Flame P.O.V

As Sebastian and I arrived at the door that leads to Ciel's study, I took a deep breath while trying to calm my nerves. Sebastian's hand rubbed my back comfortingly as I looked up at him and smiled.

"Oh come now, the Master isn't that scary." He winked and smirked. I pouted playfully and crossed my arms, ruffling up my shirt.

"I know that! Let's just go in." I huffed and glared slightly at Sebastian. He raised his hand to his mouth and chuckled before knocking on the wooden door in front of us.

"Master, I have arrived with Flame." Sebastian said and we heard a faint 'come in' from the other side of the doors. Sebastian opened the door and waited for me to walk in before walking in himself and putting a hand to his heart, bowing slightly to Ciel.

"Flame, sit." Ciel said as he pointed to a chair that was in front of his desk. I nodded hesitantly and sat down, looking at the Earl in front of me. He began tapping his fingers on the wood of the desk and moved his paperwork to the side.

"Now. I believe that without the circus, you have nowhere to go. Correct?" Ciel asked me, his question more of a statement.

"Yes..." I said, brushing back a few strands of hair and folding my hands in my lap.

"Well, now the Queen is satisfied with the death of Baron Kelvin, there is no need to keep the investigation going. Besides that, Sebastian and I were talking and I was wondering if you would like a position here as a maid. Mey-Rin needs all the help she can get and it will be good to have you seeing as you can handle fire well. What do you say?"

'Me? Maid at the Phantomhive Manor? Well I did NOT expect this! I expected him to say something like 'get your life together and once you have you can leave' but no! I don't have to leave Sebastian! I won't be alone!'

As I thought this, I snapped out of my trance and looked at Ciel with happiness in my eyes.

"Y-yes! I would love to! Thank you Lord Phantomhive!" With this I stood up from the chair and bowed to him.

"Well now that that is settled, Sebastian, show her to her room and give her a maid outfit. Also, I want some tea. Now go, I have work to be done." Ciel said as he waved us out of the room.

"Yes, my lord." Sebastian said as he walked out. Shortly after I curtsied and smiled wide.

"Thank you, young master." And with this I walked out with Sebastian.

He led me down the long hallway with lots of rooms. I heard a little girl giggling and a few crashes coming from a room not too far from us.

"Sebastian, who is making those noises?" I asked him as he sighed, rubbing his temples.

"This is when you'll meet the other servants that live in this manor." He said and we approached the door to the room with all the noise. He opened the door and I peeked over his shoulder.

'I guess this is the kitchen but, who are those people with Mey-Rin?' I thought as Sebastian moved out of the way, allowing me to get a better view.

In front of me I saw a tall man with blonde hair wearing an apron with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Next to him was a younger boy with blonde hair that was pinned back with red pins. He was also wearing gardening clothes. Behind him, the older man and Mey-Rin, there was a young girl that looked around the age of nine. She had long deep purple hair and violet eyes. I stared at them with curiosity in my eyes as I looked up at Sebastian.
