Your P.O.V

       My eyes slowly began to open and when I opened them I jumped up In shock that I was no longer on the street. The room was really dark except for the moon illuminating the room, giving it somewhat a glow. "It's still dark out," I mumbled. I took my phone out of my pocket to see the time and it was 4:28 in the morning. I turned on the light on my phone so I could see. I sat up and placed my feet on the floor. I wasn't as weak as I was before. I felt very powerful and alert. I approached the door and prepared myself to wander the halls of what seemed to be a mansion, to hopefully find someone or get a grasp on where I was.

       I stepped out of the room and then I found myself walking down a really long corridor with doors all the way through. It was like walking through a hotel hallway. I saw the steps and made my way down them being very careful with my footing. Where I appeared to be seemed to be the main floor. I could see the front door. It was huge. I looked up and what I saw was a beautiful chandelier in the middle of the ceiling.

       "This place is absolutely beautiful." I thought. I took a moment to soak in the area. That was until I suddenly heard a sound come from the left of me. It sounded like someone snapped their fingers. I felt like something was trying to catch my attention. I usually wouldn't go to investigate something like that but I felt very bold at the moment. As if, I was fearless.

       I made my way towards it. I then found myself in a large library with what seemed like there were an endless amount of books. Nothing like the libraries I've been in. "Whoa, I've never been in a library quite like this before." I gazed at all the books. It wasn't organized the same way it would be in an actual library, and there seemed to be a lot more books here than there would be in a public library. I leaned in to grab a book but suddenly I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I froze in fear. The touch was cold and bitter. I turned around only to see Sebastian standing there.

       "Hello there madam, sorry to startle you. I welcome you to the Phantomhive estate." Sebastian said giving me a smile which appeared to be sweet but I didn't trust the soft appearance he was providing. I stared at him silently not knowing what to say at that moment, but I felt slightly relieved to see him. I was a bit amazed too. He looked even better in person. "Um, hi." I struggled to say. "If you don't mind, I would like to share a conversation with you. There are a few questions I have that I would like you to answer if it isn't too much trouble." He said politely and reassuringly. He bowed and put out his hand for me to take. My heartbeat began to pick up a bit. I was very hesitant of taking his hand but after a few moments I had finally worked up the nerve to grab it. My hand was sweaty and my heart was racing. I was nervous. I took a deep breath, trying to regain myself. I was here with the one and only Sebastian Michaelis. I didn't know how to react or feel.

       He led me upstairs to a room that looked very familiar. "I've seen this room in multiple episodes. It's one of their most common rooms presented on the show." I thought. It looked a lot like the one where Ciel plays chess sometimes if not most of the time. He let go of my hand as we entered the room.

       I made my way to where Ciel would sit to play a game of chess. I sat in his chair and it was surprisingly comfortable. It was so soft. That's expected from a luxurious mansion.

       As soon as Sebastian finished lighting up the room he sat right across from me. He gave me a stare. Much different from moments ago. He was wearing a much more devilish smile now. It changed the atmosphere of the room. He took in a deep breath and started to speak.

       "So Madam, how did you kn--" I cut him off. I sat up in my seat. I didn't like the energy Sebastian was giving off. It made me feel powerless, nervous and cornered. I decided to take control. "Sebastian before you ask anything let me explain how I know you, who I am, and other complicated things you might not understand. I assume that's what you are going to ask me." He was a bit shaken by my change in action. I took off my jacket and stood up. I first walked towards him and took his hand. I stared at him as I took off his glove off. He didn't stop me either. I watched his eyes glow pink. As did the symbol on his hand. "First of all, I know what you are. Let's get that out of the way." I gave him his glove back. "I'm surprised you aren't slightly phased by that. Definitely not a reaction you get around here. Most are usually petrified and run for miles." He said giving a chuckle. "Should I be?" I questioned giving a smile. He just stayed silent.
