After I woke the next morning I was told to wear a dress and come to the ballroom.
I dressed and did as I was told. The ballroom was spacious and on a small table were my guns that Sebastian confiscated from me when I broke in.
I walked towards the table and lifted one of the guns. They felt different.
"These are not my guns," I said simply to Sebastian as he walked in.
"Well of course not! First, we are training inside. Second we don't trust you completely. Third I would not appreciate getting shot and ruining my uniform." he explained. The terms were fair enough.
"So what is this?" I asked.
"It is a toy replica from my toy company," The Earl said from where he sat on the sidelines waiting for what ever was happening here.
The other servants were on the floor looking anxious. I took the toys off the table.
"What am I to do?" I asked. As an answer Sebastian took off his jacket and rushed me. Without thinking my hand shot up and I pulled the trigger. the small round pellet hit him square in the chest. He didn't stop. I jumped back and shot a pellet at his forehead.
Seeing that he wasn't going to play by the rules I circled the ballroom and held both guns up and hit him in the legs. He hesitated a second and I charged him. I jumped and propelled myself over him. Usually this would be simple and I would shoot my enemy in the back of the head but I was used to wearing trousers.
The butler grabbed my skirt and slammed me agains the floor. I lost my breath and struggled to stand. I cursed under my breath as I raised my guns.
"Enough, I would like to go on a hunting trip with my maid." The Earl smirked.
"Does this mean I will receive my guns back?" I asked.
"Yes If you kill me ten animals," he explained.
"And how many bullets will I be given?" I asked.
"Ten," he answered.
"You underestimate me," I grinned. He seamed pleased by my answer.
"Very well, Sebastian, please show us to the lawn," he ordered.
"Yes, my Lord." the butler bowed and began to lead us to the lawn.

We arrived at the lawn and Finny handed me my real pistols back. I took them in my hands and I felt calm again.
"I will allow you five minutes to complete the given task," The Earl called. He held a pistol above his head and sent a bullet flying into the air. I took off into the forest. I heard a branch snap and sent a bullet flying at an unsuspecting rabbit. I picked up my game and continued.
Ceil waited. He held a pocket watch in his hand and listen to the rounds of shots that littered the air. Mey Rin had three minutes left. He liked her. She had the right fire to be here. He knew she would fit well with Bard and Finny. Another minute went by. Come on Mey Rin don't let me down.
As the last few seconds ticked by she came out of the clearing and pointed her gun at the Earl. She sent her last shot flying past his head. The shot made contact and everyone turned to see the dead squirrel fall from it's spot on the tree just as her time ended.
Everyone's attention turned back to the maid. She did a curtsy and spoke.
"Young master, I apologize for scaring you with my last shot." she said before coming out of her curtsy.
Ciel waved it away. He gave the woman a reassuring grin. "You're hired," he beamed, "You may keep the guns," he turned and started walking back to the house.
