A boy stood in the clearing of the Phantomhive estate his hands clenched and his warm gentle brown eyes glowed with annoyance "Of all the places they had to send her! It had to be in the dragons den!" He growled running a hand through his long blonde curls.
"You must leave now"Spoke his boss, The boy cocked his head to the side his hair moving to the side to show a long jagged scar on his back that ran down his back half way on both sides, "Oh Daemon, Please let me see her!"He said coyly looking at the other man who didn't looked pleased " Forget this girl, You can have your wings back if you just forget about her."Daemon said watching as the other boy loose all of his charms.
"I don't care"He shouted throwing his arms up, "You can't take her from me to be tainted with such filth!" Daemon shook his head "Then forgive me brother."
I was finally outside Maylene was beside me helping me down the stairs, Apparently Sebastian told them to not leave me side, and of course they have been taking it to the whole other degree, I watched as Finian played with Pluto the 'dog', I shook my head the 'dog' wasn't a 'dog' at all but a demon hound that breathed fire.
He was mostly in the form of a very naked man, with long grey silver hair, red eyes and sharp teeth. Pluto hated me or was scared of me apparently only Sebastian was able to get the 'dog' to listen but all I had to do was narrow my eye at the mutt and it would run off, I sat down and watched Finian throw a tree for the larger form of the 'dog' to catch it.
"It is fun to watch them yes?"Asked Maylene who was watching Finan with me, I nodded but didn't say anything else "I will bring you your tea, yes."Said Maylene before walking off, I sighed at least my bruise was fading apparently my estimation on how long my bruise would last was actually shorter. I laid a hand on my temple, the doctor aka Sebastian told me that It was my main reason that I was falling so much.
I could have told me that! Tomarrow will be the first day that I will be outside as Neveah Phantomhive, Maylene came over to me, the tea cup balanced carefully on the saucer and then she tripped, I leaned over to grab the saucer only spilling a little, Maylene fell on her face and then sat up "Oh Lady Neveah I am so sorry shall I make you another, yes?"She asked Me I shook my head.
"This one is enough Maylene"I said with a sigh, She blush and walked away. It was dull being a sick person,the only who who was partly dull was Ciel who was now doing paper work, He owns the whole Funtom Company that makes toys and food, He also does odd jobs for the Queen of England. I took a sipp of the tea, it was tangy and sorta like strawberries, "Oi! Lady Neveah!"Shouted Finian I forced myself not to flinch at the 'lady' part..
Ciel leaned back in his chair that was turned to face the window that showed Neveah sitting in a chair talking with Finain who looked excited to be talking to her. Her hair was glaring off a brilliant red and it was up in a soft bun that Maylene had did apparently it was awkward for her to have Sebastian dress her, It was a very loud scream from Neveah the first day she had found out that Sebastian was going to help her dress.
Ciel smirked "Are you sure you want to do this Master?"Asked Sebastian looking at his young master, Ciel nodded "Of course I do Sebastain, She needs a home." Sebastain smirked as well as he poured the tea and added two cubes of sugar just how Ciel liked his tea "I want you to make her into a lady, I don't need her reaching for any falling tea cups"Ciel added.
"Yes my lord.."
Sebastian sat down at the table in front of me, He looked serious which made me squirm around "Here is your history"Sebastian said pushing a vanilla folder in front of her, Biting her lip she took the folder "No chewing on your lip"Sebastain said as he watched me look at the facts.
"You are Neveah Phantomhive, 17, You where in America for most of your life, You mother that is now deceased, You knew about your father Vincent Phantomhive but did not know of his passing untill this year. "Sebastian leaned back and crossed his legs as he continued to tell me all I needed to know.
"When you heard about the fire that killed both Vincent and Rachel, Ciels mother, You rushed over here concerned about him."I frowned " A year to late"I muttered "Yes, A year to late"He repeated I nodded pushing through the papers to find a birth certificate. I smiled and ran a hand down the paper, "I need to thank Ciel"I said as Sebastian nodded "He wishes to see you as well"He said but made no move to get up.
I bit my lip, Sebastian's eyes narrowed and I stopped "Is there anything else?"I asked him, He nodded I watched as he quickly swiped his hand and knocked the sugar over, I reached out and he slapped my hand "Ouch"I said pulling my sore hand away from him "You as a lady of the household, Never pick up or attempt to get anything that falls, That is a servants job."He said.
"What if there are no servants around?"I snapped Sebastian narrowed his eyes and seemed to rise to the challenge "I will always be around"He told me than he picked up a tea cup and dropped it on the floor, I closed my eyes and winced as it hit the ground but didn't move to pick it up "Good, Sit up straight and always keep eye contact"He said I did as he said.
I looked him right in the eyes, I felt a tug and my heart but I kept on looking him right in the eyes "Like this Sebastian?"I asked him, He didn't answer for a moment before he broke eye contact and stood "Yes, just not so harshly."He said I frowned "There is no other way"I said "Harsh or harsher" Sebastian chuckled.
I stood up and carefully bent down not caring about my dress getting wet and picked up the shards of the glass "You know these could be used in a mosaic"I said as he knelt down I guess I grabbed the glass too hard cause I felt the glass enter my skin but I didn't even fell the pain , I looked at my thumb and stared at the blood that was bubbling to the surface. Before I thought about it I placed the bleeding thumb in my mouth, Sebastian stared at me as I sucked on my thumb.
The metallic taste filled my mouth and I started to salivate more and then I licked up the wound, And I was amazed to watch it close up and leave a small scar, "Are you alright Lady Neveah?"Asked Baldroy his cigarette dangling from his mouth as he leaned on the door frame. I stood up brushing of my dress "Oh yes Mr. Baldroy"I said feeling my cheeks heat up on there own.
I didn't look at Sebastian for some reason I couldn't, "Bard please Lady Neveah"He said gruffly, I smiled "Than call me Neveah, I am nothing more than common clay"I told him, He nodded "Sure, Ciel is wondering what is taking so long."He told Sebastian I bowed my head and walked out of the room, I could hear boot's on the carpet "I am sure I can find my own way to Ciel's office, Bard"I told him, He smirked down at me "Nah, You are quiet a refreshing character here"He said I smiled.
Than it hit me "Your American?"I asked him, He nodded "Yes, I heard that you where living in America"He said I nodded carful to not stutter "I stayed around Louisiana" I said I knew that area, really well, was it because I live there? I came up empty in that search, "I was never in the south"Bard said I shrugged my shoulder only to get a tapp on both of them "A lady never shrug her shoulders."Sebastian said in my ear making me jump.
"Wear a bell!"I shouted turning around to look at the creepy grinning Butler, My eye started to twitch "That is not funny! I could have fallen!"I shouted Sebastian leaned back "I am sure Baldroy would have caught you.", Bard nodded "Of course"He assured me I rolled my eyes and did a perfect about turn by placing my foot behind my other and pivoting on the opposite foot.
My skirt flared out and hit the men on the ankles before I gracefully walked off, Hey I was getting good at this! I smiled as I tapped on Ciel's office door "Come in." I walked in and clasped my hands in front of me and held my head high "You wanted to see me Ciel?"I asked. He looked me over and then he saw the dark stains on my skirt "Your wet."He told me I nodded "A accident, It won't happen again"I stated directly taking Sebastian's advice and looking Ciel in the eye.
I walked over trying not to loose my balance that was now precariously on the edge "I see you are feeling better." I smiled "I see you're finally relaxing"I countered, Ciel smirked "At least you think so."He said I did a little dance in my mind I was amusing him.I sat down and brought my legs to cross on the side of my body and I place my hands in my lapp, My head was still high and my back was as straight as a board.
"I see Sebastian has been working on you."Ciel said I nodded "He has given me a few pointers"I said offhandedly "I was raised to be a Phantomhive lady"I joked Ciel's smirk widened, I heard Sebastian walk in with two cups filled with steamy tea, I frowned as I watched him place mine in front of me and then drop Ciel's onto the floor, Ciel clentched his jaw and his hands tightened on his arm rests.
"Well are you going to stand there like a bumbling bafooon, Pick up that shattered cup and blot that rug."I ordered Sebastian with a firm and harsh voice, "Yes, My lady"Sebastian said grinning as he bowed and started to pick up the mess, I kept my eyes on Ciel who seemed to be waiting for something... oh! "Forgive me, I would wish he would not be so incompetent, Hard to find good help these days."I stated Ciel covered his hand to muffled his chuckle.
I reached out for my cup when I got pinched on my leg, I kicked my leg out and caught Sebastian in the side, surprising the butler enough to pause his work, I took a sip of tea letting it scald my tongue at least I managed to feel that, " You have passed my test for tomorrow, Now I will ask that you do not get into to much detail about your stay in America" Ciel told me as Sebastian laid a tea cup down in front of him I smiled "of course, Is Lady Elizabeth going to be there?"I asked him.
He scowled "Yes, unfortunately she wishes to be by my side"He said I smiled "At least she wants too."I told him, Ciel seemed to pause before nodding "You will have to stay here when I go out when I am requested to solve a crime by the queen"He said my head snapped up "Why can I not go with you Ciel?"I asked him. "It is too dangerous for you to be with me"He answered, My hands that where primly folded in my lap clenched "I know how to fire a weapon, And I know how to take care of myself"I answered
Ciel frowned "We will see."He told me, I looked over to the window that held the sun setting "Lau seems to be taken with you."Ciel said I almost shrugged but stopped myself and actually said something "It would seem."I said.
For a few more hours it went on like that, Sebastian hitting my shoulders or tapping my chin when it would droop or pinching me when I would react to him dropping something, I wanted to strangle the butler. When I got out of there I practically raced to my room and yanked off the still wet dress and find the most lightest one in there, Everything had ruffles and bows!
"Ugh!"I said as I found a pink one that screamed to be put into the fire, in the far back I found the holy grail of dresses, Smirking I took the first one off of the hanger, It was a dark red and it had a pair of pants with it instead of the skirt that Sebastian had laid out for me, I tugged on the pants and went to pull on the dress shirt when I saw a black burr in the mirror, I walked backwards until I could see a butterfly on my back, It was harshly inked and it was in a tribal design.
I reached back and touched the ink, I took in a deep breath ' Forgive me father for I cannot see her tainted by such filth' I turned around bracing my body onto the vanity, I covered my mouth forcing back tears. I don't know what happen to me...Closing my eyes I calmed down enough to pull back from the vanity and yanked on the dress shirt and tucking the shirt that was sorta frilly with its buttons and frills into the pants, I pulled on the red vest and, Then I yanked on a pair of riding boots.
I pulled my hair out of the bun and swung my head around letting my curls fall into my face and down my back in long spirals in of dark red, I smiled at myself before leaving my room and going down into the kitchen where Bard was trying to make a pot of noodles, "Do you need any help?"I asked him, He jumped almost sending the boiling water into the air, He turned around "No!"He said " Cooking is like an art you know, What could you know of art."He scoffed
I grinned "Ah, you might want to add some oil"I said as I sat on the table, Bard scoffed and placed the oil in and then the noodles "So what is for dinner?"I asked him crossing my legs up on my knee and resting my elbow on my knee and then rested my chin on my hand, "What Sebastian wants...I think its fish."He said rubbing his neck, I shrugged half expecting Sebastian to hit my shoulders while repeating 'Ladies do not shrugg'
"We have a problem...Ah Lady Neveah!" exclaimed Maylene who came into the kitchen exasperated, my eyes widened "Yes Maylene?"I asked She seemed to shrink "I erm..Its nothing"She said my eyebrow rose as I watched her panic, I was very amused but whatever it was it couldn't wait because of Sebastian I hopped down from the table and I stretched "What is it really?"I asked with a grin.
"Pluto is loose!"She squeaked, "Alright lets get the hound"I said as I walked past Maylene, "Well?"I shouted down the hall, They ran to catch up with me. Pluto was running towards us at full blast, I narrowed my eyes at the human form of the hound and it dropped on the ground and let out a wine "Oh well that was easy"I said rubbing my neck not watching Pluto who launched himself at me.
I suddenly found myself beneath a naked man that was licking my face, I felt my cheeks heat up and then I pushed him off of me "Yuck! Get away Pluto!"I yelled as the Hound went to launch himself again, I broke into a run as pluto chased me "Help!"I yelled as everyone tried to distract the 'dog'. Suddenly I found myself knocking into a soild warm object and hitting the ground with Pluto on top of me "Oh my forbidden love!"I heard Maylene said as I looked into crimson/brown eyes.
"Nuah!"Pluto said hugging onto me and Sebastian making me press up against the butler, This up close I noticed that Sebastian was perfect, His skin had no blemishes at all and he smelled like nothing I have every smelled, It wasn't bad but very good. I growled as I placed my hands on either side of Sebastian's head which made my face get closer to his "Such a odd position yes?"I asked him copying Maylene, I winked as I braced my self before I used my legs to pull Pluto off of us "Pluto get away!"I growled and the 'dog' wimppered and went away.
I rolled off of Sebastian and sat up, I looked over the yard and my mouth popped open there was scorch marks on the ground, Trees and bushes where pulled up, and there was tracks from my riding boots and Pluto, Also there was tons of gardening tools everywhere. Maylene stood there her nose bleeding, Bards Cigarette was bent and not even lit anymore, Finian was comforting Pluto. Sebastian sat up and sighed "Idiots"He muttered under his breath and then stood up in one smooth move, He held out his hand and I took it, I felt a surge of power and I looked up at him, He did not looked please.
"I leave you three alone for a few minutes and you ruin Master Ciels estate."He shook his head I bit my lip and got hit on the arm "Yeah yeah ladies don't bite there lips."I hissed rolling my eyes thankful that I was wearing pants when Pluto tackled me into him, "Sorry Sebastian!"Said the three as the ducked there heads "I am sorry too, Pluto was after me.."I said looking down. "Come dinner is ready" He stated to me, I frowned I should have at least gotten reprimanded.
I fallowed Sebastian into the house as the others picked up the yard, I walked beside him and then I paused "Oh!"I jumped and ran into the kitchen where the noodles was now a fire "Sebastian!"I yelled as I grabbed some water and splashed it on the flames that was making me hot in my clothes. I looked around for anything else "God damn it, Sebastian!"I yelled as I yanked off the table cloth and started to beat the fire down, Suddenly I was yanked away and the fire was out and I was pressed into someone's chest.
I grasped hold of his vest and tried to catch my breath, He placed a hand on my back "Thank you Sebastian"I said looking up at him, He was annoyed I could tell, I turned my head and saw the stove that was now ruin, my stomach sank "Sorry, I should have remembered the stove"I whispered looking at his tie that was perfectly set. "Its normal"Sebastian said "Tomarrow I will just have to buy a new stove"He said, I nodded pulling away from Sebastian and walking out of the door and into the room where Ciel and I had tea.
"Your late"Ciel said I looked up and nodded "Problems"I said as I sat down at the table no so graceful this time but at the moment I could care less, Ciel's eyebrow rose but he made no attempts to make me explain "Why are you wearing pants?"He asked I looked up "Cause I want to"I said as Sebastian came in with the cart of food, My stomach growl and I was thankful for a good meal.
Sebastian sat on the roof staring at the moon, He could have let Neveah burn...He didn't, Sebastian frowned She was more trouble to him than his master.
Neveah soul was too pure...He slid into her room.
Her red hair was fanned out around her and she seemed to be having a bad dream, When she turned around Sebastian saw what had made Ciel stare, It wasn't a normal tattoo.
Sebastian's hand clenched as his other reached out to trace the butterfly ' Forgive me father but I cannot see her tainted by such filth', a last prayer etched into her skin. This mark explain a lot and also complicated things more, Neveah moaned "Gabriel" and turned on her back her eyebrow knitted and she seemed to be in a deep nightmare "No...accident...hurting..." Neveah mumbled
Sebastian went to leave the room "Murder..." With one last look Sebastain left her room in search for Ciel who was have his usual fitful dreams as well.
