RE-EDIT

From the small description, you can obviously tell that this story was made already and I stopped it for reasons. 1. I wasn't interested in the story anymore. Don't get me wrong. I love Black Butler. I mean who doesn't. 2. My character was way too based of like Ciel. The reason for that was because I read so many stories about twins, and the Phantomhive twins were exactly like. I loved those stories and wish to create my own from those.

Over the months, however, I realized that wasn't fun at all and it was just another copy of a character. If anyone here is thinking of writing a story, please take my advice and don't copy any of the characters. You will have more fun by just making your own character, own personality, look, and own story. I made those mistakes and if you read my Vampire Knight story, that isn't rewritten. You will completely understand. I regret making a copy of Yuki. *sigh*

Anyway, this story is a rewritten of my old story. New Life. Unfortunately, I believe changing the title was the best option. The reason... if the title doesn't line up with the story then it will make no sense in my opinion. Thank you for reading this long passage of my reasoning and understanding of why I'm rewriting it. Enjoy the story and everyone have great day. *bows*

I do not own Kuroshitsuji

Chapter 1

The Introduction of Raven

That dream... A man with glowing pink eyes, a slit in his pupils like a cat irritated. That smirk that is crueler and seductive. He stretches his hand out to you, playing with you to see if you will take it or die instead. If you accept his help, you will admit defeat but if you don't then it is the end of your life. In the end, you lose. The demon... is waiting. The demon always watches. And the demon wants your soul.

"What path will you choose, my lords?"

...

The bright sun was shining on my eyes, making it harder to ignore the bright light. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes to have all my senses awaken. I slowly moved into a sitting position with a few strands of my long, dark navy hair falling to my face. My simple night shirt was big enough to cover my thighs but not long enough to cover my bare legs. My attention was to the window showing the morning light. I was never a morning person, and having the sun shinning on me was a crueler wake up call then having Sebastian or Meyrin waking me up.

"It's morning..." I spoke regrettably, grumbling under my breath.

After my grumbling, I heard a knock on my door that was brought to my immedate attention.

"My lady, may I come in?"

This voice couldn't be anyone but my personal maid, Meyrin. Despite my comfort of the bed, I had to get up and open the door for her to enter. As promised for Meyrin being my personal maid. She was wearing her simple maid outfit always clean and wrinkle free, her hair always up, and no glasses. Her eyes were so beautiful that I could not understand why Ciel would want to hide it with those hideous glasses that always cracks. Her eyes connect with mine with a bit of softness. I open the door wide for her, allowing her to enter. She bowed and entered the room, heading straight towards the closet to pick out a green dress with brown boots and a blue tie. Obviously trying to have me matching with Ciel.

I suppose Ciel is awake and eating already.

"A t-shirt again my lady. You do know that is very unlady like to do it here?" Meyrin starts up the conversation.

My reply was only a simple I know and closing the door after watching her pick out my clothes for the day. Meyrin has asked me that question for the thousands time. I know that it is disrespectful of a lady to show her bare legs. If it was shown for a lady to show any skin in public, she would be considered a prostitute or a slut. It does not matter the age for women. Meyrin tries her hardest to get me to wear a nightgown but I get so hot and it is uncomfortable for skin.

"How are your eyes Meyrin?" I ask changing the subject.

She looks up at me with a small smile replying, "They are perfectly fine. I take them off at night as ordered madam."

Even though she follow my orders. It does not change that Sebastian has more control of her than I do. He is the head servant and can order my maid to do as he wishes. This annoys me but slightly my fault since it was also my decision for him to be the head. She puts on my clothes, hair brushed, tied into big tails, and curls on the bottom ends of my hair. My hair was ridiculous long because Ciel refused for me to cut my hair.

"Finish my lady," She says stepping back.

I looked at my reflection satisfied with the results she has made. She always did a good job with my hair.

"It's time to eat my lady," Meyrin stated, bowing.

She opens the door for me. I exit out the room walking down stairs with Meyrin behind. Before she open the door to the dining room, she pulled out her glasses and put them back on. Meyrin must have noticed my disappointment in those glass.

"Forgive me my lady, but it was Ciel who gave it to me," She tries to explain.

I raised my hand stopping her from explaining any further, "I understand Meyrin. I hate those glasses that can damage your eyes."

"I understand mistress," She looks down sadly.

In seconds, she returned to the familiar Meyrin that everyone knows. She opens the door for me to enter. My eyes scanned the room to see Ciel, Finny and Bard. Ciel was eating at the very end of the table and their was a plate next to him. That was my spot that I would always sit every morning.

"Good morning Mistress!" Bard and Finny shouted happily.

I smiled gently to them, nodding my head in greeting. I walked over to Ciel to kiss him on the cheek as our usual greeting.

"Good morning Raven," Ciel greeted, not connecting his eyes with me.

"Good morning big brother," I sit on my spot on the table to begin eating Sebastian's wonderful cooking skills.

My name is Raven Phantomhive. The youngest and only daughter to the Racheal and Vincent Phantomhive. I was suppose to be remain secret from the public. Unfortunately, unfortunate circumstance made my presence known to London of my existence.

My eyes took notice of Finny continuously rubbing his head with dry tears at the corner of his eyes. Finny is our gardener. The poor boy was found by Sebastian. He was experimented on to reveal of his incredible strength. Then, there was Bard. His knowledge on weapons and explosives is quite impressive. He was in the war and seem to be the only survive. Unfortunately, he is known as the chef in this building. The man cannot cook because he will explode everything.

My gaze went to Ciel as he read the papers and ate one of his scones. Sebastian storms in the room with the doors connecting the wall, giving a loud bang. I will admit that he is a handsome man. He can make any girl beg to his whim. He was staring at the three servants with anger.

"Finny has the weeding been done in the inner garden? Meyrin have the sheets been washed? Bard, were you not supposed to be preparing tonight's dinner?" All of his questions made them flinch and sweat drop, "Tanaka..." He glance at Tanaka drinking his tea. He sighs letting him do as he wishes to look back at the three, "If you have to be lazing around. Get back to work!" He shouts having Meyrin, Bard, and Finny run out of the door.

Meyrin runs past me for me to stare at her back. This is an example of when Sebastian can command my maid to do something. I sighed sadly for Ciel to chuckle at my expression. He knows how much I dislike Sebastian ordering my personal maid, because it is always a game between us. Sebastian always win, meaning Ciel always win. I heard Ciel's chuckle to cross my arms and puff my cheeks.

"Come now sister. Do not get so upset over something that I always win at," Ciel sarcastically says.

"Its the fact that you always wins that makes me upset. It's not fair Ciel. You always win," I replied, acting like the bratty sister.

Ciel continues to chuckle at my bratty attitude to stand up and kiss my cheek. Even with his short temper, he always seems to be patient with my bratty side. After all, we went through that horrible experience. We are all that we have now.

"As much as I enjoy seeing this childish side of you sister. I do have work that must be done. Be good and finish your own paperwork," Ciel suggested, walking out of the room.

I stand up flabbergasted at how he is treating me shouting, "I'm not a doll Ciel! Stop acting like your so much better me!"

The only response I got was Ciel's laughter in the hallways. Ciel has left me in the room with Sebastian. Unlike Ciel, I don't order Sebastian as much as he does. My reasoning is working hard by yourself without having others do that for me. It was thanks to one of my Aunts that had me believe in those reasoning. My thoughts were interrupted when I took notice of Ciel's empty plate and messy at that too.

I put hands on my hips in disappointment, "Ciel made such a big mess. Unbelievable," I spoke to myself to clean up his side. "He is suppose to be the Earl Phantomhive but is a messy eater."

A gloved hand stopped me from grabbing another plate to look up at the owner. He had a closed eye smile while speaking to me in a soft, angelic voice.

"My lady, you do not need to get your hands dirty. Let me take care of this mess."

My eyes widen as I quickly removed my hand from his hold. The hand he was touching felt like it was burning and it was getting warmer the more he touched it. I looked away from his shock expression.

"Of course. My apologize Sebastian. I'll be off then so you may do your job," I responded to run out of the room. "Call me if I'm needed for something."

I run off to my study room and slammed the door behind me to take a relief breathe. His touches felt weird under my skin. My body would shiver and my heart would beat at a fast pace. I couldn't understand it but I know for certain that I am not attractive to him. He must be doing something.

Why does he always do that?

As the clock kept ticking, I did some of the paper work that was giving to me. My eyes were starting to hurt from reading so many papers. I stretch my soar muscles and stand up taking a break from these papers. I looked out my window to see the beautiful blue sky and the birds flying.

So pretty...

My expression sadden as memories of screams, flames, and the amount of tears that was shed on that day.

"It's been three years..." I whispered to myself, "I can still remember the smell, Ciel's scream, the heat, the building crumbling... Ciel..."

I closed my eyes remembering Ciel and I holding hands on that cold day, shouting and screaming, reaching for someone to save us, and meeting... him. His signature smirk and his pink eyes staring right at me. Those eyes... those eyes that are coming closer and closer...

"My lady."

A knock at my door stopped me from going further to my thoughts. I stared at the door, unsure if someone was actually talking.

"My lady."

I walked towards the door opening it, seeing Sebastian with a smile on his face and showing a tea cart. "I've prepared tea for you mi'lady. Have you finished your work?"

I shook my head to smile softly in return, "I was only taking a small break. I was hoping to see the garden."

Sebastian look sad at my response to sigh and rub his head, "I apologize. But now isn't a good time to see the garden. Finnian has made a mess with the garden. And your brother is with our guest currently."

"Oh, is Ciel okay?" I asked, tilting my head with my hair swaying with the movement.

Sebastian was preparing tea while in the hallway as I realized that I didn't have him enter the room. I moved out of the way and open the door a bit wider. He moved the cart inside, closing the door after he enters.

"It appears that your brother and Sir Clause..."

I interrupted for my voice to go into high pitch from happiness smiling widely, "Clause is here?!"

Sebastian was taken by surprise from my abrupt leaving of the room and enter the courtyard to see Ciel and Clause. They both took notice of me for Clause to smile widely and rush over to give me a hug.

"Raven! My girl! It has been a long time. Look at how much you have grown," Clause commented.

I giggled, embarrassed and appreciative of the compliment replying, "Thank you Clause. It has been a while. Ciel is so mean. He hasn't told me that you were arriving today. I was told my servant moments ago."

Clause and I both looked at Ciel for he looked away from us sweating. He knew what he has done and knew that I wouldn't be happy about it. Luckily Sebastian isn't a liar and can't keep secrets from me, his other master.

"Ciel, you and I will have talk later about this but right now," I focused on Clause to smile widely, "You have to tell me everything about your travels. You promised the next time you would visit."

Clause was full of laughter as he proceed to talk and was a gentlemen to have me sit to my familiar spot with Ciel.

After our talk Sebastian began the food. It seemed like today was going to be Japanese food. Dinner today is Donburi. Sebastian was being over exaggerating with the food by telling the story of Donburi, and seeing Clause expression made everything worth it. I chuckled happily from Clause happiness from eating something besides Italian food. The food was delicious.

I continue eating my food to distract myself from the things going around me, but ears picked up on Meyrin heavy breathing. She was walking weirdly and the wine she was carrying was spilling on the table cloth. I was going to stop her but Sebastian took action more quickly. He quickly removed the table cloth without Clause noticed and no spill on his clothing. The only way to notice that the table cloth was removed without thinking it was your imagination is the feel of the wind or the water swaying slightly. Clause stopped his eating to take of the table looking different.

"Where did the table cloth?" Clause asked surprised.

"There was a small stain on the cloth, so I had it removed. Please don't pay mind to it," Ciel replies with a smirk on his face.

"I am sorry to have disturbed you. Please enjoy your meal to your leisure," Sebastian bows apologetically.

"I must say, your butler is quite skillful," Clause compliment.

Ciel chuckle, "Skillful?" He smirked to look at Clause, "Since he is my servant, it's only natural for him to able to do that sort of thing."

Clause laughed, "That's so strict. But surely in England, even if you're strict to that extent, the extraordinary talent he possesses should certainly still be there, correct?" He ask.

"Naturally. But I didn't hire him just for the food," Ciel replied, confusing his guest. "I... I still haven't tasted sweets more delicious that Sebastian's."

I smiled at his response for the desert to arrive quickly. The dinner was a success and seeing Clause was great but... My eyes took notice of a shadow figure on the roof of our manor and quickly vanish before Sebastian can notice.

After Dinner

Ciel and Clause continued talking but I took my leaving by giving Ciel a kiss on his cheek and one last hug to Clause. I entered my study room to see that the moon was shinning on a letter on my desk. My eyes narrowed to grab hold of the letter, undoing the seal, and reading the paper. Every word had my anger rise more and more, and feeling my eyes burn. I ripped the letter into scraps and walk towards the window, facing my reflection. My normal navy blue eyes became a darker shade.

Honestly, these reapers are becoming more destructive and careless as the days goes on.

I stared up at the moon with a dark smirk on my face.

"Prepare for the punishment you are going to have. My reaper in bloody red. Grell Sutcliff."

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. For some of you that have read the old story, you can obviously tell that I dramatically changed the story, and hopefully I improved as well. I'm gonna have this story seem like a mystery for how she got in the world of the Kuroshitsuji.

Also, I am going to change Meyrin when she is with Raven. As I'm watching the anime again. I honestly love Meyrin. She is just adorable, sweet, and so funny. I mean, who wouldn't want an assassin as there personal maid. That is so cool right? Please forgive me if you guys are huge fans of Meyrin and dislike this new look of Meyrin to Raven.

Until Next Time
