Christabel's Pov
I feel much, much better after waking up from yesterday. I feel so superbly refreshed and energized that I've got the power to take on any shit the world is going to throw at me and my way! Hell yeah! Woohoo~!
... Maybe I have too much energy recharged within me. Hehe...?
I stretched my body until my joints and muscles are at their limits before letting my breath out and dropping my limbs to my side. I looked out at the transparent glass window, squinting my eyes a little as the sunshine glared at me.
It should be about ten in the morning right now. I thought about what Ciel said yesterday about me being his caretaker as both my hands went behind my head. Why did he accept me so readily? Was it because of his soon-to-be wife? Maybe, and I also promised her I would take good care of my current young master. I better do a good job at it, as who knows what would happen?
What if he suddenly sacks me from my job and leaves me to fend for myself on the streets? What if, he ordered Sebastian to give me a lecture so bad that it can kill my ears and make me beg him to give me mercy stop? Ugh... I do not even want to think about such a cruel thing Ciel might do to the helpless me.
One thing for sure right now, I have to find a way to get back to my rightful era while figuring out on how I can return home. I will play a good role as a caretaker to my one and only master, Ciel Phanomhive.
The surname sure rings a bell in my head though. I am quite positive I heard it before when my parents were discussing about their business and other stuffs while I was younger. I use to sit in the middle of both of them, playing my stuff toys on the sofa while they discussed such matters.
Until this day, my dad is still running the toy company, being the number 1 best seller of toys in my era! Cool eh? Wait a minute... Why the heck am I shifting to this topic?... Well, let's move on.
I sat at the edge of my springy bed, pushing off the blankets that covered me and I noticed that I didn't change out of my clothes from yesterday.
I opened the woody wardrobe and looked at the clothes available, sighing when I realised one simple problem: all the clothes are my caretaker's outfit! Not another different colour or pattern seen. And that outfit is the maid's outfit... Maybe, just maybe if I changed the blouse here a little and removed the apron, transforming into that, it might look better!
Done! Now I have a special and different type of clothes from Maylene! I will definitely adjust the skirt into a pants soon enough but now, I have to start on my quest, my job and my breakfast!
I hurriedly took the clothes and changed into them, fumbling with the buttons and tied a big ribbon with the two white strings provided behind my back. I tied the part of my hair that is in front of my shoulders up with a rubber band and let out a breath.
I slowly walked out the room, looking around and trying to find any trace of sounds and all.
Nothing.
I then continued to walk around and down the stairs, trying to remember where the kitchen is actually at with the fizzy memory of Sebastian teaching me which direction to reach each destination of this estate.
I finally reached in front of the kitchen and I stood there, pondering on whether I should go in a not.
I think I caused quite a lot of trouble around here and they most probably want me to leave. If that happens... I don't even want to think about it!
I felt a heavy debating aura around myself. Should I enter? Should I stay in the room?
Augh! Fine! I am going in this time, for real!
I slid open the sliding doors, revealing the guys and girl I saw just yesterday. Just that, Seb is not there... Yes! This news surely brightened up my day!
The moment I open the door, all eyes were on me. I returned them with my stoned face and I scratched the back of my neck before awkwardly speaking out a simple word. Well, two words if you count the first one as a word.
"Erm... Hi?"
After saying that, they just continued to look at me like a stranger for a few more seconds.

"KAYY! CHRISTABEL! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? I AM SORRY I BROUGHT TOO MANY CLOTHINGS FOR YOU AND SUFFOCATED YOU WITH THEM, YES I AM!" The red head cried out.
"WAHHH! MISS CHRISTABEL! YOU ARE FINE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO DIE! WAAAHHHH!" Sobbed the teenage blonde.
"I see ya' woken up eh? Hurray." the older blonde sarcastically voiced out, a cigarette hanging at the side of his lips.
All of them ran towards me, two grasped onto me as they sobbed while the other just stood there, leaning against the kitchen table.
"Ehehehe... Maylene, Finny, I am fine, it's okay! It is really not your fault Maylene. -" I paused awhile, telling this half of the sentence to Maylene.
Maylene looked up to me from my waist that she grasped tightly on, and her eyes glittered with tears at the corners.
She gave me a teary pout and managed to choke out the word, seriously and I just smiled goofily down to her, making the smile reappear on her face.
"-And Finny, stop crying! I am not dead yet, unless you really want me to be dead that is." I continued, finishing the sentence I 'prepared' for the two and looking down at Finny, who hugged one of my legs so tightly I can feel my blood current stop flowing.
"No! I don't want you to die! Wahh! I-I will stop c-crying, I promise! hiccups"
After I kept quiet for a moment, I waited for those two to regain their sense and tell go of me but all that happened afterwards was the sound of sniffing and hiccups filling the air.
I coughed a little, trying to signal them to let go of me and they did, but not before Jackass blonde snickered.
I don't ever think I can get along with anyone in this household! I mean, Sebastian is scary, naggy, irritating but handsome and all and I feel that the older blonde guy hated my guts the moment he sat his eyes on me. As for Finny and Maylene, well, maybe they don't hate me that much. Ciel, that is out of the question. He definitely does not like me. He sounds so stiff and I feel that he did not actually want me to work under me. Maybe I should just leave...
I was snapped back into reality when I heard someone clicking his or her tongue loudly. It was the jackass blonde, and he still is leaning there against that table.
"Tsk, tsk. Guys, give some space to that lady." The blonde guy with a lighted up cigar in his mouth announced.
"Hai!" Both of them said in one tune. They immediately let go of me and stood beside him in a flash.
"As you know, I am Maylene and I am the maid in this house, yes!" Maylene spoke with her hand up in the sky, like what students do when they volunteer themselves when the teacher ask questions.
"Hi Miss Christabel! As you know, my name is Finny! Nice to meet you!" Chirped the cheerful blonde as he presented his hand to me for a handshake. I gladly accepted it and I was all smiles until my eyes landed on the other blonde.
"The name's Bard." 'Bard' announced uncaringly, not bothering to hide his boredom in his voice.
"Nice to meet you guys." I said, forcing a fake smile and trying my best to cover up the pissed off sound I was making.
Bard smirked, Finny smiled with his eyes closed and Maylene grinned. Those combined together makes me have a light smile on my lips and after a minute or so, I laughed softly and the others follow suite. I high-fived Bard unexpectedly but he enthusiastically returned me the high-five, grinning at me before giving me a thumbs-up.
Maybe everything would turn out alright. Maybe, I might start liking this era so much that I don't wanna go back home anymore. Maybe...
