Hi peeps! This is the first fanfic I've ever written so here ya go! I'm not sure how well the characters stayed in...well, character so let me know if there's anything I can improve! I don't own Kuroshitsuji or any of its characters! I do own OC though...alrighty then. Enjoy!

I love twilight. No, not the book series and movie franchise Twilight. I love the period during the day where, after the sun shines its final rays of the day and sinks below the horizon, the blood orange, dark blue and purple hues mingle with landscape. Perhaps this is why I always find myself wondering around outside during twilight. I like to trace the final breaths of the sun as it drips off the horizon and as a result, I often end up lost in the dark once the sun completely goes down. Which is a problem, as my eyesight is horrible in the dark. It's a dangerous game of me wanting to see the sun at its most beautiful point, right before it drops down the horizon, and of me struggling to get home in one piece.

One particular night, the sunset was abnormally red, as if someone had slaughtered all the animals on a farm and spilled the blood over the sky. Anyways, the sky reflected the almost violent red into my window. I had just started my reading assignment for class but the color of the sunset was too demanding to be ignored. I put on my dark grey wool coat, put on my fleece scarf as I know the fall English nights could get quite nippy, and wore my white knit cap and matching gloves. I put on some fuzzy toe socks and stepped into my boots. The only possession I brought with me was the house key as well as my phone and earphones; I would need to call someone or use a map if I end up lost again (which I probably will).

I stepped outside my humble cottage and locked the door. I breathed in the chilly air and looked out to the woods and saw a little bit of sun peaking out through the trees of the forest. Perfect…I wasn't too late I thought as I started to trace the sun rays and the shadows across the forest ground. I kept following the receding rays until it was finally twilight. I picked a comfy looking tree and sat down facing the dark purple and blue horizon. I put in one of the earbuds and just stared at the sky. I particularly like to listen to my musics while viewing nature because, embarrassingly enough, it makes me feel like I'm in a movie. Like I am the lost main character, looking to nature for an answer to life while the movie soundtrack played in the background. I also enjoy hearing the wind and leaves fluttering about and the sound of owls hooting and welcoming the night. There's something about being alone in the woods at twilight that just soothes me…it makes me feel…very relaxed…

Shit!

My eyes flew open to see that the sun already went down. I tried to stand up but realized that, not only were my legs asleep, but because of the cold, my body wasn't moving like how I wanted.

It's so fricking cold! How long have I been asleep?

I bent forward, all the while shivering, and pushed myself up with my hands. I pulled out my ear bud and tucked the earphone into my pocket. I then checked my phone and saw that it was 8:37 pm. Since the sun set at 4:30 pm, and twilight usually comes about 10-15 minute after the sunset, I had been asleep for about three hours. I looked around and squinted, trying to make out my surroundings in the dark. I think I came from that way…. I had been trying to teach myself to get home based on direction and instinct but so far, my sense of direction was as great as my night vision, which was shitty.

I almost pulled my phone out but then decided to just try my luck at getting home. After all, what is life without a little adventure? I put my arms forward like a zombie chasing after brains and felt my way around the woods.

I'm pretty sure I came from this way…so I'll go that way. If i really can't find my cottage, I can always just use my phone.

Suddenly, I heard a rustle. It sounded like it came from far away but I definitely heard it. Then I heard a barely audible thud. I continued in that direction when I heard another rustle that was immediately followed by another thud.

What the heck was that?

I kept walking toward the weird rustle-thud sounds until I reached the location of the weird sounds.

Rustle, gurgle, thud.

Wait, gurgle? What the heck?

I frowned at the unexpected noise when suddenly, an unnatural breeze blew by me and then there was something cold on my neck. I felt the presence of someone behind me and I froze. I was about to turn my head around to see who it was when I heard him speak.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Hehehe sorry! I hate cliffhangers too but they exist for a reason :3 I'm not sure how long this will go but for now, it seems that this story won't end anytime soon so if you're in this for the long run, hang tight and let's see where this goes! Thank you for reading :)
