Chapter One: The Warning Signs
Snow, so white and pure, the indefinite sign of Winter approaching vastly. Most children loved the snow, to play in and to keep in mind that Christmas was on its way. Unfortunately to a poor Earl at the age of 13 hated the snow, no he loathed it. It wasn't that it was because it was cold or the reason he used dislike because of its close relation to his birthday. Ciel Phantomhive loathed the reminder of its purity compaired to what that damn puppet called his own body...Unclean. To be unclean, Ciel could never get those words out of his mind. Throughout the years he could never let them be. It seemed like it has been an eternity with that word stored roughly in the back of his thoughts and worries. Unclean, Unnecessary, Unwanted. Was that what he was? These days, when he sat alone in his chair in the back of his office, Ciel could only believe it was true.
A sudden knocking at the door pulled the young earl out of his disturbing beliefs. "Bocchan?" His butler, the only one who knew mostly everything there was to know about him. For a normal person knowing what Sebastian knows would ruin any person's reputation, but with their bargin-no their deal Sebastian would never utter a word.
"Come in." A muttered voice hidden behind the boy's throat spoke up allowing the person behind the door to enter. Walking in slowly his butler rolled to him a tray of tea. "Earl Grey?" The young earl automatically asked.
Smiling his butler replied, "Of course." Begining to pour the tea into the cup Sebastian jumped up suddenly. For that breif moment Ciel sensed something was wrong, inside his butler's auburn red eyes they held some sort of anger about them.
"What is going on Sebastian?" Curious about the situation his master questioned.
Going back to serving the tea with a smile the man in complete black replied, "Nothing to concern yourself with my lord." Before the child could even muster out an order for him to tell exactly what was happening the sly brute already left the room with a bow.
After cursing his butler for keeping secrets from him he brushed it off for the moment to have his tea which he so despratly needed to keep his peace of mind. What could he be hiding? There wasn't any of the queen's is he keeping from me? Damn him. Damn him back to hell. He knows something important, what is it? Damn no- I will not have this. Ciel gets up from his position on his chair and storms off frustrated to find his butler. Going past the servants who were doing some sort of shinannigans to his mansion but right at that moment he didn't even care. "Sebastian!" He walked up and down stairs, to the servants housing, no sign of him. Deciding to look back upstairs he ran into Finnian.
"Oh! Sorry Milord I was-I'm sorry." The young man stuttered unsure of what to say.
Brushing off some imaginary dirt off his shorts Ciel looked up to the gardner. "Don't worry about it Finny have you seen Sebastian?"
The blond put a finger to his lips in an attempt to think up the last time he seen the black coated butelr. "Umm..He left for town possibily around 10 minutes ago?"
"He what?" Ciel stomped back upstairs heading toward his study.
"I'm sorry Master I thought you knew." The blonde cried up the stairs.
Step after step Ciel inched closer to his office. "Don't worry about it, go attend to your work."
Safe inside behind the closed wooden door Ciel tore off his eye patch, opening his discolored eye he shouted. "Sebastian! Come Here!"
Swiftly the window in Ciel's study swung open and next to Ciel's side kneeling on the ground there he was. "Yes my lord?"
"Where were you?" Ciel demanded, eye patch clenched in his fist.
"My lord, you mustn't do that it will wrinkle." Sebastian stated as taking the eye patch from the boy and began to retie it back on his eye.
"Don't avoid the question."
"I was just investigating something for myself my lord?" Sebastian stated with a smile.
"Did I give you permission to leave?"
"No I'm afraid not young master." Sebastian inched behind Ciel back, "Why don't you punish me for not asking." He breathed on Ciel's neck making Ciel's whole face turn to a bright crimson shade of pink. Feeling his face turn red Ciel forced himself away from Sebastian and faced his desk trying to avoid Sebastian's sight.
"There is no need for such things, go and don't leave again without asking me, thats an order." The still blushing teenager mustered out.
Kneeling to the floor behind his master smiling Sebastian replied, "Yes my lord."
Leaving the boy alone in silence Ciel slammed his fist on the wooden board of his desk, "Damn him. Damn him." Why does he always get me like this? Does he get some kind of sick pleasure out of it? I can't even stand it when he talks to me like that! I-I need some fresh air. I stomp my way downstairs and see all the staff at work, except one. Great now where is he?
"Need me for something my lord?" A voice with a laugh behind it spoke. Turning around Ciel seen Sebastian grinning a big smile.
"Get my coat I'm going for a walk." Ciel could tell that Sebastian held some disagreement about him going on this walk, but being the perfect butler he was he fetched his master's coat.
"Might I attend you on this walk?" Sebastian asked in an almost pleading voice.
Scuffing at the idea Ciel answered,"No, I will be fine by myself for the day. Especially since you disobeyed my just earlier today. You will stay here unless you are called."
"Yes my lord." Sebastian bowed watching his bocchan leave his sight threw the front gate. Sebastian walked toward the servant's housing area. Each step grew heavier, like a weight dragging down upon him. A shadow appeared on the side of the wall, one not human. Sebastian punched the wall angrily. "Becareful little bocchan." Sebastian forceful said to himself.
In town Ciel walked the streets, past a few shops, past people that meant nothing to him. He couldn't shake that look Sebastian gave him as he left. It was a mix of anger and worry, it was strange for him to see on that mans usually almost unphased face. Pulled out of his thoughts Ciel heard something, he couldn't reconize it at first, but it had drawn him to an alley away from the people. Ciel stared at the alley, was he really going to go in there? I should wait for Sebastian-No I don't need Sebastian. He did this to himself,but I did order him to stay at home. No I'm going to check it out. Ciel walked into the stone surrounded walls. As soon as he stepped forward he reconized the tone.
"Build it up with Silver and Gold
Silver and Gold,..." A male voice sang mysteriously.
Immediately Ciel ran knowing that song, he ran and he ran trying to get out of that alley. Was it always this long?
"Silver and Gold,
Build it up with Silver and Gold,"
Ciel feeling scared grabbed at his eye patch only barely lifting it off to be grabbed, "Sebastian!" He screamed hoping he would hear him. The arms pushed down his hand so the eye patch remained flat on his eye. Ciel's vision grew blurry when he inhaled some chemicals on a cloth. Only Sebastian's name on his mind. Sebastian Sebastian Sebast-
At the phantomhive manor Sebastian felt himself being summoned by his master. Not wasting any time he bolted at inhuman speed to where he picked up his prey's location.
In the dark alley, purple eyes crept out from the darkness cascading themselves on Ciel's motionless body.
"Build it up with Silver and Gold, My Fair Lady."
