アニーの遺産

I walked slowly down the hallway. Ciel was occupied with something business related. I only found out once we got to the manor that Ciel was kind of a big thing... he had a business to run and everything. Sighing, I tried to put my memory to use. I hadn't had much time to think about what I am going to do... what was going to happen now that I was momentarily out of danger?

This isn't going to last long. The peace I have now. But even when I'm out of danger... seems that there's always something coming out of the woodwork that is my life. Sebastian. What is he? Not human. I am confident he is not a Phoelmogen. I am also confident, he does not know the full extent of my power. Or the danger that presents itself when I am here, unprotected. At least when I was on earth, I had Ivan as a bodyguard. Here, Ivan was no where to be seen. Even Laina could defend herself. Laina was a little runt, much like Ciel in different aspects. Short. Bossy. Rich. Only instead of toys, Laina devoted into guns, and heavy machinery. She was like Scarface, but... in a 12 year old crippled girl body.

What was I going to do? I had no real home... no people to call on. I wasn't even paging attention, when I ran smack into one of the servants. "AHH! MY LADY!" a surprised voice yelled in shock. I blinked for a moment, but then realized that this was the maid. "Oh! Pardon me, my lady! I didn't see you coming, no I did not!" The red haired maid exclaimed, pulling me up and off her with strength I didn't expect her to have. "Ah haha... I wasn't paying any attention, it was my fault. Sorry..." I said, and the maid smiled. "Oh, don't worry! Were you looking for something?" The maid asked, and I thought for a moment. "No. I am just rather bored..." I said. The maid tilted her head to the side, and smiled, "Well, I'm not sure if this would help, but there is a library here, Miss Annie." She said.

I stared at her for a moment, then realize that I didn't k ow her name. "Ah! Yes, they would help. Can you take me?" I asked, and the maid nodded, "Just come this way..." she said, and I followed. "By the way, I don't know your name..." I said, and the maid smiled brightly, "Its Maylene, Miss Annie." She said. And I nodded, "Got it. Maylene."

Soon we were in front of a tall door, "Right here, madam." She said, and opened it for me. "Please do call when you need somethin' my lady! There's always one of the servants here, yes there are!" She said. I nodded and was left alone.

Quite the library. Surprisingly this isn't the only person I know who has an indoor library inside their house. Laina could be the reincarnation of Ciel herself! I sighed and picked up a random book, and read until I fell asleep...

There was chaos.

Pure.

Unadulterated.

Raw.

Chaos.

I looked around me, and as fast as the bodies came at me, the fell just as quickly. There were no weapons in my hands, unlike my adversaries... I knew I was the one killing. I was completely bloodied. A great big mess all over.

I was Feral. Kasaii. I was Phoelmogen.

A person, maybe my age, or older, swung his sword at me. And my instincts ruled over my rationality. I shouldn't be doing this. This was... not me. At all. I grabbed him by the throat, and held him in the air. My nails dug into his neck without meaning to. I could hear cheering and screams of excitement around me. I was here to kill. And I would deliver, weather it was against my will or not. And god help me it was. I wanted so desperately to not destroy life... I wanted to create it. Help it grow. The boy was dead the minute he looked in my flaming eyes. I could see it. Blood ran down his face, and his eyes went back into their lids, however they never closed. His mouth agape with screams that never came, and he no longer moved.

"Well done. Iridescence." An ever so familiar voice said. I turned around and saw Ira. Standing there. Long white hair hair, flowing in the wind. A long black cape, covering his body completely. Jaded eyes. Hard expression. I stood in front of him, panting. Without notice, his hand reached out for me, and I grabbed it before it could touch me. I dug my nails in, and attempted to rip the arm off. This man... deserved to die.

How surprised I was, when I heard a grunt, and the arm yanked back.

-

I gasped, sweat covering my body completely, and I only saw the blurred vision of Ira... white long hair, but then... another face overlapped it. This time, it was pure black hair... I blinked, and my vision cleared immediately.

"Sebastian!" I gasped, and immediately let go of the arm I was attempting to rip off. The butler let out a grunt, and took back his arm, as I leaned in back into the seat. "Miss Annie. Please do tell what it was you were dreaming about for you to try and take off my arm." He said, and I swallowed. I didn't want to tell him THAT.

A direct memory I had while I was still in Rosebund. I was only 15 then. It was going to be my 16th birthday... luckily I got to relive my whole life while on earth, having the time warp turn my biological clock completely backwards, and I came back as a baby... I never want to relive something so hellish in my life.

"Nothing... nothing it was just... was just a bad dream. You don't need to worry. Sorry about your arm." I breathed. Sebastian lifted a delicate eyebrow, buy left the subject. Sensing my already agitated state. "Very well." He said. "I came to tell you that lunch has been prepared, but found you asleep. I figured you would want to stay asleep so I figured unwound ha e taken you to your room." He said. I nodded quietly, and sighed. I sat up, and ran a hand through my hair. "Okay, well... thank you." I mumbled.

Sebastian stuck out a hand, and I stared at it, figuring out too late that he was trying to help me up. I took it gingerly, and stood. Still a bit shaky, I ended up falling forward. "Ack..." I let out as my face ended up hitting Sebastian's chest. He let out a sigh, and supported me with his form. Lifting me up all of a sudden I let out a yelp.

"Whaa-"

"Ought it be better for you to have lunch in your room? You don't seem too well, Miss Annie." He said, and I was then carried like a baby in his arms. I refrained from blushing, and frowned. "I-I can walk! You don't need to do that at all!" I yelped. Sebastian looked down at me, and my vision once again switched to my old memories. Ira's face looked down at me suddenly, and my eyes went wide behind my blindfold. I froze in his arms for a second, before I saw Sebastian's face again. Swallowing, I stayed silent. Sebastian raised an eyebrow, "Miss Annie?" He said, and I trembled quietly. Sebastian's eyes went wide, and he blinked.

"Miss Annie!"

"Just... please take me to my room." I said, and heard a sigh in response.

"Of course."
