Waking up from her terrifying dream, Kiatra sat up in her bed and screamed. As she stares at the wall in amazement, she sees nothing but darkness so she turns on the light. Her foster parents from the other room pound on the wall three times.
"Shut up and go to bed!" the woman yells. Kiatra then turned off her light, lied back down on her side and stared straight ahead. She closed her eyes to try to go back to sleep when all of a sudden, she hears something fall in her room. She opens her eyes and lifts her head."Miffy?" she wondered if her cat had knocked over what ever had fallen, but her cat had been lying at her feet. Miffy looked up and meowed. Kiatra looked back at her room, again, seeing nothing but darkness. As she looks away for half a second to turn on her light, she hears the window open. She gasps and quickly turns on her light...but all she sees is her window open and her dark black curtains blowing in the breeze.
Kiatra got up to close the window. As she walks forward, she looks around at her floor wondering what made this mess. Books were everywhere, clothes were everywhere, shoes, blankets, towels, her whole room was a disaster. She reached out of the hole in her wall which is the window to grab the two glass panes that have just mysteriously opened. She looks down outside to see footprints. She lets go of the panes and holds the windowsill so she doesn't fall, then leans out to get a better look.
The footprints looked like they were a human's made by a boot. They were facing her house, but the prints beside it were going the other way. Kiatra shrugged the closed the window.
As the window shut, her cat screeched and a cold, icy sensation ran down her spin as goosebumps rose on her arms and legs. She knew she had to turn around, but was so scared it was as if her skeleton froze right inside her flesh and body. She was terrified. Not knowing what was happening, she turned around quicker than a wolf when he has just been shot.
A tall man stood at the foot of her bed, eyes glowing red. The man was dressed in a black suit, black tie, and white gloves. On her bed sat a young man, about her age, maybe little younger. An eye patch covered his left eye, and he was dressed like he had just come from a party in the 18th century. She looked in horror as two strangers just stood by her bed, dressed in old clothing, both with mysterious grins upon their faces.
"W-who...who are you?" she stuttered.
"Allow me to formal introduce myself," the tall man began. "I am Sebastian Michealis, I am the former butler for the Phantomhive household and now am the proud butler of the last remaining Phantomhive family."
"That would be me." said the young man. "My name is Ciel Phantomhive."
"Okay...what are you doing here?" Kiatra was still confused and still on high alert.
"You called us." said the boy.
"When?"
"Before you fell asleep." finished the butler.
"W-what?"
"Ugh." the boy was irritated. "We're going to help you find your parents. Remember that speech you gave before you fell asleep?" he pointed to the box Kiatra had been going through that held her father's belongings.
"That wasn't a dream?"
"No, ma'am. The part where you saw the eye, and all the other things, that was the dream-" the butler was interrupted.
"I wouldn't call it a dream, more of a vision." finished the boy.
"So, you are the guys that appeared in my dream, you're the guys who are gonna help me find my parents?"
"Well..." began the boy. "First, we are demons. Second, don't forget we won't do it for free."
Kiatra was confused. "Free?"
"Sir," began the butler. "I think she has forgotten what she has to do after we have helped her."
"Well, do you remember?"
Kiatra shook her head.
"You give us your soul and we eat it."
"What?!" Kiatra shouted.
"We're demons, we eat human souls. It's not like you're gonna die.
"If I may," Sebastian interrupted.
"Yes, Sebastian will explain it." the boy had finished talking.
The man continued on. "After you are completely satisfied or after we have done all we can, you must repay us. This is not charity work. And we demons make promises with humans that after we finish our job, we get their soul."
Kiatra stood quiet in amazement. She didn't know what to do. "How do I-"
"Make the deal?" the boy began to speak. "We, as in, Sebastian and I, stamp your body with a contract...the upside down star. As long as the star is on your body, that means you have made a full commitment to give us your soul."
"What if I just wash the star off?"
Ciel began to laugh hysterically. Kiatra was more confused than she had been in this whole conversation. Ciel stopped laughing and looked at her with a serious face.
"You don't wash off something that is burned into our body." Kiatra gasped.
"What?" Ciel lifted his eye patch to show her his contract and Sebastian removed his glove to show her his.
"So?" began Ciel? "What will you do? Come with us and find your parents?"
"Or?" Kiatra asked.
"...You can spend the rest of your life confused and in misery."
