Chapter 2: Offer
Coletta felt completely helpless under the young master's examining eyes and the occasional intense glaring from Sebastian. She squirmed a bit while sinking a little lower in the abnormally large chair. Leaning his hand on his fist, Ciel sighed.
"Are you sure you don't remember anything?" Ciel confirmed, tapping his finger on his desk frustrated. Coletta nodded with taking quick uneasy glances at Sebastian occasionally.
"Coletta, correct?"
"Yes…that is correct."
"And your last name would be…?"
"I…I don't have one."
Ciel stared dumbfounded at the girl. He motioned Sebastian to come over with a wave of his hand. Sebastian leaned down to his master's level.
"Yes Bocchan?"
"Can you get information on her from absolutely nothing?" Ciel asked hopefully. Sebastian chuckled a bit and stepped back. Ciel looked at him confused and turned back to Coletta.
"You can leave, you must be tired. Take today to rest and please try to remember at least something," Ciel said, a tone of annoyance in his voice and Coletta excused herself from the room.
"She's lying through her teeth," Sebastian muttered loud enough for Ciel to hear. As Ciel turned around to face the extraordinary butler, he noticed the small smirk on Sebastian's face but he also noted the slight venomous tone in his voice.
"Care to explain?" Ciel asked and a smile returned on Sebastian's face. His eyes stayed still on the door, not looking at his Bocchan.
"I'll go prepare something to eat," Sebastian said, completely ignoring Ciel.
"Sebastian! I asked you a question!" Ciel pouted and his hand clenched into a fist on his desk.
"Mm…..I wonder what I should make," Sebastian spoke to himself while closing the door, leaving his master highly irritated.
OoOoOoOoOoO
"And where do you think your going?" Coletta jumped at the sudden question. She looked back to see an annoyed Sebastian.
"I just wanted to take a walk…" Coletta started playing with her fingers and Sebastian rolled his eyes.
"Walk to where? If you want to walk in the garden there's not much to see so stay." He past her and closed the front door. He turned around and crossed his arms. "I'm making lunch and it'll be done at 12:00."
"Mr. Sebastian…" Coletta stammered without turning around to face Sebastian, "Do we know each other from somewhere?"
"I don't know, do we?" Sebastian answered tonelessly.
"COLETTA!" Finny ran over to Coletta, grabbing her hand. "I found you, I found you! Let's me show you around!"
"Finny, Miss. Coletta was just going back to her room for a rest." Sebastian explained and lightly put his hands in her shoulders.
"Aw…" Finny looked down disappointed. "But Sebastian, it'll only take a little while. Since she's gonna be staying here for awhile…?" Sebastian's eyes narrowed.
"Ah!" Coletta voice squeaked, "I'm not staying , I-I don't want to be a burden." Finny tilted his head.
"Where are you going to stay. Do you have family in London?" Finny asked, looking at her confused. Coletta hesitated then slowly gave a nod.
"Finny," Sebastian cut in, "don't you have garden work to tend to? Don't you think when Coletta walks through the garden she'll want to actually see flowers, not weeds?"
"Fine…" Finny sighed deeply but turned back to Coletta happily, "See ya!" Finny skipped away.
"Pity that boy has no brain," Coletta looked at him, "He totally forgot what condition we found you in."
"Sebastian…please let me leave." Coletta gave a slight bow.
"Excuse me?" I'm sorry but I don't believe Bocchan would like you to leave so suddenly. After all, you are pretty much his responsibility since we found you in an abused state on his property."
"But um…"
"Sebastian, there you are!" Ciel stormed down the hall. "Where is my lunch? I can't believe you would make me wait so long!"
"I'm sorry Bocchan," Sebastian said while putting a hand on his heart while bowing. Ciel put his nose in the air and huffed angrily. "Bocchan, I'll make it right now." Sebastian walked off, but not without taking a glance at Coletta.
"Ah Coletta, I was actually just about to your room too but seeing you're here…I actually have something to ask." Ciel walked closer to her, "Seeing as you have nowhere else to go…would you care to work for me?"
"Eh?" Coletta tilted her head and smiled sadly. "I'm sorry, I couldn't. It's too nice an offer for a girl like me."
"I'm not taking no for an answer."
"Then I guess I have no choice…"
"Great, I'll have Sebastian get you settled," Ciel smiled and Coletta followed him back to his office.
A/N: Finally, updated! I wish it were longer but I just wanted to update so you guys know I'm not giving up on the story (when I'll update again I'm not positive lol). I really just want to try to capture the characters' personality. I find trying to capture Ciel is pretty difficult *sweat drop* but other than that I hoped you enjoyed this chapter!
