Over The Hill and a Great Way Off

The Tour

When I was done laughing I walked up to the small window and pushed back the curtains. I had a view of the garden from here. I was looking around when I saw a boy with blond hair and he was wearing a hat and gloves.
"Must be the gardener." I mumbled to myself. All of a sudden I see him pick up a large stone column like it was a toy. He hummed as he walked over to put it in a different spot. He easily set in down neatly then walked over to the greenhouse. What the hell did I just see. As I finished my though there was a knock on my door. "Come in." I answered quietly. As I did a maid with dark purple hair a large glasses walked in.
"Hello there i'm Mey-Rin and will certainly be nice to have another female working in the estate yes it is." she said in a voice that kinda annoyed me.
"Hello there Mey-Rin i'm Natalia Evergreen it's a pleasure to meet you." I said with a bow.
"No need for formalities here Miss. Anyway here is your uniform the master asked me to give you." she brought out from a large bag. She took it out and helped me into it. It was a blue dress with a white apron that criss crossed on the back with a large bow in the back. The collar went up to my neck and it had white cuffs. I also had to wear a frilly head band type think on my head with knee long black boots. Luckily my wig had short hair so I didn't have to put my hair up. When I had everything on she told me my daily chores. I had to dust everything, clean the windows, clean the floors, walls and furniture and to make sure my own room is always clean. I have to do this everyday! Never mind that, it'll all be worth it.
I nodded I followed her through the house. First we went to the kitchen.
"This here is the kitchen, you won't be here often but will be asked to occasionally." she said standing in the doorway. As I walked into the kitchen I felt weird. Almost like I was being watched and I suddenly felt really cold. "Phoenix." I heard someone whisper in my ear. I whipped my head around but no one was there. "Did you call me?" I asked Mey-Rin
"No Miss why?" she asks as she tilted her head in confusion.
"Oh nothing I guess i'm just hearing things." I said still confused. I swear I thought I heard someone call me. I just shrugged in off. A tall man with blond hair smoking a cigarette walked in and stopped when he saw me and Mey-Rin.
"Oi Mey-Rin who's this?" he asked with the cigarette sticking out between his lips. The smell made my stomach turn. It reminded me of my dad. I tried hiding a look of disgust on my face.
"This in Natalia Evergreen the maid yes she is." she said
"Oh well nice to meet you." he said while shaking my hand "I'm Baldroy the chef even though that butler mainly does all the cooking." he said slightly annoyed. As I felt his hand I felt a chill down my spine. Something was up with this guy, I just don't know what. Me and Mey-Rin started walking out onto the garden next. I gulped as I remembered the strong boy. We walked into the greenhouse to see the boy spraying the plants with something.
"Finny come meet the new maid." Mey-Rin called over to the boy. He set the bottle down and stood in front of us. He had large green eyes and wore red clips in his strawberry blond hair.
"Hello there i'm Finnian but you can call me Finny i'm the gardener." he said with a large smile as he roughly shook my hand.
I smiled back "Nice to meet you Finny i'm Natalia Evergreen." When I said this he blushed a little.
"Wait here!" he yelled making me jump. I looked over to Mey-Rin and she just shrugged.
Finny appeared in front of me. He looked at the floor and held out his hand to give me a rose. Even though he was looking at the floor I can still see him blushing like crazy. "For you Miss Evergreen!" he yelled.
I blinked a couple times before smiling and taking it "Thank you Finny." I said as he looked back up at me and smiled.
"Well I have to get back to work but it was a pleasure meeting you Miss Evergreen." he said
"Please call me Natalia and it was a pleasure meeting you too Finny." I said
He nodded as he ran back to tend to the flowers.
"He seems to have a liking for you Natalia." Mey-Rin teased as we walked back into the manor.
"Ya he kind of reminds me of someone." I said looking at the rose. A picture of Dagger flashed in my mind. Come to think of it they are kind of alike. They have similar color eyes, their very gentlemen like and they both have that sweet smile. But only Dagger gave me beautiful memories that Finny can never replace. Dagger was my one and only. Forever.
"Well Natalia today you can get comfortable but duty calls tomorrow ok?" she said.
"Yes thank you Mey-Rin." I said sweetly.
She smiled and waved as I walked back to my room. When I got there I flopped onto my bed and starred at the ceiling. What happened in the kitchen came back to me. What DID happen in the kitchen? Why was I feeling like that? I tried figuring it out but nothing came to me. I looked out my window and I looked up to the sky. Dagger, what should I do now. I stared at the sky a little longer before laying back down in bed. Ok let's review that plan. Already i'm in and gained the trust of the servants, but i'll have to get close to that butler if I want to get close to Ciel. I might also need some extra help. I need eyes on the inside and out? Where am I gonna find someone to help me. I closed my eyes and thought for awhile. Then I got an idea. I could ask some people from the circus to help me, they will definitely accept, I also need someone who can get really close to Ciel. His fiance Elizabeth has a younger sister who I know just so happens to have a crush on Alois Trancy, enemy of Ciel. She might accept if I can convince her using Alois. I also might have to make a deal with a Demon myself if I want some extra help. I remember hearing from some audience member of two sisters who are demons. I can ask them for help. This is perfect. If I can get them all on my side I can win. I can kill Ciel with no problem. I can avenge my family. I can avenge my love.
