The carriage shook lightly as I stared out the window watching the scenery of the countryside. The sun was already setting as the sky was filled with the soft pinks, oranges, and yellows. The trees outside had started to thin out slightly as the scenes started to change. I held the envelope that I was sent from the Phantomhive manor in my lap and I brushed back a strand of my tanned blonde short hair. It went down by my ear and got shorter in the back and my eyes we vibrant blue green mix.
"Olive, aren't you excited?" I heard the sweet voice of Iren speaking to me in my head and I looked up to see her and Mara sitting on the other side of the carriage. Iren had her arms wrapped under Mara and her head rested on his shoulder, her blonde hair was pushed back behind his arm on the right side-since it was pressed against his arm- and the left side hanging loosely by her breast. Her pale white face and her slightly chubby cheeks gave her the very angelic glow that she still kept, even now. Mara on the other hand, didn't look pleased. He sat there a blank look on his face as he stared at me his deep brown, almost black shaggy hair fell into his face and his pale red eyes looked tired.
"My name is Oliver now Iren." I told her and looked away, I could feel her stare on me and I knew she was visibly upset that I changed my name.
What a waist! A young girl like you should be picking flowers and selling them. Not working as a doctor for some noble." She said with a rather unpleasant tone in her voice as I turned back to face them as I pushed up my square black framed glasses.
"You are very aware that I am not a very good sales person Irne. Since I have the two of you inside my mind, I'm a skilled healer and swordsman. This is the only job that highlights these points." I said for the millionth time since I told them we were moving.
"I just don't understand why you can't find love so we can leave." Mara said and shifted his gaze from me to his lover Iren as he started to run a hand thru her silky curls making her snuggle closer.
"It is not my issue you are stuck with me and it is not issue that I can't find love. I am only sixteen." I said and looked back outside, the sky had shifted from the pinky sunset colour to more of a deep red and purple as it started to shift into the night. I clenched my hands over the envelope once more. I felt it unfair that these two were stuck in me for a mistake they made. It was completely unfair. For as long as I remember, they have been there...in my mind. Whenever they spoke only I could hear it and sometimes I would see them in my mind as a picture but most other times I saw them in person. No one else did...just me. When I reached the age of ten and after the whole world thought I was crazy, to the point where my mother and father abandoned me on the streets was it that they told me who they were. Iren, was an angel from heaven with a healing talent and Mara was a demon with the skill to dirty souls and murder humans. Apparently one day Iren was trying to save someone Mara had tried to kill and when Mara went to finish the job, he saw her there and they both feel in love. As punishment there souls were placed into my mind until the day I fell in love. Because there souls are in me, I posses Ire's healing talent and Mara's skill to kill. Finally when I was eleven I decided I would use their abilities I was given and became a doctor and I wasn't afraid to kill anyone who owed me money for a long period of time. One of the greatest advantages I have of these two is that my soul is pure even with every murder I completed, meaning that I could never have a dirted soul. Mara once told me that if he wasn't stuck in me he would have tried to make a contract for my soul since it would taste so delicious. Just as I had thought all that, I slowly felt the carriage come to a stop and I focused my gaze outside, now instead of the countryside I once saw the carriage sat in front of a mansion. It was a classic style mansion and looked much older then I knew it was. I was aware that it burnt down five years ago… Standing up in the carriage, I opened the door and my boots crunched under the gravel. Walking to the front, I thanked the man and he helped me with my small suitcase. Walking to the front door with the two creatures behind me, I knocked and stood back waiting. When the door finally opened, I saw a man with black hair, almost the same style as mine and deep wine red eyes staring at me. He must have been a good foot taller than I but he wore a small smile.
"Welcome to the Phantomhive Manor." He said polity and I nodded and I set down my things.
"You must be Sebastian, I am Oliver Henderson." I said and held out my hand to that he took.
"You are the new servant? I'm glad, the Master has been awaiting your arrival." He said and stepped to the side so I can step in, nodding I pick up my things and walking in. The mansion was decorated with such a simple style, there were a few seats to the left but not many and there was a large space on the wall up by the stairs with nothing in it. To the right were door. Two closer to the stairs, almost hidden and one that was close to the front door, the other was in the middle. Closing the door behind us Sebastian gestured for me to follow to which I did. Up the stairs and down a long hall before he finally knocked on a door and opened it slightly.
"Young Master. The new servant has arrived." He said smoothly
"Very well." A slightly deeper voice than expected answered and he opened the door, sitting at a desk with long navy blue almost black hair that went down by his ears and he wore an eyepatch over the left his other eyes was vibrant deep blue...and he looked y age. Sixteen. Stepping into the room, he stood and made his way to the front of his desk. Setting my things down once more by the front of the door, I walked a little loser but left a respectable distance between us and bowed.
"Lord Phantomhive. It is a pleasure to meet you." I say and raise as he scans over me.
"You are Oliver?" He asked and I nodded and handed him the letter I was holding.
"This is the letter you sent me, asking me to bring it to you." I said and he nodded and placed it on his desk before leaning on it. Looking up at him, I noticed he was only slightly taller then I was and for the first time in my life...I felt my heartbeat speed up as I stared at the man...no my Master in front of me. I could feel the smirk on Mara's smirk behind me but I didn't turn around.
"Very well. Sebastian has prepared you several doctors gowns. There is also a room that you will be staying in and you're own personal office." He says and I nod a firm nod.
"Thank you very much, My Lord." I say and bow, after that he gestures to Sebastian to show me around to which he does. My office was rather large compared to what I was use to. There was bed for patients and several shelves already stocked full of herbs and medicines but there was one shelf empty. I assumed it was incase I brought anything -and I did- Other then that there was a small trunk that when I opened it say bandages and medical tape and other tools. When I was finally shown my room, it was a single room with a bed and closet. Sebastian explained that there wasn't enough room where the two other male servants slept to add another bed. When I was finally alone, that's when I saw Iren and Mara again. There were sitting on my bed Iren's head fitting perfectly in Mara's neck and her arms hung loosely by her side.
"We felt your heart rate when you met the Lord." Mara teased and I rolled my eyes and placed my suitcase next to them and clicked the locks opens, half ignoring them.
"Do you think he might be the one….Oliver." She asked saying my new name with displeasure in her voice. I picked up some of my clothes and started to hang them up in the wardrobe.
"Oliver?" Iren asked again when I made my way back to the suitcase. Digging my hands into the sides I looked up.
"No I don't he is my Lord and Master, not someone I'm going to try and get with just so you two can be rid of me." I said and grabbed the rest of my clothes in a huff and hung them up.
"You know we don't want to be rid of you Oliver. We just want to see you happy like us." Iren said but I ignored her this time around.
"Yes, we want to see you happy. I also don't want to be stuck here, but mostly we want you to be happy. Are you really happy pretending to be a man and getting a job here? When you could be spending your days with the love of your life?" Mara said his soft side showing. Hanging up my last casual clothing shirt, I turned around.
"Truthfully no, but I also don't want to frolic in a field of flowers with a man." I said and I started to strip off my clothes and put them away so I can change into my uniform. Staring down at what would have been my chest was now white bandages forcing my breast into a flat state, also wearing boys underwear with a pair of my socks in it, wasn't comfortable but worth it to get this job. Changing into my uniform I headed to my office.
