Hey minna! Thanks for reading my story so much! I'd like to add that I will be posting more frequently from now on. Disclaim: Yana own Sebby Ciel, etc. I solely own Lea.
At the Phantomhive estate, Lea wore a new uniform of Phantomhive blue. The sleeves puffed up at the shoulders, the collar was to her neck, and her skirt was long. There wasn't much difference between this and her previous unattractive yellow uniform. In fact, blue was her color. It brought a rich tone in her silky chocolate hair and the vibrant, curious, but dull, light in her violet eyes. While she was admiring her features in the mirror, Sebastian strolled in the bedroom she was assigned.
"Sir,"She said as she curtsied.
"I assume you know how to clean considering your previous occupation?" Sebastian confirmed.
"Yes sir, where do I begin?" She inquired.
"The West quarter of the mansion," he replied.
"Excuse me," she curtsied again and walked to her job.
As she scrubbed the rich chestnut wood floor of West quarter, she thought of her interrogation.
FLASHBACK
The carriage ride to the mansion had been quiet and uneventful. Lea had thought of the strange man with the handsome green eyes. Who was he? What did he mean? She was next?
The carriage stopped in the drive of a large estate. The building was a magnificent piece of architecture, but it lacked something Lea couldn't place. She felt she lacked that too. A large white wolf-dog bounded to the carriage.
"BACK DOG!" Sebastian barked at it.
The dog reeled away and fell into a bush.
Sounds of pleasure came from the strange creature as the shrub scraped the its back.
Sebastian opened the door to the carriage and helped Lea out.
They walked to and through the house. The entrance was quite elegant, and all the hallways that followed. Sebastian opened a door and lead Lea inside.
A little chair and table sat in the center of the room. As unsettling as those two pieces of furniture were, what really frightened her were the peeling wall, claw marks, and blood stains that coated the room. The only untouched parts were the table and chair.
"Take a seat, please," Sebastian motioned to the chair.
Lea uneasily sat in the strange chair.
"Lets begin shall we? First question. Who might you be?"Sebastian asked.
"Lea Tanaka, former maid of Lady Margart Ashton and Lord Henry Ashton," Lea replied.
"Tanaka, you say?" Sebastian inquired. "Number Two. What is your history, parents, any criminal record?"
"I was born in a mansion owned by a great Earl, my mistress told me. There was a great fire and everyone in my family died...I've never known my parents. I stole a loaf of bread when I was five, and that's it, sir,"she responded.
"Hmm, Number three. What were you doing in that alley? And anyone else there?"Sebastian continued.
"I was on my way home from an errand, and there was a strange man. He had these eyes... A lovely cold green,"She shut her eyes.
"Hmmmm. That's enough for the present,"He said thinking. "I will show you to Mei Rin."
Lea stood up and followed him. Silent tears trailed down her cheeks. She had almost died...
"Thank you," Lea said.
"Thank me?" Sebastian repeated stopping.
Gratitude was quite unusual. He blushed a little, but never looked at Lea.
"For saving me, sir," She tried again.
"I see, you are welcome,"he replied.
END OF FLASHBACK
Lea finished the hall and went to clean a different part of the mansion. As Lea walked, she remembered the man with the green eyes. Who was he?
"I shall take I upon myself to inquire!" She told her self.
