38~ Little Lady ~
- Chapter 1 -
It was an early Friday afternoon, when Finnian was working in the garden of the Phantomhive manor. He had been sent out to prune the roses, after he almost set the house on fire.
He was carrying a large crate of the brand new silverware that Sebastian had ordered from overseas. As he was skipping down the hall he did not notice Pluto curled up on the floor, Finnian accidentally tripped over the demon dog and with a yelp, Pluto's fiery breath had set fire to the dark blue curtains. Finnian began to panic as the flames began to get bigger and bigger. " Help! FIRE, FIRE!" he screamed. Desperate to stop the fire, he began whacking the curtains with the large crate of expensive and fragile silverware. The flames crackled and sparked, setting fire to Finnian's shirt. "AHHHHH!" He wailed dropping the crate and patting the fire off of his clothes. The fire made a large hissing noise as a bucket of water was thrown onto it. Sebastian stood over Finnian with an irritated look on his face.
"What did you do to cause all of this?" so that's when Finnian was sent outside to finish pruning, while Sebastian continued to fix everybody's mistakes.
Finnian whistled a happy tune as he clipped the hedges into perfect squares. He suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the large group of bushes around the side of the manor. It was a sort of snuffling noise. He carefully pulled back the braches of the bush to see a small little girl sobbing softly into her dress. The girl only looked about 3 or 4 years old. She had long dark red hair that hung over her little pale face, and looked up at Finnian to reveal big green eyes.
"What are you doing in here, little girl?" Finnian asked softly crouching down to the girls level.
The girl wiped her eyes of her sleeves. "I'm lost."
Finnian smiled sympathetically "Don't worry why don't you come with me and we can help you find your family?"
"No," she girl shouted curling up in a ball. Finnian tilted his head slightly
"don't you want to find your family?"
"No," she mumbled into her knees.
"What's your name?" Finnian asked politely.
"Violet," the girl said reluctantly.
"That's a very nice name," Finnian smiled "If you come inside I'll get Sebastian to make you some cake,"
The girl looked up at Finnian and smiled. "I like cake," she said "especially chocolate cake but Alice says I shouldn't eat to much or I will get so big I won't be able get out the front door."
"Alright then," he smiled slightly confused. He took the little girls hand and lead her into the Phantomhive Manor.
"Will there be anything else?" Sebastian asked the young lord Phantomhive as he placed a silver platter of afternoon tea onto the large mahogany desk. Ceil looked up from the papers he was inspecting, and sighed.
"No, that will be all,"
Sebastian nodded, and turned to leave, but as he did there was a loud knock at the door. "Who is it now?" Ceil huffed, putting the papers down and folding his arms over his chest. Sebastian opened the door, and stared down at the blonde haired boy.
"Finnian, What did you do this time?" Ceil groaned.
Finnian shook his head "Nothing sir. But I did find this in the garden," He motioned for the little girl standing behind him to introduce her self, But she didn't move. Finnian scratched the back of his head, and laughed slightly "This is Violet,"
Sebastian sighed, "I told you to prune the roses, not to bring back a child,"
Ceil frowned down at the little girl. "What were you doing in my garden?" The girl looked up at Ceil sitting behind his desk then turned back to Finnian. "I thought you said there would be cake." She whined tugging on his shirt.
"Uhhh… you can have cake in a minute," he insisted "but first you have to tell lord Phantomhive what you were doing in his garden."
Violet turned to Ceil, frowning slightly "aren't you a little young to be a lord?"
Ceil glared down at the little girl "No. And stop changing the subject, Why were you in my garden?"
"I'm lost," she stated.
"Yes, yes, we already know that, but how did you get here?" Ceil groaned, already frustrated with the young child.
"Your very tall," she said to Sebastian. He smiled "Thank you,"
Ceil growled at the little girl. Not only was she avoiding his questions, she was wasting his time as well. "Sebastian!"
"Yes, milord," he nodded.
"Get this girl out of my sight!" Ceil shouted pointing down at Violet "and find where he family is, they shouldn't be far from here,"
Violet's eyes began to water and before long she was bawling her eyes out. "Sebastian! SHUT IT UP! NOW" Ceil roared over the little girls surprisingly loud crying. Sebastian leaned down to the little girls level and petted the top of the her head
"There, there" he whispered in a silky smooth voice. The girl stopped crying and stared up into Sebastian soft yellow eyes. "Its alright," he said soothingly stroking her head. Violet continued to stare into his mesmerising eyes.
"Your eyes are very pretty" the girl said quietly. Sebastian chuckled. The little girl wrapped her arms around Sebastian's neck and nuzzled into his neck "You smell just like Alice," Sebastian pondered this for a while before he lifted the girl into his arms and carried her out of the room, Finnian excused himself from the masters room, Ceil sighed with relief and went to eat some of his delicious cake, before he had to get back to work on that important murder case for the queen.
