アニーの遺産

I memorized every single turn we took as we winded through the hallways, passing doors that never seemed to end. There was no conversation between the butler and I. Though I didn't really feel like talking.

Let me explain something to you while there is nothing to talk about with me and the butler being all silent and all...

I am not from Earth.

I'm not even human, though I disguise myself rather well as one. The place I'm from, is called Rosebund, as you can probably assume. It seems that I keep on getting thrown all around to different dimensions. Earth, being the last place I was. However, despite me living on earth for 15 years, I never truly adapted to their climate. Rosebund, having a very harsh and harmful environment.

However, I remain the same no matter what. My abilities unlike any humans.

And unlike any other nonhuman as well...

Finally, we stopped. I almost ran into the man, thinking about home. About Earth. "Miss Annie, your room." He said, opening a door. Damn. Someone knows how to interior decorate. The wallpaper was a light green lacy design. Whilst the ceiling had two gold squares adorning it, the whole space white, while a bit of the wallpapers design was printed at the edges of both squares on the inside. A small ceiling lamp hung upside down. It basically looked like a mini chandelier. A white dresser stood proudly next to a (King sized?) well decorated bed. A cushioned bench rested at the end, matching the length of of the bed itself.

"Quite the room..." I mumbled, taking it all in. It had a sort of... fresh atmosphere to it. Maybe because it was so clean... "At Phantomhive manor, we only strive to give the best to our guests." He replied, and I raised an eyebrow. At that moment, the maid returned as if on que.

"Here is the corset you requested, Mister Sebastian!" She said, and Sebastian took it. "Thank you Maylene, now go attend to your normal duties." I narrowed my eyes at the contraption. "Now, Miss Annie, if you would-"

"Wait! Why are you dressing me? Why isn't the maid?" I interrupted. Mr. Butler looked a bit put off by my sudden outspokenness, but all the same, remained stoic. "It was my master's orders to make you decent." He said this as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. I deadpanned for a moment, "Uhh, isn't a man looking at a naked girls body like... improper?" I asked, and the butler gave a sigh, "I won't be looking directly at your body, Miss Annie. I can assure you of this, as I would be wearing a blindfold..." I almost gave a snort. But didn't object to it. I guess if he put it that way...

I walked into the room a bit further, and looked back at the butler, who wore a blank expression on his face. I still had his coat hanging over my shoulders, covering a good amount of skin. I looked away, and sighed. Letting it slide a bit, revealing a little shoulder, I heard the door close, and fabric move from one side of the room.

"Alright then. No funny business or I will kill you."

"No need for the threat, Miss Annie. I can assure you there will be no funny business as I do not have any ulterior motives." He said, and I felt gloved hands unwrap the coat from my body, revealing much of my nudity to no one but ourselves. I smirked slightly at myself, "That wasn't a threat, but thank you for letting me know that." I said.

I swear I could almost hear him choke at my reply.
