Hello. How are you today? Can't wait to see what you think. I don't own Black Butler.
"What do you mean you didn't kill it!? Do you know how deadly that thing is!? It's going to kill us all now!" I was beyond livid at this point. How dare they think that everything was okay when I had fallen off a cliff! I mean, really.
"Well, we can just find it again right? I mean it's not like we don't know what it looks like. You've seen it right? Can't we just scour the land till we find tracks of this beast?" Alois looked pale.
"Actually, it can change shape so anything I know about it is immediately invalid. The only thing I know about it that is concrete is that it will kill any one and anything. It doesn't hesitate, doesn't discriminate and won't clean up the crime scenes. I've seen what it can do and it's not pretty. My brother was with me and he has a stomach of steel and he almost threw up. That is how horrific they are."
"No offense or anything but that doesn't give us a good picture. We've never met your brother so we can't really now if he does have a stomach of steel or if you are just making this up." All matter of factually Claude stood there, an almost invisible smirk on his face.
"Why don't I smack you and see if that dumb little smirk you're wearing is a cover or if that thing is your real face? I feel sorry for you if it was. It's just so disagreeable."
His face contorted with rage. Now it was my turn to smirk. Claude stood there for a few more moments. When it became obvious that I wouldn't back down anytime soon, he stormed out. I knew he was gone when I heard the front door slam. That's when I started laughing. In the middle of my laughing fit Sebastian walked in with the tea.
"Where is Claude? Did something happen?" Sebastian asked innocently. Though his act seemed to fool Ceil and Alois, it didn't fool me. I knew he was pleased with Claude being gone.
"The lady here insulted him and he stormed off. Which reminds me, what is your name miss?" Ceil cocked his head to the side, making him look very adorable.
"Oh yes. I haven't told you my name yet. How rude of me. My name is Lady Skylar Violetbell. I am very pleased to meet your acquaintance." I smiled allowing my dimples to show through.
Both teens blushed and looked away. Meanwhile, Sebastian calmly set up the tea set and the pastry he had chosen to accompany it. The way he arranged it, you could just tell that he had been a butler for some time now.
"Today we have a lemon and ginger tea, ask requested by Lady Skylar. For its accompaniment, we have lemon tarts to complement the lemon taste of the tea."
"Thank you, Mr. Sebastian. I'm positive it will taste splendid." I sipped at my tea and was spot on with my prediction. The tea was delicious and had an amazing scent. The lemon tart was a little sour, but the dough balanced it out with its neutral taste.
"Anything else you want to tell us?" Alois questioned, while gulping down his tea.
"Nothing else really." I shrugged and continued to eat my tart. The others looked at each other, probably with an exasperated look. "Oh that's right. Where will I be staying?"
Ceil spoke up. "You'll stay here of course. We have everything you could need here."
"Thank you Earl." I set my cup down and stretched. "I'm going to change, so if you could please vacate the room." Ceil and Alois instantly got up and left the room. Sebastian cleaned up the tea set and bowed before leaving the room.
Finally alone, I walked over to the closet. I opened it to find a rainbow of dresses in side. Short, long, princess poof, bright colours, dark colours and metallic ones. I blinked as my eyes took in the site before me. Once they had, I began leafing through the dresses trying to decide which one to wear today.
After about ten minutes of looking I finally chose a dress. It was above the knee, a little bit of poof, and a black and silver colour scheme. The dress had full length sleeves, the ends of the sleeves silver. The bottom of the dress a slightly more metallic silver along with the neckline. Around the waist was a dulled silver giving a weird effect that I loved. The rest of the dress was an inky black. A chocker went around the neck, a black piece of lace with a diamond resting on it.
I grabbed it and went to the attached bathroom. I did what was necessary and got dressed. I went back to the closet and decided on a pair of silver kitten heels with a skull in the middle of a flower made of black lace over to the side of the shoes. I carried them over to the bed and put them on. I grabbed the silver hair brush I brought out and began brushing my black, waist-length hair.
When it was thoroughly brushed and no tangles where in there, I did my hair up into a French braid. I gave myself one last look in the full length mirror that was on the back of the door. I deemed myself presentable and walked out. I immediately looked for the energy given off by Ceil and Alois. I found them in the drawing room. I leisurely started walking toward them, taking my time with looking at all the beautiful artwork Ceil had put up.
Different scenes, different artists, different eras. All depicted right here in the halls of the Phantomhive manor. Every so often, table would be pushed against the wall and an arrangement of flowers lay inside a crystal vase.
I continued my walk towards the drawing room when I ran into someone. We both fell to the ground.
"I'm so sorry. I should have been watching where I was going. My names Lady Skylar. What's your name?" I stood up and held out my hand to the boy in front of me.
"I'm Finnian miss. I'm the young master's gardener." He took my hand and I pulled him up. "I guess I'll see you later." With that he ran off, leaving me to wonder how many servants Ceil had.
So, thoughts, comments, anything? I'll be eagerly waiting for your responses. Till next time.
