Pandora Hearts Xerxes Break x Reader: From Darkness to Light [1]

Chapter 3

I'm going through the same day

Same place, same way I always do

Then I saw you from the corner of my eye

And it hit me like a ton of bricks, I can't lie

Oh you got to me

My life was alright living in black and white

But you changed my point of view

(Hurry up and save me - Tiffany Giardina)

Break opened the carriage door and helped you out. There you stood, infront of another big building with many people around it. Most of them wore an uniform, just like Break.

"Is this the Pandora uniform?", you asked him and pointed at his clothes, the black coat with the white shoulders, the black trousers and the bizarre shoes.

"Right. You will also get one"

You followed your companion until you reached the stairs, there you paused and looked around; everybody was watching each single of your movements.

Break turned around. He was already on the stairs and seemed a bit tense.

"What are you waiting for?"

He came back down and took your hand. You shoudered.

"Why are they all staring at me?!", you whispered.

"They don't know you, so they are just curious. Ignore them!"

He dragged you up the stairs and opened the large door.

"Welcome to Pandora!", the little doll squeaked, which still sat on his shoulder.

After about 10 minutes walking and changing perceived a million floors, the two of you met a man with long blond hair that was tied behind his neck. His eyes had diffrent colours: one was red and the other one was yellow. Next to him was a girl with short blue hair and white and blue coloured, strange clothes. Break moaned.

Only now you noticed, that he was a bit taller than you.

"Lo and behold! Isn't that Break?! And look at this cute girl next to him! He indeed found a girlfriend and such a nice one! What a waste! Haha, I really thought, he would die as a virgin..." The man said with not to miss malicious joy in his voice.

"That takes the biscuit! You damn Nightray-rat! Peg out!" Break boiled with rage. You were just blushing.

"Em… I'm not his girlfriend", you said to save the day.

"I should have known" The "Nightray-rat" shook his head, then he faced you.

"I'm Vincent Nightray, but call me Vincent. This is my servant, Echo." He pointed at the girl with the blue hair.

"Between, what's your name?" "I'm (y/n), nice to meet you Vincent and Echo!"

Vincent looked at his watch. "Sadly, I have to go now, but maybe we can chat a bit later, if your dog agrees"

He bowed and took your hand, to kiss it, but Break pushed him away. "Certainly not, you rat! And don't touch her. If you do it, she'll get ill." He grabbed your arm and dragged you onwards.

"We're off!", he shouted.

Break opened another door and pulled you in a room. In front of you was a desk and behind it sat a man. "She wants to work at Pandora, can you give her an application form?", Break asked. The man nodded and gave you a note. "Make out this form", he muttered.

You were almost done. As a last resort, you had to specify the date of your birth.

"Ah, this is in three month", Break whispered, when he saw the date. You smiled.

Then you gave the application form back to the man behind the desk and Break and you left the room.

~

"Now we're finally alone!", said Break when you reached his office.

You looked at some files, which lay on another desk. "What's this?", you asked.

"Huh, just some documents about the incidents in the last ten years."

You shuddered.

"Can I take a look at them?"

"Sure, I don't really need them. Shall I make some tea in the meantime?"

"Yes, please"

You took place on an an old couch and looked at a one of the folders. Then you found a document, wich let your blood run cold. It was about that day. But you hadn't enought time to think about it, cause in this moment Break came back, with a tray on his head.

"Don't get near to Vincent Nightray, ok?", he whispered and sat down next to you.

"Ok "

He glanced at you. "Found something intresting?" Fast, you closed the folder and shook your head.

He smirked and gave you a cup with tea. "(y/n)-chan, I said, I would tell you about me and my past, do you want to hear it now?" You nodded.

~About one hour later~

"I summarize: ", you said when Break finished talking, "Your real name is Kevin Regnard, you worked for the Sinclair family and when you came back from a walk with their youngest daughter, everybody was dead. Then you entered a contract with a chain named Albus, to undo their death. You killed many people and after all, Albus dragged you into the Abyss. There you met Alice, the will of the Abyss, a girl with white hair and a white dress. She took your left eye and you made a deal with her: she turned back the time for the Sinclairs' and you had to find an option, that she wouldn't have to be the will of the Abyss anymore, when you would be back in this world. So she 'let you go' and you came back to this world, but now it was 'some' years later and you weren't at the Sinclair family, but at the Rainsworth family and started working for them. Now you want to know what happened about hundret years ago, at the time of the tragedy of sablier and until now you didn't find an option for the will of the abyss."

You took a sip of your tea. Silence. Finally you said something: "So you're the red eyed ghost... Does Pandora know-"

"No, of course not! And I won't tell them and you won't either, promise me!" You nodded. "I promise."

Break smiled and with one sip he made his cup empty. He stood up to bring back the tea cups and the teapot.

"We should work now", he said when he came back.

"Work?", you asked.

"Of course! I have to write some reports and you will help me!", he purred. You moaned, but you began with your work.

"That was the last one!", said Break some reports later and looked at you, but you couldn't hear him: you slept. You were still weak.

"She fell asleep!", said the little doll disgusted.

"Right Emily, she's really a rude girl, but I think she's also very fragile, we have to be careful", Break quipped. He wrapped one arm around your legs and the other one around your shoulders and picked you up.

"Now, now Emily, let's carry sleeping beauty home"

AN: I tried to get some structure in it, hope I did it right.
