A/N: This came out when I saw this fanart on Tumblr. And I'm not really satisfied with the writing but I just wanted to type it up…

I hope you enjoy!

Did no one warn the boy to never go near those creatures?

Yes, everyone warned him.

But the boy was curious, curious as to why he was told to stay away. Curious as to why people told him that they were dangerous creatures.

He had seen them once with his father. They were out on a boat for the hopes of catching fish but with no luck. And when they were about to head back, one of them jumped out from the glistening water. The boy remembered its beauty. Yes only its flawless beauty. The glittering blue scales, the strong toned body, the jet black hair, the red crimson eyes…

And he remembered how he met eyes with it. Those crimson eyes meeting with the boy's midnight blues. Since that day the boy could no longer forget the creature.

So that was why the boy sat at the edge of the dark waters. The night was cool and it stung his bare skin that was not covered by his nightshirt. With shivering hands, he dipped his hand into the cold water and created small ripples across the motionless surface. Then he pulled out his cold numb hands to stare up at the half-hidden moon. The ghostly light created small reflections across the motionless water, giving it a mystic glow. A small fog surrounded the waters as the boy shivered in his nightdress. And clearly ignoring the warnings given to him ever since he was born, he dipped his hand into the waters again.

Suddenly a wet hand with black nails grabbed the boy's hand and he was yanked towards the water. The boy screamed as he plunged into the icy cold waters. He splashed in the water as he tried to tug his hand from the other hand's grasp but the creature was too strong. He struggled some more before he felt himself lacking air. Then after a last attempt at struggling, the boy stilled.

And for the first time in his life, Ciel Phantomhive knew how it felt to drown.
