The little pianist
Chapter 4
Yeah,so this is chapter 4.
I want to settle a few things first.I know Alois is a little bit out of character and that he is loving and blablalba,it's because I imagined him being the little Alois when he was with Luca in Kuroshitsuji season2.
I thank to everybody who is reading my story and a HUGE hug and thak you to all my reviewers!They make my day!
So enjoy the chapter!
Ps:I don't own Kuroshitsuji or any character in this story.
" Well, this is it there is no going back now" Ciel thought as he inserted the key and pushed the doorknob…
Ciel took a deep breath and opened the large door and entered quickly the room. He shut door with a creek. Ciel turned around to face the chamber.
It was an ordinary old black room, the curtains were covering the moonlight completely it was pretty dark. Of course because nobody has ever been there for a long time the whole place was filled with dust and spider webs. Ciel noticed a big four-sized bed that was covered with a red velvet bed sheet full of dust. Ciel suddenly had a vision of Sebastian sitting on the bed, holding Alois in his arms while whispering sweet words about love. Ciel blinked once and the image disappeared."Alright this room is freaky and I think I am going crazy!"
Ciel walked away from the bed and went near a small black wooden table. The table was filled with dry red roses which were almost black. Ciel noticed a few music sheets " Perhaps the Requiem is here?"Ciel studied the music scores but none of those looked like a Requiem.
He placed the music sheets back and stared at the last item on the table. It looked like a music box which was in the shape of a heart. Ciel opened it and a haunting yet beautiful melody started playing (AN/It's the "Once upon a December" song from "Anastasia").
Ciel had another vision this time with only Alois who was sitting at the table and listening to the music box while he was waiting for Sebastian."I wonder where Sebastian is, I feel so lonely without him." Tears filled the blond boy's eyes,"I don't want to be alone! Sebastian please don't leave me! SEBASTIAN!" screamed the boy while dropping on his knees..."Alois what's wrong?"Sebastian kneeled and hugged the blond boy."I had to attend to some business but it's finished, that's why I was late and don't worry I will never leave you, I love you remember?"Sebastian smiled at the tear soaked boy and kissed him on the forehead."I love you too, Sebastian and please never leave me no matter what, stay with me until the very end, do you promise?" ,Sebastian smiled ,"I promise.."
The music box stopped playing and Ciel was brought back to reality, he closed the music box and felt a slight pain in his heart."I don't know why, but I am a little jealous on Alois. Damn it why the hell does Sebastian love him,? He seems to be a spoiled child who can't make a single step without Sebastian, why does he love him and not me? Hold on, I lo-lo-love S-Se-Sebastian? Wait that can't be, I only know Sebastian for two days and yet I so wish for him to treat me the way he treated Alois. But now Alois is dead and Aaaaargh!I don't get it!"
Ciel looked away from the table and his jaw dropped. He saw the most beautiful and elegant piano that could ever exist. The instrument was huge; it was a grand piano Ciel would only have dreamed to play at. Ciel recognized that it was the same piano in the painting with Alois.
The boy approached the piano and from what he could see the piano was black but also with hints of dark crimson. Most pianos have the piano lid open, this one was closed. Ciel went to open it and he couldn't believe his eyes what he saw. There were musical notes sculpted into the lid. Ciel's eyes widened as he realized"This, this , this is the Requiem !I found it! Sebastian sculpted the whole song into the piano, wow, he really did put effort and patience in this, hmmm from what I can read it sounds interesting, he only wrote it for violin, but hey who says I can't transcript it too piano, I just need a pen and a sheet."
Ciel hurried and grabbed something to write and music sheet. He spent almost half an hour to write all the notes. He smiled triumphantly when he finished."Alright, since he wrote it for violin this means that these are the notes that the right hand plays, oh well, I will pick the left ones by ear."
The boy opened the big lid of the piano and the climbed on the high piano bench and opened the lid that covered the piano keys. Ciel tested some chords and was amazed by how crystal clear the piano was ringing. He took a deep breath, settled himself in a good position and started to play Sebastian's Requiem.
The song started in a soft melancholic and low chord. Ciel had a little bit trouble to figure what notes to play at the left hand, but being a good musician he managed to get the song perfect. In the middle of the Requiem, the little musician got so hooked in the song that he had other flashbacks of Sebastian composing the song. It almost brought tears to Ciel's eyes as he saw how Sebastian was suffering but still managed to get over the pain to write the song. Ciel felt his heart almost breaking as he got to the powerful part of the song.
Sebastian was currently in his bedroom reading some stupid book because he was too bored and didn't want to sleep. Being a demon he didn't require sleep but he used it as a luxury and just the thought of having his new little cute servant waking him up trying to be the perfect servant made Sebastian have fun.
Sebastian's sensitive ears picked the sound of piano playing."Wait a second there are only two piano's in this manor, one is in my room the second…"Sebastian's heart stopped as he recognized the song. The demon got up and with inhuman speed he ran to the east wing. He slowed down when he saw that the door to the forbidden room was slightly open. Sebastian slid in without being noticed and hid in the shadows of the room and watched Ciel play the song he wrote in the memory of his beloved Alois.
Ciel's eyes couldn't take it anymore, small tears slid down his white cheeks as the song neared the end. The piece was indeed sublime, he was sure that Sebastian would become one of the best composers in the world if he would make himself known. The Requiem ended in a soft minor chord. Ciel whipped his tears with his sleeve and rested his hands on the keys, the song made him quite exhausted.
Ciel almost had a heart attack as a pair of demonical red eyes appeared in the darkness of the room. Sebastian came out of the shadows, his fists clenched by the side, his whole body was shaking.
Ciel could tell that his master was looking angry so he spoke as soft as he could " Master, I have to say, your composition is beautiful, all your emotions for that boy are in this song, I've never heard something more beautiful than this, it brings tears to anybody's eyes if they listen to it, I can feel your pain through this song."
Sebastian stopped shaking and gave a low and sarcastic laugh. Ciel was really freaked out now and he knew he crossed his limits by entering the room."My pain ? You fell my pain little kitten? That is not pain, let me show you real pain"Without another word Sebastian slammed the piano lid right on Ciel's small hands.
Ciel screamed. He felt as if his hands were chopped off. Sebastian the opened the lid grabbed Ciel by the hair and flung him across the room. Ciel hid the wall hard and dropped on his knees. He brought his broken hands to his head and noticed his forehead was bleeding. He looked up, seeing Sebastian walking slowly towards him, his eyes were fire red and a drak aura was hauling over him. Ciel was terrified .Sebastian grabbed the poor boy by the neck and sqeezed him really hard.
"I'm going to teach you the meaning of pain and the meaning and of what happens when you disobey my orders you disgusting human."
"Master Michaelis!Stop it you're going to kill him he is only a child!"said Tanaka while he flew the door open and witnessed the scene,Sebastian growled and threw Ciel to the ground.
The demon walked over to the piano and smashed his fist cracking the instrument in two pieces, then he started to destroy the rest ofpiano,Ciel shook terrible as he heard smashing and cracking sounds.
After the piano was completly distroyed ,Sebastian stormed of the room leaving a bleeding to death Ciel and a disspointed Tanaka behind.
Tanaka kneeled and touched Ciel ,the poor boy flinched involuntary."It's alright Ciel Tanaka is here,Ciel didn't I tell you not to go into this room look what happend,I told you the Master is a demon,demon's can't control themselfs when they are veryangry, could have been murderd!Look at you,we'll talk about this later now I will have to heal your wounds before you bleed to death."
"M-m-my h-ha-hands,will I ever be able to play the piano again?"Ciel looked sadly at the his hands who were now purple and covered in blood."I don't know,but I will do anything I can,come , let's go."
Tanaka took the small boy into his arms and walked out of the glanced one last time at the room and noticed that the music sheet he copied was still intact,he then fell unconsious.
Poor Ciel..I know a lot of you Ciel-fans will want to kill me for what I did to him but I promise things are going to get better!;)
I'll update asap.
