Hey! It's me, Call Me Alois! I'm just going to go by Cross though, because Call Me Alois is way to long to keep writing over and over.
I bring good news: the revision is finally over! I hope you enjoy this chapter, and please drop a review at the end! Thank you!
You will see the full disclaimer when all the characters get added back in, but since they aren't here yet, I decided to wait. Thank you to all who submitted OCs. I will add them back soon for my personal ark, but I might do an actual Kuro ark before then.
ALSO: Are any of you Vampire Knight fans? I heard that they are making a third season, VK Destiny, and I was curious if anyone else heard about it. I know, wrong fandom, but I haven't written a VK story yet so...
I do not own Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji. Yana Toboso owns it. I do own the Bishop family, though.
Also, please tell me if they are a little OOC.
Ell's POV
I walked in to face what had seemed to be my impending doom, if Sebastian's face was any gauge of the future, and I was surprised to see the size of the dining room. There is only one kid in the entire house and the table is at least 10 feet long. Of course, we are talking about a short, blasé earl named Ciel, who is sitting at the head of the table.
In front of him, there were several dishes with covers on, and the smell of the steam wafting over to me was heavenly. Absolutely heavenly. Being that everyone in my family is horrible at cooking, a smell like this has only been attained after a night at a restaurant, and even then it has never been this good! Oh no, I'm already losing it over the food...
Okay.
I'm going to be quite honest.
I know I just mentioned that no one in my family can cook, but if you missed that, then re-read it. In fact, I'll say it again. The only time the food is great is when I go to a restaurant, and that almost never happens. So I bet you can guess that I have a strong weakness for fancy food, my favorite of course being Indian food. I just love curry! I could eat it all day, and there's so many-
Okay, I'm getting off track again, but at least now you see why I said that.
Sebastian led me to a seat on the right of Ciel by his butler, who pulls the chair out for me when I go to sit. Ciel has his elbows on the table and is leaning forward a bit. His fingers are laced together, and he goes to rest his chin on the tent they make. He cocks his head like a lost puppy, but the malice and mischief in his eyes tells me that I should be worried.
To be honest, I can't say I don't worry. He could easily kick me out to the cold, and I could do nothing. But at the same time...
HE LOOKS SO CUTE LIKE THIS!
I decide to take my chances and speak first.
"Hello again, Earl...?"
"Phantomhive, Miss...?" Oh really? You aren't going to remember the random person who appeared in your backyard and said her name without question? I would have remembered. But, I didn't remember his name, so I guess we're even.
"Bishop."
"It appears that you appeared out of no where in one of the gardens on my estate grounds. Could you explain exactly what you were doing back there?" He nonchalantly waved his hand like this happens all the time.
"I blacked out and woke up in your garden. Sebastian found me." I lied coolly. Two can play at this game~!
He sat back and smirked.
"I know you are lying, Sebastian was able to tell me that much. You acted like you didn't know the date or the year. Are you trying to say that you came from another time?"
"I don't know at this point. I just know that I don't know where I am, and I don't know who you are, and I don't know what I should do. I don't know where to go. So if you could stop drilling me with questions you know the answer to, we could get this over a lot faster and you could do whatever you want to do after dinner."
"I would take you up on your offer Miss Bishop, but how am I to know you aren't a threat? You appear wearing short pants, a strange sort of blouse I've never seen before, and you were soaking wet."
"You know, that sort of happens when you come out of a pond."
"Answer the question."
I stared at him. He stared back.
"You know what? I'll tell you the truth because I'm just tired and want to sleep. You have no proof I'm not a threat, and I did wear those articles of clothes that you mentioned."
"That's not a straight answer."
"Look kid. I don't know who you are, but I guess you are an Earl of some sort. I don't care. I'm not from around here. I'm from the United States of America! You don't know a thing about me, but the same goes for me too! We're both in the same boat! I hate to be so bitter, but I tend to start acting like the people around me after some time. Figure it out yourself, or get your butler to do it. You seem to be attached at the hip."
He just raised your eyebrow. Sebastian leaned down and whispered into Ciel's ear, hiding his mouth behind his hand. Ciel nodded twice and smirked before opening his mouth to speak again.
"I see... it seems that you aren't lying Miss Bishop. Since you seem to be all alone over here, I am going to offer you-"
"Who said I was alone?"
"Are you alone?"
"Yes."
"Therefore, I am going to offer you a job at my manor."
"Who says I'm going to accept?"
"Are you alone?"
"Yes..."
"Are you going to accept?"
"Yes, but stop using my words against me!"
"I play my cards to the best of my ability, use my pawns accordingly and gain new ones. You might be useful."
Sebastian pulls Ciel's chair out so that he can stand up and leave, which he does. Before he gets out of the door, he turns his head and looks at me.
"Oh- and do try to be competent please."
He leaves, followed closely by Sebastian.
"Wait! Can I eat the food?"
I wait for a response.
"Anybody?"
I guess that means I can eat it! Yum~
