A Kuroshitsuji Fanfiction
Chapter 2: That Maid, Elected
Sebastian enters the young masters room with a tea-cart and draws the curtains allowing the daylight to illuminate the dark room.
Ciel opens his blue eyes and sits up on his bed
"Good morning, young master" The butler walks up to the young boy with a cup of the boys favorite tea, Earl Grey.
"About this maiden you spoke of the previous day… You didn't use much force, did you? "Ciel sips his tea.
"Yes, I hadn't, but she still managed to avoid it" The butler walks to the young boy with clothing and a pair of shoes.
The young noble sighs, "She'll serve the Phantomhive manor; I'd also like to see what she is capable of. Bring her to me after breakfast"
Sebastian smiles and continues to dress his master
"Yes, my lord"
"I'M STARVING!" you walk past a bakery and see many delicious cakes and pastries that made you drool.
"But I should start off with something healthy…" you enter the store and pick up a bread and bought it with the money you stole from some random citizen without getting caught.
You walk out of the store and went to the same alley and sat behind a bunch of cartons that hid you from all the citizens.
Despite your hunger, you still had manners and ate like a lady. After your meal, you thought of what to do next
"Good morning, miss" A familiar voice from the back made you jump,
You turn around and see the same man you had lost to,
"You again?!" you take a few steps back and your hand moves to your pocket and clutched onto the dagger.
"No need to be afraid, I'm here to take you to the manor, after seeing what you are capable of", He grins and stood straight as ever.
You were bewildered but still took your position and were ready to attack him any moment "And why should I trust you?"
"Your skills are needed to protect the young master and his manor, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to live on the streets till you breathe your last breath, now would you?"
You give an uneasy look and you move your hand to your back where the brand mark is located and think about what the man in front of you just offered.
"…And if I say 'no'…?" you look at your feet trying to avoid eye contact.
Sebastian closes his eyes and sighs "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that… My master is offering you a place to live…"
You didn't answer the man, both of you silent,
finally you break the silence "I'll come with you…But if you have any other plans in your mind, I'll execute you right at the spot"
Sebastian chuckles and escorts you to the carriage and you were on your way to your new home.
After reaching and getting off the carriage, you look around and you see a huge mansion. You couldn't take your eyes of the beautiful garden.
"This way, miss" Sebastian signals you to start walking behind him.
He opens the large gates that revealed the interior of the beautiful building.
You see 5 servants and a young boy wearing an eye patch standing between the servants.
Your pupils grow small and your heart skips a beat when you see the eye of the boy, you hold your head as it aches and you fall, but Sebastian grabs you before you could,
Realizing you were held by the man that beat you, you quickly stand on your feet again "I'm fine, nothing to worry about…"
After scaring all the servants like that, you also apologize for your behavior.
The young Earl walks up to you and asks for your name;
"[y/n]…My name is [y/n]" you look at the boy with a fearful look which makes him uncomfortable.
"Sebastian… show her around the mansion. Tell her about her duties and escort her to her new room from where she'll stay. And all of you can get back to work."
"Yes, my lord" All the servants head back to their jobs
Sebastian had shown you around the whole mansion which was time consuming but you still managed to stay patient.
"You will help all the other servants when they're in need of any assistance and especially the maid, you will be her eyes and also make sure no one causes any sort of problems when I am not around."
"Be the maids eyes? Is she blind?" You wonder at why would a blind woman be a maid…
"Not exactly, but you can say that…These are from the young master and please do throw away those old rags you are wearing…" He hands you the maid clothing which are the same as Mey-rin, the only difference is that it's black instead of navy blue.
You gladly accept the new clothes and walk to your new room
"I'd like to have that blade… it'd be dangerous to have that while working…" Sebastian moves his hand forward, expecting you to hand it over.
You move your hand to the area where the dagger is and made a face that could be read clearly.
"If you're going to be stubborn then I have no choice but to let you keep it" Sebastian moves his arm back to its previous position
"Th…Thank you…"
You walk to your new room and the first thing you do is lie down on the comfy bed.
"How many years has it been since I lied down on a bed…?" you turn right and look at your new clean clothes
'That eye…. That face… it's so familiar…'
you take your dagger out and stare at it… "The same blade I was to be stabbed with…"
You get up and walk to the mirror and strip out of your clothes and throw on the new ones, you take the dagger and put it into one of the drawers of the table next to your bed.
You walk out of the room and stand in the middle of the entryway.
"This is where my new life begins."
