Chapter 9: You are officially a Phantomhive maid
Inside one of the guest rooms (^V^)
Jay P.O.V
"No" I said with my arms crossed glaring at what Sebastian held in front of me "I am not wearing that" I said stubbornly, a vein mark popped on Sebastian's head. He had actually tried to convince me into wearing that for at least thirty minutes with no success.
Can't you just wear it?
No, It's not my style Nora
I think it looks lovely
But I don't Marie, besides it's my decision
*Sigh* Very well, you can have it your way
But, you're in 1888 what you're wearing is way too revealing for this era
I guess… But I'm never going to wear a corset!
Ugh those things are horrible
Agreed
Sebastian sighed "Miss Vierra I know this is not what you are used to wear but you can't wear something like that you are wearing now it is highly inappropriate besides you will join the young master tomorrow to go shopping so you can get more clothes your size so for this time being you will just have to bear with wearing this" he said.
I looked at the dress; it was clearly a maid uniform though it seemed to cover legs more than what those from the 21st does. I sighed, "Fine I'll wear it" I said, Sebastian smiled "But" I said with a pause to get his full attention "I'm not going to wear a corset" I said, took the dress carefully out of his hands
"I will leave you change now Miss-" Sebastian said but I cut him off before he could finish "Jay… It's just Jay… no Miss Vierra no Miss Jaycee or Miss Jay… just… Jay" I said, Sebastian smiled a closed eyes smile "Very well Jay" he said and went out of the room. The next 15 minutes were used to try and get that blasted dress on.
When I finally got the dress on I looked in the full-body mirror that was hung up on the wall. It looked pretty good on me, but still…
I'm probably not going to like the clothes of this era, am I?
Nope, you are going to dislike them very strongly
I think I'm going to like it here
Just shut up Marie
I sighed, brushed some dust off the dress and walked up to the door and opened carefully while Marie and Nora continued to fight with each other. Sebastian looked at me as I walked out of the door, he opened his mouth to say something "I guess Ciel wants to talk to me, right?" I said before he could say anything
"Yes, now if you would please follow me" he said and started to walked down the hall, I quickly followed after him.
No one's P.O.V Ciel's study room (^V^)
Ciel yawned slightly with his in front of his mouth, his thoughts wandered back to the strange girl "Jaycee Annabelle Vierra" he said recalling the name of the girl. There were many reasons for Ciel to think of her a weird; for the first, she fell out of his mirror screaming. For the second, she claimed to come from another time
"2012… the 21st century" he said to himself. Indeed she had said that she came from the year 2012 and not only that but she also claimed to be coming from a city named…. New York? Ciel shook his head. No, he wasn't concerned about how weird she was or were she came from, no what he was concerned about was; would she make a good pawn or not? Would she be of any use? Would she survive to the end of this game? And finally, would she show herself to be more than just a pawn? Just as Ciel thought of this someone knocked on the door
"Come in" he said, the door was opened and Sebastian and Jaycee entered the study room.
Jaycee P.O.V
"Please sit down" Ciel said and pointed to a chair that faced towards his desk. While I walked towards the chair and sat down Sebastian walked up to Ciel and stood by his side like a shadow. "I have a few questions to ask you" Ciel said not with curiosity in his voice but something that said that he wanted answers and he would not be very patient to get these answers. "Ask away" I said "For the first" he said with a slight pause "How did you get here?"
Oh boy, this is going to take a looooooong time for sure
You don't say
Well you better start explaining dear
Yeah Yeah Yeah, I'll start explaining now
"Well…" I said think over what to say and I figured out to begin with the mirrors "my mom had bought this weird mirror in an antique shop and put it in a little storeroom we have and one time not so long ago me and my two best friends went in that storeroom to get out something and then they saw the mirror and pointed out that they also had mirrors just like that mirror" I said and took a little break
"What was so weird about this mirror?" Ciel asked, "It didn't reflect anything and the glass was all black" I said thinking over it "and at times the glass would make water like movements like waves" I said, Ciel seemed to get just more and more interested for he had dropped the whole 'I'm pretty bored' face
"Well anyway we kinda silently watched the mirror at first but then you and Sebastian showed up in the mirror" I said and took a break to look at their expressions, Sebastian looked amused and interested while Ciel looked like the more he knew the wanted to know… I have no idea how I could tell that.
"We didn't speak much of what happened until lunch time when Arachne one of my best friends said absently that she wondered what the mirror really was and I said that I wondered if her and Exie's mirrors did the same thing and Arachne said well more like she was thinking out loud that maybe they are portals to other worlds and Exie my other best friends being as she always is said that she bet that the mirrors actually are portals to other worlds" I took a break in the explanation again
"And they turned out to be that... portals to another world" I said and sighed. "But how did get here?" Ciel asked. "Oh that's right I didn't answer that! He he" I said, Ciel sweatdropped.
"Well what happened was that I Exie and Arachne touched our mirrors at the same time and what happened then was that the mirror or something dragged us into the mirrors at an amazing speed and Exie and Arachne probably ended up somewhere else but that's what happened and the mirror or whatever it was continued to drag me faster and faster until I fell out of your mirror" I said finally done with explaining
"Just one more thing" Ciel said.
I hope I don't have to explain anything more…
"Since you have no choice but to stay here you might as well be of use," he said smirking slightly "I want you to be my maid while staying here and you will get paid too don't worry" he said
"Sure" I said and shrugged "I don't mind… A place to stay and job… sounds good to me," I said with a soft smile "Good" Ciel said "Sebastian go introduce her to the others" he said "Yes, my lord" Sebastian said with a bow, he then walked up to where I sat and held out his hand which I took and stood up from my chair.
Sebastian and I walked down the hall when a red-haired maid with big round glasses came running with a tea tray in her hands.
"Sebastian!" she yelled "I've the young master's tea!" she yelled and just as she said the last word she stumbled in her own feet and the tea tray flew out of her hands and up in the loose air, the maid looked up in shock just as I caught the tray with my right hand the teapot with my left hand and the tea cup landed on the back side of my shoe on my outstretched right foot. It was silent for a moment
"Sebastian would you mind taking the tea cup off of my foot it has tea in it and I don't want to spill anything" I said "Of course" Sebastian said, grabbed the tea cup and placed on the tray. The maid got up from the floor just as I placed the teapot on the tray "H-how did you do that?" She asked pushing her glasses upward "The only one that I've seen do that before is Sebastian" She said
"Oh I used to work at café and there was one of the other girls working there that did like you did multiple times" I said and gave her the tray "I guess it has become kind of a reflex" I said with a bright smile "I'm Jaycee by the way but you can call me Jay" I said
"I-I'm Meyrin i-it is nice to meet you" she said "Are you from America?" she asked me "Well yes but I'll be working here from now on so I guess we're colleagues" I said happily "You're a new maid? Well that wonderful! Yes it is!" She said nodding in agreement with herself "Oh! Some advise Meyrin," I said pausing to get her full attention
"Huh?" she said a little confused "Don't run when you are carrying something fast walking is okay but not running especially inside" I said, looked down at her shoes and then up to her face again "And tying your laces is a good idea too" I said in friendly tone so I didn't sound like a smartass.
"We really should get going now Jay" Sebastian said, I turned my head back to him "Oh yeah so I can meet the others right?" I asked "Yes" Sebastian answered simply and walked past me "It was nice to meet you but I have to go now see you later Meyrin!" I said and walked quickly up to Sebastian and followed after him. "That was very good what you did there" he said "I guess but it's what I said it's kind of a reflex" I said.
After some more walking Sebastian opened a door that led to a kitchen and inside that kitchen was a tall pretty muscular dirty blonde man with short beard a cigar in his mouth wearing a cook uniform and goggles hanging from his neck, but there was something that shocked me and that was that he was holding a flamethrower, and he was about to use it on the meat.
"Baldroy I suggest that you do not use that flamethrower" Sebastian said, Bardoy looked towards me and Sebastian "Oh come on Sebastian I'm the chef after all" he said, I sweatdropped "Huh? Who are you?" Bardoy asked once he saw me "I'm Jaycee but you can call me Jay I'm a new maid here" I said smiling
"A new maid that's good I'm Baldroy but you can call me Bard I'm the chef" He said and smiled a huge smile "Are you from America Bard?" I asked, "Yea I am" he answered, "Cool! I'm American too!" I said and laughed a little
"That's awesome" Bard said I looked at his flamethrower that he had now slung over his shoulder and laughed again "Huh? Did I do something funny?" Bard asked confused "No no no" I said shaking my head, "I just remembered something really funny and really stupid my uncle Richard did one time" I said recalling what had happened
"What did he do?" Bard asked "Well… He was holding his flamethrower just like you're doing right now and he was talking with aunt Sara who is his wife and…" I said and took a break to laugh some more, not a lot but some "And he managed to pull the trigger and set fire to his hair" I said, Bard looked at the flamethrower and slowly put it down on the kitchen bench which made me laugh more.
It actually isn't so bad here, lots of cool and friendly people
Yeah… the people here are pretty cool
I wonder if there are any more people here
Me too…
Suddenly a young strawberry blonde male with a straw-hat hanging around his neck came running in "SEBASTIAN!" he shouted, I noticed he was crying too
"what happened Finny?" Bard asked the strawberry blonde "I-I was just picking an apple because I was a little hungry and t-then the tree broke and it knocked over another tree!" Finny said and then started to bawl, my eyes widened
He… Broke a tree… and the tree knocked over… another tree…. What the… what the hell!
I don't even know what to say…
Thank God…
What?
Nothing! I said nothing! Nothing at all! Nothing important! Nothing rude! I swear!
When Sebastian finally got Finny too calm down Sebastian introduced me to him "Finnian this Jaycee she will be working as our second maid from today on" Sebastian said "Hi! it's true what Sebastian said but you can feel free to call me Jay" I said with a bright smile
"It is nice to meet you Jay! I'm Finnian but you can call me Finny!" Finny said smiling in return "Well Jay it seems you are officially a Phantomhive maid" Sebastian said with a smirk.
