Her cousin

It was a cold morning; the clouds covered the blue sky. Snow laid on the road so as the side walk yet it was crowded.

Children hollered with joy, couples hold hands, women gossiped on the streets, carriages travelled on the streets.

Click, clack, click, clack, the ends of Julia's heal clicked against the ground each further step she took.

Julia wore a Mantua dress; it had taupe wool with stripes of dull orange and blue, embroidered in silver-gilt thread.

"Aunt Susan…." I say without finishing my sentence, "yes Julia? What is it you ask" aunt questioned.

"Well you see, why is it you leave me in the hands of cousin Ciel?" I question uncomfortably "Julia I have gone over this with you many times, you're staying with your cousin Ciel because I have important business to take care of however no matter how much you question I won't change my plans" aunt stated swiftly.

I sigh with disappointment 'I wonder how cousin Ciel's manor appears to be' I thought, 'but the real question is cousin Ciel kind' I thought.

"Come on now Julia, I have prepared a carriage to the Phantomhive manor" aunt Susan said with a kind expression.

I sigh silently not to spoil aunts mood, I calmly exit the manor I lived since the day I set forth to the world, I swiftly walk towards the carriage by the time I was inches away from the carriage I turn my eye to the manor I'll be seeing last no more.

I turn my attentions to the carriage and finally entered inside, my aunt held the carriage door meaning to close it on me with my surprise I quickly blurted out a question "aunt Susan aren't you going to come along with me!?" I hesitated for a moment till then aunt surprisingly gave me a soft smile and answered with her kind soothing voice "I'm sorry dear, I won't be coming with you however I should've warned you this earlier but I have important business to take care of that is taken place in France although I hope this won't be the last I'll be seeing you."

My eyes widened when she hoped this won't be the last she'll be seeing me, I quickly protested "but aunt-" till I was interrupted by her speaking's "off you go, make sure she has a safe trip" aunt ordered the driver.

The driver nodded his head in reply and Aunt Susan closed the carriage door for me no longer to be able to protest further more.

The carriage finally took its leave I raised both my hands against the carriage window looking back at the manor then to Aunt Susan, Aunt waved goodbye with a smile.

I stayed put in position till I lost sight of Aunt Susan and the manor at the carriage window, I sat back disappointed but thinking how cousin Ciel looked like then a random thought came in mind 'is he… cute?' in an instant my cheeks turned red and I was blushing 'how could you think of such distasteful questions!?' I yelled in my head.

"I'm such an idiot" I told myself, finally I was bored in the carriage 'how far is the Phantomhive manor?' I complained.

I crossed my legs and rested my head at the behind of my right hand, 'ok Julia once you lay eyes on Ciel behave and act like a mature lady, but I wonder if cousin Ciel aged 14 like me ' I thought for a moment.

'Oh I remember uncle joseph clearly stated last week we were aged the same' I smiled with relief, moments later I still haven't arrived yet at the Phantomhive.

"How far is the bloody-"the carriage stopped moving, I looked out the window and I finally arrived at the Phantomhive manor I then smiled.

The carriage door opened by a handsome butler but it wasn't someone I recognised; he was a tall adult with black hair and deep red eyes.

He typically wore black trousers, a tail coat, and a vest with pale white gloves and his skin was quite pale.

"Good evening miss Julia, I am Sebastian Michaelis" he gave a welcoming smile and added "I'm simply a butler who serves the Phantomhive manor" he then ended his sentence.

"I see" I said in reply with a fake smile, Sebastian then extended a hand towards me and I grabbed hold of it exiting the carriage.

The maid who wore round circled glasses took hold of my luggage and brought it inside the Phantomhive manor, I then released the butlers hand Sebastian turned to me "if you could be so kind to follow, I will be directing you to the young masters office" I then nodded in reply.

Sebastian turned away and we both entered the Phantomhive manor, my eyes freely looked around the manor then I noticed the maid from earlier and other two men lined up in a straight line facing me.

"good evening miss Julia" the three said equally at the same time with warm smiles I then curtsied and replied "good evening" with a smile.

After all the directions we finally arrived in front of cousin Ciel's office, Sebastian extended a hand towards the door knob and we both entered the room. (note:there will be some yaoi and romance some humour in the next few chapters so be patient.)
