Inside a beautiful mansion, lives Seva Phantomhive. In the front lies a water fountain of a man in a robe, looking like he's pouring the water into the fountain. Simple, but beautiful.
"Time to wake, Mistress." Calls Sabrina, the Maid of Seva. Sabrina wears a black, long sleeved dress, with a long train on the black, shorter in the front, completed with black bloomers. She wears white gloves. Seva, is asleep in a white long sleeved shirt. She sleeps down on her back, the white bedspread neatly folded around her. Her head is rested to one side on a white fluffy pillow, while her hand lays across her stomach gently.
The blue curtains open, the sunlight awakening young Seva, yet she only opens her eyes.
Tying the ribbon around the curtains to keep it in place, walks over to pour tea.
"Today we have a lightly poached salmon with a mint salad. We also offer toast, scones, or pain de champagne. Which dish do you desire this morning?" Sabrina says, while Seva sits up, waking lightly with a small, short, yawn. Her long hair covers one eye, so it can't be seen.
"A scone." Seva replies, rubbing her eyes.
"Today you have a meeting with Ms. Hughes, the authority on the history of the Roman Empire, and this evening Ms. Damiano of the Poseidon company will be coming over." Sabrina informed, helping with her clothes.
"Oh, is that the lady I have in charge of the stuffed animals at my factory in India?" Seva replies, as Sabrina finishes buttoning the end of her sleeves.
"Yes. I'm told she's Italian. We will, of course, offer her all of the hospitality the state can provide." Sabrina says, tying the laces of Seva's shoes, while Seva sips a cup of tea. Seva is fully dressed, wearing a dark green button up dress with a white undershirt. She now wears a necklace, with a Jewel blue as the dark sky, in a simple square. Along her right eye is a black eye patch, not that noticeable considering it is covered up by Seva's hair, which is close to the color of the eye patch.
"I'll await at the dining table, Mistress." She curtseys and starts to exit.
Seva quickly picks up a dart, throwing it at Sabrina's head, with no hesitation. Any normal maid would be hit, but Sabrina catches it with two fingers perfectly. She stops.
"Well thrown, my lady. Even so, let's save these games for later." She turns her head back, barely giving a smirk.
"Yes. I suppose your correct, Sabrina." Sabrina walks put, carefully closing the door behind her.

In the dining hall....
A dart hits the back of one of the young servant's. She wears a straw hat on her bright orange hair, but it still goes through. She also has a long white T-shirt with red along the edges complete with dark orange pants and black boots.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow!" She yells in pain, getting the other servant's attention.
"Why did you do that? What did I do?" The servant says questioning the young mistress.
Seva puts her cup of tea down, "Nothing. I don't need to justify my actions." Seva replies, and the servant's mouth opens, gasping.
The door opens, and all eyes turn. It is Sabrina, the Maid.
"There you are. Have you finished weeding in the courtyard, Fionna?" The servant talking to the master doesn't respond. "Cern, have you washed all the bedding?" Cern, another servant, wears a blue long sleeved shirt, with a white trim. He has big, oval shaped glasses
"Um... Well." He blushes, embarrassed, knowing he didn't.
"And Brinley, shouldn't you be preparing for tonight's dinner?" The servant, Brinley, is smoking a cigarette, and has a protection mask for her eyes hung around her neck. She wears a white chef's coat, the sleeves rolled up to her elbows.
Sabrina's gaze moves to Tanik.
"Tanik. Well, I suppose you're doing fine." Tanik, an older maid, takes another sip of tea.
"Now, we have no time for thumb twiddling this morning. So get to work!" She gives them all an evil glare with her dark which leaves them shaking. They all start to run off.
"Hopeless." Sabrina says, closing the doors behind them.

Sabrina is doing her duties as maid, and fixing the house up.
The silverware shines, not a spot on them. The tablecloth wrinkle free. There is not one dead flower among the white roses. And finally, the highest quality ingredients had been prepared for a first-rate dinner.
The table is perfection. This will be an elegant Phantomhive welcome.
A bell rings, and Sabrina looks over to see which room the Mistress is calling from. It's the study room.
Sabrina stops, having not touched the meat yet, she starts to leaves.
"She calls me when there's so much yet to do." She rubs her hands together to get crumbs off.
"Are the guests coming?" Brinley asks the other servants as Sabrina passes them in the hall. She still has a cigarette in her mouth.
"This is our chance! Sabrina looks down on us all the time, but today we will be so perfect she won't even know what hit 'er. That'll make 'er jaw drop!" Brinley smiles. Fionna and Cern's jaws' drop.
"That's for him to say, not you." Brinley frowns.
"That's a good idea!" Cern smiles, speaking to Fionna.
"We have to stop relying on Sabrina for everything!" Fionna smiles
"Okay, let's do this!" Brinley replies.
"Let's get to it!" They all raise their hands in the air, as Tanik joins in.

"I'd like something sweet to eat." Says Seva, resting her head on her hands.
"You shouldn't eat, Mistress, you might spoil your appetite for dinner." Sabrina replies, standing straight and tall.
"Just get me something sweet." Seva motions for her to go get something.
"No, I can't do that ma'am." Sabrina replies.
Seva looks like she's about to get mad, but she takes a deep breath.
"Take down the portrait in the hallway." Seva walks over to the window.
"I am Seva Phantomhive, and I am head of the house now." Seva stares outside.
"Consider it done, Mistress." Sabrina replies.
