A/N: Hey you guys! I decided to make this chapter real quick before I leave for Grand Junction. I just wanted to say that I had temporary writers block, but that's ok because I ended up getting an idea for my story anyway. Please review! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroshitsuji... Sadly.

Love, Ghoul-san~!

Ciel was finally terrified. He was trembling in his chains. Enfer had his men unchain Ciel, flip his over, and chain him up again while he was on his stomach. The branding iron was hot. Last time Ciel was branded, he was able to summon Sebastian. This time, the brand was for pure ownership, and punishment. Ciel felt the hot metal against his skin as it boiled. The boy scream from the top of his lungs. It hurt. The pain was almost unbearable, but Ciel knew that Enfer wouldn't stop there. He just didn't know that there would be mental torture too.

When the brand was finished, Ciel was unchained, and a chair was brought out, in which he was strapped to. The light in his eyes went dull. When Enfer brought a young girl with blonde hair into the chamber, he went pale. "Lizzy." He said. The chair the young Earl was in, was turned to face the operating table-now covered in Ciel's blood- where Elizabeth would be placed. "W-what are you gonna do to her?" Ciel whimpered, and Elizabeth heard him. Unfortunately, she was blindfolded and couldn't see her fiance.

"Ciel?! Ciel what's going on? What are you doing here? What am I doing here? What's happening." The blonde girl asked, terrified of what may happen.

"Lizzy! I'm sorry! This is all my fault! They want me! Not you! They're doing this to hurt me! Using you was just convenient I guess." Ciel apologized. They chained her up on her stomach, and brought out a whip.

"W-what are you doing? Why can't I move? Ciel? Why would anyone want to hurt you? I don't unde-" Lizzy was cut off by a crack of a whip. When the whip met her back, she shrieked.

"I'm sorry! Please! Don't hurt her!" Ciel was then backhanded, and the whip met the young girl's back again. "PLEASE! I'll do anything! You wanted me to beg?! I'm begging! Just- Please -Stop!" Enfer smirked.

"'Anything,' you say? Mmmm. But your cries are delicious! I think I'll continue... Just to hear a bit more." The evil man chuckled. They continued to whip Lizzy, and Ciel continued to beg. Finally, Enfer stopped his men. They untied Ciel and threw him over to the table next to Lizzy. Ciel began to calm down as he tapped Lizzy the way he does with Sebastian. Luckily, she understood. Ciel explained this form of communication to her when they were younger, after his father taught him.

What Ciel said was: "I am going to get on my knees and beg for your life. They will release you, but first make you swear that you won't tell anyone. You will make that promise, but then you will tell my servants where I am. They can save me. I know they can." Elizabeth whimpered and then responded when Ciel grabbed her hand, making it look like he was trying to comfort her.

"Alright- But what about you?" She tapped, worried.

"I'm sorry." Ciel said aloud. Then, said the rest through morse code. "I need you to be afraid. I will come back alive, I promise. I just might not be in one piece, so to speak." With that Ciel got on his knees before Enfer. "I'm begging you. Do anything you want with me, but let the girl go. I will do anything and everything. Just, please let her go, alive. I'll even let you kill me." Ciel plead.

"No! Ciel! Why would you say that?!" Before Ciel could say anything in response, he was kicked in the chin.

"You are taking all of the fun out of this, you know that? Alright men. Let her go. Girl! If you tell anyone, your boyfriend here will die." Eleveur said. Lizzy nodded, got unblindfolded, and when she saw Ciel, she was shocked. He looked like he was in pain... Yet he smirked. She gasped, averted her eyes, and got escorted out of the chamber and away from the church...

With Lady Elizabeth...

When they unblindfolded her, she took in the sight of her love. She was shocked. Ciel was covered in blood, no finger or toenails, cuts all over his body, a brand on the right side of his back-another on the left, but it looked older-, his clothes were in shreds, and the boy was on his stomach. 'But Ciel is so strong! Why would he be-' Elizabeth was cut off mid thought when she saw him smirk. It was a devious smirk, which meant that he was planning something. Now Elizabeth knew what Ciel meant about Ciel's servants. She heard that they were all special in one way or another. She gasped, looked away from her fiance, and left. Before she was taken away, she was blindfolded again, but not before she saw the name of the old church. 'Darrow Church'

When she got home, her maid asked her what happened. The young girl explained what happened to her, and Ciel's situation, and they went to his manor straight away. When they got there, Sebastian was standing outside almost as if he was awaiting her arrival. He looked concerned. "Mi' Lady" Sebastian knelt on one knee, and kissed the girl's hand. "If you are here to see Ciel, we don't know where he is. We are searching the town now."

"That is what I came to tell you! I know where Ciel is! He's in really bad shape too. He's underneath the Darrow Church in the next village over! You have to save him!" Lizzy cried. She was very worried.

"Oh dear. Please Miss Elizabeth. Come have a seat, and tell me and the others what exactly you saw." Sebastian said. Bard, Meyrin, and Finny all came to hear what Elizabeth had to say. They were all very worried. Elizabeth explained what Ciel's condition was, where he was, and what they made her promise. She also told the servants what Ciel said, and that worried them even more. "We must do something about this. We will need a little help. Sadly, I must get Grell. Lady Elizabeth, I need you and your servant to speak with Alois Trancy. We will need him to take care of things here. And if what you say is true, then we need his butler's medical services. We may also need... the Undertaker." Sebastian explained. The mood became rather morbid in an instant. Then, Sebastian sent Finny, Meyrin, and Bard to get to the church, sent Elizabeth to Alois, and went to get Grell and inform the Undertaker of the current situation.

With Sebastian

He went to go and get Grell and told him about the situation. "And what's in it for me if I help?" Grell asked.

"I'll let you spend the whole day with me. And yes, I mean the whole day. From morning, all the way to mid-night. I know not what day it will be, but when the Young Master is okay with it." Sebastian promised. Grell thought for a moment, but then agreed. Grell quickly made his way to the church.

Sebastian told Undertaker the situation, and went back to the manor to check on things there. When he arrived, he saw Claude and Alois. Lizzy told Alois the situation, and he was terrified for Ciel. Claude didn't seem too bothered by it, and was sitting in the manor on stand-by. Sebastian would already be at the church, but he is a demon and can't enter. That explains why he couldn't sense his Master. He didn't even know if Ciel was in pain!

With Ciel

Ciel was chained down again. Enfer decided that he would brand the boy one more time. When he did, it was right in the middle of the back. When Enger was satisfied with the young earl's reaction, he had him unchained. The light in Ciel's eyes was gone. All that was left was a dull, pale and fragile blue in his left eye. The eyepatch on his right eye was never removed, but it was a pale violet. The symbol on it was gray. Ciel stared blankly at the other end of the cage he was thrown back into. He couldn't think straight, and he wouldn't speak. He was finally broken. Ciel was completely traumatized. He continued to stare, even when he heard a large crash in the corridor of the chamber he was in. Four people came running into the wretched chamber. It was Meyrin, Bard, Finny, and Grell. They all came to save him, but Ciel couldn't look up. He wouldn't move, he wouldn't even speak. He was still just staring blankly. He didn't even respond when they called his name. It was almost as if he didn't hear them. He didn't believe that they were actually there. Ciel brought his knees to his chest, and hugged them closer to himself. The bluenette buried his face in his knees, and refused to open his eyes once they were shut. He feared that what he would see was another brand. He couldn't bear the pain, or the fear. He just wanted it all to stop.
