~Chapter One-~
Pain.It was everywhere,like death it was were laced with it and it was suffocating Mey-Rin,no matter where she went it was she embraced amber eyes that hardened she gave a glance to her surroundings and a dark chilling laugh clawed its way free from her lips,it was almost..inhuman."Mercy" was the word that was repeated over and over again like a chant,as if it would somehow relax the beast it didn't,not even as the body of a man writhed beneath her combat boots which glistened with blood in the dark and dismal sky-like it had a mind of its own and could sense the horrors below."Mercy?." she said softly as she pondered sarcastically the thought of it,and stomped the heel of her boot on the face of the man in answer;and blood spouted from his nose,it had become broken and beyond repair."I don't know the meaning." she growled and without further ado pointed a weathered pistol to the man's skull and a sadistic grin was the last thing the man saw before pain and darkness greeted him to death.
"My sweet Mey-Rin." a voice echoed through the place of nightmare,fear coated her tongue as bile rose in the back of her was sickly sweet and it was the last thing that Mey-Rin heard before pain greeted her also,and black dots danced in her vision.
Mey-Rin gasped as she jolted over she gulped for air as tremor after tremor passed through her body as she tried to grasp a hold of her body felt cold as ice while sweat poured down it and with shaking hands she desperately rubbed her arms;trying to get rid of the goosebumps that resided there."I-it was just a d-dream" she said softly to herself as her voice cracked with fear as if her words would drag her back into her hellish she regained her composure she looked at the window and noted it was close to dawn and decided that since she couldn't go back to sleep she might as well do some chores to relax her a little.
(Mey-Rin P.O.V)
I sighed after I donned my maids dress and buttoned up the collar but spared only two buttons to not constrict my I walked down the halls of the Phantomhive Manor I found myself in the kitchen and was surprised to see Bard hunched over a counter taking a long drag from a cigarette."Bard?" I called out curiously,he shifted his gaze to mine and rose an eyebrow in my direction.
"Oi Mey-Rin!,what are you doin' up so early?" he drawled out as he opened a window and flicked out his cigarette and replaced it with a new one."I could say the same to you,yes I could" I said as I rolled my eyes,he grinned and shrugged "I was thirsty,and you?".I smirked knowing he probably downed a few of the Phantomhive whisky that was in the cellar "problems sleeping." I replied grin grew even more then I thought possible,I rose an eyebrow at his expression.
"Sorry that my boyish good looks kept ya' up all night darlin'." I snorted "in your dreams"
"each and every night" he said with a developed as we stared intently at each other but it was scattered as we both broke down into a fit of rolled down my cheeks as I clutched at my ribs trying to hold back the uncontrollable laughter but failing looked like Bard was having the same problem as his fist slammed down on the counter repeatedly as if would help him from the we both calmed down I patted Bard on the back appreciatively,
"Thanks Bard,I needed that." "No problem,little missy" Bard he said with a smile and with that I left with the feeling that things were going to be good,but I was dead wrong.
After my time with Bard I headed out to the supply closet to grab the wax."I better not make the same mistake again." I remembered sourly and made sure to grab it instead of the shoe polish, "I wonder where Mister Sebastian is?."It was odd for me not to see him up so early,but I gave a shrug and started out my chores.
I had just finished polishing all the wood furniture without a hitch when I felt feeling of being hand itched for my pistol underneath my dress,after my time in my earlier occupation I've learned to always strike fast and steady but then I remembered..
I'm not a mercenary anymore I chastised but the dread of being open and watched was heavy,so I instead settled with spinning around.I locked eyes..er-glasses with crimson ones;and immediately my breath hitched and I gave a jolt-pressing my hand above my heart or least I pretended but being uncomfortable was very real for his face was mere inches from mine."M-Mist-ter Se-ebastian heaven forbid!,you almost gave me a heart-attack. Yes you did." I croaked out,this seemed to entertain him because he smirked down at me and then straightened himself up to stand over me.I suddenly felt the urge to shoot a bullet straight through his head but dismissed it and instead forced a blush to amuse him-I'm sure further."Well I just wanted to say,good work so far Mey-Rin and keep it up." he spun around and headed to the kitchen where an explosion roared across the manor.I narrowed my eyes so far?Eh and just after that I just wanted to finish all my chores perfectly without any problems just to prove him wrong and I did just that.
Approximately three hours later after my announcement for my goal,I had finally finished all of them and to say I was a little bit proud of doing so was an understatement. I headed out to the garden to check on Finnian because I feared honestly for the plants but was nicely surprised to find out he didn't kill any of them so far.
(Third Person P.O.V)
Mey-Rin scouted the garden for Finnian but to no reward,but she suddenly heard soft and childish singing being sung behind the trees;and so she walked forward to peer over a large oak to see sat cross legged on the ground with both hands placed on either ankle and leaned back against another large oak tree as he sang,her heart felt as it was being tugged for it reminded her of her native and of her family,she missed them and wondered how they were doing and it left tears in her eyes but she refused to let them fall,her Teacher taught her that to never cry and she would honor him by not doing she walked up to Finnian with a small smile on her face.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
He sung out,but after he realized her presence he stopped and a smile lit up his face."Mey-Rin!,do you like my singing?." "yes very much" she assured which made him radiate happiness off his small made her smile and she admired how he can lit up people's days, "what are you doing on the ground though Finni?" she giggled "I'm singing to the plants,want to sing with me?" that took Mey-Rin off guard and she paused,Finnian must have seen this because he pouted "please!,I don't know much songs I'm afraid." he spoke honestly. Mey-Rin sighed.
(Mey-Ren P.O.V)
"Okay then,but let me think of any songs." I replied,Finnian eagerly nodded and I lightly chuckled;and so I began thinking over any songs that I might remember from my childhood or might have I remembered a song I was sung to as a child by my mother when I was just a wee lass and by my family when I just started out my training as a child,they used to sing me to sleep with this after a long hard day.
Can you no hush your weepin'
A' the wee lambs are sleepin'.
Birdies and bairnies are nestlin' the gither,
Dream Angus is hirplin' ower the heather.
Dreams for sale, fine dreams for sale,
Angus has got fine dreams for sale
Hush my wee bairnie an' sleep wi' oot fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream my dear.
(Third Person P.O.V)
As lunch time neared all was silent in the garden of the Phantomhive Manor except for a sweet and tender voice that sung softly in the was spellbound by the sweet words that spilled from his friends mouth,and automatically his eyelids felt heavy as sleep whispered sweet nothings in his ear and promised of the escape to dreamland;but suddenly another explosion ran out from inside the manor which startled both Mey-Rin and a once sleepy Finnian.
They both glanced at one another "Bard" they said together and ran off towards the kitchen to find the Phantomhive cook before he decided to perform another one of his magnificent arts of explosion with his food he prepared.
Sebastian though,beat them to it and was now chastising the cook with an afro burnt from the explosion who was hanging his head in paid no mind and continuing lecturing him on the use of grenades in cooking."Bard,I've told you time and time must be patient and unless you do so,then I am stuck cleaning up after your failures."
"Sorry Mis'tah Sebastian-sir." Bard rubbed his neck sheepishly,Sebastian pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance "do try to be more careful,Bard."; Sebastian turned around to focus his attention on the bystanders of this scene.
(Sebastian P.O.V)
After I finished lecturing Bardory for his failures at being a chef I sensed the presence of the other members of the idiotic trio-Finnian and Mey-Rin.I composed myself before my urge to rip off Bardory's head consumed me,and focused on Finnian and Mey-Rin.
I rose an eyebrow and eyed their appearance,both looked somewhat nervous and that maybe due to the fact that they just ran to see what caused the commotion,nervous? hmm...that is probably due to their fear of me.I could feel the corners of my mouth beginning to turn but I willed it back because if I did it would be demonic.To be honest though,I wonder what their reaction would be if they saw my true form.Would they still admire and have devotion towards me if I did? I thought with an inward smirk,but quickly dismissed it that would have to wait.
"Finnian! Mey-Rin!,fix your attire!.You are servants of the Phantomhive Household,not like some common help." I chastised,my eyes narrowed in irritation.
(Mey-Rin P.O.V)
"And really!,try to make yourself if we had guests!,then the honor of the Phantomhive's would be tarnished all because of the both of you deci-" Sebastian ranted on but thankfully the bell sounded from the study-Ciel no doubt had perfect timing.I sigh of relief almost flew out of my mouth but I held it in,until Sebastian left that is;Sebastian sighed and with a warning glare he left towards the study.
I turned to Bard,he grinned and gave me the thumbs-up.I shook my head,"what was that all about?" I asked "dunno' " he replied "but somethin' got is' knickers in a knot" I giggled "no,more like he has a stick stuffed up his ar-" I was cut off by a wail."Don't say such things bout' Mister Sebastian!,he's been nothin' but good to us!." Finnian cried out,tears built up in his eyes and threatened to fall over.I sighed,"we're just playing we are Finnian." "Its still mean" he protested as he furiously wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
Both Bard and myself sighed,"It's okay Finni" Bard rose from leaning against the counter and strolled over to Finnian and gave him a pat on the back.I smiled sweetly to him which caused a smile of his own to lit up his once upset sniffled "I just don't like people being mean to others." he said softly "we know,but we don't mean any harm;always remember that Finni." I said as I embraced him in a comforting arms automatically hugged me back,and I smiled more.
"Mey-Rin" I pulled away to look at Sebastian who was in the door frame looking at me with a smirk "Young master Ciel wants to see you in his study.".I nodded and released Finnian,I walked side by side with Sebastian;his expression was guarded and stared straight forward as we made our way but I could tell he was curious about something.
We reached the door and Sebastian knocked on the door and a "Come in." replied to which he opened the door quickly and walked inside-I followed Ciel was leaning over his desk with a hot cup of tea by his side as he kept his gaze on a paper.
(Third P.O.V)
"Master Ciel,I have brought -Rin as you have requested." Sebastian said as he quickly bowed with a hand over his gave a nod in acknowledgment but continued reading the piece of the servants waited Sebastian made his way to his proper postion-sitting behind Ciel's suddenly dropped his paper and cleared his throat "Mey-Rin I've called you here because you have received a letter in the mail." a look of surprise passed over Mey-Rin's face.
(Mey-Rin P.O.V)
A letter?! I thought confused who would send me a letter,The first thought came to mind was my family or rather the team of assassins that trained me since I could other possibilities came up and none of them were good The Black Brotherhood? I thought but dismissed it if they knew I was here then they would have sent someone here to try to kill me I inwardly sneered they could try but I paused.I realized that Master Ciel was waiting for my answer as well as Sebastian "Young Master,is it alright if I read this letter in private?" I asked knowing he probably wanted to see my reaction to the letter. "If you must but it has to be on your own time." I nodded "thank you Young Master." Ciel waved his hand and immediately Sebastian stepped in front of me and handed me the paper on the envelope looked heavy and the writing on it said one thing Mey-Rin,I could tell one sent this letter was very wealthy but as I stared at the writing I got a dull ache in the back of my writing was familiar but I couldn't remember from what,but I knew the letter was bad news.
