Chapter Two
Ciel woke up to a shaking floor and loud classical music. His wrists were aching from being zip-tied together and his cheeks burning from the rough fabric that gagged him. His head throbbed and it hurt to try to remember what happened.
"Like I was saying, I've always been alone. There has nobody to talk to, nobody to care for. Now I have you. You won't leave me. You can't leave me, not now, not ever." A familiar voice spoke from the front seat. The man who had pushed his grocery cart, who took it outside for him. The man that was awkward and quiet, but seemed generally an okay, sane person.
Ciel whimpered back, he would have said something, but it was impossible. "Oh, you're awake. We're almost home, don't worry. I'll protect you there. You'll be safe." He told him, sounding oddly sincere.
I was safe at home. I wasn't scared at home. Please take me back to my mom. She's expecting me back. I'll even be more open to Alois if you would just please take me back. Ciel thought, unable to voice the words.
The van eventually stopped, the sound of wheels on gravel filling their ears. The man stopped the car and got out, slamming the door. He walked slowly to the rear doors to the vehicle and opened them, awkwardly smiling. "I hope you enjoy your stay at my home." He said it implying that Ciel would be allowed to leave, but they both knew that wasn't true. "I don't know if you remember, but my name is Sebastian Michaelis. I already know you're Ciel Phantomhive." Sebastian held up Ciel's wallet, he had taken it while putting him in the back of the van.
He went to pick him up and Ciel squirmed away as much as possible. He didn't want him to touch him, look at him, or even breathe in the same direction as him. "Ciel, you're very drowsy from the drugs, you'll fall over and scratch up that pretty face of yours. Please let me carry you." Ciel shook his head and curled in a ball. Sebastian reached into the van and forcibly picked up the terrified Ciel. "I'm doing what's best for you." He told him, carrying him into the house.
Ciel looked around outside and his stomach dropped to his feet. There was nobody else around. He was being carried into a fairly large house in the middle of a forest. The nearest neighbors were miles away. "Nice and far from civilization. Gives us time to get to know each other." Sebastian smiled smugly. Ciel whimpered as Sebastian dropped him on hardwood floors in front of a plain white door. Well, it was a plain white door, other than the row of both new and old locks that ran from the top to the bottom.
Sebastian unlocked every one of them, each having a different key or combination. "No use trying to remember them, they only lock and unlock from the outside, and there is no skeleton key for you to try and find." As soon as the door was open, Sebastian grabbed him and pulled him into a standing position. On the other side of the door was a dirty set of concrete stairs, leading down to a pitch-black room. "This is where you will be. Don't bother screaming or anything, nobody will be able to hear you." He led Ciel down the stairs, at least making sure the teenager didn't trip and fall.
He flipped the switch next to the bottom of the staircase and a ceiling light and a few lamps turned on, lighting the room. The room itself was a decent size, painting light blue. There was a bed with plain gray sheets and a bedside table in one corner. In another was a small wooden table with two chairs and some notebooks and pens. Across from that was another door. "That door leads to a bathroom. If you'll excuse me, I have to go back upstairs for a while. Please don't break anything." Sebastian led Ciel to one of the chairs. He sat him down and got out a pocketknife. He cut the zip ties and gag, making him whimper and rub the red lines on his cheeks and wrist.
He walked back upstairs, whistling a happy tune and Ciel waited until the door closed to move. He heard Sebastian lock every single one of the locks before going to sit on the bed. He curled up in a ball and noticed through his tears, that there were no windows in the room.
I'm sorry for the wait, I had a huge final to study for. I woke up this morning and remembered that I forgot a disclaimer so
I don't own Black Butler, not that I wouldn't be delighted to. Any OCs (probably aren't going to exist) belong to me.
Before I go, I have a quick question for anybody that would like to answer in a review. Would you rather have shorter chapters (like so far) often, or longer chapters not so often?
