"You're pathetic. Just look at you."
The dark, scornful man crouched beside the weak, defenseless boy and placed a cold hand upon his cheek; smirking deviously, yellow cat like eyes burning brightly within the dim lit surrounding; watching as fear absorbed his highness's small throbbing body.
Removing his glasses in a swift manner he placed a single cold hand to the young, blonde's cheek and observed his fragile structure.
"Such a silly, selfish boy who truly means nothing to me. Your use, only so that I can get to the one I truly desire, you are nothing compared to him."
The man grimaced, and pushed the blonde's face abruptly to the side in utter disgust, and stood up and stared down at him once more.
"Soon I will end your life, and believe me, I cannot wait till that sweet, sweet day."
Alois shook and trembled as he darted up from beneath the deep, royal blue covers that enclosed in around him. "I-It was only a dream..." He blinked softly, releasing saddened tears that looked like precious crystals from his turquoise eyes, an anxious feeling building up inside him, unsure whether or not to call for his butler, Claude. The same man whom had just been in his nightmare.
Hurt, and somewhat confused, Alois dragged himself out of bed and wandered to the window, shuddering as the warmth drained from him as cold winter air targeted his exposed skin. He looked out and up into the sky, leaning against the window; face pressed against the glass as more tears leaked from his eyes, tricking down the window one after the other, hot breath condensing against the glass.
"It's strange how people look out into the stars at night when upset or in pain..." He whispered to himself, glancing down to a mirror beside him which was tilted at an angle, displaying his reflection.
"Does Claude really want to leave me? … he can't, I won't let him! I can't be alone again, not ever!" He shouted into his reflection, disgusted and afraid.
Angered, he lifted the mirror and smashed it to the ground, leaving a pool of glimmering shards of glass to litter the floor around him.
Soon enough footsteps were heard to be approaching. Alois stayed calm and remained where he stood as Claude then entered the room.
As usual Claude held an apathetic look upon his face and stood awaiting.
"Claude."
"Yes, your highness?" He bowed.
"Do you care about me?" Alois took a few steps closer. "Will you ever leave me?"
"Your highness what has brought all this on?"
"Answer my question you stupid man!" Alois screamed, stomping his foot upon the ground in frustration.
Claude narrowed his gaze, and leant down to the boys level, glancing behind the boys locks of blonde hair to see the broken mirror and it's remains on the floor.
He remained quiet still.
"Why won't you love me Claude?"
"But your highness...you know why. Surely you must do now." Sighing Claude stood upright.
With that, Claude turned and walked in the opposite direction to leave a stunned and hurt Alois, presumably to leave for a dustpan and brush.
He did not care and didn't have time to answer his masters questions, nor did he want to.
Of course Alois knew what Claude wanted. He wanted Ciel and wouldn't rest until he got he demonic hands on him.
This broke Alois to pieces every time he thought of it. He was unwanted, unloved and uncared for. The only thing different this time, was that Alois knew what he had to do.
In his mind, in order to regain Claude's love and affection, he had to destroy what ever was in his way.
This being Sebastian's young master, Ciel Phantomhive.
