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

Chapter 4

With you, I found a new way to life

I see an alternative

Now we started, we can't stop it

I, I didn't mean to fall in love

Last thing I was thinking of

Was you and me, but we collided

Since four weeks you were living in the Rainsworth manor house. You became good friends with Sharon and Xerxes Break. He made you feel special...

Right now you were sitting in a spell circle and Break "talked" to Kaichō, who sat in another spell circle. It rather was torture; Break hit him with his stick or sword or what ever it was and Kaichō, who was unable to move - because of the spell circle - just screamed. Break didn't seem to care, how much he was suffering, he just went on and on to him.

You couldn't feel Kaichōs' pain; your spell circle prevented it.

"Understood?", Break asked him after a while.

"Yeah, I won't do anything to her anymore", Kaichō cried, "Now please stop this"

Break looked at you.

"It's enough, Break. I'm sure he's serious."

He nodded and dissolved the spell circles. Immediately, Kaichō disappeared.

You stood up. "Thank you, Break."

"It's fine... But what about you, are you ok? Did you feel anything?" You shook your head.

"Then...let's have some tea!"

You smiled. Then the two of you went back to the saloon. Break drank tea and ate cake, cookies and every kind of sweets. 'Why the hell doesn't he become fat?', you thought.

Break wanted to do something at Pandora, so you drank your tea with Sharon. "You're looking sad", she said.

"I...found something out...at Pandora, some weeks ago"

"And? What was it?"

"Something... about my parents... And my past..."

"You found it in a folder, right?"

"Yeah, a folder about things that happend about ten years ago...How did you know?"

"Just an idea. (y/n), maybe it's better to tell this Break...and not me, he knows more than me about these folders."

You nodded.

"I really like this red dress...and also the other new dresses. You know red is one of my favorite colours.", you said to change the topic.

"Oh do you?" Sharon seemed surprised. "Break chose them for you, he said, that red would suit you perfectly."

You blushed. "He? Oh. I didn't know that, he didn't tell me"

Sharon laughed.

You drank the rest of your tea and stood up. "I need some fresh air" with these words you went outside. So much happened in the last weeks. Everything went too fast...

~

It still was winter, but today it was unnaturally warm. You looked around. Nobody was in the grand garden. 'Good', you thought, 'Maybe I can relax a bit by singing... I'm alone so nobody will hear it'

And so you started to sing a song, you had heard when you where a child. You didn't know how long you stood there, but suddenly a voice from behind you stopped you.

"Nice song, (y/n)-chan! You have a great voice!"

"Break...how? I didn't hear you come" you blushed, when you saw him. 'Damn it...he heard me', you thought.

Break smiled. "We have visitors, so ... let's go back?" You nodded and followed him back to the manor house.

Break and Sharon introduced the visitors as Alice, Oz Vessalius and Gilbert Nightray. "And you are...?", Alice asked. She seemed to be a really lively person. "She's (y/n)-chan", said Break. You faced him angrily. "No, just (y/n)."
Oz laughed. "You two are very close, right?"

"Of course not!", you shouted. Your face must have looked like a tomato...That was intolerable! You tried to run out of the room, but Break grabbed your arm. "What's up with you today? You look sad and you're so...irritable"

"I..." First you wanted to tell him about what you found out, but then you realised that this was not the right moment "I'll wait in my room, tell me, when we're going to have dinner."
You broke away from him.

Break came out of the wardrobe in your room.

"Still sulky?"

"I'm not sulky!" You lifted your head to look in his eye. His wonderful crimson eye, just like dark roses...

"How do you do this?"

"How do I do what?"

"Appearing, disappearing and reappearing under beds and tables and coming out of cupboards and wardrobes"

He smirked. "I can show you" Break took your hand. Again, you felt warmth flowing through your body. He lead you to the wardrobe and opened its doors. "Now let's do some pranks"

~

"I don't know why, but Break treats her diffrently...He's more careful so...gentle..."

You heard Sharons' voice when you and Break appeared under the big table in the saloon. You put away the tablecloth and looked into Alice' terrified face.

"Boo!", you shouted. She jumped up and screamed. You laughed and took place.

"Oh no! Now we have two clowns!", Alice cried.

"And still one stupid rabbit", squeaked the doll on Breaks' shoulder.

He giggled. "Oi Emily! It's not nice to tell the truth!"

"Emily?", You looked up, "Is that the name of the doll?"

"Yeah, of course it's my name, whose else?", the doll squeaked again.

"Eh you clowns! I will teach you how to fear."
Alice was enraged and started chasing after you and Break. You two laughed and the appearing, disappearing and reappearing began again.
