~~~~ Reader POV~~~~

I feel the warmth on my face and something soft on my back. I slowly open my eyes and try to adjust to the light around me and try to sit up.

~ I must be in the hospital. ~ I think to myself.

As I sit up a wave of pain hits me hard, and I wince. I finally can see clearly and look around. I see I’m not in the hospital, but a bedroom. The walls have a nice light blue color, and the window has dark blue curtains with a yellow edge. I look at the bed I was in and feel the soft white silk sheets, and look up and see a dark blue canopy with gold edges. I look around some more and find a cherry wardrobe, dresser, and a long mirror on the side of the room. I slowly walk to a door on the other side of the room and find a bathroom with pearl white tiles and all the nozzles, for the sink, bathtub and window were a beautiful gold color. I carefully walk to the sink and look in the mirror in front of me and pull up the nightgown I was in to see my arm and side are wrapped in band-aids.

~ I wonder who helped me. ~ I think to myself as I walk back to the room and sit on the bed. I look at the clock on the nightstand.
“9:23 am” I hear a knock on the door and I look up.
“Come in?” Then the butler I met from the other day walks in with the boy. I feel something lit up inside of me and I clench my fist.
“How are you feeling miss?” the butler says. I do not fail to notice that he is good looking but I just shrug it off.

“I feel weak is all but other than that I feel fine.”
“I’m glad to hear It,” he says. I look at the boy and wonder about that eye patch.
“Um. . . How did I get here, and why did you help me?” I ask the boy.
“Well. I saw how well you handled those men and decided to hire you as a maid. You would be provided with room and board. And good pay.”

 I looked at the boy and held my fist in my other hand. My body shakes with anger. This little boy wanted me as a maid? I look at the boy with anger in my eyes, I quickly run at the boy. I could see the butler run at me as well; with my senses kicking in again I jump and kick him down. I take hold of the boy’s neck in my hands. I know he saw the fire and anger in my eyes, yet he is still smirking.

“What’s so funny?”
“The fact that you’re taking your anger out on someone you don’t know and the person who saved your life.”
“No one asked you to save my life!”

He just laughs. Soon I feel something pull on my hair.
“You may want to let go of my master now.” I see the butler pulling on my hair. I slowly let the boy go and look at the butler. His front bangs were long and framed his face nicely. His scarlet red eyes had a murder look to them. I try to wiggle free with such no luck. I look back at the boy and he has his frown back on his face.

“I’ll ask you again. Do you want to work here? Or would you rather live in the streets and die?” I bite my lip.

~This may be my only chance to get a job again. I need the money. I have nowhere to go. And no one to turn to~ I tell myself. Slowly
I swallow my pride and look back at the boy.

“Fine. But, I don’t need to be babied by you or your butler. I can handle myself.” The boy just smirks.
“Right now you look helpless, and in pain, so you cannot say you’re strong.” I bite my lip and smirk to myself.
“Watch me.” I suddenly pull forward; having the butler pull my hair back in his hand. He pulls back harder and I pull forward until I fall to the ground. I look up to see the butler wide-eyed, same with the boy. I see a clump of my (h/c) hair in the butler’s hand and I pant a bit and stand up. I only look at the boy.

 “I’m not weak. If I was able to stay alive this long, then, I know I can handle whatever is thrown my way”
 The boy looks at me and smiles. “You are truly worthy to be called a Phantomhive servant.” I relax a bit and look at the boy.

“I am Ciel Phantomhive; head of the Phantomhive household and of the Funtom Company. And this is my butler, Sebastian.” I look at the butler behind me and he just puts his hand on his heart and dips his head.
“Sebastian Michaelis, head butler of the Phantomhive household.”
“I’m (F/N)(L/N),” I say to both of them.

Somehow I feel some kind chill go down my spine. I look into Sebastian’s eyes. They hold a simple look like any human would. I just ignore the feeling and look at my new master.

“So when do I start?” I ask, he looks at me with an odd look and looks at Sebastian.
“I want you to rest, tomorrow you may start (Name).”
“Would it not be best if I start now? I am a quick learner and that way I can be more useful.” I look at my master and he just sighs.
“Very well Sebastian, bring (Name) to her room and a maid uniform.”
“As you wish, master.” Ciel walks out of the room and I look at Sebastian.    
“I will bring you a uniform and then I shall give you a tour of the manor and bring you to meet the other servants. And later in the day, I will show you to your room.”
“Okay then, thank you, Sebastian.” He walks out of the room and I just sigh and rub my head of where my hair was pulled out. I sit down on the bed and look at the clock
“This is my chance to start a new life; I don’t want to mess this up,” I tell myself. “I wonder what kind of people are Sebastian and Ciel. I just hope I don’t fail.” I relax and soon I hear a knock at the door.
     
“Come in.” Sebastian walks in and sets a uniform on the bed.
 “This is for you, now change. Then we can start your day. I shall wait for you outside the door.” He walks out and I change into the uniform.

A black dress with matching buttons and a white pinafore with ruffles around the shoulders. It came with long, black stockings that are held up by a garter belt.
(A/N: Mey-Rin’s outfit I just made it black and Mey-Rin’s is still blue.)

The chest of the dress is too large for me and it falls down to my mid shin since I am somewhat short. I quickly brush my (h/c) hair and tie it up in a ponytail with a white ribbon, and long bang falls on my right cheek. I walk to the end of the bed to find my worn black ankle boots. I gently feel the bottom of the boot to find my last throwing needle hidden in the bottom of the shoe. I put in my hair making a bun out of the tail with the needle. I look down at myself and feel rather weird in this. I walk out and see Sebastian waiting for me.
 “Ready?” He asks, and I just nod my head.

~~~~ Sebastian POV ~~~~~

As (Name) walks out of the room I see that she seems tired. I can’t help but observe her.  Her eyes have dark circles under them. I see that her eyes do have beautiful color thou, an (E/C) hue. She is rather short; only reaching up to my neck.  
“Is everything all right?” She asks me, snapping me out of my thought.
  “Oh yes, everything is fine to miss. Now we shall proceed with the tour.” 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip brought to you by a watchful butler~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After showing her around the manor and garden I walk her to the kitchen.  Before we walk in I hear Mey-Rin, Finny, and Baldroy talking. 
“Baldroy, you shouldn’t use explosives again! Sebastian will get mad!!” 
“Yes, his right! He said if you use it again you’ll be sorry, yes he did!”
“Don’t worry! I have this all under control. Now let’s light this baby!”
I run in and (Name) follows me. 

“Baldroy!!” I scream out as he lights the fuse of the explosives. Before I did anything something went flying past my face and cut the burning fuse off the explosives before they went off. I look behind me to find (Name) in an after throw stance. Her bun was undone and had fallen into a ponytail. We all looked at her with shock. 
“How did you do that?” I ask her in shock.

  “Oh, I’m so sorry!! I didn’t mean it was just a reflex! I saw that- I’M SO SORRY!!!!” She screams out and was blushing madly. Clearly, she was embarrassed by what she had done. 
“Don’t be upset. I should thank you; this idiotic chef always blows up the kitchen.”
  “HEY!!! I’m standing right here!” Baldroy screams out. They all walk to (Name) along with me. 
“So who is she, Sebastian?”  Finny asks.

  “And is that my uniform?!” Mey-Rin screams out. I sigh and shoot them an annoyed look. 
“Everyone this is (Name), she will be working here with us as another maid to the young master. And yes Mey-Rin that is your uniform. I was planning to call Nina to make her, her own uniform and some new dresses; it seems she doesn’t have any left.” I look at (Name) who is looking down at her feet.
  “Now, I want you to make her feel welcome and to treat her kindly and with respect. The master will be overlooking her work today and, choosing her place. So behave your self’s I understood?” 
  “Yes, sir!” The three scream out. 
“Alright then, for now, I want to see what she can do. (Name).” She looks up at me. 
  “Um yes, sir?” 
“You will work with them for one hour with each of them to learn what you can from them. Understood?” 
  “Yes sir!” she says to me. 

“Very well, it’s almost time for the young master’s afternoon tea. It’s a lovely afternoon so; Finny go bring the table out to the master in the garden.” 
  “Yes, sir!” Finny runs off to do his work. 
“Mey-Rin, go set the table up and inform the young master.” 
  “You can count on me!” she states and runs off. 
I look at Baldroy and (name), “As for the two of you I want you to make the master a treat and I will be watching (Name) to see what she knows and can do.” 
  “Got it!” says Baldroy and smiles. 
“I finally get to cook!” He screams. I walk over to where (Name) threw that thing to cut the fuse and see that it was a throwing needle. I pull it out of the wall and walk to the other side to make the tea for the young master. 
~ Where did she get this from? ~ I look over at her and only smirk. ~This girl is rather interesting. ~

~~~~~~ Baldroy POV ~~~~~~~~

This is the first time Sebastian has let me cook the master’s afternoon snack and I am happy as a clam! “Alright then let’s get cooking!” I pull (Name)’s left arm to the other side of the kitchen. 
  “OW!!” She screams out and I look at her holding her arm. 
“I’m sorry! Did I pull you too hard?” 
  “No, I just have a bullet wound and it’s still sore.” I stare at her wide-eyed. 
“Then why in the bloody world are you working?! You should be resting! Sham on Sebastian for making you work!!” 
  “No, no! I wanted to work, besides, I’m fine you just pulled my arm which made it hurt that’s all.” 
“Well alright, then let’s get to work!” I say as I pull out the ingredients.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip brought to you by a loud Chef~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while, I look down at my work and see that I have made a small cake I take a big whiff of it and smile. 
“It’s done!” Sebastian walks over to me.
“What is exactly is that?” He says with what I can almost point out is an eye twitch. 
“It’s strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and a warm blueberry sauce!” I exclaim.
“That looks more like a piece of coal, rather than cake. How on earth did you cook that?” 
“Well, I thought it would go quicker if I turned up the heat on the oven, about a hundred degrees more.”

“And did you tell that to (Name)?” I see his eye twitch again.

“Yes, I told her that as well! The faster we cooked it the sooner the master gets to eat.” I exclaim and look at Sebastian with a happy look and he just sighs. “
“I guess I’ll have to make the masters snack now.” He turns around and stops in his tracks. 
“Oi, what’s wrong Sebastian-! ACK!!!” My mouth dropped open to see three amazing cakes on the counter, all perfectly cooked and decorated. (Name) was finishing up the last cake and she looks over at us after placing the last berry on the cake. 
     
“When did you?! How did you?! HOW!?!?” I screamed out and looked at her. 

“Oh, well I followed the measurements you told me for the strawberry cake, but then I kinda thought why just one cake? So I split the cake into three parts and made three cakes.” She states. 
   
“This one is the strawberry shortcake with the whipped cream and blueberry sauce.” She points out. “This one is a chocolaty swirled cake with strawberries and coconut flakes for texture, and this last one is a chocolate lava cake with raspberries and a vanilla whip cream and chocolate icing.” She looks up at me and Sebastian. 

“It may look pretty but how about taste?” I ask her. 
“The lava cake is best if the master tastes and the rest you can try.” She cuts a piece of the strawberry shortcake for both me and Sebastian. 
“Here.”  
~Can’t be that good? ~ I think so I take a bit and I can’t believe it. 
“This is amazing!!” I exclaim out. Sebastian takes a small bite and looks at (Y/n).


“This is good but I have to leave it for my master to taste, let’s see if he would like it just as much as Bard did.” 

“Where did you learn to cook?” I ask her. 
“My mother taught me while I was still a young girl and I worked as a waitress and learned by watching the cook, plus I bought a cookbook and learned by reading it. I think I still. . . Oh never mind.” Her voice seemed to drop into a sad tone. 
“What’s wrong?”  

“The few personal items I had been in my suitcase but I lost it the night before.” 

“Oh that’s terrible,” I say. 
“That’s okay, besides, I’m sure I won’t need anything I had.” 
"Anyways we should hurry isn’t almost time for tea Sebastian?” 
“Ah! Yes, you are correct. Let’s take your cakes and place them out for the master. Come now Mey-Rin and Finny must have finished their work already.” 

“Very well, thank you Baldroy for showing me what you know!” She smiles at me and I blush! 

“Uh . . . Hee hee, it’s alright and you’re welcome.” 
“Come now we mustn’t delay anymore,”  Sebastian says as he pushes the tea cart to (Name).
Okay so now since I scared to use my new laptop I'm forced to use my school computers and the public library computers. Which I do not like at all! Reason is cuz I can't blare my MCR, 3days Grace and 30sec to mars. >3> sooo yeah.
