Ciel was awakened by a ray of early morning light streaming in through his small window. He sighed and sat up, rubbing the sleep from his good eye. Putting on his eye patch, he got out of bed, and walked to his dresser.

He decided on a green outfit and got it out, dressing himself. Ciel looked at himself in a cracked mirror over his dresser, tying a blue bow around his neck and patting down his hair.

He looked down at his poor clothes, and shook his head, getting socks out from the second drawer. Why do I even bother? These clothes make me stand out even more in this god damn house.

Ciel got his shoes and walked to a chair to put them on. When Ciel was done getting dressed he made his bed and went to find something to eat.

He was up earlier than usual, even before Linda but he didn't mind. He liked it better alone anyway. Ciel got a small plate of food and went to his room. He placed the plate on a small brown table, and went over to his bed.

Kneeling down, he pulled out a box from a hidden spot under his bed. Ciel smiled lightly at the shiny wood and carefully got up and walked to the brown table. He set up the game of chess that lay within the box, and sat down. Ciel played his game and ate his breakfast until he heard a knock on the door.

"Ciel, we have a guest," Linda called from the other side of the door, her voice slightly muffled.

He looked up from the board, and rolled his eyes. Waste of bloody time, we all know I'm not going to be adopted. Nonetheless, the small boy still got up and put away his game, going to greet their guest.

Before he walked out of the room he spared a glance at his mirror. He sighed and shook his head, deciding it made no difference. Ciel then walked to the living room and lined up with all the other children, and soon everyone was accounted for.

Linda had a glittery grin on her face. "These are the children, if you want to know something about them ask me or them," she told the guest.

The guest was a young pretty woman with a soft smile. She went down the row looking each of the children up and down very carefully. It seemed to Ciel though that it was more like scrutiny, like the woman was looking for something, someone specific? He wasn't sure. Although her face was kind and open she didn't show that she was really interested in the children themselves. Her smile didn't reach her eyes.

When she walked in front of Ciel her eyes met his. She seemed to be taking a bit of interest in him, catching his attention.

"What is your name boy?" she asked her smile growing a bit.

Linda immediately jumped in. "He is mute ma'am."

She turned her head to Linda. "Then what is his name?"

"Ciel Phantomhive. He's a nice little boy keeps to himself, real quiet." Linda smiled at Ciel, softening her words.

The woman smiled. "Lovely, then may I have him?" There was something almost predatory in the woman's eyes, but it happened in a flash and Ciel wasn't sure it wasn't just a trick of light. Still, he had a feeling of foreboding with the woman. Why, after all this time, would he be adopted? What was it about him that this woman saw? It didn't make sense.

Linda's face brightened up, like she just got something wonderful. She started rambling and ushered Ciel and the woman into a separate room, telling the other kids to run off and play.

Ciel's face remained the same but inside something fluttered and stirred. Linda went over a few things with her, and after they talked for a bit Linda told Ciel to go pack up his things while the adults do all the formal things.

Ciel nodded and went to his room packing everything he had, which wasn't much at all. It fit in one big suitcase. When he closed the lid he let a small smile grace his lips. It lasted a second before it disappeared behind his usual emotionless mask.

Maybe this will be for the best. Maybe I will get the revenge my parents deserve...The revenge I deserve.

Ignoring the feeling that was now prickling in the back of his mind, Ciel touched his eye patch and stared at his suitcase. He felt a ball of emotions whirl inside of his chest, threatening to choke him. He took a deep breath and let his mind go blank, let it numb him let him forget...

Don't think don't feel don't scream don't cry don't fight.

Ciel let his hand drop to his side and picked up the suitcase off his bed. He walked to where his new guardian stood smiling, ready to start a new happy life with him. Or so he thought. Again, he pushed the warning out of his mind when he looked at her smile that didn't reach her eyes. All that mattered was at least he was getting out of here, and could finally make his dream of revenge come true.

Linda gave him a hug and shed a few tears making him promise to visit. The woman walked him to a nice looking carriage, with a butler ready with the door wide open.

I can't feel.

He got in after her and sat on a plush seat, setting his suitcase next to him. Two men sat on ether side of him. The door closed and she gave him a sugar sweet smile. A false smile. He knew then something was wrong…

I can't speak.

Suddenly a cloth covered Ciel's nose and mouth making him take in a sharp breath. Black silk snakes slithered up Ciel's spine and wrapped around his mind.

Or I will die.

~x~x~x~

The first thing Ciel noticed when he woke up was that he was tied up. The second thing he noticed was a cloth tied around his eyes and mouth. A rope was tied around his wrist and ankles and he wiggled to see how strong they were. As soon as he moved though a light warning kick was given to his side.

"Aeh! No movin around!" a male voice called.

Ciel stilled, smart enough to know to obey. The man was most likely stronger then him and he was tied up. He couldn't really do much. He kicked himself mentally, for letting himself be taken advantage of so easily. He should have known better…

"Is he kicking around already? Boss said if he did give him something to calm down, yeah?"

He heard a sigh come from the man who kicked him. " I got ya."

"Can you handle him by yourself?" The other guy asked sounding as if he were lifting something heavy.

"Yeah, I don't think he's a fighter, smart one I say." He gave a few short laughs, messing with some glass bottles.

Ciel was scared and deeply confused, but knew he wouldn't be able to do much about it until these stupid restraints were gone. He felt someone (mostly likely the man who kicked him) pick him up and put him down on something way more comfortable, a bed maybe?

The man went away and he wiggled around, taking short stressed breaths through his nose. He jumped when his arm was suddenly grabbed.

"Relax kid, I ain't goin' to hurt ya. Good kids like you won't get no pain. Just be real still and no fightin'. Make you feel real good, yes I will, " the man continued, ridding up Ciel's sleeve and washing a small part of his arm with some kind of cold wet cloth.

Ciel stilled and let the man do what he pleased, deciding that it would most likely cause less pain. He felt a prick, and then his arm got very warm.

The warmth crawled up to his chest then spread to the rest of his body. His head filled with liquid silk, and Ciel let it fall to the side resting on a soft pillow. He distantly heard the man tell his buddy that the "kid" was ready before he got lost in the soft hum of his body.

~x~x~x~

Ciel suddenly felt his body being moved. He was barely aware of rough hands lifting him and setting him down on a hard tilted surface. His hands were tied above his head, and a hum of voices could be heard. The blindfold around his eye was pulled off. Thankfully his eye patch was still on.

"Ladies and gentlemen! This is our last pet of the night..." a low voiced purred, and Ciel thought it sounded familiar somehow. He opened his eye, a bright light shining in. He flinched and heard the strange voice go on about someone.

His mind was filled with something thick, making it hard to think. Ciel tried to get a better hold of himself. He blinked and looked around trying to figure out were he was. A firm gloved hand took a hold of his chin and made him look straight ahead.

"Look at that face! A very beautiful pet, valuable even with the disabilities..."

He heard what sounded like people calling off numbers. What the hell is she saying, is she talking about me? But the thought soon drifted away. His eyes closed and the world tuned out.

Suddenly Ciel was lifted. His arms finally got to rest from being strained for so long, and he relaxed. He gave up on everything and drifted back to sleep.
