I just had to do this. I was listening to Wonderland, while I was working today and thought as soon as I heard, "I'm not Red Riding Hood, but I think the wolves have got me." I immediately thought of Ciel and Sebastian. There's a Ciel a Wonderland so why not Little Ciel Riding Hood.
Ciel was finding it hard to sleep that night.
"Sebastian, read me a story," Ciel demanded.
"Yes master," Sebastian replied with a bow.
He went off to the library, picking up a book from the shelf, "Yes this should be interesting for the young master," Sebastian thought aloud.
He walked back, book in hand as he set the candelabra on the bed side cabinet, getting a chair and putting it beside the bed, he began to read.
Ciel's eyelids slowly closed, as he began to dream himself in the story.
He was sat indoors looking outside, there was nothing much to do for him. His mother had been baking.
"Ciel darling," Rachel called.
"Yes mother," Ciel answered.
"I have some sweets, cakes, bread rolls and honey. I want you to take them to your aunt, she's not feeling well."
"Alright."
"That's my good boy," She said, kissing him on the head.
Ciel grabbed the basket and was just about to open the door, when his mum called again.
"Don't forget your cloak."
She helped him put on his cloak, tying it loosely round his neck then pulled up his hood.
"You look so adorable," She said smiling at him and fussing over him a little.
Ciel's face was stern as always as he replied with, "Mother!"
"Sorry darling, now let's have you on your way. Your aunt is expecting you."
Ciel headed out as he mother called again.
"Remember dear, stick to the path and do not dawdle along the way."
"Yes mother, I'm a grown boy," Ciel replied in a stern tone.
"I know you're just like your father," She sniffled.
"Mother," Ciel huffed.
"Alright then sweetie, get those to your aunt and be CAREFUL."
Ciel set off on the path through the woods, it was dark and dismal. Not much light was showing through the trees even though the sky was really dark, just like Ciel's personality.
He kept himself to the path, walking at his normal pace. There was a slight noise that made Ciel stop dead in his tracks.
"Who's there?" He asked into the darkness.
He got nothing in return and so carried on and then he heard it again. Luckily it was just a rabbit, a white rabbit with red eyes stared at him.
"Damn rabbit," He scowled and continued on his way.
As soon as he left the rabbit was suddenly startled by something and tried to run. It was too late for it was snatched up in the jaws of something from the darkness.
Bright red glowing slit cat like eyes, shone in the darkness. The thing opened its huge jaws and ran its tongue over its fangs as it licked its lips.
A second pair of glowing red eyes appeared from behind him.
"That one looks extra tasty."
"Yes and he's mine." The first one snarled a reply, "You had you fill with the other boy."
"As you wish," The second one replied coldly, backing down.
They let the darkness consume them, watching the boy from the shadows.
Ciel carried on his way, until he heard screams. He again stopped dead in his tracks, turning to face where the screams had come from and saw a figure standing over some people lying on the ground. The figure had what looked to be a huge death scythe, impaled in one of the victims back.
"Good day milord," He greeted cheerfully, with a small wave as he then carried on with what he was doing.
Ciel turned back to the path and carried on, "What will be next?" He thought to himself.
