Season 2 Chapter 1~
A calm, quiet, yet high pitched voice called out to me. I opened my eyes and looked at the small figure above me, she was holding on to the edge of her black dress. Yelling to me.
"Jim! Wake up! Hurry! Wake up please!"
A sweaty blond boy woke up with a start, looking around frantically. As if checking to see if was still in this world, he rubbed his face, wiping off the cold sweat covering him in the process. He inhaled deeply before yelling,"Claude!"
Alois walked upstairs to get ready for bed, Claude following close behind. The demon butler paused at the sound of a knock on the door. He calmly opened the door to come face to face with a man with a top hat and a long trench coat on. Next to him sat a medium sized white dog, it had a black collar with a large bell attached to its neck. And surprisingly he just sat nonchalantly, waiting for the man next to him to move.
"What brings you here at this time of night?"
The man answered him,"We've been caught in the storm..May I bother you for a nights lodging?" Claude stared at the queer guests, and Alois took the chance to walk up. He exclaimed,"Wow! He's so filthy, he looks like a drowned rat!" The blonde walked right up to the stranger and whispered,"But, you smell nice. I wonder what your name is?" he backed up,"We'll let them stay. Got that Claude?"
•••••••
Alois pushed another plate at the cloaked man,"Try this too! Claude's cooking is disgustingly good!" The guest nodded and said,"Yes, it's quite magnificent. However...there's a tiny speck of sauce on the rim of the plate." Claude took up the plate and left to replace it, commenting on the guests keen eye. He walked past the dog on the floor, who was currently laying. Watching everything yet resting at the same time, the only sounds heard from the small animal was the soft dings of the bell on his neck.
Later, the cloaked guest sat in his room. The dog sniffing around for a place to lay back down. Hannah walked into the room, a bandage covering her right eye. The man asked,"May I asked what happened to your eye?" The young female turned away and answered,"Nothing." He continued,"It must be hard to work under those conditions, I admire your strength to still be working." Before she could answer, Alois walked in,"Hannah, are you trying to get attention from our guest by wearing that silly bandage around?"
The poor woman couldn't even answer before the blonde (literally) kicked her out. He clicked his tongue and said,"She's so weird, always wanting attention.. Anyway, what's in that trunk of yours?! Clothes? Sweets?! It must be great to travel, I wish I could travel. This mansion is so dull.."
The man smirked and said,"Dull? Bit I've heard that there's something interesting underneath this mansion." Alois looked up,"Really?!" He nodded and said,"Tell you what, show me what's downstairs and I'll show you what's in the trunk." Alois happily agreed.
••••••
Alois carried a candle as they walked downstairs, he walked past rows of things on shelves, stopping when his guest said,"That must be it." Alois picked up the box of tea,"Its just tea."
"New moon drop," the cloaked man explained,"People say that leaves plucked on the night of a full moon have a clear, sweet smell. However, leaves plucked on the night of the new moon have an opposite smell. It's also known as 'souls temperature'." He reached for the box, only to have the blonde teen snatch his hand back. "It's alright;I promise to give this to you. But first.."
"Show me what's in that trunk," Claude finished the sentence from behind the guest. He threw golden knives at the man, ripping the cloak he had on. Claude said,"Sebastian Michaelis." He raised a hand and threw more knives at Sebastian, who blocked it with his cloak. He snatched the box of tea from Alois, and ran past Claude.
Claude pursued Sebastian, ignoring the annoying screams of Alois telling him to do what he was already doing. He threw knives at the suitcase, but Sebastian blocked the knives by sitting in front of the suitcase. Claude asked,"You value that suitcase over your own life?" Sebastian dodged another attack from Claude, taking a moment to whistle. This caused Pluto to appear next to Sebastian as he ran, as they ran he morphed into his human form (He has clothes though). The suitcase started to open as they ran, causing Sebastian to trip and fall. The suitcase opening to reveal Ciel inside. Pluto stopped next to Sebastian, the bell on his neck started to glow until it disappeared. The glow receded to show Elena, passed out but still breathing unlike Ciel. Alois gasped and exclaimed,"Ciel Phantomhive, I finally have you Ciel!"
Sebastian frowned,"I'm afraid not." He threw the knives in his chest at Alois,"I won't allow you to touch my master. It would defile him if you were to touch him with your foul hands." He smirked and jumped on a food cart, Pluto running behind him. Claude complained about his lack of manners while running after the two intruders. Sebastian stood on top of the chandelier in the large main hall, smirking as he smashed it. Bathing the entire hall in darkness.
Alois screamed and fell to the floor in fear, clutching his head and shaking. All of then servants turned on lights and crowded around the shivering mess on the floor. Sebastian and Pluto jumped out of the window, and Alois ordered the servants to follow them. They did, and excluding Claude, they pursued the two demons. Alois sat as Claude tried to calm him, thinking back to not so pleasant memories.
••••
Pluto ran with Elena in arms, looking over at his smirking accomplice. He didn't care much for Ciel, but he knew that Elena would want him to be alive when she woke up. She had gained such extreme injuries that she had nearly died, thankfully he was able to pull her soul and body into his collar. It let her consume his life energy, healing her in the process. He's a demon meant to be a guardian and a pet, so he was made able to heal his master if the situation called for it.
Elena shifted again, and Pluto figured she was almost awake. He had to remember to ask her about the weird dream she had where she was a white rabbit and Ciel was Alice. He could see her dreams and it was weirding him out a bit.
