I wake up the next morning to find myself laying in an enormous bed. Oh, I remember now. I was laying in front the Phantomhive mansion. I have to find her now since I'm already here.

I notice that someone has changed my outfit into a plain white pajama. I walk into the corridor barefoot while looking around. The mansion did change a lot the last time I came here. I look up to see a portrait of a little boy with one of his eye covered with a black eye patch. He has a blueish dark tosca colored hair (I don't know I'm not sure about it)

Could he be her child? I can't believe how many years it has been if he is, how old is she now? Will she be surprise to see me?

'It's seems like you've awaken' said a man dress in a black kind of uniform. I look up to see his blood red eye color and his neat black hair. I nodded in reply. He walks near me.

Ugh. This is bad. He's not a human.

I touch my neck. Oh God, my necklace is not with me! I looked down avoiding his gaze. He can't see my eyes. 'I'm Sebastian Michaelis, this, Phantomhive household's butler, may I ask why were you in the front door yesterday?'

'I'm looking for someone. Her name is Claudia Phantomhive, she lives here and don't you know her? You're the butler right?' I ask back.

He looked confuse for a moment and said, 'Unfortunately Miss, I have don't have any idea of the person you are looking for'. I was really surprise to hear his answer. I lean back to the wall. I looked really desperate. He let out sigh, 'Follow me, I'll take you to the earl maybe he would knows'

'Really? Thank you very much' I said as I follow him walking through the corridor. 'Wait a minutes' I yelled

He turns around to face me. I once again avoid his gaze. 'Yes?' he asks with an annoyed tone and a fake smile. Sorry if I'm annoying but it's more important right now.

'Ye –ye -Yesterday, someone changes my clothes right? Do you happen to know where it is? I need to find something important and I can't afford to lose it' I ask.

'Follow me to see the earl first and I'll bring it to you after, is that fine, Miss?' he ask calmly. I nodded. We reach in front of a big room with a carved wooden door colored in burnt umber. 'Here we are' he said and then he knocks on door while saying 'Young Master, the young miss from yesterday request to see you'

After hearing the earl voice lets me in, the butler guy opens up the door and lets me in. I walk forward the earl but I was really surprise to see him, I thought the portrait I saw was Claudia's child or something but it turns out that child is the earl. 'Sit' he said

He walks toward me and sits across me. 'What do you need, Miss?' he ask kindly. Wow, I'm surprise a kind little boy would hire a non human to serve as his butler.

'I'm looking for a woman named Claudia Phantomhive, you know her, right?' I carefully ask. He looks a little surprise at my question.

'That's unexpected for someone to look for her. What do you need her for?' He asks in a sarcastic tone. I frown. Ugh, I bet this child has the same attitude with his butler I think.

'I need to talk with her'. I sigh and said, 'I have to tell her something important'

He smirk devilry, 'Unfortunately, Miss, but you can't see her now'

'Wait, why?' I ask in an angry tone. 'You can't tell me that, who are you to her anyway?' I argued

'I'm her grandson, what about you, Miss? Who are you to her anyway?' he asks curiously while leaning his head to his right hand

I should've known if I didn't see her directly it would be like this.

'I- I, my mother was a friend hers' I said. Then, I set out a glare to him. He raises an eyebrow making an asking face. I let out a big sigh. 'Yesterday, the place I use to stay was burn down and I thought maybe I could ask her for help. Wait! Why am I even telling you all this?' I told him coldly

'Consider you are lucky to be telling me all that life story of yours but just for your information, my grandmother is already back at heaven precisely 24 years ago. There is no way she could help you now' the earl said amused.

It's been that long since I guess. 'Well then, since I don't think I have anything else to do here, I shall go back I think. Now then, please excuse me, Little Earl Phantomhive' I sarcastically said. I get up and rushed to the door.

'You don't have a place to go back anyway, don't you, Old Miss?' he ask. He looks amused by torturing me by asking question he knows I can't answer. 'By the way Old Miss, there is no little in front of the word Earl for me'

'Wow, who are you calling an old miss, little boy?' I ask holding back my anger

He giggles and said, 'Call me Earl then, what's your name, Old Miss?'

'It's not important anyway, right? You can't even help me' I spouted

'I don't but Elizabeth might want to recruit you, Old Miss' he answered plainly. But then I can't-

'I-I'm Sca-' I paused for a second. Wait, I'll be suspect if I told him my real name. 'It's Crystal Rainsword, don't call me Old Miss, I'm not that old you know' I protest

He laughs and looks at me amused. I swear if I could beat him up to death I would do that. 'I know, you must be in your twenties right?'

'Wait do I look that old?' I ask surprised as I touch my face. 'I'm only seventeen you know'

'You're seventeen? You must be a high school student then. I don't think you can work in the Midford manor in that age' he told me with a pity you face expression.

'No, I'm not. I've graduate last year since I'm two years faster than the others' I argued. I still can't believe that kid. I especially can't believe that he looked down to other people.

'You must be smart, you could earn a job easily. Why work in a household?'

'My mother she told me once that she owns your grandmother something so I thought I help her repay it since she already can't' I said sadly putting a fake smile.

There I lied again. This boy is kind of straightforward.

'Then, I'll ask Elizabeth to hire you. She's also a granddaughter of my grandmother. Ask Sebastian to take you to her. Well then, our conversation ends here. Have a good day, Miss Rainsword' he said.

I got out of the only finding that the butler were standing there but I'm pretty sure that he was there the whole time. He hand me over my dress and necklace. I politely said thank you as he walks away. I tries to get a hold of my necklace but- Ouch! Damn I forgot!. I unconsciously throw my necklace away.

'Do you need any help, Miss?' I hears Sebatian's voice ask. Tch! I bit my finger with my fangs until the blood comes out. I turn around to face him.

'I got a little cut' I said showing off my bloody finger. 'Maybe, you could help me wears it?' I beg as I point my cross necklace laying on the floor.

'I guess I should then' he said politely. He picks up the necklace and put aside my hair. This person's demon spirit can be detected easily, I thought.

'I say, you have rather a unique taste for necklace, Miss' he said as he chain both end of the necklace together. I look down and closes my eyes. My eye gradually changes from blue to gray. My fangs turns into a normal human teeth.

'There you go' Sebastian said as he puts back my hair. I turn to face him. 'Thank you again, Mister' I said

'Oh, If I'm not wrong, I think your eyes changes color' he claims as he look deeply to my both eyes. Damn demon! How do you even notice such a major change like that! 'Are you perhaps-'

'No, no' I deny. Crap what am I even saying? 'I- I suffer from a disease called heterochromia iridum. I'm not the kind of monster that you think'

'I see and what makes you think that I think of you as a monster?' he plainly said. I think that I just dug my own hole!

'Because it's a very rare disease so you might think me as a monster or something like that, well, you know' I said covering up. I try to avoid his gaze since I'm a very bad liar. But, I have to admit even though his personality kind of sucks a demon like him could look attractive.

'Well then I shall take you to Lady Elizabeth now' he said as he lead me to her. I glance at him. He suddenly stop walking mjob aking me bump into his tailcoat outfit. I tilt my head making the 'what's wrong face' to him.

'What was the glance for?' he ask to me informally. Wow! Ehat a good eyesight he has. I make smile and grin, 'Tch! I was just wondering how do you know that I was supose to meet her. Let me ask, eavesdropping maybe?'

He smirks and say, 'It's also a job of a butler to make sure that his master is safe from a threat and everything goes right in the house. Everything includes outsiders too'.

I took a deep breath, 'That makes me one I see'

'Yes, we are wasting time, let's meet Lady Elizabeth this instant'

POV Change

I turn my head toward the door as soon I hear it opens. I saw a teenager with a curly ombre french roast mix brazillian brown color that really match her pale skin color tone well. She allso has a gray eye color and looks like about seventeen or sixteen.

She's the girl that Paula found on the door step yesterday. She'll be working as my second maid (the first was Paula) from now. But, seeing her up close I still can't believe that she looks really similar to the girl that I once saw in the rain. Even though her hair color is totally different. It was about a month or two I think.

'Oh, you're here' I said kindly as I walk up to her. She nodded politely. She's really pretty, it's like she's not even a human being. I think that she could even be prettier than me. 'Wow, you're really pretty you know'

'Really? Thank you!' she reply happily as she smile.

'It's a good thing you already come, the carriage is here, My Lady' said Paula as she appear in front of the door. Paula walks to her new co-worker, Crystal Rainsword. She pulls both of Crystal's hands making a dress in Crystal's arm fell and said, 'Nice to meet ya' I'm Paula. Let's work together from now'

Crystal nodded politely. 'Your really pretty you know, when you dress up I personally thinks that you don't have problem looking for a matching outfit' praise Paula excitedly

'Right? You think that too?' I ask curiously. 'Well, c'mon let's go now' I said as I started to walk out of the room.

'Wait!' Crystal yells and is answer with what's wrong from Paula. 'Um, if you don't mine I would like to change my clothes first, I can't go out looking like this' she says nervously as she point out the white pyjama she was wearing all this time.

'Oh, you're right! I'll wait outside and Paula show her the bathroom will you' I said. Paula nodded and started pushing her back into the room I used to stay. I leave them both and walk slowly outside. I sit on the carriage waiting for the both of them and about five minute later the both of them joins me in the carriage.

'I'm sorry it took long' Crystal says as she bow her head.

'Ah, you're fun' I spouted. Looking at Crystal's confused face I giggle.'Too formal you know'

'Maybe, I'll start talking informally to you' she replies.

'But you already did' comment Paula playfully.

'I love that necklace of yours, where you get it?' I ask curiously looking at the rose cross necklace of hers. I waited for her reply but I only got a long moment of silence.

'Hmm, what's wrong?' I once again ask. 'Oi'

She look sharp at me and said 'Please don't ask about it anymore' with an annoyed tone and sorry was all I could say to her.

Minna ... I'm sorry I didn't upload at the next day like I said I would T-T

Something came up and I have to go to a place with no internet connecting (I was suffering too)
