Okay. So, I've been so into the game Alice: Madness Returns lately along with Black Butler. And well, I just had to do something to combine the two and whoa-la! I got this. Might not be the best, but I had to do it. So, this prologue takes place right at the end of the OVA Ciel in Wonderland and I thought I'd put some of the horror elements into it to get it started to blend in with the actual game. For those who have seen Ciel in Wonderland, you all know how Ciel is running around to catch Sebastian, right? Well, because I love the couple SebxCiel, I thought I make it to where Ciel is chasing after Sebastian and realizing that he loves him but keeps it to himself (spoiler: Where Ciel talks with Grell about deciding which way to go, Grell was questioning why Ciel was so desperate to find the White Rabbit and I couldn't help but notice how Ciel hesitated for a bit thus the idea of him realizing he loves Sebastian arose from my messed up mind.)
And so, this takes place during the trial where everyone accuses Ciel for loving Sebastian (because they know somehow) instead of them accusing him for forgetting who he was. (spoiler: You know how at the end of the story, it shows Sebastian reading the story to an unconcious Ciel? Well, I thought I'd erase that part and make it seem like it was a dream of Ciel...I just gave out a spoiler for my story. Shoot.)
And then, my weird idea come into bloom and this is what it created. I hope you all enjoy this and please tell me whether I should even continue with this. Thank you and please enjoy. ^-^
Prologue
Everyone was shouting at him.
"Show your proof! Show your proof! Show your proof!"
Ciel held onto his head as everyone's voices reached to the depths of his brain, causing a major headache. He was trapped inside a court room with a trail given to him about a huge crime he has committed without knowing what truly was at stake. Everyone has given him evidence that supported the right to accuse him of what he has done without wanting to. At first, he had no idea of whatever rime he was falsely being accuse of but as each character stood up to give their word, it all was becoming clear. It was now the Queen of Hearts' turn to give the last word.
"Now, as the final saying," the Queen (look alike of Madam Red) said as she stood up from her chair. Ciel looked at the ruler with puppy eyes. Once he had gotten all the pieces together, he knew exactly what he was being accused of. He knew it was a bad idea to be running around Wonderland, chasing after the White Rabbit being his butler...
Out of the blue, a large red train crashed into the room and made its way through, without hurting anyone except the room itself. It ran between the people and Queen, making it hard to see her Majesty over on the other side. This would've been a heart attack for the young earl, however, he was more scared of the next words that were going to spill from the Queen's lips.
As if the train never happened, the Queen continued her sentence. "You have fallen in love with the White Rabbit, the biggest crime there is."
Ciel felt a lump create in his throat. There it was. Being told to him. The crime he has committed was not ever thinking he was Alice because he just learned he wasn't from the Queen's saying. Alice wouldn't fallen in love with the White Rabbit. Ciel Phantomhive would because it was his butler, the man he had loved for a very long time in secret. Now, everything was crashing down on him for doing so and his Wonderland was doing it for him. He wanted to call out for Sebastian, to shout his name for protection, alas he was too scared of what might happen if he did. He could only scream his name inside his head.
As if someone read his mind, hanging from the ceiling with two golden chains tied around his wrist, the White Rabbit appeared as he was slowly brought down to reveal himself to everyone whom all gasp in horror. Sebastian was badly beaten. His nicely polished suit was now shred to pieces as one of his bunny ears flopped down due to a massive cit it received. His once flawless face was now covered in scratches and bruises od all kinds as blood spilled down from his forehead and mouth.
The sight was all a complete mess.
"S-Sebastian..." Ciel whimpered, the horrible sight of his butler too much.
Sebastian slowly turned his head to his master with a faint smile. "Young master..."
Suddenly, the room, if not, the castle of the Queen was falling apart. The walls were falling in as huge boulders fell from the sky as meteroids, yet no one moved or even seem to notice.
"Alice, you have committed the biggest crime ever made in Wonderland," the Queen spoke. "You had fallen in love with a man way older than you and, none to speak, the man who has been your companion for such a long time. That act is most unforgivable. Now, as Wonderland is being corrupted by your doing, there is one final question you must answer will full honesty."
Ciel fell on his knees as they gave up on him and kept his stare at his helpless butler above him. If he was not feeling as pathetic as he was, he would've ordered Sebastian to break free and take him out from this crazy world. But now, everything was falling apart, not only his Wonderland but himself as well. If only he hadn't followed Sebastian through the "rabbit hole". If only he hadn't gone through so much trouble just to get to him. If only...he hadn't fallen in love with him in the first place.
The destruction of Wonderland, is the destruction of himself.
"Do you still love Sebastian? Do you keep true to him?" the Queen said. It was as if those very words were made to stop time itself, the whole world waiting for the boy's answer.
Ciel looked up to his butler who merely stared back with his scarlet eyes, the same eyes Ciel could go hours looking at. The boy's lips quivered, not knowing what response to give.
"Say you do."
Just then, a familiar voice called out to Ciel who later appeared next to him. The Cheshire Cat (look alike of Grell).
"Say I do? But..." Ciel began but was cut short.
"Don't you mind my wanting for him. Just say that you do because everyone in this room knows it," Grell said.
"But they all just accused me for loving him. Why would they want to hear me say that I still do? Wouldn't that make things worse?"
"Your Wonderland is falling apart because you are letting the pillars break. You are the controller of this place thus everything is under your control. They are telling you that it is wrong to love him only because you wish them to tell you. You found something wrong with loving your butler, but in all reality, why should anyone care, right? With the exception of me, of course, but I am irrelevant at the moment. Alice, you love this man. Are you really going to let this fantasy world get the better of you?"
Ciel sighed. "You are right, Cheshire Cat. I love him and hopefully he loves me back. It is true that no one should care. But...I wish it was that simple."
Suddenly, time began moving again as more breakage of the world was put in place.
"A-Alice, what are you saying?" Grell said in shock.
Ciel smiled sadly as tears began to suddenly stream down him cheeks. "In my world, people care much about who is with who. Not only is the age difference such a shock, but there should never be any romantic relationship between a master and his butler. It is most disgraceful."
Everyone but the Queen, Sebastian, Cheshire Cat and Ciel were squashed by massive rocks, blood splattering everywhere.
"Alice...don't do this. You'll not only hurt yourself but us as well. Please say you love him. Please say you do," Grell beggged on his knees as his bright purple color was fading away.
Ciel continued to cry as he reached out to Sebastian. "I love him dearly, it hurts. That is why..." He stopped reaching and dropped his hand. "...I must let him go."
Upon hearing the final answer, the Queen sighed as she closed her eyes and a huge rock fell on her.
"Alice...no...please..." Grell caressed the boy's cheek as he began to vanish away.
"Cheshire Cat, do me but one last favor," Ciel said. "Save Sebastian. I don't want him to die in this place. Get him out. Please. Take him with you."
Grell tried to hold in his tears as he obeyed. He freed the butler from his imprisonment and carried him away.
"Young master!" Sebastian cried out before completely having his sight out from Ciel's view.
Ciel sat there as his Wonderland fell into ruins. Blood was used to paint the rocks on the people who hot hit and the smell of rotten flesh spread throughout. Black sudden began to engulf everything.
"This is the end," Ciel whispered. "The end of my Wonderland. What a shame. I was growing fond of it. Now that I lost the last thing I ever had to love, I cannot sustain it any longer. I am sorry, everyone. I truly am."
Ciel closed his only visible eye as the noise was muted. He then stopped breathing as his heart beat did the same. He opened his mouth for one last time and used his final ounce of breath he had left before it was completely gone.
"My name is Ciel Phantomhive, not Alice, you bloody lunatics."
He was there a minute and gone the next as the murderous train ran him over, ending this nightmare...
And that was it for the prologue. Yes, no Ciel and Sebastian couple this time. Ha! You fangirls!
Please don't kill me. If you do, you won't see the actual fanservice I'll give to you.
Anyway, tune in for more and please review. Thank you. ^-^
