I do not own Kuroshitsuji or Fatal Frame
The doors were locked, the windows were barred, Ciel found himself alone in the dark of his manor. His chest felt tight, the only thing he had for light was the small flashlight which he grasped tightly. He took a step forward and looked around.
"What happened while I was gone…?" he asked, he had been away on a trip for the company and returned to a deserted manor. He wandered around.
"Finny!" he called with no reply.
"Maylene!" no answer.
"Bard!" Silence.
"Tanaka!" Nothing.
Ciel felt his blood rush and he continued on down the dark corridor. His eyes shifting around.
"Sebastian!" he called out but to no avail.
"Where is everyone!? Where did they go!?" he hollered and suddenly tripped over something. He looked to see what it was. A camera.
"What is this?" he slowly picked it up. "A camera?" he blinked and saw a note with it. CAMERA OF OBSCURA
"The camera obscura?" he read on and figured it that it was a camera of exorcism.
"Why would this be in my manor…?"
Sleep Priestess lie in peace…Sleep priestess lie in peace…
Ciel looked up to here eerie singing. "What is going on?" he asked. He held up the camera and looked through the lens, his eyes widen when he saw a tall black haired woman approach him, her skin was bright blue and her body was covered in tattoos. The temperature began to drop, Ciel stared in total awe when she suddenly disappeared. He looked around for her and lowered the camera. He peered through it once more to see her inches from him face. He went to scream but she grabbed his throat and held him up.
"No one has ever survived my curse.." she spoke like acid on her tongue as she dropped him.
Ciel Phantomhive woke up in a panic, too afraid to even scream, he panted heavily and looked around.
"A nightmare?" he muttered, suddenly his throat began to hurt, he struggled with the pain as the tattoo spread across his body, he gasped for air, he closed his eyes tightly and bared the pain, it disappeared just as Sebastian entered the room, Ciel trembled.
"Oh, Young Master, you are already up, this is rare." he said and smiled, it disappeared when he saw Ciel trembling.
"Are you alright?" he asked and walked over.
"Nothing, just a nightmare." he spoke with regained composure. Sebastian poured him some tea.
"You shouldn't read before bed, it can cause very strange dreams." Sebastian explained. Ciel sighed softly.
"Sebastian, is there such of thing of a camera that can purify spirits?" he asked suddenly. Sebastian was a bit off guard at the strange question.
"Well…its hard to explain, why suddenly the interest in such matters…?"
"In my dream…" he began and explained everything what happened. Sebastian stared intently.
"It was a nightmare, that;s all." he spoke almost coldy. Ciel nodded. "Your right."
Maylene stared silently out the window as it rained. Her heart was sighing with a bit of sadness, she did have a terrible past she knew this, but was living and working as a maid going to be the repentance she wanted? She closed her eyes.
"Every night it is the same dream…Seth…where did you go?" she muttered.
"Who's Seth?" asked Bard who had been standing behind her. She jumped and looked to him.
"Eh!? Oh, well Seth was my younger brother." she explained. Bard stared silently.
"Was?" He questioned. Maylene turned back to the window.
"He went missing over five years ago, Everyone assumes that he is dead." she spoke sadly.
"Oh I'm sorry Maylene I didn't want to bring back any hurtful memories." Maylene smiled. "Its alright…" She sat down in the break room.
"You see, my brother and I are twins." she explained. Bard listened, Sebastian had entered the room in silence.
"When we were young, My brother and I could see things most people can't, and even today…" she explained.
"What kind of things?" he asked.
Maylene smiled. "The paranormal, ghosts, demons, angels, goblins…etc. We both saw these things…that is why are eyes are so different from anyone else."
"You kidding?! That is so neat!"
Sebastian's eyes widen. Can she see…the real me?
"Well it becomes really annoying when I try to do housework, most of the time I trip its because some little annoyance like that trips me and laughs at me, I'm always getting scolded."
Bard grinned. "I wish I could see stuff like that!"
"No..its not pleasant at all." Maylene continued.
That night Ciel refused to sleep, he knew he would have another nightmare, his throat burned with pain and he sighed, he got up and wandered the corridors. He fixed himself something to drink and sat down.
"These..dreams need to stop.." he spoke softly and rested his head on the counter table.
