After a tiring day of school, once again being tormented by my bullies, I slammed my door grabbing my favorite pillow and layed down on my bed. The soft silk sheets are quite comfortable as I get settled, I reached across my bed and grabbed the remote turning on my favorite show, Black Butler.

I recited line by line as the show played on the television. As I continued to watch,  I started to think how much better it would be if I worked at the Phantomhive manor. A ridiculous thought really but with the friendly servants and all the things that happen,  I wouldn't be lonely like I am here. Here in this place everyone calls reality.

"Nichole!" I heard my mother call from down the hall. I got up slowly pausing the show with my remote and walking down the hallway to meet my friendly mother.

"Yeah?" I said to my mom.

"Nichole, honey, I need you to run down to the store and pick up some eggs," she replied smiling softly

"Sure mom no problem" I smiled as I straightened out my boots and went to the front door, grasping the metal knob and twisting it open to reveal the cold winter world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was about 7:00 pm when I exited the store, and the darkness outside would have been really creepy if the cars weren't passing by. Winter is kind of a depressing season however, Ciel's birthday is in winter, and seeing as he is one of my idols,  as stupid as that sounds it makes winter not so bad. The  new year is just starting so his birthday has already passed unfortunately.

Suddenly as I was walking along,   out of the corner of my eye, I saw something, something odd. A soft blue glow that reflected off the freshly fallen white snow. Turning my head slowly, like creaking open an old wooden door  I looked over in the direction of the what was glowing. A small glowing blue butterfly was fluttering gracefully not to distant from where I was walking. The sight made me gasp, I stopped dead in my tracks and stared at the butterfly. The more I stared the more my vision went black.

"Wh-what...the hell?" I mumbled as I stumbled back a bit, biting my lip harshly. Soon enough, my vision went black. I don't think I passed out or anything but, it felt like I was floating.

An easily recognizable man, glossy black hair, crimson red eyes, and dressed in tailcoat complete with white gloves, was standing in the darkness....but something was wrong. He abruptly turned his head to face me, there was fear in his eyes and I could hear the pounding rhythm of his heart beat....just like a drum.

This wasn't the cocky, smug demon I knew and loved.
...This was a frightened man asking for my help.

"H-Help us...." he chocked out desperately before slowly dissipating into thin air. The darkness faded, and my surroundings came back. I was laying flat on the sidewalk, pants and shirt soaked with snow and the crushed remains of egg under me.
Okay Nichole....calm down, understand the situation before you freak out. Slowly, I sat up, taking deep breathes. Maybe I  just slipped and blacked out, and Sebastian was just in my vision. Or maybe....my imagination is becoming a bit to much for me. I looked around frantically searching for the little butterfly that didn't seem to be in sight.I took a grateful deep breath before saying,

"It wasn't real....thank god,"
I brushed myself off and looked down at the bag that lay crunched in the snow. I can just get some more tommorrow....but it would be nice to clean it up. I bent down, still a bit shaken up and piled eggshell onto the bag before picking it up and continuing to walk. I need to get home soon, so I can relax for the rest of the night. I shakily stumbled the rest of the way home taking careful deep breathes.

After I finally made it into my  house I looked around for my mom, but she didn't seem to be up. I shrugged and threw away the bag that contained the remainder of the cracked eggs. I took off my boots and looked down at my clothes. Great, all over my favorite Black Butler shirt.  I hastily retreated to my room, grabbing a white night gown from my dresser and changing into it. Deciding that egg yolk wasn't good for hair, I quietly made my way to the bathroom, going inside to see my shower with sliding glass doors. I shed off my night gown regretting that I put it on in the first place. I started the shower and waited for it to heat up. I looked myself up and down in the mirror when the mirror went....static?

Then i saw him again....Sebastian...He put his hand up against the glass....as if he was inside the mirror, the edges of the mirror started to have blood drip from it. The static starting glitching and through the static his lips....were trembling.....

"You're the o-" he began to cry out before being cut off violently by something sharp being rammed through his chest somehow spraying his blood all over me. Without second thought,I screamed.

A minute later,the hall light turned on, and heavy steps advanced towards the bathrooom.

"HONEY?!" My mom shouted concerned as the bathroom door swung open. I pointed at the mirror in shock and breathed in and out heavily. My mom look towards the mirror and her brow scrunched up in utter confusion.

"Honey...there's nothing there, your fine" with those words, my mind became clear again...here I am trembling helplessy in my bra and underwear, exposed to my mom, pointing at the mirror like I saw a ghost. I looked down at my self, no trace of Sebastians blood found anywhere on my body.

I took a few shaky deep breathes before lowering my hand. My mom with a concerned expression turned off the shower and draped her arm across my shoulders and slowly walked me out of the bathroom.

Two incounters with Sebastian in one night.....this can't be real, I'm going crazy! I teared up as my mom laid me down on my bed and tucked me in.

"Goodnight mom...." I said wearily.

"Goodnight sweetie" she replied, her voice filled with pity. She then exited the room after turning off the light, leaving me with the glaring light from my television screen. It was still paused from earlier....for the first time in a long time, I took my remote and shut off Black Butler...before drifting off into sleep...

"CIEL! SEBASTIAN!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. The young boy and the butler were stolen from me in a flash, something dark and evil pulsed through them making them both cry out in agony. I reached for them but my legs was shackled to the ground. An absolutely terrifying ray of energy almost shot through Ciel, it would have been his demise if Sebastian hadn't gotten in the way, screaming in absolute agony as he slowly discentagrated into nothing. "SEBASTIAN!" Ciel and I called out. Ciels poor frightened face looked directly into my  face. As he opened his mouth to spe...BEEEP!

Slowly, my eyes fluttered open, my face was bit sweaty. I sat up and shut of my alarm then buried my face into my hands. There just anime characters.....don't get worked up. I swallowed hard, then forced myself to get out of bed. I took deep breathes before going to my closet, grabbed my Book of Circus shirt,along with a short black skirt, completed by some black socks, and black boots. Very sluggishly I walked to the bathroom, my clothes draped over my arm. I set them down on the counter avoiding gazing into the mirror and turned the shower on. I shed off my bra and underwear and stepped into the shower, letting the warm droplets of water roll off my bare skin.

I grabbed the shampoo bottle from the rack, my gaze fixed on the floor, when suddenly, I felt the touch of bare skin against my hand, slowly gripping my fingers together. I froze up and looked at my hand. A badly injured arm was sticking out from the shower wall, large hand with black finger nails was tightly gripping my small dainty hand. Sebastian.

"Let go....your not real...." I mumbled tugging at my hand. He didn't let go, in fact he gripped it tighter. I tugged and pulled but it was no use, tears sprang to my eyes as I struggled.

"Sebastian! Let me go!" I whisper yelled as he tugged me towards the shower wall. I reached up with my other hand and dug my nails into the deep gashes on his arm, causing him to loosen his grip enough for me to wiggle free and his arm retracted back into the wall. I sighed in relief as I looked down at my hands, but horror shot through my body...Sebastians blood was on my fingertips....

Shit! I ran my hand under the water before stumbling out of the shower and sloppily putting on my clothes. I ran into kitchen grabbing an apple and slinging my back pack over my shoulder. I'm to freaked...I just want to go to school.
