~The Queen's Guard Dog~

~FlashBack~

A young girl sat at her desk staring at the letter in front of her, What did the Queen want now? She had only been home for a few days since her last mission, and now another letter had arrived, sighing the girl slowly opened the letter and read it.

My Dear Little Mouse

I am sure you have heard of the recent killings in London from a man or woman named Jack The Ripper, and I am sure you are as worried for our subjects safety like I am, I have already sent my Guard Dog on the case, but I would like for you to join him, HIs name is Ciel Phantomhive, and while you two work on this case you will be staying at his home in London

I wish you luck, Yours truly Queen Victoria

Sighing the girl re-read the letter, before leaning back in her chair "Julia!" In seconds flat a girl with long raven black hair, and bright bright violet brown eyes walked into the room, brushing the invisible dust off her maid outfit she wore, She gazed over towards the younger girl keeping her small smile "Yes Mi'lady?" "Please pack my bags, Seems we have another case..this time with the Queen's Dog, Ciel Phantomhive."

~? P.o.V~

I stared out the window of the moving carriage sighing softly, it was snowing out now of course that was to be expected it was December after all, a month where everything was grey, cold, and lonely, "Mi'lady we are here." I heard a voice and turned around looking at the seat across from mine my one eye that wasn't covered by a eyepatch looked at my maid Julia and nodded, She slowly opened the door and stepped out, holding a hand out for me 'might as well get this over with' I thought to myself taking ahold of her hand and stepping onto the ground, brushing off the (insert link here) I wore before walking towards the front doors of the Phantomhive Manor, I do have to admit, this Ciel person had a lovely manor, it was quite big..how many people lived here? I had to wonder..I snapped out of my daze and turned as Julia knocked on the door, in seconds a tall man, with raven black hair, and reddish colored eyes opened the door looking towards me and Julia, before smiling "The Queen's mouse, I presume?" I just nodded not saying a word, He opened the door wider smiling "I'm Sebastian Michaelis, My Lord has been waiting for you, Mi'lady." I once again said nothing but followed the man- no Sebastian towards what I suspected was the Lord's study. Sebastian knocked on the door and a voice told him to come in…"The Queen's Mouse?" I looked up and was shocked to say the least, a boy not much older than I sat behind the study, his one blue eye staring over at me, the other covered by a eyepatch much like mine, though it was pitch black while mine was black with a small purple rose coming out from the edge,..."I asked a question." I heard the boy say and shook my head before I curtsey "Correct My Lord, but my full name is Countess Minnie Camelia Pond, It is a honor to meet the Queen's Guard Dog.."

~Ciel's P.o.V~

I heard a knock at my study door and looked up "Come In!" as soon as I said that, Sebastian opened the door revealing a girl, not much younger than me with long violet pink hair, and a teal eye, her other eye hidden by a eyepatch, She walked into the room and gazed over to me "The Queen's Mouse?" She didn't answer at first, just looked at me, I let out a sigh of annoyance "I asked a question." I said trying to keep my voice calm, she shook her head and quickly curtseyed "Correct, My Lord, but my full name is Countess Minnie Camelia Pond, It is a honor to meet the Queen's Guard Dog." I stood up, though my mind wondered, Countess? does that mean she was the head of her household? Most of the time only the son takes over, since many women, or girls for her case would take over the family business "Countess?" I asked and she slowly looked up, I saw a hint of sadness in her eyes "Yes My Lord, My family was..unfortunately killed when I was very long, that including my elder brother Alec who was suppose to take over the family company and, job after Father died, being the last living heir of the Pond estate, I took over though it has been hard, being a women after all." I nodded, her parents were killed like mine…I looked towards her eyepatch before her maid..but shook my head, she wouldn't have done the same thing as me..would she?

~Minnie's P.o.V~

I walked alongside Julia towards the room we would be staying in, Ciel had dismissed me a while ago saying we would talk about the case during dinner, I didn't mind I was ready to take a break and look around. "Mi'lady, I never asked what is your maid's name?" I looked up at Sebastian and looked at Julia who bowed her head before looking at Sebastian with a fake smile..that was weird.."Julia Brook's sir, Head Maid of the Pond Estate." He nodded and turned back around, I looked at Julia who had her eyes narrowed, what was going on with her? She never acted like this.."Julia is something wrong?" "Nothing Mi'lady." She said and smiled at me, I sighed and smiled back, I knew she was lying but I was to tired to argue with her..

But so far, this place is interesting, a Young Lord, a red eyed Butler? i wonder what else I will find with my stay here..
