Y/n's POV

Pure white. Like the snow falling in this black abyss. A young child with s/c and h/c stood in the snow, with her hair blowing behind her.

The young child walked up to me, and I could see her blue eyes, almost glowing in the sheet of white. She wasn't dressed for the weather, making her visibly shiver. I couldn't feel the cold, I couldn't feel anything at all actually. The child kneeled in front of me and giggled.

"Seems like papa got tired of you disobeying him." I raised an eyebrow and saw my extremities. I couldn't move them at all. They shone, like plastic almost. I heard a disembodied voice and saw the child run in front of me, then disappear. The voice was condescending and deep, it sounded as smooth as chocolate

"Do you like your new appendages my maid?" I turned my neck to see nothing.

"Over here, darling." I looked up and saw a man with blue hair in front of me. His face was completely silhouetted, and I could see him in a blue and black suit. I looked at my joints and noticed the s/c skin was melted to the plastic. I didn't hear myself scream, I just felt my throat get raw. The child pointed at my stomach and giggled again.

"Look, papa! Mama is having another baby!" I looked down and saw my stomach was swollen. My eyes gradually got wider, as the silhouette got closer towards me. He cupped my chin and lifted my face. I saw a hand go towards my stomach, and I felt my eyes water in pain. I don't even know what he was doing to me, but I felt my stomach wrack with pain.

"Please don't." The hand gripping my chin yanked my face closer to him. He took the hand near my stomach, and I saw the world snap to the side. My entire face blew up in white-hot pain, and I heard the child gasp and run towards me. White spots coated my vision, and my head was light as a feather.

"Daddy, now mommy is returning to the real world." The last thing I heard was the man chuckle.

"This will be real my dear eventually. Until then, we can see her whenever she comes back."

'Please no. Please stop.'

I opened my eyes and immediately went to feel my arms and stomach.
'Whew. Not pregnant, or have my arms and legs replaced with plastic.' I sat up and noticed the blankets I was under. The blanket wasn't mine. Neither was the room.

'Where am I? I remember being at the market and then meeting the Earl. After that-' I growled and yanked off the covers. I looked at the neat and folded clothes at the end of the bed. A small piece of paper was tucked in the dress. I took out the note and held out the dress in front of me. It was long though. Considering my situation, that was a plus.                                                       'This is too small for me. It's long enough, but it will be tight on my chest. My corset will also not help the fact.' The note had the Phantomhive crest at the bottom, and I saw a small choker at the bottom.

'Dear Miss Y/n,                                                                      As you probably know, you are a new maid for the Phantomhive manor. You will dress in the clothes at the end of the bed and arrive in my study at 9 pm sharp. I don't take kindly to lateness on the first day of someone's job. My study is on the 7th door on the 3rd floor, it's the door with the gilded doorknob. Again, do not be late, or else I will have to punish you.'

"Oh great. The arrogant prick is pushier than I thought." I sighed and took off my bloody and dirty clothes from earlier. I saw a basin with a cloth and warm water. I washed off the dirt and blood from my body, and put my stockings and chemise. I put on my corset and tightened the laces as much as I could by myself. I put on the rest of my undergarments and my dress. I pulled on my boots and booked it out of the room and looked at the pocket watch on my breast pocket.   'Great it's 8:57. This is just great.' I sped up the stairs until I reached the gilded door. I opened the door as I saw my watch read at 9 o'clock. Ciel smirked at me and walked closer.

"You're late." I raised an eyebrow. How was I late?

"How Master Phantomhive?" He took his right arm and blocked my exit, and cupped my chin in his hand.

"You are one second late. You also didn't knock my doll." He whispered in my ear. I pushed his chest, but he was too strong. I put on my most coy smile and tuck an h/c strand behind my ear.

"My first day and you already assault me? Guessing this is common." I tried to speak as calm and even as possible, but my voice shook as I finished. He laughed and released me from his hold.

"I think I will let you go from punishment, Miss y/n." He sat back in his chair and handed me a piece of paper.

"We have 14 guests today, and I need you to cook for this. Also, please handle the entertainment as well." I raised an eyebrow. A prominent sentence was I was required to bake for Ciel, before the party.

"You expect me to do this?" Ciel waved a matching list in front of my face and nodded. I saw his hand wave me away, and I walked out the door in surprise. I saw Sebastian enter the room, and he smiled at me. I walked downstairs and ran into Finian, who dropped everything in his hands.

"Oh Miss y/n! I apologize!" I smiled and handed him a piece of paper with the selection of flowers for the party.

"Could you please handle this Finian? I would be so grateful if you helped me!" I saw a hint of blush on his face, and he nodded profusely. I kissed his cheek and left for the kitchen. I started baking some kind of cake that I learned to make from when I worked in my mother's bakery. I slipped it in the oven and checked it off my carefully organized list from another piece of paper. I take the cake out of the oven and walk upstairs towards Ciel. A small child runs out of his office and runs into me. I see him hug my leg and I smile down at him. He motions for me to pick him up, and I do while balancing the cake in my left hand.

"Damn it, Adam! Come back here before your mother screams in my ear." I hear Ciel yelling after the child. He sees the kid and stares with a dazed look on his face. I could faintly see a smile on his normally cold face. The child hugs my neck and I hear him giggling.

"You smell nice! Like oranges and sugar!" Ciel grabs the cake from me and pets Adam's head.

"C'mon Adam. Stop bothering my maid." The child frowned and started sobbing.

"Please can I stay! She's nice and can bake!" I look at the cake and see a bite taken out of it. Ciel rolled his eyes and I think he was oppressing a smile. He gently pried him off of me and sent the kid to Sebastian. He looked me up and down, and handed me a box from behind his desk.

"Here. This is your dress for the ball tonight. Also," He handed me a chain that looked like it could clip on my choker.

"I need you to wear this." I looked up at him and grit my teeth. I tolerate many things, but this is one of them.

"I will not be wearing that at all." He shrugged and in one move, pinned my arms behind my back. I started to struggle, as anger rushed through me in red-hot flashes. He clipped on the chain and pulled me closer to him.

"This is just so you don't get any ideas." I growled and elbowed him in the stomach. He cursed and pinned me against the wall.

"That was worth a punishment kitten~" He smirked and grabbed the cake from his desk. He held up a fork for me to eat it, and I turned my head to the side. He sighed and opened my mouth. He forced the fork inside and my mouth was flooded with the sickly sweet cake. He let my face go and I whimpered. He lifted my chin with his hand, and his smile was riddled with knives.

"You look adorable when you are scared of me. I would love to hear more of those noises out of you."

My face burned with shame, but also something else I couldn't place. His voice lowered into a sultry tone and he leaned down next to my ear.

"Doll. If you want me, just say the word." My eyes widened, and I felt something hot in the pit of my stomach. My knees buckled beneath me, and I relied on this pompous shitlord to hold me up. I cleared my throat, and smirked. If I play along, maybe he will leave me the hell alone.

"Maybe I will. Now can you let me go?" He kissed my cheek and let go of my wrists. I opened the door and bolted out of that situation.

I already know this damn job is going to be the death of me.
