The smell of earl grey and Novermber air was skipping throughout the mansion. Vicky breathed as much of it as she could in as a smile formed on her face. A new day, she was so GRATEFUL. She brushed away her platinum shoulder length hair and took a good look around the dark room. She immediately noticed the tea by the side of her bed and silently thanked Hannah. It wasn't any of the other guys, she knew that, they were too busy slaving away for Vicky's older twin brother, Alois.
She slowly sipped at it while continuing to look around the room. Her clothes for the day, a beautiful red dress with many layers which was great as it was the middle of winter, a new set of perfumes which she asked for because Alois was for some reason wearing women's perfume and she really liked the smell of and the only other new thing she noticed in her grand room was a tiny wooden sculpture of a kitty. That wasn't given to her by Hannah. Actually it was her Christmas present for Hannah which one of the triplets brought in after Hannah was done taking care of the things she needed for the day. You see, Santa never brought anything for Hannah, whether coal or presents, so Vicky decided to give her something and pretend it was Santa. She's just nice like that.
Vicky rushed to it and hid it behind her wardrobe, just in case Hannah needed to clean something up. Soon after she heard footsteps and a knock. "Mistress, may I come in?" It was Hannah. "Hannah! You know Vicky is just fine, right? Also, yes, you may come in." The door creaked open, man someone needs to oil it up, and Hannah's face popped out. "Mis- Vicky, I'm here to help you get into your attire for the day and take you to the dining room." Hannah bowed courteously as she spoke.
Hannah found it a bit a amusing that his highness' sister's favourite colour was red. It looked surprisingly nice on her porcelain skin with her pale yet sparkling blue eyes and lightest blonde hair. It was the fact that she had all the primary colours on her at almost all times which she found amusing but at the same time Hannah loved how the bold red contrasted Vicky's pale colours. "-ou think?" Hannah heard a feminine voice and snapped back to reality. "P-pardon?" She asked with very obvious embarrassment laced in her voice. "Don't worry, I just asked what do you think?" Vicky then spun around. "I think you look gay." Vicky giggled, "Of course I look gay! I'm always gay and it's the best. Alois should try it out sometimes. Claude too. Come on let us show off my gayness to them." And as Vicky said it, it happened. They walked into the dining room full of gayness.
"BIG BROTHERRRRR~~~~~~" Suddenly, a big red blob attacked Alois. "Oh, it's you again." He replied, not as gay to see Vicky or to hug her as she was to see and hug him. She smiled into his chest, "Well of course it's me again! I live here you silly Billy." He sighed and pushed her away. "CLAUDE WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST?!" Alois bellowed while Vicky was a bit too close. Soon after Claude walked in with a 2 course meal...
The day was uneventful, the only kind of exiting that happened today was the Phantomhive manor hosting a ball in about a month, of course only Alois was going. Claude too but that doesn't technically count. As much as Vicky heard about master Ciel, Alois's 'best friend', she never met him. Even though he's been in the Trancy mansion many times, she was just locked away in her room (Alois' orders.) It was beginning to get dark and even though it was only about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Alois was already giving orders to send Vicky to her room again. Bath. Dinner. Special herbal routine Alois forced on her to keep her skin healthier. Bed. It was only 17:50.
She wasn't able to sleep. Actually she had trouble falling asleep, she heard the word insomnia thrown around, she probably had that. She was already in a sort of routine, if you will. She knew exactly how long she had to wait and who will check up on her. She just layed down and tried not to move too much, they all just assumed she slept. In reality her mind was racing. She focused on the positive thoughts though. What made her happy that day? What made her glad? Excited? GRATEFUL? Slowly the hours passed. 18. Alois' quick visit. 19. Hannah's check up. 20. 21. One of the triplets. 22. Claude. 23. And finally, midnight. By then everyone was definitely asleep, even the demons. Yeah, she knew about that. Of course, she won't tell them she knows though.
It was time to leave, not via any of the doors, that would make too much noise. No. She would put her special robe and slippers on which she hid behind the wardrobe. She gingerly opened the window and climbed down the safest and quietest way. She was only on the second floor, she wouldn't hurt herself much if she fell anyway. It was very chilly and you could tell Jack Frost visited. She followed a very familiar path, one that was never followed by anyone but her. It took a bit under an hour, when she got there she felt relieved. She sat upon a hill, under a grand tree from there you could both view the sky and it's palette of stars of the milky way, which shone beautifly on this very dark and cloudless night, and the fields, oh the fields. They were adorned by all kinds of flowers, in all shapes and sizes, colours and shades, sunflowers to daisies, tulips to poppies and so many more. The night's pale, blue tinted light gazed onto the meadow. While Vicky's most favourite colour was red, she still thought that was as gorgeous as anything could get. She could hear bells in the distance, it's 1 now. She sat down and gazed into the distance. There were only a few drips and drops that night.
The smell of Tetly tea was jogging throughout the mansion. Vicky breathed as much of it as she could in as a smile formed on her face. A new day, she was so GRATEFUL. She brushed away her platinum shoulder length hair and took a good look around the dark room. She immediately noticed the tea by the side of her bed and silently thanked Hannah. She was mid-sip and staring at her blood red dress when someone knocked on the door. "Mis- Vicky, may I come in?" It was Hannah. "Yep!" She replied, gay. "M-Vicky, I'm here to help you get into your attire for the day and take you to the dining room." Hannah bowed courteously as she spoke. "What do you think?" Vicky grinned. "Beautiful." Hannah replied quietly.
"BIG BROTHERRRRR~~~~~~" Suddenly, a big red blob attacked Alois. "Oh, it's you again." He replied, not as gay to see Vicky or to hug her as she was to see and hug him. She smiled into his chest, "Well of course it's me again! I live here you silly Billy." He sighed and pushed her away. "CLAUDE WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST?!" Alois bellowed while Vicky was a bit too close. Soon after Claude walked in with a 2 course meal...
The day was uneventful, Vicky managed to read a few pages of a book before Alois caught her and started yelling at her for doing something women shouldn't. She just said she was looking for pictures because she saw a really pretty bird once in one of the books, Alois paused and asked what kind of bird. After a short, stupified, description Alois started helping her find the picture, he liked pretty things to and saw the exact same picture somewhere too. In the end, neither of them could find it. She hated lying to his face but she hated getting hurt even more.
It was beginning to get dark and even though it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Alois was already giving orders to send Vicky to her room again. Bath. Dinner. Special herbal routine Alois forced on her to keep her skin healthier. Bed. It was only 17:45.
She wasn't able to sleep. She had trouble falling asleep again, insomnia she guessed. She was already in a routine. She fake slept. Her mind was racing. She focused on the positive thoughts though. What made her happy that day? What made her glad? Excited? GRATEFUL? Slowly the hours passed. 18. Alois' quick visit. 19. Hannah's check up. 20. 21. One of the triplets. 22. Claude. 23. And finally, midnight. By then everyone was definitely asleep.
It was time to leave. She put her special robe and slippers on which she hid behind the wardrobe. Nobody ever would ever find them because there was actually a little secret door there, it was there for as long as she could remember. She gingerly opened the window and climbed down the usual way. She wouldn't hurt herself much if she fell anyway. It was very chilly and you could tell Jack Frost visited. She followed a very familiar path, one that was never followed by anyone but her. It took a bit under an hour, when she got there she felt relieved.
There were more drips and drops that night.
The smell of herbal tea was walking throughout the mansion. Vicky breathed as much of it as she could in as a smile formed on her face. A new day, she was so GRATEFUL. She brushed away her platinum shoulder length hair and took a good look around the dark room. She immediately noticed the tea by the side of her bed and silently thanked Hannah. She took her first sip and barely noticed her crimson dress when someone knocked on the door. "Vicky, may I come in?" It was Hannah. "Yep!" She replied, gay. "Vicky, I'm here to help you get into your attire for the day and take you to the dining room." Hannah bowed courteously as she spoke. "What do you think?" Vicky grinned. "Fantastic." Hannah replied quietly.
"BIG BROTHERRRRR~~~~~~" Suddenly, a big red blob attacked Alois. "Oh, it's you again." He replied, not as gay to see Vicky or to hug her as she was to see and hug him. She smiled into his chest, "Well of course it's me again! I live here you silly Billy." He sighed and pushed her away. "CLAUDE WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST?!" Alois bellowed while Vicky was a bit too close. Soon after Claude walked in with a 2 course meal...
The day was uneventful, Vicky just sat in the garden with the triplets tending to the plants.
It was beginning to get dark and even though it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Alois was already giving orders to send Vicky to her room again. Bath. Dinner. Special herbal routine Alois forced on her to keep her skin healthier. Bed. It was only 17:40.
She wasn't able to sleep. She couldn't fall asleep again, insomnia most likely. Routine. She fake slept. Her mind was racing. She focused on the positive thoughts though. What made her happy that day? Excited? GRATEFUL? Slowly the hours passed. 18. 19. Hannah's check up. 20. 21. One of the triplets. 22. Claude. 23. And finally, midnight. Everyone was definitely asleep.
It was time to leave. She put her special robe and slippers on which she hid behind the wardrobe. Nobody ever would ever find them because it was in her room. She opened the window and climbed down. She wouldn't hurt herself much if she wanted to anyway. It was cold and you could tell Jack Frost visited. She followed a very familiar path. It took a bit under an hour, relief.
There were a few less drips and drops that night.
The smell of some asian tea was everywhere. Vicky formed a smile on her face. A new day, she was so GRATEFUL. She brushed away her platinum shoulder length hair and took a good look around the dark room. She immediately noticed the tea by the side of her bed and silently thanked Hannah. She just grabbed the cup and barely noticed her dress when someone knocked on the door. "Vicky, may I come in?" It was Hannah. "Yep!" She replied. "Vicky, I'm here to help you get into your attire for the day and take you to the dining room." Hannah bowed courteously as she spoke. "What do you think?" Vicky grinned. "Great." Hannah replied quietly.
"BIG BROTHERRRRR~~~~~~" Suddenly, a big red blob attacked Alois. "Oh, it's you again." He replied, not as gay to see Vicky or to hug her as she was to see and hug him. She smiled into his chest, "Well of course it's me again! I live here you silly Billy." He sighed and pushed her away. "CLAUDE WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST?!" Alois bellowed while Vicky was a bit too close. Soon after Claude walked in with a 2 course meal...
The day was uneventful, but Vicky hasn't seen Hannah since that morning.
It was beginning to get dark and even though it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Alois was already giving orders to send Vicky to her room again. Bath. Dinner. Special herbal routine Alois forced on her to keep her skin healthier. Bed. It was only 17:30.
She wasn't able to sleep. She couldn't sleep again, insomnia. Routine. She fake slept. Her mind was racing. She focused on the positive thoughts though. What made her happy that day ? GRATEFUL? Slowly the hours passed. 18. 19. No Hannah. 20. 21. One of the triplets. 22. Claude. 23. And finally, midnight. Everyone was definitely asleep.
It was time to leave. She put her special robe and slippers on which she hid. Nobody ever would ever find them because who even cared about her? She opened the window and just let herself fall down. She wouldn't hurt herself much if she wanted to anyway. It was very cold. She followed a very familiar path. It took a bit under an hour, relief.
There were a few more drips and drops that night.
Vicky could smell tea. She forced a smile on her face. A new day, she was so GRATEFUL. She brushed away her platinum shoulder length hair and took a good look around the dark room. She immediately noticed the lack of tea by the side of her bed, she found her own clothes and dressed herself. It took a bit longer than usual.
"BIG BROTHERRRRR~~~~~~" Suddenly, a big red blob attacked Alois. "Oh, it's you again." He replied, not as gay to see Vicky or to hug her as she was to see and hug him. "Well of course it's me again!

The window was already open, she forgot to close it last night and she just let herself fall down. She wouldn't hurt herself even though she wanted to. It was freezing. She followed the path. It took a bit under an hour, relief.
There were a many more drips and drops that night.
Vicky woke up. She forced a smile on her face. A new day. She brushed away her platinum shoulder length hair. She found her own clothes and dressed herself.

The tears wouldn't stop falling.
She woke up in the field. She hasn't been here during the day since she was 8... she's 17 now, she thinks. She could be older. Hannah's present was still behind the wardrobe. Alois is dead. All the others are gone too... maybe she should go too.
She stayed in the field for a while longer. A long while. Such a long while that the rope around her neck snapped when the wild animals were feeding on her flesh, or what was left of it anyway.
It was Vicky and Grell's 3rd date and she wanted to take him somewhere special. It was dark when she took him to a mansion, she for some reason wanted to call home, and then took him down a very familiar path, one that was never followed by anyone but her. Until now. It took a bit under an hour, when she got there she felt relieved for some reason. They sat upon a hill, under a grand tree from there you could both view the sky and it's palette of stars of the milky way, which shone beautifly on this very dark and cloudless night, and the fields. They were adorned by all kinds of flowers, in all shapes and sizes, colours and shades, sunflowers to daisies, tulips to poppies and so many more. Poppies were their favourite. The night's pale, blue tinted light gazed onto the meadow. While they both loved red, they both thought that was as gorgeous as anything could get. Well besides each other of course. They gazed into the distance.
"Hey Grell," she said softly after a while of just enjoying each other's company, " wouldn't you sometimes want to know why you commit suicide?" He thought about the things he saw, heard and felt when he reaped her soul back in the day and shivered. She didn't know that he was the one that guided her soul into the Afterworld, he'd rather not have her know as she'd probably sweet talk her way into learning about why she commit suicide and learn all... that. "Not especially, why?" He replied, a little melanchony. "Well, aren't you curious even a little? I'd love to know why I killed myself but at the same time I really don't know why I'd do that. I love life." He kissed her cheek, "you're such a strong and brave person that the reason you killed yourself must be horrible and probably was a last resort. I think it'd be similar for me, y' know, the reason being horrible, that I'd rather not know." She hugged him, "I guess you're right."
They spent the rest of the night loving every second of each other's company. And then William called them to work, What an annoyance.
