A Little Hope (A Black Butler Fan Fiction)

Six

Your family loves the cat you found. Her name is Hope. Jiana giggles, "A little Hope in a time of grief." You liked that, it was cute. You really like Hope. She is really sweet. Th clock strikes 11. It is time to go to the Phantomhive manor. It would take an hour to get there.

"Jiana, please stay here and watch Hope. Jerrod come with me," you order. Jiana curtsies and Jerrod bows. You walk out to the front of the manor where a carriage waits for you. Jerrod helps you into the carriage and closes the door. He walks over to steer the horses. Your family and the servants wave goodbye to you. You wave back. You are soon off and ready for the long ride.

*time skip*

Your carriage stops in front of the Phantomhive manor. You are helped out by Jerrod.... Wait... That hand was not Jerrod's you look to see Ciel's butler. The tall one with raven hair and red eyes. "I am Sebastian. The head butler of the Phantomhive manor. My young master has been awaiting your arrival Lady (y/n)," he says. Sebastian does a closed-eye smile. You return the smile as he guides you through the maze of Ciel's manor. Jerrod close behind you. He stared in deep hatred at the Phantomhive butler. You let it slide. Sebastian knocks on a white door.

"Come in," a voice replies.

Sebastian opens the door revealing Ciel sitting behind a desk. He fakes a smile when he sees you. Sebastian sits you down on the chair in front of the desk. Ciel motions the two servants out of the room and they leave. Ciel looks into your eyes, "I'm sorry." His eye shows a sad expression as he stares into your (e/c) eyes.

A tear forms in one of your eyes, "It isn't your fault." You quickly brush away the tear on your face. "It was mine."

"What?" Ciel eye is filled with disbelief, "Tell me one way it was your fault (y/n)."

"I had a nightmare about the same thing. I blacked out when I shouldn't have. I promised my little sister that nothing would go wrong that night," you sigh, tears steaming down your face. You look down, "I could have saved them."

Ciel raises his voice a bit, "It was not your fault Lady (y/n)! I should've ran after you when that man grabbed you. I didn't though. I feel terrible for how I acted." Ciel takes his hand and picks your head up. He wipes away your silent tears and brings his hands back to his desk. He stands up and walks around his desk to you. Ciel holds his hand out to you, "Would you like to walk around in the garden?" You nod and take his hand. From the rumors you heard, Ciel wasn't normally like this. He was normally stubborn and a  little rude. Maybe he was just different with you since you are recently going  through some things similar to his past.

Ciel walks you into the garden and sits you down on a chair. He sits in a chair next to you. Silent tears roll down your checks. You stare dead on ahead. Ciel looks at you. Suddenly a blonde boy runs up to you and Ciel. He seemed to look like a child. "It is a pleasure to meet you Lady (y/n)," he says to you. You nod.

Ciel sighs in frustration, "Finny, why are you here?"

Finny shows a bit of fear for a moment, "I just wanted to meet Lady (y/n)."

"Well while you are here, please help me cheer Lady (y/n) up," Ciel says. Finny nods and runs off into the garden. You look down at your feet. You knew you would be staying here for three days. You didn't really want to stay here overnight, but you wanted someone to talk to other that your servants and siblings. Finny quickly returns with a beautiful Magnolia flower. He places the flower in your hair and smiles at you. You force a smile while looking at him. Ciel motions for Finny to leave the two alone. Finny quickly runs into the manor to help the others. Ciel lays his hand on your shoulder, "Would you like to walk around now (y/n)." You nod. You both stand up and walk around the beautiful floral scenery.

Ciel noticed something different about you. You were quieter compared to the first time you met. He wants to comfort you so badly. He wants to brush away your tears and wrap his arms around you, but he doesn't. He feels that he would be unfaithful to Elizabeth if he did. More tears slide down your face. It makes Ciel feel guilty, like somehow he is the cause of all your pain. It made Ciel wanna cry, but he held back his tears. He wanted to seem strong to you. He sighs. You notice his sigh, "Do you not like my company Ciel?" you ask, "I can under stand why."

Ciel shakes his head, "Not a chance Lady (y/n)." You nod a notice (f/f) over to your right. You just ignore them though. Was it a bad idea to come to Ciel's manor?
