"What do you think your doing Finny?" A voice called making a boy look away from the horse that he was brushing. A raven-haired man stood with his hand on his forehead his red/brown eyes looking at the strawberry-blonde boy. The boy turned around fully so his body faced the butler his turquoise eye wide as he dropped the brush to the ground.
"M-Mister Sebastian! I was-" Finny started but the horse behind him nickered and drew his attention as the sound of another horse came trotting over, making them look up at the light blonde haired man as he dismounted and smiled at the two.
"Morning Finny, Mister Sebastian. Is something wrong?" The man asked as he took hold of the brown mares rains. Sebastian looked at him and then sighed.
"Ryan, what parietal where you doing? Did you know that young Finny was doing your job?" Sebastian asked his voice showing the anger and frustration that his face hid behind an eerie smile.
"I was just working the horse out cant allow a Phantomhive horse to be weak or go lame can we? And Finny I told you I would brush him when I got back." Ryan said shaking his head looking at Finny.
"Very well then, Next time Finny do as he says thanks to this your behind on the brush trimming and weeding." Sebastian said as he turned on his heel and walked back inside the mansion.
"Thanks for coming when you did Ryan you saved me a bad scolding from Mister Sebastian." Finny said as he smiled at Ryan and then with a slight nod walked to the garden.
Smiling Ryan took both horses by their rains and leads them towards the barn only to hear three girls laugh as they looked at the roses in the garden. He looked over seeing the blonde hair of Lady Lizzy and the brown hair of her servant Paula but the other women was taller and he did not recognize her. After the horses where away he walked over and smiled seeing the girls still looking at the flowers.
"Lady Elizabeth, Miss Paula welcome, here to see the young master?" Ryan asked making Lizzy turn around and nods with a smile. Paula smiled and looked at the other girl who shared her brown hair but had amber colored eyes. The girl smiled and dipped her head at him and then looked at the roses again her cheeks blushing slightly.
"Hello Mr. Ryan, Oh where are my manors this is Pearl she is Paula's sister we brought her along to meet Ciel." Lizzy said catching his eye as he looked at Pearl. Paula smiled and nodded
"Milady shall we go see the young earl now?" Paula asked with a smile as Pearl looked up and then towards the mansion.
"Young Master was in the library milady Elizabeth he should still be there." Ryan said with a smile and bowed and went back to his work as the ladies walked into the mansion.
After about an hour Pearl walked back outside and sat on the steps of the mansions deck watching the staff work outside and enjoying the feel of the air around her. Suddenly a hand fell on her shoulder and awoke her from her daydreaming making her turn to see the head butler of the Phantomhive estate stand looking down at her with his dark red/brown eyes.
"Miss Pearl Ashbel I assume? I have been told you will be working here and wanted to show you around." The tall raven-haired butler said earning a blank stare from Pearl as her cheeks flushed slightly. She then stood and bowed to him smiling as she looked up at him slightly.
"Yes I am she, and that would be very kind of you if you would not mind. Umm-" Pearl said trying to think of what his name would be then smiled her cheeks flushing a darker pink "Mr. Sebastian Michaelis right?" She asked tilting her head slightly as he nodded.
"Yes that's right, now Miss please follow me and try to keep up." He said as he started walking making Pearl run to catch up at first. She smiled walking beside the man who was slightly taller then herself.
After walking though the land outside the mansion they walked though the garden heading back to the house but a angry growl made Pearl stop and look around a growl escaping form her own lips. Sebastian had walked ahead but stopped and turned looking behind him to see Pearl having a stare off with something.
"Miss is something the matter?" he asked as he walked back to her and saw she was staring at the big white hound that wondered the outside. Sighing he looked at the hound then back to Pearl.
"Oh my I should have warned you about him. Pearl that's Pluto the hound the young master likes to keep around." he said with a disgusted voice making Pearl whip her head to face him her eyes a blood red. Pearl looked back to Pluto as he growled at her making her hair stand on end as her anger grew.
"Sebastian could you promise not to tell Ciel about what's about to happen please?" Pearl asked not taking her eyes off of Pluto.
"It is not wise to allow this but I shall not tell anyone." Sebastian said as he glanced over his shoulder fast catching a glance of Ciel then looking back at them and stepping back just as Pluto leapt at Pearl and ended up pining a big brown/tan wolf with light brown bangs covering her right eye and smoky grey leg socks, back stripe and tail stripe.
Pearl growled and kicked Pluto in the belly making him yelp slightly and jump off her still growling. She stood and snarled at him in this form she was only slightly shorter then him and was not willing to lose to a house pet. Pluto flicked his ears back and growled lashing his tail as he opened his jaws and fire came flying out at her. Pearl smiled and let her tongue hang out as she shock her body making her pelt shimmer and as the flames hit her they just clung to her pelt and she sat down with a huff.
Pluto looked at her confused his head sideways as he walked around Pearl. Pearl sighed and stood and soon the flames went out and she just looked at Pluto who had backed off now and was looking at her scared. She gave a wolf grin and walked over to him and nuzzled him to show she held no hard feelings about him attacking her.
"Pearl I think that's enough now he learnt his lesson." Ciel said as he walked over with Sebastian beside him. Pearl changed back to her human form and looked at him and saw the scowl on his face. She glanced at Sebastian and saw a small grin on his face making her smile.
"Hey he attacked me first I had to defend my self. Stupid dog challenging a wolf." she joked as she crossed her arms in front of her as the wind blew the trim of her red and black dress. Ciel looked at her still angry and with out another word he turned and walked back inside leaving Sebastian behind.
"What's got him in such a foul mood?" She asked with a smile as she places a hand on her hip.
