Prologue
It's midnight.
Everyone's meant to be asleep but something just eats away at this one person
Azure and a glowing violet orb stared out the side of of his bed,watching, waiting, for someone to come through the door, as if expecting this someone to notice his discomfort and being unable to sleep at this time of night.
...No one came...
Alone, he realized, I'm the only one awake at this godly hour... In a flash the thick covers were thrown off and the small boy swung his legs over the side of the bed staring at the door.
Something was going to happen, but what?
Then suddenly the sounds of gunshooting was heard.
Bang!
Claclop claclop.
Hooves of horses were also heard right after that first sound, making it even more suspicious, it was getting louder, as if getting closer.
He stood up, his white nightshirt, wrinkled, while his slate coloured hair was messed up and sticking out in places. The soft padding of his feet on the soft carpet then onto the wooden floors, he made his way over to the large window, then stared.
And just gawked at what he was met with...
...It was blood red...
...A blood red moon...
He couldn't stop himself, couldn't tear his eyes away even for a second. That large round, once meant to be silverish in colour, red moon. My mismatched eyes opened wide, as if in awe.
SPLAT!
It was abrupt, it stopped the boy's trance, but in just one single moment, the window was covered in that dark oozing liquid all forms have, but, it was also red.
Red blood.
He started trembling...not in awe but in fear...
What's going on? Why can't I move?
His trembling just continued to get worse. Slowly bringing shaky hands to his chest he gripped the cloth that covered his body as if a sort of self comfort, but it didn't work. He took one step back until he heard a blood curdling cry of agony, which would make anyone's insides churn.
A whimper escaped his lips as he took one more step to have the back of his legs meet the edge of the bed, shakily he goes to sit down but he felt a strong arm wrap around his waist and one hand go to his eyes to cover them.
Now I was trapped and couldn't see.
But that's all that took...for him to release a load uncontrollably, making a mess of his nightshirt and the carpet.
"It's alright, young master...please just calm down..."
That voice!
"S-Sebastian...!"
He was so scared, the slate haired boy just wished to back in his bed sleeping and forgetting this ever happened.
But no...I can't.
Not after what he just did when a simple gentle gesture pushed him to over the edge.
"I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't mean to scare you."
No more words could come out of the teen's mouth. Only harsh and irregular breathing.
"I would've got here sooner, but I was a little tied up. Young master, we have to leave, we're not safe here."
Just what is going on?
As if reading his thoughts her replied through the same hushed tone, "We have some trouble outside and inside. It seems more of my kind are after you."
"A-After me?"
"Yes,"
Ciel shook more violently, "A-Ah..."
"Shh...you'll be all right...As long as I'm by your side." Bright cat like eyes trained down on the fragile and small boy against his chest, "First, we'll quickly clean you up and dress you in something clean."
He nodded, "J-Just hurry, that's an order..." Trying his best just to sound stable was just so hard right not for the poor boy.
He obeyed not being able to count to ten, Ciel was cleansed and dressed. Scooped up bridal style then was carried out of the room and down the stairs as quick as they could go.
"We hunger for you soul."
"Give up, we've got you now."
"You're ours. Ciel Phantomhive."
Who are they? Why do they want my soul? Don't they know I'm contracted to Sebastian?
His thoughts continued to run wild that he didn't even notice they were now outside.
He shivered.
Breaking from that train of thought, those same mismatched eyes of that one human boy...couldn't be torn away from what he saw, countless corpses were lying about near their feet. None of which that were pretty to look at. Organs were torn out, leaving only the empty shell of skin and bones. But even that, was only a little there.
It was like a massacre, with dirty and vile people whom had been turned into nothing but unusable objects. Blood stained the once green grass, which was dark in colour already from the lack of light.
But that...that red moon just continued to glow brightly.
Ciel glanced up, giving himself a good look at subject of the same colour he was so used too.
Why am I so scared? I've seen these things happen countless times before...
The situation was so much different than what he has witnessed before. The poor young earl Phantomhive, probably wouldn't be able to take much more.
"Ciel."
Two sets of eyes bulged, that voice. They know it anywhere.
"Alice..."
"Incorrect."
Glancing in the direction of where the voice came from, down came four black silhoettes, most of them with glowing red-violet eyes but one down on all fours in front of the smallest figure had a marking glowing bright red upon his neck.
"It's Alizania."
Sebastian's eyes also began to glow, long dark claws beginning to tighten the grip his had on his master.
"H-Huh?" Ciel noticed and shakily looked around to see what was wrong with his demon butler, but regreted it as soon as he did, "S-Sebastian...!" His eyes flew wide open again and he struggled to get out of the black haired tall man's grasp, "Put me down! That's an order!"
Sebastian put him down alright, but not in the way the little Earl wanted...his arms were outstretched and pinned there by the now clawed hands of his once faithful butler.
"Let me go!" The tears finally began to roll down his cheeks.
"Never,"
That retort came from the small girl figure that raised up one clawed hand after peeling off what it looked like a glove, then extended the hand out then sudden withdrew it with a hard tug.
There were four coloured streams of light coming from it.
Never in his life has he ever seen something quite like that... His contract signed eye began to burn as soon as his normal eye can into looking at the long threads. But taking a long look his noticed they all were going towards to her followers, wrapping around their necks, but one...just one...was over his way and wrapped around Sebastian's neck. As if a collar for a dog.
Then Ciel realized it.
That girl he once knew as "Alice" was using her taming powers.
"W-Wait! Please!"
She ignored his pleas and opened her mouth revealing the sight of silver fangs, "Mizu! Cover him! Christopher!..." a smirk tugged at her lips, "Devour him...devour, Ciel Phantomhive."
"No, no please!"
Said men advance their way over to the boy in a flash, and the next thing you could hear were his screams.
