We were sitting in the carriage riding through the town, and I had to blend in better, so I wore a light blue and white dress with pearls, but the thing that bothered me most was the corset.

How do people live in this thing?

It's like an anaconda it's squeezing my guts out.

I think Sebastian saw me pulling at it, because he grabbed my hand.

"It's not good for a young lady to pick at her corset."

I sighed.

I saw a person standing in the alley way.

I saw wisps of white hair flailing around, they looked familiar, but I shook it off.

I looked down at my copper locket.

Sebastian gave me a hard time for wearing it, but I will always wear it.

Always

We reached a small building in a dark area of the town.

The sign had a skull and bone on it, and it read "Undertaker".

We walked inside and I heard faint giggling.

"Oh Lord Phantomhive you always comeback and you never get any taller, Teehee."

I saw Ciel frown.

"I don't have time for idle chat Undertaker. Now, we need information about the recent murders."

I saw a man with long grey hair and a strange hat atop his head walk out of the shadows, and made me jump.

"Heehee you know the drill. Tell me something that'll make me smile, heehee"

Ciel growled.

"Young Lord?"

He looked at me.

"I have a joke."

He nodded.

Before I said anything else I felt Sebastian's lips touch my ear gently which sent shivers down my spine.

"Any joke will work, even if it is utterly ridiculous."

I smiled.

I have a great joke, my brother told it to me many years ago

"Does your shoe have a hole in it?"

I saw the undertaker look at his shoes.

"No."

"Then how did you get your feet into it?"

I heard Ciel face palm behind me.

It took the Undertaker a moment, but then he laughed softly. It was gradually getting louder and louder,  soon enough Sebastian covered Ciel's ears.

It had gotten so loud it dug into my brain.

I stiffened and I fell backwards falling unconscious.

-------

"Raven! Do you want to play hide and seek?"

I asked looking at my brother's best friend.

"Sure!"

Today was my eighth birthday, Raven and Akin said that we would play games all day.

Raven moved his dark colored hair out of his face.

He always told me to call him Raven because that was his nickname.

I never really knew his real name.

Before anything else happened Akin ran over to us, his white hair flopping around.

"Raven may I speak to you for a moment? My angel stay here."

I watched as Raven and Akin walk behind the barn.

I smiled Akin liked to call me angel.

That's my nickname

After a while I went inside, and they never came back.

I saw a tall man with white hair and green eyes, dressed in black hug a another man that I did not see.

I read the White haired man's lips.

"Make sure you change before you get here."

------

I jolted up, and looked around.

I was laid on the cushions of the carriage.

Hmm they must have left me here and are currently working on the case

I heard a crumpling noise and looked over at my hand.

There was a paper under my hand.

I straightened it and read it.

Dear Alina,

             If you are to wake up you need to stay in the carriage it is far too dangerous for a lady to roam around with the murderer on the lose.

                                                                                                                  ~Sebastian

Frowned and crushed the paper in my hand.

You wanted me to help then why did you take me in the first place?

I opened the door, and hopped out.

"Wait a second."

I remembered that I snuck some jeans,light blue blouse, and my brown coat in the carriage, so I grabbed them and headed into the building next door.

I ran into the restroom, and slid off my dress and changed into my clothes.

It felt great to get out of the dress.

I went back outside and tossed the clothes back into the vehicle and headed back into the Undertaker's shop.

"Undertaker where did they go?"

He giggled.

"They headed off to the victim's household."

He wrote something down on some parchment, and handed it to me.

"Here's the address. Good luck."

I ran out of the building and looked at the street labels.

It's not very far from here

I ran down the street, and saw Ciel and Sebastian talking to a old man and his wife.

I squeaked and ran into the addressed building.

"Hello, My name is Anita how may I help you?"

I saw a woman about thirty-six years old standing in front of me.

Her honey blonde hair was in a bun nice and tidy, and she wore a light blue dress.

"Did Lord Phantomhive come by today? I am one of his assistants, Alina Abernathy."

"He just left."

"What happened?"

A tear slid down her cheek.

"May won't say anything! She is scared that the man will kill Timothy her brother. She said if he finds out she told us he'll kill him!"

I hugged Anita.

"May I talk to her?"

Anita nodded and led me up stairs, and motioned to a door.

I knocked once and the door opened.

I saw a little girl with curly blonde hair, her blue eyes tear stained.

I walked into her room, and shut the door behind me.

"May, did Lord Phantomhive come by?"

She nodded.

I sat on my legs.

"Did he scare you?"

She nodded again.

"Oh May, I promise I will get Timothy back."

She smiled and hugged me.

"May? How old are you?"

"I'm ten years old, what's your name?"

I smiled.

"I'm Alina Abernathy I'm twenty-three."

She looked at me.

"Wow your so pretty!"

I smiled and blushed slightly.

" You flatter me, but May we need to talk about the murderer can you tell me who he was or what he looked like."

She looked down.

"He had White hair, and green eyes. He was also completely dressed in black."

The man from my childhood?

Is it him?

Why is he here?

May was silent.

I smiled.

"May thanks for-"

"He tied me up, and asked me many questions...He asked if he remembered the animal game or something about a raven."

I gasped 

Raven?

Animal game?

Did this man spy on me my whole life?

I gasped.

"May thank you so much! I think I have an idea who it is now."

I was about to leave when I felt a tug on my coat.

"Alina? Will you come back to visit me?"

I smiled.

"I promise, and I think tomorrow the lake is going to freeze over. We could probably go ice skating."

May's eyes light up.

I smiled and headed out.

I met Anita in the hallway.

"Thank you for helping us! You can come over anytime you like!"

She hugged me.

"I told her I might take her ice skating soon. I will take Timothy with us."

"Are you really that sure you'll find him?"

I looked at Anita.

"I promise."

I walked out the door, it was darkening outside.

I shut the door behind me and I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, and I blacked out.

Great I black out twice today...great

-----

I saw a girl dressed in white with a helm on her head her brown hair swishing around, she had white feathery angel wings.

She was an angel flying in the air with other angels.

On one side angels stood, on the other dark evil demons on the other.

With their pink eyes and black feathery wings.

I saw the girl swallow nervously.

-------

I watched as Akin got grabbed his bags and was about to leave.

I was sixteen, and parents thought that a nineteen year-old man should live on his own.

Before he got in the carriage I pulled on his coat.

"Akin please don't go! Take me with you!"

I saw a tears form in his eyes.

"You know I don't have the money to pay for you. I will get you when I have the chance."

I started to cry and he lifted up my chin.

"I will always be with you."

He grabbed a locket out of his coat and latched it around my neck.

"I promise."

He kissed my forehead, and that's when I saw him for the last time.

------

I opened my eyes, and I was in a dark room.

It smelled like vanilla

My favorite smell

"I'm glad to see you're awake."

I recognize that voice.

"Akin?!?"

I saw the white haired man, or Akin walk towards me.

Why didn't I see the resemblance before.

His twinkling green eyes

His white hair

His kind smile 

"Why are you taking all of these children?! What made you do this?"

He walked towards me.

"I was looking for you. I would take as many children as long as it meant they would give you back to me."

A tear formed and fell from my eye.

"You told me you would come back for me, and you never did."

I felt his hand on my shoulder.

"Will you please forgive me Alina? I realize it was wrong."

I looked into his eyes.

"You have grown into a beautiful young woman, and I'm so glad I get to see you again."

I hugged him, and he hugged me back.

"Alina I need you to know something."

I looked at him.

"I'm not human."
