It had been two weeks since it happened. Edward had left after my parents arrived back. I wanted to tell them. I wanted to tell someone, anyone really. Anyone who was willing to listen that I was female.
I could have told my Mother. I know that, now. I really could have, she would've listened, and maybe even tried to help me. Of course, there was nothing that could be done about it.
The authorities couldn't be told. Why would they be? According to everyone, Edward never raped a girl. He was innocent, and a scholar in his prestigious school, as well.
After a while of dressing myself, bathing myself, and doing everything on my own, my Mother and Father decided I was at the age to get a butler of my own. So, they were looking to hire one, and swear to secrecy. Of course, I was sure that the butler wouldn't know what he was getting into until my clothing was removed.
"Mother, have you found the certain butler you were looking for, yet?" I asked my Mother one day. I didn't know if I wanted a butler yet. I could take care of myself, so I really didn't need the help. Though, I would love to have someone who would really treat me who I was.
My Mother did sometimes, though she was always scolded by my Father that whenever he was around-which was most of the time-she wouldn't dare address me as anything except for a male, her son, and that wounded me.
"We were going to speak with a nice young man. He's nineteen and seems to be a responsible young man. Of course, he does come with a family, though your Father and I don't mind. He only has two infant children and a girlfriend. His girlfriend is free to become a housemaid if she wishes as well." my Mother explained to me.
"It would be nice to have another female in the house.." I trailed off. I felt like I had made a mistake, considering my Father was near.
"Yes, your Mother could use another female. I bet she's very lonely." my Father did chuckle at his statement. He watched my Mother who smiled softly.
"Darling, you know that you're all the company I need. You and Ciel." she said. I walked excused myself, walking to my room to read a book or two.
"Sweetheart, I'm going to speak with a few people. They're looking for a butler to care for their son, so I'm going to see if they'll hire me." I told Cecilia. The love of my life.
"Alright, Darling." Cecilia said, feeding both the children. She had Lucy on the right breast, and Leonard on the left.
"They said if you wanted, you could become a housemaid." I told her.
"I'll think about it." Cecilia said before beginning to hum. I chuckled before leaving to the Phantomhive residence. It was a wonderful estate, looking so full of life, and very well distinguished.
It made me feel like a low life just to be near the manor, though they were the low lives to me. I was the one who had the upper hand here, no other way.
"Sebastian Michaelis, it's a pleasure to meet you," a man greeted me. He looked kind enough, though seemed as though he could be a hot-head at times. "I understand that you're interested in becoming my son's butler."
"Yes, sir. Thank you for choosing to interview me. I understand it's quite an honor." I thanked.
"It's no trouble. Though, I do only look for the best in my son. After all, he's my only child and the only one I will ever be able to have." The Phantomhive told me.
"Is there some problem that your wife has?" I asked. I know I may have been becoming too personal, though I felt like I needed to know. Somehow, I felt like it was important to me.
"After my son's birth, my wife and I were told she could never have another child. The birth was too hard on her body, such a small delicate thing." he told me. I nodded in slight understanding. I was suddenly thankful I had my two children.
"I understand that you have a family. You know that your lover will be offered a job as well, it is up to her if she is to accept or refuse. Her choice does not depend on her living here with you. Your two children will be given a separate room from you and your lover, for privacy reasons." he chuckled.
"Yes, sir." I said, not wanting to pass this chance up.
"Then congratulations, Sebastian. My name is Vincent Phantomhive, though you are to address me as Master. Since you'll be caring for my son, you should probably meet him. Rachel, please." my Master told his wife.
She had been standing by the whole time. She was quick to nod and walk to get her son. I smiled softly, I was grateful I would be able to provide better for my children and Cecilia now.
Lady Phantomhive brought down a boy who was probably around twelve or thirteen. Of course, he looked different than any other boy I had ever seen. He was beautiful as well. Something I never thought about a boy.
I wasn't attracted to men, so something had to be different.
I was told this boy was Ciel Phantomhive. I was to call him Young Master. He was beautiful, almost like a girl. His eyelashes were long and seemed to be a bit curly. It reminded me of how Cecilia would curl her eyelashes in the morning. of course, no boy would do that.
He had fair skin and his eyes were a beautiful rich midnight blue. I had never seen that color except for on clothes before. That, and on the ring that my Master was wearing.
The Young Master's clothes looked different as well. They looked...altered to be the way they were. Something was fishy about this family, and I intended to find out.
"I am Sebastian Michaelis. It is an honor to be caring for you, Young Master." I said. He didn't look happy when I called him that.
"You probably already know who I am." he told me. I nodded, with that he left the room.
My Master sighed. "That boy will be getting a punishment tonight to be reminded of his manners." he said. Lady Phantomhive looked a bit frightened, though I wasn't sure why.
"When do I start?" I asked.
"Monday is when you are active in duty. You'll need to get your clothing and sentimental items with you. Everything else is given." Lord Phantomhive told me. I gave a nod, and excused myself.
I was reading a novel that I had taken from my Mother's collection. It was very good so far, I wanted to finish it. Of course, I was interrupted. Though, instead of it being my Father, dragging on about some lessons I was skipping, it was my Mother.
"Mother, is something the matter?" I asked. I was confused.
"No, Darling, nothing's the matter. Your new butler is here and your Father wanted you to meet him." Mother told me.
"Of course Father wants me to meet him. Does he know about..?" I asked. I was sure that she knew what I was talking about, since she answered.
"No, darling. He doesn't." she said. I nodded slightly.
If my parents didn't want him to know until he started working, then I would oblige. I walked down with my Mother. When I saw him, I was shocked. Edward's attractiveness held nothing to this man's.
He had slightly long black hair. His skin was fair, his eyes, a beautiful flaming red. A grin that made me want to melt. I bit my lip softly, though when my Mother flashed a glance in my direction, I was quick to stop.
"I am Sebastian Michaelis. It is an honor to be caring for you, Young Master." he said. I wasn't happy at all when he said that. Didn't I even look like a girl to people?
Wouldn't they notice my looks too feminine, my voice to high pitched? No cock in between my legs? It made me angry, and suddenly, I didn't care about him being attractive anymore.
"You probably know who I am." I said. I made my voice higher than it was. He nodded. I didn't think that he noticed the change, though my Father certainly did. I then left the room.
I heard my Father from the stairs.
"That boy will be getting a punishment to be reminded of his manners." Of course, I knew that he wasn't angry about my manners. I didn't think he could care less. He cared that my voice sounded girly. He didn't want his 'son' to be girly.
Whatcha think, guys? I tried making Sebastian's longer again, but in the end I made two Ciel's! Ugh, I'm terrible! review! :)
