This one shot is about Drocell from Kuroshitsuji ( also known as Black Butler) which of course I didn't own. I hope you'll enjoy this.

-Hello Mrs Bunny- I faked a manly voice making the bear peluche move in my left hand -Hello Mr Bear!- I then faked a much more acute voice moving the other peluche, a bunny.

My little siblings were staring amazed at the little show I put up for them.

-What brings you here?- I made the bunny ask -I was wondering if you would like to come to my place for a tea this afternoon- The bear answered.

-Awww!- My little sister sssquealed -That's so cute!-

-I wonder how the story of big sister will end this time- My little brother wondered, not as interested as his twin sister but enough amazed to make me happy.

-You will know tomorrow!- I said with my normal voice holding up both peluches.

-Whaaat??- My siblings said wined.

-It's late, you two should already be sleeping- I said putting down the peluches and holding my siblings to take them to their beds -I know that you don't want to but you have to follow the rules if you don't want an evil man to come and take you- They really believed everything, but I myself didm't know how much truth actually there was in that legend.

-But you're going out now!- My sister said.

-Yes! You're wearing shoes to go outside!- Her twin borthet helped her.

-You're big sister but you're not an adult yet!-

-It's a matter of days and I'll be an adult.... Do you want me to sing for you to sleep?- I asked them knowing that they couldn't and wouldn't say no, indeed they both nodded. I smiled and sat on the ground between their beds -Close your eyes, it will be easier to fall asleep- Theu did as I told them and then I started singing -London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. London bridge is falling down, my fair lady- I repeated it for about seven times before I heard their soft breaths meaning that they really fall asleep.

It was a mystery for me how the could fall asleep with me singing that song, from what I knew it wasn't even a lullaby. When I was a kid my mother used to sing to me that too, and it took me even less to fall asleep.

My parents didn't want me to go outside, I knew as well it was dangerous, but somehow I didn't care, I wasn't even sure why I wanted to go out. Maybe I wanted to show I wasn't scared.

Jack the Ripper, all the murder cases everyone talked about in those days, they didn't scare me.

-London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down- I couldn't help but sing again, there was none where I was walking, none could hear me, or at least, that's what I thought -London Bridge is falling down...-

-My Fair Lady- I turned around hearing another voice ending the song for me. My heart was beating faster.

-Who's there??- I asked trying to hide the fear that was growing inside of me. I couldn't be scared, I didn't want to be scared. But for the first time I was afraid to die that way, that night. The thought of Jack the Ripper crossed my mind and I shivered, I didn't want to die but I had to be brave and face the danger.

-London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down....- The stranger avoided my question and the fact that I couldn't see where he was gave me anxiety.

-I'm not scared of you!- I had to say it more to convince myself than anything else.

-Oh I don't think so- Finally he quit singing and gave me a proper answer. I heard those I thought where his steps, getting nearer and nearer -I can feel your fear- I saw a shadow, a human figure -But I swear I won't hurt you, I only wanted to see the owner of that beautiful voice- Finally I could clearly see him. He was dressing in a quite odd way but I didn't mind, I liked strange things.

-What?- I didn't know what else to say, it looked like he really didn't have any bad intentions -Who are you?-

-I'm not Jack the Ripper, in the case you were wondering if I was, and I know you were...- He smirked taking a few steps more towards me.

-That wasn't my question-

-Oh you're actually bold even if you're scared-

-Asnwer me.... And I'm not scared!- The odd situation was making the fear, that I had to admitt I was feeling, fade.

-My name is Drocell, I can't tell anything more about me. I suggest to go away now, I don't want to hurt and I don't want you to get hurt. But if you stay here you will and I couldn't do anything to protect you, so stop being that bold and go home-

-What do you mean?-

-Trust me, I know you will~- I stared at him, somehow I believed him, and I walked past him ready to go home -Oh another thing I know is that you want to meet me again...- I could feel the smirk in his voice.

-What makes you believe that?- I asked not even turning to face him, I didn't want to admit myself that he was right once again.

-It's my sixth sense.... If you want to meet me all you have to do is walk around London Streets at night and sing the song with that beautiful voice of yours, I'm looking forward to see you again... I'll be waiting~- When I turned he was nowhere to be seen. I hurried to get home, it was like I was running away from something. As soon as I reached the house I went to sleep.

My sister woke me up, shaking me with a warm smile -Breakfast is ready!-

I walked downstairs and I sat with my parents to have breakfast.

-It's horrible...- My father said with the newspaper in his hand.

-Whay happened?- I asked even if I knew what the answer would be like, but not at all.

-Another murder- He aswered as I expected, he handed me the newspaper so I could read, and when I did my heart stopped for a moment.

The plave where the mureder happened was exactly the same one where I met Drocell the night before, and only a few minutes after I left. The murderer?

Jack the Ripper.

So he really saved me...

That day I waited until the sun faded leaving the place to the moon and the stars to go out. I didn't go too far away from home. It was incredible how my parents didn't notice me. I began to sing and as the night before he finished the song for me.

-What happened to your voice, it was shaking, are you scared?-

-Not of you- I asnwered facing him like I've known him for years, then I wore a sincere, warm smile -Thank you for yesterday, Drocell...-
