~Gracie’s POV~

 

This mansion was amazing!  I was still a bit frazzled about his weird time travel thing but, at least I get to be here. I have never been anywhere so big, the orphanage didn’t have that many kids and the ones they did ‘care for’ shared beds with my brother and I in a two room living space.

Anyway, I got to meet most of the servants who are all very, well not so smart and slightly clumsy.  Bard, Finny, and Mey Rin were all very much like the description Sebastian gave me.  When we visited the kitchen to see how lunch was going, we found the whole room was black with charcoal and ash.  Sebastian said he would come back in a few minutes once it was cleaned and make the food himself. The gardens, most of the gardens, were gorgeous and well kept.  White roses were everywhere! The number of live flowers slowly decreased as I looked more to the left, sadly because Finny was there.  Mey Rin seemed to have broken every single vase, plate, glass, even a portrait of some factory. . .How?  Snake definitely lived up to his name, he talked to every snake he saw, If I asked one of them a question, He would tell me what their answer was with ease.

My brother had woken up now too. He wasn’t very happy that he was being forced to work and live here; he was happy, however, that I was okay and that they took us in.  He was also confused about how we got here too, he has no idea how we got here either.  We were currently back in the study discussing how.

“What is the last thing you remember?” Ciel asked Danny, Sebastian was preparing Lunch.

“I remember running away and making it to an empty alley, that’s where we slept.”  Ciel thought for a moment, then looked at me, then to my hands which resting on the arm of the chair I was sitting in.  His eyes widened.

"Where did you get that ring?"  He stood up from his chair, his hands slamming onto the table, Danny did the same to intimidate him, they both made me jump.

I couldn't speak because he looked so menacing. Danny spoke for me, "I gave it to her, what's it to yuh?"

"Where did you get it?"  He calmed down and looked back down at me for a second then turned his head away, "Sorry."

"It's okay. I think Danny got it from an old shop before we found the alley."  He nodded.  Ciel digested this and slowly nodded too. "Why do you ask?"

He thought a second more then sat back down, Danny sat back down but stayed a bit tense. "I have one just like it.  It's been past down in my family for generations."  He stared at it fondly, "It marks the head of the family and the company."

"You're in charge? Where are your parents?"  Danny asked.  Ciel looked at him, I could see some hurt but it was quickly filled with anger and annoyance.

"It's none of your business!"

"It is my business if I'm gonna be working for you!"  He rolled his eyes and thought for another moment.

“Fine, you insolent twit,”  He mumbled, “I am Ciel Phantomhive, head of Phantomhive Manor, my family, and the Funtom Toy company.  My parents have been dead for 5 years now and since then I’ve been in charge with Sebastian by my side."

We sat in silence for a minute before Danny spoke again, "I'm sorry for your loss."

"It's fine,"  He had calmed down, "You two have been alone much longer than I have."

"Have you ever had any trouble?"  I asked hesitantly.  He looked at me with a light smile.

"More than you can imagine."

"Oh."

"How did your parents die?"  Danny asked, Ciels eyes. . .eye, had shown a bit of pain. He looked down again.
