Path of an Avenger

Raising an eyebrow at the hand extended towards him, his eye flicked up to shoot the girl a questioning look with eyebrow still cocked up. His eye then widened when she spoke to answer his questioning look.
                          
“Deal. Let me work under you as your new maid, Phantomhive…”
                          
Then there was silence. Violet blue to Ice blue, his eye slightly widened as a glint of fierce determination in her eyes stared back at him.  Breaking the eye contact, he grunted as a response before reaching a hand out to the waiting hand. Clutching the smaller hand firmly in his, Ciel gave her a curt nod.
                          
When the gesture was returned, he released her from his grip before turning to his watching butler. “Sebastian, we will need this ring.”
                          
“Of course, Young Master.” Sebastian instantly took out a bag and crouched down to carefully put the ring in. Watching as his butler seal up the bag and slotted it into his tailcoat, Ciel turned his attention back to the girl to see her watch his butler with a questioning look.
                          
Then the attention was then returned when the girl flicked her eyes to him and spoke.
                          
“What do you need that for…?”
                          
Ciel stared back at her for a moment before he spoke. “That would be none of your concern, Blancbaston…..” Snapping his head to his waiting butler, he gave himself a curt nod before spinning away from his both companions. Strolling towards the door of the room, he continued. “…..Now, let’s head back.”
                          
…
                          
She could only stare after the boy in bewilderment as she watched him stroll towards the door. Snapping her head over to an utter of her name, she saw Sebastian gesturing to her to follow. Starting forward to do what she was told; Estella continued staring at the retreating back of the boy leading the way. Her eyebrows moved to frown at it.
                          
First, he’s so cold…..Then suddenly became so comforting….Now he’s so cold again…Why is he so damn hard to figure out….?
                          
Sighing heavily, Estella continued frowning at his back as they made their way towards the carriage.
                          
…
                          
The Phantomhive Manor.
                          
Ciel could not help but gave out a sigh when his manor came into view. The old manor they just came back from gave him the creeps. He could still feel deaths lingering at that very piece of land and it also gave him an indescribable feeling of coldness. Ciel shuddered inwardly at the thought of that piece of land. Somehow he suddenly felt that he was very lucky to have his servants staying together with him in his huge manor. Although they might be noisy and incompetent ones, they were the ones who made his manor somewhat…warm and homely. Not that he wants to admit it…Without those loud and careless servants; his home would never feel the same.
                          
Snapping his head over to his other fellow passenger, Ciel stared at the girl who was sitting at the opposite seat across him. His gaze on her softened, somehow Ciel was kind of glad that he had brought this girl away from the manor where her traumatizing past was held; she reminded him too much of himself….The same traumatizing expression of fear on his face years ago when he finally returned to his family manor. Turning to the window, he gazed out at his manor as the carriage trudged towards it. A small smirk then cracked across his face. Now, this girl will be an addition to his servants…With her added to be another resident of his manor, things were going to be interesting….Indeed, interesting.  Merely this new additional pawn would intrigue his life. All he need do now is to… wait and see.
