Black Butler Short Stories

Claude; An Introduction

My eyes fluttered open as the sun gleamed through the curtains right upon my face blinding me. I shift my body the other way but to only have my blankets ripped away from me, " Hmngg why did you do that?" I curl up and stare at my maid, "You told me to ma'am. You said that even if you say no, to still wake you up." I groaned and sat up stretching my stiff muscles, " I hate myself for telling you that." I stood up and walked to my vanity and began to brush my hair, " The (F/C) one m'lady?" I nodded as she placed the dress upon my bed. " You may leave now if you wish." the maid stood and stared for a moment and began to walk but left a comment before leaving, " You're quite nice for a mistress. Thank you."

It's true I guess, I never liked having to rely on someone for everything, always dressing me, bathing me, feeding me then cleaning. Sure they cook and clean but sometimes I join and help out. Servants never get any credit for the hard work they give so I'm nice to them, might as well give them one nice boss in their lifetime. I finally finished dressing and I continued to the main dining room and sat across my servants as we all eat together, " this is quite a wonderful breakfast Lydia." the blonde maid smiled and we continued our meal. "Lady (F/N), would you like to see your schedule for today?" I nodded and smiled as I took the paper from my butler scanning the words and times and placing it into my memory, I looked up at my faithful servants and gave them a big smile, " You all may do whatever you'd like to do today, think of it as a day off I have to be somewhere today." the servants all smiled and thanked me as they finished their meal and walked away to do their things. " Its a birthday party, lets just get her a gift to be nice and then leave." my butler walked out with me and helped me into the carriage, "M'lady you're no longer one for parties." my butler stated staring at me in worry, "I'm getting older every year and I'm single, I'm tired of going out trying to find a man and going out at all." the butler gave me a worried look but decided to leave the matter alone yet mumbling, "You're lonely."

For hours we walked around the city and searched for a nice present for our dear friendś fiance Elizabeth until we found a dress shop. "Perfect!¨ my butler and I ran into the shop finding the girliest dress and got it boxed with a pretty pink bow. "Let's go to the phantomhivés manor now." the butler laughed, "what about your dress?" I looked at him and gave a little spun, ¨ I'm wearing a dress am I not?" we both laughed and proceeded to the manor.

Finally the carriage stopped and I was helped by Ciel's butler who then led me inside, "The party should begin shortly, Ciel Phantomhive is very thankful that you came to celebrate Lady Elizabeth's birthday." I placed her gift upon a table towards one side of the room and then proceeded to go to the other hopefully finding food. Eating some food I stand and stare as guests begin to fill the main room and music began to play, being the awkward and anti-social person I am I stare at my feet and continue eating. I notice a black spot on my (F/C) shoes and normally i'd either shake my foot or flick it off. 

So I did. 

It moved.

I freak out a little but attempt to freak out silently as people were around me, rigorously shaking my foot and using anything I can to get the damn spider off my foot. There's a friggin spider on my foot and it wont come off, "Miss, is there something of the matter?" a deep voice asks me not knowing who it is and not caring, "No. There's a spider and Its on me and I-I cant get it off of me and I don't really like uh ah-" the spider began crawling up my shoe towards my leg and i began to slightly raise my voice but not too loud to ruin a party. "Stand still" I look up to see a butler similar to Cielś just with glasses, he bends down and picks the spider off my shoe and holds it up. "you just picked it up. Why. No. Oh my. A spider." a look of terror upon my face showed a fear or a dislike for these creatures and the butler chuckled.  "This little thing can't hurt you, watch don't freak out" I intensely stare at his hand and watch how he puts the spider onto mine making me shut my eyes, "It'll just sit there, see its not too bad just a little fluffy like a dog perhaps. If you like dogs that is" His monotone voice rang through my hears and his soft cold hand took the spider once more and let it crawl up the walls. I stared at his golden eyes memorized and spoke, "I admire that you like spiders, not many people do" the strange quite man pushed his glasses up, "Well I'm not like many people."  I smiled and and let out a giggle, "Interesting, Whats your name?"

"Claude Faustus M'lady and I hope we can meet again"

Lemme know if y'all want a separate book with Claude this could be the beginning of it. Also sorry this was kinda long for a 'short story'
