Morning

I woke up with a massive headache. Well, I guess sleeping on the dirty, cold stone floor will do that you. I stretched a bit before attempting to lie back down; however, I couldn't. Reluctantly I stand up to find the four sisters crouching by the fire eating, what looks to be porridge, and unfortunately, more stale bread.

Before anything, I remember I still had my phone. I sit back down, shielded from their gaze, and check the internet. No wifi networks available. Try again? Well, I guess the internet is a bust. On the Brightside, all my manga is still downloaded. Once I meet Ciel, this could come in handy. I quickly and quietly slide the phone into the bundled up dress used as a pillow the night before. I stand up and walk over to Catherine.

"Hey, Catherine, where can I change?" I gestured to the worn outfit given to me. Nonchalantly, she points me to a corner away from the glass-less windows. Great... I finally get to be in my favorite anime, but instead of victorian luxury, I have to change into a dingy dress inside a hovel. I think to myself. I shake off the dress to make it look more presentable-ish.

After spending 15 minutes figuring out how to put the thing on, with accompanying snickers from the girls, I finally do it. I was so proud. If only I had a mirror... Pushing the thoughts out of my head, I eagerly sit down and receive a small amount of porridge and bread. Gross would be an understatement; however, I choked it down anyway, knowing that the next meal might be even worse.

"Catherine?" I ask meekly

"What?" she says in an (I hope) accidentally venomous tone.

"well," I twirl my fingers "You wouldn't happen to have any extra shoes, would you?" I try to smile to brighten the tense mood. It doesn't work. She aggressively hands me a pair of ratty boots with the sole almost completely worn out. I'll do until I get to London. I say thanks and pick at the remains of my porridge until the girls head out, presumably back to the riverbank. I was left entirely alone. Feeling uneasy, I head out into London...

afternoon

Walking the streets was wonderful. I saw people walking around in victorian era clothing and horsedrawn carriages God. It's still all so surreal still! After at least 2 hours of mindlessly walking around, I come to the shopping district. The second I smell the wafted air from the pastry shop and nearby candy store my stomach started to rumble. 

"Ugh," I quietly say out loud Who knew not eating proper food for two days make you hungry? I thought in a sarcastic tone. As I walked towards the candy shop, I started forming a plan for the future in this world. First, I need to meet Ciel and prove to him that I'm important! Then I need to figure out which arc I'm in. Jeez, I really should have asked Catherine if jack the ripper has started killing. As I finish my internal monologuing, I enter the candy store. I suddenly realize I'm in the Funtom candy store. Yes, yes, yes! This would be a great place to meet him.

In the spirit of celebration, I ask the clerk how much candy I can buy for my silver earring. He says I can have 3 of any full-sized candy in the store. I hand him the earring and grab three lollipops; they always looked delicious on the show. Waving goodbye to the clerk with my small paper bag of loot, I exit the building. 

As I leave, I hear who I assume to be Sebastian and Ciel talking down the corner towards the street I'm currently on. I, foolishly mind you, excitedly hurried off the sidewalk onto the cobblestone street. I'm knocked back with a great force as I realize what just happened. Maybe standing in the road while carriage is barrelling towards you isn't the smartest idea...

...

"Miss?"

"Miss, are you alright?"

"ugh," I feel like I just got hit by a car. Wait, where am I? The past 5 minutes flash before my eyes. After my vision stops being blurred, I see my surroundings and see a boy feigning concern. All I want to do is stand up and continue my search fo- My vision finally becomes focused and I see that it's not just any boy... it's Ciel Phantomhive!

"Ciel" I blurt out loud, forgetting that he doesn't know who I am

"how do you-" she starts to say before Sebastian taps on his shoulder.

"what do you want it better be important, Sebastian," he says coldly.

"Young master, you should look at this." Sebastian holds up my phone, now sporting a cracked screen protector. While Ciel is fiddling with it, he turns it on, revealing my lock screen, which happens to be some fanart of Sebastian and Ciel during the circus arc.

Ciel holds up the phone and starts, "What the bloody hell is this, and why does it have a picture of us in it; you'd better start talking."

I don't know where to begin...
