Ciel widened his eyes and gasped when he saw the cannonball. "P-pirates?" He ran with the boys, breathing heavily just after a few minutes. He never thought he would get attacked by pirates, since his manor was far away from the city, so there was no harm. Yet, his father always fought with pirates, he always tried to make them stop and Ciel wanted to help. He got under the trap door and sat down on the floor, panting heavier than all of the others. "They aren't going to find us here, right?" He asked as he calmed down his breathing. "And I'm fine, don't worry, Alois." He smiled slightly. The floor creaked loudly and Ciel gasped, immediately hiding behind Alois.
Alois covered Ciel's mouth with his hand, hearing the floor creak above them. ''There's no one here, let's find them somewhere else.'' An annoyed voice said and Alois bit his lip, hearing the footsteps coming closer. He took off his old coat and wrapped it around Ciel. ''They better not find out that you're a noble, trust me...'' He whispered, envelopping his arms around the boy protectively. He widened his eyes when some light entered the trap and gasped a little. ''Well well...that's all? I thought there would have been more but still, no one will care if we took them or not. Let's take them on the ship, the captain made his way here after all.'' The man huffed annoyed, pressing the cigarette between his lips. He pointed his guns on Ciel and Alois and the blonde grabbed Ciel's hand in his own firmly before getting out of the trap. ''Good boys...No harm will be done to you if you cooperate. Finny, take care of the others.'' The other young man nodded and grabbed the others easily, it was useless for them to struggle since the boy seemed very strong for his appearance. ''I can't see shit with all these people running around, we'll have to clear the way to the ship.'' The older man replied annoyed, pulling Ciel and Alois with him. ''No! Our contract says 'take the children and leave the city', the captain will be mad if he gets problems because of useless murders!'' Finny explained, making the other scoff irritated. ''You're too soft to be a pirate Finny.''
Ciel listened to the voices, moving closer to Alois. He nodded and pulled the coat around him, buttoning it up quickly. "Don't worry, they won't do anything to me." He muttered. He looked up, seeing the two men that opened the trap door. He widened his eyes slightly. "M-my parents will care." He muttered. "My dad will kill you all." He whispered, knowing that the males won't hear him. He widened his eyes when one of the men pointed the gun at him and he got up slowly, holding Alois's hand tightly as they walked out. "Don't call me a good boy." He glared up at the man and huffed. "It's disgusting to hear you say that to me." He began following the men calmly, leaning in to whisper in Alois's ear, "Everything will be fine, my father will take care of them, I promise." He turned to the pirates. "Finny?" He looked at the younger male. "You seem nicer... But I wonder who the captain is."
Finny ignored the other man's comment and turned to Ciel, smiling slightly. The olden man noticed it and rolled his eyes, pulling Ciel's arm more. ''Bardroy you don't need to be so rough!'' Finny exclaimed making the man tuned to him. ''Don't say my name in front of strangers you idiot! You never know what can happen.'' He replied angrily, walking faster towards the ship. ''Well, you said mine!'' The younger blond snapped. ''It doesn't matter, just forget it and follow me.'' He pulled Ciel aboard when they arrived to the ship and opened a small door, going down in the hold. ''Snake, open the cage.'' The grey haired man heard them coming down and nodded quietly, letting them put the boys in it. ''Where are my brother and the others?'' Alois asked taking the bars in his hands. ''They should join you soon.'' Bard replied, locking the door.
Ciel gasped lightly when the man pulled him a bit harder. "Stop." He mumbled. So the younger one was Finny and the older was Bard. It was nice to know their names, after all, he can expose their identities to his father... If he'll escape. Hs listened as they argued and sighed softly, not impressed that they were so childish. He just hopped that the captain won't be too bad so that he could escape easier. He followed the pirates to the cage, looking around. Snake. This member was weirder than the rest. He got into the cage without any protests, curling up into a ball once he sat down. "I hope your brother will be okay. No matter that you want him to join you, I think it's better if he stays in home." He said to Alois.
''No, I don't like knowing that my little brother is all alone, I'm his only family.'' Alois replied, sitting down next to Ciel. ''You're not supposed to be here, you already have a family.'' The blonde said with a sad expression. ''Now I understand why your parents don't let you go out often, you never know when pirates can come to trouble the city.'' He heard footsteps again and got up, he widened his eyes when he saw his little brother, at least they would be together. ''Luka!'' He smiled, waiting for Snake to unlock the door again. He hugged him tightly and turned to Ciel. ''It's my little bro, Luka and this is C-'' He cut himself as he was about to tell Ciel's name, having the others around him and smiled awkwardly. ''He didn't tell me his name yet actually.'' More crew members arrives with other children and they locked them all Inside, they didn't have many space in the cage now and it was quite uncomfortable.
He nodded. "Well then, I hope you'll meet your brother soon." He then sighed softly and looked at Alois. "That's true.. But it's fine, we'll escape somehow." He replied and smiled slightly. "But I like going out. It's boring to be home all the time... And it was really nice that I met you, you seem an amazing friend." Ciel said and turned to look where the blonde was looking, seeing a younger boy walking. He guessed that it was Alois's younger brother by their expressions. "Nice to meet you, Luka." He shook the boy's hand. "I'm.. Carl." He had to change his name, since if they heard him call himself Ciel, they would know that he's Vincent's son. His name was really rare. The cage was getting fuller and fuller and he had to press against Alois's side. "I wonder who is the captain. Maybe you know?" He turned to Alois.
Alois shook his head slowly. ''No, I don't know. I've never seen these guys before. They aren't the pirates who attacked the town last time.'' He replied, seeing a man walking down the stairs. He was wearing nicer clothes compare to the others and had spiky orange hair. ''Hey, are you the captain?'' The blonde asked, wrapping his arms around Luka. The man chuckled amused, walking closer to the cage. ''Man I wish I was! I wouldn't have to deal with all this and I could simply work peacefully in my cabin, letting my crew do all the dirty work.'' He eyed them with a grin. Bard widened his eyes, tapping his shoulder nervously. ''Do you mind repeating that?'' A low voice spoke making the orange haired man froze and slowly turned around. '' O-of course not captain, I was just kidding.'' He rubbed his head, letting the man pass to look at the 'marchandise'.
"I see.." Ciel looked at the man, curious of who he was. He seemed a bit too cheerful to be the captain, actually. He turned to Alois when he asked the question and smiled slightly. "That is true.." He mumbled, looking up at the man with a smile. He saw how nervous Bard was and he raised an eyebrow, a bit confused. He saw another man behind the one he was talking to and he looked at him curiously. He smirked slightly at the orange haired male's reaction and then he realized that he was talking to the captain. "So you're the captain of the ship?" He looked up at the man, not getting scared even for a moment. "It's really nice to finally meet you." He said calmly before looking at Alois.
The black haired man walked a bit closer, eyeing the children. His eyes stopped on the boy who spoke to him and he grinned. ''You'll change your mind about that. You're polite and well-spoken for an orphan.'' He commented, making Alois look down at the floor. He turned to Bardroy again a bit disappointed. ''That's all there is?'' The man nodded, rubbing his neck and the captain made his way back upstairs. ''Snake you stay here. Let's leave this town now before we get company.'' His men followed him outside and soon after, the ship started moving. ''I hope no one will get sick or I'll die here.'' Alois complained, sitting back down.
Ciel gulped and stayed silent. The man could quickly discover that he wasn't an orphan if he'll talk too politely. He watched as the man talked with Bard. The male's name was still a mystery to him, and he wanted to know it. "Hey, captain, what is your name?" He asked, trying not to sound as polite as he did before. The captain left before he got an answer and he pouted, turning to look at Alois. "Me too. If someone will start vomiting, you can count us as dead." He sighed. "Ah I wish I wouldn't have left my house... But then I wouldn't have met you, which is bad. I like you." He smiled and ruffled Alois's hair, smiling slightly.
