Puddles of blood are scattered among a dark alley on a stormy night. A boy and two men are alone. The boy with a large gash in his chest that is oozing blood. “Master I am so sorry. If I had any idea.” Said a Man in a black tailcoat. He was a young man who looked like he was in his twenties. “YOU… IDIOT… You’ve broken the contract. How dare you.” Said the boy in an weak angry tone. “Mwa ha ha ha ha. Oh bassie you are two kind to someone like Ciel. Besides you should be thanking me for freeing you. “ Said the second man. He was a man but he was very feminine with long reds hair with a red trench coat. The boy Ciel continues. “Sebastian I have one last order. Destroy Grell Sutcliff!” Ciel demanded as a pentagram shape began to glow on his eye then with one last breath he died. “Yes my lord.” Replied Sebastian with a tear in his eye. There was a flash of light and Grell was holding a large chain saw. Sebastian then draws several silver knives and forks out of his sleeves an throws them at Grell but us blocked by what looks like a spear topped with scissors A cold man standing on the roof of a building is staring down at them. He then speaks. “Grell Sutcliff. You have violated the laws of the reapers once again. You are hereby stripped of reaper abilities and to be forced to wander the earth for all eternity.”

Chapter 1: Her Butler, Frightening

A girl lies in an infinite white where black feathers rain down. She is garbed only with white night gown her long blonde hair askew. She remains very calm despite the surreal surroundings. In the distance a black tree stands where a black crow is perched on it staring at the Girl. “You have summoned me, Alice Potter. “ The bird asks without its beak moving. “How I summoned you. I don’t know, however I am willing to accept help if you are offering. I have nothing to lose and only one thing to gain… Revenge.” “I see. Humans are so similar.” The crow replies. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Alice asks in her velvety voice not offended but curious at what he means. The bird chuckles and says. “Oh nothing. “ “Do we have a deal?” Alice asks. Then a twister of black feathers ensnares the tree and after a second or two the twister vanishes revealing a young man with black hair and a tailcoat walks to Alice and lifts up her bangs, stroking her forehead.

The sun rises on a mansion out in countryside of England. It is a very large mansion that looks Victorian in design surrounded by fields of roses in every shade. In the mansion a young girls sleeps in a canopy bed when the sound of a door opening wakes her up. “Lady Alice. It is time to wake up.” Alice then opens her eyes. To see her butler drawing the curtains letting in the sunlight. He then comes to Alice and helps her get dressed into her black dress and is then put into a seat in front of a large silver vanity While her butler begins to comb her hair put in pigtails on the sides of her hair tying them with Red Ribbons. “Today Milady you have a violin lesson with closely followed by a history lesson and this evening you have a meeting with the head of Italian Branch of the Potter Textile Factory. And for breakfast today we have poached eggs with the finest sausage that Germany has to offer.” “Thank You Sebastian. That will be all. Alice then gets up and makes her way to the dining room a large room with a long table garbed in a pearly white table cloth with a large Chandelier that would illuminate the room at night. She then enters the room seeing her three other servants waiting for her. Madeline the Large muscular maid who would much rather gossip then clean and is also very cheeky. In the middle a small bolding man covered in oil stains wearing overalls is the Handy Man Louis . He loved to invent things however most of his inventions often burst into flames or create a small explosion. Then their was the Meek but humble gardener Thomas. He was the youngest of the group being younger then even Sebastian. He was very good at growing plants however is a terrible klutz and often trips over his own shoe laces while carrying heavy objects such as bags of fertilizer or large potted plants. The last being Sebastian who seemed the most competent out of the three. He was a handsome young man who served as the butler he wore a black tail coat with a black trousers and black dress shoes. White gloves His hair as black as night with piercing red eyes. His facial features smooth and flawless. “So did you hear about the Alucards., I hear the head of the house gambled away all of his money. Tis a shame really.” Madeline said to Louis and Thomas who couldn’t really care less. Alice continued to take small bites out of her Poached eggs while Sebastian closed in on Thomas Madeline and Louis. “Now if you three have time to dawdle then I sugest you get to your duties. “Thomsas the Bushes need to be trimmed and Madeline the Library is in need of dusting. Louis the Bathtub Drain is Clogged up again please take care of it!” The trio then scurried off in fright, “Now Milady better not keep Madame Rachel waiting for you. Get to your Violin lesson now. Make haste. I will have your afternoon tea ready after you history lesson."

Sebastian then starts his duties by cutting some red white and black roses and put them in a vase filled with water and then begins to start preparing for the dinner For the Italian head of Potter Textiles When he hears an explosion from the dining room “Damn it Louis.” Sebastian mutters under his breath as walks to the dinging room finding it covered in soot and debree. “What happened here.” Sebastian asked in an angry tone “Well I tried to invent somthing that would carry food to the ocupants of the table. You see. Unfortanly the process had a few bugs.” Louis said in a frightened tone. Sebastian then hurridly looks at his pocket watch. Half past five. The guest would arrive at 7’o clock. He only had an hour and a half left. Definalty not enough time to repair the complete dining room he then stared out the window and began to look at the rose garden… A light bulb went of in his head He then grabbed a small ornate white tabple and placed in the back porch and then place a pearly white table cloth on it. Sebastian then continued to cook the dinner when the door bell rang. Sebastian then made his way to the main hall and opened the door revealing a man with white hair and a gray mustache he was rather portly with a large nose. “Hello I am Mario Vespuchie the head of the Potter Factory over in Italy. “ Yes sir. Alou me to take you to my Mystress.” He then leads Mario to Alice’s study where she is shuffling several cards. “Hello Lady Alice” Mario greets “She then looks at Mario with a face that screams of boredom. “Do come in Mario.” He then sits down in a large leather chair in front of a desk in which Alice is sitting behind she then place the stack of cards on the desk. “Now we must discuss the financial state of the company cause you see-“ “Let me read you a fortune with my Tarot Cards.” Alice interrupts She then holds up a fan of five cards. “Pick three cards.” Mario then takes three cards out of her hand and then place then on the table face up. The card bore the word Judgement Justice and The Devil. Mario chuckles and asks “What does this mean?” Clearly not taking it seriously. Alice scouls at him and then goes back to her cards. “You will judged for your sins and be brought to justice. You will have to face the devil.” Mario then burst into laughter. “That is one of the most inaccurate predictions ever. “Is that so.” Alice replies glaring at him when Sebastian enters the Room. “Dinner is ready Milady.”

Shortly after dinner. Alice heads back to her study while Mario goes to freshen up in the bathroom washing his face and hands after the meal. “Man this little girl is such a pain. To think a little wretch could be a head of a major company. Little to her knoledge I sold the factory and plan to ask for money and run. Such a stupid brat.”

Mario then climbs the stairs when he feels a sudden chill go down his spine. He brushes it off when he looks at a picture of Woman in baby blue dress sitting in a chair. He could swear the eyes were following him. He then continued down the dark erie hallways trying to remember where the Study was. Alice’s voice then echoes in his head. “You will be judged for your sins.” Mario a little more shaken says. “I must be imagining things. Probably a rancid meal I ate earlier.” He then continued to look for the Study when the dim lanterns lighting the hall go off. Mario then tries to feel his way around the hall when he trips falls down a flight of stairs. He opens his eyes to see Louis the handyman poking him with a screw driver. “Are you okay mister.” Louis asks Mario tries to get up but then he feels a horrid pain in his leg. “Mister! My God your leg!” Mario the looks down at his legs and shocked to see that one of his legs is twisted in an ackward angle that a leg shouldn’t be in. Alice’s voice echoes in his ear once more. “You will be brought to justice.” Mario then crawls down the stairs and tries to crawl out the door only to be blocked by Sebastian “Now now. We cant have you leaving so early.” He then crawls off to the nearest door and hides in a room he hears foots steps outside the door and then complete silence. He attempts to hide in the dark room when he sees a pair of gleaming red eyes in the darkness. “What are you?” Mario asks. Sebastian replies. “I am simply one hell of a butler.” The sound of Mario’s shrieks fill the mansion. Mario hears Alice’s voice in his head once more. “You will face the Devil.”

Sebastian makes his way to the orchard where Thomas and Louis are working filling a wood burning furnace. “A good days work Thomas and I wish I could say the same Louis.” Sebastian says grimacing at the thought of the blown up dining room. Thomas and Louis notices that he is holding a Chocolate Soufle . “Feel free to polish this off you two. Oh and Louis tell Madeline that there is mess that needs to cleaned up in the kitchen. “A mess?” Louis asks when they hear moaning carried by the wind and see the shadow of a limping man. “I will get you for this….” Mario says as limps off into the distance covered in food and his own blood. Mario moans again carried by the wind once. Meanwhile Alice in her study hears the moaning. “How Pathetic someone as dimwitted as him would try to con me.” She then smiles a faint smile and chuckles.
