black butler past and future

Chapter 2 where am I?

It had been nearly two weeks since Sebastian had found the mysterious young girl, he entered the guest room that was prepared for her to see if she was awake but no she was still asleep

He then changed her head towel it seems she had developed a fever not long after being found by him and agni, as he changed her head towel he said "it feels like I know her" he placed his hand to his mouth and said "but where from?"

The young girl seemed to have said something Sebastian didn't quite catch it so he listened to see if she would said it again she did she mumbled "daddy"

After that Sebastian waited a few minutes to see if she would wake up but she didn't, so he left the room and walked down the hallway after a few minutes stopped and knocked on the door in front of him "enter" is what came from the other side Sebastian did

Ciel was sat at his desk doing paperwork without looking up said "so how is she doing sebastian?"

Sebastian replied with "it seems her fever has broken now it's starting to go down but, it seems she was asking for her father in her sleep"

Ciel looked up and said "it's good that her fever has started to go down, but has anyone reported a missing girl matching her description?"

Sebastian shook his head and said "I'm afraid not my lord, but I wonder where she came from? and what happened to her to leave her in that state?"

Ciel sighed he leaned back in his chair and said "well let me know if she wakes up, maybe she can tell us something about herself anything is better than what we have to go on now, it's like the blind leading the blind"

Sebastian bowed and said "yes my lord"

meanwhile the mysterious young girl opened her eyes it felt like they weighed a tone she tried to sit up but couldn't since her body felt like lead, the girl looked around the room and said weekly "where am I?" it was then a knock came at the door but she didn't answer, and decided to shut her eyes again and pretend to be asleep seeing as she didn't know who it was

the door opened and sebastian walked in since there was no answer he assumed she was still asleep, so he went over to the girl and changed her towel as he did that she opened her eyes to see who it was who had come in, to sebastian it looked like she had just woken up he smiled at her and kindly said "hello young miss how are you feeling?" she didn't answer

Sebastian then got a chair from the corner of the room brought it over to the bed and sat down and said kindly "so can you tell me your name miss?"

The girl stared at Sebastian now able to see his face she was shocked taught 'no way! how?' the young girl just stared at Sebastian for what seemed like an eternity it was then Sebastian said "are you ok miss? is there something wrong?"

She shook her head and just stared at him Sebastian smiled and said "that's good, now can you tell me your name"

she was hesitant sebastian saw this and kindly said "please don't worry you are in no danger nor are you in any trouble, so can you please tell me your name so that I know what to call you"

The girl nodded and said "my names Amalia"

Sebastian smiled and said "now that's a pretty name" she smiled and taught 'how come you don't know me?'

Sebastian then looked at her and said "my name is sebastian I am the butler to this estate"

Amalia then went to sit up she was having trouble sebastian noticed and helped her sit up with the aid of some pillows, as her body still felt heavy once she was sat up she looked at sebastian and said "excuse me, I hope you don't think im rude, but where am I?"

Sebastian smiled and said "my now what good manners you have, your parents raised you well and to answer your question you are not in the least bit rude, you are currently at the phantomhive estate miss"

Amalia was shocked she said "how can that be?" Sebastian said "pardon Miss Amalia?"

Amalia was starting to panic and said "can you also please tell me what day it is?" Sebastian said "of course it's August 21st 1892"

Amalia was shocked she taught 'I-I shouldn't even be here, and that's why he doesn't know who I am' sebastian then noticed that Amalia was in shock and said "are you ok miss Amalia? you seem to be a bit shocked"

Amalia looked at him and nodded she then said "yes im fine, so I'm at the phantomhive estate and its August 21st 1892 is that correct?"

Sebastian nodded and calmly said "yes that is correct is there anything the matter?"

Amalia remained quiet she shook her head Sebastian said "ok as long as nothing is the mater" it was then sebastian offered Amalia his hand he said "can you stand miss Amalia?"

Amalia said "I think so?" Amalia took his hand and Sebastian helped her out of bed but her legs gave way as she soon as she went to walk and fell to the floor

sebastian said "dear me" and picked her up Amalia then looked at her legs and saw the bruises she taught 'they should have healed straight away'

amalia was still looking at her legs and then said "um excuse me, I have another question where did these bruises come from?"

Sebastian said "they were on you when you were found Miss Amalia"

Sebastian then placed Amalia back on the bed and said "it seems that you will need to stay in bed for a day or two until you can walk, and also so that your fever can go as well"

Amalia nodded and said "ok um did I have anything with me like some bags?"

Sebastian nodded and said "one moment" he then brought the bags over to Amalia and placed them on the bed in front of her

Amalia picked up her rucksack and placed it on her lap and opened it she then took out a toy cat and smiled and said "at least I didn't lose you" while hugging it

Amalia then realised she didn't have something on her and said in a panic "where is it!?" as she was searching franticly

Sebastian said "what is you are looking for Miss Amalia?"

Amalia replied while still looking and said "it's a pocket watch, I should have it with me"

Sebastian said "I'm sorry but you didn't have one on you when you were found" he then smiled and said "but I'm sure you will find it"

Amalia was nearly crying she was holding back her tears she taught 'how could I have lost it, I know how important it is'

Sebastian noticed and said "is it of some importance miss Amalia?"

Amalia nodded but it seems her efforts to hold her tears back had failed she said while crying "I-I'll be in a lot of trouble if I've lost it" she sniffled while wiping her eyes

sebastian then sat by Amalia on the edge of the bed and put his hand on Amalia's head as if to comfort her, well that made it worse for Amalia she turned to sebastian and buried her head in his chest crying, while holding her cat after fifteen minutes Amalia had calmed down she wasn't crying anymore and was asleep again hugging her cat, sebastian gently laid her back down and covered her he then put her bags back in the wardrobe so they would be somewhere safe and said "there it is again, why do I get the feeling like I know her?"

Once Sebastian saw that Amalia was asleep he left the room and quietly closed the door it seems he had many questions to ask her but they would have to wait till a later
