Ciel found himself in a wooded area, night had fallen and all was still. Evian grabbed onto his hand tightly.
"I am afraid of this place Mama,and the scary monsters. Will you please let me hold onto your hand?" The younger demon whimpered.
"Yes Evian, for as long as you want." Ciel promised. "Where did you see the red circle?" Evian pointed to the sky.
"It is up there and I am afraid of it." Ciel looked up.
"That looks like the moon Evian,you've seen one before many times. It just looks red,it's nothing to be afraid of." Ciel soothed.
"Yes, it is bad. It will come soon and stay for a long time, the monsters are bad,they make us different and I will be so sad."
"Evian, I don't understand,I need you to be very brave right now. What's going to happen?"
"It is all red Mama, will you please hold me?" He sobbed. Ciel picked him up and rubbed his back softly.
"It is that way Mama, that is where the monsters are. Please do not get too close." Evian pleaded as tears fell.
"It's alright Evian, I have you." Ciel began to walk in the direction his son pointed. Evian kept his eyes on the blood moon above them, his body trembled in his mother's arms.
"Mama, it is following us." He whispered.
"The moon doesn't follow anyone, it might look like it but-"
"No, it is. It wants to get us, I am sorry Mama, I can not show you anymore. Please do not be angry with me. I tried."Before Ciel could say a word, he could hear low chanting from the forest in every direction,he held Evian closer. Though he couldn't make out the words, it was enough to startle Ciel.
"The Bloody Moon Mama, it is bad, please I want to go home now." Evian squeezed his eyes closed and buried his face in Ciel's shirt.
"It's not a bloody moon, it's called a blood moon, it's just because it looks red, it's not really." The voices were getting louder now and Ciel felt as if something was coming closer.
"Not this one Mama, it is the bloody moon. I am afraid Mama!" Evian shrieked and Ciel opened his eyes to find himself back in his castle with a sobbing Evian in his cradled his son, rocking him gently as they heard footsteps approaching.
"Are you both alright,what happened?"Sebastian asked noticing how protectively his mate was holding their son.
"I think we need to talk later." Ciel said softly.
"Young Master, is everything okay?" Mey-Rin asked as she and the other servant arrived followed by Lizzy.
"I think Ciel and Evian need some time to calm themselves. Lady Elizabeth, would you be so kind as to watch the other children?"
"Of course."
"M-Mama, I do not want it, I want to make it go away. Please?"
"If I could take this away Evian, I would. You're my brave boy. I know that was scary and you kept going. I'm so proud of you and I'm so sorry I had to keep you there. We'll figure it all out. I would never let anything happen to you or your brothers and sisters. I'll always protect you." Ciel promised as Sebastian wrapped his arms around both of them.
"If you protect us from the scary things, who will protect you and dad?" Evian cried tightening his grip on his mother's jacket.
"I will protect your mother as always, you needn't worry about that." Sebastian stroked his son's hair comfortingly.
"I love Mama and you dad, I do not want you to go away!" He broke into hysterical sobs. Ciel and Sebastian would sit there for nearly an hour before the child began to calm down. When little Evian had cried himself to sleep, Ciel turned his attention to Sebastian.
"What did he show you Ciel, it seems to have frightened you both very badly."
"We were in the woods,it was dark and he told me that he was afraid of the monsters and -"
"What monsters, surely he understands that we can protect him."
"He said we were different, I didn't get much out of him but the one thing that seemed to scare him the most was the moon. It was a blood moon that he said was trying to get us. But he didn't call it a blood moon, he-He called it a bloody moon. I told him that's not what it is but he insisted so -" Sebastian kissed his head.
"I'll see father immediately." The older demon stood up.
"Does that mean something to you?"
"It's probably nothing Ciel, but I want to speak to him about it."
"You know something don't you?"
"Trust me, when I have the information I will give it to you. For the moment,and for our children's sake as well as your own, please try to calm down. I love you very much and I will do everything I can to put an end to this fear." Sebastian left no too to reply and disappeared from Ciel's view leaving his mate to sit in the room with his sleeping son and wait.
