(A/N) HI-lo peoples of the Internets, this is my first time doing this and I don't have any clue what I'm doing so please bear with me. I have this bad habit of writing mini stories about everything, especially shows and stuffs like that XD so there may not be a very clear plot. Anyways here we go. *gently pushes reader off the cliff and into Storyland (a.k.a. the dark depths of my wild and evil imagination!)* bye bye XD

A soft knock echoes through the main hall, followed by the sound of footsteps on tile. The darkened doors open slowly, a tall man stood in the entranceway, looking for the person who knocked. He sees a small figure.

"May I help you?"

"….." thud, the unknown figure at the door collapses on the steps. With a swift and well practiced movement he catches the person.

"Well, who is it?" A small voice rang out from upstairs, a boy of 14 walks down the stairs towards the main entrance.

"That is still unknown, young master. She seems to have collapsed on the steps"

"Ah, well, then I shall retire to my study until she awakens. Take her to one of the guest rooms until then. After you have finished that, Sebastian, prepare me a snack and bring it to me." The young master turns and walks back to his study.

"Yes, my lord." After bowing, Sebastian then takes the unconscious girl to a room and lays her on the bed, lit the fire and returned to the kitchen to prepare the young masters snack.

-An hour or so later—

The girl wakes up to find herself in a completely different environment than she last remembered. She quickly surveyed the room. There were paintings on the walls of beautiful landscapes and a rather large mirror hanging over a vanity with a washing basin on it. Walking slowly over to it she notices that her eyes had turned blue, controlling herself she returned them to their normal brown color. Just then a knock sounded from the door.

"My lady, the young master wishes to speak with you, if you have woken up." The girl doesn't say anything, but walks out of the room and nods to the butler standing there. "Shall we be on our way?" Sebastian leads her down the hallway to the doors of the study. Once again knocking he says "My lord, your visitor has awakened."

"Very well then, bring her in. I don't have all day."

"Yes, my lord" Sebastian leads the girl into the room. She looks around the room with mild interest. Sebastian closes the door quietly. An air of stifling silence settles on the room.

…

"Your name?" startled the girl jumps and turns suddenly, eyes wide. "What is your name?" the lord questions.

"Nyx." The girl responded with even less emotion than the young master. Raising the only eyebrow showing, the young lord says "That is a delightful name, My lady. My name is Ciel Phantomhive, earl of the Phantomhive estate and this is my butler, Sebastian."

"Indeed, my lord, I am simply one hell of a butler." Sebastian smiles at their guest. Nyx looks at Sebastian again.

"Simply one HELL of a butler, I like that." Nyx then turns back to Ciel. "Things aren't always as they seem…." Whispers the girl.

"What was that?" the earl asked politely.

"I only said that I liked your butler's catchphrase, assuming that is his catchphrase, seeing as he spoke with such confidence and practice." Shock shows on both the earls and his butler's face.

"You are correct, my lady. In light of that logic it would seem as though it was my catchphrase. You are quite observant. If I do say so myself."

Ciel spoke next, "Putting that aside, I do wish to know the reason for your sudden appearance at my door."

"I saw the manor and became curious as to why it was here. I am not from around here, so I didn't realize that someone lived here."

A quizzical look passed over the earl's face. "Why would you think that it was empty? I do believe that our gardens are well maintained and that there is always a light on somewhere within the manor. I also do believe that the outside appearance of the manor is not rundown."

"Yes, you are quite right, but things aren't always as they seem and appearances can be deceiving."

"My lord, I have yet to bring you your evening tea. Allow me to go prepare you some for yourself and your guest."
