Scarlet's pov.

     Ciel wanted me to stay. why not? it's not like my mom or step-dad knew or cared i was gone. Ciel lets me change and i put on black skinny jeans and a violet tube top. i leave my red gloves on and put on my violet and black converse. Ciel was waiting outside my room. "you wear such odd cloths." Ciel says as we walk. i laugh. "i'm a rebel without a cause. my mom thought my cloths were bad too." i say. i notice a cook and a maid fighting with a gardner. "Bard, Finny, Mey-Rin this is Scarlet. she will be living with us from now on." Ciel says.

     I give them a kind smile and the gardner blushes. "Finny nows not the time to be like that." the cook says as he hits the gardner on the back of the head. they run off when they see Sebastian behind Ciel. Sebastian looks me up and down with a small smile. he was very creepy. Ciel and i eat in silence and when i'm done i feel a sharp pain expoldes in my head. i was going to pass out. this hadn't happened in a while. i hear Ciel yell as i fall to the ground and arms around me before everything goes black.

Flashback/Vision

      "Mom when do i get to see them?" i ask. i was 10 and just found out i was adopted. my real parents left me at the orphanage after i was born. "i don''t know. you might not get to if you keep acting like this." mom snaps. we were at a park to meet my real parents. my step-dad hoped that they would take me away so that he didn't have me around anymore. three hours later they still hadn't shown up. "they don't want her and we're still stuck with her." my step-dad says. mom pulls me behind her to the car. "guess no one wants the devil's child." mom says as she pushes me into the back of the car.

     I notice a tall handsome man with ravine black hair and violet eyes walk into the park. he smiles at me and reaches out as the car starts to move. "NO!!!" he screams as the car speeds away. was that my dad? i screamed to go back only to be hit with a beer can. "shut the hell up. you worthless brat." my step-dad screams. a small whimper escape me and i sit silently in the back of the car. when we get home i run up to my room and lock the door before throwing myself on the bed. i let the tears fall and they stain mt white pillow blood red. i decided then i would be a gothic princess and learn magic to find my real dad and mom. a black cat with gold eyes sat in my window crying in agreement with me.

End

     I sit up with a gasp.Ciel's worried face hovers over mine. "Sebastian she's up." Ciel says. Sebastian appears on my let and helps me sit up. "how long was i like that?" i ask as i feel the bruise on my head. right where the beer can had hit me 7 years ago. "a half hour. that bruise showed up about 5 minutes before you opened your eyes." Ciel says. i shake my head. i needed something strong to drink. "do you have rum? i need some." i say. Ciel gasp and Sebastian shakes his head no. "any kind of alcohol?" i ask. i needed to drink away what happened. "no you can't have any." Ciel yells. i shake my head again and stand uneasily on my feet. "look it will help me. i'll go get it myself if you won't give it to me." i snap. Ciel looks uncertainly at Sebastian. "get something from Bard." Ciel says in defeat.

     I sit back down as Sebastian leaves. "What happened?" Ciel asks as he sits next to me. "let me have my drink first." i say. Sebastian comes back with a bottle and a very unhappy Bard."what is it?" i ask as i pull the bottle from Sebastian. "whisky." Bard says. i nod and pull the cork out of the bottle before taking a shot from the bottle. the familiar burn feels good on my thought and i smile happily at the bottle. Bard looks schocked, Ciel unhappy and Sebastian looks worried. "better, thanks." i say as i put the cork back in the bottle.

     Bard walks over and grabs the bottle before leaving. "now explain." Ciel demands. i take a deep breath. " i have these flashbacks or visions sometimes. they can be really bad sometimes and need something to chase them away." i say. the look on my real fathers face was still burned into my vision. "what did you see?" Sebastian asks. " the day my mom told me i was adopted and was supposed to meet my real mom and dad." i say i a hollow voice. i didn't like talking about it. "your adopted? how old where you?" Ciel asks. "i was adopted as a baby but told at the age of 10." i snap. the whisky helped a little but now i was done with talking about it. i stand and walk out of the room. someone grabs my left arm and i turn to punch them. Sebastian catches my fist and smiles at me.

     "The young master isn't done talking with you." Sebastian says as his grip tightens. "i'm done talking about that. i just need a little time alone ok?" i say. Ciel walks into the hall. "you have a hour." Ciel says. i nod and Sebastian lets me go.i run out to the garden and pull out my pocket knife. " i should have died." i cry as i slash my left wrist. i watch in fascination as the blood bubbles from the cut. i make several more cuts on my arm. "stop." someone screams as i make the 7th cut on my arm. i look up to see Finny and he grabs the knife from me. he pulls me up and drags me into the house up to Ciel's study.

    "What is it Finny?" Ciel snaps before looking at the bloody knife. "i found her in the garden cutting herself." Finny says as he points to my bloody arm. i pull out of his grasp and grab my knife. before Ciel or Finny could say anything i make 6 more cuts and watch the blood turn black. "Sebastian." Ciel yells. he rushes over to me and makes a grab at the knife. Sebastian runs into the room and over to Ciel. "Take the knife from her." Ciel says and Sebastian nods. i dance away from Sebastian and close the knife. Sebastian catches me and forces me to drop the knife.

     "What where you thinking? it's a good thing Finny found you." Ciel yells. i sigh and look out the window. there was a violet eyed cat and a gold eyes cat. i struggle against Sebastian trying to get to the cats. " what are you doing?" Sebastian asks as he fights with me."let go. i have to get to them." i scream. Sebastian pulls me out of the study with Ciel following. i had been so close to finding them. those cats would lead me to my parents i couldn't loss them now. Ciel had my bloody knife in his hand. i gave up the fight and let Sebastian clean my arm. the cuts gibe without leaving a scare.

     "Why?" i whisper as my vision blurred. i feel tears run down my face. Sebastian cleans my bloody hands and i scream as pain shots throw my left hand. i pull away from Sebastian and pull my gloves off as a fire ran up my arm from my birthmark. Ciel watched with horror as i scream and patted at my burning hand. once my hand stops burning i sit in a corner whimpering. i don'y fight as Sebastian and Ciel clean me and put me in Ciel's study.

     "Sebastian hold onto this." Ciel says as he hands over my now clean pocket knife. Sebastian takes it and everything else i could cut myself with. Ciel sits next to me and holds my left hand. i look at him as he takes a closer look at my birthmark. "where you trying to kill yourself?" Ciel asks. i pull away from him. "no i wasn't going to commit suicide. i was trying a spell." i say. "suicide? what's that?" Ciel asks. i look at this innocent boy. "it's the act of killing yourself. ididn't mean to scare you." i say. i relax into my seat and close my eyes. i can feel Ciel tracing the pattern of my birthmark and drift into a dreamless sleep.

Ciel's pov.

     Scarlet falls asleep in my study, i turn her arm up to see her arm without a single cut. how many times did she cut herself? i stand and hear her whimper in her sleep. Sebastian walks in with tea for is and looks questioningly at Scarlet. "she fell asleep?" he asks as he sets a cup of hot tea at my desk. i walk over and sit before taking a sip of tea. "how many cuts?" i ask. Sebastian turns his gaze from her to me. " 13, none of them were very deep." Sebastian says. we stay in silence thinking of what to do about this girl. " no go back their there." Scarlet screams before her eyes fly open. she looks at Sebastian then to me.

     "Tea?" Sebastian asks her. she nods before running her hand throw her hair."are you going to tell us what you were thinking?" i ask as Sebastian hands her the cup of tea. she blushes and looks at the tea before doing anything. " summoning spell." Scarlet says. Sebastian's eyes darken and looks at her with hatred. " who where you trying to summon?" i ask acting like i knew what she was talking about. Scarlet lets a small laugh escape before taking a long drink of tea. "Scarlet who where you summoning?" Sebastian barks.

      I had never heard Sebastian talk to anyone like that. fresh tears whee spilling from Scarlet's eyes. " my dad." she cries. Sebastian is silent and i sip at my tea. Scarlet drinks the rest before spilling the leaves onto the soccer. Scarlet pails before looking up at Sebastian. "what's wrong?" i ask as i get up and walk over to her. " the ravine, two cats and a ring." Scarlet whispers. "that means what?" i ask knowing that Sebastian was the ravine. she shakes her head before looking at me. "it's my futer, i will marry a raven with the blessing of two cats." she mutters. she puts her finger to the leaves and moves them around. Sebastian smiles kindly at her before taking the soccer and cup from her. i deiced t take Scarlet for a walk as Sebastian made lunch.
