Chapter 6: The Star Is Born

Not exactly what I intended, but I still got a job. I was to be the assistant of the servants of the Phantomhive estate.

"Now. How shall I address you?" He still faced the window. He was too damn confident for a thirteen year old.

"Arena, young Lord." He twirled his chair around.

"And I presume you are young master's age." Sebastian. Stop doing that thing. His eyes turned back to the red color they are supposed to be. Wait. Eyes aren't supposed to be red. Oh yeah, he's a freaking demon.

"I think I'm 13." I shrug.

"You think?" Ciel stares at me.

"I was left homeless since I was four."

"What the hell happened to you?"

"My sister kicked me out once my parents died. It's kind of a long story." I itched the back of my head.

"Sebastian, get this girl some clothes for bed. And a maid's uniform." Sebastian bowed and took me to a room deep into the Phantomhive manor.

"Here we are, Meyrin's room." He took the back of his hand and tapped on the door. "Meyrin, are you in there?"

"Sebastian?" She asked, she opened the door a crack and looked at me. "Who's this?"

"Arena." Sebastian smiled and her face turned red. "She'll be your new assistant."

"That's just great! Young master will be happy!"

"Yes. Show her around."

I was allowed in her room, where there were two candles above a crappy looking bed. There was a decorated armoire where all the clothes were.

"Hello, my name is Meyrin." She took my hand and shook it. She had maroon colored hair, and glasses with a slight crack. She wore a baby blue nightgown with no pattern whatsoever and three white buttons at the top.

"Um, hi." I made a faint smile. "I'm Arena."

"I like your dress, I remember when young master wore that." She pulled out some pajamas for me.

"What? He wore this?" My face turned bright red.

"Yes indeed, he dressed up as a young girl when he was solving the infamous, "Jack the Ripper" case.

"He solved that one?"

"Oh, yes."

She handed me a nightgown and she sat down on the bed. I stood there.

"Oh, stop. I won't look." She opened a book on the shelf and read on her bed, back towards me.

Soon, I carefully stripped. I took off the dress and put on my blue nightgown. Obviously, Meyrin is much bigger and taller than me, so I was stuck with three inches extra of fabric on my arms. Plus the six on my legs.

"It's time to sleep, Miss Arena." Meyrin turned around and pulled a mattress out of a small closet and laid it on the floor.

"I think I'll sleep on the floor tonight." She went fast asleep, as I blew out the candles. I put a blanket from my bed, onto her. And I fell fast asleep.

"Goodnight, Mom. Goodnight, Dad. Goodnight, Ethel. Goodnight, Meyrin. Goodnight..." I stared up to the sky.

"Ciel."
