But now here it is, sorry, this time just 8 pages! * don't misunderstand *
I was so happy to see that 2 more people started to follow the story with story favourite ;w; ! Thank you so much: Rusbliz7 and whiteblossem443 ~ o3o
As always, thanks for the precious reviews here too~ o3o ! I'm glad you also sent a review Rusbliz7, I was so happy to see that one more person joined~ OwO!
Of course thanks for the others too, they made me sooooo happy~ ;w; !
Warning: Alois will appear in this chapter, but hope you won't kill me for the idea! It got to my mind when I watched the second season again. When I was at the ball part (where Alois and Ciel first met) and I saw Alois in his disguise, the idea just got into my mind, hope you won't mind!
Enjoy~ C:
After a week has passed, the illness of Ciel has completely gone away, even his voice returned. During the week, he was also able to get to know the servants.
Bard – the chef, who although sometimes burnt the kitchen or the food, still had a warm heart and did his job with his best knowledge
Finnian – the young gardener, who was the most kind and energetic boy in the world he has ever met
Mey-Rin – the clumsy maid, whose presence could be easily found by the crashing noise of the breaking plates or glasses; but she still tried her best and helped Ciel all the time
And finally Tanaka – who despite his age was the butler of the palace, which Ciel didn't understand, but that was the less interesting thing in the place.
He also got to know the prince better, but he still didn't want to get close to him as his anger didn't let him to do so. He now knew that Sebastian and Claude were just half-brothers, their father the same, but from different mothers. He was able to understand why they were so different.
Ciel had already got used to the place as well, knowing every corner, especially the library, where he loved to spend his free time with a blanket around his body, drinking tea.
The doctor said that he was healing well, and that they have taken a good care of him. Sebastian also made sure that the boy ate properly, although sometimes he tried to refuse. He still couldn't get over the fact that he has been taken away from Alois. He missed him so much. He would have done anything to see him again.
The doctor said that his wrist still needs some weeks to heal completely, but is in a much better state now. (A/N: of course, as it's broken, the plaster still is on)
He was sitting in the library, reading a thriller book about a man called 'Sherlock Holmes'. He was so happy to find the continue of the story of his favourite character. He was so sad to lose his favourite book when they had to escape from the police. That was the only thing left from his parents beside his ring. As he didn't want it to get harmed, he has been hiding it in a small box in his luggage since he got here. He wasn't even wearing it at the palace of Claude. It was the last thing which reminded him of his parents and his past, thus he didn't want to lose it as well.
He was disturbed when a knock was heard on the door and Mey-Rin came in.
"M... M... Mister S... Sebastian wants... to see you..."
The boy sighed with an irritated face. Meeting with the prince was the last thing he wanted at the moment. However, learning from the events at Claude, he didn't want to disobey and be punished either.
Sebastian was sitting on the silk couch in his workroom, reading some reporting, when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
He smiled when he saw Ciel entering the room with a slightly angry face. He was sure he must have disturbed him.
"Did you want to see me...?" – the boy asked with his voice low and pouting.
"Oh, Ciel, don't be so denying, come here~!" – Sebastian extended his arm, 'hitting' the place next to him on the couch with his other.
Ciel just pouted, but obeyed. However, he sat as far away from the prince as he could, folding his arms, with his eyes closed.
"So... what do you want to talk about...?"
Sebastian smirked. He was never surprised about the boy's stubbornness. He has been so denying with him since the time he woke up from his illness.
"Oh, Ciel, are you still angry at me~?" – he asked with a fake sad face.
"Of course I am! And stop playing around! You are a prince not an actor!" – Ciel raised his voice, looking up at the prince with an irritated face. He was never afraid of him. During the week he has been here, one thing he learnt for sure was that the prince wouldn't punish him for something like that. However, he froze when his chin was grabbed and Sebastian leaned closer, his face just inches away from his with a serious face.
"I've been patient with you until now, but you should stop your rebelling style. I've took you away from Claude, because I'm sure he wanted to kill you no matter how!"
Ciel slapped the hand away and retorted with a still loud voice – "I don't mind! You have left Alois there! Don't you think that Claude can kill him?!"
Ciel also started to call the other prince just by his name, as he wasn't his master anymore, and Sebastian gave him the permission.
Sebastian started to get angry, but could understand the boy's feeling. – "Look, I'm sure he wouldn't hurt him. He is caring about him too much." – he sighed, putting his elbow on the arm of the couch, resting his head in his palm.
"I can't believe it until I don't see it with my own eyes!"- Ciel declared as he grabbed the collar of the shirt of the prince and looked at him with his left eye "burning" from anger.
It was enough for Sebastian, so he grabbed the by boy his shoulder and yanked him down onto a lying position on the couch, causing Ciel to wince in pain.
However, Ciel didn't have much time to react as the prince blocked his way with his hands around his waist as he leaned closer with a serious face – "I prohibit you to see Alois again! You can't even go to Claude's place whatever reason would you go there!"
"WHAT?!" - Ciel froze. How could the prince say something like this...? With the help of his growing anger, he raised his voice more, almost shouting.
"You don't want to see him now. Believe me..." – Sebastian sighed as he sat up, thus let the young boy go.
Ciel couldn't help the tears bursting from his eyes, as he got up and shouted – "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU SAY!" – and with that he rushed out of the room, now crying.
'Unfortunately I know...' – Sebastian sighed as he glanced at the now closed door as he took his paper back.
Ciel didn't care about bumping into Mey-Rin, he just wanted to get into his room.
"Hey, Ciel? Is everything alright?" – the maid asked with a concerned voice as she noticed the tears flowing from the boy's eyes. She extended her arm to help the boy up, who just slapped it away and got up running again, not saying anything.
'What... happened...?' – Mey-Rin was just standing there with her eyes wide. She knew that she had to find the answer at the prince.
Ciel ran into his room, locked it and collapsed on his bed. He snuggled his face into his pillow, crying. There were just a few times when he showed this side of him, but know nobody saw him, and he felt free to cry. He missed Alois more than anybody would have thought.
He wanted to go away from this place and go back to him NOW. Looking up, thinking on an idea, he glanced through the room, until his attention stopped at the window. He wiped his wet eyes with the sleeve of his shirt and stopped crying as an idea got to his mind. He got up and went to the wardrobe and opened the upper shelf and smiled as he noticed the sheets. His plan can be a success now. After he took out 5 of them, he closed the door of the shelf and went to his bed. He slowly started to knot the sheets together with his free hand as he put them behind his plastered hand. He was happy to be able to do this with just one hand, although sometimes winced as he moved wrong and a pain shot through his wrist.
When he was ready, he opened the drawer of the nightstand beside his bed and got out a gun, which he put into his jacket's inner pocket on the left side.
'Alois, I will save you!'
"Mister Sebastian! Ciel is-" – but Mey-Rin was interrupted when Sebastian looked up from his paper the second time that day with a sigh.
"I know Mey-Rin. Don't worry about him, he will be alright."
"But Mister Sebastian! He didn't even say a word when I tried to help him and was crying!" – the maid's face was very worried as she remembered.
"Look Mey-Rin, he still hasn't got over his friend. Just give him some days and I think he will understand why I don't want him to go back."
"Yes... Mister Sebastian..." – the maid bowed and left the room.
Ciel had been able to get out of the room with the help of the knotted sheets, using them as a rope to get down to the garden. It was really hard with just one hand, but the goal gave him enough power not to give up, thus he was able to get down without any harm. He looked up and noticed that only the workroom of the prince was lit up.
'Is he still awake...?' – he thought with a frown, but didn't think about it much as he started to run towards the gate.
Before he left, he realised that there is a long way before him, thus he went into the stable and brought out a horse for the ride, petting it gently.
"Please... help me..."
The horse wasn't fighting against him, as he recognised the small boy, who brought food and water to them during the week. Yes, although Ciel was injured, he insisted on helping the others with their work, but they only allowed him to take care of the horses.
To his fortune, the doors were open, thus he was able to get out without any problem.
"Go!" – he ordered as he sat on the back of the horse after closing the door behind him.
When Sebastian was finally ready with the report, he glanced at the clock at the wall.
10:05
'Well, it's quite late, I'm sure everybody is already sleeping...'
He went to the window of the room and sat down on the windowsill, glancing out at the dark starry sky. However, a grin appeared on his face as he noticed a small black silhouette running in the garden towards the exit with a horse beside him.
'Maybe he will find it out earlier than I have thought...'
In order to avoid anyone's attention, Ciel led the horse through a plain behind the cities. Sometimes they had to go up a mountain, but to his fortune, he had brought a strong horse with him, who took the way easily.
They had been riding for almost hours and as it was during the night, he started to feel tired.
It wasn't just him, the horse also signed that it was tired and wanted some water to drink with its whickering.
As Ciel noticed a forest nearby, he led the horse there and hopped down when they arrived to a small lake. He let the horse drink happily as he sat down beside a tree, leaning to it.
"Oh, look who has come for a visit~"
Ciel froze at the voice coming from up. He could recognise it anywhere.
"ALOIS!"- he looked up with a shocked face and noticed the grinning boy, hanging from a branch.
The blonde jumped down and landed on his feet without any harm, causing the younger to freeze.
However, Ciel didn't mind how Alois got there, just was thinking about the fact that he able to see his friend again, who was now standing before him with his eyes closed and arms folded.
"A... Alois... How did you escape?!"
"Escaping? What are you talking about Ciel? I had no intention to run from Claude!" – the blonde asked with a questioning voice, still not opening his eyes.
"What are you talking about?! He was going to kill you! And why are you calling him just Claude? Isn't he your master?!"
The dark blue haired boy froze when he heard a laughter from the other as an answer.
"Ciel, you are always able to surprise me. Claude wasn't going to kill me, but..." – he now looked up, opening his glowing red eyes – "... gave me power!"
Ciel froze. Did Alois really have red eyes?
'No, it can't be! He is not one of those creatures!'
He gritted his teeth at the thought. – "Who... are you...?" – he asked with a shaky voice as he grabbed his gun and pointed it at the other.
Another laughter filled the quiet air from the blonde – "Just shoot Ciel, but..." – and with that he disappeared and the younger froze when Alois reappeared behind him, taking hold of his gun and throwing it away. – "... would you really hurt me after seeing me again?" – he asked with a grin.
The voice of his friend scared Ciel. He was acting so different. He froze, when his chin was grabbed and lifted from behind and Alois' lips met his.
"But we can do much sweeter things than killing!" – the grin never left the blonde's face as he brought their lips together again.
Ciel tried to struggle as he squeezed his eyes, but find no power with just one hand. Alois didn't kiss him like before. It was harsh and he didn't like it. His fear grew wider when he felt something sharp biting on his lower lip, causing a yelp escaping his mouth, but was stopped by the other bringing him back and using the situation entering the mouth, exploring every corner.
When their lips finally parted after several seconds, Ciel panted and felt something wet on his lower lip. When he licked his tongue through it, he froze when he realised it was blood.
"You taste sweet as always Ciel~" – Alois whispered into the younger's left ear – "But maybe your body is much tastier!"
This scared the dark blue haired boy. His friend was acting more and more different than before. However, this statement was the one to shock him the most. He was brought back from his thought when he felt some cold breeze hitting his neck as his collar was lifted down. But the one following it surprised him the most. Alois licked his neck, holding his head with one to have a better access; and his left arm with the other hand (as his right is knotted up because of the plaster).
"Alois... stop...!" – he wasn't able to raise his voice as it was mixed with a moan and his body felt weak in the other's arm.
"Why should I Ciel?" – the blonde asked with a grin.
Ciel's eyes widened the most when he noticed something shine in the next moment. It was Alois' teeth glinting in the dark. No, they weren't teeth. They were fangs.
"ALOIS STO-" – but he wasn't able to finish his sentence when he felt something sharp breaking through the skin of his neck, causing him to yelp in pain. He shut his eyes tightly as he realised what the other was doing, trying to get rid of the pain.
Ciel collected all his remaining power in his left leg and kicked the gut of the boy behind him, causing Alois to release him with a cough, the dark haired boy hissing as the sudden exit made a scratch through the side of his neck.
He turned back, panting and holding the (left) side of his neck with his left hand. He froze when he felt fresh liquid flowing from two little holes.
When he turned back, he noticed his friend wiping his mouth with his sleeve, turning its white colour into a crimson one. He licked the remaining blood from his mouth with a grin as he looked at the shaking boy. The thing causing the boy shiver the most was the pentagram on the tongue of the boy.
"A... Alois...?"
Has his lover really turned into a blood-thirsty vampire?
"What's the problem Ciel? I've thought you would be happy to see me this powerful~" – Alois retorted with a teasing voice as he easily lifted a huge rock beside him.
Ciel's eyes widened more (A/N: if it's possible xD) and immediately ran to his gun and raised it at the blonde with a shaking hand. – "You are... not the one I know!"
Alois started to laugh loudly, even tilting his head back. – "You are right Ciel, I'm not the old myself. I'm strong and have a huge influence between the demons!"
Ciel couldn't take it anymore as he gritted his teeth and collected his courage.
BANG
The dark haired boy was panting as he looked up at his goal, but froze when he noticed that Alois was standing there, holding the shot bullet between his two fingers with a sigh.
"You never learn, do you?" – he asked as he disappeared and reappeared behind the younger boy – "Things like that won't work on us!"
Ciel turned back and tried to grab the other, but Alois just jumped up on one branch of the tree above him laughing.
"And don't forget that we are ten times faster than you humans!" – he added and sent a kiss with his fingers towards the boy – "See you next time, darling~!" – and with that he started to jump on the branches of the other trees, getting away.
Ciel gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
"ALOIS TRANCY! Get ready, I will be the one to defeat you! Don't forget it!" – he shouted with his remaining power. He knew that although he couldn't see the blonde any more, with his hearing he heard him clearly.
However, the adrenalin which kept him awake has left him as he started panting and fell to the ground, grabbing his neck. It was burning and blood was still flowing from it because of the deep scratches.
Ciel felt his eyelids getting heavier as his sight started to get blurry. He wasn't even able to recognise the shadow coming towards him. He felt his body being lifted with a sigh from the figure lifting him.
"I've warned you..."
Were the last words he heard before falling unconscious, his arm falling beside his body.
Ciel woke up wincing as the sudden sunlight hit his face. He put one hand on his temple to cover half of it, sitting up on the bed.
'Wait... bed?!' – his eyes widened as he realised he had been sleeping on the bed of his room. – 'Yes... somebody has found me and must have brought me here...' – he thought with a sigh.
He lifted his hand shakily to his neck and realised it was bandaged, causing him to grin.
'So it really wasn't a nightmare...'
Suddenly, his door was opened slightly, but after entirely – "Looks like you have woken up!" – greeted a smiling Sebastian.
"Yeah... were you the one who found me...?" – Ciel asked with his usual cold voice, not looking at the prince.
"Yes, but you immediately passed out and had been sleeping for almost a day..." – the tall man sighed, putting a hand on his temple.
"I see..." – the young boy replied, looking up at the window, noticing that the sun has almost gone down. – "I'm sorry..."
Sebastian looked at him with a questioning look, but soon realised what he was talking about. He went to the bed with a smile and sat down next to the boy and put a hand on his shoulder.
"You didn't know it..."
"Tell me one thing... are you a stupid vampire too...?" – Ciel asked still looking out the window, his bangs covering his face.
The prince smiled – "No, don't worry. I don't understand why Alois chose to be a thing like that... They are-"
"He wanted power."
"Hm?"
"He said that now he has a huge influence over the demons now. Is that true...?"
"Well... partly..."
"What do you mean by 'partly'?" – Ciel raised one eyebrow, still not looking at Sebastian.
"You see... being a prince in this world is just a cover for us, made up by our father. Actually, the queen governs this country, but our father insisted on us having a good relation with her. However, in order to hide our true identities, we had to make up with a plan and ended up like this..."
"You mean... that you are not even a true prince?!" – now Ciel looked at him with a shocked face.
"Not in this world!" – Sebastian raised a finger, emphasising on the word 'this'.
"So your father is...?" – the young boy started to ask with a shaky voice, but the prince answered before he could continue.
"The king of Hell, yes."
Ciel froze. He has been spending his last weeks with the two princes of Hell, who could easily kill people with just a snap!
"Judging from your face it really has shocked you." – Sebastian commented with a smile, causing the young boy to blush and turn away.
"No... just... I thought that the princes of Hell wouldn't go to a world like ours..."
"Well, you are not the only one..." the prince said as he laid back on the bed, his arms behind his head.
Ciel laid down beside him, but in a slightly curled position (A/N: you know when your arms are curled in front of your chest). – "What do you mean...?" – his voice wasn't angry or serious anymore, rather curious, causing the prince to grin and put a hand on the boy's cheek.
"I'm happy that you are not that hostile anymore."
Ciel felt a huge blush appearing on his cheeks, as he slapped the hand away – "Just answer the question already!" – he retorted, furrowing his eyebrows.
Sebastian chuckled – "Of course, of course." – He returned his hand behind his head as he continued – "As there are the two of us as want-to-be heirs, our father ordered us to get into this world and country and get to know about how the queen governs the place. When we return, he would ask us about our experiences and decide his heir based on our answers."
"In other words... he is curious which of you could govern the place with intelligence and not power..."
"Yes, you can say it like that too."
"And Alois has gained himself a huge power by joining Claude..."
"Yes. However, he didn't join him, but made a contract."
"A what?" – Ciel frowned.
"A contract between him and Claude. Usually demons make contracts with humans to help them reach what they want in return for their soul." – Sebastian said as he put a hand on his chin, thinking.
"I don't mind. The only thing which matters is that Claude has turned him into a blood-thirsty vampire!"
There was a moment of silence, before Ciel spoke up again.
"Tell me one more thing..."
"What would it be~?" – Sebastian asked with a teasing voice, causing the boy to blush.
"Stop acting like that already! It's embarrassing!"
The prince just chuckled as an answer, but got up from his place – "So?"
"Can demons... be killed then as well...?"
Sebastian froze at the question, but it was replaced by a grin as he answered – "Of course. Although the weapons of this world are unusable against us, our world has same weapons made for the killing of demons."
"So you have to use a demon-killer weapon, if you want to even hurt one..." – Ciel summed with a sigh as he sat up, looking at the prince, who was now leaning to the door.
"Yes. Any more questions?"
However, there was no answer.
"Ciel...?"
Still nothing, the boy was just staring down at the sheets, his bangs covering his eyes.
"Oi, Ciel, I'm asking you!" – he started to approach the boy, but stopped when the boy looked up with a serious face.
"Ci-"
"Sebastian Michaelis, I order you to teach me how to use those weapons!"
Sebastian froze. It wasn't enough that the boy called him by just his name, but he also ordered him? It caused a huge grin appear on his face as he folded his arms.
"I warn you that I'm not that warm-hearted when it's about training..."
"I don't mind, just teach me!" – the determination on Ciel's face never left as he spoke.
Sebastian kneeled down and put one hand before his chest.
"Yes, my lord."
Okay, so this is the new chapter :D!
And if you apologise~ * hides in the corner *
Please don't kill me for turning Alois into a vampire, but when I looked at him in that costume, I thought it would be perfect for him instead of just a normal demon ^^'... Please don't kill me, but feel free to tell me if you don't like the idea!
I try to update soon C:!
