"Mistress, we will be arriving at the Phantomhive's mansion soon. So please put away your book and get ready to greet the master of the house." The shoulder length black haired deep red eyed maid informed her.
"Akane, what was his name again?" The young girl asked.
"Mistress, you really need to remember the name of the person who is giving you a home." The maid, Akane, said.
"Answer the question." The young mistress raised her voice as she turned her ice blue gaze onto her servant.
"His name is Ciel Phantomhive, Mistress." Akane finally gave into her master's request.
The young mistress turned to the window, her long, white, strait, yet soft looking hair caught one of the few rays of sunshine that filtered through the clouds. It also covered a white eye patch over her left eye. She watched as the small and far Phantomhive mansion grew larger as they got closer.

"Young master, please hurry. They will arrive any moment." The butler pleaded as his master slowly walked down the hall to the main staircase.
"Shut up, you don't want me to be out of breath when they arrive, do you?" Ciel growled. The butler sighed in defeat. It only took a few more moments to get the stairs and that was Ciel shook his head and murmured, "Why did Madame Red ask me to do this?"

The young girl and her maid arrived at the Phantomhive's mansion. The large entry doors opened as they reached the top of the stairs. The butler greeted them.
"Welcome, please come in." he bowed as they walked past. Akane nodded a small thank you to him then turned her attention to her mistress and Ciel.
"Welcome, Alice," Ciel said to the girl that seemed to be a little younger than him, "The late Madame Red had it written in her will that you are to live here, in my care."
"I have been well informed of that, sir Phantomhive." Alice told him.
"Please call me Ciel. We only have five servants hired presently." He gestured to the side of the room. "There is Finny, the gardener, Meirin, the maid, Bard, the cook, Tanaka and Sebastian my butler."
"This is my maid, Akane." Alice said and Akane bowed slightly. The gardener and the maid waved to Akane but stopped immediately when Sebastian looked at them.
"All of your luggage has been placed in your rooms. If you would like to come with me, I will take you to your rooms." Sebastian moved to go up the staircase and Alice and Akane walked after him at a respectful distance.
As soon as they disappeared into a hallway, they heard Ciel yell, "You have work to do, don't you? Get to it!"
Alice clearly jumped at the sound of his loud voice then let a small angry sigh out, she was angry at herself for jumping and that the butler had seen it too. The anger was underlined with a hint of worry and fear that her new home would become her new horror filled dungeon but one glance at Akane calmed that, for now at least.
Yay! My first chapter up! The little cross things are suppose to be daggers but it didn't work on here. :(
Me: How do think this will go?
Sebastian: Very good but Grell isn't going to be in here is he?
Me: Only if you are bad
Akane: Will I talk more in the next chapter?
Me: O.O I have no idea.
