Chapter 1
getting a Job
Your POV:
Its a cold day in August the wind is blowing and the sky is cloudy. I'm on my way to where my employer , lord Redhound, is in hope of finding me a new job.
Life Has been hard since the lords wife died. The true cause of her death was never publicly disclosed and only I and my lord know why she died so suddenly. Lady Susan took quite the likeing to me as I grew up. I soon became her personal maid and we were very close. Her children hated their mothers relationship with a servant and treated me crewly.
A few years after lady Susan's death my lord got very ill and was given less than a year to live. As his wife's last wish she had asked that I was treated fair and that I lived a happy life. In fear after his own death I would be forced to work for his children he got in contact with the Earl Phantomehive who's late father he had been close with.
Lost in thought i stare at my black evening gown. it was black with blood red roses at the side. My (h/l), (h/c) hair was lose with a black headband resting on my head. I looked very much like some goth which was my preferred style.
My lord looked at me sympathetically and began to speak ,"My dear , please do not worry. The earl phantomehive is not as scary as you might think. He is a young child of the age of 13 and although he has the mind of an adult. He is very proud of his name and will do you no harm, unless you give him reason."
He looks at me signalling for me to sit beside him. I move over to where he sits in the carriage and he gives me a hug. Before beginning to speak again," It won't be long maybe about 10 minets till we reach the manner. You know you are like a daughter to me and I only want what is best for you. I have left you some money and clothes to get you started and I do hope you become happy at your new job."
Once we arrive at the manner we are greeted by a young man looking to be a few years older than myself. He has black hair and white porcelain skin. His eyes are quite strange. They appear to be a deep blood red. Without thinking I dismiss it as a trick of the light.
"Good afternoon, Lord Redhound I trust your
trip wasn't too troublesome. Let me escort you and your companion to My lords study we have been expecting your arrival." The man then turns to me and for a split second looks almost shocked before speaking,"Good evening miss, I am Sebastian , head butler to the Earl Phantomehive. Might I ask your name miss?"
He asks this very elegantly as he escorts me out the carriage. I begin to speak,"Nice to meet you Sebastian I am_ personal maid to the late Lady Susan Redhound and protector of lord Malcolm Redhound." He looks taken aback by my introduction before escorting us into the house and towards the study. He knocks on the door and we here a young voice ,"come in".
We enter the study and find a elegantly dressed young boy with midnight blue hair and an eye patch covering his right eye. his left eye was a deep royal blue and you could be lost in the sorrow which filled them.He begins to speak," Good Afternoon Lord Redhound, We have been expecting you. If I am correct you have a favour to ask of me?" He notices me standing next to Lord Redhound and a blush fills his face but only for a second before Lord Redhound speaks," Yes Earl Phantomehive, I would like to introduce you to_ , she was the personal maid to my late wife and my own personal body guard. Due to my illness i fear I do not have long to live and I do not wish for her to work for my children."
The earl appears to take an interest when Lord Redhound says I was his personal body guard and begins to study my body laungage. Before speaking once more," I believe you said she was your body guard. So are you implying she knows how to fight?" Lord Phantomehive says this curiously.
"Why yes Earl, she can", Lord Redhound begins ," In fact she is quite skilled naturaly in most things." This statement seems to grab both the butlers and The Earl's attention. The Earl replys curiously," If it would be ok with you I would like to see these fighting for myself. May I ask that she fights my butler outside while we have some tea?"
Lord Redhound looks at me as if looking for my approval and I nod to him. " Why yes if you are sure", Lord Redhound looks almost concerned as we are escorted to the back garden.
The butler then brings the tea before we both move to opposite sides if the gravel area. "The ruled are simple-" Lord Phantomehive announced "- The first person to hold the opposite to the floor for 5 seconds wins." He then looks over at the now obviously nervous Lord Redhound before adding," And don't kill eachother" with a chuckle we began.
Sebastian looks at me and mutters," This should be easy enough she wearing that long dress." He then begins to run at me. I quickly dodge before undoing the side of my skirt and in one motion removing it to reveal a short skirt just higher than my knees. And pulling out my weapons. Everyone watching stares in amazement as I attack Sebastian kicking him to the other side of the garden. Then looking shocked he grins and he starts throwing silverware at me from out if nowhere. Why does this feel familiar? Well I to have weapons. I pull out a dagger tucked into the side of my dress and a bottle of pain inducing liquid. If he is not human this will give him a whole lot of pain but not kill him. and if he is human it will heal the wound.
I dab the contents onto the knife being careful not to touch it and lunge at him. After a few failed attempts I manage to swipe one if his legs. He cries out in pain which shocks both himself and his master. This shows he is in fact not human. While he still continues to fight trying to avoid touching his leg. He must have figured out what was on the knife. Once you touch it the poison slowly travels around the body making you unable to move and filling you with severe pain until you are given the antidote.
After 5 minutes he became unable to move his right leg or arm and by 10 minutes he was lying there obviously in pain. I wait 5 seconds before bowing and turning towards Lord Phantomehive with a devilish smirk.
"You appear to have won miss_ . Although I said you were not to kill each other." He looks at me still in shock and I laugh before replying," He will not die. Us is merely paralysed temporally by the poison. I pull out another bottle from a slit in my dress and show it to the earl before adding," And this will cure him." I walk over to the butler who is now glaring at me whilst trying to hide his pain and I kneel down and pour a drop of the liquid into his wound.
Almost immediately the wound healed and after 10 minutes the butler was back to normal. I sat next to Lord Redhound and began to drink my tea. The Earl then spoke," It is getting late. If you would not mind would you please stay here until tomorrow I will see to It you have suitable accommodation in my manner and I ask that you join me for dinner and we will discuss the matter further. Until then I will have Sebastian escort you to your rooms.
We were then escorted to our rooms to prepare ourselves for dinner.
Normal POV-After finishing taking The Lord Redhound and his companion to their rooms Sebastian made his way to his masters study. He enters the room and Ciel begins to yell angrily at him," What the bloody hell was that all about? Its not like you to be defeated by a small cut!"
Sebastian walked over to his lord before replying calmly," It would appear our little friend knows more about in human creatures than she lets on. The knife she cut my leg with was soaked in a poison which brings anything which is not human alot of pain and makes them temporally Paralysed. Had she used it on a human it would have made the knives cut heal instantly allowing for her to make painful and dangerous cuts without killing the human.The antidote does the opposite healing non human creatures and paralysing the humans temporally. The two poisons can only be obtained by mixing the blood of a 1/4 demon and 3/4 human with eather red roses to paralyze in human creatures and white roses to paralyze humans"
Ciel looked at his butler curiously before saying," So is she a human"Sebastian thought for a moment and looked at his master,"I am afraid it is impossible to know in this circumstance only she could tell you and I am afraid she may hide that fact until she feels she can trust us." Ciel thought for a moment. Before excusing his butler from the room to help with the dinner preparations.
Your POV-
After cleaning myself up I change into a beautiful black dress with gold lace. I fix up am hair and pull out a sketch book from my suitcase.
I draw a cute kitten and just as I Finnish I here a knock on my door. "come in", I say fixing up my drawing. I see the Earl's butler enter the room," Good Evening Sebastian, sorry about earlier I do hope you have recovered." I say this sympathetically as I place the drawing on the table. Sebastian notices what i am drawing and pics it up from the table and says ," You are quite talented, miss _"
He hands me back the drawing but i give it back to him,"You can keep it if you want, I have many drawings and to be honest I am trying to get rid of them." A smile crosses his face but only for an instant then he says in his normal elegant tone," Why thankyou, Dinner is ready and I am hear to escort you to the dinning room"
We walk to the dining room where the Earl and Lord Redhound have already been seated and I take my seat between the Earl and Lord Redhound. As dinner is served the Earl begins to speak," So miss _ may I ask where you are from?" He looks at me and i reply," To be completely honest I don't know. My mother one of the maids died when i was 1 and I was raised by the household butler." Lord Redhound confirmed this and adds ," After the butler left after the death of my wife a few years ago any clues to her past were lost." Sebastian looks at me curiously while Ciel asks," If you don't mind me asking, what caused the death of your late wife? I am afraid the circumstances of her death were never fully disclosed." Lord Redhound looks at me and then I speak," I am afraid the butler killed her Lord Phantomehive. And that is why he left." Sebastian gives me a look of understanding before he cleans up the dishes and takes them out the room. Then The Earl speaks again," So Lord Redhound how much do you want for miss_ ? " Lord Redhound shakes his head and says kindly ," I only wish that she is taken care of and has a happy life." The Earl agrees to his terms and calls his butler back in. " Sebastian please after dinner escort miss to a free room in the servants quarters and see that her belongings are taken there to." Sebastian then kneels and puts his hand on his heart and says,"Yes my lord"
Once I finished my dinner Sebastian escorts me to my room and I get ready for bed.
End of chapter 1 Hope you enjoyed reading!
