Stolen Roses

Stolen Roses {Chapter 2}

Chapter 2

Darkness...all you see is darkness. Opening your eyes the bright white light burns like flames, blinking to get your eyes to adjust you slowly become able to see the detail of the blue, cloudless sky, and the circular brick well. W..Wait a minute circular? Brick?

Jumping up, you catch yourself as a dizzy spell hits you. "This can't be right...Hello? Is anyone out there?" You said with fear. 'The well it had water at the bottom, this, this well is bone dry. How can this be? Is this another well that transports through time? Maybe I'm back in my time?!'  you think hopeful.  There are many wells located on the shrine grounds!

"Grandpa?...Auntie?...SOUTA?..........Boyo?

Damn, this is useless." sitting down with a sigh, you start to think of ways to get out.

'Maybe I can shimmy up the walls?'  with that plan in mind you set forth, but there was one problem. Looking down you noticed you were still in your winter kimono. Stripping everything off until you reached the inner lining you decided that would have to do. Dropping the now useless fabric, you started to climb up the narrow well. Halfway up your hands were on fire from the burning raw pain of the brick eating at your skin. Finally getting close enough you grab hold of some of the stronger thicker vegetation and use it to help get yourself out.

Once out you saw what appeared to be an old dilapidated brick home, possibly the size of a mansion from the foundation. 'Well, I'm not in the feudal era anymore. But where and when exactly am I?' noticing a path that led to what appeared to be another intact mansion.

While walking you started to hear loud thumps, possibly some construction? 'SO THAT MEANS PEOPLE ARE FOR SURE NEAR BY! THEY CAN HELP ME!'

Running as fast as you possibly could without tripping you saw the top of a tree fall into the ocean of other trees. Making a quick turn you ran off the path and headed through the woods to where you saw the tree fall. Quickly stopping to ensure it was safe to approach you noticed a petite, strawberry blonde haired boy with a gardener's hat tied around his neck. He looked rather nervous as he continued ripping trees out of the ground taking roots and all with it.

'I would have no issue taking him down, he's not a human but he doesn't appear to be a demon.'

After deeming him as harmless, you came out from behind one of the trees that were still standing to yell over to the boy "Hello?...Can you help me I am a bit lost and don't really know where I am.?" adding under your breath where he wouldn't hear "Or what time it is for that matter"

The boy jumped sweat starting to drop down his neck he turned and looked rather startled in your direction.

Nervous and a little afraid the boy looked over at you and began to speak...but you couldn't understand him. 'What is he saying? He's talking but I cannot understand' taking a second to look around you fully take in your surroundings, the brick mansion with European design, the elegant fountain in front of what you believe to be the main entrance, the flowers growing in the garden. 'Wait that's a Burnt orchid they're only native to England! I'm in England, he's speaking English! I know English but damn it been so long!'

"I am sorry it h..has been awhile s..since I have spoken English." you said to the boy while your hands in front of you in an explaining manner, not quite sure of yourself.

"Well that's quite alright, you must not be from around here, you sure look different?" He said with a bright smile. Its now that you really take in his appearance. He has 5 red bobby pins holding his hair back out of his face, and a white with red collar outlined top. If you had to guess at least late 1800s design.

"I am lost and I don't have a clue where I am, can you help me?"  you ask him trying to be sweet and simple. The boy seems overly nice, but all the while too naive for his own good.

" Yes! The young master can! He and Sebastian can do anything!" the boy said while turning and running through the paths leading towards the huge mansion.

'He sure is a chirpy thing isn't he?'

Following him through the twists and turns and through the servant's entrance making sure to watch his movements closely in case he were to betray you, you let your mind start to wander.

'How am I in England? I can understand a different time, but a different continent? Maybe I died and England is my heaven? Or maybe I just got knocked out and Sesshomaru or Haru found me, and I'm just back at the palace having some concussion dream?' being snapped out of your thoughts by the blonde boy you noticed you were standing in front of a thick oak door.  "Master Ciel! Master Ciel! Sebastian!" the blonde boy yelled and started barely tapping the door but it sounded as if he was banging it down.

The door swung open to reveal a very annoyed looking man, very tall and lean you couldn't help but be mesmerized by him. Taking in his features you saw he had dashing red eyes as deep as blood, with hair as black as the night. His skin seemed to glow even in the low light of the room. He wore a dark tailcoat, that resembled a butler's uniform.

'He must be the butler here'

Focusing on the situation at hand, you noticed the blonde boy you were with had turned a pale white and looked as if he may have seen God himself.

"Oh and who is this young woman Finnian?" the man asked looking down at you with a smile that you knew was fake. Something about him made you want to cower to him, wait that's ridiculous you have faced DEMONS for christ's sake.

'How is it one man can make me feel as if he can break me with one finger? I shouldn't be afraid of him, he's only human.'

Noticing you had been silently staring this whole time you couldn't help but blush. Immediately you answered him. "Hello, my name is ___F/N___ ___L/N____, I am lost and quite honestly do not know where I am. I have also seemed to lose track of the time."

"Why you're in the Phantomhive Manor,...
