(Bre's P.O.V.)

                I was standing in the dining hall, where Lord Phantomhive would soon be having his breakfast. Eventually, the young Lord entered into the room, sitting down as he was served his meal by Sebastian. A few moments went by, and all was fairly peaceful. That was of course, until Grell's wailing came fast from down the hall. Before anyone had time to react, she came crashing into the room on a cart, spilling hot tea all over the shirt of the gardener whose name I learned is Finnian, or Finny for short. 

        "Hot! Hot! Hot!" Finny screamed, dancing around, trying to hold the hot parts of his shirt away from his body. "Oh dear! I'm so terribly sorry! Here! I-I'll wipe it off!" Grell shouted frantically, as she reached for a napkin on the table. However, she managed to grab the table cloth as well, dragging everything including the poor Young Lord's meal with it. Realizing what she had done, she made overly dramatic gestures of apology and wound up exclaiming that the only way for her to end her trouble making, was to end her own life. That is where I decided to intervene. "Now Grell, I'm sure there's a better way. Not only would you make a huge mess, but don't you think ending your own life over carelessly spilled tea is a bit dramatic?" I questioned her in a cheerful voice. 

              I gave her a bright closed eyed smile, tilting my head to the side like a curious dog would. Despite my cheerfulness, Grell could clearly tell how displeased I was, along with Sebastian of course. Out of fear, Grell instantly lowered the knife down. "Y-Yes, I suppose you're right." Grell said nervously, as a shiver visibly ran down her spine. "Good, now then" I said, walking over to Lord Phantomhive and bowing respectfully towards him, "I do apologize for the trouble Grell has caused you. I hope that it has not been too big of a bother for you my Young Lord." I said as cheerfully and respectfully as ever. I really hated this stupid persona of mine. 

         He briefly looked at me, before sighing while pinching the bridge of his nose in clear frustration. "It's fine" He said, before Sebastian started going on about how to properly make tea. I tuned him out of course, already knowing how to do so. Shortly after he finished that little lecture, he and Lord Phantomhive made their way out. Apparently, the young Lord was in need of a new walking stick. Meanwhile, all of us servants went out to tend to the garden. During which time, it was discovered that Lord Phantomhive's manor had actually been burnt down two years ago, killing his parent along with it. The manor that stands now is merely a replica. "Oh how terrible, that poor boy" Grell said, snipping away at the shrub she was currently trimming. 

                "Yes, how terrible indeed." I said, looking away at the ground with a saddened gaze. Suddenly, the maid I was training named Mey-Rin, let out a loud wail of fright. We all looked to see what the matter was, only to see that Grell had turned all of the shrubs into the shape of skulls. Grell began freaking out and tried to hang herself this time. Meanwhile, I simply started darting around the garden, fixing the shrubs that Grell had ruined. By the time I finished, Grell was being dragged off by a blur of blonde and orange. 

             The rest of the servants and I chased after them in order to save Grell, but it was too late. The girl had already turned her into a dangling decoration for a now very pink and frilly room. "Isn't he just lovely?" She exclaimed happily. I decided to take this chance to annoy my sister while still keeping up my act. "Why, yes he is indeed. But, don't you believe he is far too masculine for this lovely room you have decorated Mi'Lady? Ge might do better sitting in the corner away from anyone's immediate eye, don't you think?" I responded ever so cheerfully, throwing in a small bow while I was at it. I could tell Grell was rather annoyed by this point, judging from the irk mark on her face. But she couldn't react because of the acts we have to put on.

        "Why, I think you might be right. But we'll live him there for now. In the meantime, we should get the rest of you lot looking absolutely adorable!!!" She responded, before darting towards the rest of us. She put us all in frilly and ridiculous outfits. This included dressing Finny and I as cat maids. Did I mention that I absolutely despise cats? Such filthy creatures they are. So manipulative and cunning. They stick their wretched claws into anything the please. Selfish they are, cats. I hate them. (A/N: I don't actually hate cats, but my OC does, you'll see why later)

         Luckily it wasn't too much longer after that nightmare occurred, that we heard Lord Phantomhive and Sebastian returning to the Manor. The Phantomhive servants immediately stampeded out of the room and raced off towards Sebastian. I contemplated following them to further my act, but thought against it, and decided to mess with Grell some more. I mean, she's my big Sister, why wouldn't I? I decided to spin her around real fast, which made her let out a blood curdling scream. This of course brought everyone into the room again, and caused Lord Phantomhive's face to drop in complete horror. Then he saw Grell, and his expression changed to that of pure annoyance. "What are you doing now Grell?" he questioned in a frustrated tone. "I believe I'm in the process of dying at the moment, Master Ciel." Grell struggled to respond, still annoyed by me spinning her. Lord Phantomhive let out a sigh of frustration. "Sebastian, get him down from there." Lord Phantomhive ordered him. "Yes My Young Lord" Sebastian responded, before beginning to walk over to Grell.

           However, before he could reach Grell, the blonde and orange blur that caused this mess went speeding past him, and tackled poor Lord Phantomhive. She was going on and on about how cute the young boy was. Them she explained why she was there, and why she made everything so "cute and adorable". By the time that was over, Sebastian was in a pink bonnet, and she was racing off with Grell to prepare for a ball she suddenly decided to hold. It was clear that this headache of a mess, was no joy ride for the young Lord either. But as it turns out, the crazed girl was his bride-to-be, so he had no choice but to let it all happen. 

            Finally, after everyone was out of the room, I removed myself from the shadows I had hidden myself in. I refused to let myself be seen in such a ghastly costume. I quickly removed all of the pieces that made me resemble a cat, glaring at them with disgust in my eyes. It would have been nearly impossible to keep up my act had everyone seen me in such a get up. "My my, you sure do seem to hate that costume." I suddenly heard from behind me. I immediately turned around to be faced with Sebastian. "Oh! Hello there Sebastian! I didn't see you there. I thought you were with the young Lord!" I exclaimed in surprise, immediately slipping into my cheerful act. "You can drop the act you know. It seems utterly painful for you. I won't tell Madam Red either, you can't fool me." he said in that sarcastically courteous voice of his. I didn't even argue against him like my sister would have. I was far too tired and annoyed to do so. Instead, I let out an exasperated sigh and let the mask drop. "Whatever, I know you have a reason for sticking around here, what is it that you want from me?" I questioned him, my gaze hardened with suspicion. "Oh nothing at all really. I just wanted to ask you a few questions, if you wouldn't mind my doing so." He said to me in that same voice of his.

                "What is it that you're trying to dig around for now demon?" I snapped at him, my gaze still filled with just as much guarded suspicion as before. "Oh my, such a feisty reaper, aren't you? But, that's not entirely what you are either, is it?" he responded to me, stepping towards me. I of course stepped back, not wanting to be anywhere near him. "What does it matter if that's not all I am? It's none of your business, so drop it" I growled out to him. During this time, he had continued walking towards me, while I stepped back until my back collided with the wall which meant I was now trapped. "As you wish..." He started, dropping his act as he grabbed me by the throat and pinned me to the wall. I clawed viciously at his hand, trying to get him to release me. For some reason though, I couldn't bring myself to hate his touch.
