Cold Rose
His Maid, Indecisive
Morning dew lazily hangs in the lips of white roses. My memory before last night is slightly coming back, who or what 'I' was, my sisters, my vengeance and my duty, however it is still full of holes, my only lead is that fact that it wasn't chance that brought me to this mansion, it was surely part of a plan, I just forgot. I took a deep breath and sighed at the thought of executing a scheme that I have no memory off.
Suddenly a vivid yet piercing tone sang in my ear…. Young miss, aren't you cold?
I jerked as the voice let out a sigh in my neck. I spun around, a fine young man stood in front of me, he was wearing an all black suite and white gloves.
'Oh…ahhh.. I'm fine thank you, I replied.
He raise one of his eye brows at me as if wondering, how can you be fine, if your only wearing your night gown and no slippers on this chilled morning.
I blushed at the realisation, and tangled my arms to my body.
The guy in black, took his blazer off and rested it on my shoulders as he notice my expressions.
'My name is Sebastian Michealis, the head butler of the Phantomhive estate' he said, as he bowed with his hand on his chest.
I curtsied, 'Hello, you may call me Elise' I replied.
'have you had mush rest, my lady' he formally ask.
'Please, call me Elise and it was very well thank you' I replied.
'…..and I'm sorry about last night, I was quite rude' I added
Sebastian just gave a smile. Although it seemed very fake, I was glad just to say my fault.
'The Young master requested for you to join him for breakfast'. He said
'Oh, I see. I replied sheepishly.
I'm pretty sure he was staring at me closely after I replied... because of that I became more uncomfortable and avoided his gaze.
I could feel his breath as he leaned closer to my face; his hands were inches away from my cheeks.-
'ha..ha..ha…choouuu~.' I covered my mouth, and gestured an excuse.
As a reply he tilted his head and gave a half smile full of amusement.
'It shall be held at the rose garden gazebo, in the northern side of the mansion, Maylin will escort you.
I nodded.
'Shall we' he said while extending his right arm towards the door.
I nodded and tiptoed while gripping the velvety blazer that Sebastian gave me.
I closed my eyes in embarrassment, as I recall my self, standing outside near the rose bushes while gazing stupidly at nowhere.
All of a sudden, I couldn't feel the ground under my feet. As I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of red wine coloured orbs staring in my eyes, intently but gentle in the same time.
'Se..Se..Sebastian…' I gasped with a panic tone.
'My lady the ground is slightly muddy, you'll only get your paws dirty if you continue to walk bear footed' He confidently accused.
'No please!, I can manage put me do'- , I leaped away from his arms and landed with my two hands on the ground. His sarcasm stunned me like a gun.
'paws', I questioned him with spite. He gave me a grin.
'The scent of your kind is as sweet as ever, plus your reaction, pretty much gave it away' He answered.
God, I am stupid. I stood up and stared directly at the guy who can pretty much ruin everything.
'It was clever of you to lay in mud to cover your scent' He added.
'What are you!, how do you know about my kind'
'my lady, I'm simply one hell of a butler' he said as he strode towards me, suddenly he was only inches in front of me.
'What- the!'
I jerked backwards after seeing Sebastian's face so close to mine.
'Stop that!' I demanded.
'Stop what', he said as he leaned closer to my face.
'That!' I argued while, trying to push him away
'Oh, you mean this'. He grabbed my right hand and lifted me up to his shoulder with my butt facing the front.
'Put! Me! Down! I nagged while trying to get off.
'You must hurry to get ready my lady'. He said
'Alright! Alright!, just put me down already!'
As he put me down, I scorned at his face, poke my tongue out and ran away towards the door still holding on to his blazer.
'She's still very young and naïve' Sebastian grinned.
'hicckksss, What a pain! Who does he think he is! Seriously!'
I was in the middle of wrestling my pillow when a knock at the door came.
'Elise san?, uuhhmmm, I have your clothes'
'May-rene!' I opened the door and gave her a big hug.
'ehhh!, are you okay' gasped May-rene.
'May-rene is so much better than anyone in this mansion, too bad you're a girl- honestly I want to marry you' I whined while rubbing my cheeks on her chin.
May-rene gave an awkward giggle and sighed at the thought.
Suddenly she gave a shocked expression.
'May-rene whats wrong?' I asked
'uhmm isn't that Sebastian-san's blazer' She wondered with a fright while pointing at the subject that was on the bed.
After that all my fury and frustration at the memory of this morning got the better of me, I summoned my claws and shredded the damned black cloth until it flutter like black rose petals.
I turned around and saw May-rene cowering at the corner with hands on her red cheeks. After a moment of daze she quickly stood up and groped my shoulders.
'Did he found out!' She asked aggressively.
'…yes..'. I sighed
'ARRHHHHHHH, What did he do! Tell me!' May-rene screamed.
' Well, he ..' I stopped as soon as I heard a knock.
'uhmm.. young master would be ready in ten, the lady is requested to prepare and join him at the gazebo' A young voice of a lad echoed.
'Oh Finny!' May-rene said 'come in, I want you to meet Elise'
As the door open, a boy with blonde shaggy hair, pinned bangs and blue eyes appeared. He was wearing a straw hat that hanged at his back, a white shirt with a red collar and chequered orange shorts.
'Hello, I'm Elise!' I cheered.
'he..hello' The boy mumbled. His expressions where shocked and marvelling, after that he started blushing and fidgeting.
'OIii! Finny give me a hand here!' a strong voice snapped Finny out of his trance.
'ahh! I'm coming Bard sorry!' He said as he bowed and left the room.
'Oh! We need to get you ready now Elise-san' said May-rene.
'Okey,' I nodded
A few minutes later I was dressed in midnight blue, I had black ribbons tied in both of my risks; a criss-cross pattern was also tied in my chest with a blue ribbon tying it up at the top of my dress.
The laces that rested at my collarbone revealed the top of my shoulder. The dress stopped at about five inches to my knees, white stockings with a rose patterns where carved and showed a more transparent cloth compared to the base. My black pump shoes had an inch of heels with a blue strap.
I twirled around five times letting the fabrick of my dress dance in the air, then I blushed at the realisation of May-rene looking at me with praising eyes.
'You look beautiful Elise-san'
'Thank you, your master has good taste' I gleefully replied.
After a few giggles we then headed to the gazebo, my thoughts then started to be shadowed by Sebastian's grinning face. Gosh! That guy really gets on my nerves.
However the question of how he knew what 'I' was, still burned in my mind.
Meanwhile
Sebastian and Ciel were also walking towards the rose garden. Ciel was wearing a long sleaved white shirt and a blue ribbon tied neatly in his collar, black trousers were paired with ankle boots and white socks that reached just below his knees.
'Sebastian, where is your blazer?'
' Just a little bit of change my lord' he grinned
'its weird' Ciel replied
' my prediction were right'
'ohh' Ciel said with interest.
'Bochan, please be careful around the young lady, she's a bakeneko and her misty honey scent means she's stronger than most,'
'A Bakeneko huh, a monster that has a form of a cat and can shape shift'
'Its also believed that when in cat form she can reanimate a dead person by simply pouncing on them'
'Interesting'
'Interesting you say, she can also bring you nightmares my lord, and that I fear the most,'
'you,... fear…' Ciel said with an intriguing tone
'nightmares given by a bakeneko can be so lethal it can lead to death, just ten minutes of it can make you loose your mind-'
' …..and can take my soul away'
'as expected of Bochan, you are well informed' Sebastian praised
'Wont it be funny if she took my soul away before you do' Ciel Grimaced
Dead silence soon followed.
'Bochan' Sebastian exhaled as he lingered his fingers in Ciel's chin. With burning and lighten eyes he said 'You are mine, I would never allow anyone to lay a hand on you,'
Ciel's face was in a deep trance; Sebastian eyes gave a sense of yearning and rage.
As Ciel recovered he snapped Sebastian's hands away and took a deep breath.
'I got it' he muttered. 'tch, lets hurry'.
The two walk down the stairs quietly.
As we came closer to the stairs, we saw Sebastian. Oh Great. However he was not alone. A dark-grey haired boy with a black eye patch walked in front of him, as we face each other our resemblance couldn't be denied. I put a hand over my right eye and stared at the lad intently.
The only thing, different about us is our hair. And maybe some other parts, but in any case. So that's what I look like flat chested. Arrr.. I shook the thought out of my mind and focus at his expressions. He was in a daze.
' Miss Elise Meilure Yedlefield, I'm Ciel Phantomhive it's a pleasure to meet you' He said sweetly.
He walked towards me and lifted his left hand. As I raise my right hand he gently took it and kiss the back of my palm. There was something about his eyes that made me shiver. It held too much sadness although it looked empty it was filled with – with-. My thoughts suddenly became cloudy and my head started to throb heavily. Without my control I pushed Ciel away.
I screamed and screamed until I felt my lungs gasp for air. I saw May-rene's face in horror, Ciel, Sebastian all of them gobsmacked. After that everything went black.
