Ciel's Pov
As I boarded the carriage and proceeded to Elizabeth's estate just to receive a person, I sighed, placing my knuckles on my forehead as I lean onto the glass window, feeling a headache arousing and wondering why on earth I agreed to Elizabeth's request on accepting another person in the Phantomhive's estate.
-Flashback-
I was looking through papers and documents of some past cases I solved boredly until a knock was heard on the door.
"Come in."
The door creaked open, revealing my butler, Sebastian Michaelis.
"Young master, Mr Chlaus is arriving at 6 o'clock sharp tomorrow. Your schedule today is cancelled as you wished. What would you like to have for afternoon tea today?"
Just then, the telephone rang. I boredly picked it up and placed it at my ear, speaking into the speaker with a monotone voice.
"This is the Phantohive Estate. How can I help you?"
Loud, piercing squeals attacked my ear drums as I quickly pulled the telephone as far away from my ear as possible. The one and only person I can remember vividly, squealing in such a high-pitch voice belongs to : Elizabeth Milford, my... Fiancee.
I felt a sweat drop about to roll off my forehead as she kept blabbering about how... cute I am. That is unacceptable! How can I, Ciel Phantomhive, the Queen's watchdog be cute?
While I was struggling on telling Elizabeth to stop her nonsense, Sebastian stood by my side, an amused smirk tugging the corner of his lips, making me twitch at both my eye and mouth.
I ignored him first, getting back to Elizabeth by clearing my throat loudly.
"AHEM! Elizabeth, what business do you have with me now? I am very busy at the moment. If it's not important, call me later. If you excuse me..."
Just as I was about to end the call I heard Elizabeth screech into the phone, and that almost made my ear bleed.
"Oh my cute Ciel, call me Lizzy! And this is super duper important! Hear me out for awhile. It will take less than you can say... Erm... Chocolate cake!" Lizzy called out.
"Chocolate cake. There. I said it and you haven't even start telling me what is the very important thing, Lizzy."
"Oh, you have such a sense of humor!-"
Are you kidding me? A sense of humor? O-kay...
"Anyways, I want you to... How do I put it? Erm... Let's see..."
I waited impatiently for her to answer and while waiting, I told Sebastian that I wanted a snack, a snack that has something to do with chocolate.
"Yes, young master. I'll prepare it for you right away and brew some red tea as well together with the dessert. Will it be fine?"
I nodded my head slightly and he went off. The twitching at my eye twitched even faster now, and my patient level was running low for Elizabeth.
"I want you to... Accept another person into the Phantomhive's estate! Pretty please? I promise she wouldn't cause you any trouble. She is willing to work too! She can accompany Maylene in doing chores or, or she can be your caretaker as well! Oh please please please please please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? My mother doesn't want her here because I already have a personal servant. Please, please, plea-"
"ALRIGHT! Just stop all that 'pleasing' already!"
"Yay! You are the best Ciel! You can just drop by at my place tomorrow. What ti-"
"I'll come at twelve in the afternoon sharp tomorrow."
"Okay! I'll be waiting for you, bye!"
Before I can return the greeting, Elizabeth hanged up her call, making me shake my head in disapproval. Why get so excited when I'm just going there to receive a person?
-End of Flashback-
Ahh... So I agreed to her request because she kept repeating the 'please' to irritate me. To make me do rash decisions unknowingly. Smart.
As Sebastian entered the carriage with me, he passed me my cane and I kept it at my side.
No point arguing with Lizzy now anyway. It's not that I regretted my actions. Might as well accept it and get over it.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
When I reached Elizabeth's estate, I waited for Sebastian to open the carriage door and I walked down the carriage stairs provided for me. N... Not that I'm actually short!
Before I enter the estate, Sebastian walked forward, giving the huge door a knock before pushing it open.
Standing before both of us was Elizabeth, her servant, Paula and a girl who is... Smashing her head on a hand bag?
I think that she is just plain weird. Plus I think her dressing is forced onto her by Lizzy. I pity her for that point.
I couldn't help but raise my brow at the mysterious person and at the corner of my eye, I saw Sebastian doing the same.
Because she kept repeating the same routine of slamming the bag onto her face, I could not actually see her features.
Lizzy eyes immediately sparkle when her eyes layed onto me. She hugged me like a rag doll, squealing like I was her newly bought toy and started to grab both my hands, spinning me crazily before letting go of me. She giggled to herself while I sat on the ground, too giddy to stand up and look around while Sebastian quickly helped me up on my feet.
"Lady Elizabeth, it's a pleasure to meet you again." Sebastian said with a bow.
"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you again too Sebastian!" Lizzy chirped as she grabbed both sides of her puffy dress and did a little bow as well.
"Oh! That girl over there is Christabel! She is great and cute! Isn't she pretty now? I dolled her up myself! She will be the one you will be receiving Please be nice to her? She is so nice and cute!" Lizzy said as she point her fingers at that girl.
See? I knew that the girl over there was forced into that dress.
"Please reassure Lady Elizabeth, that I will take good care of her and train her accordingly to what my master would be assigning to."
Lizzy nodded with her eyes closed, her mouth hung a sweet grin.
Paula sweat dropped beside the girl as she showed an unsure smile to that girl. That girl stopped suddenly, with her bag still stuck to her face.
I can see Paula whispering something to that person and that person slowly pulled down her bag so that it does not cover her eyes. Her eyebrows were knitted close together as she took glimpse of me and Sebastian.
I rose my brow once more, placing one of my hand on the other while the cane supported the pressure I'm giving it.
Why do I have to invite such a person into my estate? She does not look like she has anything special about her and she might be a lunatic if I saw her at the streets.
"M... M... My name is Christabel... Christabel Defille. You can c... Call me Chris. Th... Thank you for accepting me into your house! I will... Erm... Do my best there I guess? Hehe..." She said, her face still covered with her weird bag.
Ahh... So that person is called Christabel Defille.
"Your name's Christabel, right?" I asked boredly, wanting to get out of this place as soon as I can in case Lizzy might... Play dress-up on me too.
She nodded hysterically, making me inwardly sigh.
"Hurry up. I am very busy today." I spoke as I started to walk towards the door with Sebastian following behind. When I reached to the carriage door, I turned around to see that she is stalking slowly down the stairs.
"Oh! O...kay, I'm coming!" She yelled out loud enough for me and Sebastian to hear as she almost reach the carriage door with Paula and Elizabeth throttling behind.
As Sebastian open the carriage door for me to enter, I entered and sat at the other side of the door while Christabel bid both the other girls a goodbye. After which, Sebastian bowed to Lizzy once more before he escorted Christabel into the carriage.
"Lady Elizabeth, it is time for us to get going. We will be having a guest this evening and we are actually behind time."
"Alright. Goodbye all of you! Take care Chrissy! Ciel~ Do visit me again sometime okay? I'll miss you!" Lizzy bellowed as the carriage started to move and pick up speed.
Now, it's just the three of us. Me, Sebastian and Christabel. And a carriage driver of course.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Christabel's Pov
As I continued to slam my bag against my face, I heard Lizzy squealing like she saw an idol of her's and out of curiosity, I peeped.
I saw her spinning a person in her hands and when the person fell on the ground because Elizabeth let go of his hands, I could get a better view of him.
There sat was a little boy. He wore clothes like a nobleman and he even have a cane with him. You know, the type where you use it to walk? Pfft... He looks young though, like maybe at least 10 years old. His hair looks silky and the colour of it looks beautiful. A little greenish blue colour to me. His eyes were the dark blue colour of the sky at night, just maybe it is a little lighter than the sky's dullness.
A man lifted that boy up to his feet, and he was clad in a... Butler's suit?
Humm... That boy must be rich. He has a god damn butler! Only rich people have butlers. I remember that just a few days ago, I met my classmate and she always has a butler by her side. She is so rich and her house is about 10 times bigger than mine!
The butler have long raven hair, not long as in for the girls but long in the guys category. His eyes were dark ruby red in colour which scares me a little. How can a person have red eyes? Well, I have not rights to judge people anyway. Whatever.
He looks very professional and charming. One word to describe him: Hot!
So, I am going to work... With a little boy? Who is younger than me? He looks gullible and innocent though. Maybe he is not strict? I think so. Maybe I can sneak out and try to find my way back home if he calls me to buy something for him! That's right! Me and my brilliant ideas! I love myself!
As the butler spoke to Lizzy, I continued to slam my bag on my face. How can I be soo disgraceful looking to a cute child and a hot guy? Gurh! I shouldn't have agreed to Elizabeth's words. I am going to become a servant. A maid and she dolled me up like this? It's not like I'm going to a wedding! I can feel the stares at me, making me blush crazily. Paula gave me a nudge on the shoulder, leaning towards me and whispering to me anxiously though her expression stayed cool and calm.
"Christabel, quickly introduce yourself to your new young master! Before he gets angry! Though he is a very nice boy."
"Alright..." I whispered back.
I pulled down my bag a little so that it wouldn't cover my eyes but would still cover my face as I knew that when I blush real hard, it would take some time before it evaporates away from my face.
"M... M... My name is Christabel... Christabel Defille. You can c... Call me Chris. Th... Thank you for accepting me into your house! I will... Erm... Do my best there I guess? Hehe..." I managed to mutter out these words.
Damn it! Stupid girl, why are you stammering? Darn... I must have sounded like an idiot in front of them. Agruh! I wanna die right here, on this very spot!
The little boy sighed, before he said, "Your name's Christabel right?"
He sounded as if he was dying out of boredom.
I nodded like a chicken peaking on the ground and he added, "Hurry up. I am very busy today."
With that, he just walked off and exited the house! He didn't even bother to see if I was following them or not. Brat...
I hurried out of the house, removing the bag from my face as tried to quickly find shoes to put on.
"Here! It's a gift from me. Put it on! It will look splendid with this set of dress on." Paula spoke with happiness sank inside her words.
She passed me a pair of shiny blue shoes that has a buckle for me to fasten it and a pair of white stockings.
"Thanks Paula! I love you!" I exclaimed as I hugged her tightly, catching her by surprise.
She finally hugged back and said, "Remember to treat your master properly! He is a nice boy so be nice and serve him to the best of your ability."
I nodded, tightening the hug a little before I released her.
"I better get going."
She nodded and suddenly, the voice of Lizzy startled me.
"Let's go and see Sebastian and my lovely Ciel Chris! Chop chop!"
I smiled, nodding my head again and I ran out first, followed by Elizabeth then Paula.
"Oh. O...kay! I'm coming!" I yelled loudly so that both the guys can hear me and hopefully wait for me to board the classy-looking carriage.
As the little boy boarded the carriage, I gave my last hugs and goodbyes to both Lizzy and Paula.
I will miss them a lot... Although I know them for like... 2 days I think?
Lizzy is just like my younger sister, just that my sister is more mature in a sense and she does not squeal.
After which, that butler bowed to Lizzy once more before he escorted me into the carriage.
"Could you kindly sit at the other side of the carriage? Opposite of young master." He said with a closed eye grin that I feel is kind of... Scary...
"Oh... Okay."
"Lady Elizabeth, it is time for us to get going. We will be having a guest this evening and we are actually behind time." He said as he entered the carriage as well but he sat beside that boy.
"Alright. Goodbye all of you! Take care Chrissy! Ciel~ Do visit me again sometime okay? I'll miss you!" Lizzy bellowed as the carriage started to move and pick up speed.
Okay... As I look at the girls figure become more tiny and when they finally disappeared from my sight.
Crap... Shitty crap... Stupid me! I should have just let Alfrend be like that with the other woman, then he wouldn't hit me, then I wouldn't be blast back into the past! Then I wouldn't be found by Lizzy, then I wouldn't be in this carriage and feeling so awkward! This is the most awkward and tense position I have ever been in!
Sitting at the opposite side of both the guys, I sat in between them, so that I can get a better look at them.
That little boy sitting on my left looks as though he had fallen asleep as his breathing was constant. His left hand supported on side of his cheeks and he looks super adorable! I just wanna go there and pinch him in the che-
"..."
I stopped just in time before I really actually do it because I felt a stare on me...
I got back on my seat, feeling a dark blush invading my face as I looked down at my bag and fiddle the handle.
Why is he staring at me?! I... I didn't mean to do that... The pinching... Its not that I did pinch it down on his cheeks! Although I almost did it...
That pair of crimson eyes did not waver his glaze at me, making me feel so uncomfortable that I have to take a sneak peek to make sure if he really is staring at me.
T... Those amused eyes... Th... That stup... Stupid smirk... He IS STARING AT ME, WITH A SMIRK!
Ooh... How I hate him, making me feel soo awkward under his gaze and yet he still have the cheek to smirk?! What type of a human being is he? The worst type! I'm for sure!
To think I thought that he was some nice butler... I he didn't smirk, maybe I will close one eye and think of him as a nice person, ignoring the stare.
So you wanna play with me eh, butler? Well bring it on! I screamed in my mind.
I kept staring at him, trying my best not to look embarrassed and turn away, without him finding out.
I gulped lightly when I saw his smirk widen. He must have realised that I am challenging him!
Shit, shit, shit, crap, damn, god save me! Its so... Agurh!
I looked down on the ground, my eyes still wide open as my face turned crimson red, just like his... Why am I talking about him anyway?! What is wrong with m-
I heard a person clearing his throat, which is obviously the butler and he started to make a conversation with me.
"Miss, I am sorry for failing to introduce myself to you earlier on. My name is Sebastian Michealis but you can call me Sebastian like everyone else. And you are?" He asked as his hand went into a shaking-hand position and he gave me that freaky closed-eye grin.
... He is just asking the obvious isn't he? I mean, didn't I introduce myself to the two before at Elizabeth's house already? He is just acting stupid isn't he...
"Alright Sebastian, listen closely and listen good. The name's Christabel, Christabel Defille. There." I shot at him, looking into his eyes as I search for any expression in them.
Nope. Found nothing. Just a pair of amused eyes, again.
I hesitated a bit, but finally got the courage to shake his hand.
Don't look at me like that! He looks creepy when he smiles like that to me, like he has something in plan to ruin my future or something. Plus, he is the hottest guy I shook hands with...
The shake was fast and firm, one shake and I quickly kept my hand back to my side.
He started to tell me all the expectations and things I would need to do and meet as a servant in the Phantomhive manor, I almost, almost fell asleep in his long and boring 'speech'.
Why did I put 'almost' you ask? Well, because dear, sweet Sebastian would flick his finger on my forehead to wake me up and make me listen to his beautiful voice to make me fall asleep once again and the cycle repeated until we reached our destination! He is soo mean, don't you guys think? And that was why I didn't get any sleep at all. Not even for a second!
When the carriage hailed, Ciel stirred and woke up with his eyes very droopy.
Yup, the 'speech' Sebastian spoke to me also included what my new master name was. Well duh! What type of a servant of the phantomhive's would I be if I don't even know my master's name?
... Oh no... Damn Sebastian! He... He influenced me during his speech! Now I even speak like him! I might scare others or even myself to death if this keeps up.
He escorted Ciel down the steps of the carriage and I was the last to get down. Sebastian offered me his hand but I ignored it and hopped down the carriage without the use of the mini stairs. Please, I am not that short anyways.
Sebastian shot me a disappointed look, shaking his head a little before a sigh escaped from his mouth.
I just smiled and beamed brightly at him, feeling awesome because I can irritate him. That's payback for flicking my head so hard it became red in colour!
I learnt something new about Sebastian. He is a perfectionist when it comes to... Well, everything! He could not accept any flaws in anything, like as I am a 'lady', as he said, he wants me to be more lady-like.
Aren't I lady-like enough already? . . . .
He can't really do anything to stop me from being 'me'. It would be absurd if that happens, which it wouldn't happen if I still has my sanity with me.
I throttled behind Sebastian, taking in the beautiful scenery around me. I spun around to take in everything and I must say that I am impressed by this place.
"Would you hurry up Christabel. We have no more time to waste." Ciel murmured loud enough for me to hear him.
"Fine! Hump! Meanie..." I mumbled at the end, but surprisingly, Sebastian heard me! He damn, freakingly heard me!
"Christabel, please refrain from call the master such... Names. Be grateful that he accepted you here. I can imagine how you would lead your life at the streets if not for young master." Sebastian told me with his eyes real stern.
"I... I... Alright, you win..." I squeaked. He is so scary like that! I can't believe that I thought he was nice.
I want my mum! My dad! My sis! My Cat!
"DAMN IT ALLLL!" I screamed with all my might into the cloudless sky, cupping my mouth with my hands so that it would reach the gods.
I hope they regret putting me in this position... This... Crazy posit-
"Ouch! Damn it... Ouch!" I cried out.
"Manners, language. Be lady-like." Sebastian heatly told me.
"Okay, okay! Just stop hitting me! It hurts! Likea bit- OUCH! DIE IN A HOLE SEBAST- Ouch!" I glared at him, but it didn't affect him one bit.
I followed them towards the mansion, not bothering about how big it is as I continued to glare and rub my sore forehead.
Damn it! Damn this shit! I can only curse in my mind? What the heck? Seriously, it hurts soo much... Damn that weirdo! Rude butt! Asshole butler! Die in a hole and rot there! Hahahahahahaha! Ah... It feels soo good to curse...
As Mr Perfectionist pushed open the huge doors, I continued to smile happily. I cursed him! And it feels better than to kick Alfrend in the face!
"Alfrend... Do I still actually miss that... That bastard?" I asked myself.
"Ouch! God damn it Sebastian! Damn you! What the fu- ouch! Is wrong with your bloody mind?!" I yelled before panting like I just ran a thousand metres marathon.
"Language." He just answered.
"Language? Language?! I wasn't even scolding you a bast- Wait!" I screeched, knowing that he will still mercilessly hit me.
Alright, here goes everything I have!
"Sebastian~ you are a..."
He raised his brow at me and I know that it was the que for me to continue, and I did.
"BASTARD-WEIRDO-BITCHY-ASSHOLE-PERFECTIONIST-FREAKY-FUC- OUCHY!"
"Language."
