Chapter 4
Catherine's POV
I was in a good deep sleep when a knocking sound was coming from the bedroom door that I was sleeping in. Maybe it was that man who brought me in here to rest last night. As I was sitting up, my shoulder walking in pain anymore and the wound was healed. Except for the scar that now took its place there. The knocking from the door sounded once again and even before I gave whoever it was on the other side the go ahead, the bedroom door just flew open bagging the wall behind it with a loud bang. In the doorway was a... Well, let's just say... A strange maid.
She gave me a wide, toothy grin and walked her way into my too, shutting the door behind her. What she was carrying in her arms was a pretty, poofy dark purple dress. It was a really amazing dress and I thought that it would go good with the color of my hair. Even the color black would too. She laid the dress on the end of the bed them looked up at me.
"Hello, I am Mey-Rin and you are…?" She said, still giving me a grin.
I just stayed quiet, not wanting to talk to her. I didn't want anyone to know my name. She might just send me away if she knew who I was. I sat there and stared at her.
She rubbed her face then gave a sigh. "Well alright. If you don't want to talk to me than I guess I can't make you. But Sebastian did tell me to help you bathe and get dressed." Mey-Rin gave a nod towards me then made her way into the on suit bathroom.
I climb out from under the bed blankets and reached for the dark purple dress. The dressed looked kind of too big for me to wear, but seeing as I haven't eaten in so long, I've lost weight. I really hope that the owner of this mansion will let me stay here and not send me away. I don't want to go back to that god awful lab and be a prisoner again. I've been in there for years and this is the first time in my life that I actually felt free. After a while Mey-Rin came back into the room.
"The bath is already for you miss." She gave a small bow and stood back, motioning towards the bathroom.
I slow climbed off the bed, automatically wrapping my arms around myself. I always did that when I was nervous or being embarrassed. I walked into the bathroom with the maid coming up behind me. I felt her hands on my shoulders, making me jump and moved away from her.
"Sorry miss, but I was just helping you undress." She said, moving over to me again, and grabbed ahold of my gown, pulling on it. "Now come on miss, Mr. Sebastian said to help you bathe. Let me undress you!"
I tired pulling away from her, but she just wouldn't let go. I was getting pissed so I grabbed onto Mey-Rin's shoulders and pushed her as hard as I could to get her away from me. She landed on her ass beside the bathtub. I backed away from her, running out of the bathroom and out of the bedroom.
"Wait! Miss!" I ignored that crazy ass maid and continued to run away from her. I was in the hallway now trying to find my way around this damn place. I had to find that butler guy. For some reason I felt safe being near that man and it really confused me. He's the only one that I would talk to. Going down the hall, I found a room that had the door cracked open. Maybe I could hid in here and wait for the butler to find me. I hear foot steps behind me and I'm freaking out now. It reminded me of guards from the lab. I run toward the door and slip inside, shutting the door behind me. I gave a heavy sigh, staring at the door and hear the foot steps go pass the door and down the hallway.
"Hey! Who the hell are you?" A voice said coming from behind me.
I jumped, turning around quickly. And there sitting behind a desk was a boy. The kid had short black hair, some kind of blue fancy suit kind of thing and also was wearing an eye patch. He looked angry as well. I stayed quiet though, wrapping my arms around me and looked down at the floor.
"Sebastian! Get in here!" The boy said. The door behind me opened. Looking behind me, there stood the butler guy... Sebastian.
Man he was good looking. I thought to myself. I didn't realize that I was staring at him until a smirk appeared on his face. I gave a blush and looked down at my feet. Sebastian laid a hand on my shoulder, giving it a tiny pat for reassurance. He walked around me and over to the boy at the desk standing beside him.
"Yes young master?" Sebastian asked.
"Who is this woman? And what in the world is she doing here?"
"Well young lord, I don't really know her name nor do I know her back story. But she didn't come to the manor last night looking for a safe place to go. Apparently though, she was running for a group of people." Sebastian said to the boy than glanced over at me smirking. The look on his face told me that he probably already knew about my past and who I was running from. But I just didn't know how he knew. Sebastian seemed strange to me, but was also very lovely.
"Well she stayed with us last night and no one came looking for her. So make her leave Sebastian. I don't need anymore people crowding mu mansion." The boy said sternly, looked at me with utter hate.
"But you see you he master, I can not do that." Sebastian said, looking down at the boy.
"And why the hell not?"
"Because of..." Sebastian looked at me than bent down to whisper into the boy's ear. The face on the boys face turned into a grimace expression then slightly relaxed. So I let both of them talk while I looked around the room which I saw that it was an office.
"Is that even possible?"
"..."
"How do you know for sure?"
"..."
"Have you... What do you mean you...? Will you tell...? Fine Sebastian, fine." The boy gave a heavy sigh and rubbed his hands over his face while. The boy stood up from his office chair, fixed his suit and walked over towards me. I back up alittle, looking over at Sebastian. He gave me a small smile to tell me that it was alright. Standing in front of me the boy held out his hand. I slowly grabbed ahold of it and shook it then pulled my hand back quickly.
"Ciel Phantomhive... I own this estate and the owner of the Funtom Company." He gave a cute little smile, and then asked. "What's your name?"
"C-Catherine O'Farrell... Lab Patient 943E. Age 18..." I tell him with a small, quiet voice and looked down at the floor embarrassly. Ciel gave me a shocking expression and backed up, while clinching his hands together. The look on his face looked like he knew me or something. If that was the case, then he didn't really say but just looked at me.
"Well than Lady Catherine, you are welcome to stay here, but you will work as a maid. If you don't mind the hard labor, that is. And you will help Sebastian with whatever he needs. All questions you might have, he will answer them honestly." He gave a bow then went back to sitting at his desk.
"Thank you young master."
"Please, call me Ciel."
"Are you sure that is alright for me to say? I don't want to offend you or anything." I tell him.
"It's quite alright Lady..." Ciel got cut off by the office door opening quickly. The door slammed right into me, making me fall on my ass. Ciel looked shocked and Sebastian looked pissed. I looked over at the door and there stood that crazy maid Mey-Rin.
"Mey-Rin! What on earth are you doing storming in here!?" Ciel yelled at her.
She jumped then bowed. "Sorry young master, but our guest ran away from me while I was helping her bathe and..." She looked over at me and ran towards me. "There you are Miss... Now come, I need to bathe you and get you cleaned up!"
"No! Don't touch me!" I shouted at her and it made her move away from me. That gave me a time to stand up, run my way over to Sebastian and to hide behind him. I felt his hand rub my back in comfort.
"What's going on?" Ciel asked Mey-Rin. She started rocking on her heels, rubbing her hand on her chin nervously.
"I'm just doing what Sebastian told me to do. He said to help our guest bath and get dressed. That's what I was trying to do, but she ran from me."
"I-I ran because you w-were being f-forceful. I do know h-how t-to undress and b-bathe myself." I told her from behind Sebastian. "I didn't need your help."
"But Miss..." She started but Sebastian raised his hand to stop her.
"It's alright Mey-Rin. You go do the rest of your chores and I'll help Lady Catherine with her dress." Sebastian told her then smiled at me whom made me blush bright read.
"But Mr. Sebastian you can't..."
"It's fine... I don't mind it." I tell her, but then blushed even more once it came out of my mouth. What the hell was that? I just met the guy and already I want him to see me naked.
"You may go now Mey-Rin." Ciel said to her, motioning her to leave the room.
Mey-Rin bowed then left the room, shutting the door behind her. I moved from behind Sebastian and stood in front of him. Looking up at him, I gave a small smile and he gave me one in return.
"I am really sorry about Mey-Rin, Lady Catherine. Please forgive her rudeness. I don't know why she does that. And not only her, but there are 3 other servant working for me." Ciel said, looking at some important papers while he talked. "We have the cook; Bardory, the gardener; Finny and then we have Tanaka... Ehh, he doesn't really do much, but he's a good sport. He and Sebastian are the only normal servants that I have. Well other than you now, but don't take offense to that Lady Catherine."
"Oh... No offense at all Ciel. And it would be an honor to work for you." I have a small smile and a bow.
"Do you need anything young master?" Sebastian asked him.
"Nothing for right now Sebastian, but please get Lady Catherine bathed and clean please. And also show her around the manor, so she'll know what room she might run into when she wants to hide next time." Ciel gave a chuckle. I blushed at that. So embarrassing.
"Yes young lord." Sebastian said, making his way over to the door and opened it for me. "Right this way Lady Catherine."
"It was a pleasure Ciel. Thank you for letting me stay here." I curtsied the best I could then walk out of the door and into the hall, waiting for Sebastian. Once he was beside me, he lead me down the hall and into my bedroom or the room where he put me last night to sleep.
"Sebastian, can I ask you something?" I asked while looking at him.
"You can ask me anything and I will answer."
"What were you whispering to Ciel about?" I asked him. "I mean, I could tell that it was about me."
Sebastian gave me a smile and wrapped his arm around my waist. "Now that Lady Catherine is a secret."
"But Ciel said that you would answer my questions honestly and you're not telling me what I want to know."
"Don't worry about what I and the young master were talking about. At the moment, it's not important. But I will say that it was about you and it wasn't anything bad. So don't you worry that pretty head of yours." Sebastian told me as we stood at my bedroom door now. He opened in and escorted me in, with him walking behind me. I sat on my bed as Sebastian walked into my bathroom. I guess he was checking on the bath water. After a while, I heard the tub faucet turn on so I knew now that the water that Mey-Rin fixed for me was starting to get cold. Minutes later, Sebastian came back into the room, with his shirt sleeves pulled up to his elbows.
"Your bath water is all ready for you again Lady Catherine. While you are in there bathing, I shall get your dress ready for you to wear." He told me as he grabbed the dark purple dress from the end of my bed.
I looked at him strangely. "If I'm working at a maid now, shouldn't I be wearing a maid uniform, like Mey-Rin? Also, shouldn't by bedroom be in the servant quarters?"
Sebastian gave a slight nod then he smiled at me. "That is true Lady Catherine, you would be wearing a maid uniform but I think you would look better in a normal dress. This color will just go good with your rosy-pink hair and creamy white skin." He brought his hand up and lightly ran his hand over my now blushed cheeks.
"T-Thank you Sebastian, that's really sweet for you to say." I said to him with a sweet smile.
"And this room seems to suit you. So why change rooms if you like this one?" He said moving his hand away from my face. He gave a bow and went to get my dress ready.
I was still blushing as I made my way into my bathroom. I pulled the dirty white gown from my body and the panties that I was wearing. I looked up and saw my refection in the bathroom mirror. I looked so tiny. My skin was so pale that I looked like a ghost and I could actually see my ribs and hip bone. Giving a sadden sigh, I climbed into the steaming hot bath water. It was the best bath that I have had in a really long time. Looking over to my right, it seemed that Sebastian laid out some soap and hair shampoo. I washed my body first, scrubbing every inch of my body. Once I thought I was satisfy, I took the shampoo and watched my hair. The more I washed my hair, the more that dirt surrounded my body in the water. I now had my bright hair color back to normal. I let out the now dirty bath water then refilled it with hot water, making it burn my skin. Once it was full once again, I sunk under the water and just relaxed until I was ready to come out.
