-1- New Job
Demons are fallen angels from the kingdom of heaven.
What made them fall so low?
To become so sinister.
So evil.
So murderous.
As the pitch that darkens the sun.
-----
I woke up abruptly as my ship crashed onto the shore.
"UGH."
I grabbed my small suit case, and flung my over coat over my white silk blouse.
I walked out onto the street of Great Britain merely wearing my mid-length black skirt, white blouse, brown coat, and black flats. While everyone else wore dresses,corsets, suits, and ties.
I guess 1906 fashion is different than America's.
Women stared at me in horror.
Not very many women wore skirts and shirts in America anyway.
I smiled carrying my suitcase and started my way down the cobble road, and saw a tall lanky man staring at me intently with his wine red eyes.
I shrugged it off and tapped on a man's coat.
"Excuse me Sir? Do you know where-"
He brushed past me.
WHAT?!?
I turned to a woman.
"Do you know where-"
She walked past me.
I growled my dark purple eyes turning a dark nightshade color.
Racists
I saw a desk that read information and travel desk.
I gasped my eyes returning to their normal color.
I scurried to the desk.
"Do you know where-?"
"Sorry ma'm we're closed."
My heart sunk to my toes.
"Please Sir I came all the way from The United States! It took me a week to get here...A WEEK!"
The man stroked his handlebar mustache.
He shut the door.
"Seriously?"
I slumped on a bench.
The tall pale man from earlier sat next to me on the bench.
"My dear why are you out here all alone?"
I sighed.
"I was hired for a job, and I tried to ask where Phantomhive manor was. They ignored me! I bet it's because I'm American."
"Beg your pardon ma'm where did you say you needed to go?"
"Phantomhive manor. I was offered a job there."
He clasped his hands together.
"I'm Sebastian Michaelis, butler of Phantomhive manor. Would you like to escort you?"
I smiled.
"Yes please!"
He held out his arm and I took it, and I noticed something. Everyone in the city was gone.
Everyone was in their houses probably fast asleep.
We walked to the manor, because it apparently wasn't very far from here.
We where on the path there when I saw a scraggly little puppy slumbering on path.
I cooed while Sebastian scoffed.
I looked at him darkly.
I dropped my suitcase and replaced it with the puppy.
"Awe isn't it adorable."
He rolled his eyes.
"They are pitiful I hate them."
What who doesn't like dogs?
"It depends what breed you get. See this dog is a pug, some pugs are very calm like this one see just hold her for a minute."
He sighed and held the pug.
He smiled.
"Awe she makes cute noises... has black fur... Hmm I guess this particular dog is tolerable."
I laughed.
"Told ya."
I looked at the ground and sighed.
"Whats wrong Miss Abernathy?"
"Just call me Alina, please, and whatever am I going to do with the pug?"
He smiled.
"I'll put her in my jacket and sneak her up to your room."
I hugged him with one arm.
He stiffened
"Thank you so much!"
"You're very welcome...Alina."
As he said my name I felt a chill down my spine.
He grabbed my suitcase, and I smiled as we continued to walk down the path, together.
Once we reached the door we traded things.
He stuffed the pug in his coat.
I snickered
He opened the door for me, and I walked inside.
Oh. My. Lord.
It was a Victorian styled manor, and left my jaw dropping.
He grabbed my suitcase.
"I will be back, wait here."
He started up the staircase.
I smiled and walked outside, and heard talking.
"Hello?"
I saw four heads pop out of a bush, I jumped back.
"AHHHHH!!!"
The boyish looking man with honey blonde stared at me with a longing gaze until the woman with the dark pink hair and glasses knocked him in the head.
"Sorry for that miss, yes we are."
The man in the chef's uniform looked at me a cigarette hanging in his mouth.
"Well, well, well you're pretty cute."
I heard the old man in the back.
"Hoh hoh hoh."
"I'm Finny, this is Bard, Mey Rin, and Tanaka."
"Hello! I'm Alina Abernathy. I'm not really from here I'm from America. I don't really know the customs here."
I said pointing at my skirt and shirt.
Finny fell backwards.
Mey Rin looked at me.
"You're so charming, yes you are."
I smiled and blushed, my ears turning red.
"Can you show me around?"
Finny shot up.
"Us?"
"Yes, you silly geese."
"That's really Sebastian's job."
Said Bard.
I looked at the ground.
"Oh I'm sorry."
Finny all of a sudden yelled.
"Come on we need to show her around!"
I heard Tanaka.
"Hoh hoh hoh."
They led me into the kitchen, Ciel Phantomhive's study, library, bathrooms, and so many other things.
I wonder if Sebastian is looking for me?
They lastly took me into the ballroom.
It was huge and beautiful.
Finny grabbed my hands and we started spinning in circles around the the room.
We both started laughing and he started to stare at me.
I blushed, and his face was ablaze.
We started to spin faster and faster, then my feet started to leave the ground.
"Uh Finny?"
"Alina, I can't stop!"
I saw Sebastian run into the room his gaze upon me.
He looked worried and scared once he saw me being flung around in the air.
Finny's grip started to slacken.
"Finny don't let go!"
"I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER! I'M SORRY!"
He finally let go, and I slammed into the wall and fell face first onto the floor.
"Finny! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!!"
I heard Sebastian yell.
I stood up and leaned onto the wall.
"Whew that was a doozy I have to say for myself!"
They all looked at me surprised.
"Oh dear there's a tear in my coat!"
Mey Rin scurried to me.
"Alina, I can stitch your coat up and you can have it back tomorrow, yes you will."
I smiled.
"That would be lovely Mey Rin!"
I handed her my jacket and was attacked in in a hug, by Finny.
"I'm so sorry will you forgive me? How are you still okay?"
"Of course I'll forgive you! I don't know how I'm okay I'm a bit dizzy though."
I kissed Finny's cheek and his eyes widen.
I look over at Sebastian.
"Should we be off then?"
He smiled.
"Of course... but I find it hard to believe that you cared more about your coat than "
I followed him when I started to feel pain in my back, but I ignored it really.
We found Ciel's study and I followed him in.
"Hello Lord Phantomhive, I have come all the way from The United States to accept your offer."
Lord Phantomhive looked at me, and said.
"Hello Miss Abernathy it is a pleasure to meet you."
I looked up and saw a child about thirteen or fourteen. With hair swept to the side that had a blueish greenish tint to it, and a black eye patch. He wasn't very tall either which made me laugh on the inside.
"Please just call me Alina, and your country is great besides all the people except Sebastian when I told them where I needed to go."
Lord Phantomhive chuckled.
"Well Alina please just call me Ciel, and it would be nice if you could tell me about your country sometime."
I smiled.
"I would gladly tell you soon, but I am very tired I was on a ship for a week."
His expression was shocked.
"Sebastian please escort her to her room."
He started picking at his nails like all of a sudden he didn't seem to care anymore. That was quite rude. . .
Before I left I waved goodbye and followed Sebastian down the hallway.
Once we got to my room I saw the pug sleeping on my bed quietly.
" Awe she's so cute."
I ran over to her and my back was tearing in unbearable pain.
I hissed and Sebastian looked at me worriedly.
"Alina are you alright?"
"Please I need sleep can you leave me?"
" I have to help you change for the night."
I stiffened.
"Sebastian where I come from it's not polite to watch a lady change. Thank you for caring though."
I saw an light blush creep on his face and he quickly left.
I sighed.
HEY WHAT CHA THINK?
Tell me you love it
I know you do
