I watched the butler walk towards me. He had messy black hair and brown eyes. I was scared, I was told to kill him. I didn't want to...he made me.
"Bernadette. I would like to offer you a job." he said helping me up. I kept a tight hold on my pistol.
"What is it sir?" I was an 11 year old assassin.
"Will you become a maid in the Phantomhive House hold? In this position you will have to protect the manor."
I shook his hand, and smiled "Of course, Sir."
That was the day I, Bernadette Delaney started working for Ciel Phantomhive.

I looked at Mey-Rin, who was freaking out because she used shoe polish, on the banister. I almost laughed. I walked down the stairs, my maid dress ruffling as I walked. My maid dress, was simple black dress, white apron and white gloves. I always wore boots, as well. I ran my feather duster across the banister, as Sebastian walked past me. Not sparing me so much as a glance.
I sighed and finished dusting. I then walked into Mr.Phantomhive's study to dust the book shelves, he was building a house of cards. I was careful not to disturb him, as I got to the higher shelves, it got harder and harder. I eventually gave up, Sebastian will get it later. I slowly started getting down from the ladder when Lady Elizabeth ran in, scaring both me and Ciel. I fell off of my ladder and Ciel's card house fell also.
Elizabeth, didn't even notice when I fell, and she went right into learning how to play chess. I got up and grabbed my duster. I heard gun shots and ran out side. People were attacking the manor. I pulled my pistols out of my boots and fired. One of the men grabbed me, and I kicked and kicked. My pistols were knocked out of my hands, I had tears streaming down my face as memories I tried so hard to forget appeared.
I woke up in the middle of the night, I heard mother scream and a gun shot. I quietly snuk into the living room, to see my big brother Bernard get shot. I gasped and ran to him, forgetting the man who shot him. Bernard was coughing up blood.
"Bernie! Please don't leave me." I cried, the man picked my up at the waist and carried me away, I kicked and screamed until I was unconscious.
When I woke up, I was beaten and trained as an assassin.
I gasped and kept fighting. I was not giving up that easily. I smashed my head against his nose, breaking it. He dropped me and I kicked him in the head. He then dropped to the ground, I then ran back towards the manor where Mey-Rin threw me another pistol. I quickly shot 3 more people, then there were no more. I quickly realized I was wrong when I was shot in the shoulder. I turned around quickly, and saw a face I never thought I would see again. He still had the same, warm chocolate brown eyes just like me. Then only difference was his hair was midnight black like our father's.
"Bernard...?" I called out holding my shoulder.
He looked like he just saw light for the first time. He dropped the gun and got on his knees. He started to mumble. I looked into his warm brown eyes to see he was fighting something, something was taking control of him. He threw me away form him as he picked up his pistol.
With one more pained look he whisperer "Shoot Me."
I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I saw Mey-Rin look at me, I slowly nodded my head. She shot him right in the head, he wasn't going to survive this one. I then saw a man with long red hair and green eyes walk towards us carrying scissors. He snipped my brother's arm then a film came out of his chest. I watched my brother's life play before my very eyes. I was amazed at the beating he got and the will power he had to have. He had years of mental torture, before they took hold of him.
I looked at the man "Who are you?"
Just as he was about to answer Sebastian walked outside "An imbecile."
"Oh Sebby, your just jealous. I my sweet flower, am Grell. Would you like to take a walk with me?"
"No....She has work to do, you may leave Grell." Sebastian said then dragged me inside.
I don't know why Sebastian had to do that, the servants are the only ones who notice me, and talk to me. If I wanted to go on a walk I may, I'm finished all of my chores anyways. I looked up at Sebastian, he had finally let go of my arm, I swiftly turned around and walked into the garden, Sebastian trailing me. I sat down near the rose bushes, they were in full bloom.
I sighed and looked up at him, his brown eyes, looked annoyed.
"You don't have to babysit me Sebastian. You have better things to do." I said getting up.
"Well, I actually don't. I want to get to now you better, nobody knows much about you." he said sitting me back down on the grass across from him.
"That's because there is nothing left to tell. I'm an orphan. I just recently found you my brother is alive only to have Mey-Rin shoot him upon my request. I am a nobody, I take my orders and fulfill them that is all." I said getting up and walking into the smoking kitchen. I scowled at Bard and began cleaning up the kitchen.
"Sorry, Bernadette." he said helping me clean up, once that was done, I ate and went to bed. On my way there I noticed Elizabeth snooping through my belongings.
"Lady Elizabeth! This is not proper, please do get out of my room." I said firmly, she dropped a book in her hands, it was my diary. It held everything important to me. I scowled at the girl, these were my personal belongings, she had no right to go through them. Nobel or not!
"Oh you poor girl. You know your just like Ciel, both lost everything important to them. Oh this is simply tragic and you never say a word nor cry a single tear. But you can't hide it from me, your broken. So broken beyond repair. Oh, Bernadette please let me help fix you?" she said engulfing me into a huge hug which I did not return.
"I am not broken, any more than Mr.Phantomhive. I have no need to be fixed, I lose everything yes but that does not mean I am broken. Everybody looses, in the end Elizabeth. I can hide it from you I hide it from everybody." With that I jumped out of her arms running into the forest, I knew this forest liek the back of my hand. I couldn't help it I let the tears flow freely, I hated it when people brought it up, I really am broken. I know I am broken, I just have nobody to help put me together again. I don't want to get close to anyone. I don't want them hurt.
I heard a twig snap and I turned around to see Pluto, he was in human form and in a suit. I hugged him sobbing into his shirt.
"Oh, Pluto! Nobody loves me, I only have you who understands. I just can't take it anymore, I need somebody to love me. But, I don't want to hurt anyone."
I turned around to be greeted by white feathers.
"I can't get hurt."
