Took me long enough to post this. =p Well, here's chapter 2.


Chapter 2

Ciel found the morning rays way too long to reach the sky; he lay in bed unmoving with one arm over his eyes. The boy did not have much sleep last night as his thoughts kept coming back to the look in Sebastian's eyes; a deep crimson red of hatred; hatred for him. He waited, hoping the morning would come by quickly so that Sebastian would come to him like every other morning in his usual self.

'What if he doesn't come?' Ciel thought losing count of how many time that thought had come to his mind throughout the night. He took in a deep breath as he tried to ignore that childish thought; so what if he doesn't come? It's not like he cared, that was what he always tell himself every night since he met Sebastian; at first it worked but recently he became more and more scared that one day his most trusted butler would eventually leave him, alone and unwanted, all because of his childish pride. Eventually he got bored of sleeping, or rather, trying to sleep as he sat up and got off the bed.

He went over to his drawers and pulled out a shirt and trousers and put them on to the best of his abilities. He could still not get used to dressing himself, he could just about manage putting on clothes that were of simple design which did not have any buttons however he doesn't have many of those. He then moved into the bathroom and brushed his teeth and combed his tangled blue hair, when finished he returned to the bedroom and picked up the eye patch from the table beside the bed and tied it round his head. Opening the doors, he stepped out, grabbing his coat along the way as he made his way into the garden.

Sitting himself on the porch, he stared at the sky as it gradually began to get lighter. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice as a figure began to approach him.

"Well, well, well, out on your own so early this morning? Hehhehheh…" Ciel immediately stood and turned to see where the voice was from. Around the corner, a dark cloaked figure came into view.

"Undertaker!" The boy said surprised and angry that someone snuck up behind him. "What are you doing here?" He paused before adding, "How did you get in here?" But the person just ignored him.

"Is there something on your mind young Earl?" Ciel looked away before answering.

"Nothing. It's not like it's any of your business either!" Ciel snapped, though Undertaker didn't seem fazed by the irritated boy.

"Ohhhh? Hehhehheh. Well, if you do, I do have something that might be of service." Undertaker took out from under his cloak a vial which was filled with a light blue liquid. "It's a new remedy which I ensure will relieve any troubles you may have. Hehhehheh…" Undertaker kept his usual smirk as he handed the vial to the reluctant child who held it in his hand still looking suspiciously at it. He opened his mouth to say something else but notice that he was already alone. What was he even there for?

"Tsk. I need to get a better security." He muttered to himself, returning to his room; in a matter of seconds, the doors opened again revealing the butler that had been plaguing his thoughts not so long ago.

"Hmm…Rare to see you up on your own so early, my Lord." Came the reply, his expression was normal, too normal. Ciel unconsciously hid the vial behind his back as he sat back down against the softness of his pillows waiting for Sebastian to pour the tea that he had brought in. He slipped the vial under his pillow while he took of his coat, exchanging it with the tea in Sebastian's hand, leaving the vial to be forgotten.


Later that day, Ciel was sitting in his office with his paper works in front of him. He then sank back into his chair, head tipped backwards with his eyes closed.

'Ugh. I don't want to work anymore…' His eyes open while he turned his chair to face the window, the first thing he had notice was a figure clad in black. But what aggravated him was the fact that he was leant over and playing with another cat.

"Tsk." Before thinking he immediately called for his butler. "Sebastian." Within five minutes, the butler was now knocking on his door. "Come in."

"Young master, is there something you need?"

"What took you so long?" Sebastian blinked a couple times before answering.

"My apologies, My Lord." He said each word slowly and calmly. "I was attending to the garden an-"

"Isn't that supposed to be Finny's job?" Ciel interrupted, who was now just angry because of such blatant lies being spewed.

'How dare he lie to me!'

"I had to clean up the mes-"

"Enough!" Ciel snapped, if his butler is just going to lie then there was nothing else to be said. "You're dismissed."

"Youn-"

"Did you not hear me?" Sebastian bowed and left the room, not before Ciel caught the look in his eyes which made all the anger he had replaced by other emotions; emotions which he had always tried to ignore but right now he could not ignore the pain he feels.

He laid his head in his arms on the table thinking what he should do now; the more he thought about it, the more he had panicked, his nightmares was slowly becoming a reality and he was making it happen. So what if Sebastian liked cats, he didn't have to yell at him for it again and again, what was he thinking? He had no one else to blame but himself.

The thought went immediately to the vial which Undertaker had given to him this morning; slowly he stood up and made his way towards his bedroom hiding along the way to avoid any encounters with any of the servants. Finally he stood outside, pushing the doors open to his room, hoping that Sebastian hadn't found the bottle while cleaning. With one hand, he took the pillow and slowly lifting it up only to find that it was not there.

'Damn!' That demon was way too thorough, there was no way he could have not noticed it. Sighing, he decided to return to his study, but as he turned he saw something sparkle. Stopping, he knelt down and there just under the bed was the light blue liquid.

'The bottle must have fallen down the back.' He thought to himself examining the liquid closely, opening it with his free hand.

'What am I thinking? It could be poison for all I know…' He tried to reason to himself but the liquid was already on his lips as he drank.

Immediately after swallowing, he almost regretted it instantly as his body started to heat up; his legs shaking, crumbling to the floor. His arms wrapped around himself and he lied on the floor, his body felt like it was burning, the pain was so intense that he could not even muster the slightest sound to call for help, he could barely even think of anything but the pain. However, slowly, the burning faded, eventually coming to a stop. Still shaking he tried to move his arms and legs though there was something different in his movements. He opened his eyes, the vision still slightly blurred from the experience; blinking, the surrounding slowly took its defined shapes. However, what he noticed was that everything in the room has become a lot bigger.

'Wh-what's going on?' He tried to stand but something was holding him back, instead he attempted to turn towards the door; while doing so he caught the reflection of himself in the glass of the window and stared at what he had become.

'Wha-what is going on?'


That's the end of the 2nd chapter!

MS Word is silly. It corrects words that are correct. I re-corrected most of them but there may be a few that I missed.

Ciel may be slightly OCC since though he does make rash decision, I kind of exaggerated it a tad in this…and I think the more I write the more depress it went…

I was debating who was best to give the potion and decided undertaker, but what do you think? I also think that the vial scene seems familiar but then again I did read nearly all SebxCiel fics there is here (..I think I only missed out like 5 fics) I may have merged ideas from different fics. So I apologise if anything is really similar to other works.

So what do you think happen to Ciel?

R&R =)
