Hello everyone and thank you for checking out my story! I was inspired by all of the Alois x Ciel fanfics and fanarts to write a fanfic of my own, and luckily Alois and Ciel were pretty easy characters to write!

I apologize for any grammatical errors, I almost always miss a mistake when I proof read my stories so I'm sure I missed something!

And of course, enjoy!

Ciel's POV

"Ugghh, what the devil is going on…?" I wondered aloud, placing a hand on my throbbing head. I opened my eyes to slowly study my surroundings, but they were met by a curtain of sheer darkness. My heartbeat heightened in response and I tried to stand, but was held back by the clamps around my wrist. I struggled to break loose of whatever was holding me back but was bound by its force. I could hear the metallic clashing of chains as I struggled; someone had chained me to the wall.

"Help me!" I shouted as loud as I could manage, my voice hoarse from misuse.

"Heheheh, I'm afraid that won't be possible, Ciel Phantomhive," I heard a familiar voice taunting from the shadows. I knew that voice, I knew that voice...so to whom did it belong?

Whoever was mocking me struck a match, casting a silhouette on the wall. They were at the end of the room and I couldn't make out what they looked like, but I could tell that it was easily someone of my own stature. A child, perhaps?

My captor let out another deviant cackle as they slowly walked towards me. I heard the sound of heels clicking against the floor. It was then that I made the connection, but really, I should have known who it was all along.

He used the match to light up a torch he wielded in his right hand, illuminating a great portion of the room. I could see that I was being held in a large cell about the same size as my bedroom. There was nothing inside except for the chains linking me to the wall. I again looked to my captor, instantly confirming my suspicions.

"Alois…," I said, slowly drawing out each syllable of his name. I tried to make sense out of the circumstances, but my mind kept drawing a blank and I couldn't focus in between the ringing sensation in my ears. My head felt like led, and it felt like I was living inside a dream.

"I suppose you're pretty confused right about now," Alois stated, resting against the iron bars of the cell's entrance.

"What is the meaning of this?" I asked, trying to sound as menacing as possible. I was not willing to abandon my pride again, much less to Alois Trancy.

He only smirked. "I'm sure that you'll find out soon enough for yourself," he answered, avoiding my question.

"Stop dodging the matter at hand. I demand an answer."

"Ciel, Ciel, Ciel, always the impatient one." He sighed and jutted out a hip, placing a hand on it in impatience. "You're just dying to know, aren't you?"

I only stared at him coldly. I knew he would crack soon. If I only acted like I was mad at him, he would give it up. He was the weak type who always depended on others and demanded attention. The thought of anyone ever disliking him or being angry with him would be enough to nearly drive him insane. He was under the assumption that if anyone was displeased with him, it would lead to immediate abandonment, and he did not want to see that happen.

He huffed. "Alright. I suppose I can lend you a hint."

I smirked smugly. I knew I was right.

"Let's just say that I always get what I want. There, are you satisfied for now?"

"And just what in the world do you mean by that?" I asked, arching a brow in response. "We all know that you're a spoiled brat, so what is it that you could possibly want now? I thought all you had to do was whine a little and then Claude would be there in a heartbeat, ready to give you anything you wanted."

He pouted and stomped his feet. "As he should! What other use for a butler is there?!" He crossed his arms and smirked. "Besides, I've got Claude under my clutches once again, and my plan has already been put into action."

"You still didn't answer me. What is it that you want so desperately?"

Alois smiled darkly and paused for dramatic effect before answering. "You. I want you, Ciel Phantomhive."

My jaw dropped in shock. "M-me? What the hell do you want with me?"

"Hmm, we'll have to save that tidbit for later," he said, winking playfully, "that's a surprise. But like I said, I always get what I want, and you are mine, Ciel Phantomhive. I will receive what's rightfully mine!" He spiraled into a fit of hideous, greedy laughter, gripping the iron bars of the cell for support as he did so.

My mind was in shock as it tried to understand. Why did he want me so badly that he needed to lock me up? And what was he planning to use me for? How long had I been locked up before I awoke, and how much longer was he going to keep me prisoner? But the biggest question I had was how did he manage to make it past Sebastian?

Sebastian! That was right, how could I have forgotten about Sebastian? "S-Sebastian!" I stammered, forcing myself to take control of my voice. "I order you to release me from this place!"

Alois laughed scornfully. "Don't waste your breath, Ciel! I had Claude take care of your butler while you were napping, Sleeping Beauty." He laughed again. "Face it Ciel, you are mine now!"

I had been sleeping? That would explain why I had woken up in this hell hole. "Why was I asleep?" I demanded. I had a hunch as to what his answer would be.

"Do you remember the snacks we had earlier- the one's that Claude prepared?" He smiled deviously, making shivers run down my spine. "Those raspberry tarts...the one you ate, my dear, was laced with a very effective sleeping powder- so effective that it allowed you to sleep for a full eight hours! Isn't that wonderful?"

I growled in outrage. Inviting me to his manor, acting on business matters, and then drugging me so that he could defile me with whatever scheme he had planned in mind. How dare he humiliate me in this way!

"Oh dear, it's getting late. I really should be going." Alois turned and began to walk away.

"No, get back here! Release me at once!" I commanded. I struggled again to break loose of my chains.

"Who do you think you're talking to? I'm not your butler. If anything, I am your master." He leaned down and whispered in a chilling voice, "That will become evident in due time." He stuck out his tongue seductively, revealing the mark of the contract for only a brief instant before he turned and skipped away. "See you tonight!"

My heart pounded in fear, suspecting the worse. It surprised me, actually. Despite all that I had been through, I hadn't felt this way since my parents had died. I hadn't felt this strong feeling of dread and uncertainty, despite all of the incidents I had been through since then. I tried to remain strong- I was a Phantomhive after all- but flashbacks of the events following their deaths began to replay in my mind. Memories of being beaten, raped, laughed upon...the memory as that brand came down and forever scarred me. It was all coming back to me once again. I didn't know what Alois was capable of, but I made it a point to not underestimate him.

"Sebastian, where are you?" I choked out between my attempts to hide the sobs that now were beginning to wrack through my body. "Damn it, I command you to come to me at once!"

I tried to stay awake, but my mind and body could endure no more for one day. My eyelids were starting to grow heavy and I was once again being submerged in the darkness.

Once again thanks for reading! What did you guys think? Should I continue writing this? I had planned for this story to have multiple chapters but I haven't written another chapter in a while (thank you, writer's block), so if you guys think that I should keep writing this, please let me know!

Reviews and critique are always appreciated :)
