I woke up to the same harsh treatment as last time, of a huge pot being banged to wake up Mey-rin, but the thing I said this time was quite different.
"I didn't do it!" I screamed as I put my arms in the air for surrender.
That was what woke up Mey-rin, and Sebastian just looked at me confused.
"Dreaming might I guess?"
I got out of bed groggily, " I don't remember."
He then left and gave us girls a chance to get dressed I took this as a sign that I didn't have to wear a corset. I was happy till I saw a rat crawl across my feet! I screamed and ran into a wall, the door opened and revealed Bard.
"What is it?" He asked grabbing my shoulders.
"There was a rat on my feet." I said, still feeling grossed out by it.
He looked around my room as I got the rest of my outfit on.
"I don't see nothin, should be safe." He scratched the back of his head.
"Okay thanks." I smiled.
We then went down to get our chores from Sebastian, who told us our respective duties and we soon got to work. Only to be interrupted by rats. Again. Bard was looking up through the ceiling on a ladder when he sighed.
"They got us... Guess they really like wires. Dang rats."
"Rats again?" Mey-rin asked.
"There've been a lot this year." Commented Finny.
Bard started coming down, "I've heard there's been a plague of these freaks in London. They couldn't have come by foot all the way here. They're constantly causing power outages, it's bad for business."
Finny gasped as he saw a rat run behind Bard, I quickly moved out of the way knowing what was coming.
Finny yelled, "RAT SIGHTED!" As he picked the statue and threw it down scaring the living daylights out of Mey-rin and Bard.
"It got away~!" He stuck his tongue out as if that was normal.
Bard then yelled, "Don't give me your 'tee hee'! You almost killed me too!" He then calmed down, "Anyway, its useless to challenge them head-on! You gotta use this!"
All of the other three servants looked confused as they pointed to their heads, "This?" They all questioned.
I was just watching off to the side as Bard gave his little speech.
"Use your brains a little and read the enemy's movement. Just charging in isn't a fair fight. We need a diversion! So here's the plan by mass-producing this, those guys will have some digestion problems. Hunger on the battlefield is the worst. We'll use this! Entitled 'chef Bard's home cooking straight-forward' tactic! This is the work of a professional."
That seemed to energize the other two servants as Tanaka just grabbed a net and the others just made more of a mess that Sebastian or me would have to clean up later. I let them have their fun though, they then started chasing around the rats and I just leaned against the wall watching them. I wish I could have been in that room though, I can't wait to meet Madame Red officially she was always one of my favorite characters in this. I tuned them out till Sebastian came down the hall.
"What are all of you doing?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed.
Bard decided to answer him even though he was in that weird get-up, "'What' you say... We've decided to capture the rats!"
"Aha is that is?" He sounded like he still didn't get it, neither did I since there way of doing it was... different.
"Sebastian!" Said Ciel as he was walking down the hall.
"Young Master."
"Tonight, escort duke Randall by carriage to his mansion. Will you take care of the carriage? Leave tonight's plans open." Oh that had double meaning.
Sebastian smirked, "Understood. Then when I finish the preparations for the carriage. I will bring up some afternoon tea to your room. I have prepared apple and raisin dip pie for today's snack. I will bring it to you when it's baked, so please wait just a bit."
"Okay." Ciel said simply, he turned to start walking down the hall again.
I quickly followed behind him, he looked at me as if to ask why.
"Would you like to hear the paper read out loud?" He gave me a bored look, "It would make it easier to comprehend." I offered with a smile.
He handed me the papers he was holding without a word and I started reading letting my mind wander else where. We soon entered the room and Ciel said his line quite sarcastically.
"How can this house's servants always be so peaceful?"
I was about to reply when some one hit me in the back, which hurt I would rather be drugged like Ciel! As I fell to the ground I saw the person holding Ciel.
When I came back to I heard the man speaking and saw Ciel already a little beaten, dangit that was my reason for coming!
"The backside of England's public, 'the order'. Traitors will be bitten to death by our power. By the queens watchdogs. I have come to take over the dirtied part of the government that has spanned many generations. The evil royal family. How many street names have they been burdened with, and how many families have been crushed? Who wouldn't thought that the president of the world's best toy factory is just a boy? Right? Ciel Phantomhive. Looks can be deceiving. Well its oddly understandable that the king of a toy palace is a child."
Ciel then spoke up, "It really was you Ferro family Azzurro Vener."
Then that man decided to act all arrogant, "You know little Phantomhive, the Italian mafia finds this country bothersome. It's really a pain. All of the English and their tea stained heads! Think about it. What's the most beneficial market for people like us? It's not cleaning up, carrying things, nor women, nor spare parts. It's drugs ya know?" Eww he is gross, "Even so when we came to this country, thanks to the successful glares of the watchdogs, we haven't been able to catch a single relaxing scent."
Ciel finally spoke again, as I was watching waiting for my turn to intervene, "It was an order from the queen not to let the dealers do as they please with their drugs."
"Ah, come on don't be so stubborn. This is why I hate the English. The queen! The queen! That's all they ever talk about."
I then tuned him out, having heard enough, I got into the right position to where I would be able to block it perfectly. Ciel spoke again and I had been watching him most of the time, but he then said the line that was my cue.
"It would be nice if cute little puppies were able to 'fetch'" Oh Ciel why do you have to anger him so.
I looked to see the leg go back and I quickly got in front of it to be kicked in the mouth. Holy-! Wow that hurt! I have never felt real pain before! He left me lying on the floor and went back over to the phone.
"Didn't you hear me? Negotiations are over. KILL HIM!" He yelled into the phone.
It got pretty quiet after that and I thought I saw Ciel look over at me with a worried look, but I must have imagined it.
We waited for the confirmation that the butler was dead, but I couldn't wait for that part so they could start freaking out again. Too bad I will have to get beaten more.
Then it came through faster than expected, "You failed! You useless people! This is why you're worth less than crap! I'm through with you. Return at once!" Umm if you are done with them why do you want them to return?
It was quiet fro a second then a loud voice came through the phone, "WHAT THE HECK!"
He seemed to find this funny, "What's wrong? Did a bear show up or something?"
There was more yelling through the phone, "What's with you guys? Is it something you can't handle?!" There was a lot of more screaming, before the guy yelled at them again right before they let out their blood-curdling scream.
I felt myself smirk as I saw Ciel do the same, "H-hey...HEY WHAT'S WRONG!?"
Ciel then smiled at the man again, "It would appear that 'go fetch' has failed."
The man came at Ciel, but I blocked him again from hurting him, just in time to much too close for comfort. And holy Crap! This freaking hurts! I was already bleeding from my mouth and I now was cut in several other places.
"HEY! IF YOU DON'T ANSWER I'LL KILL YOU MANGRELS! HEY!"
It was then so quite in the room that you could hear a pen drop, we all heard the voice that come through.
"Hello?" I saw the color drain from the mans face, ooh this was fun, "Hello? I am a member of the Phantomhive household. I hope our master hasn't been troubling you." Ooh Sebastian you sadistic, "Hello? Is something the matter?"
"Woof."
"Understood right away. I'll come for you soon. So please wait a bit longer."
I then felt myself spit out blood. Eww gross! I just wanted to rest until Sebastian gets here, this is the worst pain that I have ever been through, call me spoiled but I don't care.
