Chapter 1 The Pain of Betrayal
"C-Claude?" Alois was backing away from the tall and threatening demon until he hit the wall. "W-What's with that look?" The demon didn't say a word as he grabbed Alois' hands and held them above his head. "Look, I didn't really mean it! I was just-"
"Shut up." Alois found he couldn't speak anymore as his mouth was smothered in the demon's. He screamed as a cold hand went places Alois didn't want it to. Claude moved his head back to gaze at Alois coldly.
"C-Claude I order you to stop this! If you don't stop you're violating our contract!" The demon smirked.
"That's not all I'm violating tonight your highness." Alois's screams were heard throughout his estate, and the demon triplets who already lived there simply ignored them while Hannah looked down in shame and continued cleaning as previously ordered.
Alois moved across the floor slowly, grabbing his side every meter or so. He was bleeding, but Claude had been kind enough to make it so he wouldn't die yet. It wasn't enough to kill him, but enough to make him wish he was dead.
Why Claude? I-I didn't… I didn't deserve that did I? The betrayal of the one who had sworn never to do so… it cut deeper than the wound Ciel had given him by way of sword and deeper than… Alois shuddered; he didn't want to remember it. Any of it. Not now.
Alois shakily and slowly climbed the stairs, trying to be as quiet as possible as he emerged from the dark place Claude had left him in. The dark was horrible, and it only reminded him of the things in his past, the things he tried to forget. Claude made it worse.
You w-were supposed to make it better Claude… He winced as he felt a huge pain shoot through his back. I-It hurts… Tears streamed down his reluctant face though he tried to hold them back.
The physical pain was nothing compared to the shame he felt. The pain of betrayal, the pain of loss, the utter loneliness. There were very few people he knew in the world, and the five who lived with were now dead to him.
H-He's the only one left, but… should I even? Alois was always so sure of himself, but now…
He reached for the phone that he had been edging closer to now that he was upstairs and in the dim lighting; at least it wasn't the pitch black from before.
No choice. Alois dialed the operator and took one last calming breath.
"Hello, operator, how can I-"
"Ciel Phantomhive."
Super short chapter, just testing to see if anyone wants me to write it. Lemme know okay?
