we have a guest" she looked up at you smiling. Alois' head snapped up and his eyes glared over at your little corner but quickly glimmered with excitement at realization the guest was you. Before you could say anything Alois ran to you and hugged you tightly "(y/n)! Oh it's so great to see you! What brings you here?" He said smiling "Well you see I was out walking when I got attacked by this man and Hannah and Claude saved me then invited me here" You explained with a slight fear that he might ask you to leave as you stared at him.

Alois smirked down at you and grabbed you by your shoulders "Well why don't you spend the night here? Unless you would rather have Claude take you to Ciel's manor. I would have Hannah take you but she's quite busy right now and I would rather have her stay." You didn't think it okay for you to stay with Alois but you also didn't want to go alone with Claude after all it was a long ride to Ciel's manor... "Hmmm a-alright but let me call my cousin first to make sure it's okay and he doesn't worry" Hannah looked up and spoke "If you want, I could talk to him just so that he knows you won't be alone with a boy" she said with a smile which you returned and thanked her.

Claude quietly led you to where the phone was and you noticed it was one of those old fashioned spin phones but you were okay with them because you always thought them pretty cool. You dialed or spun your number into the phone and waited. You heard somebody pick up then some rustling and a mumbled "will you shut up!" Before you heard Sebastian's voice answer.

To your surprise he didn't hesitate a second and immediately said "M'lady how's your night?" You stood there in shock for a few seconds before responding "Umm good, I guess, Sebastian can I talk to my cousin?" You heard him chuckle and the phone being passed, "(Y/N)! Where the hell are you! Oh my god you had me worried sick!-" he sighed "where are you?..." You felt your eyes soften and your body relax. Honestly you were quite glad he had actually worried for you and had the courage to tell you he cared, maybe you should go back, "Don't worry Chris I'm at—" "Where are you!" A male voice with a strong English accent interrupted you. You could feel a slight frustration "Ciel, please pass the phone back to Chris I was talking with him" "Yeah!" You heard Chris yell causing you to smile "No! He can wait, right now you tell me where you are! You had no right whatsoever to just leave like that!" Was he saying he didn't want you to leave? "You left me hanging! I had words in my mouth and you left rudely!" Well there went your hopes... "Well I'm sorry Ciel but I wasn't about to let you disrespect me like that! I'm not some slut and I'm not your servant for you to order me around and lecture me" "Well you—" "Oh hell no! Do not start with 'This is my house' crap because you offered to take me to your house despise my protest! And even with that you have no right to tell me what to do!" "Where are you! I should've known how stupid you would act! Hmph, you're stupid naturally and I don't if its because you're a girl, the earthquake or because your head was banged onto the bed to many times!—" his voice stopped. Ciel just now realized what e had said as he clutched the phone. How would he tell you to 'understand' now? "...(Y/n) I-I—" "Fine then! I won't go back! That's obviously what you want! I'll stay here where my true friends are and where I'm respected you stupid bastard!" You slammed the phone down hanging up. The sobs you uselessly tried to hide during the call where now louder. You felt anger, sadness, and embarrassment all at once.

As you tried blocking your sobs with your hands you felt slim arms make their way around your shoulder and pull you to a chest "Shhh, it's ok" Alois whispered as he brushed your hair. You nuzzled into him not knowing he was trying to contain a smirk...

'I finally have you'
