13 Years Ago
"Mama! Papa!"
A little girl shouted as she greeted her parents at the door with her maid and her dog, Noah. Her parents grinned and the little girl looked up at her father while she held her hands out to him. Her father picked her up and began to shake the girl in his arms. The girl beamed at her father and hugged him tightly.
"How is our little Christina doing? I hope you didn't cause too much trouble for Marie and the other staff."
Christina shook her head with a giggle and kissed her father on the cheek before her mother took the girl in her arms. With a soft smile her mother, Emma Austerlitz, pecked Christina's small head. Christina looked at her mother fondly as she issued an order for Marie.
"Marie, would you please put Christina to bed? I have something to discuss with Leon. Christina, please have sweet dreams."
Christina nodded at Emma and kissed her mother's cheek once more before being let go of and going to hug her father, Leon's, leg. Her father grinned and patted Christina on the head until the child went and took her maid's hand. Marie smiled softly at the girl and led her up the stairs to her room.
When Christina was put into bed, Marie bent over and kissed her forehead. Christina smiled slightly and gave Marie a kiss back before pulling her into a sitting position on top of the light pink covers. Her maid looked confused when Christina held her hand but smiled in understanding when she realized what Christina wanted.
"What would you like me to tell your parents?"
Christina laughed and whispered something into Marie's ear before she let go of the maid's hand. Marie nodded and got up to leave before she remembered seemingly remembered something. With a beautiful smile, Marie once again turned to Christina.
"Lady Christina, please do not leave your bedroom tonight, no matter what you hear. It could be very dangerous."
Christina looked confused but nodded sleepily before her head hit the pillow with a small thud. She heard a muttered 'goodnight' before she drifted off into peaceful sleep. Little did she know that something horrible was about to happen.
"Leon!"
A horrified screech filled the silent townhouse; suddenly there was running and then another scream. Christina bolted up in her bed with wide eyes, trying to decipher what was going on when the sound of chopping came from down the hallway. Christina walked over to the door drowsily, stumbling over blankets on the way. When she finally opened the door blood was splattered across the room with multiple cut limbs littering the floor.
Christina hunched over as a rush of vomit left her mouth when she found that it was in fact her beloved servants mangled body parts. Looking down once more she saw she was standing in a pool of blood and fell to her knees in shock. She looked up when she heard another terrified scream and then a whack. Deciding to find her parents Christina stood up slowly with unstable legs and held onto the wall as she looked around at the several severed heads that poured blood.
Christina tried to ignore them until she felt a weak hand grab her ankle. She put her hands over her mouth to stop a scream and turned around with terrified eyes that were filled to the brim with tears. She dropped to her knees when she found the person who had grabbed her ankle had in fact been her mother. Blood soaked her white nightgown as vomit threatened to come back up.
"M…Mama. Mama, what's going on? You're hurt! Mama! Mommy, why are you crying? Who did this to you?"
Christina watched in horror as her mom placed her bloodied hand on her teary cheek. She looked down at her mom's once beautiful form, noticing that half of her left arm was missing and that one of her feet seemed to be hacked off. Blood also seemed to be pulling at her mother's pregnant stomach. Christina once again looked at her mother's slowly closing eyes and began to shake her, trying everything she could do to keep her alive.
"Christina… run."
Christina looked at her mother with wide eyes as the now cold hand fell from her face. It took a second for Christina to react as she eyed the now lifeless being in front of her. Christina began to shake as she lifted her now bloodied hands so she could see them. She looked down at her mother once again as a new set of tears began to fall from her eyes. Why is this happening to me? What have I done to deserve this? Please god! Please! Christina thought when she threw her frame over her mothers.
"Mommy, I will… I'll get some help; I'll be back for you."
Christina kissed her mother's pale cheek before getting up slowly and running towards the end of the hallway. She noticed that out of all the bodies she had encountered, she had yet to find her father's or Marie's. As Christina neared the front of the manor she noted that there was a figure illuminated by light ahead. She picked up speed when she realized that it was Marie.
"Marie! Marie, Mama's hurt and I don't know where Papa is. Please you have to help them."
Marie turned around slowly with her head down and a light grin on her face. Christina continued running towards her before stopped, noticing that she was covered in blood. With slow steps Marie walked towards Christina with tears in her eyes.
"Lady Christina, I'm very glad you're okay! It appears the murderer is still in the house. We must stay quite or we will be found out. You mentioned Lady Austerlitz being hurt, lead me to her and I will try to help."
Christina slowly came closer to Marie at the promise of help and when she stood in front of the maid she looked to the side, noticing an axe and a body with no head. Quickly, Christina looked up hoping that Marie hadn't seen her staring. Luckily, Marie hadn't noticed and Christina was once again able to look beyond the maid's legs.
Thick blood was running across the stairs and at the end of the trail laid her father's head. Christina stood with wide eyes looking at the maid; she felt tears begin to drop down her face once again as she began to dry heave.
"What's wrong, my lady?"
Christina looked up at Marie who was now grinning and reaching behind her back. Christina let out a light whimper and ran to the side of Marie. Marie let out a light chuckle and pulled the girl's white hair that had been stained with blood. Christina let out a loud scream hoping someone was still alive at this point.
"Lady Christina, no one is going to save you now. Not your father, not your mother, heh. Not even your stupid dog."
Christina was thrown down the stairs and into a warm pile of blood. The young girl began to try and crawl to the door but there was a hard kick to her side, sending her flying towards a statue in the middle of the entrance.
"Would you like to know what I did to them, you brat?"
Christina held her ears and cried, trying her best to hide from the words that were about to be said.
"Hmmm. I'll start with your beloved dog, what was it again Nate? Noah? Oh well he was one of the first I killed, he was being very annoying with his constant barks so much so that I kicked him. He is quite the fighter I must tell you because he just shot right back up and bit into my leg see?"
Marie lifted her black skirt to reveal a chunk of skin that was missing, Christina whimpered when she saw it but made no indication that she was listening. Marie grinned and brought a bloodied knife to her lips before continuing.
"After he had bitten me I was so aggravated with him that I ended up cutting into his neck with this."
Marie walked over to Christina and dangled the knife in front of the crying girl's face.
"You know the plan was to kill just your mother and your father but it seems the house staff is overly attached to them. Such a shame really, I told you to stay in your room didn't I? Children never listen do they? Oh well now it's time for your punishment."
Christina let out a low cry and crawled closer to her father's body, trying to get away. She heard a loud tch come from behind her and then a heel came down onto her ankle, piecing through skin. Christina let out a scream of pain as she buried her head in the blood soaked floor.
"Why'd you try to run, dear? Now I have to kill you."
Christina was flipped over onto her back and Marie straddled while putting on a feral grin. The girl began to shake her head back and forth trying to get loose but it was no use, she was too weak. Marie placed a kiss on Christina's head before bringing the knife that she had used to kill Noah with down into Christina's stomach.
Christian let out a strangled sound before she coughed up blood. Marie once again brought the knife down upon the girl making a gurgle come out of Christina's stomach. Christina closed her eyes ready to accept death when a loud banging came from the door. Marie let out an annoyed growl and got up, ready to kill whomever came in.
Christian was struggling to move as Marie opened the door, she heard a gun being fired and then the sound of slicing before a choked scream and the sound of something falling to the floor. Looking back, Christina saw an arm on the floor, Marie with a bullet in her head, and a police officer holding his injured arm. She let out a low moan before passing out.
Ten Years Ago
Christina looked outside the window in her assigned room, at the Saint Mary's Orphanage for Young Women, with blank eyes. She heard the ticking of the clock on the wall signaling that it was once again time to eat lunch. Looking down at her frail figure, Christina got off of the bed and headed towards the kitchen where most girls were already eating. She grabbed a small portion of soup before heading to the edge of one of the wooden tables, making sure to avoid eye contact with everyone.
Christina continued to eat as she listened to the conversations that surrounded her, only one seemed to take hold of her attention though. She listened in realizing that they were talking about a lord coming to adopt a child. With a sigh, she pushed the now chin length hair behind her ear and continued to eat.
One of the room keepers came into the dining hall with a wide grin on her round face. She put her hands on her brown skirt and looked around until all of the girls had stopped talking.
"Lord Charles Vonnegut shall be 'ere shortly so be on yer best behavior."
Christina flinched when she heard the excited squeals of girls that assumed they would be chosen for adoption. After two and a half years of being passed from orphanage to orphanage, Christina had realized that only the cute and overly-friendly girls got chosen, meaning that she would never get chosen. With an aggravated sigh, Christina stood up and kept her head down trying to avoid getting called the cursed girl by the multiple females in there.
Unfortunately, Christina had been looking down for too long and had bumped right into a man with brown hair and blue eyes. She fell back a few steps and the room got silent as she looked up with emotionless ice eyes. She saw the man, whom she presumed was Lord Vonnegut; blink down with confusion in his eyes.
He raised his hand and Christina flinched back prepared for a hit, but instead got a pat on the head. Christina's eyes widened and then glossed over with liquid when she remembered how her father used to do this to her. She quickly stumbled back and looked up at him with teary eyes.
Lord Vonnegut looked down at Christina and bowed to her, causing a gasp of shock to fill the room. Christina was trying to comprehend what was going on before the man stood back up and held out his hand. Christina placed her small hand in his big one and he kissed it.
"I'm sorry."
Christina couldn't take it anymore. She fell to her knees in front of the man that acted so much like her father and began to cry. She hadn't cried since the day everyone she had ever loved was taken away from her. She sat there and sobbed and suddenly there was a shadow over her and then an embrace.
"Lady Christina Austerlitz, would you become my daughter?"
She sat still for a second judging the warmth that surrounded her, wondering if she could have a second chance, if she deserved it. You won't forget. She told herself as she buried her face into his neck. She nodded slightly and she heard him give a light chuckle before kissing the top of her head.
Five Years Ago
Christina grinned at her father as they walked down the streets of London with their butler, Lucas Badeau. She looked around at the bustling city life and hoped that one day she could become a good citizen like the people that were strolling down the street. Looking at the glass windows, she noticed a dress with a light blue top that slowly became darker as it went down. Christina looked at Lord Vonnegut with pleading eyes and saw that he was beginning to crack. With a small nod towards the shop the trio was off.
That night as Christina was looking at herself in the dress she heard the sound of a man screaming. She jumped, terrified that there would be a repeat of that night. Running towards the door she opened it to find that both Charles and Lucas's right hands were glowing and there was a blonde man cowering in fear at Lucas's feet.
"Father?"
Charles turned to find Christina's wide eyes on him as she stared at him with a gaping mouth. Clearing his throat he muttered something to Lucas before looking into the butler's glowing eyes. Lucas nodded and took the man with him, most likely for disposal.
"Christina, I did not wish to tell you this but now that you have seen I've got no choice. Lucas is a demon that I summoned after my fiancé was murdered. There is no way I could tell you this unless it was this simple so I am very sorry if you do not believe my explanation."
Christina stood stock still for a moment before she saw Lucas come back into the room and stand next to Charles with a black eyebrow raised. She looked at Lucas with a glare before looking at both of their hands, noting the pentagram on them. She turned away for a moment before looking back and nodding. She had seen many things in her life and this was barely anything, with a smile she looked at her father and moved her skirts.
"How do I look in this?"
Four Months Ago
"My lord, it seems that we have found the murderers of your late fiancé. This will be goodbye."
Christina looked between her father and her butler with tears in her eyes, another person was being stolen from her. Charles looked at Christina and smiled before Lucas leaned down and put his lips upon Lord Vonnegut's. Christina flinched and looked away as her father became lifeless upon his bed and Lucas sat back up.
Lucas reached forward to shake Christina's hand put she recoiled when his hand touched hers. Lucas sighed and bowed once more before his eyes began to glow.
"If you really despise demons so much than I will give you the power to set back time for one being and one being only. Instead of the sad memories that they have encountered they will have great happiness, there is a catch though the human will remember if the demon gives them something of importance before the set back. The demon will also remember the contract and they may go after the human so choose wisely. After the human agrees to do it you will cease to exist in this world and will probably go to purgatory when you die of old age. I will give you the name of one contract that I wish for you to sever if you agree to do this."
Christina looked at Lucas with wide eyes; she could save someone from being eaten? She could save someone from facing the same fate as her adoptive father Lord Vonnegut. It sounded too good to be true but she agreed anyway, ready to face the risks.
"Ah, one more thing before I set off. If the master becomes too attached to the butler than it will become very hard to separate the two seeing as once a demon feels its prey is getting loose it will do anything to get it back. Be wary around this pairing, they are vicious in every way. The name of the master is Ciel Phantomhive of Funtom Company and his butler is Sebastian Michaelis. This is all I have to say, goodbye."
Christina looked at the now barren area that her butler once stood and sighed. Was she really willing to save this person? I might as well do some research on him. She thought before contacting the police to notify them of her father's death.
Present Day
Christina sat on a tree looking through Ciel Phantomhive's bedroom window with a scowl. She could practically feel the love oozing out of it as she watched the two naked men sleep in each other's arms. With a sigh, she hopped off of the tree and onto the ground to go back into the forest. This just made things harder for her then they already were. She could try to shame them at the ball she was throwing but what would that do, get her killed.
Groaning, Christina closed her eyes and transferred herself once again into Ciel's dream only to find that it was being blocked by a very dark and strong force. Kicking a stone, she made her way back to her manor, trying to ignore the feeling of being watched.
