At the quiet home of the Phantomhive Family manor sat a young child. His hair was messy and tangled from him just awakening. He sat up in his bed and swung his slim legs over the side of the mattress. His feet could not touch the floor from where he sat, due to the lack of growing he's was dully noting his butler's actions pertaining to their morning. Now the servant had to dress the boy. The boy waited until the butler finished his duty to get up. He strode out of his large comfortable room. In the hallways of the Estate were many doors and paintings on each side. Ciel only searched for one door in particular. He found it easily and opened the door to his study. His butler now stood in the corner of the room, a tray of letters in his hands.
"Sir, there is mail for you." The butler stated in a low, kind tone. His crimson eyes watched the Earl sit down. Sebastian bowed down then set the tray onto the desk placed in front of Ciel.
The young boy grabbed the sealed envelopes and tore one open. "Hmm.." His deep blue irises traveled back and forth as he read the Invitation. "It seems we're invited to a Ball at the Trancy estate." Ciel spoke plainly, hardly caring about the event. "I wonder what he's up to."
"Claude! Get ready for the get together with the Phamtomhives." The young male bosses his butler around. The demon butler bows down, "Yes your Highness." He walks away making Pumpkin Chai tea, regular cheesecake topped with strawberries, and chocolate cake with milk chocolate icing. "This is going to be great." The young blonde giggles. "You will be mine Ciel Phamtomhive." Alois licks his lips.
Ciel sighed. "It's going on in less than an hour... I suppose I can go." He leaned back in his large chair. "Ready the carriage Sebastian." The boy order. Ciel wasn't all too bothered by the urgency either. This was his slow day, he didn't mind leaving now.
Sebastian bowed once again. "Yes my lord." He turned and left to get the carriage. Once that was done the earl walked out and got into it. They got to the Trancy Manor about 20 minutes later.
Claude just finished the preparations. Setting the tea and the sweets on the table neatly trying to look professional. He hears the doorbell ring and walks up to the door open it slightly.
Beyond the large front door of the Manor of the Trancy family was Ciel in his formal clothing. The Earl didn't bother smiling to Claude who was seen peeking through. He simply stared at him with his usual grimace. "May I enter?" He asked.
Sebastian stood politely beside his master. His eyes were directly on the other man, hostile intensions were surely on his mind.
"Of course sir." He moves out of the way."Come in! Come in!" The blonde grins having their seats ready. "Eat up so we can discuss some matters." He said as he sits down on his watches Ciel like a hawk then glares at Sebastian.
The young earl didn't smile at the other. He nodded plainly and went to his seat. He sat down and crossed his legs. "What's to eat?" He asked.
Sebastian also sat down, his eyes still very focused in Claude. He knew how Claude was. How much he wanted the young master.
"Cheesecake topped with strawberry." The young blonde answered. "Please have some with Pumpkin Chai tea." He offered as he his glance back at Sebastian. "Already assuming I'm going to take your master? Heh... Clever.." The demon butler thought to himself as he looks back at Ciel staring at him.
Ciel looked at Claude and frowned. "You're pathetic.." He nodded and took a sip of the tea. "..So what are the matters you were going to talk about?"
Sebastian smirked at Claude. "You're not going to get him. Not even over my dead body."
"Ah yes... I need you to come with me to the fencing room. If you don't mind?" Alois smirks eating his cheesecake. Claude glares at Sebastian. "How funny you say that Sebastian."
"Fencing room..?" Ciel mumbled. He glanced at his butler then shrugged. "Fine." The earl got up and went over to Alois. "Show me to the room please."
Sebastian got up also and followed his master like a shadow. His crimson eyes glew brightly with rage.
"Certainly." Alois takes him to the fencing room. "Want to spare for a few minutes?" Alois asked the Earl hoping he would say yes. Claude follows them grinning slightly at Sebastian's rage. "What is there to be angry about Sebastian?" The Trancy butler asked.
Ciel again didn't find any reason not to. He nodded. "Alright. You won't win though." He smirked.
Sebastian rolled his eyes. "Your confidant attitude it not a good sign. Don't you touch my young master."
"We shall see about that." The blonde gets his fencing sword and gives one to Ciel. "Who said I was going to touch your young master? Or are you just assuming?" The demon said trying to catch Sebastian off guard.
Sebastian chuckled. "I'm assuming. It has happened in the past, I have reason believe you could."
Ciel took his and felt the weight of the sword. "Alright." He grinned and got into a fighting stance. "Show me what you got Alois."
"I think you are wrong Sebastian." Claude smirks in denial. "Besides, I think the boys are having fun on their play date." He looks over at him.
"Ole!" Alois gets in fighting stance. "May the best Earl win." He smirks getting ready to attack.
Ciel quickly lunged his sword at Alois, trying to aim the young male's chest. "I will not loose."
Sebastian looked back at his master and smiled. "Yes.. Well I don't see how my master enjoys visiting. But he's doing a good job at beating Alois."
Alois strikes his armpit by accident, he pulls his sword back trying to hit his chest. Claude keeps looking at them with a smirk. "Yes he is…" He starts thinking of a way to get rid of Sebastian.
Ciel avoided the other blows and leaped forward again. His sword hit the other boy's ribs and slid off. He stumbled forward. His guard now completely down. Sebastian stopped looking at the other demon. But he used hearing and smell to know that Claude was still there. "Having fun are we?" Alois smirks and keeps fighting. Claude watches.
Ciel struggled to keep up and get his guard back up. He moved swiftly on his feet and kept trying to lung at the blonde. "Heh. No, this is just a game. And I'll win." Alois smirks as he attacks Ciel.
Ciel couldn't react fast enough. He saw the sword come to him. He believed that meant he lost. But when the sword cut into his body, stabbing in his torso, he knew that this was a trick. He dropped his own sword and was in shock.
The butler gasped and ran to his master. "Sir?!" Alois grins in victory. Ciel pulled the sword out, blood dripping from his wound. He suddenly heaved and puked. Through what came out was blood. The boy shock his head and looked at Alois. "Bastard…" Sebastian growled at them and quickly picked the earl up. "We're leaving!" He scowled and made his way to the door.
"Pitty… I was having fun." The blonde flashed a wicked grin. "I see that your highness. Shall we go with plan B?" "Yes…Heh." Alois grins.
Ciel held his hand on thw would and clung to Sebastian. "G-get… Me out of here." He coughed up blood, the sword having gone through his lung and top of his intestines. Sebastian nodded to his master and ran out of the room.
Claude runs off trying to follow them without Ciel and Sebastian knowing. Alois grins at the blood stain floor. "You will be mine soon…Ciel Phamtomhive…"
The demon got out to the carriage and set Ciel inside carefully. He got up front and hot the carriage moving away quickly. Ciel let out cries of pain as the bumpy ride caused his wound to feel worse. Claude uses inhuman speed to follow them.
Ciel felt a bit strange now. Along with the pain of the wound, he felt a pulsing burning pain spreading all over his body. He writhed in the carriage until is stopped and Sebastian quickly too him out. They were back at their manor now. Sebastian carried Ciel inside, he watched how badly in pain the boy was. "Sir. You'll be fine." He said to reassure Ciel.
Claude sneaks in the Phamtomhive manor through the window of the top floor, he carefully sneaks around trying to find Ciel's room. Sebastian brings his master to his bedroom and sets him gently on the bed. The demon quickly stripped the boy and pulled out bandages wrapping then around the wound. Ciel groaned and shook hard as the pain grew unbearable. His face was pasty white and his eyes bloodshot. Every part of him hurt, he felt like his lungs were even struggling to keep up.
Claude was hiding under the bed listening to them waiting for Sebastian to leave. Sebastian frowned. He couldn't do much more… He had no pain medication on hand. He sighed. "I'm deeply sorry sir… The pain should go away in a day or so…" He turned and left the room. Ciel cried and wiggled all around on the bed. His eyes were getting blurry. Every inch of his body felt like soup being boiled in burning hot water.
Claude crawls out from under the bed quietly and swiftly smirking. "Looks like you can't do anything now…" He picks up the Phamtomhive Earl jumping out the window running to the Trancy manor quickly before Sebastian comes back to check on him.
