(Chapter 3/ A New Home)
In old Victorian London on a rainy day a little 12 year old girl laid asleep on the cold ground in side an abandon alleyway, a couple walked by noticing her.
The woman ran to help the child before her husband took off his coat, putting it on the child. The man picked up the girl as his wife held their umbrella above them, looking at each other worried but with also hope in their eyes.
The couple brought the child home with them, putting her in a spare bedroom that was upstairs of their home before they decided to keep her as the couple had wanted a child so much praying to god. They took the girl as a blessing.
The wife watched the little girl the whole night lovingly before her husband made her sneaked into the room looking down on the child curiously.
The shadow crept closer to the girl before the husband of the wife walked in to find the shadow a foot away from touching his new child and threw the prayer beads around his neck at it yelling in some enchant language defensively.
The shadow screeched before escaping out the rooms window into the stormy night sky and the husband breathing a sigh of relief sat down at the end of the girls bed, pulling a loss hair behind her ear.
"I shall protect you from this worlds evil demons..." He whispered before blowing out the candle he had been holding to see and left for his room to sleep.
The girl slowly opened her eyes to find her self in a comfy bed and no memory of her past before slowly turning to her side to go into a deeper sleep.
The next day the little girl woke up wondering where she was and divided to leave her room to explore before she stubby led upon a couple in the living room where they we're having tea.
They smiled down at her before asking her to come sit with them which she did and they explained what had happened to her. She told them her loss in memory before they told her she was their daughter now which she did not mind.
The girl found out that her new mom was named Karen and her new dad was john but she loved her new last name which was stream.
She was later taken shopping by Karen to get new clothes as she had none before john showed her where he worked.
John worked at the lid an police force as a detective and the girl found it interesting how he would solve stuff so easily.
After three weeks with her new family she finally remembered something tho it was only her name it was something and she wore it with pride.
Her name was Emily Steam now and she liked it as in some way she felt like she never had the warmth of a family before and now she did. Her father put her into school which she succeeded in pleasing her parents and made a friend named Ceil phantomhive.
Emily had told him his name was strange as he said hers was stupid and they grinned at each other before a strong friendship was bored.
Emily felt that something about Ceil that was familiar but could not put her finger on it so shock the thoughts away.
After a year or so on Emily's so called birthday, she had just turned 13 when she had the stairs incident.
It happened as one of Emily's step mothers friends asked Emily to take down the some plates cause everyone was busy getting the party together when Emily slipped on the second step of the stair case, falling and landing on her head at the bottom of the stairs.
Emily was rushed to the hospital the same day and had been in a coma for half a year but during that year Ceil would visit her sometimes with his parents or alone until the night his parents were murdered and he did a contract with sabastion.
Ceil tried to get sabastion to heal Emily but sabastion told him even he could not wake her so Ceil continued his visits for the past year before he came back to his manner, but on one morning a little girl woke up.
Emily's eyes scanned the room in a panicky way as if something or someone was going to come for her before finding out that she was okay and calmed down a bit. she remembered her memory's with her new family and her past ones...
The fall to the head had hit something in her to cause her blocked memory's to come flooding back harshly causing her to scream in agony clutching her head desperately praying for her pain to go away as nurses rushed in to help her as fast as they could before she passed out again.
"Em... Emi... EMILY!" Emily shot right up in the bed she was laying on in fright as someone shouted her name annoyingly before being crushed into a hug by ceil but then it hit her.
The thing that was bugging her about him and her family, she was in black butler. Suddenly Emily felt like fainting as her eyes rolled back finding it hard to breath before she heard a deep rich voice warn Ceil. "My lord, would it not be wise to hold the miss, Emily so tightly right after she already escaped death once?"
Ceil let go of Emily as if she had burned him and worriedly looked at her, looking if he had hurt her.
"It's okay Ceil stop being a worry wort!" Emily chuckled, patting his head smiling at him before trying to get up, feeling only a bit dizzy but okay mostly. She felt her cold walls of numbness come down around Ceil and her new parents as Emily knew this was a new start for her, mentally thanking Luke.
Ceil decided To take Emily home to his place instead, saying it was the safest place for her with Jack the Ripper about causing Emily to pretend like she hadn't a clue to what he was talking about but mentally really wanted to meet Grell. Ceil noticed your clueless look before sighing stressfully "oh, right you would not know since you have been in a coma for a year now"
Ceil explained what had happen while she was asleep and Emily felt heart broken hearing about his parents before just plain hugging him softly which he let her do until they got to his home.
"This shall be your new home for the moment I hope you enjoy your stay at the Phantomhive manor" sabastion said most ironing towards the Phantomhive estate with his hand before bowing to Emily who wanted to squeal like a little girl but kept a cool face thanking him.
"I'm sure I will, thank you"
