"Life isn't happy. It only has happy moments."

The sun was shining brightly in the blue sky above them. It was Spring, right at the beginning of The Season. They had decided to have a picnic outside in the beautiful mansion's gardens. He was playing hide-and-seek with his cousin and it was her turn to hide.
He counted until he reached a hundred, turned around and opened his eyes to start looking for Elizabeth. Soon after, he heard a noise and smirked at the thought of the girl being that noisy even at this kind of game.
As soon as he reached the trees, the noises got louder. It seemed that whatever or whoever was making it, was on the move so he started running.
More and more he ran and deeper into the trees he went, but there were no signs of Lizzy. He had run so much into the forest that now he couldn't tell what was ahead of him. Now that he came to think about it, everything was black.
Minutes passed by and his fear grew with every second he left behind. Then, he heard it...
The voice was loud and clear, but even though it was gentle, he could feel the authority and the power in it.
"What are you? What do you want?"
"My, what an eager child... Who am I? That's a difficult question to answer... But what do I want? That one is fairly simple... I want You."
The little strength and courage Ciel had managed to regain to form those two questions went away with that anser. Who was the man and why did he want him?
"W-why?"
There was no answer.
"Answer me! That's an order!"
"Why... That's the reason."
"This doesn't make sense! Show yourself!"
"Yes, my Lord."
