Sebastian stood in the now empty room and wondered what he should do. He decided to go wake his master, it was time for him to get up anyway. The servant headed to his masters. Arrived there, he opened the curtains woke the young lord. '' Young master, it seems we have a problem.'' Ciel yawned. ''What is it so early in the morning.'' Sebastian explain the situation and the young lord sighed. He asked his servant to help him get dressed first, which he did. '' Now, do you have what I asked you to search for? '' said the young master. ''Well yes, of course.'' the demon handed a piece of paper to his master. On it was a drawing of the mark that had been imprinted on the young prince. Next to it was a text and Ciel started reading it.
'This type of mark was used to identify a slave to be. The master who wanted a certain person would put this mark on him until he obtained him/her. If he were to gain this person, he would then brand him with the real slave mark. It was also believed to be used for i-' The rest of the page was ripped. ''This was all you could fine? '' asked Ciel annoyed. ''Yes my lord. I apologize but they were no other document on this particular mark and the remaining part of the page was nowhere to be found. Although i think i have seen it somewhere else but i can't seem to recall where.'' Ciel growled annoyed. He stared at the page for a moment and then decided to try and go find the prince.
He was leaving the room with his butler when he came face to face with Agni. The young man was panicked, when he woke up, the prince was gone and nowhere to be found. Ciel tried to lie to the prince's butler but he would never believe him. Agni begged them to tell him what was going on. Ciel sigh, he has no choice but to tell the truth to the servant. Upon hearing what happened to his master, Agni paled, horrified. It was worse then he could ever imagine! When the young lord told him there were going to find him, he immediately asked to join. Ciel agreed, tired to hear the other beg.
The three of them decided to search around the house first to see if the kidnapper left any evidences. Surprisingly, he did. Right under the window was left a small piece of paper, a card with a address written on it. It was far to easy and the young lord suspected a trap. They continued there search but found no other evidence, not even a foot step. With no other choice, Ciel decided to head to the location written on the paper.
They arrived at a location, a small clothing shop. It look like any normal shop from the outside. They entered. ''Hello? Is there anyone here?'' called the young lord. No answer. The shop seemed empty of any personal which was weird since the sign on the door said open and the door was unlocked. They started searching the shop, looking for anything that could help them find the lost prince. They were going to head back when Sebasitan found what they were looking for. A hidden door heading down in the basement. A narrow stairway headed down so deep that they couldn't see the bottom even though lanterns were lid all long the stairs. One at the time, they entered the narrow path. When all of them where inside, the door suddenly slammed shut. Agni, who was the last to enter rushed to it but was to late. The door was now locked and the young man was unable to open it with force. '' It seems we have no choice but to go down now. '' commented Ciel. The three of them then initiated going down the long staircase. They were feeling cramped and the walls were humide. The descent felt like it would never end.
Finally, they arrive in an empty room. There was no door nor window, everything was made of old rocks and lanterns were the only source of light. ''I see nothing here. Search for any hidden room!'' ordered the young lord. The two man joining him did as they were told. They searched for a while before joining back where Ciel was standing. '' I have found no hidden door or passage way my lord. '' ''Me neither.'' Ciel burrow his eyebrows. ''So they only locked us in here to prevent us from finding the prince? I highly doubt it. They must be some-'' Suddenly the floor underneath them lit up and formed a strange sign. Ciel stared at it for a moment when all of a sudden, his butler fell to his knees, holding his chest with a pained expression. Agni rushed to his side worried. '' What is it Sebastian?'' Asked Ciel. Just after the young master ask him this question, Sebastian fell on the floor unconscious, still baring a pained expression.
''What-'' before Ciel could finish, a high sound started resonating through the room. He and Agni covered there ears as fast as they could. The sound only became louder and louder. It was unbearable! Ciel fell to his knees, the pain in his head was just to much even if he covered his ears. He collapsed on the floor and just like his butler, he fell into the darkness.
This chapter is a bit shorter than the other but it's because I wanted to keep a bit of suspense.
Hope you enjoyed.
