Chapter 4
It was 7:30 in the morning and Jenny was asleep comfortably in her bed. She was to comfortable to look up when she hear the click of the door which meant it was opened. Light steps could be heard echoing along the floor.
Jenny laid still motionless, her mind was still asleep so she could not react in anyway.
"Good morning mistress." A gentle voice could be heard. Probably she was just getting pranked by some one in the house. She never heard of this voice before but it felt a little like she did.
"Go away!" She shouted and wrapped herself deeper into the covers.
The curtains were slidded open letting the light inside of the room, "It's a beautiful morning mistress." It seemed like her exclaim was ignored. "Its time to get up, you have busy day." The covers were tugged off her.
Jenny sat up in her bed and looked at who was disturbing her sleep. It was a butler, he was handsome, mid twenties and about six feet tall. She took the cup of morning tea of the cart before her. The aroma of the tea was over whelming just like the taste. The butler handed her the london times new paper and she began reading ignoring him like he was just a invisible shadow.
"You do not seem to be frightened mistress." No response, "Even though you have no idea who i am."
'Sebastian...' Jenny thought. She didn't know where she got the name from, some where deep from the back of her mind she guessed.
"That is correct." He replied, seeming like he read her mind. "Your memories seem to be all in place, but it seems like the memories of your past life are still there."
"The humble life with aunt and uncle. Forgotten and not loved." She murmured as she placed the empty cup and the new paper back onto the cart. She looked up at the butler, Sebastian, with her one visible eye.
The man chuckled as he looked down at her, "Almost identical." He spoke in a amused voice.
"To what or who?" She screeched through her teeth, she disliked to be compared to what ever or who ever.
"To my master." He replied, "He is currently with your aunt and uncle in 1947, you swapped places. Not for long though, so there is not reason to worry young mistress. Yourself and my master are so a like, easy to mistake for twins."
"Shut up demon! You know well enough i hate been compared to a mutt that i dont know of." She hissed at him. Her memories of the current life became more and more clear. She knew who was her demonic butler, what happened to her parents, why she was so isolated.
Sebastian reached for the string that held the eye patch tight on Jenny's head. He pulled the string and the peace of fabric fell down on to Jenny's lap.
She blinked and looked around. Both eyes. She could see both eyes. The right eye socket was no more empty. Both perfectly seeing. "Huh?" She wondered.
"You're past has been changed, both of your eyes are still there." Sebastian explained.
A smile gleamed on Jenny's face, grinning a true smile. It was always her wish, to see the world with both of her eyes and it came true, in this life anyway.
"What a pity, the scars are still there. It seems they shall never be erased." Sebastian spoke as he brushed Jenny's locks of hair away from her face. "What a pain it must be, never forgotten it will be. I am so sorry."
"No need to be." Jenny snapped as she pushed away Sebastian's hand. "And stop calling me mistress, i hate it how it sounds. Call me lady Jennifer." She commanded him.
"As you wish my lady." He bowed before her.
Jenny huffed, "Lay out my clothes and get back to your duties." She ordered him.
Just like Jenny said, Sebastian laid out her clothes and left. But just before he walked out of the room he turned back, "No assistance needed my lady?" he wondered with a smirk on his face.
Jenny went bright red in her face, "I can dress myself you damn demon! After all I have been dressing myself for the past damn 12 years!" She shouted at him. Well at least in the life that has been taken over by her butlers real master.
Jenny quickly dressed herself in a long dark blue dress which was covered in black lace. It was about knee high. She was wearing black stockings and black glossy high heels. She turned towards the mirror that was put in the corner of the room and had a sheet covering it. She pulled the sheet of the mirror and looked at her own reflecting. Her skin was flawless and her dress sat on her perfectly. She looked at her eyes. One ocean blue the other velvet with a pentagram decorating it. It was no surprise to her. She tied her hair into two piggy tail with black ribbons. Jenny took a deep sigh and turned towards the door.
Jenny was sat in her study room behind the desk. She was watching the clock arrows move while Sebastian, her butler, was clearing away the book that were frown onto the floor by Jenny.
"Tell me something Sebastian..." She mumbled in a slightly dreamy voice.
"Tell you what my dear lady." Sebastian looked up at his mistress.
"You said that I and 'Ciel' are almost identical what about our lives, are they almost identical." She wondered.
"That is correct my lady." Sebastian replied as he stepped forwards towards the desk that Jenny was sat behind.
"Lier, lier, pants on fire." Jenny sang gently as she gave an unamused expression as a reply to Sebastian.
Sebastian raised a brow, "You know well enough that i never lie, lady Jennifer."
"I do not have anyone like you in my life. I have a maid but not as loyal as you, nor is she nothing more than a human being."
He knew that this innocent and confused child was wrong, and that is why he wanted to put her mind straight. "Tell me lady Jennifer, how did you loose your parents?"
Jenny sighed and began her painful story, "The night before my father set off to the front line in the second world war against the nazi's the german soldiers broke into the house murdered both of my parents."
"What happened after?" Sebastian carried on with his little investigation.
"I was tortured by the soldiers, they wanted to know about the further plans of the war. I was a smart child and i asked my father a lot about the war, he told me everything. Then i was saved and i was with my aunt and uncle. And at the same time appeared Stella, the maid."
"Your mother died on the day you were saved my lady." He declared with a grimace on his face.
Jenny held her head in her hands, eyes shut, no caring any longer, "I dont give a damn about what you say, i loose my family what ever i do. I doesn't bother me no more."
"Your mother a summoned a servant that promised to save your life in exchange of hers. You should be oh so very thankful to your mother." Sebastian lifted Jenny's chin and smiled down at her, "Not everything is so lost."
And this is where things get interesting, next chapter will be in a day of Ciel's life. I guess you already know how the chapter will go.
