The Young Lord's Maid
A new maid has been hired at the Phantomhive residence. Some how Ciel knows this woman and why is Sebastian so drawn to her?
I do not own Kuroshitsuji or any of it's characters. Just Savannah Belheart.
okay, yeah...writer's block again for Through The Eyes of The Oracle and Angel, the demon with white wings. It's not uncommon for me to work on more than one story. This happens alot. I was listening to Selena Gomez's Love you like a love song. (it's catchy!) and this idea came to me.
Enjoy!
Long sleek silver hair played with the wind as she stood outside the large manor. It was to be her first day here at the Phantomhive estate. She stood tall, her dark emerald eyes sparkling as she took in the beautiful scenery. Suddenly the doors opened and a tall, dark, dashingly handsome butler looked at her with a slight smile. The smile turned to a look of shock as Savannah entered the manor without a word. The color of her eyes had caught Sebastian off guard for a moment. He had seen those eyes before somewhere. The black dress she wore was beautiful when he turned to get a good look at her. White roses decorated the dress, her coat hanging over her arms. Her lips were a soft shade of pink, a small smile appearing as she glanced at Sebastian.
"You must be the new maid my young master asked for." Sebastian said as he shut the door.
Savannah nodded and Sebastian motioned for her to follow him. She followed close behind him, hearing a crashing and an explosion in the background. She turned her head for a moment to see what had caused the sounds when her eyes caught smoke coming across the ceiling. She stepped away from the butler and followed where the smoke was coming from. Standing in the middle of the room was a blonde haired man, his hair in an afro, covered in soot. Savannah's face was that of shock as she looked around the room.
"How many times do I have to tell you Bard, dynamite is not for cooking!" Sebastian shouted at the man.
"Dynamite? Il était à la dynamite?" (Dynamite? He was using dynamite?)
Sebastian looked over at Savannah and nodded his head in confirmation. Savannah picked up a piece of burnt chicken off the wall then looked to Bard with a slightly startled look on her face. Bard just stood there with a grin on his darkened face while rubbing the back of his head with his hand. Savannah dropped the piece of meat on the floor and shook her head.
"Bard, clean this up. Now!" Sebastian said as he led Savannah from the kitchen.
The woman followed in silence once again. Sebastian glanced over his shoulder at her and Savannah's lips turned into a soft smile.
"The young master may be concerned about you though you seem to understand the English language very well. His main concern may be your speaking-"
"Ne pas s'inquiéter, je parle aussi l'anglais." (Not to worry, I speak English as well.) Savannah said softly.
"Very good." Sebastian said as he knocked softly on the door leading to Ciel's study.
"Come in." A young boy's voice said though the heavy wooden door.
Sebastian opened the door and Savannah entered.
"Young master, the new maid has arrived."
Ciel looked up from his papers and his eyes widened as he looked at Savannah.
"Good evening Lord Phantomhive. You've grown since I last saw you." Savannah said, her voice laced with a soft French accent.
"You know my young master?" Sebastian asked.
Savannah nodded as she took a step closer to Ciel's desk, placing a letter in front of him.
"I personally accepted your request for a new maid my lord. It would be a terrible waste of your time to hire someone who would not meet your standards." Savannah said as she smiled down at the young earl.
Ciel merely nodded and took the letter from Savannah's hand. He sat there for a moment before finding his voice.
"Tanaka said you had died in the fire. You were deep in the burning manor, he couldn't find you." He said.
"I'm sorry to have worried you my lord. I was looking for you. When the manor started to collapse I wasn't able to stay any longer. Mon jeune maître, je suis tellement heureux de vous revoir. S'il vous plaît me permettre de travailler pour vous une fois de plus." (My young master, I'm so happy to see you again. Please allow me to work for you once more.) Savanah said softly.
"You know I can never understand you when you speak French Vannah." Ciel said, using the name he'd given Savannah when he was a child.
A brilliant smile graced Savannah's face and she rushed around to hug the young boy. Ciel let out a surprised yell and quickly tried prying the silver haired woman off of him.
"Let go of me! That's an order Savannah!" Ciel said quickly.
Savannah immediately released Ciel from her grasp and stood next to him at attention. Sebastian's normal stotic face turned to one of surprise once more as he watched the scene before him. Ciel looked up at her, into those dark green eyes.
"You start work immediately after you unpack your things. You should know where your room is. Sebastian, help Vannah take her things to her room and get her a uniform." Ciel said as he sat back down in his chair.
"Merci jeune maître." Savannah said as she curtsied to Ciel.
"Oh and Vannah."
"Yes my lord?" Savanah said as she turned back to Ciel.
"Welcome back." Ciel said without looking up from his papers.
Savannah then turned and exited the room with Sebastian, walking to her old bedroom.
"I had no idea you worked for my young master." Sebastian said.
"I work for the late Lord and Lady Phantomhive. I've known Ciel since he was born." Savannah said as she turned down a hall, Sebastian close behind her.
Sebastian silently nodded, showing he was listening. Savannah stopped at a door to her right and turned the handle, letting herself into the room. The room she stepped into was decorated beautifully. The walls were a dark shade of burgundy, the lower halves a gorgeous red oak. The bed was a four poster canopy bed with dark red curtains tied to the posts. A single night stand sat on the right side of the bed. The sheets and comforter were white satin. The floor was the same red oak as the lower halves of the walls. Opposite of the bed was an oak vanity and dresser set.
"Thank you for helping carry my things, Sebastian was it?" Savannah asked.
"Yes. Please do hurry and unpack, we are expecting a guest in a few hours." Sebastian said as he glanced at his pocket watch.
"Of course. I will be down in no more than half an hour to help you with the preparations."
"Very good. Since you've worked for the young master before I shouldn't have to worry about giving you a tour of the manor, correct?"
"Not to worry Sebastian, I know the manor like the back of my hand." Savannah said with a smile.
"Very well, I will see you downstairs in half and hour."
With that Sebastian left, closing the door behind him. Savannah stood there for a moment, looking around the room. It was nostalgic to be back in the manor that she onced called home. It was heart warming to work for Lord Ciel once again.
"Well, enough thinking. No time for that." She said as she began unpacking her things.
I kinda like how this ended. It was much shorter than this and I hated it before I made it longer. I was going to make Savannah stuck upish, but then I decided against it. Sebastian's already stuck up enough as it is.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed it! please review and tell me what you think! Thanks!
