     "Hmmm?..what's this?.." You say when your butler Alexander walks in with an envelope enclosed with red wax,on a shiny silver tray. "It is a invitation from the Phantomhive estate,M'lady" he says bowing down an holding the tray out to you. You grab the envelope and the letter opener which was on the tray as well. You open up the letter and begin to read it,it said;

* Dear [Name] of the Covington estate,

  I am inviting you to the annual Costume Gala gathering,this year it is being held at my manor,and it would be quite swell if you could join us.Your butler and servants are able to attend as well,hope to see you there Lady [Name]. 
                                                                    ~Ciel Phantomhive *

* flash back*
  "Where are my mother and father?!" You screamed as two men with masks carry you away. You were only 15 years old then. Your family had hosted the annual Costume Gala that year,the party was crashed with a ton of men with white masks in black suits.They were scattered through out your manor and they kid napped you and abducted your parents.They brought you to a dark room,your fathers office, you heard muffled screams,and the men dragged you in and shut the door. 

  They turned on the light to reveal both your parents strapped to chairs with cloth in their mouths.An man in a black suit and black mask looked over at you and laughed. "Oh what a beautiful girl you turned out to be [Name],so grown up..." He said chuckling,moving closer to you. You were still struggling in the two men'a grasp on both your shoulders and arms. "Let go of me!" You growled through your teeth,wiggling about 
in their hold,trying to get free. The man just laughed even more and bent down to look you face to face. He grabbed your face forcing you to look at him. He slowly reaches his other hand up and pulls his mask off,he seemed familiar and you gave him a confused face.

      "What?...Don't you remember your uncle Ricardo?.." Your eyes widen in surprise. "U-uncle Ricardo?..." You say quietly,searching through your memory for an uncle Ricardo. "I haven't seen you in nine years..you were a sweet little girl...but now your practically a grown woman.." He said putting his hand on your waist "get away from me pervert!!" You screamed as backed away. 

   "Fine...but your not the only reason why I'm here...I'm here for my revenge..see...your father isn't supposed to get the family heir...I was the eldest son,but mom and dad  always favorited this little shit!" He said as he brought out a gun from his suit jacket and put it to your fathers head. Ricardo removed the cloth from your fathers mouth,your father coughing and gagging a bit. "Don't you dare touch my little girl again!!!!" Your father yelled as Ricardo started to laugh. "Oh you can't do shit little brother..." And he cocked the gun,pulling down on the hammer making a click sound that echoed throughout the room along with his demonic laugh. 

   You and your mother started to cry,but your father didn't,he was strong,one of the strongest people he knew. He looked over to you and smiled, he mouthed "I love you my sweet darling..take care of our manor" that was the last memory of your living father as your uncle Ricardo pulled the trigger, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" You screamed at the top of your lungs and the air in your lungs seemed to rush out with your scream,you squeeze your eyes shut and blood splattered around the room.

      After about a minute of silence you open your eyes,you seen your fathers limp body in the chair and your mother was weeping and screaming in they chair she was tied up in next to your now lifeless father,she was also covered in blood. You cried too,and tears flowed from your eyes down your face,like a beautiful sad river. You said a little prayer of the dead in your head to bless your father on his journey of peace to heaven,at least he was in piece..but now he couldn't protect you and your mother..and you two were alone without him..surrounded by evil men who wanted your family dead,so he could become heir to the throne.  

   He walked over to your mother and he wiped the blood of your father of his face so he could continue in his brutal murdering. He held the gun up to your moms head now and she looked over at you "be strong baby girl,me and father love you very much..and well see you soo-" she didn't even get to finish her sentence as Ricardo shot a bullet through her head,the same thing that happened to your father,her body became limp in the chair. It was an awful sight to see,almost like a nightmare... 

  You screamed,you didn't know what to do,just then at that very moment you felt something deep inside you that seemed to break and fall apart,almost like a frail flower trying to hold onto that last petal before it fell,but the flower inside you couldn't hold much longer as that last deep red rose petal floated down slowly,hitting the ground and turning black and dead. That was your heart,your mind,your humanity,your love,your sanity...all destroyed..the people whom you've loved the most had been killed right before your very eyes.....

   Now uncle Ricardo moved towards you,with a wicked grin on his face. "You sick bastard!!!" You screamed as the tears stopped flowing,now you were angry,your heart filled deeply with anger and hatred..you wanted revenge..but you couldn't do anything..you felt weak. Ricardo ignored your comment and moved closer to you "and now for the finale...such a waist..a sweet girl like you..." And then he slowly brought the gun up to your head,you watched it in slow motion,you squeezed your eyes shut again,waiting for the pain,or release,or anything that you would feel to strike throughout your body,you waited for your death you knew would come. 

  But it didn't,you thought uncle Ricardo played a trick on you and you opened your eyes,his body was standing there,just standing there..the gun still to your head,and then you seen the circle of men including your uncle Ricardo fall backwards,they were all.....dead.... but how..how'd they die so quickly? ..did someone kill them?..and if they did..how did they manage to do it so fast?...all those questions ran through your mind as you scanned the room,you were still very confused..was this all a Nightmare?.. 

  Then your eyes came across to glowing orbs that floated in a dark corner,it moved,it seemed to be coming closer,then you see the outline of a face,it stepped closer,it was a man,now it was all the way out of the darkness and it stood in front of you. It was a handsome man,he wore a suit,much like a butler would wear.He walked up to you and bowed at his waist.

    "Good evening M'lady,I am Alexander Royale,I'm sorry to have startled you,your guest are now safe and of no threat,ive escorted all of them out, and you are also safe now" he said calmly, 'so he did kill all these men..how? ....' You thought in your head. The words were trapped inside you you didn't know what to say. "I'm truly sorry for your loss" he continued as it finally struck you again,your parents really were gone,but for some reason you felt no pain,it felt like your soul and emotion died along with them. 

  "Th-thank you sir Royale,but may I ask..did you really kill all these men and purge my manor of this evil filth?" You say looking at the strange man with black hair and a pale face,that made his blue eyes stand out even more,like a deep ocean. He nodded "yes, Lady Covington" you looked at him confused again,how did he manage to kill them all,and so quickly...it also amazed you the way he called you 'Lady Covington' one;that he knew your family name, and two;that you've never been called that before,but it was true..it was you who now owned the manor,and you alone.

   "H-how may I repay you sire?.." You said as he stepped even closer to you, "Well I know it might be sudden but I'd like to make a proposition" He said and you nodded. "You are too young to handle this manor alone,you need assistance,and I'd be honored to help you miss,and I'd like to be your personal servant..Your butler.." He said and he were quite shocked,it was quite sudden you barley knew this man,but he didn't seem like a threat,his soft calm voice still running through your mind. 

    He was right,you did need him and you both knew it,you were only 15,and hadn't lived  a day of your life without your parents,but now you were alone. You thought for a moment, "I accept,but I will still owe you..how am I to be repaying you?.." You ask, "This is where we are to make a deal,you need me,and I need you...I am a demon.." He said and paused as you gasped backing up a little. 

   "It is true,I do eat souls,but I'm not heartless like you think,I can sense your soul,it is beautiful,with the scent of a rose,but it is partially broken,soon you'd go crazy..and I'd be hear to keep you sane,if you offer me your soul,I'll serve you..and I'd serve you till the day you want to give your soul up completely.." 

   You were really shocked,and if you had emotions,you'd definitely be in fear,but you didn't care about life,and you realized you'd be making a deal with a demon..is that really what you wanted?..is he really what you need to stay same and alive?..perhaps...but you wouldn't know unless you tried. You decided to accept his offer,  "Alexander Royale,I accept your offer,but under one condition...you are to protect me,and my manor, and to be absolutely sure we will not encounter a problem like this again" you say looking around at all the dead bodies. 

  Alexander nods his head "of course M'lady,that would be at the top of my list of importance,I wouldn't your life slip out of my mind...I will protect you with all my power...."
