Yay! New Chapter already cause I wanted to get this done cause I LOVE the next part I'll post sometime next week! Bye!
Was Lord Phantomhive crossed with me? Yes. Yes he was. He didn't fire me so that was fine. But he would refuse to speak with me, I didn't really want to speak with him either but when he assigned the servants, every but Sebastian to do a job. He left me out of it. Mey-rin told me what they had to do. Apparently Lord Phantomhive bought a camera. It was the last camera of the great William Henry Fox Talbot, he was an English scientist and he was the one who also invented the photographic technology. Rumours about the last camera he used spread like wildfire after he passed away. The rumour that was spread around stated that if you took a picture of someone with this camera,whoever. Or whatever he loves the most will appear in the picture with him. The only thing is, the camera only shows loved ones or things are otherworldly beings. So the dead would be one but an angel or a demon could very well appear in a photo. Apparently Lord Phantomhive took a picture of Finny to see if it worked and it showed Finny's bird from when he was a test subject. I remember when he told his past life story, it was sad but I guess he didn't mind sharing. The job they were given was simple. Take a picture of Sebastian but don't let him know. There was also another rule. Don't let me help. So instead I sat in my office listing to the others plan as the walked down the hall.
"Oliver…..Okay? You seem…..it today." Iren asked me and I rolled my eyes.
"Iren can you stop with the fading out voices now? I am not in love so there is no reason for you to fade in and out." I said and Mara folded his arms as he sat down on the bed.
"Just…..you won't….that you're…..love….doesn't….it's….not there." He said as I rolled my eyes and heard a loud crash. Peering out the window from my office. I noticed Finny on the ground laying there with a pool table next to him. My eyes went wide as I pulled the window open.
"Finny! Are you okay?!" I called out and opened the window all the way before jumping out and running to him. I started to feel his body for broken bones but he was fine.
"Finny are you mad? You could have really hurt yourself!" I say and help him stand up.
"It was all I could think about was the distract Sebastin while we got the picture…" He said dizzily like and I rolled my eyes.
"At least let me help." I said and he shook his head.
"No! I can't! The young Master said you weren't allowed to help!" He said and before I could protest he waved goodbye and ran to go try again to take another picture of Sebastian. I watched him run off as I felt a smirk form on my face.
"Mara." I said and he appeared in front of me.
"Does Sebastian have a weakness? Something he'll stop anything he's doing to take a few moments and do?" I asked and Mara thought for a moment.
"Well….is one…." He said and I nodded and he came closer and whispered in my ear even though he clearly didn't need to. Walking over to the stable, I grabbed a horse and climbed on and rode into London.
…
No one's POV
Ciel Phantomhive watched from the window of his office as he saw Oliver ride a horse down the path and outside the land towards London. Turning around he tried to pretend he didn't really care where he was going when that was of course I lie. Turning around he sat back into his desk just in time when Sebastian knocked on his door to deliver some food. Giving the food to Ciel, he wondered what was taking the three servants so long with the task he had given them when Sebastian asked him what was the matter he passed it off and just told him he would take dinner in his office.
…
Oliver's POV
I smirked as I watched Sebastian sit down with the cat I found in London and started to pet its belly and pushes it's paws as it meowed happily. I had set the camera far enough away so he wouldn't see me but close enough to get a good picture.
"Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten." I mumbled to myself as I placed the cap back on the camera and turned on my heel with the camera under my arm and making a break for the mansion. When I entered,I put the camera back where I found it and went to the bathroom and turned on a red light to develop the photo. Taking the photo out after it had set I smiled.
"Mara. Look. You're in the photo." I said and I feel him peer over my shoulder.
"He….Forgotten me." He says and I smile.
…
The next morning.
I gulped hard as I made my way down what seemed to be the longer halls the usual. With the photo of Sebastian in my pocket, I made my way to Lord Phantomhive's office. Not because I was to show him the photo. But because he called me there. Maybe he finally decided to fire me? I thought as I got closer. My feet slowing down even more.
I don't want to be fired. I thought as I clenched my fists tightly. Of course I refuse to be in love with the Master but that still doesn't mean I don't want to see him. Even if he hates me, I just want to see him. I thought as I finally stood outside his door. Gulping again, I reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in." I heard and placed my hand on the door, turned the knob and entered. Lord Phantomhive was sitting there reading some papers with Sebastian standing at his side as he placed a piece of cake on his desk and some tea.
"You wanted to speak with me Master?" I asked and closed the door behind me, Lord Phantomhive's head looked up and he gestured for me to stand in front of his desk and i did. I felt my heart beat fast and Lord Phantomhive moved the cake to the side slowly and opened his draw and I was sure he was going to pull out a slip about my termination. But instead. He pulled out a photo.
"I want you to explain something to me Oliver." he said and I nodded. His long arm stretched out and he placed a photo upside down on the desk.
"Explain this photograph" He says and pulls his hand back as my stretches forward. taking the photograph in my hands, I flip it over and look at it. The first thing my eye settles on is Lord Phantomhive asleep in his office chair.
"I believe it's a picture of you asleep My Lord." I say and he scowls.
"The full photograph." He says and I glance across it. Sebastian is standing on his left with a smirk on his face as he looks down at Lord Phantomhive...and then on his right...I stand there was a smile on my face looking at the camera.
"I don't believe I have had the pleasure of taking a picture with you My Lord." I say and Lord Phantomhive stands up.
"No you haven't. The picture was taken last night by Sebastian with the camera I let the other servant use yesterday. you know very well what the camera does since Mey-rin explained to you. Yes?" He asks and I nod. Before pausing for a moment. Sebastian is in the photograph when he took the picture.
"The camera takes a picture of otherworldly beings. So the dead or a demon. It explains why Sebastian is in the photo but not you Oliver." He says and slams his fists down on the table.
"Care to explain why you are?" I stare at his hands as I find it really hard to breath all of a sudden.
Mara…..Iren. Is this because of you two? I ask and they appear behind Lord Phantomhive.
"I'm sorry thought. We….we explained….you. Since we are in….your mind and soul….have forced….your soul….something…...isn't human." Iren says looking upset and I put the photograph down but don't look at Lord Phantomhive. Just then I hear a click and turn around to see Sebastian has locked the door and is standing there blocking it. I gulp hard and open my mouth….then close it as I try to find the right words.
Letting out a small breath, I find what I need to say.
"I-I can't tell you My Lord." I tell him and he scowls at me.
"Oliver. I order you right now to tell me why you are in this photograph and what are you!" He demands with such fury in his voice, gulping again I clench and unclench my hands several time. Just as I was about to repeat what I said before. I feel my body go stiff for a moment….when it relaxes…..I'm not into control.
"Please Lord Phantomhive! don't yell! It's only going to make it worse!" My mouth says but the voice that comes out isn't mine…..it's Iren's. Lord Phantomhive looks shocked as he takes a step back.
"who are you?!" He demands and Iren places my hands over my heart before bowing.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to startle you! My name is Iren, Lord Phantomhive!" She says and Lord Phantomhive clenches his hands.
"You've been lying to me? You're name isn't Oliver?" He asks and my body goes stiff again.
"Well Oliver has been lying but Iren isn't the one you want to talk to. My apologies. She doesn't enjoy being yelled at." Mara's voice echo's from my mouth and he turns around
"Sebastian. It's good to see you again." He says and Sebastian smiles.
"It's good to hear from you Mara." He says with a genuine smile on his face but when Mara turns back to Lord Phantomhive. He looks pissed.
"Let me speak to Oliver." He demanded and I got stiff once more this time I feel in control….but my legs don't seem to want me to be as I collapse to my knees. I slowly feel tears stream down my face.
"I...I can't hide it. I can't hide it any more….." I sob as I push my hands into my face.
"Oliver Henderson. Who and what are you?" Lord Phantomhive demands and I let out a sob as I wipe away a tear.
"My name is Oliver Renderson."
