The Waves of Fate - Undertaker X Reader

07: Hopeful Dissatisfaction

A/N: HEY GUYS!! Sorry for not posting anything, but I went on a camping trip this weekend and didn't have time/energy to review this next chapter and post it. I think I'll plan on posting the next chapter as well. That way we can finally get some Undertaker action!

But, yeah. I think this is one of the last chapters that I've written that'll be building up the plot, a bit. Sure, there may be fillers and stuff, but now it can truly take off!!!

And if you guys have any ideas for characters you'd like to see, be my guest and share! I may add Madam Red... later. I kind of introduce the idea of having her in the story, but considering how quickly she's killed off in Black Butler, I'm not sure if I'll have Lena spend a lot of time with her... or not. I'm not sure yet. But, Marquis Midford will be introduced later, actually. I feel like there's a lot of potential in her character that hasn't been written about! And while I prefer her to have that blonde hair and green eye look, since the movie has shown her with graying hair and purple eyes, that's the Francis I'll be portraying. That's why I decided to have Lena with violet eyes in the first place.

But there you go! Hopefully I'll add more later... but for now, at least two chapters will be posted tonight. ENJOY!!!

!@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#@!

Today had been a very long day.

After reading the newspaper, you set off around the city job hunting. You slipped on a fairly normal outfit for a woman your age, but not as fancy as a noble. You figured out where to shop for a nice cheap alternative, and this way your 'social status' didn't make you stick out. Still, it was hard to find any sort of work, for a woman.

Most of the time you've been refused at the door, and other times you could tell they had some sick ulterior motive. You couldn't help but give up, at least for now. You had even downgraded your abilities to see if, perhaps, you could do some factory work, but even then, they had enough women, at the moment.

A tired sigh left your breath as you sat down at a circular single table, waiting for the waiter to come back with your light meal as your eyes began to gaze off of the balcony and towards the people below. Maybe you should buy some previsions after your meal. You didn't like the idea of using someone else's money, but you'll just keep track of it all. Yeah... you'll do that from now on, and pay the boy back later.

Speaking of the boy...

Your hand reached into a side pocket of your dress, and you honestly wished such a design was still a thing in your day. It makes things very convenient, but you decided to reread the letter with an irked look on your face.

Dear Lady Rose,

I wish to provide you for your basic living expenses, while you find work. I honestly do not see the need to find work, seeing as you can get anything you want from me, but I will give you the chance to be hopeful. It seems to me the times have changed by the time you are born, but in high society it is strange to see a woman working at all.

But, if you need help, I do have an aunt who is currently a doctor. I believe the medical profession is something you could be interested in. Her name is Baroness Angelina Dalles-Burnett. Goes by the name of Madam Red. She currently works at the Royal London Hospital. She can be a helpful guidance for you, for she does live in London, at the current moment. Tell her that I sent you.

Also be careful. London is a very dangerous place, especially at night. Do not be too far from home by yourself, especially at dusk. I understand if I sound like I worry, but I only want to make sure my relatives are taken care of.

I will also look into the matter we discussed, but even my butler has no leads on your predicament. I will send word if we do.

Enjoy London.
