A Little Hope (A Black Butler Fan Fiction)

Four

You wake up the next mourning. It was really early. You dress yourself in a black gown with a (f/c) floral pattern, (f/c) boots with black laces, and a black hat over your loose (h/l), (h/c) hair. Your bangs covered one of your eyes while the rest laid behind your hair, held with a hair clip. You put on your make up. You didn't bother to brush your hair, it was already fine enough. You walk out of your room and wander around your manor. you soon run into Jerrod. he looks at you in disbelief and then bows to you, "Why are you up so early Lady (y/n)?"

"I just wasn't tired so I got up," you lied. You walk away from him and back down the hallway. You had that nightmare again. There was just a different victim. Your little sister. You crack open her door and see her sleeping soundly in bed. You sigh with relief and shut her door. You continue to walk down the dark halls. Tears slide down your face at the thought of loosing Lucy. You quickly dry your tears and sit down against the wall. It may not be lady like, but no one else was around. You cross your legs at the ankles and pull your knees to your chest. What you would give to have your parents with you right now. You hold back your tears.

Meanwhile at the Phantomhive manor, Ciel is in his study thinking about you. How he saw you cry last night. He could have done something. He could have ran after you when you were grabbed. Sebastian walks into his study, "Here is your tea young master." He bows to Ciel as he takes a sip. Earl Grey tea. He set his cup down on the saucer and looked out of the window. There were his three other servants, Mey RIn, Finny, and Badroy. They were out in the garden. Ciel sighs and continues to think about what he could have done.

Back at your manor, you couldn't hold back your tears anymore, you were sobbing. Jiana walks down the hall towards you. You quickly dry your tears and stand up. Once you regain your composure, Jiana is right there, "Jerrod says that something seemed wrong with you lady (y/n). Is there anyway I can assist?" You quickly shake your head and run the other direction. Jiana frowns and walks away, back into the ballroom to clean it.  You step into the kitchen and see Todd. He looks at you a bit worried as he bows to you. The both of you hear the song again.

"Your skeleton forgot to bring its backbone. Next time pack it in your body bag. Your skeleton forgot to bring its backbone, Your broken ribs are cracking me up."

You gasp, hiking up your dress. You run swiftly to your sister's room, Todd close behind you. You forcefully open her door and it makes a loud SLAM. Your sister lazily rubs her eyes and looks over to you. You sigh with relief and hug the living crap out of her. Lucy hugs you back, "Is it twime to wake up swissy?" she asks. You shake your head, letting her go. She lays back down and closes her eyes. You kiss her forehead and leave.

"Please keep an eyes on her, Todd," you demand.

He nods and bows as you walk off. You hummed the catchy song. You loved the song, just not what followed it. Annabelle walks over to you. As she curtsies to you, you see a bright, fresh smudge of blood on her apron. You glare at her and say sternly, "Why is there blood on your apron Annabelle?"

She seems to tense up a bit, "We were transporting your parents to their resting place. Their funeral is today lady (y/n)."

"Oh okay," tears formed in your eyes as you walked away. You hated being in her presence. Annabelle walks off with a smirk on her face. She loved to see anyone unhappy. It pleasured her. You hear her chuckle from a distance. You roll your eyes at her behavior. You sit inside of the study and read. It was one of the few things you wanted to do, but you did. You read the first chapter of a book.

*time skip*

You, Lucy, Cole, and the servants are dressed in all black. Everyone in the building is crying. Well everyone except for Annabelle. She is smiling like a maniac. Why was it your parents that had to die? Why couldn't it have been you....... or Annabelle? Your brother holds your cold hand. You pull it away from him. You didn't want his care right now. You looked down at the earth, your tear drops falling onto the red carpet. Lucy was sobbing. It is heard throughout the building. It brings down everyone's mood even more. Well, except for Annabelle. It makes her want to laugh so hard and loud that it was louder than your little sister's sobs. Annabelle holds it in though. She seemed to obsess over other people's pain and sorrow. You frown at that.
