All alone in the Phantomhive manor while everyone else attended the masters cricket tournament. I "volunteered" to keep watch while they were gone. Something I was seriously starting to regret. I had finished my assigned work by early afternoon and they wouldn't be back till later that night. Snake had taken all of his snakes with him today so I was in truth all alone and very on edge. I kept jumping at sudden noises and silently panicking at nothing as I wandered around the mansion. I changed into my nightly attire and added extra weapons.

"Something is very wrong" I mumbled. It was only early evening so it was still light. I silently padded through the house but stopped with my heart in my throat when I swore I heard voices. Pricking my ears I strained to hear.

"Find her."

"Phantomhive will come home to a surprise"

"Don't break anything! Don't touch anything. We came for the girl."

Damn. I know I need to run. Forcing myself to move I bolted through the house but stopped. What am I doing? I said it myself I wanted to kill them. To destroy the knee who destroyed only I made a promise to the master I would protect this place with my life.

"And that it what I will do." I hissed turning on heel and heading for the voices.

Ending up perched atop the chandelier hanging above the entrance. It was the scientists. Great. I loaded my bow and pulled back. I could see Mera. He was the one who stole me. Who ruined me. And now I would kill him. I focused and let my arrow fly. But it never reached its target for another inhuman modification I knew leaped in front of Mera.

"Mera watch out!" Abeo screamed as the arrow ended up in her neck. Mera had quite liked her. I hated her. I watched pleased as she hit the ground blood spewing from her neck. Meras eyes widened as her life faded. During my time with the scientists there had been seven of us. Takara who could fight, Abeo who knew her weapons, Mei the shifter, Stormy who could control elements, Beyond who was just mentally insane but could kill a crowd with a butter knife, Rem who controls more of his brain then any human known and Me who is half cat, can fight and not an idiot. I had killed Takara and now Abeo but I didn't mind. I never liked them anyway. Left was Mei Stromy and Beyond and Rem. But flanking Meras other side was Rem himself. Shit. I had never one a sparring match with him. I had never come close.

"One down many to go." I cackled trying to hide my fear. Mera then looked up meeting my eyes. I pulled out one of my many daggers as slowly began shearing away at the ties that held the chandelier to the ceiling. I grinned down at him just as I stood and leaped off the lights as it came crashing to the ground in a storm of glass. This should help. I landed swiftly atop the main staircase and turned. I watched the dust clear and to my pleasure seeing I had killed most of them. Petty humans. Mera stood and looked up at me. Maddeningly he wasn't injured. Rem stood by his side. Rem, who I hated just as much as Mera. Rem had been one of the first experiments while I was the seventh. Mera had figured out how to unlock more of the brain. The human can only control 10 % where Rem could control roughly 50 to 60.

"Mera!" I called out sickeningly sweet using my poker face. He narrowed his eyes.

"You haven't changed a bit Alari. Still cunning. But not to bright." He sneered and turned to what was left of his men.

"Do whatever you must to capture her. Don't kill her. Rem you stay here" He ordered and roughly twelve men began to run at me. I loaded my bow.

Blood spattered the walls and bodies littered the floor. All that was left was Mera and Rem.

"Alari why do you fight me?" Mera asked.

"Your a greedy bastard that ruined my life!" I snarled and loaded the last arrow into my bow.

"My dear you must understand I had nothing to do with the fire. I gave you a second chance!"

"You caused me years of agony! Years of crippling fear!" I screamed.

"Alari we are special!" Rem said softy.

"I never asked for this Rem and you know that."

"Rem please restrain her" Mera said handing him what looked to be a small needle. I hissed and pulled back the arrow.

"Alari don't make me do this." Rem said in an all to kind way. He then began walking toward me. I waited until he was half way up the stairs before I let the arrow go. But to my amazement Rem caught the arrow.

"Huh!?"

"I'm stronger now. I can now use 100% of my mind." He said coming to stand before me. I took a step back and pulled out a dagger. He sighed.

"Alari we both know who will win." He said taking another step.

"I never asked for any of this. Why can't I just try and live my life in fucking peace! You've ruined me enough so why can't you leave me alone."

"Mera was not finished with you"

"You didn't answer my question!" I snarled meeting his eyes. Suddenly his hand shot forward grasping a pressure point on my neck and taking me to the ground. The dagger slipping from my fingers.

"A life with humans no longer exists for us anymore. We don't belong." He said gently putting the needle in my neck plunging me into darkness.

When I woke cold metal pressed against my back and was tight around my forehead wrists and ankles. I was laying on a table in what appeared to be a small room. A dim light emitted from one corner.

"You gave me no choice Alari." Rems voice sliced through the short silence. I couldn't say anything. They got me and now I was done for. I had spent years planning my escape. Learning the halls and every room.

"This is your home Alari. I don't understand why you'd leave." Rem said coming into focus. He had shady grey eyes and brown hair that stuck up in every direction.

"No Rem. This was your home! Not mine." I hissed.

"Mera gave us a second chance. You should be grateful." He said. Rem had a way of always being calm but you never wanted to cross his bad side.

"He out of all of "us" favoured you. You were never beaten or drugged to near death."

"I never fought him. I followed his orders."

"Like a stupid dog!" I snapped.

"Alari! Enough. Mera wanted to keep you under but I insisted other wise. But if you can't shut it I'll go back on it." I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment drinking in the scent.

"This isn't the same building. So my best guess is I'm still in England?"

"Very good."

"Why are you acting like this? You never did before." I hissed.

"I know you will never stop fighting Mera. And soon you won't have to fight me either."

"What do you mean?" I blinked. Rem leaned down and whispered in my ear.

"Mera plans to unlock the rest of your mind as he did with me."
