~Chapter 1~
It had been a normal day for Ciel Phantomhive. He was bored of the same-old same-old everyday. Sebastian was about to take him upstairs so he could go to bed, when there was a furious knocking at the door.
"Please excuse me, young master. Please carry on upstairs." Sebastian said, and walked towards the door. He opened it, and was slightly taken aback at the person in front of him.
At the door was a young girl, who couldn't be older then nine, who was dressed in commoner's rags, and was clutching a small, round pendant-type necklace that was hung around her neck.
"Can I... Help you, young lady?" Sebastian asked.
"Please sir!" the girl cried. "You must let me in! There is a group of scary men after me, and I fear for what would happen if I was to be caught!" The girl looked behind her, and Sebastian could see car lights in the distance. This seemed only to add to the girl's distress.
"I am sorry," Sebastian said, starting to close the door. "But we cannot help you. Please, run back to your parents, surely your daddy can fight them off."
The girl cried out in more distress, and flung her small body between to door. She looked up at Sebastian with tears in her frightened eyes.
"I cannot…" She said, looking down at her shoeless feet. "My parents are dead."
Sebastian saw a small shadow cast by his feet, and saw that Ciel was standing not 5 meters behind him, and was listening to the girl.
"Really?" Asked Sebastian in his normal, emotionless voice.
"Yes. They were in the house when the men came. They refused to hand me over, so the men locked them in, and… and then… they…" The girl stopped, and started to cry harder.
"Yes?" Asked Sebastian.
"They set fire to the house… and killed them both." She sobbed.
Ciel's eye shot wide open.
"Let her in." He said, marching to the door and pushing it open. He grabbed the girl by the arm, and pulled her inside.
Ciel felt a strange feeling for this girl. He could not describe it well, but it felt like someone had put a corset on his heart, and pulled it tight.
"What is your name?" He demanded, determined not to let his strange feeling show.
The girl looked up at him.
"My name is Cathy." She said, wiping her eyes with the back of her muddy sleeve.
Suddenly, there was a loud banging at the door. Cathy cringed.
"Don't worry." Said Ciel, and dragged Cathy to the nearest room –a cloakroom- and sat her down on the floor. He went to close the door, but made sure he left it the slightest crack open, so he could see what was happening.
Sebastian opened the door, and peered out at the five big-built men.
"Can I… help you?" He asked, the same way he had Cathy.
"Yeah, mate, you can." Said the biggest man gruffly, taking his cigar from out his mouth. He was about as tall as Sebastian, but twice as wide with muscle. He could see how the tiny girl had been scared so easily.
"We're looking for a little girl," Said another man, who wasn't as tall as the first, but had just as much muscle. "She has shoulder length brown hair, and green-ish eyes. You see, we own her, but she's legged it."
All the time the men were talking, Ciel watched Cathy. She was curled up in some of the coats, shivering with fear. As he watched her, he felt that strange feeling in his chest return. He remembered just after his parents had dies, and all he wanted was someone to give him a hug, and say it would be all right. He sat down next to Cathy, and put his arm around her.
"Don't, your clothes… your clothes will get…"Cathy started, but was silenced by Ciel placing a finger across her lips.
"Shhh." He said, and then turned his attention back to what Sebastian and the men were saying.
"I see. And how do you own her?" Sebastian asked calmly.
"What's that got anything to do with you?" Snarled the first man.
"Depends if you want to know if I've seen the girl or not." Sebastian replied, still calm.
The man looked at Sebastian with hatred in his eyes for a few milliseconds, and then spoke.
"Just before the girl was born, there was a problem with the mother, and she got sick or something. So her father borrowed money off me, to pay for a doctor. We agreed that he would pay me back by her tenth year, or we would came and take her to sell into prostitution. Well, he never paid us so we came to collect. But he didn't hand her over, so we took her by force."
"Well, in that case, do please come in! I will be glad to help you find your little pet." Sebastian smiled, gesturing the men in. He turned and nodded slightly in the direction of the door Ciel and Cathy were behind.
Ciel understood, and moved so he was in front of Cathy, blocking her view of outside the door. He reached out, and put his hands over her ears. He then pulled her head down, so it was resting on his chest, and sort of held it there.
Cathy, confused, pulled her head back and looked into Ciel's eye. She didn't know what to do, so she reached up and put her hands over his ears. He was surprised at her touch, but looked down at her, and let a small smile flicker on his lips.
"Now, gentlemen. My last question. If you were, lets say to be… murdered or such on your way home, who would take the girl?"
Sebastian smiled brightly at the men.
