The Raven Queen [Sebastian x Reader]

*~Chapter Three~*

I arrive at school and go through all the lessons until its lunch time and all my peers file into the lunch room and I go and sit at one of the back tables by yourself, I don't feel like talking to anyone right now I just want to study for a test that I have to take once I get back to class. As I pull out my packed lunch from my school bag I remembered the bunny that I had gotten for Neil and decided to take it out to calm my nerves about the test. I open a text book I borrowed from the teacher and began to study but I kept thinking about my past for some reason, "It seems as though my brain can't be bothered to try and study at the moment." I mumble and rest my head on the table and look at the bunny sighing.

I see the little paper tag sticking off the bottom of the stuffed toy's foot and decide to look at it closer to see if I can't calm my nerves, it has this very familiar logo on it; another bunny with a design circling it. "Hmmmm" I start to read the fine print under the logo taking a bite of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich (to be quite frank, I hate PB&J and I'm sorry if you feel the same way I just didn't know what else to make you eat! Sorry Reader-chan!), Produced by Funtom Company©, Made in the UK at the Phantomhive Warehouse. I choke on my sandwich as I read the last part "WHAT?!" A few people turn and look at me because of my sudden outburst so I just out my head down and gulp trying not to freak out. So many questions are going through my head "MY last name is Phantomhive! Who could possibly be running the family company?! No one from my family could be doing this!!! They're all...dead..." I sit up and put a hand over my mouth "OR MAYBE NOT!!!! MAYBE CIEL SURVIVED SOMEHOW!!!!!" I jump out of my seat and throw all my stuff into my school bag and run out of the school and make a bee-line for home.

As soon as I get to the house I hear the phone ringing so I run over to the phone answering it immediately, "H-hello?" I say out of breath

"(Y/n)?!" a voice i immediately recognize as my foster mother's said surprisingly.

"Y-yes, Mrs. Smith?" I say gulping knowing fully well that she called so she can inquire my absence from school, word gets around fast with the school.

"Why on earth are you not at school?! Why did you run off?" she says with a bit of concern laced into her voice, "Is everything alright? I heard you had a little outburst before running off in such a hurry,"

"I-I...uh..." I suddenly get very nervous, she knew of my past and she was always so kind to me because of it, she became like my second mother and i couldn't be happier to have her especially because Mr. Smith isn't all that fond of me.

"(Y/n)? Honey? Speak to me, please. Tell me you're okay?" she says now fully concerned.

"I-I think my brother is alive..." I stutter and realize how crazy I might sound right now.

"What? Darling, you said your family died in a fire. How could he possibly-"

"Well someone is using the Warehouse and is continuing manufacturing Funtom Company goods" I say cutting her off, I understand it's impolite but I just needed her to see where I'm coming from.

A long silence is heard from the other end of the line, just as I am opening my mouth to say something she beats me to it "I'm coming home. End of story, you just sit down and wait. No more running off you hear?"

"Yes, Ma'am." I reply and frown as she bids me farewell and hangs up. I sit at the table trying to formulate what to say to Mrs. Smith when she gets home. "Idiot, what are you going to do about this anyways?!" I growl at myself realizing that running from school and worrying my foster mother was pointless. "Why would I worry everyone if I'm doing anything about this?!" I tug at my hair and then stop opening my eyes wide. "I'm going there." I stand up and put my hands in fists, "I. Am. Going." I run to my room and start packing my things, "Even if it isn't Ciel it should be someone of relevance to me, maybe family? I really want it to be Ciel though!" I zipper up my luggage containing all my clothes and only necessary items and am walking downstairs when Mrs. Smith is opening the front door.

"(Y/n)? What exactly are you doing?"

I froze in my step, "Uh- I-I-I'm going to England?" I say fidgeting not daring to look at Mrs. Smith.

"Pardon?" she says as if she didn't hear me correctly then lets out a little laugh and shakes her head grabbing my hand and brings me to a chair at the table and she then proceeds to sit across from me, "What gave you such a silly idea?" she says her small thin lips forming a comforting smile.

"M-my family might be alive. But even if they're not, isn't it my duty to show up and get all their inheritance and continue the work they left?" I say becoming more confident in this idea.

Mrs. Smith brings a hand up to her face and shakes her head, her emerald eyes seem hurt and her soft lush caramel hair falls in front of her face slightly, "What about us? You are basically a part of this family, you're like the daughter I could never have. Are you really serious about just picking up and leaving us?"

I frown not realizing that this could've potentially hurt them. "I-I very much appreciated all of you opening your doors and hearts to me, but if I really have a chance of seeing my brother again then that is what I am going to have to do. I'm sorry." I stutter as tears threaten to cloud my vision and I look up at Mrs. Smith.

She just gets up and hugs me tightly, "Very well. I shall arrange plans for your departure immediately, if I'm not mistaken, a ship should be leaving tomorrow for London. You best stay for Neil to get home from school and we can celebrate his birthday and your departure, also Mr. Smith would probably like to send you off with his blessings as well"

I smile and start to cry "Oh thank you Mrs. Smith!!!" I hug back tightly. I couldn't be more ecstatic right now, I'm actually going back to England in less than 24 hours!!!
