Disclaimer: sorry if some characters seem out of character. I only own my oc's. Alessa belongs to Black Jinx.

"Hey Alessa, what are you planning to do for your science project?" I ask my best friend. She looked at me with bored, dark eyes.

She thought for a couple seconds then replied "Um, I don't know. I was thinking about doing mine on Hydraulics. I'm not sure how to make a model of it though."

"You don't need to make a model. There're other things you can do. I'm going to make a power point. I think I'll do mine on solar power though." I said thoughtfully trying to give her some ideas for her project. After all, it was a project that would ultimately affect our grade for the semester.

"Maybe. I don't know. Could I go to your house and work with you on it?" she asked, looking at her dark fingerless gloves. At times, I wondered what life was life for her. Where I was mouthy, she was silent and obedient. Just then, the bell rang pulling me from my thoughts yet again.

"I'll ask, I don't think my parents will care, after all it's for school." I said with a smile as we left the dreaded classroom to yet another.

"So will I. I can call before class, so I got to go. See you after class." She said as she started ahead of me.

We were talking as we walked down the stairs from the third floor to the second. At the bottom we split.

"Meet here?" I asked.

"Like always." she said with a smile. It was a wonder to me. Before we met, it was rare to see her smile a genuine one such as that. It made me feel just a little content.

I went left to Lyon's room, while she went right to Groebner's room. We were both heading to English, just with different teachers. To be honest, it sucked. The longest forty-five minutes of my life passed uneventful and pointless, but I was stuck.

After class we met up again, as soon as we could find each other through the crowd of students flooding the stairwell.

"I got a hold of my mom. She said it would be okay!" Alessa said excitedly smiling.

"Cool same here!" I replied knowing without a doubt my parents were not informed of our last minute plans just yet. They thought Alessa was cool so she could come and go as she pleased. Although, I was always informed by her before she showed up.

After school, we headed to my house to work on our projects. I worked on my laptop, and she worked on hers, we exchanged ideas on each other's topics, while sitting next to each other on the couch in my living room.

When we finished our projects, supper was ready so we headed to the kitchen eager for lasagna. We both found it to be amazing as always. We both loved it. After supper my mom asked me to fold laundry. So, we both headed down to the basement. As I went to go get the laundry, my mom shouted down the stairs "We're going to go get a tan, okay?" She said as she closed the door behind her, not waiting for a response. I shrugged and continued as i emptied the dryer.

I brought the laundry to the room we folded laundry in, meeting Alessa with a laundry basket in my arms. We were about to start folding laundry when we both got hit in the back of the head, I saw her fall down, just before I got hit. Then everything fizzled to darkness in dizzying spots.

…

"When did she get there? Who is she? Where's Sebastian when we need him?" I heard a male voice say.

"I found him! He is on his way!" I heard a female voice coming, and running footsteps, they were hers. I could tell from the sound of her heels clacking on a hard floor. "He will be here in a few minutes. He is bringing tea to master."

"Okay, he better hurry up though. I think she might be dead." Another voice said, that sounded panicked.

Just as the male voice said that I felt hands look for a pulse on my neck. Then the person doing so said "She's not dead, she's just about to wake up. Go get Master. He'll let us know what to do. All three of you go, I'll stay here." Then I heard the retreating footsteps of the three strange people. 'Why were they talking so differently?'

"Open your eyes, I know you're awake, you can stop faking now." He said to me.

"Where am I?" I asked as I rolled to look up at him. He had black hair that was a little disorganized, and unsettling red eyes that made my skin crawl. He was also wearing a suit and gloves, similar to that of a butler. 'How strange.' I thought.

"Your safe for now, your just not in your time." He said and helped me stand up. Although, as soon as I was up, my head felt like an atomic bomb was going off and nearly lost my balance. I would have if Sebastian hadn't caught me and held me upright.

"What a strange outfit. Sebastian do you know who she is?" I heard a male behind me say. I didn't turn though. I was frozen in place looking at the guy named Sebastian. He looked familiar. As I thought about it through the killer headache, I noticed that he looked like the butler from the anime and manga Kuroshitsuji I had just recently started.

"No it appears that she has somehow arrived here by accident. She has no family either, from what I understand. What would you like done, master?" he asked his master as he turned me to face an eleven-year-old boy with an eye patch.

"How old is she?" he asked sounding rather impatient.

"She is sixteen, my lord." Sebastian replied giving me a look that said 'Keep your mouth shut.' I gladly did. Talking hurt my head even more.

"You said she has no family?" the boy asked. I noticed his hair had a tinge of blue and I felt that his name was Ciel.

"Yes, that is correct." Sebastian answered lying easily through his teeth.

"She will live here then, as part of my family, adopted in." he answered and spun on his heel like he had somewhere to be.

"Okay, shall I bring her to a room of her own?" the well dressed butler asked.

"Yes, and please find a-" he stopped and thought for a moment "more descent outfit for her also." then turned and was gone.

"Alright." Sebastian said basically under his breath.

After that he lead me to a room and told me it was now mine, and told me to stay here while he went to get a dress for me. After he left I snooped around my room. The bed was really comfortable, and the closet was huge. The whole room in general was about the size of the first floor of my house.

After looking around and he hadn't arrived back, I quickly became bored. So, to play with time, I thought back to what he said. "Your safe. Your just not in your time." What on earth did he mean by that. Plus he lied. I had a family. And he never asked me about that to begin with. 'When he gets back I will ask him.' I decided. 'I wonder What he meant by "part of my family".. Surely I couldn't stay here forever.'

Just after thinking that he walked in with some bags over his arm. He laid one on the bed and the other two he hung up. The two bags and some uncomfortable looking heels were all that was placed in the closet. All of which had just been placed there.

An hour later, after a long stressful argument, me losing of course, he had managed to get me in a frilly puffy, floor length dress. The dress was rather uncomfortable, and worst of all, it was bright light pink with red ribbons, bows and more frills to accent the pink. I have no idea how on earth he won that one. I hated dresses since I was seven, and here I was wearing one against my will, and worst of all, I was smiling. On the inside of course, I was scowling, and cursing him. The only reason I was smiling was because he had somehow managed to convince me, more like threaten me, but still. Stupid Demon.
