Title: "Nostalgia and Contract"
Pairing: Alois Trancy & Ciel Phantomhive
Summary: The changes that happen after Alois created a contract with Ciel and Sebastian. Will Alois give Ciel his 100% trust after knowing that he broke something irreplaceable?
While at the living room…
'Dad, Mum! Look! I got another A at school! It's in Latin!' Alois said.
'That's great Alois! But I'm sorry I need to go to the office. ` Alois' dad said and left the room.
'Hey Mum! Loo-` Alois said to attract his mother's attention.
'I'm sorry Alois but I need to go somewhere for today. Sorry` Alois' mum replied and left the room as well.
`P-please don't leave me alone. It's dark and lonely in here. I'm afraid. Somebody… somebody help me!' Alois screamed and cried.
'I can help you if you make a contract with the devil.' A familiar voice said.
'Who are you?' Alois asked.
'I'm your servant.' The familiar voice replied.
'W-who….'
Alois sat up. 'Is that a dream? Where am I?' Alois stood up and looked around. 'What a familiar place. Did I use to live here? Probably not because this is too much` Alois looked at the China wares that surrounds him; the fresh roses and the silk night gown he wore. He was too excited on what surrounds him that he has forgotten his nightmare. When Alois was about to open the curtains, open the window and have a seat at the veranda, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." Alois said gently but he was too nervous to get near the door.
"Good morning Master Alois. Young Master awaits you at his office also your breakfast. Would you like me to help you get ready for school?" Sebastian then lowered his head to show his respect towards Alois. This confused Alois.
"Umm… Senior Sebastian, why are you talking to me that way? And no I don't need help. I can do it by myself. Please raise your head. I should be the one who must show my respect towards you." Alois ran towards Sebastian. But before he reached Sebastian, he felt a tingly feeling inside of him. Sebastian grinned.
"If you do not need me, please get changed and go to Young Master's office. It seems we have to talk about something important. Remember, it's what you wished for." Sebastian gave an evil smile and left the room.
Alois dressed up ready for school, tied his necktie properly then he notices something. He noticed a mark on his right hand. 'What is this? Is this… the symbol… of…' before Alois could answer his own question, someone knocked on the door again; it was Tanaka.
"Master Alois, the Young Master has called for you. He wants to see you right now." Tanaka said politely.
"R-right. Can you take me there? I have some questions with Ciel as well." Alois is overwhelmed with the mysterious feeling that surrounds the house as well.
"Right at once, Master" Tanaka lead the way to Ciel's office. Alois was looking all around the mansion while walking. He noticed that the mansion was too old for the modern time but yet, everything around it still looks new. Alois felt tingly once again. As soon as he felt it, he also felt a pain in his chest.
"Is there a problem, Master Alois" Tanaka asked as Alois stopped walking behind him.
"N-no. I'm okay. Are we almost there?" Alois then followed Tanaka while he held his chest in order to cover the pain.
"Yes, Master Alois. In fact, we're here" Tanaka stepped beside and let Alois entered the room. Tanaka and Alois were in front of the huge, pine and black two-door. Alois opened the door and the room was dark, very dark that Alois couldn't even see himself. Once he stepped in to the room, Tanaka closed the doors and Alois was touching every single thing in order to keep track of his path. Alois saw a glowing light, straight in front of him; as he gets nearer the more he recognizes the source of the light as well as the symbol of the light; the crest in his right hand, it glows brighter and brighter as he gets near to the light source.
"Good morning, Alois. Sebastian, open the lights. It seems Alois has forgotten what happened yesterday."
"Yes, Young Master." The light opened up and he saw Ciel, sitting in the middle of the room, drinking tea while Sebastian stands beside him.
"Did you have a nice sleep last night, Alois?" Ciel said while he looks at his reflection in the tea cup, without his eye patch.
"C-Ciel, tell me! Did I forget something important! My hand has a weird marking on it, whenever I'm near you, it glows – it hurts – it's so painful! My head, my chest! HELP ME!" Alois screamed. He felt pain as Ciel stood up and walk towards him. He screamed… he cried and even knelt down the floor.
"Alois don't worry! Sebastian, could you get out for a minute? I need to talk to my master" Ciel requested. Sebastian looked shocked as to Ciel's request. He didn't dare to question his master but also, he didn't look pleased. With the emotion he has, he left the room and walked away.
"C-Ciel, w-what's happening…? I-I-is this the contract? WHAT'S HAPPENING? THE PAIN… THE MEMORIES… EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO ME, WHICH KILLED ME INSIDE, WHY CAN I REMEMBER ALL OF IT? I thought you're going to help me? What's happening?" Alois grasp Ciel's arm.
Ciel tries to struggle Alois tight grasp but he then remembered the memories in the past on how Alois begged for his life; it's not much of a difference for Ciel but this time, it's not amusing as Ciel would've thought. Is it pity? No, is it because he is his master and therefore must not obey his orders? Probably it's that OR it's because he felt something… something he couldn't tell himself.
"Alois, listen to me. I am now your servant; I will help you from now on. Don't worry! I will help you get revenge on your family, the family that left you behind together with your beloved brother, Luca."
"Luca? You know Luca? You know my brother?"
"Yes! Luca was once your older brother and died in order to save you. He offered his soul to Hannah Annafellows and I never would've thought that I am meeting him but apparently, you lost him once again because of someone, didn't you?" Alois didn't answer but instead, he cried and cried and cried. 'What should I do to make Alois stop? It pains me to see my master, crying like this'
Ciel hugged the crying Alois tightly then he said; "Alois… Master, stop! I don't want to see you like this. I promise I will carry out your revenge so stop. I will never leave your side. I promise you that."
Alois couldn't respond to him any longer. He cried and never stopped. After a few minutes, Ciel ordered Sebastian to get something Alois could drink and then drove them school.
At School
"Alois, leave everything to me." Ciel whispered in Alois' ears.
"Ciel, your promise, don't ever break it and that's an order" Alois gave a cold look to Ciel. Ciel smirked and seems to be amused to how Alois response to him.
"I promise." The bell rang and they both went to classes. Sebastian, who was following them, was not amused.
Since Alois was very tired, he slept through 1st and 2nd period and had the same dream he had this morning. The bell rang and that woke him up. He looked around and wants to see Ciel. Alois stood up from his seat and left the room to find for Ciel. He looked in the next room, the cafeteria and outside; the only place is the rooftop; so he went upstairs but…
"Young Master, do you know what you're doing? You know it's against the contract! Why are you telling him something impossible?" Sebastian yelled at Ciel who doesn't seem to listen. Alois heard every word that Sebastian had said. He refused to leave as he wants to know if what Sebastian is saying is true.
"I know what I'm saying is not listed in the contract. I'm making him hope something that won't happen but he was once my enemy and he haven't experienced enough pain." Ciel said. Alois heard his response.
Anger filled Alois' heart. He wanted more revenge, but this time, not only from his family but also from Ciel Phantomhive. Alois ran downstairs, away from school, away from the Phantomhive mansion and went back to his apartment. Vindicta vindicta vindictais what Alois had only in mind. Trust, I don't think I can trust anyone anymore. It's just a pain. I don't want to feel pain any longer. Alois hugged himself and cried.
After School
"Hey, have you seen Alois?" Ciel asked a random person in their class.
"Alois hmmm… he was just here this morning."
"Alois followed you when you went to the rooftop with Sebastian. I think he left school early though. Apparently, the nurse told him too. He was sort of ill then he ran away. "Another person answered Ciel's question.
'H-he heard what we're talking about? TSK!' Ciel said in his mind. "Well, thank you. If you happen to see him somewhere, can you please call me? Here's my email. Please!" Ciel desperately gave his number to one of his classmates.
"Young Master, the car is here. Tanaka has been waitin-"Sebastian went to pick up Ciel but instead, Ciel ran over him and ignored what he just said.
"I believe you did something wrong."
"Shut up Sebastian!" Ciel yelled at Sebastian. Even though this is a bad timing, Sebastian took the time to smile and said, "I'm sorry Young Master, it's your fault. I warned you and you overdid your contract with him." Ciel didn't know how to counter what Sebastian said; because he knew what he said was true.
'Daemones habitatores noctis slivers
pallium tuum un veneficae umbram visus.'
'He's calling me.' Ciel knew the words he can hear in his head, he knew it was Alois. The only person who knew those chant were Alois. 'I'm coming Master' Ciel ran as fast as he could to reach the place where he knew Alois is. Unexpectedly, that leads him to Alois' place. 'This is weird. The lights are closed yet the door is unlocked.'
"Alois?" Ciel called.
"Ohh! If it isn't Ciel Phantomhive. It's nice meeting you after 135 years. Many things have changed and unconsciously, I created a contract with you but you let me down!" Alois yelled over Ciel, expressing his anger as he held the rose really tight that made his hand bleed. "I shouldn't have trusted you! If only my memories regained earlier, I would've known what I'm doing." Alois don't know what to do or how to react. He cried and kept holding the rose in its stem.
"Alois let me explain! What you heard-"Before Ciel could explain his side, Alois was overwhelmed by his own feelings and letting it explode.
"IS TRUE! GET AWAY FROM ME AND NEVER COME BACK! THIS IS AN ORDER!" Alois removed the bandage that covers the symbol that he and Ciel share. With half-hearted feelings, Ciel left the building.
"Young Master, I have been waiting for your conversation to get over. Are you ready?" Sebastian smirks.
"Take me home." Ciel ordered Sebastian. As usual, Sebastian carried Ciel like a princess and disappeared in a flash.
All Alois could do was watch Ciel as he disappear in the middle of the night, Alois witnessed this as he took a peak in the little opening in his windows. As sharp as he is, Sebastian noticed that Alois was watching them but abnormally, Sebastian have a bad feeling to this turn of events. He saw the smile that Alois made and the crest he saw was familiar. 'Could it be?' Sebastian thought.
"Sebastian! Where are you looking?" Ciel argued with Sebastian while he looked the way where Alois house is located.
"Young Master, I have a very bad feeling in this. Can we go back for a minute? This aura… it's familiar and not good." Sebastian suspected something is happening.
"I'm sorry Sebastian; it's an order from my Master. If you want, you can but I'm staying here and I'll just wait for you." Ciel jumped down from Sebastian's arms and looked for a place to sit.
"Please wait for me Your Highness, this won't be long." Sebastian knelt down to show his respect to his original Master.
"Take your time."
Sebastian ran as fast as possible to get to Alois house. When he got there, he saw something peculiar. He saw Alois preparing the sage stick, a few candles and incense. Alois prepared it the way on how a dead demon should be revived. He knows this isn't a good idea so he ran away to reach Ciel's current location.
Alois saw Sebastian from his window.
'Audite verba hæc, exaudi deprecationem meam
Spritus Contra Venite ad me fero te
nunc magna cruce divide.'
Even from afar, Sebastian had heard of this summon. A black shadow was following him together with red eyes, as fast as a leopard – no – faster! 'TSK! I need to inform Young Master!' Sebastian could almost see Ciel as well as Ciel could see him. Ciel noticed something following him.
"Young Master! Don't come near me! It-it's…" Before Sebastian could finish what he's saying, he brought out the utensils he uses to protect Ciel as well as himself.
"SEBASTIAN!" Ciel screamed in the middle of the night.
At Alois' apartment
"HAHAHAHAHA HERE I COME CIEL PHANTOMHIVE. THE PREPARATIONS ARE DONE AND THEY'RE BACK. The last thing I need is…
'Audite verba hæc, exaudi deprecationem meam
Spiritus contra.
Venite ad me fero te
nunc magna cruce divide.
Dilectus animo Thompson,
Te duce quaerimus
Nos loqui
Moventur in nobis'
Be prepared Ciel Phantomhive. Be prepared. Earl Alois Trancy is back."
