Part 02: Cherryblossom

Black Butler/Sims 3
Grell’s Tale
By Axel Ingleson (AKA Sebastian Michaelis)



A month after Grell adopted Cerise, the orphanage called with news of a second girl who also needed a new home. She had been left at the orphanage by an elderly neighbor after a fire had taken her parents while she was at school. The neighbor had never actually known the family, or the girl’s name. But the people at the orphanage had started calling her Cherryblossom because of her brilliant red hair, and the name had stuck. She had been in the orphanage for a couple of weeks, passed over by all because of her hair color. People wanted children who looked like them and red, especially that shade, was simply unheard of in most families.

Grell took one look at the girl, whose hair color, like Cerise, matched his own, and agreed to take her into his home. Although a bit of a loner to begin with, Cherryblossom was quite happy to be leaving the orphanage. It was simply too crowded there.

Although not too fond of hugs, Cherryblossom was too grateful not to give one to her new father. She would, she decided, put up with it for his sake. He, after all, had been kind enough to give her a home and a new sister to play with. One sister, she decided, was fine with her.
