Hi! Sorry I have been busy lately so I'm trying to post a few more chapters just to make up for the amount of time that I didn't post anything! Thanks for being patient and reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters in this chapter or this novel yet except for the old lady...so far

"It's time to wake up" then light flooded my room. How did I get in to my bed? Oh yeah...I fell asleep at the dinner table. Hopefully dad didn't mind carrying me up the stairs... I hope that he isn't mad...
"For breakfast today we have crepes with strawberries and nutella (I know nutella wasn't around back in the 1800's, but it's so good I had to put it in to my story!) Alongside a glass of milk to compliment the rich flavours of the nutella." I could feel my mouth watering just by catching a glimpse of my breakfast. Before I knew it, Tanaka was on the floor in front of me putting on my socks, shorts, shirt, and jacket for the day. He handed me my food and utensils and I did my best now to stuff my face. The food was delectable; I have never had anything like it before! Once I finished breakfast Tanaka began to tell me my schedule for the day.
"At 10:00am you are going out in the garden to play until lunch, which will be at noon. After lunch your parents wish to go out so you will be spending the day with them in downtown London. You will promptly return in time for dinner which will be at 6 o'clock sharp!" With that Tanaka put the shoes on my feet, collected the dishes and rolled the trolley out of the room.
I stood up and started towards the door, I didn't know where I could go. It was only 9...I had an hour before I was allowed to go outside to play. I decided that I would go try to find my parents and explore the mansion a bit. I stepped out of my room and looked down both sides of the hall. I didn't hear anyone coming, so I decided to go left. It wasn't long before I reached a large set of double doors that appeared tarnished and dull.

"Is that all you need this morning, my lord?" Questioned our most faithful butler, Tanaka, "I'm fine you are dismissed," Sometimes that old man was nosey. Hopefully he knew that he was going to have to butt out of what was going to happen next or else he will have to be...disposed...of. A thought suddenly occurred to me. It was only 9am...Ciel wasn't due to be outside until 10...that means he was probably exploring the mansion.
I shook Rachel's shoulder abruptly, "You locked the basement door...right?" I started nervously, if Ciel found the basement and went downstairs, our plan would be wasted.
"Eh? Umm...I can't remember..." she sleepily replied.
"Where is the key?" I nearly shouted. This is not good, she better have locked the door.
"I don't know...maybe in the night stand?" I flung open the drawer, and found the key. I grabbed it and slipped my shoes on quickly.
"I'm going to go check that the basement door is closed." Rachel didn't say anything in reply; she rolled to face away from me and continued sleeping.
I started down the hallway towards the basement door...hopefully Ciel hasn't found that room yet...
Ciel
I opened the door quickly and quietly, and then I shut it behind me. I am very curious and my curiosity sometimes gets the best of me. Surely mother and father would have told me that I wasn't allowed down here already...right? I walked down the stairs quickly trying not to make them squeak. It was quite dark, the light switch had been outside the door, and I had flipped it on, but even still it was dark.
I reached the bottom of the stairs and realized where I was. I was in the dungeon, with all of the torture devices hanging on the walls. I jumped as I heard the door creak open, someone was coming. I ran to the corner of the room where it was darkest and crouched. If anyone comes down and sees me and I'm not allowed in here, I'm in serious trouble.
I heard footsteps coming down the stairs; dad peered his head in to the basement, took one quick look around and walked back upstairs. I heard the door slam shut and a key turn in the lock. Then the lights went out.
Vincent
"Thankfully no one was down there" I thought to myself. Hopefully it stayed that way. The door had been unlocked and the light had been left on...I was scared for a minute there.
I decided that I was going to keep the key in my pocket, that way it didn't get lost. Tanaka had a key to the dungeon, but he wasn't going to go down there anytime soon...unless something happens. I didn't want to go back to my room, Rachel would only rub it in my face saying that she wasn't stupid and of course she would have locked the door. Then she would get mad when I told her it wasn't locked.
I resolved to going to my office and completing paper work for the Funtom Company until lunch time.
Ciel
The only thought going through my head right now was that I had to get out. I knew that no one was going to come back down looking for me for a while, and if they did and they found me I would surely get in trouble for not responding to father when he came down the stairs.
I stumbled through the darkness looking for the stairs. I finally found them and began the long treacherous climb. I had to be careful where I stepped because some of the stairs were very creaky and there were holes between the steps that if I wasn't careful, I could slip through. Now that the light was out it was pitch black and I can't even see me hand when it's right in front of my face. Lost in my thought I didn't realize I reached the door until I had bumped in to it. Oh no, what if someone was in the hallway and heard the door move, then I would surely be caught.
I held my breath and waited a few minutes before I tried the door. Locked, just like I thought it would be. I was starting to shake, on the verge of crying. I didn't like the dark, nor did I like being locked in. For some reason I strongly disliked closed spaces. I could see a bit off light leaking from under the door, but it wasn't enough to light up much of anything. I grabbed the handle and tried to turn the knob again; it didn't budge, again.
My chicken arms hung limply at my sides. I realized what I was going to do. I was going to break the door open without causing damage to the door.
Sebastian
He couldn't see me, but I could definitely see him. I watched as he bumped in to the door and him freezing to the spot afraid he was going to get caught. I could smell the fear, and that he was about to cry. He sprang to his feet and carefully crept back down the stairs. He put his arms in front of him and desperately grabbed at every little thing, looking for something.
Ciel
I feel like I'm being watched. I am reaching out looking for something that I can jam between the door and the frame to unlatch the lock. I finally felt my hand grasp around a thin metal bar; sharp on one side, probably a knife of some sorts. I ran up the stairs, having memorized where each creaky step is. I ran to the door and quickly slid the knife in to the edge of the door and slid it down. A soft click was heard and I quickly took the knife down the stairs and exited the basement. I closed the door softly when-
"CIEL PHANTOMHIVE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
