Chapter 2- Family

I've only been in Phantomhive Manor 24 hours, but I was already missing my family. I may not have got on well with my mum but I do miss her.

When I think about myself killing that thing that was in my house. I do not think of myself killing my mother, I think of myself killing an evil creation of some evil scientist. I think this because while it may have looked like my mum. It was obviously not as there was strange markings on the side of its neck that are not on my mums neck.

When I think of family, the first things I think of are my mum, brothers and my friends,the vipers.

The vipers are my best friends, we're what you might call the 'not completely mentally stable' group. In the vipers there is Alira, Luner, Sapphira, Lucy, Ixchel, Misty Sapphire, Hazel and Kara.

Its nice here in the Phantomhive manor, I rather like the servants particulaly Sebastian.

BOOM! Think of the devils and they shall appear. The boom was probably Bard blowing up the kitchen again. That would be the second time he's done that since I got here.

SMASH! Well that's probably Mey-rin breaking the plates for the third time since I got here. I dread to think about how much money ciel spends on plates a week, let alone a year.

"AHHH! DON'T PLUTO NOT THE BUSHES!" well, that's the first time Finny's lost control of Pluto since I got here. But from what I can tell from the show and what Ciel has told me it happens quite often.

I look back to the recent memory of Ciel introducing me to his staff.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* LINE BREAK*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sebastian, bring in Mey-rin, Finny, Bard and Tanaka." Demanded Ciel, as an after thought he added "please."

"wait did THE Ciel Phantomhive just say please?" I asked in astonishment.

" Yes, I did. What has that got to do with anything?"

"oh my ravenous demons! Are you kidding me? you just said please to Sebastian! That's like Alois Trancy being nice! OR Seto Kaiba having a miniscule ego!"

"I understand the Alois Trancy comment but who is this Seto Kaiba?"

"you don't need to know."

At that moment , Sebastian came in with Mey-rin, Finny, Bard and Tanaka.

The only girl came over to me. She has short purple hair. Thick glasses that are probably impossible to see through and a blue and white maid dress. She introduced herself "Hello, my name is Mey-rin and I am the maid of the Phantomhive house."

Next, a young feeble-looking effeminate boy came over. He has blue eyes, blonde hair and what looks like a farmers outfit. "My name is Finnian. Please call me Finny and I am the gardener for the house of Phantomhive." He introduced.

Next came a man with dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, a cigarette that stays the same length constantly, a chefs coat and goggles. "Hi, I'm Bard the cook."

Lastly, a small man with a cup of green tea came over. "ho ho ho."said the short man. Ciel explained "this is Tanaka, he is my steward."

"hello everybody, my name is Kitsune Regina Aquili. Please call me Kit or Kitty. All my friends do." I stated plain and simply.

Mey-rin squealed "you're treating us as your friends."

"yes, of course." I reply.

SMASH! A grey haired youth smashed through the window. Nude. And jumped on Sebastian. Who fell to the floor trying to push off the naked boy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LINE BREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have to give credit to Ciel, he explained who Pluto was in the space of 90 seconds. Much quicker than I could have managed.

The rest of the week was much the same fashion except for yesterday, which was five days before I arrived.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WEDNESDAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I awoke to a BANG and someone squealing CIEEEELLLLLLL!" I suddenly thought 'oh shit, I'm going to die.' I then thought 'this must be Lizzy'. I rang the bell that called Mey-rin to me and asked her to help me get ready.

I am dressed to impress. My corset restraining my breathing but letting me fit into my dress perfectly. It was ruby red chiffon layered with a fine ebony lace decorating the top half and ebony silk flowers decorating the rim of my short skirt( well short by Victorian standerds). The skirt reached just above my knees. I was wearing black boots which reached halfway up my calf. The black contrasted with my ivory skin. My ginger tinted brown hair was left loose to frame my face. My hazel eyes were made more prominent by my naturally long lashes. But my attention was drawn to my ruby lips. Which made my skin even paler. It could almost rival Sebastians.

I walked down the stairs to the drawing room. I knocked quickly and quietly. The response was "come in."

I walked in and saw a curly haired blonde girl and immediately asked "are you not going to introduce me to your friend Ciel?"

Ciel turned to look at me and gaped like a guppy. "really Ciel, must you do a guppy impression. I know I am beautiful but must you do that?"

The girl turned to me and took in my appearance. "who is this woman, Ciel? Is she the reason you wish to call off the engagement? If not, then why don't you want to be with me?"

The girl looked upset. As if she was about to cry and weep.

Ciel answered "Kitsune, this is Elizabeth, my soon-to-be-former-betrothed. No I am not doing a guppy impression, how dare you insinuate such a thing!" he then turned to Elizabeth, "Lizzie, this is my friend Kitsune. No she is not the reason I want to call off the engagement because I am not a safe person to be with as I am constantly in danger. But I still wish to be your friend."

"Are you done monologue, Ciel?" I asked.

"I suppose" he replied.

"Good, because I am leaving on Friday and should be back by Saturday. I say this so you are prepared as I should bring some friends."

"okay, Kitty."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THURSDAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I spent all of Thursday thinking about killing the decoy of my mum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FRIDAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Friday, I wore the same outfit as Wednesday. I said my goodbyes. The servants cried. Sebastian gave me an awkward hug and Ciel gave me a light kiss on the cheek. When I asked what it was for he said "for luck" I grabbed my baseball bat and on instinct, pressed the pentagram.
