Dark Crow's Jewel ~Kuroshitsuji Fan Fiction~

Chapter Six

Ciella was in pure shock. The life she knew wasn't her life at all. She had never imagined in all her years that she was a noblewoman and heiress to an estate. Her whole world had been turned upside down and now here she was. She was to live in an elegant manor, eat only the finest and fancy foods, and wear fine expensive clothes. Sebastian had shown her in and all the servants were there to greet her. There was a maid with purple-redish hair and enormous glasses, the cook with blonde hair, an elderly manservant and a gardener with a straw hat. They all welcomed their new mistress to the household cheerfully. "Welcome back, Mistress Ciella!"

"Mistress Ciella? That'll take some getting used to.." She said as she looked up then around.

"Miss, this is Mey-Rin, Bardroy, Tanaka and Finnian." They all smiled and waved. "They are the household staff here at the Phantomhive manor." Ciella nodded as she kept glancing around.

"Mey-Rin, show the Mistress to her new room."

Ciella's eyes widened."N-new room?"

Mey-Rin grinned and saluted him. "Yes, sir!" She began to escort Ciella up the stairs and down a hallway. "You'll love it here, Mistress. We have the gardens, the library and wonderful food cooked right here in the kitchen..." Ciella had droned the maid out as she kept staring at all the elegance. She had partially grown up in an Undertaker parlor so she had no idea what half of the items throughout the manor were. She felt out of her element.

"Umm..miss? Are you okay?" Mey-Rin had stopped talking, noticing her distraction.

Ciella didn't even hear Mey-Rin speak to her, she was still glancing all around. Only when a hand was placed on her shoulder, did she snap out of her trance.

"Yes? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just not used to all of this..." She said, her voice was beginning to grow to a whisper again.

Mey-Rin couldn't help but show a smile down at Ciella. "Do not worry, Young Mistress. You'll get used to it in no time, yes you will." She then continued to tour, soon arriving to her room.When Mey-Rin opened the white wooden door, Ciella's eyes widened. The bed was very large for someone her size, the beding was pure white with pink rose decor. The curtains were a light pink with white lace, there was a dark wooden bookcases and nightstands with black lamps. In the closet were many silk gowns to fit her fragile body, there were even different shoes to her size. Ciella didn't know what to say, she was speechless.

"I hope this is all to your liking, Young Mistress." Mey-Rin smiled, bowing beside she then noticed Ciel in the door way. "Oh, Master Ciel. I was only showing Mistress Ciella her bedroom." She held a smile on her lips.

Ciel nodded and watched Ciella as she walked around the room. He could see Sebastian took care of her injures, seeing how she had patches and bandages all over her. "Thank you, Mey-Rin. Leave us for now." He ordered. Mey-Rin nodded, bowed and left the room.

"How do you like your new home?" Ciel asked as he walked into her room.

"It's...it's different than what I am used to." She said, running her fingers across the dressers then mirror. "Does father know I'm here?" She finally asked but it was in a mere whisper.

Ciel gave a shake of his head. "No he doesn't. Not yet." He walked in and closer to her, "Listen, I know this is all new and confusing to you but you have two homes now..I want you to come here and live with me but I won't force you if you don't want to..."

Ciella glanced at him but wouldn't look at him completely. "I know that it's all true...I just don't know what to do. I've known my father for six years, he took me in and raised me." She said softly as her fingers lightly touched the bruise on her cheek. "I want to stay but I want to be able to see father as well."
