The next morning, Charna woke because the sun had hit her face and had blinded her through her eyelids. She sat up and looked at her surroundings. The first thing she had noticed was the smokey smell of earl grey tea. It reminded her of when she was a young girl and her father used to make a big pot for the family...before he went missing and no one knew where he had gone.
The childhood thoughts made her sad because after her father was gone her mother became depressed and started self harming herself. It was all very quick when her mother died. Or it was for Charna... She had just got home from school and she saw her mother there dead, collapsed in a mess on the floor, the blood splattered everywhere, but that was not the worst part. The worst part was that this triggered the demon inside of her causing her to eat her own mothers soul against her will. She remembered it feeling like some one was forcing her and she couldn't stop eating once she had started, forcing her to listen to the piercing screams of the mother she loved right until the end of her life.
Remembering the horrific past that belonged to her made her cry rivers of silver glittering tears in memory of her mother. But she had to work towards the future, not dwell on her past so she composed herself and pored a cup of the smoke smelling tea and continued scanning the room.
It was only then that she realized that she had no idea where she was. She took a moment to recall the previous night when she remembered how she met that kind
Boy Ciel and how he had taken her back to his manor to live with him.
She smiled as the memories of his English voice telling her that he was going to take her back to his manor replayed through her mind.
Charna slipped out of the bed sheets and got dressed into a long black maids uniform with a white pinafore and made her way out of her room to try and find Ciel to yet again thank him for his graciousness, but was paying very little attention to where she was going and walked into a small girl who was carrying a pile of plates.
"I am so sorry miss let me get those for you" Charna said as she caught all of the 40 plates as they were falling to the floor so quickly that her arms were a blur.
"I am so very sorry miss, it's just I am very far sighted. Have we met before, what's your name?" The maid Charna had walked into asked.
"My name is Charna could you direct me to Ciels room please, I wanted to thank him"
"Well my name is Mey-rin, and the young masters room is just down that corridor on the right. I better be quick or mr Sebastian will get very angry at me" then mey-rin waddled off carrying all 40 of the plates.
Charna made her way down the corridor and knocked on the door to the right. Ciels soft voice replied with a "come in"
Charna walked in to see Ciel sat writing a letter and a tall man pouring a cup of tea. They both looked up at Charna, Ciel then smiled at her and said
"good morning, did you have a peaceful night" but Charna was too busy paying attention to the other man whose jaw was dropped and tears spilled down his cheek. At that moment he ran over to her and hugged her tightly against his chest and whispered softly in her ear
"Charna I am so sorry I left, I have missed you so much. So how's life been treating you" at this Charna couldn't keep herself from crying any longer and just said
"It's been hell without you"
