~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          We start heading towards the mansion together in silence. ''  You never told me the boys name or how you know him....'' I say quietly breaking the silence. He sighs and glances at me. '' His name is Ciel Phantomhive and he buys information from me. '' But I thought you hated the queens coin?'' I tilt my head. '' He pays me in the best thing there is....LAUGHTER'' He reply's shouting at the end.

         I giggle and lean against him feeling tired '' I love you uncle''  I smile and close my eyes. '' I love you too dearie'' He reply's and I quickly fall asleep.

                                                                            ~~~~~~~~time skip~~~~~~~~~

          I wake up to someone shaking me and calling my name. I slowly open my eyes and see the butler from earlier that day. I yawn and take his hand as he reaches out to help me. '' Thank you sir'' I smile and step down. I keep my hair over half of my face still hiding the bruise that is slowly growing darker. I look up to see Ciel standing at the door and give a small wave. He comes down the front steps to meet me at the bottom as the rest of the servants come to the door.

          "it is nice to see you again young master"  I bow and smile. "It is a pleasure to see you too miss Kirkland'' he replies and leads me into the house. "now Sebastian is going to be showing you around the mansion and will be helping in the kitchen until you learn where every thing is, do i make myself clear?" he asks and I nod.

          ''alright then, ill be in my study if you need anything, Sebastian show her around." he says and heads up the stairs.  I turn toward the undertaker and hug him before bidding him well. he leaves with a nod and i turn to the butler. "what relationship do you have with him? If you don't mind me asking of course" he ask and i shake my head. "not at all mister he just happens to be my uncle is all" i say with a smile as Sebastian looks upon me with surprise.

 i giggle and i walk up the stairs "com'on mister unless you want me find the kitchen by myself" i smile and he shakes his head walking up the stairs after me "sorry, just surprised me. i wouldn't take you for being related" he says. "don't worry if i were you i wouldn't think it either, but were really not all that different" I look down a bit but look back up quickly as we make our way into the kitchen.

          I look around and take in the layout of the kitchen before looking back at the butler. "so who else works here?" I ask and walk over to the counters before opening cabinets and draws memorizing the dishes and other utensils. i look back at him as he answers. "we have May rin the maid, Finnian the gardener, Baldroy the chef and Tanaka the butler. i am the masters personal butler. lady Elizabeth comes around quiet often, as does prince Soma and his butler Agni. the young masters aunt lady red comes around with her butler Grell and lastly Yao comes over with his sister in law."

          i listened carefully to everything he said memorizing the names. "so when should i start baking?" i ask turning around completely to look him in the face. " you will make things like muffins for the mornings and cakes for the afternoon" he reply's. "would i be able to talk to the young master? Somethings changed that i need to tell him" i say and places my hands behind my back. he nods and leads me to Ciel's office, knocking on the door we hear a 'come in' and walk inside.

          ciel raises an eyebrow as me and sebastian walk into his office. we both bow as i continue to hide part of my face. "i wanted to inform you that you wont be needing to send money to my family for me staying here as my father disowned me" i say quietly with a hint of sadness in my voice.  I look ciel directly in his eyes as he nods. "Alright, but answer me one question would you?" He asks and it was my turn to nod. "What would you like to know my lord?" I ask looking down a bit.

          "Why are you hiding behind your hair?" He asks and my eyes widened. "I-i....." I gulp and look away before moving my hair showing the dark purple bruise. "I had an accident" I say and look up, he raises his eyebrow and shakes his head. "If your gonna stay here your not allowed to lie to me" he says my act being portrayed horridly. I bow and apologize "my father smacked me before I left" i say loud enough for him to hear. "Why?" He asks. "Because he believes I stole the money you gave me" I say and his frown grows.

          "Sebastian plan a visit to minzys home tomorrow" he says sternly looking past me to Sebastian. "You really don't have to do that." I say as Sebastian speakers over me replying with a "yes my lord" I frown "it's really not necessary" I say and ciel glares at me. I snap my mouth shut. "I don't care what's necessary or not. My word is final and I said were going to your old house and that's exactly what we're going to do." He says and I nod before bowing. "I'm sorry Young Master, if you would excuse me" I say keeping my face blank no longer caring that the bruise was showing.

          I walk to the door and right before I stepped out ciel called my name. I look back "I won't allow anyone to abuse you. Your part of this house now. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask" he says before waving me on. I nods and head back to the kitchen . I pull out some ingredients for chocolate muffins and blueberry muffins. I mix the ingredients in a bow starting with chocolate and wisk it together taking my mind off of everything. I continue to bake until i run-out of batter and Sebastian walks into the room. "The young master has requested a muffin" he says as I take the final batch out of the oven. I nod and put one on a plate with some strawberry purée and some Earl grey tea onto a cart.

          I begin to clean up as sebastian looks at me. "The young master isn't usually so kind. Don't pass up this opportunity he has presented you." I nod at his words before turning to look at him. "Why does he have a demon for a butler? What does he plan on doing?" I ask quietly seeing Sebastians surprise as his eyes flash pink. "He's had a hard time but I believe if you truly want to know you should ask him yourself. I'm sure he would talk to you." He says with a smirk and disappears leaving the cart. "Hey you forgot the cart" I say loudly but seeing no sign of him I sigh and take the cart up to ciel's office.
