Chapter 3: Jared and June

Elyanna was in a room that looked like a huge chessboard and there were even huge chess pieces, there were no windows but it was bright with a nice light like the moon, at that moment she was leaning against an enormous black queen. He did not know how he had gotten there even though the truth did not matter to him since he felt very much like it in that place.

"Diane" someone called her

"Don't call me that!" That was never my name" the girl with blue eyes replied

"Diane"

"I told them not to call me that ... I'm Elyanna now"

"Diane, my daughter"

"Enough!"

The moment Elyanna turned to see who persistently called her Diana was when he saw them, their biological parents, the Phantomhives, who looked at her with much affection. From the impression the young countess jumped up and approached them, to her parents who did not raise her and who only she knew for photos and portraits. When he approached his real parents enough, his mother, Rachel Phantomhive, stroked his cheeks and his father, Vincent Phantomhive, put his hand on his shoulder. They both looked at her with a look of tenderness as they sure looked at Ciel when he was child.

"Susan"

Elyanna knew that voice, it was Mrs. Flynn's voice, Elyanna turned around and saw Mrs. Flynn, or Mama Flynn as she called her when she was little, she left her parents and went with Mrs. Flynn the woman who I raised and taught him everything I needed to know.

"Diane" her parents called her

"Susan," Mrs. Flynn called her

Thus Elyanna Popplewell was between her biological parents and her adoptive mother. It was there when he woke up. Elyanna did not know how she could dream of such a thing, but she had to prepare herself, since that day would have visitors, her twin brother.

Ciel and Sebastian went to the Broderick mansion with them also came Diederich, who had insisted on coming from the moment he saw Demian in the eyes felt that Emma Broderick looked in the eyes and wanted to know more about him also Ciel. The subject that interested him to know more to Ciel was to know who Damien Broderick was indeed and also his girlfriend, the beautiful Elyanna, the most enigmatic girl that had known but it liked to look at it. Tanaka came too. When they arrived they saw the imposing Broderick mansion: as it was the property of a noble family, the mansion enjoyed a large size, consisting of several acres of property and a large garden, the style of architecture was a mixture of Gothic and Elizabethan, the walls were made of a brick-like material giving it an imposing as well as resilient appearance, it seemed to have more of a fireplace and its ceilings were red brick; That was the Broderick mansion. At the doors of the mansion were twins, boy and girl, who should receive them. Both had green hair, golden eyes and were so pale that they seemed to be made of porcelain. When they saw the four guests bowed in greeting.

"We welcome you to Broderick Mansion" the girl said

"Our masters, welcome them through us" the boy said

"My name is Gumiho" the girl appeared

"My name is Minho "the boy appeared

"Please, follow us," the twins said

"And I thought your servants were rare" Diederich said

Suddenly Sebastian noticed that something was lurking around the gardens of the mansion, Ciel saw that look in the eyes of his butler and knew that he had found something in those beautiful gardens, perhaps one of the secrets of Damien Broderick, that creature apparently He felt uncomfortable and ran along an uncertain path, quickly Sebastian ran after the creature and caught it but it was not a strange creature or a secret that Count Broderick tried to hide but a cat, an unusual one: it resembled a lynx though was smaller, had a robust build, the tail was not very long (less than 30 cm) and the color of the coat varied between reddish and orange, its long ears had black tufts, very short, had no spots or streaks of any Type and the belly is white. It was a caracal cat, a wild cat that was easy to tame and was very popular as a pet among the upper classes, it was Lady Popplewell's cat. The demon butler was amazed by the cat's wild beauty, him orange fur, him soft legs, and him beautiful green eyes. Ciel was annoyed by the behavior of his stupid butler so much that he did not notice the other blond butler approaching.

"Now I understand why you're not with my sister anymore "blond butler said

Sebastian recognized the voice and looked up, and saw Sisyphus, also saw those penetrating orange eyes that were similar to those of Pandora. For his part Ciel had heard what the blond butler said and was surprised. Did they know each other? Why did not Sebastian say anything? For his part Sebastian did not say anything and only released the cat when scratched him. Sisyphus, the butler of the Broderick mansion, took them to the living room of the Broderick mansion. Damien and Elyanna were waiting for them when they entered the room. Seeing him, Ciel felt that he wanted to know who he really was, it was obvious that he kept secrets and was going to find out to see if he was worthy to serve the queen. Damien greeted them politely as Elyanna giggled at the sight of them.

"Welcome to my home, I hope you had a good trip" Damien said

"We had it" replied Ciel.

"You have very strange servants, you boy" Diederich added

"Do you think so?" Damien sketched a smile "they are like that, I cannot change them but we go to what we came. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"About you," Ciel said.

"I expected it" Damien replied quietly.

Elyanna said nothing, she only remained silent and calm as she examined everything and all with her eyes while Sisyphus served the tea, was one of many things she had learned as the muse Euterpe and never hesitated to put it into practice; If Ciel wanted to know who Damien really was, she wanted to know who was Ciel (his own brother) and also the fat Diederich, managed to recognize it and had to endure the laughter to see him so fat, she only saw him for a few minutes when he was 8 years-old; however, she and Damien must watch him. On the other hand, Ciel told to Damien everything that had investigated of him, the little that had obtained thanks to Sisyphus and Pandora didn't allow him, Damien was listening him and he smiled amusing, Ciel was some interesting and somehow reminded to him to His sister Elyanna but the Watchdog had thrown his letters was the lion to make his game.

"Everything you say is true. I was born in Kenya, but that does not make me less noble or less English, besides it is not a crime that is be born in a colony" Damien sipping a sip of tea said

"No, it is not, although nothing is known of your mother"

"She was a reserved woman"

"Neither did he marry your father"

Damien put the tea cup on the coffee table and closed his eyes, that comment had hurt him a lot, Damien knew from a very young age his condition of bastard although his parents never told him, but he knew it; However, he was not going to show his weaknesses and fears to someone like Earl Phantomhive, he is a Broderick and the Brodericks were proud. Damien settled into his seat and sighed.

"Oh, that theme, I can say yes and no"

"How?"

"My parents did not marry under English law, so I am a bastard in the eyes of the laws of this country even though my parents married under Masai rites; it's funny, I'm a bastard here but for the Masais I am not. What do you think, Elyanna?"

"Life and society are ridiculous," Elyanna said, taking her fiance's hand.

"Masai rites?" Ciel surprised asked

"Even though it sounds strange, it was, but I am still a Broderick and the legitimate heir of the Broderick family, I am the eldest son of my father, and with my uncle Clarence and my aunt Audrey dead, there is only me"

"Any other question?" Elyanna added

"If I have another question, who are you really?" Ciel asked

With that question Damien's face darkened, it was obvious that Ciel's questions were beginning to annoy him and not only him, Elyanna was also annoying him Ciel's insistence barely don't knew his brother and was already beginning to annoy him like never before She had even looked at him like a cockroach she wanted to step on. Damien smiled, a scary smile that would have scared even a homunculus (maybe Gumiho and Minho were afraid to see his master like this) Damien was planning to reveal the best kept secret of his parents, he cannot believe and will thought that everything was lie. Who would believe such a thing? Perhaps something like this would happen, but not in modern times and less in a noble family, however, he will told them that they how things were going even if they considered it an aberration besides a bastard. Damian looked at Elyanna tenderly and stroked her hair.

"Tell me, my dear, do you think I should tell you my secret?"

"It's risky. Do you really want them to know?"

"I have no other choice, my darling"

"They couldn't understand it"

"But you understand and nothing else matters to me"

Elyanna blushed and smiled, Ciel did not understand why they behaved that way but still did not like what he saw, Damien called his butler and asked something that none of his guests could hear, not even his fiancée, Sisyphus came back with a painted portrait and gave it to his master without anyone to see who the portrait was, Damien took the portrait in his hands and sighed.

"In the research you did on me, did you find out I have 2 siblings?" Damien asked.

"Yes," replied Ciel.

"I had two siblings, they were twins, a boy and a girl. They were called Jared and June, I have not seen them again after an event that is not the case, maybe they are dead but I do not think so... Now they would be 9 years old"

"Did you want to tell us that?"

"No" he replied putting the portrait on the bedside table

The portrait was a portrait of his grandmother, the Countess Helga Broderick, when she was young with her daughters: Emma and Audrey. The Countess Helga was a beautiful woman like all the women who came from Finland or Scandinavia, with that reddish-blond hair, those big, lively gray eyes like the winter skies of Finland, her neck was long, her skin was white as porcelain, Her face was beautiful like that of a Norse goddess, and her slender body was covered with clothes worthy of a countess. Her daughters, Emma and Audrey, were small in that portrait, almost babies: Audrey was a baby who surely just sat down and began to crawl, her mother holding her with her left arm; While Emma was a child of 1 or 2 years old, the age when children hardly understood what they speak and should be careful not to fall when walking, his mother had her right side. Ciel did not understand why Damien showed him this portrait while Diederich already knew that portrait and knew who the people in the portrait were.

"Why do we have this portrait, young man?" Diederich asked

"Well, sir. The people in this portrait are my grandmother, my aunt Audrey and my mother"

"Your mother?" Ciel didn't understand anything

"Don't say foolish, you brat! In that picture are your grandmother and your aunts Audrey and Emma! "Annoying Diederich exclaimed

"They are not understanding me, although she was my aunt too. For you to understand, Emma Broderick was my biological mother and the 'wife' of Sean Broderick, my father; In other words I am the fruit of the incest of that relationship"

"What?! What the hell you say" Ciel didn't expect something like that.

"You were not expected, right? Yes, I'm a fruit of incest. My parents didn't see themselves as siblings and soon they fell in love that's why they went to Kenya, she didn't disappear just escaped and also renamed Lia Bennett not to raise suspicion"

Diederich didn't know whether to believe him or not, on one side he could not believe that Emma could do something like that, and on the other hand if it was true what young Earl Broderick said that explained their resemblance to Sean Broderick and because he had his eyes By Emma. While Ciel had not believed anything, that was impossible, he kept hiding secrets and was going to find out.

"Pretty story Damien but you have not answered me. Who are you really?"

"I thought that you would serve to investigate me"

"You don't answer my question!"

"I have nothing to hide and much less I'm dangerous"

"I will judge that"

"And who will judge you?" Elyanna asked giving her empty cup to Gumiho

Elyanna interrupted the conversation, it was obvious that she was defending her fiancée, but Ciel thought he knew nothing of the promise that was not true; Ciel tried to open his eyes to that beautiful girl who, to be honest, was very attracted to her. Ciel approached Elyanna a little and looked at her, she looked at him as if he were looking at a statue.

Do not you realize who it is? With all this you still have not noticed?

"The one who has not noticed is you. Damien and I are compatible, soul mates and nothing will separate us and less you"

"It is my duty as a watchdog of the queen."

"I'll tell you who Damien is and who I am only if you answer me a question. Who are you really?"

"I am Ciel Phantomhive, the watchdog of the Queen."

"You say so, but .who are you Ciel now? The one everyone sees or hides? "

Elyanna was angry with what her brother said and was about to slap him but Damien was ahead of her, he was furious and could not control himself, he took Ciel from his clothes and shaken him shouting, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! "Sebastian tried to pull him away from his young master, but Sisyphus stopped him by telling him that if he touched his young master he would kill him. Things were not major and Ciel, Tanaka and Diederich were; However, Sebastian was left with the excuse of keeping an eye on the Brodericks but really wanted to see and talk to his ex- mistress Pandora. He found her in the kitchen with Sattojeon, apparently preparing dinner, when Pandora saw Sebastian ignored him, but this demon he liked, reminded him of the time he was courting her, the butler of the Phantomhive mansion wanted to be alone with her, but for that footman, Sattojeon, has to go; the demon tried to make it disappear, as it does with the humans, but Sattojeon didn't move.

"It's useless Sebastian, he's not human and your demon charm does not work with him" Pandora told him

"I already realized that they were not human, although I don't know what they are, will you tell me they are?" Sebastian asked with a charming smile.

"They are homunculus, artificial humans, who were here before my young master moved to the mansion so you don't think wrong things"

"I didn't think on that"

"Is that what you were going to ask me?"

"No, I just wanted to talk to you about what would happen to us in the future"

"I want to talk about that too" a third voice said.

Sisyphus that was a gesture made that Sattojeon retired and was alone: the brother and the ex-mistresses. Sebastian did not expect Sisyphus to get into something that was between him and him, but first he had to get rid of his brother.

"Sisyphus" call him Sebastian

"What do you want?" Sisyphus replied gruffly

"I'll take care of brother" Pandora said

She guided Sebastian to the garden, leaving him clear to her brother that she wanted to talk to the demon alone. Meanwhile, the elder archangel stood in the kitchen looking out the window. Sattojeon and Arang also joined him. They certainly did not know what it was. Homunculus servants copied some things that saw him do to people as if they tried to learn from them.

"In these 1000 years your brother stops hating me" Sebastian comments

"I want you to stop bothering me!"

"Huh?"

"I don't want to see you or your master close to mine again!"

"I don't think I understand you, Pandora"

"You understand me, Sebastian, get out of here!"

Pandora was going to leave, but Sebastian took her wrist and pushed her toward him, Pandora tried to get him to release her, but Sebastian did not do it until the angel gave him a head that almost knocked him down. Sisyphus saw everything and was relieved that his younger sister was not to be the concubine of that demon again while Sebastian was not going to surrender, he conquered it once and would do it again.

It had been two weeks since Ciel had visited Damien and Elyanna at the Broderick mansion; and in London there would be something never seen before, from Kenya a group of 8 men and 8 Masai women had arrived, and among the Masai there were 2 European child, boy and girl, who dressed like the Masai themselves and who were obviously twins: the twins They had originally had white skin but they had it tanned by the African sun, the kids had reddish-blond hair, both were 8 or 9 years old and had gray eyes like the winter skies of Finland. The Masai and the children walked through the streets of London, surprising them all by those men and women who came from Africa. Nearby was Inspector Randall and Abberline training the younger brother of the second, Patrick Abberline who had just graduated from the police academy: Patrick Abberline was 25 years old, he was slightly shorter than his brother Fred Aberline, he had nothing of facial hair like a baby, his eyes were bright green and his hair somewhat disheveled the same color as his brother's; Patrick was characterized by his little ingenuity, his naiveté and fervently believe in justice, having the dream of making London a safe place.

While Abberline and Randall were telling Patrick the fundamental things he should know as a police when the Masai appeared in front of the policemen who were surprised to see Masai in London.

"My God" the inspector Randall said

"I remember them! They are the Masai, an African tribe living in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. I remember, I read about them when I was a child" Patrick said

"Eh? We're not those the Berbers?" Abberline asked

"No brother, the Berbers are in North Africa and the Masai are from South Africa"

"Stop! Who cares if they are Masais or Bere-don't-know-what?! We have them right here!" Inspector Randall exclaimed

"I'll take care of them" Abberline said.

Abberline stood in front of the Masai who was sure to be the boss: his skin was very dark, had sharp features, was graceful, you could see that he had an athletic body through his masai clothes, he was very tall, he had many colorful bracelets in both Arms, had the expression of a statue, his eyes were coal color and had white hair despite not being an old man; He was surely the leader of the Masai. Abberline tried to "communicate" with them in their "language" but the only thing that got was to offend the boss Masai and this the slapping.

"Brother! Are you okay?" a worried Patrick asked

"Aaa! He hit me!" Abberline exclaimed

"We're not for your jokes," said the Masai chief.

-Speak English?! - Randall was surprised

-We learned to speak their language when the English arrived in our territory

-What's going on here? - Ciel said

Ciel was in London when he saw the group of Masais with the police, the young count seemed very strange to see Africans in London but what surprised him most was to see English children with them. The Masai chief looked at Ciel as if he were seeing another tribal chief, it was clear that he saw him as an equal, while the other Masai looked at Sebastian with fear and suspicion as if they knew he was a demon.

"What are you doing here?" Ciel asked

"I came to give these children back," he said pointing at the twins. "They lived with us for some time now but we must now return them to their family."

Do you know who the family are? Patrick asked.

"The Broderick family, I'm going to give them to Earl Broderick"

"I do not think they should bother people, we'll take care of these kids" Inspector Randall said

Apparently the children did not want to go with them and they seized two Masai women who were the ones who took care of them, for their part Ciel realized that these children had to be the brothers of Damien Broderick, that believed dead, at that moment they were it happened that these children could bring it to Earl Broderick and his fiancée. Ciel approached the children, the Masai women did not take the twins away as if they knew he was not going to hurt these children, but it was clear that they distrusted him.

"Are you Jared and June Broderick?" Ciel asked to gain the confidence of the children

"How do you know our names?" June asked

"Where do you know us?" Jared asked

"Your brother told me about you 2, he misses you a lot"

"Do you know where our brother lives?" Jared asked

"Yes, I was there many times"

"Are you a friend of our brother's?" June asked

"You're good to fool children, young master" Sebastian whispered

Apparently the chief Masai heard what Sebastian said, because he approached Ciel and examined him with that stern look with those coal color eyes to Ciel who felt uncomfortable and somewhat intimidated.

"So you know Earl Broderick?" the chief Masai asked

"Yes, I know him. If you want I can take the kids with your older brother" Ciel said

"No, if you know where Earl Broderick is, tell me but I will not give you children, I do not know you and I did not trust you."

Ciel did not say anything and thought it over, maybe Damien would not want to see these Masai in his mansion, which was why Ciel and Sebastian took them to the Broderick mansion, Randall and the Abberline brothers went with them to make sure that everything was under control but out of curiosity more than anything. Damien and Elyanna were having tea at the time when one of their homunculus footman, Sattojeon, approached their masters.

"What's happening, Sattojeon?" Damien asked.

"Excuse me for being interrupted my Lord and my Lady, but Earl Phantomhive is approaching the mansion," Sattojeon said.

"I wonder what you want now." Demian said

"Begins to irritate me my annoying twin" Elyanna said

"But he does not come alone. He is accompanied by his butler, 3 policemen, a boy and a girl of 8 or 9 years who apparently are twins and a group of men and women with very dark skin" Minho adds

"But what are you saying?" Elyanna asked, who did not understand anything

Although Elyanna does not understand why the homunculus footman said such follies, although he was not human and not so naive as to confuse things with others. Elyanna did not understand what was happening, but Damien did; Earl Broderick's mind was full of confusion and thoughts about his younger siblings. Could it be? No, that was crazy! He felt uneasy until the homunculus maids went to tell him that Earl Phantomhive had just arrived with guests, quickly Damien rushed into the hall of the mansion and Elyanna went after him. When he reached the hall of his mansion, apart from Sisyphus and Pandora, he saw the Masai, a peoples he had known since childhood, and his siblings Jared and June along with Ciel.

"Hello Damien, look who I met on the way" Ciel said

"Brother!" Jared and June very happy exclaimed

Damien was happy to see her little brothers again, and Elyanna was happy for her fiancé, but she still felt uneasy. On the other hand Sebastian looked at Pandora and with that look told him that he was not going to get away from her or give it up so easily and Pandora knew it.
