Chapter 2- I knew it!
I got a bit excited and wrote 2 chapters. Well better for you guys because you can read my wonderful creation (jokes). Anyway, if you haven't figured it out this is going to be OCXSebastian fanfic. Although it might change….
I DO NOT OWN KUROSHITSUJI!
"Miss Alice please wake up," a soothing yet masculine voice called out as I grumbled, "NO, not yet…"
"That wasn't a suggestion, more like a gentle order," it said again, as someone picked me out of the bed and carried me underneath his or her shoulder. "Grell! Drop me!" I yell and squirm. I peer up to see Sebastian instead.
"HUH? Sebastian? What are you doing in Madame Red's house?" I ask as he looked down at me, "You are at the Phantomhive manor. You fell asleep last night and Madame didn't want to take you home because she was didn't want to wake you. So I carried you to this spare room," Sebastian explains as he finally puts me down.
As we walked towards the dining room, Mey-Rin the maid ran around like a mad woman, carrying a stack of dishes. She trips. Sebastian scolds her after catching all the plates, no human can do that, hm…
We walk past a window to see Finny; the gardener obliterating the roses but Sebastian doesn't stop it. As we reach the dining room, a large explosion which caused an earthquake shook the whole mansion. Must be Bard the chef who I believe is very impatient…?
We arrived in a magnificent dining room. Ciel sat at the far end, sipping on his cup of tea while eating some scones. Sebastian made me sit at the opposite end, "Would you like some-"Sebastian was interrupted by a large BANG!
"CIEL~" a sweet voice called out as a blonde girl in a flashy pink dress ran in like a blur. She cuddled Ciel as he sweat dropped. "Lizzy what are you doing here?" Ciel asked as she finally let go of him. "What? Since I'm your fiancé I have to see you as often as possible!" Lizzy said as she danced around. She looked at me and tilted her head. "Ciel, who is this?" Lizzy asked as he sighed but Sebastian replied instead, "This is Alice; she is Madame Red's adoptive daughter."
"Oh, I see. She's so…so…so…..CUTE!" Lizzy squealed as she ran up to me and hugged me so hard, I could feel my insides in my mouth, "Poor thing, your clothing is a mess, you look horrible…" she looks at me with sympathetic eyes, "I'll have the privilege of dressing you up!" she continues as she drags me away to a room with her maid or something with her. "I'm going to turn you into a princess!" she cries out with excitement. I call out behind me, "Sebastian, Ciel help!" Ciel continues to sip his tea and Sebastian just sighs, "have fun, I look forward to it!" Sebastian sighs as we disappear around the corner.
So I'm stuck in a room with a psychotic kid who's obsessed with cute stuff, just great… I sweat dropped as I sat there with a bright blue dress and two pig tails on the side of my head. "WOW! So cute! Let's go show Ciel!" she grins as she drags me out to Ciel's office. "Ciel~ look at Alice, isn't she so cute?" Lizzy squeals as she bursts into Ciel's office and he glances up to look at me. His eyes bulge and his mouth drops as he tries to contain his shock. Sebastian tries hard to hide his laughter but I could definitely hear it.
"Ok, I get it! I don't suit things like this but you didn't need to look like that or laugh!" I yell as I plonk myself on the couch. "Ciel~ she looks cute though right?" Lizzy said trying to make me feel better. "It's alright, besides I'm a street rat. Elegant and cute clothing don't suit me. I'm going to change." I said avoiding any eye contact as I walk out the room.
After changing into a shirt and pants, I heard Madame Red's voice as I walked out my room. "So tonight is the night we go to the Viscount Druitt's party," she laughs as I sensed that I should get to the room or I'll miss my chance to see something amazing. I rush in as I say, "I want to go too! Let me help with this, please. I'm pretty skilled at trickery; after all I used to be a street rat." Everyone stares at me as Madame says, "Why of course, I was planning on showing you off! Come, let me get your dress and while I'm at it, I'll get Ciel's too." I looked at her confused, "Ciel?" I ask as she pushes me into a room. Two beautiful dresses lay on the bed, perfectly ironed and sparkling with cleanliness. "We plan to dress Ciel up as a girl to trick the Viscount and allowing him take Ciel so we can catch the Viscount red handed in his acts," she smiles as she picks up a cream coloured dress which matched my tanned skin tone.
The dress was gorgeous. Elaborate stitches danced around the dress which shone under light. My shoulders were in full view and ruffles exploded at my elbows where the sleeves ended. A large rose made of silk hung on the right side of my hip with lace drifting from the rose. A choker to match the dress lay on the bed. Obviously it was another silk rose. Then an evil glint in Madame's eyes shone as she pulled out my worst fear.
A corset.
I look at her and plead with my eyes, "Madame, have mercy!" I yell as I run to the other side of the room. "Now, now darling. Even though you have a waist most women would kill you for, it has to be a tad bit smaller. Now if you would come here, we can do this the easy way, or would you prefer the hard way?" she smirked as I made my way back to her.
"There, it doesn't feel too bad right?" Madame smiles, looking satisfied as I gasp for air. "I thought you said a tad smaller," I managed to say. She shrugs, "what are you talking about? This is a tad smaller." I finally put on the dress. It made me feel very rich. Not only that but when I looked in the mirror, OMG, I did look like a princess, Sam would be so jealous right now… I looked down at my feet, feeling the sadness rush up again but I managed to keep it down. The past is best in the past and it's time to look to the future! I didn't even recognise myself. "Madame, who is this in the mirror? Cause it can't be me," I gasp, I look so mature and happy. "Why it's you of course, now come on, it's Ciel's turn," she says, a dark aura surrounds her as she picks up the other dress and leaves with me following her.
Ciel was in his office waiting as I walked in. Everyone stared. "You look lovely Miss Alice," Sebastian says quite shocked. "Indeed," Lau says as he looks at me with this look which makes me pissed off. "Well unfortunately, I don't feel as good as I look," I gasp for air. "Ciel~ it's your turn!" Madame said as she and Sebastian go to his room.
A little while after, they come back and I couldn't hold in my laughter as I see something truly amazing. Ciel walks in wearing a gorgeous pink dress and a top hat surrounded by pink roses. He wore a wig which was tied into two pony tails coming from both sides of his head. A long fringe and the hat covered his right eye. Ciel did not look happy at all.
I point at him and laugh,
"HAHAHA! He looks more like a girl than I do!"
"Alright, let's go or we'll be late. After this, I'm going to kill them both," he grumbles and glares at Madame Red, Sebastian and I as we walk to the carriage waiting outside.
After a short carriage ride, we reached the Viscount's manor, and damn it was nice.
We arrived and it was very crowded. So this is what rich people do… I thought as I stood close to Madame who was obviously wearing red. Sebastian came as Ciel's tutor, Lau was Madame's lover, Ciel is her niece, I am her daughter of course and poor Grell is still just a butler. "I definitely don't want my fiancé to see me like this," Ciel says as we hear a very familiar voice behind us.
"what pretty dresses those girls are wearing~" she squeals as I turn to see her coming towards us. "Guys! She's right behind us, do something!" I said desperately. "Come this way my ladies," Sebastian says as he takes us to the table with the huge cake and we hide behind it. After, Elizabeth finally walks away. "Guys, isn't that the Viscount?" I ask as a young man with very shiny blond hair holding a Champaign glass and wearing pure white. It hurt my eyes. All the women around me started blushing and whispering. All I thought was how painful it was to look at him.
"Sebastian, Lizzy's coming again, to the left," I say as I walk off into the crowd and dance with a decent and friendly gentleman. In the corner of my eye, Sebastian and Ciel also join the dance. I know how to dance because when I went around stealing, once I happened to get lost and walk into a manor while there was a grand ball or something. I learnt by watching and not only that but Madame and Grell trained me. Suddenly I bump into Ciel and we both fall over. Sebastian apologises to the other man and he walks off.
"So I'm guessing you slipped away?" I asked laughing as my legs are so tired from dancing.
Clap…Clap…Clap…
We both turn as a man stood over us, "Quite fascinating, two wonderful dancers. Young ladies…" Viscount Druitt smiles at us. "My ladies, I shall come back with drinks," Sebastian said as she walks off, leaving Ciel and I with this eye sore.
Ciel replies, "I'm happy to receive your praise." He gets really close to Ciel and kisses his hand then mine.
"Who did you two come with?" he asks.
"Aunt Angelina!"
"Mother-"
Ciel and I say at the same time. "Oh, Madame Red has a daughter? What's your name?" the Viscount asks his voice like silk. It made me feel sick. "Yes, I'm her daughter. My name is Alice," I reply forcing a smile. He looks at me and glances down to my breasts. "So are you enjoying yourself?" he asks still glancing. I try to ignore him and turn to see Sebastian glancing this way. It was like he was listening in on our conversation. He can't actually hear. It's impossible over this loud music I thought as I turn back to the Viscount who finally stopped looking.
"It is very impressive, however we've wanted to speak with you Viscount," Ciel says to the Viscount's surprise. "I'm tired of the dancing and dining," Ciel says as I nod in agreement. "Oh…you are quite stubborn, little robin," he said putting his hand on Ciel's waist, "you wish me to do more pleasurable things?" he asks whispering into Ciel's ear as he ran his hand up Ciel's waist. I could tell, Ciel was very uncomfortable and wanted to punch him. I giggled as Ciel's distraught face changed to something like remembering the pain he went through when Sebastian and Madame trained him to be a lady. "You know more pleasurable things?" Ciel asks as the Viscount grabs his chin and gazes into his eyes, "Of course! You're cries would be very sweet little robin~" Ciel erupts with sheer madness. In the inside of course. The look on his face right now was priceless.
He turns and spots something. He mouthed Lizzy to me and I nod. "I really want to know," Ciel says, trying to hurry it up before Lizzy arrives. "For you it might be too early but Alice is already a lady, correct?" he looks at me and I force another smile. "Yes, 16 years," I reply. "I am a lady too," Ciel quickly replies as at this point, I can also see Lizzy.
The Viscount pauses and I close my eyes as Lizzy is now incredibly close.
Suddenly Sebastian appears with a large cabinet. "This is the peak of tonight so I shall perform a magic trick with this cupboard… this gentleman here," he says pointing at Lau, "can you assist me?"
Lau replies, "why of course!"
"This is an ordinary cupboard, and I will now enter it," Sebastian continues.
"I don't remember arranging a performance," the Viscount said looking very confused as Ciel and I exchange looks. "I'm tired of shows like this, so can we go now?" I ask as he replies with a flick of his hair, "I understand." Close call I thought and Ciel and I go through a door behind the curtain with the Viscount.
We arrived into a room which stank of something sweet. I suddenly felt light headed as I collapsed and blacked out. I believe Ciel did as well because I woke up tied up and blind folded. I tried to feel around to see if I could identify where I was. I pressed against something cold and familiar. A cage! Again. Seriously in my life time, how many cages am I going to be in? I growled as the Viscount spoke.
"Ladies and gentleman, the next item everyone has been anticipating for. Please look carefully," he quietened as with a blur, it suddenly got brighter. "You may choose to keep these two in their cages, or play with them as much as you wish. Or… you can use them in a ceremony or sell their parts," the Viscount continued. I growled in disgust. "Wha…" a voice, Ciel?
"These are very hard to get items. We'll start with this one," his voice got closer. He must be talking about me. "This one has eyes which have a beautiful glow and the colour of the most beautiful scarlet eyes which display a mature and fierce nature. Splendid pink hair like the cherry blossoms in full bloom. A waist, any women would be jealous of and skin like porcelain. Womanly curves and a very beautiful voice." He says as I scoff in disgust. He's trying to sell me. Wait until I get out of this cage. I'll beat him to a pulp!
"We shall start bidding at 2000," he finally stops talking as other voices appeared, calling out numbers. Someone took off my blind fold and I opened my eyes. Everyone looked at me with awe. My eyes aren't that special… I thought as now nearly everyone started to place a bid. "10,000 it is. We will hold that as we unravel the other one now," he said as he flips the cloth off the other cage to reveal Ciel.
He went on explaining Ciel's body as the bid started. An assistant took off Ciel's blindfold to reveal both eyes. I gasped as I thought I knew it. Ciel and Sebastian have made a contract with each other. Sebastian is a demon… On Ciel's right eye was a symbol which symbolises a contract made with a demon. He looks at me and nods as I get ready to leave. "Sebastian, I'm here," he says as the candles start to go out. I finally managed to undo the rope around my wrists and using a clip from my hair, I unlock the cage and get out.
"What happened?" the Viscount said sounding very surprised. This is my chance to beat the heck out of that guy I smiled as I found him. Even though it is dark, I can see like it is in the day. Where the bidders were, there were sounds of pain as I knocked out the Viscount and stomped on his head. "That'll teach you to mess with me and Ciel," I nod with satisfaction as I kick him one more time. The lights came back on and Sebastian stood there. "HA! I knew you weren't a normal butler! You're a demon," I smile as I went up to Ciel's cage and unlocked it for him to get out, "it was sort of obvious. I'm not sure how the others don't know."
Sebastian smiles at me, "you're a very perceptive one you know." Ciel glares at him, "guess we don't have to hide it from you anymore. Since you know, it's also your responsibility to make sure others don't," Ciel said with a very calm and dignified tone. "Anyway, the Jack the Ripper case is solved, looks like the police are already here," Ciel said as the police called out from behind the door.
"We shall now leave," Sebastian said, as he carried Ciel and I over his shoulder and jumped across the roof tops.
"What's he meaning of this?" Ciel yells as he slams his hands on the table, glaring at the newspaper which said:
Jack the Ripper returns
Victim: Annie Shepherman
Another prostitute sacrificed
"So it wasn't that perv, the Viscount?" I ask as we all sigh. Madame appeared with a chess board and offered to play with Ciel. I watch. Grell makes us tea as we all exchange looks and Madame yells at the top of her voice, "THIS TASTES BAD! Why does this tea taste so salty? And you call yourself a butler?" I sigh as Ciel stops drinking his but to make him feel good I finish my cup. "Miss Alice, it didn't taste that bad right?" Grell asks me with pure anticipation and hope in his eyes. "Um…it's ok I guess," I reply as he hugs me.
Ciel ends the game, "Checkmate…" Madame sighs as she scratches her head, "Ah this makes 46 consecutive losses." Ciel says good night and kisses her on the cheek. "Oi, butler! Don't let Ciel lose his way and always be by his side," Madame said, "also take Alice to her room." Sebastian kneels as he replies, "Of course," and leads me out the office.
"Thanks Sebastian," I call out as he tucks me into bed. He pauses as he sniffs me. I went bright red. "What the hell are you doing? That's weird, even for a demon," I cover myself with the bed sheets. He pats my head and turns to leave the room, "you smell delicious," I blush and throw a pillow at him, but he catches it with ease and returns it to me, "Goodnight Miss Alice," I pull the blanket over myself, "Night Sebastian."
The next morning, I ask where Madame was, only to have Ciel reply, calmly I might add, "She's dead. A Grim reaper killed her. Both Madame Red and Grell were Jack the Ripper."
I looked shocked as I collapse to the ground, tears running down my face, "What?! She saved me and I-I-I…" I didn't finish my sentence as Sebastian comes up to me. "There, there. There will be a funeral for her in two days, we were there when she died and her last words were to take you under our care," Sebastian helps me get up as I nod, still crying.
~two days later~
Lizzy and everyone was here except Ciel and Sebastian. I came here with Lizzy because Ciel said he needed to go get something. Madame Red or should I say Mother lay wearing a plain white dress surrounded by white roses. I couldn't even cry anymore. Suddenly Ciel and Sebastian arrive with a crimson dress. No way! So that's what he went to get...typical Ciel!
Everyone looked very surprised as he went up to mum. "These white flowers and plain clothes don't suit you, what suits you is a passionate red," Ciel said as he placed the dress on top of her and presses his forehead against hers. Red rose petals fell from the sky and filled the entire church. It was a very beautiful sight and one I would never forget. I walked up to Ciel and looked down at the most beautiful mother I could ever wish for, "Rest in Peace, Madame Red, no, mother…" I say.
"Many months passed the day you saved me and I thank you mother for saving me and please continue to look after me," I said as I placed a bunch of red roses onto her grave.
I returned home to find Sebastian at the door. "Since you are going to live here, I believe you are going to have to earn your keep. You will work here as a maid like Mey-Rin so if there is anything you want to know or ask, please ask either myself or Mey-Rin," Sebastian said as Mey-Rin lent me her spare maid uniform. Surprisingly it fit but it was a bit long because I wasn't as tall as Mey-Rin was.
I literally did nothing but correct and help Mey-Rin because the poor thing was terribly far sighted and her glasses were useless but she refused to replace them, "No, these glasses were given to me from the young Master and I will treasure these!" she says as I sigh and we both get on with our work.
That night, Sebastian and I bumped into each other. He held my wrist and slammed me into the wall. His eyes glowed and it felt like the predator had just caught his prey. "Yes? Is there something wrong?" I smiled trying to make it look like I wasn't affected by him.
"Nothing," he paused then his face got incredibly close and something warm and wet slid up my cheek. "Argh!" I jump with surprise and land on my butt, "DID YOU JUST LICK ME? COME BACK HERE AND LET ME PUNCH YOU! PERV, WEIRDO, DEMON!" I yell as it only made him smirk, I looked away to avoid his gaze because I knew if I looked I would be ensnared in his dangerous trap, "You had sauce on you; I didn't want to see it wasted."
I snarled at him and wiped my face where he licked me. "You could have told me, I would have wiped it off," he smiled and walked off, "It was more fun this way though," he said, looking back to see me stand there with my back to him. Are all demons like him? I sighed and walked into my room. I lay on my bed, wondering, Grell being a Grim reaper huh? Wonder if Madame Red knew that? oh well, past is in the past and I'm looking only to the future.
