Hey guys! I'm back with another story! This song is Thriller by the one and only Michael Jackson! This was a request from Phantomgirl17. Hope you guys like it!

Ciel ran. From what, he didn't know. All he knew is that something was chasing him…

He paused and looked behind him. He saw no sign of anything, but he knew he couldn't stay long. He tried to catch his breath then quickly continued running. He tripped and stumbled over and over again, as if something were grabbing at his feet from below.

He was so scared. Where was Sebastian?

Where was he? He couldn't quite tell. Was it a hallway? He tried looking closer. Pictures lined the wallpapered walls, and small plants and side tables sat underneath them.

This wasn't any hallway, this was his hallway. The Phantomhive manor hallway.

"Don't be scared."

Ciel stopped, horror filling his body.

"It's just me. There is nothing to be afraid of."

The voice seemed to echo throughout the hallway sending shivers down the young boys back. The voice was deep and strong and confident. It made Ciel feel safe…

"I'm not going to hurt you young master…"

Sebastian?!

Ciel looked up and darted his eyes from wall to wall.

That had to be Sebastian! It was him!

He felt himself become reassured. Sebastian would find him, he would save him! He wouldn't have to be scared anymore! He opened his mouth to scream his name, to scream that he was still there and still alive, but not a single noise left his throat. He tried again, this time yelling silent cries for help.

"No I am not going to hurt you…not yet."

Ciel's eyes grew in shock. His body went stiff from fear. The words echoed in his head.

Not yet.

I am not going to hurt you yet.

Not yet.

His body trembled. He had to keep running. Sebastian couldn't save him. He was just going to hurt him.

He ran again. He ran until his lungs burnt, trying to escape the voice that leaked into his head.

Not yet.

He looked down the hall. A large door sat at what seemed to be the end of it. He knew he had to get to that door. It was going to take him out of this place.

He ran to the door, and stood in front of it. Light leaked through the cracks. He reached for the door handle. He wanted in so badly…

"I wouldn't do that, my lord."

Ciel paused, his hand freezing just before the handle.

I have to get out of here. This door will lead me somewhere else…

He touched his hand to the handle, his hesitation making him more scared. He took a deep breath and flung the door open.

Ciel's breathing stopped. His body filled with fear.

Flames. Fire. Pain. Greif.

They covered everything. The heat emanating from the room burned his skin. The fire danced cynically, consuming everything in its path. He looked through the blaze.

There is something here. I have to find it…

He strained his eyes through the fire in search of whatever was there. He knew it was there, he just didn't know what.

Then he saw it.

There they were. Not just one person, but two. Their faces sewn together and their eyes dreary and cold. They stared back at the boy with longing, asking him to forgive them.

Mother? Father?

Ciel couldn't move. He opened his mouth to scream, but nothing came out. Horror filled his body and he knew he had to leave. He had to leave or he was going to die.

He turned back towards the hallway, wanting to leave this place so badly.

"There is nowhere to go. You are stuck here, my lord."

The voice sent his body into shock. This time it was different. Scary, demonic, hungry. But it wasn't only the voice this time.

Standing only a few feet away from him was a creature. A man? No. it looked like a man, but Ciel knew better.

This was a demon.

His eyes were flashing orange and pink. His smile was twisted and broken. His body too slim and too strong to be a human. He knew this was a demon. But it wasn't any demon.

It was the demon after his own soul.

"Young master! Please! Young master! Are you ok? What is wrong!?"

Ciel opened his eyes, breathing heavily. Beads of sweat ran down his forehead. His eyes were full of tears…

"My lord… you are awake. I'm glad. You were screaming and I was worried. Are you okay?"

He didn't speak. He looked at Sebastian whose eyes were full of concern.

"Young master?"

"Make me some tea. I want Earl Grey. Please hurry…"

Sebastian bowed his head and left the room.

Ciel clutched his pillow. He hadn't been this scared since that month…

"Here is your tea, sir. Can I help get anything else?"

"Stay by my side for the rest of the night. I don't want to be alone."

Sebastian nodded and sat down beside Ciel's bed in an arm chair.

"Yes my lord."

Yay! This one was kind of crazy. I feel like I write a lot of sad Ciel stories…I hope you guys don't mind. I really like his character and think he is super fun to write about. I will try to make happier stories! Don't forget to request! Bye!
