The Demon, The Shinigami and The Maid

His Butler: Elizabeth, Balls and Morticians

She rubbed her head as she cracked her eyes open in her room. She was slightly confused and disoriented as she looked around her unable to recall how she had ended up in her bed and in her night clothes. As she sat nursing her head gently with her palm it clicked as to how she had ended up in her room. She sighed deeply, her brow instantly creasing into a scowl as she flung the blankets off and quickly washed and grabbed a dress to wear.

After getting ready for the day she stomped out of her room and down to the hall where she heard everyone chatting excitedly and happily. Reaching the hall her eyes landed on a hyperactive, over enthusiastic blonde girl no taller than her who rushed over to her and dragged her to the group who looked over at her with worried expressions.

"Ciel who on earth is this girl? Where is Meyrin?" she bounced pulling Alice with her, who looked unhappy about the physical contact.

Ciel was about to speak when Sebastian cut him off. "Miss Meyrin had to go away to tend to family problems and wasn't sure when she would be back so I was sent to find someone to take her place and I found miss Alice." Alice frowned as the girl started spinning around with her happily.

"It is such a pleasure to meet you Miss Alice, you look so young how old are you?" she questioned happily. "I am fourteen." She smiled happily.

They all watched as Alice sweat dropped, a look of horror crossing her features as she continued being spun by the young girl. "I am old enough." She said simply as she pried herself free from Elizabeth's grasp and went and stood alongside Bard who tinted pink instantly.

She looked at him with a perplexed expression before putting her palm on his forehead. "Bard are you alright? You have quite the temperature." She murmured watching as the pink tinted into a deeper shade of red.

He nodded swallowing hard....

Before she knew it six months had passed since she had arrived on the estate. Bard still got all flustered around her. Sebastian still annoyed her to no end. She and Finny had become good friends and she and the Undertaker had grown much closer much to Sebastian's personal disliking.

The viscount had seemed to take a liking to the maid as well much to Sebastian's confusion and soon it was conveyed when the man invited her to a ball along with Ciel and himself who was to escort his Master and Lady Elizabeth.

Things at the ball had only gone from bad to worse when it was made note of that the Undertaker was among the guests attending and much to Sebastian's disliking he had simply swept Alice off her feet by whisking her away onto the dance floor.

It was at that moment that she was grateful to Madame Red for the dancing lessons she had given her. If it wasn't for the woman's help she would have still had two left feet, even though she had been forced to practice her dancing with Sebastian after watching the spunky red headed woman incessantly grope Sebastian's rear in an awkward, bold appreciative manner. While she had learnt to dance over her short stay with Madame Red she had been taught some etiquette though the woman's views where completely messed up, she was even given a crash course in the art of seduction which had her and Red chuckling into the early hours of most mornings.

Somehow during the simple dance she shared with the Undertaker, Sebastian had politely interrupted and asked to dance with her. His strange behavior had earned him a glare from Alice and a strange smile from the Undertaker as he nodded and handed her gently to the butler.

"What do you want?" she growled trying not to look as hostile as she felt at that moment.

"Ah it seems you are not aware of the gossip my little maid." He purred close to her ear.
