"CLEAN THIS UP!" "Y-yes Master!" I run towards my Master Richard, to clean up the broken glass and tea. I start grabbing the broken pieces of the tea cup. "Ow!" A tiny piece of glass cut my hand, making it bleed a little. "I TOLD YOU TO CLEAN THIS UP!" Master Richard grabbed his whip, and proceeded to whip me. Lashing at my back. I yelped in pain, but I clenched my jaw to keep my screams from escaping. "WHAT TYPE OF MAID ARE YOU IF YOU CAN'T EVEN CLEAN UP BROKEN GLASS!?" He continued to beat me, but this time, I couldn't hold my screams in. I screamed in agony as the whip dug into my skin, drawing blood. "Shut up you filthy peasant!" My nails dug into the carpet, and my claws began to form. No. Please. PLEASE. NO.

My claws had a mind of its own, that even I couldn't control. My hand swung at my Master, uncontrolled. It hit his leg making my claws dig into his skin. He screamed in pain as my claws wouldn't stop. My other hand swung at his stomach; cutting his flesh down to his groin. He screamed in agony and fright. PLEASE! I BEG YOU. STOP! My claws faded away into tiny blue light, as my tears streamed down my face and my blood, trickled down my back. My master bled slightly, for I mearly cut him, but not deep enough to draw much blood to the surface. "Please Master... forgive me. Please! I swear to you it will not happen again." My master Richard's breathing was steady. He let out 2 measly words. "Get..... out." My heart stopped. "....What?" His breathing got heavier. "GET.OUT! YOU ARE DONE HERE! YOU ARE FIRED!" "B-but master.." "No! You will not Master me any longer! Get out of my house!" Richard grabbed me by my hair and dragged me out of the house and threw me down the stairs. I yelped in pain as my body hit every stair on my way down. When I hit the ground, I felt a sharp pain shoot through my arm, as if I fractured it. I heard the door slam shut, making the ground rumble. I sat up and clenched my arm as it throbbed in pain. I couldn't move my hand. I couldn't move my arm. I held on my arm tightly as I ran towards the town. I had no where to live. No food. No shower. I was on my own.

Night had fallen. I heard the howls of
Hounds. I shivered at the thought of one finding me. I walked towards an alley way and sat down. A stray black cat walked towards me. "Oh. Hello kitty." The cat stopped and snarled at me. "No kitty I won't hurt you." The cat hissed at me and scratched my arm. I yelped in pain. The cat hissed at me again, causing me to stand up. "Please kitty. I just want to pet you. I won't hurt you." I reached for the cat again, but this time the cat ran towards me. I ran away towards a shop. I hid in the door way to keep from being seen by the cat. I heard silence. Suddenly..... I hear thousands of 'meow's coming from the direction I ran from. I turn to peak over the corner only to see thousands of cats running towards me. I grab the doorknob of the shop and try to force it open. It won't budge. I beat on the door only to draw attention to my wear abouts. I turn around only to be face by thousands of cats. There was silence...... and then one single 'meow'. All the cats lunged at me, cutting into my flesh and scratching me all over. I screamed in pain to find that the cats were trying to eat me. Pieces of my flesh fell on the ground and cats dove towards it to eat it. All of their eyes were red. I was petrified. I push the door to the shop. "Please open. Please!" The door won't budge. I threw my weight into the door as it swung open. I fell on the ground, kicking all of the cats off of me. As soon as all the cats were off me, I slammed the door shut. The 'meow's and scratching at the door came to a stop and silence fell upon the shop. I got up and walked around. I saw stuffed animals that lined the walls. I saw Noah's ark in a box. I saw different toys that filled the store.
I must be in a toy store. I grabbed a cute stuffed teddy bear and sat down by the desk. My cuts bled but I didn't care. I just wanted to sleep. So I drifted off to sleep with a cute little teddy bear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I awoke to the sound of beating on the door. I jumped up to see that it was a man trying to open the door. I was so startled I couldn't move. When he finally opened the door I jumped behind the counter to hide. "Well, the shop was in order when I closed yesterday. I think someone mush have broken in Mr. Ciel Phantomhive." My heart stopped. Phantomhive? The successful toy company!? Who is the head of the Phantomhive company? Who is this Ciel? My mind was over run with questions. I heard footsteps approaching the counter. "Is that blood?" I heard a young man's voice ask. I heard an older voice, Smooth like butter, say, "I believe so my lord." My my. He sure does sound charming. I turn to peak over the corner of the desk to meet a hand held out towards me. "You can come out my lady." The older man's voice was so smooth and charming that I followed his words out from behind the counter. I see a young boy around the age of 13 to 16 wearing a top hat, trench coat and an eyepatch. Each of them were blue and black. His hair was a silky blue and his eye was sapphire. He carried a walking cane which was black with a gold handle with intricate designs carved into it. He wore brown shoes with a gold buckle on them. He looked as if he was rich. Filthy rich at that. Beside him stood a tall man with pale white skin. He had raven black hair along with a black tail coat and white gloves. His eyes were a ruby red and his smile was gorgeous. He had a silver pocket watch that connected from one pocket to the other. A black tie was around his neck. He seemed to be the young boy's butler. "State your name and reason of presence.", the young boy stated. "M-my name is (y/n). I was a maid at the Berrara Mansion." The young boy looked at his butler, and back at me. "And why are you here?" I looked down at the ground. "I was......fired.... and I had no place to go. I was attacked by night crawlers and I rushed in here to keep from getting devoured. This was the only place of shelter I had.." the older man looked at me with a concerned look on his face. He walk to me and held his hand up. As a natural reaction, I flinched and put my hands up in defense. He sighed. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He looked concerned. "Sebastian, what are you doing?" The young boy asked. The older man known as Sebastian, turned me around to show my back to the young boy. "She appears to have been beaten, my lord. For quite a while now." I sighed and looked at the ground. I don't want them to think of me as a troubled girl. I'm not troubled. I'm just..... The young boy threw his walking stick towards the other side of the room. I sprinted and grabbed the walking stick before it hit the ground. Sebastian was still standing where he was before. I walked towards the door and hung the walking stick up on the wall. I bowed. The young boy looked at me confused and a little agitated. "It wasn't your job to grab the walking stick." I bowed. "I'm sorry young lord. It was a reaction." He looked at Sebastian. "It was your job." Sebastian smirked. "I knew she would run and grab it." The young boy glared at Sebastian. The butler smirked and the young boy nodded. The butler took his arms and swept all of the toys off of the shelves. It was so fast I couldn't even see him do it. Before the toys could hit the ground, I ran and caught most of them with my not hurt arm. 3 hit the ground. I lined the shelves with the toys once again. I grabbed the last one and dusted it off and set it back on the shelf again. I bowed. "I'm sorry I let one hit the ground. I just wasn't fast enough." The young boy smirked. "Would you like to work at my manor?" My eyes shot wide open. I nodded fiercely. "It would be an honor young lord." Sebastian smirked. He winked at me. I looked down flustered. The young boy chuckled. "Very well. If you wish to work at my manor, you will have to pass a test. Come Sebastian. This case is closed." "Certainly my lord." Sebastian ushered me towards the door. I followed behind him. A test? Well, no matter what I must pass. I cannot fail. I cannot go back.... I will try my best. Even If it kills me.
