So, I ran into a situation where two of my chapters were the same one... It is now fixed but I apologize to anyone who might've been confused. Anyway! Here is my next chapter! I have been putting up around one chapter each day and that might begin to change a little. Right now, I am in the process of writing a short story about Drocell (check it out when it is done!) and school is getting busy. I promise to attempt to upload a chapter every chance I get! It just might not be everyday. So, please enjoy this chapter!
CHAPTER X
Sebastian's P.O.V.
As I was buttoning the very last button on Ciel's nightshirt, I noticed that his hands were clutching the chair. He started moving a little and I almost jumped away, afraid I was about to get caught. Instead, I only looked up at the boy to find his face right in front of mine. He had swayed a little and fell forward. As I had looked up, our foreheads met and his arms fell off the armrests to around my neck. This seemed almost impossible and I only stared at Ciel. His honeyed soft lips were so close to my own and I knew that if he awoke right at this moment, he would find a blushing teacher in his view. He then let out a light snore and I could tell that he was still asleep, this made me a little less panicky.
I picked the small boy up and carried him to his bed, and placed him in the center. I almost let a laugh escape my lips from looking at him in such a large bed. Then, I took the covers and tucked him in. I was about to exist when something caught my eye. It was a small stuffed rabbit leaning on a shelf next to the bed. Around its neck was a bow that read, "Bitter Rabbit". Finding it amusing, I placed it under the covers with Ciel.
Letting out a small laugh, I stole one last look at the boy and took my leave. As I closed the door behind me, I collapsed onto the floor and slept.
Ciel's P.O.V.
I was alone… in darkness that swirled around me and threatened to take over my body. Then, there were flames, everywhere. I could feel their heat and screamed when one leapt out at me, burning my skin. Suddenly, I was in a small room with one bed and a window. The window opened and figures came inside the room and crept towards the bed. There was a little boy sleeping in the bed, and I watched as the figure loomed over the sleeping being. Next, I saw figures looming over me and I tried to move out of the way but I could not. I had become the sleeping boy!
The kidnappers grabbed me and tossed my body out the window where I was caught by yet another intruder. I awoke to find my arms and legs tied down and I was lying on my stomach on a wooden board, completely unclothed. Heat started to gather on the lower left side of my back and it suddenly felt as if it was in flames. I realized that I was being branded and I screamed in pain.
I was still screaming when I started hearing someone shout my name.
"Ciel! Wake up!"
Then, I was aware of the familiar fabrics of my bed and the scent of my manor. But alas, I could not stop screaming. When I tried to open my eyes, it felt as though there was a knife carving them out. This only made me scream more.
It wasn't until I felt arms tighten around my body and pull me close that I stopped. Whoever this person was, they smelled nice and I felt safe. Finally able to open my eyes, I pulled back and looked at whoever saved me from that horrid dream. It was Sebastian. I heard him gasp for a reason I do not know. Not caring why he was in my home, I put my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer.
Everything started to go dark, but not like before. This kind of darkness had traces of white a silver and it made me feel comfortable. With the feeling that I would be safe for the rest of the night, I fell asleep.
