There's a knock at the door and my maid answers it. I sit in my office and wait for my guest. A tall man with black hair and wearing a black tail coat opens the door and a young boy, about my age i'd say, walks in. "Ashley, please bring the tea." I ask Ashley. She bows and the man whispers something to his master and leaves with Ashley. "Good afternoon, Earl Phantomhive. My name is-" he cuts me off. "I know who you are, Miss Schaefer, please leave the commentary aside. We came to talk business." he says in a rather bored tone. "Of course. I actually need your assistance." I make sure that no one is outside and I close my window, "I know that you are the queen's guard dog." I say, then I realize that may make him draw his weapon, so I slowly put my hands up as he quickly draws his gun, "SEBASTIAN!!! GET IN HERE NOW!!" He yells and out of nowhere his butler Sebastian comes running in, Ashley right behind him. "Yes, my Lord?" He says calmly, then he takes notice of the situation and takes out leather handcuffs that are connected to a chain. I compose myself and Ashley comes to my assistance, but I motion for her to back down, I want Ciel to think he has the upper hand. I want to see how good of a guard he really is. "Ciel, sorry, I mean Earl Phantomhive, I know what you're thinking, but I'm not working for the Underworld, I am also a guard dog for the queen." His face still keeps composer and he motions for his butler to restrain me. In one quick motion he handcuffs me and Ashley tries again to come rescue me, but still I refuse. I know what he wants. Proof, proof that I'm not lying. I shift my eyes to my desk and he gets the hint. "The letter. There." I say calmly, he opens it and reads it carefully, as Sebastian still keeps me restrained, glaring at Ashley the whole time. Ciel motions for Sebastian to release me. "I see that you were indeed telling the truth, and I see why you need my help." He says apologetically. "It's no problem, but may I ask you a question?" I ask looking over at Ciel's butler. "Ask away ma'am." He says polity. "Alright. How do you know Ashley?" I ask. "I see Daughter that you chose a very..... interesting soul. Were you trying to copy me?" he says to Ashley. Mine and Ciel's eye grew wide as the realization hit us, "Wait, WHAT!!" We yell in unison. "Well, Dad she looked pretty helpless, and her soul, I know will be delicious." she says in a manner I would if someone was accusing me, wait did she just say my soul will be delicious, and that I looked helpless! "Well so much for getting somewhere with you." Sebastian said, every word lased with sarcasm. "Enough! The both of you quit it! You're giving me a headache." I say harshly. "A thousand apologies, miss." Sebastian say bowing in an apologetic way. "Stacy, right?" Ciel asks. "Yes." I say confused. "It looks like you're the other guard dog the queen addressed in my letter. And looks like you and I will be working together a lot from now on, so call me Ciel." He says casually, he then smirks and a weird sense of Déjà Vu hits me, but I shrug it off and smile. Ashley escorts them out and I sit back down in my office chair. I rethink everything that just happened and try to figure out what that felling was about.
