The dimly lit room, only lit up by a singular candle, was where the two sat. A tan paper file places neatly between them, their hushed voices murmuring.

"Anne Michaelis, tell me more about her..."

"Well, what else do you want to know?"

The man thought for a moment, his brown eyes darkened in thought. The room fell silent and the woman turned to look at the tall, browned haired man.

He hummed, having the answer as a smirk planted itself on his face.

"Can you tell me where she lives?"

The woman chuckled, places her arms on the table, rasing her slender arms as she rested her head in the palm of her hand.

"So, your interested in her?"

"Of course! I've always wanted a child to take over my business when I grow old!" the man snapped, "And I don't want a son, before my wife died, we both wished for a daughter..."

The woman scoffed, checking her long fingernails, her green gaze narrowed.

"You really shouldn't have married her, Jackson, she was nothing but a gold digger interested in your business.... How did she even die?"

"Reaper."

The woman looked up at Jackson, a bit frightened.
"And yet you want a baby from one of those retched creatures? They kill and you want one that have the same blood?!" Jackson only glared at the woman, "she's the only baby I'm this damned town that looks identical to my beloved Melissa! Now do you want the money or not?!"

The woman crossed her arms, clearly interested. "How much are we talking....?"

Jackson sighed, "$2000 in cash" running his finger though his curly, brunette locks, he added quickly "have her here by next week.... I want that child..."

"Of course, Jackson."

"Look at how cute she is!" Grell squealed, the tiny infant in his arms as he spun around. His long red hair flying.

Sebastian sighed, fixing up the white and black crib, with, much to Sebastian's dismay, a red inside: red blankets, red pillows, red stuffed bear.

"Don't break the child, Grell, she just go home from her stroll around town. I don't want her dead already."

Grell frowned, pulling the baby close to his chest, "I'd never hurt her Bassy! Anne is just to cute!"

Sebastian still sighed, "of course not..."

"Sebastian! Look! I lost my tooth!" Sebastian looked over his shoulder at the tiny 3 year old, the blue haired boy had a small tooth in his clutches, "Papa helped me pull it out, isn't it huge?" Sebastian knelt down to the boys level.

"It looks very big Ciel, your becoming older by the day" The butler smiled, patting the boy on the head.

"Is that the new baby?" A small voice piped up, Sebastian looked over, it was Elizabeth.

Grell walked over, "yes, her name is Anne, isn't she lovely?" Anne squeaked, her little fist waving. "She looks grumpy.." Ciel said, walking closer to the infant, "how come she's so small?"

Sebastian stood up, "well, she's new to the world, soon she'll be your age the three of you can all play together."

Elizabeth clapped her hands, clearly excited, "Me and Anne will play dress up! And have tea parties!!"

Ciel scoffed, "that stuffs to girly! I want to play with my Noah's ark boat with Anne!" Elizabeth pouted, crossing her arms.

"Well she's a lady! She needs to play with girly things! Like tea parties, dollies, and playing dress up!" Ciel crossed his arms, clearly a quarrel was about to start.

The two started bickering when Anne let out a yell, waving her fist as she stuck her tongue out. Ciel and Elizabeth both turned towards the baby, "did she just...." Elizabeth walked over, her eyes wide as she stared at the baby.

"I think she did" Grell finished. Grell smiled wide again, his sharp teeth clincked together, as he booped his nose with the small infants as Anne reached her hand out and touched Grells crimson red glasses. "Oh~ she loves me!" Grell cooed, kissing the baby's head.

Sebastian smiled, "I guess so..."

The couple had finally put their child to bed as they went to bed, a shadowy figure waited out on the balcony as the crisp wind lifted the cloak up slightly, exposing some boots.

It peaked into the window as the moon shone brightly, making a tall and exaggerated shadow on the rooms carpeted floor. Taking notice of the crib, the cloak smiled as it pressed their hand up against the door.

"That is the child..."

The cloak opened the door, careful not to make a creak as they tip-toed into the room. The cloak swiftly made their way towards the crib.
Upon closer inspection, they noticed that the girl had a lilac tint to her hair, "Lilac... That sounds good..."

In one swift move, the cloak picked up the child, who started to scream loudly, the cloak gave a quiet curse and bolted out if the room.

"HEY!" the cloak made it towards the balcony, still holding the screaming child close, they turned to see a red-head with bright green eyes running towards them.

The cloak smirked and made sure to stand of the balconys edge, "you don't deserve this child" the cloak spat. They took a step back, falling off the balcony, an about 40 foot drop, the reaper ran towards the balcony, a tall man with black hair close behind, both looking down at the cloak, horror and rage in both their faces.

The cloak reached the floor and landed carefully, looking down at the child to make sure she was okay, her eyes where wide, the cloak blinked, her eyes are different colors... the child have a smile, the cloak smiled back, realizing their mission, they ran off into the night, making sure to cover the young child with their cloak as the moon shone and reflected onto the cloak.

"I better be getting my money's worth..."
