Finnian was tending to the roses in the far end of the garden when the girlish boy heard childish singing,"Little critters, come to play with me, all the birdies are, singing happily. But don't you think, that they also will, Be prettier if They stay still? The flowers, red, yellow, and blue. I will pick the prettiest ones for you. And make the perfect flower crown, For your head, And now all of the flowers are dead!" The song pauses for a moment as she giggles,
"Vroom, vroom" A very curious Finnian is alarmed to see a small girl swinging a chainsaw around, threatening to cut the plants but the small chainsaw never does.
"What a lovely sound this makes! Cutting everything that is, in my wake. But! Father says this is not allowed, so I guess, I will stop this. For now~" The girl smiles almost bitterly fake dropping the now silenced chainsaw as tears that look like they were made of crystal fell onto the small palms of her hands as she looked down.
"No more critters, come to play with me, I can no longer hear, the birdie's melodies, Well then, Snowball, let's go back inside, I am happy just, to be Alive!~" The small girl finishes, crying, picking up a dirty stuffed bunny, so dirty it was impossible to guess what colour it originally was.
"E- excuse me young Miss, do you need assistance?" Finnian calls out to the small girl,
"I want my father." she replies looking into his eyes with her own onyx pools, Finnian nodded,
"Who's your father?" The girls' lip quivered as she let out a small whimper,
"O- ok! uhm... I need to take you to the young Master first! So what's your name?" Finnian asks as the girl seems to be thinking
'Papa doesn't like me telling people he doesn't trust, and I don't know if papa knows him... oh yeah! My middle name is--'
"Cecilia... My name is Cecilia." the girl replies earning a smile from Finnnian,
"Well Mistress Cecilia, I am Finnian the gardener of the Phantomhive manor, but you can call my Finny!" Cecilia smiles and test Finny's name out as if it were foreign
"Finny... Finny, Finny, FINNY!" Cecilia cheers jumping up while her bunny Snowball hangs loosely by the arm in the small girls grasp.
"Well Mistress Cecilia hop on my back! I need to tell the young master you're here!" Finny cheers offering you a spot on his back awkwardly as his large hat was in the way.
"Let's go see the master! Let's go see the master!" Finny chants multiple times getting the little chant stuck in your head, as you start to sing as well. Entering the mansion Mey-rin spots Finny singing surprised to hear another voice coming from behind him.
"Finny! Who have you got there?" Mey-rin asks circling around him to find the small body of a child,
"Finny there's a small child on your back, Yes there is!" Mey-rin exclaims carrying the girl off Finny's back and gently rocking her in her arms.
"What's your name, young Mistress?" Mey-rin asks. "My names' Cecilia! What's your name pretty lady?" Cecilia replies smiling up at the woman that is holding her in a gentle embrace.
"O- oh my... you're too kind!! My name is Mey-rin, yes it is!" Mey-rin replies giddily, blushing at the 'pretty lady' part.
"Does the Master know?" Mey-rin asks Finny,
"Nope! We are going to tell the Master now!" Finny cheers, "Well, lets go!" Finny says unknowingly grabbing Cecilia roughly causing the small girl to be uncomfortable. "Ouch! Finny! Can you be gentle next time?" Cecilia asks shifting positions on his back.
"Oh! Sorry!"
"It's ok!"
Before long Finny had reached a large dark oak door with intricate patterns carved in making the door look much more elegant and professional. Cecilia gawks at the door,
'So advanced in so little time!' Attempting to knock on the door Finny accidentally sends the door flying open.
"Oopsy..." Finny scratches the back of his head as he looked apologetically at his startled Master, Ciel Phantomhive.
"Finny! What have I told you about your strength?! Call for me when your trying to open doors! Don't fling them open like that!" Ciel scolds before regaining his composure,
'Sorry Master.'
"Now. What is so important you had to come to me?" Ciel asks bluntly.
"Well... Master we have a guest! She's looking for her father Master!" Finnny replies shifting the girl of his back crouching down to allow Cecilia to climb off his back.
"Thank you Finny! You must be Mr Ciel Phantomhive, The current Earl of the Phantomhive Manor?" Cecilia states quizzically while Ciel is shocked at the advanced language from such a young girl.
"Yes I am, and may I ask what your name is?" Ciel asks staring into Cecilia's oddly cold onyx eyes, she sports a bright toothy grin hanging from ear to ear but no matter how Ciel looked her beautiful orbs which allowed sight showed no emotion. That was when Ciel noticed, a sort of firework design erupting from her pupils It was a pale red yet not pink Ciel trying to look closer noticed she was aware of him staring smiled tauntingly at the Earl who Cecilia knew wasn't listening to her story.
"... That's why I was in the garden Mi'Lord, I heard my father works in this estate." Cecilia finished.
"I see. I do not believe it is possible for any of my servants to be parent. Bard my cook was a soldier and only knew how to kill and there were no opportunity's for him, You have already met Finnny and it triggered no recognition, Tanaka isn't as young nor has he acquired a wife. You must've been mistaken, Either way if you could spare yours and your fathers full name perhaps I could get my butler to search?" Ciel bargains,
"Yes that would be appropriate." Cecilia nods."Sebastian! My study this instant!" Ciel commands to seemingly air, Cecilia deadpans concerned about Ciel trying to command someone who isn't even here.
"Uhm... Mi'Lord perhaps you could--" Cecilia, not even finishing her sentence a knock was heard,
"You called young Master?" Sebastian asks entering.
"Yes. We have an unexpected guest, this young maiden is looking for her father, insisting that he is servant here." Ciel states scrutinizing the small figure in front of him, From her loose curls of (h/c) locks, to Cecilia's colourful yet hollow onyx eyes her pupils were constricted showing how little interest Cecilia has allowing Ciel sight to the fact that Cecilia had central heterochromia, around her pupils were an oddly familiar pale red surrounded by a pale (e/c) becoming a bright almost neon colour before Ciel spots a dark ring of (e/c), trailing down he notices the once elegant pale white night gown to a tattered fabric left to ruin.
"May I see the guest Mi'Lord?" Sebastian asks although Ciel frowns at the sight,
"No, this won't do. Sebastian I require Mey-rin's assistance, Do be a good boy and fetch." Ciel orders tauntingly.***
Cecilia at age two, Suadade; the feeling of longing for something or someone you have lost.
Ciel at age eleven, Hiraeth; a homesickness for a home which you cannot return, which maybe never was. The nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the past.
Not much difference is there?
