Ciel: Chapter 2
I'm really surprised at the response this story has gotten so far! Also it is so fun to write! Well, without further ado, this is chapter two of Ciel!

Ciel is now aimlessly walking about London on a chilly December afternoon a few hours after escaping the orphanage. Ash as a dogcatcher rushes past Ciel almost knocking him over. Ciel yells at him "Hey!" then he sighs in defeat and sits on a step outside the library feeling hungry. Finny passes by selling apples, "Apples! Apples! Two for a nickel!"
Ciel gets a devious idea and runs up to Finny, "Excuse me, sir, but could you donate an apple to the orphan's picnic?"
Finny gives him an apple, "Sure, why not? Nobody's buying 'em anyways!"
Ciel chuckles, "Gee thanks, mister!"
Finny thinks for a moment then questions, "Say, when is the orphan's picnic?"
Ciel smirks taking a bite then shouts running away, "As soon as I take a bite!"
Finny pouts in defeat at being conned by a child and wanders away in search of customers shouting again, "Apples! Apples!"
The sound of barking dogs emits from Ash, the dogcatchers, truck as he comes back while pushing a cart with an empty dog cage still looking for dogs, "Have you seen any stray mutts around here?"
Ciel shakes his head, "No, sir"
Ash sighs, "Good, they must be running wild over near the castle." He leaves happily.
Ciel watches him then notices Pluto come from behind a nearby building. This peeks his interest. "Huh, there's one he missed…" He cautiously goes over to Pluto. Pluto curiously trots over to Ciel in response and sniffs him. "They're after you, aren't they? Well, they're after me, too…. But don't worry; I'm not going to let them get either of us." He gently pets Pluto. "Everything's gonna be okay for the both of us."
Aberline comes up to them feeling suspicious of them. "Hey, you! Little boy. Come here!"
Ciel goes up to Aberline politely. "Yes, officer?"
Aberline sees Pluto and questions Ciel, "That dog there, Ain't he a stray?"
Ciel is taken aback by the question and decides to protect Pluto. "A stray? Oh no, officer. He's my dog!"
Aberline isn't buying it. "Your dog, huh? So, what's his name?"
Ciel hesitates for a moment while thinking, "His name? His name is… Pluto. Right! That's it!"
Aberline sighs. "I really hate liars kid." He recognizes Ciel. "Hey, wait a minute! Aren't you the orphan that ran away this morning?" Ciel stutters out, "N-N-N-No!"
