Ciel was alone, the rain relentless. He was lost amoung the endless, ancient evergreens, feeling caged and frusterated.
Why did I have to be so foolish?

Ciel kicked a large rock in frusteration and yelped in pain. He collapsed the ground, wincing and holding his foot. He groaned; he had landed in the mud and was now thouroughly filthy. Ciel pushed himself up and headed for shelter underneath the boughs of a large tree. He shivered.

The sun's rays began to die, and Sebastian was beyond worried. He paced back and forth in his master's lavish room, his eyes intense. Where had Ciel gotten to? He had run off hours ago and hadn't returned.
He grit his teeth.
"I am such a fool." he murmured to himself.

A dish flew across the room and missed Sebastian's smug smiling face. Ciel howled with rage and launched himself at his butler
"How could you fail to tell me this?" Ciel yelled, punched Sebastian's chest. Sebastian restrained the boy
"You idiot! You filthy demonic bastard! How dare you keep my father's letter from me all this time? It was my right! He was my father!" Ciel's eyes welled with tears as he clutched the crumpled letter in his hands.

Ciel,

I am going to die and so is your mother. I am so sorry that I will not be there to raise you properly, that you must bear the burden of life without us to support you. I will never forgive myself for not being here, but it is too late now, my son. A demon is going to kill us and you alone will be spared. And so, with my final hours, I give you this, a key to what you will receive on your thirteenth year. It is something that may very well help you gain the peace you will so desperately desire. Trust me when I tell you this, I would never have placed this responsibilty upon such a young child.

Your mother and I will always love you no matter what sins you commit or if you despise us. We will continue to love you even in death.

Father

Ciel wept bitterly, his fist still pounding Sebastian's chest. He was beyond anger, beyond any point of reason. Ciel had reached his breaking point. He pulled away from Sebastian and dragged himself to his bed
"I hate you Sebastian. Leave." Ciel said, his voice hoarse and shaking "Now."

Sebastian departed at once and headed to his own room. Mey-rin approached him
"Mr. S-Sebastian, are you and the young l-lord alright?" She asked
Sebastian said nothing and strode briskly down the hall to his room.

The door slammed behind him and Sebastian let go. His faced contorted in frusteration as his demonside dominated him. Sebastian punched the wall, a large crack going up the wall. He shouted in rage and collasped on his bed. A tear escaped, which he promptly wiped away.
"Ciel..." he murmured, full of emotion. He held his head in his hands as calmed himself.

Sebastian clenched his fists.
I need to find him.
Without a moment's hesitation, he jumped from the window.

The smell of rain was all around him, but Ciel's scent was fresh and powerful. Sebastian ran furiously. He needed to find him immediately.

Ciel shivered and let out a large sneeze.
Great, I've caught cold.
Ciel bit his lip and forced back tears. He so desperately wanted to let go and cry, but for some unknown reason, he had forbidden himself to do so. Ciel huddled closer to the tree.

"My lord!" Sebastian called through the trees. The sun was almost completely gone, the darkness alright set in "My lord!"

Sebastian caught his master's scent strongly and bolted for it's source.
"Lord Ciel! Are you there? Answer me!"
