Chapter 4

---

You held your head in frusteration. You forgot totally about school! Hopefully your friend told the teacher. Hopefully.

Later that evening, you sat in the middle of the garden petting Pluto as he lazily slept. Then you began to ponder. Why did your life choose to bring you here? Why not a regular hospital?

You looked up at the sky as stars were about to be seen and the moon was faintly in the sky. You shivered as a cold breeze ran past you. Pluto was starting to snore, so you decided to head back inside. The warmth reached you and you smiled with delight.

"You're awfully quiet," you heard Ciel say.

"Well, sometimes there is nothing to really say..." you said.

"I heard you've been looking for Grell," he said. You shivered. How did he know? Also, you wondered what that eye patch was hiding.

"Uh, yeah," you said. "I just have questions. You see, I've researched this mansion and your servants were there. It explained about Grell, how he messed up everything, and I'm just curious about him."

"Oh," Ciel said. You smiled and nodded your head.

"Well, I will invite him over tomorrow. You can have a decent conversation with him then," he said as he headed back to his study. You can finally ask him stuff.

When Ciel sent everyone to bed, you just wondered to yourself. All the meandering in your mind made you fall asleep. Although, you had a nightmare.

//You were in darkness. A candle was lit, and you were sitting in a chair. You tried getting up but your arms were tied behind your back. Then you noticed your bandage was off and you were healed. Meanwhile, a voice tore the silence.

"Why hello, (Y/N)," he said. Who was it? No one you really knew. Definently not Ciel or Sebastian. He sounded a tad like Ciel but a little higher.

"W-Who are you?" you stuttered trying to wrangle your hands free.

"I know that you know me," he said. You couldn't see him anywhere. You squinted your eyes but it felt like you were the only one there. Alone in the dark. Alone in the depths. Alone...

"I do?" you asked the stranger. Maybe you did know him. He had a similar accent like yours. British. Was he a cousin? A relative?

"Yes, but it is your job to find out who it is," he said as the candle light blew out. You felt his presence behind you. What was he going to do? How did you know him?

"Just show me your face!" you said a little louder. You looked around. It felt like your eyes were shut, but they were not. It felt like being blind in the darkness. It felt like it was closing in on you.

"No, because you already know what I look like," he said a little louder. "Although, we are related. That is your only hint." You knew it. "We haven't really seen each other since we were like... 7 or 8 years old..."

"David?" you asked.

"No," he said.

"Franklin?" you asked again.

"No," he said once again.

"George?!" you asked one last time.

"Just give up," he said. You felt frusterated. "Okay, time to stop invading your 'dream'," he said at last before he clapped his hands two times and left. You were puzzled.

"Leave the Phantomhive mansion, now!" you heard his last boom before waking up.\\

You sat up and saw a bright light. It was a candle with Mey-Rin behind it.

"Master told me to check in on you," she said, "because he heard you screaming a little."

"Oh," you said, "it was just a nightmare."

"Oh, okay. I'll tell him that. Sweet dreams!" she said leaving. You took an hour or two just laying there thinking:

'Who was it?'

In the morning, you felt weak and tired. You ponder too much. You rushed through breakfast and awaited Grell's arrival. After waiting for about thirty minutes, he arrived.

"Hey Sebby! Hey Ciel! Hi Finnian! Hello-- why, who might you be?" he looked down at you with a grin. His teeth were sharp and he had long red hair. He looked kind of like a... girl.

"(Y/N). Now sit down," you said. He took a seat. "I have gotten a dilema of questions for you." He nodded. "First question, what was one mistake you made while serving the Master?"

He thought for a moment. "I was cutting the hedges," he started, "when I wasn't paying attention and cut them all into giant skulls.

"Okay..." you said as you recorded it in your notebook. "Second question, are you related to Madame Red in any way?"

"Uh, not that I know of..." he said. You recorded that down, too.

"Alright, third. What do you use as a weapon?" you asked.

"A chainsaw," he answered. You recorded it down.

~Time Skip 2 Hours~

"Thanks, Grell," you said as you gave him a hug and flipped through your notes you gathered. For some reason, you've been into reapers for awhile. Ever since you were a child, you loved reaper shows. There you were, pondering and walking at the same while flipping through the notes.

CRASH

You fell and awaited to feel your head crash against to hard floors, but it never happened. Then you opened your eyes and saw Ciel staring at you. Your face heated up and you blushed the tomato red. The red of the tomatoes you and your mother picked.

"I'm so so sorry!" you said. "I should look where I am going when walking! Please forgive me!"

"Calm down," he said as he gently got you off of him. "It was an accident." You smiled and brushed yourself off.

"Are you mad?" you asked worrily.

"Not at all," he said. You nodded and went to your room to put your notebook away. As you put your notebook, you noticed an album in your bag.

'Must've had that sitting there snce I was little,' you thought as you took it out. You sat on your bed and opened it up. You first saw a picture of you and your mother. You were only two years. Then came pictures of you and your cousins. You missed the smiles of Rosie, the closest cousin to you. Sadly, she was sent to the USA because of her fathers job. You also missed Rodrick. He was ten years old when you were born. You and him did a lot together. Although he moved to Sweden for an unknown reason.

Then came pictures you had no idea existed.

There was one of you and your dad. You remember the strong scent of cologne on him. Then there was one of you and another boy. He looked older than you- only a year- and he had blonde hair a clear blue eyes. On the top of the picture is said, 'Siblings Forever'. You had an unknown brother. You thought hard for a moment.

'What was his name?' you thought to yourself. Then you turned the page and your eyes widened. His name was clearly painted on his birthday cake in the picture.

"Alois!"
