Here is another chapter much like the last one, and perhaps the one after. I have an idea as to how this story will continue but I would like to get feedback from you guys! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!

CHAPTER VIII

Sebastian's P.O.V.

I was sitting in a chair outside of the nurse's office, waiting for him/her to tell me when I could see Ciel. It was now 7th hour and he/she still hadn't updated me on his condition. Just as I was deciding to check in on my own, she/he came through the door.

"Ah, Sebastian, just the tall sexy man I was looking for!" He/she creeped me out.

"How is Ciel, I mean… Mr. Phantomhive," I asked.

"It's hard to tell. I noticed that all that blood has come through one of his eyes, you know, the one that normally has that eye patch on it," he looked at me curiously, "Just what exactly happened Sebby?"

I turned my head slightly so I wasn't looking at him/her directly, "Just an accident," he/she must've sensed that I didn't want her/him to know and thankfully kept to his/her own business.

"Hmm, anywho! I only cleaned him up some and gave him some pain reliever. I didn't dare check his eyes because…" she/he turned around for a slight moment and whispered, "I was too scared to," he/she turned back around, "Oh, and he is still unconscious so I will get you his address so you may take him home!" I jumped at his announcement.

"Wha! Why not have his guardian come get him?" I asked and it must've sounded as if I didn't want anything to do with Ciel, and that's how I tried to make it sound, even though it's untrue.

"Eh? You didn't know? His only living relative is still in England!" I could only stare at the nurse.

"Then who is watching over Ciel! I-I mean Mr. Phantomhive…" the nurse slowly turned around and made his/her way to the exit door. He/she looked over his/her shoulder and gave me a devilish smile.

"No one,"

I drove silently across the seemingly deserted road. Every now and then I would steal a glance at Ciel, in the passenger's seat. I had buckled him in and put about three blankets on him to be sure he was warm. No matter how many times I checked him, I was almost certain he was coughing or crying yet again, yet when I turned my head to look at him, he was fine.

I wondered what could have caused such a young boy to be in such a large amount of pain. He was like a dam, seconds from overflowing. I knew that back in the boys' locker room might have been the last time I ever see him so defenseless. Something told me that he was an expert at hiding his feelings and posting up walls so tough, nothing could break them down.

At last, I finally arrived at the address the nurse gave me. I couldn't help but recheck the white slip with the numbers and street name on it, only cause I didn't believe the boy really lived there. It was a mansion! A very large mansion at that and the poor child lives there all by himself. It must be horrible… living in such a large home and knowing that you are the only one there.

I got out of my car and made my way to the passenger's side. Being sure not to wake him up, I carefully wrapped my arms around Ciel and picked him up. As I walked to the entrance of the manor, I looked around noticing every detail. It was a very old manor, and had elegant yet scary creatures scattered forever frozen as stone statues. Around the manor were greens, but one plant stood out the most, probably because there were billions of these plants. I identified them as Sterling Silver Roses. Perhaps Ciel's favorite flower?

The manor was two stories high with a tower rising above every shingle of the house. For some reason, I just knew his room resides within that tower, further away from the ground and reality. I didn't blame him for wanting to rest in such a high place, because with how much he must have been through, there had to be somewhere for him to get away from life.

I stood in front of the house and reached for the doorknob… unlocked. Entering the large home, a large hallway stood before me, dimly lit and spooky. This seemed fitting for Ciel. As I was searching for the staircase, I found the lounging room and kitchen, both very ancient and styled Victorian. I located the staircase for the second floor which only lead me to another hallway with hundreds of doors. Sighing, I made my way straight down the hall, in search for another staircase.

Once I found myself in the extremely large library, I wandered the large room for what seemed like forever. In the very middle of the library, I found what I had been looking for. A giant spiral staircase going straight up, it seemed to go on for miles! Then, I began my journey up the stairs.

At the very top, was a short hallway (for once!) and at the end of that, a large door. It was black with real silver all around it, popping out so that you could touch it and feel the texture. I moved closer to look at the silver, and it seemed to swirl and interweave into designs that seemed familiar. Then, I realized why it seemed so familiar. It looked like a giant vine of Sterling Silver Roses. It had thorns poking out sharp enough to draw blood and the vine seemed to continue into the room. No matter how sinister it looked, it was truly beautiful… just like Ciel.

Before entering the room, I couldn't help from turning a light shade of pink. The thought of entering this marvelous beings room was almost too much to handle. I took one last deep breath and opened the door further. What I saw only made me turn beat red.

Of course the first thing I had noticed was the bed. I mean, it was huge! It was like a double king sized bed! I only moved forward, trying to keep evil thoughts out of my mind. Setting Ciel down in a chair next to the bed, I ran into my next problem and almost died at the realization. Ciel's clothes were drenched in blood…

I walked over to a dresser across the room and opened the first draw to find a white over-sized button down nightshirt. Making sure I was still breathing, I walked back to Ciel and stood in front of him. And then, without another thought I began to do the task at hand…
