Lumi's POV:
I still remember those days a year ago. Where I was forced to protect the manor, with my own bare hands.
Within a month, I had been taught how to kill. I will never, even if I may suffer from this past, forget those lessons.
Every smuggled person who people brought in then slaughtered mercilessly, I was the one forced to keep them in their place.
The one who basically killed them.
For what cost though…?
Survival. Another show at a human's greed.
After their deaths, I had always been the one to hide the edivance.
These skills I was forced on in my childhood days.
As I was searching the corpse I had revived my criminal instincts I grew up in.
I thought, Let's say I was hiding evidence. Where, would I smuggle it?
Then I checked the places most would gag to check, and pulled out a note from the flattened wind pipe.
It was dampened in drying blood as I had a gleam of excitement of my being correct.
My excitement died as I remembered when I did this for a living, or rather to live.
I had a moment of sympathy of this noble man who was killed. No one had even noticed his death until an entire week after.
I slowly walk over to Ciel and put my dirty hands behind my back.
I explained what had happened as he blankly looked at me in shock.
So he was expecting some ignorant fool was he?
I held back laughter after I had already solved the puzzle. It was too easy actually.
On our way back, I kept thinking of all the things I had done.
I'm damned whichever way you looked at it.
My case piled up, sin after sin. To the point where it was just a mountain of them.
It's too late now. I can't back away now. I never can…
When I got home I went straight to my room and locked myself inside.
I pressed my hands to my eyes and almost sobbed.
I would never show so much weakness.
Weaknesses lead to beatings.
But when I am alone, I truly show my feelings. Every bit of despair is revealed. This is a side I will never show to anyone.
Continuing on thinking a thought crossed my mind. Mother and father… I have to see their graves to truly believe that someone as strong as them had died.
I lay flat on the bed as my tears broke from my eyes. What if they are dead? I…
I heard a knock on the door. Certainly it wasn't Laura. She knew better than to bug me when I am like this.
"Go away…" I said loudly enough for the person out of the door to hear me.
My voice was stained in tears and it didn't sound right. I tried to keep my sobbing quite but my sniffling was obviously giving it away.
"Lumiere, let me in…" came a voice that wasn't deep enough to be a man, but wasn't light enough to be female either.
Damn, Ciel is here.
It's not fair. Can't he just let me sob in peace?
I wipe away the remains of my tears and walk up to the door. I slowly unlock it. Ch-click
The door creaked open as my assumed guess was correct.
I must have looked like a wrecking ball hit me after sobbing for what felt like forever.
I stayed quite as he let himself in and sat in a chair in the corner of the room.
He crossed his leg and looked up to me.
"There is something that has been brought to my attention. This simply cannot be ignored and can mean vital information for us. So I need you to be honest with me," he said in a serious tone.
I was terrified about the next sentence he gave me.
"what happened that year you had disappeared?"
I felt my heart skip a beat as he finished his request.
Why did he choose now to ask me? That's not fair.
I took a deep breath and closed my hiding eyes from under my long bangs.
He didn't say a word when I went to close the door.
I would never want anyone to see me in such a vulnerable state.
To show so much weakness to anyone.
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I stared at the ground and began to talk.
It hurt to think too far back in it. It made me feel sick.
"It was my birthday," I started saying.
"I was turning ten years old that year… I was so excited to spend time with my family. My progenitor had loved me so much. But at that night, after celebrating with my family, I had been stolen. While my parents were there or not, I have no idea. After that I had been put in small wear and then sold in the black market. I…" The next part took me a few seconds to admit. "I was sold to a man who used me as a sex slave…" I choked out and then continued on saying what had happened.
"He used me for his own game of chess. I was his pawn who took out his opponents. I was taught how to do so and with each fallen piece, I had to place them aside… It was either that or death. After a while a new player entered the game. They broke the rules, and was executed by the king of which I had treid to stop, but it was too late."
"He fought back against me and I was brought to my darkness. Then I saw a rabbit. I was granted my wish, and I took the chance I had for survival," I ended at that. I refused to cry in front of someone I had just met.
so much weakness. so much pain.
Ciel stood up before he left my room figuring that I would like to be alone for a little while.
"Relax for a bit. I'll be in my room if you need me Lumi," he said walking off.
He just said my nickname. My face flushed after hearing it being called.
He closed the door behind himself and walked away.
I listened to his footsteps in the back round as they slowly got more and more quite, until it was just the silence left with me.
The silence stayed there though.
Somehow by talking to Ciel about it, I felt better.
I felt like he could relate to it. I laid on my bed until my eyes began to close, and I drifted to sleep.
