"They took me away from you?" Mordred let out a sad sigh.
"Yes my son, Sebastian and Ciel stole you from me, they are very bad."
"But, they didn't seem like-"
"They lied to you did they not, took you from me so I could not be with you. It was lucky I happen to be close, I recognized you immediately. They are using you to hurt me. Sebastian is my younger brother and has done this all our lives. Oh how I searched for you when you were taken. Worst of all your grandparents were in on it. We must not remain here, I am staying just down the street, we will be warm and can talk there, will you come?" The child nodded allowing Mordred to help him from the box and put a jacket over him to protect him from the rain.
"Father, were you really sad?"
"Yes Rowan. I've missed you."
"They said you hurt Ciel, is it true, and that all you wanted me for was to try to be king."
"Certainly not, I only defended myself when he threatened me first, he was hurt yes." They reached a small house and Mordred ushered the boy inside. He was careful to keep the mock sadness in his tone when speaking.
"Father, why would they lie?"
"I cannot say my dear Rowan, I do not know. You must be cold, come, sit down by the fire." Mordred gestured to an arm chair.
Rowan sat the suitcase on the floor and climbed into the seat. A moment later, Rowan's stomach growled and he looked down at his feet in embarrassment.
"You should have said you are hungry my son, we must not let you go without feedings. Mordred handed the child a cup, Rowan thanked him and sipped.
the liquid tasted much different from what Ciel and Sebastian gave him, this one was bitter and forced Rowan to take smaller sips to avoid being ill. He knew he would have to get used to it now.
"Father, I know it's our first night but, could you please tell me a story?"
"A story?" Mordred said with an air of irritation, he shook it off when he heard the boy sniffle.
"What sort of story?'
"One with knights and scary dragons!"
"I do not know such tales."
"Oh. Sebastian does, sometimes he even-" Rowan gasped as Mordred growled and threw one of the fireplace pokers across the room, breaking a mirror on the wall.
"I am not my brother, I am your father and you will not say their names in my presence, do you understand me Rowan?" The frightened boy nodded frantically.
"Good. Forgive me Rowan, I-I get terribly upset when the two responsible for taking you are mentioned. I could tell you the story of two princes, one destined ro be king of all and the other, a cruel and vicious monster who only cares for his own gain. There may be a dragon or two thrown in just for you." Rowan sat quietly his mind briefly wandering to Sebastian and Ciel, they would be tucking their children in and giving them hugs, Sebastian was probably acting out the story. They probably didn't notice he was gone. He allowed onc final tear to be shed before making the decision to put his past behind him.
"Have you found anything?" Ciel asked as he and,Finny met up with Mey-Rin and Tanaka.
"I'm sorry young master, we haven't found a thing." The maid said regretfully.
"Damn it. He didn't just disappear!" Ciel shouted. The Sun was beginning to rise now, but for Ciel, it didn't matter. He would never stop looking for Rowan.
"He could be hurt, or lost and scared, he's alone and he's-"
"He will be alright." Tanaka said pulling Ciel into a hug.
"I want him back."
"I know. We will get him back safe and sound, please believe me."
"I need to find him, something terrible is going to happen, I can feel it."
"It will be alright young master." The old Man soothed.
" we have been out here all night, may I suggest adding others to help as well, we will cover more ground, and perhaps you can speak to the queen and ask for help finding him, with this much anxiety, you are not going to be able to focus. Allow us to take you home and you can rest while we continue the search."
"I can't, he's my son, I need to be here."
"This is not good for your health. When you're calm you will be able to keep going do it not for yourself, but for your children."
"Ciel, are you alright?" Sebastian asked appearing suddenly.
"Do I bloody well look alright to you?" The young demon wiped away the tears from his eyes.
"No, I suppose not. I've left the children with Cynna and I was hoping that perhaps I could help you find our son."
"Then do so, just keep away from me."
"Ciel, after talking about what happened with Cynna, I realize I am wrong. I am sorry." Ciel's body was trembling with anger.
"I know you're sorry, now you had better make a really good apology, this is your fault you damn demon, my son is out there-who the hell knows where and you, what did you say before we left, trust you."
"You are obviously upset, I miss him too, I worry a-"
"I am beyond upset, I am livid, I am so angry I could just- get away, right now, just go."
"Ciel, please." Sebastian knelt down, his eyes pleading for forgiveness, some small glimmer of,love that remained but so only rage and pain.
"Back off, don't even talk- don't blink near me, I want you gone. I told you to stay home, I wanted away from you, my son isn't home where he belongs, playing with his brothers and sister because of you, I could have-"
"Ciel, I love you very much please." This only enraged him further and he approached his mate.
"You love me... I hate you, I've changed my mind, don't go home, if you're there when I get back, I won't think twice about-"
"I cannot blame you for hating me, you and our children are what matter to me and I have failed in the way I treated you and the decision reguarding Rowan. I do love-" the world around Ciel disappeared, the servants gasped as they watch the scene, no one had expected this to happen, all they could do was watch in stunned silence.
A/n: I hope you're enjoying the story, I'll up date a couple more stories I hope but then I'll be taking a small break. The reason being I'm thinking of entering a fanfiction contest for Valentine's day and I need,to come up with something. Depending on if I can think of some good ideas, I may or may not. (I've never entered a writing contest of any kind,before so I'm nervous ) anyway thank you for reading.
