"Alright, it's show time Ciel!"
A young child, no older then fourteen, stood in the middle of a stage in an old abandoned auditorium. There were thousands of people sitting in the seats. They had paid their money to see his grotesque, deformed self. They also were expecting his blonde friend, who they often called his twin. But he had run away; escaped the horrible life of practically an animal.
He looked down at his feet, which were combined with that of a lion. He had a cat's tail and ears, and his eyes were replaced with real feline eyes. He hardly had any clothes on so they could see he was practically a furry. All that was covering his skin was a small pair of boxers that hardly fit and were torn up for effect.
His hands were cuffed together to make sure he didn't escape them, and one of his legs were chained to his cage in the back on the stage. He was treated and fed like an animal, but had the mind and heart of a human. Nobody cared though; all he was to everyone else was an odd person that people paid to see.
The ring master, who wore tight, black pants and a skin-tight white tee shirt to show off his own features, stood beside the boy. His eyes were a sickly neon green, and his hair was long and bright red. Some people mistaken him for a girl by appearance, but when they heard his voice they knew the truth.
"Now, for the one most of you have been waiting for, Ciel the furry human!" The man yelled to the crowd, who cheered.
The bluenette slowly walked up on the stage, a small collar that's been attached to him so long it's cutting into his neck becoming easier to see for everyone. He glanced around at the audience as they stared is awe, or grinned darkly from their perverse thoughts. He noticed one man who looked different then what he normally seen. He wasn't sure what the thoughts running through his mind were; He wasn't used to seeing someone look at him that way.
Ciel sighed and slowly turned around, scars on his back visible from the lashings he's received for trying to escape. His whole back was red and inflamed; a few of the thin lines of open skin bleeding. He slowly turned himself back around. He noticed the man from earlier was close to the front row now, giving him a curious stare. He had black hair and crimson red eyes, and his clothes looked expensive.
The ring master walked up with a whip and a long, silver sword. Ciel knew that this was his torture he had to endure, but he was still afraid. His eyes shut for a moment as he took in a long, quivering breath to calm himself. He took a few steps back as his eyes opened.
He heard the crack of the whip echo in the room as the searing pain began in his back. Some gasped, others cheered. Either way, they all wanted it to continue. They wanted to see a monster, himself, to be punished and beat. Everyone wanted it, everyone except that man who was staring at him with that familiar look of fear.
"Was he worried about me?" Ciel thought, "Why? Isn't this how I'm supposed to be?"
After five more whip lashes, he felt the piercing cold metal of the sword slide down his left arm. Ciel could feel salty tears falling down his face, but he wouldn't scream. He'd be punished if he did. He'd been set in the dog's cage enough times and stitched back together to know better than to yell out in pain.
Ten minutes of the sword slicing his skin, and he walked away. He walked off the stage to where the people who understood him were. They were all monsters like him. Ciel felt as if they were his family, but he knew better. They would all escape to.
There were three others behind their curtain. One was named Elizabeth. She had blonde, curly pigtails and emerald green eyes. Her feet and legs had been exchanged for a horses, making her the human centaur. She was forced to wear a long, crimson red, torn up satin ball gown. It looked like a dress they would wear in the Victorian Era. It had puffy shoulders and a petticoat skirt.
The next person was named Hannah. She was a demon. Some people wondered why she was there at first, for she appeared human. She had silky, long white hair. Her skin was a lovely caramel, and her eyes were a navy blue. She could outrun a cheetah, lift more than a crane, and she could turn into a mouse. Her dress was a purple maids dress, also set in the Victorian Era.
Lastly, there was Drocell. He loved dolls, so he was practically turned into one. His eyes were made of glass stained a deep purple, and his teeth were replaced with porcelain. His body still had bones and veins, but they were completely different from a human so his limbs could be slightly parted for a wooden doll look. He wore a black top hat with a red satin bow over his red hair, and his pale white skin was covered with a traditional blue coat and a pair of black pants, and dress shoes to top off the look.
Ciel smiled softly at each of them, his tail swaying slowly. They were forbidden to ever speak when the master could hear.
There were five cages in the otherwise empty room. They looked like human-size bird cages, black iron shaped into a dome-like form. They each had a chain, one for each member of the freak show. One was empty, where Alois was once chained. The other cages had small, silver pet bowls, one for food and another for water. They each contained a loaf of cheap bread and old, dirtied water. There was also a pile of papers, like an animal.
The bluenette sighed and walked into his cage, nibbling on the stale bread. If someone was to come in to see them up close, or even try to buy one of the beasts, they were to be put in their cages. It was a rule, since the last time that someone came and they were out of their cages became Alois's dinner.
Soon, they all went into their own cell that they had to call home. They could hear the faint footsteps of someone with their master walking towards the door that leads to their room. The old, wooden door creaked opened into the dark room. The ring master flipped on the switch to the lights, revealing a cemented floor and molding walls. The man behind him was the man Ciel recognized from earlier. He looked disgusted by the living conditions, and could hardly take his eyes off the bluenette.
There was a man with them, one that was at every single show. He was always there for some reason even though he never showed any emotions. He had black hair, and wore the same outfit as Sebastian minus a bow instead of a tie. His eyes were gold, and he frowned slightly when he seen them.
"Which one are you interested in, sir?" Their master said with a small smirk, obviously knowing what he was going to say.
The crimson-eyed man nodded towards Ciel, "Him. How much."
The three watched silently as they started to come up with a price, not noticing the other male at first.
Ciel was the first to see the other man move towards them. His eyes widened when he dropped a piece of candy in each of their bowls, mumbling to them.
"If I could buy more of your freedom, I would, " The male mumbled so only they could hear, "You don't deserve to live this way, even if you do seem different." He stood up and walked back to his place behind the red-eye stranger.
The ring master opened the door to Ciel's cage and unlocked the shackles binding his wrists and leg, then backed off to let the boy slip free from the small cell.
The bluenettes eyes widened for a moment as he looked at his hands, embedded from being attached to him for so long. He could see the inflamed, infected scars they had left on his flesh. He slowly stood up and walked out of his cage for the last time, taking the small candy the other man had given him.
"Pleasure doing business again, Grelle." The golden-eyed male stated as he handed a check to Ciel's old master.
Grelle chuckled, "And you, Claude."
Claude sighed, turning and starting towards the door, "Let's go Sebastian."
The male apparently named Sebastian nodded, then smiled softly at Ciel, "Come with us kitten. I'm your new master."
The boy gulped slightly but followed them down the corridor and out to the open air. It was different then what he was used to, which was warm, sickening humidity. It's cool and open, and there's more to see.
"Ciel!" Sebastian yelled from an expensive-looking car, "Come on!"
Ciel ran to him, sliding into the leather seats in the back. Sebastian sat in front, and Claude was in passenger. The golden-eyed male looked back at him and smirked a little, then turned back to the front and stared out the window.
"What was that about...?" He thought, "And what did master mean by doing business again...? Did Alois really escape?"

The car, that Ciel has figured out it a limousine, pulls into a clearly expensive apartment complex. The place stretched across the lot with several expensive home-styled apartments, and a single large box that was clearly for mail and bills. The exterior of it all was a yellowing white siding. There was cobblestone in the middle of the lot, the large area of it outlining a small garden-like area. Next to all of that was a small private playground, everything on it had been redone in stainless steel.
Sebastian was the first to get out, Claude soon following.
"Ciel, come on," Sebastian sighed as he opened the door for the bluenette, "This is where we live."
The boy nodded slightly, slowly slipping out. He felt a shiver down his spine as his bare feet touched the cold, wet pavement. He was used to cold, but certainly not wet. It made him slightly uneasy.
Claude sighed, walking to one of the homes and walking in. Sebastian watched and chuckled, "I see he's going to take care of his own pet. Let's show you where you'll be living then."
Ciel nodded and stayed close to the man, following his steps carefully as they approached the home farthest away from the rest of the complex. It looked well maintenanced. There was a trimmed oak tree on the edge of the lot that was clearly taken care of by Sebastian himself. The lawn was clearly recently mowed, and the house looked newer then the rest.
The crimson-eyed man sighed as he pulled out some keys from his pocket, and then began to flip through each one. There had to be at least twenty different keys on it!
"You have a lot of keys..." Ciel shyly mumbled, looking at each one.
"Yes, I do," The man chuckled, "One for each business, car, and home that I own...Here we are." He slid a silver key into the lock and turned it, the click of it unlocking echoing in Ciel's ears.
The door slowly slid open, revealing wood floors and pure black walls. There was a set of stairs that were blood red that lead up to the next floor almost meeting them at the door. Close to them was a fireplace made of stone, and an elegant black loveseat in front of it. There was a small side table with a few framed photos on it, and a cup that clearly held this morning's coffee.
He noticed a dark wooden door to the side, and an archway leading to the kitchen next to it. He sighed and took slow steps inside, taking in his surroundings.
Sebastian sighed and smiled, "Welcome to your new home, kitten," He walked past the stairs and into a door that Ciel could barely make out, "Come here I'll show you your room."
The bluenette curiously followed, looking at the many expensive paintings and posters on the walls. He recognized a few of them from stores they had passed on the way here. Spencers, Hot Topic, and some anime shop were to name a few.
He made his way into a smaller room, but it was still huge all the same. The room was black and navy blue, from the blue walls to the black floors. There was a small single bed in the corner of the room with a single pillow and blue satin sheets. The black end table beside it had a small drawer and a lamp on it, with the occasional decal. There was a walk in closet, and a door leading to a private bathroom.
"Well, I'll leave you to explore if you wish. It's late, so you can sleep." Ciel's master said with a small, comforting smile as he walked out of the room.
The young boy whimpered nervously before climbing into his new bed. It was foreign to him, to be treated with kindness and have luxury items. He slid the expensive covers over his cold body, bundling a small bit of it and hugging it like it's a person. His blue orb slowly closed, allowing the darkness to invade his mind as he drifted into the unconsciousness.

Sebastian made his way quickly into his study. He sighed and flipped his black locks away from his eyes as he made his way up the stairs, stopping for a moment to look at the door that his new kitten was currently behind.
After a moment, he finished his climb and walked down a dark hallway. His expensive shoes clacked against the wood as he made his way to a door at the far end, opening it and sighing softly.
It was the master bathroom, featuring a luxury tub and a shower next to it. They were both black, the shower having a glass door. The sink to the left of all of it was made of black marble, like the tub was. There was also a black toilet.
Sebastian walked over to the sink and turned a silver knob, cold water pouring out in the sink. He slipped a white glove covered in blood out of his pocket and dropped it in the water. His pale fingers reached towards a small bottle of soap as he let out another sigh.
"What I do for that man..." He frowned at himself as he cleaned the glove of the red substance, "I'm always trying to keep him satisfied so I get paid..."
Once he finished with the glove, he tossed it aside in a pile of dirty clothes. He started to undo the buttons of his tailcoat, tossing it aside. Soon, the rest of his clothes were on the floor and the steam coming from the hot bath water filled the air.
The raven-haired man smiled as he slid in the tub. His eyes closed for a moment as he soaked in the water and thought about everything that had happened. They had just saved Ciel, the one that Alois called his best friend. Alois ran away, and Claude was still annoying.
He reached for a red soap bar, wrapping his fingers around it and washing himself off. He could feel his body relaxing as the lavender scent filled his nose. He frowned at himself when he noticed he had a slight erection. Could it have picked a worse time to appear? Well...Yes...But it's still annoying.
Sebastian trying to get himself soft by thinking of some random disturbing thing. Ghosts coming out of nowhere, a violent death, Ciel being abused...
He sighed as the last thought got him ever worse off. Why was it such a turn on? Well...He is a sadist...So it probably would arouse him. He looked at it and gave in to his desires.
"This better be fast..." He grumbled to himself as he wrapped his hand around his boner and slowly pumped it. He bit his bottom lip slightly as he picked up speed, letting out small grunts and moans.
His body relaxed in the tub, his crimson orbs closing slightly. He could feel his hips involuntarily thrusting into his hand as he played with himself, and his body beginning to tremble a bit.
"Ciel..." He moaned as quietly as he could, feeling himself getting close already. His mind went blank as he gasped out the boy's name one last time, hitting his climax.
Sebastian panted as he watched his seed fall into the water, which was now cold from him sitting inside it for so long.
He looked at the clock, "How long have I...It's almost midnight..." He sighed and slid out of the tub, drying himself off with a black towel and draining the water. He grabbed some grey sweat pants and slipped them on quickly, walked out and to the room across the hall.
Before he could even open the door to his room, he heard a loud cry for help. He instantly ran down the stairs, recognizing instantly that the frightened voice was none other than Ciel. His hand quickly took hold of the silver knob and turned it, opening the door to see the young neko thrashing and crying in his slumber.
"Ciel..." He sighed as we walked over; shaking him gently in an attempt to wake him, "Please wake up Ciel..."
After a moment, the fearful boy's eyes shot open and he sat up. Their eyes met for a moment before the poor boy burst into tears, trembling as he buried his face in his hands.
"Please don't punish me...I-I'm s-sorry for scaring you..." Ciel managed to whisper. He gasped when he felt arms round him.
Sebastian held him close as he sat on the bed, "I won't hurt you. I can promise you that. What was your dream of...?"
The boy whimpered and shook his head, clearly not telling. He looked as if he was about to get shot in the face, filled with fear.
"Ciel..." The male sighed, looking at him with a concerned look. Did he do something wrong? What have they told him...?
Ciel lied back on the bed, mumbling to himself as he fell back to sleep after a moment.
"What the hell is going on...What don't I know about you that I need to...?" Sebastian thought as he stood up slowly and walked to his own room, "I will find out..."
Okay, not exactly 5,000 words, but hey. It's 3,000 and I'm leaving for Ohio tomorrow. So I don't have my goal. But what do you think? Is it pretty good? Please review, it tells me people are reading and convinces me to write more! So Yeah, I hope you enjoyed it.
By the way, do any of you play The Sims 2? If you do, go on ModTheSims. Info, and look up my name on here. I have a Ciel Phantomhive Sim, and I'm very tempted to do more!
