Chapter 8: Chapter 8

I don't own anything or anyone beside Ciel

*CIEL POV*

That had to be the best Mac 'n Cheese I have ever had in my life. Now the table condition while I ate it.. not so great. Let me just put it this way, the weight of the stares on me actually caused me to move slower. It was like I had some crazy lunatic perched on my shoulder whispering things like "Do you see them too?" Into my ear.

Okay. That was odd. Forget I said that. Back in reality, I am sitting on Jeb and Dr. M's bed while they stare at me with a quaint little mixture of worry, concern, sadness, and curiosity.

"So, Ciel. Are you going to tell Jeb and I why you passed out?" Dr. M seemed genuinely worried. She and Jeb had taken me into their room again to talk. I may humor her. She seems nice and down to Earth. The way a real mom should always be. Now Jeb... not so much. He was probably just wanting to know so he could at it to his growing list of reasons on 'Why to exterminate experiment 001X'

"Can I just tell you?" I mumbled while looking at my hands resting on my lap. Huh. I never knew my knuckles were so scarred.

I heard low murmurs before a soft *Click* I looked up just in time to se Dr. M turning back around after closing the door and finding that Jeb has left The House of Embarresment, or at least The Room of Terror. (I promptly named it that after I realized that the two worst things that has happened to me so far here have both happened in this room.)

"Ok, sweetie. I made Jeb leave. Now you do realize that I have to tell Jeb., so he can help you too." Damnnit. I knew that, just hoping that she wouldn't. Out of the kindness of her heart maybe. I guess all people have at least one bad bone in their body.

"Yeah... I know." This day officially SUCKS.

"So?" She was gazing at me with wide eyes. Okay. Here goes nothing.

"Well.. you know how Jeb said that I was taken from my home at the age of six?"

"Yes. I am aware."

"Well, the day that I was taken, a siege of Erasers came to my home. When they came into the kitchen where my mom and I were, my mom fought back. Or tried to," By now tears were streaming down my face and Dr. M looked at me in horror, understanding, and sympathy, "Anyway when she tried to keep them from getting me they mauled her. Brutally. And I just sat there and cried. I didn't do anything! And I just watched as her blood spilled onto our Egyptian cotton rug! Just sat there! I DIDN'T DO... anything." I whispered the last word as my body crumbled. Reliving that sucked. But Jeb not being here made it so much easier.

*DR M POV*

Oh my. That poor girl. She had to see her mom murdered then experience nine years of pain and torture after that.

I just held her while she cried. How else was I supposed to comfort her?

*MAX POV*

We waited for five minutes before Jeb came out with a look of speculation etched on his features.

"So old man, what's up with Little Miss Better Than Us?" He gave me a disapproving glare before answering.

"She had Valencia kick me out. We won't know until they both come out." I just raised my eyebrow at him before sitting back down next to Fang who put his hand on my upper thigh. I looked at his hand and smiled. At least I know that he still loves me after the thoughts I had earlier.

We waited for another thirty five minutes before Ciel came out with red, puffy eyes and her head hung low and my mom looking distraught. Iggy stood up and looked at my mom.

"So? What happened?" My mom looked at Ciel with concern as the girl just nodded almost inperceptively and walked out the front door. No doubt going flying.

"I think we all better sit down before I tell you all this." Why would we need to do that?

"What? We have all been through some tough stuff. Just spit it out. How bad can it be?" I didn't know that I was horribly mistaken.

*Ten min. later*

My jaw dropped. Woah. That sucks. I feel really bad for what I thought about Ciel. I still don't like her for being 'better than us' but I now knew why she acted clinically insane. Everyone in the room had just about the same reaction. Fang had widened his eyes greatly, Nudge was in tears, Gazzy looked sad, Angel was also in tears, and Iggy looked beyond pissed. Like he wanted to rip anyone's head off. I, not being the one to be the victim of such fury, scooted back and closer to Fang. So that he acted sort of like a human shield.

"What the hell! Jeb!," Iggy turned his attention to the frightened scientist, no doubt seeing (metaphorically) red, "How could you let this happen! To Ciel of all people! You are the most masochistoc, psychotic person I know!," And as Iggy got closer into Jeb's face, he ground out through clenched teeth, "And I wish I never did." He then promptly flew out (not literally) the front door to go looking for Ciel.

And we all just sat there. No one knew what to do. After I don't know how long, Jeb got up, walked out the front door, and drove away; no one having a clue where he was going. Then my mom left for her room and the kids went to go watch TV.

Once everyone was gone I looked at Fang.

"Well, that was... unthought of." Fang just nodded.

"Want to go out?" And once again, Fang just nodded. He is quite the talker. He is going to give Nudge a run for her money one day. Haha. NOT.

*CIEL POV*

After walking away from The House of Embarresment I shot off of the ground and flew to the nearby forest. Once I found a nice sittable tree I sat. And guess what I did? That's right, I cried. And cried. And wait for it... cried. I cried until I felt the branch sag beneath the weight of another person. One quick peek through my hair and I discovered that that person was Iggy. Oh great, now he knows and is hear to laugh at me. So as I braced myself for hysterical laughter I found him doing something completely different. Hugging me. Actually hugging me. And whispering things in my ear like "I'm here for you" and "It's going to be okay". Once he started to soothingly rub my back and manage to send erotic waves of heat and electricity throughout my body I finally looked up at him.

"Thank you." For everything. Being you and all. I finshed in my head.

"No problem. Like I said before, it's nice to be the comforter and not the comfortee sometimes." With that he smiled. And I felt at peace. It was a beautiful moment that I wish would have lasted longer. But noooo. No one will give Ciel Black two minutes of peace. Someone just has to scream.

But as I found myself plummeting the fifty feet to the ground I found out that that person was me. With a needle shooting out of my neck. And as I looked up I saw Iggy in the same condition, except already passed put. Oh. What joy my life holds.
