Ciel's Pov

Its nightfall, it had to be at least 11 p.m. Alois and Claude put me in a dirty cage in the basement. It stunk of mold and mildew. It was dusty and uncomfortably warm. All I had to sleep with was a flat old pillow, and a thin blank that stopped a little past my knees. Definitely not my usual sleeping linens. My body was tired from all the work I had done throughout the day. I stared down at my dirty hands, which had touch Alois' putrid feet. I had never been so disgusted in my life. I was trying to think of a way to get out of this cage. It was locked, with a large pad lock. I thought of calling Sebastian to my side, but seeing as Claude didn't required sleep, Sebastian would most likely be at his side. I was on my own, and I had no idea what to do.

I had to get out of this house. I couldn't bare another day serving in the Trancy household. My overall plan was to sneak through the house and find Elizabeth, and free her. We would escape and go somewhere safe. Then Sebastian would be able to escape without Lizzy or I being in danger. But, none of this could be possible if I couldn't get out of this God forsaken cage. I have to think of something. I was the only hope. Sebastian didn't have any free will at the moment. Paula was unconscious, and Elizabeth was tied down somewhere in this house. It was all up to me, and I didn't know what I was going to do.

After what seemed like an eternity, I came to the conclusion that I would not be able to escape tonight. I would wait til morning when I would be released from my cage, and try and find something to pick the lock of this cage with, so I could roam free at night. I would have to suffer tonight, and act in the morning. I attempt to fluff my brick of a pillow, and cover myself with the tissue I was given for a blanket. I would get out of here one way or another, and everyone involve would be punished.

"Wake up, doggy!" I hear the sound of Alois' voice followed by a shower of ice cold water. I awoke with a jolt as the water chilled my body. I soon heat up at the sight of Alois. Just the sight of that twisted smile makes me want to pounce at him through this cage, like a wild animal. "Let's go mutt, we have a lot ahead of us today!" Alois says with a chime in his voice. He throws some clothes on the floor. "Get dressed, now." Alois says as he opened the cage. I should take this time to choke the life out of him, but I will reframe from doing so for the sake of Elizabeth. I get dressed under the scrutinizing eye of Alois, and he directs me upstairs, to begin my torture.

The outfit I was given was a butlers uniform. I suppose this is amusing to Alois as he stares at me with a confident smile. I am currently serving him his breakfast on a silver platter. Alongside Sebastian and the other Trancy servants. Alois must have been in a really good mood, as at his side seated at the table was Claude. He too held a strong smirk as Sebastian refilled his tea cup. Sebastian looked even more miserable than yesterday. The toll of dealing with Claude was definitely getting to him. "Canterbury, Thompson, and Timber please go fetch our other guest for breakfast." Claude said, gesturing to the triplets. They all left simultaneously. Alois knocked over his cup, tea splatter the floor. "Clear dog, you've got sixty seconds." Alois said.

I begin sweeping up the broken cup pieces, and then I began to wipe up the tea. As I'm finishing cleaning the mess, I receive a blow to the head as Alois kicks me. I went down, clutching my head as it throbbed in pain. "I said sixty seconds mutt, you're too slow!" Alois said laughing over me. I could barely hold my anger as I cleaned the mess made by Alois. Then The Triplets returned carrying Elizabeth, they set her down in a chair, her head hung down. She looked awful. Her clothes were tattered and dirty. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying, and perhaps a lack of sleep. Her usually golden silky curls, were now frizzy and a dull yellow. I had never seen Lizzy so distraught and it was all my fault. I could barely contain myself as I watched her in such a broken state.

"Lizzy, how are you this fine morning?" Alois said, teasingly. She shot him an angry look, and continued to sit in silence. She looked at me with a look of pleading, and desperation. She wanted me to help her, but there was nothing I could do. I stared back her with a look that would hopefully read I love you. "Did she eat last night?" Claude asked the Triplets, they all shook their heads no. "You need to eat child, we can't have you dying from starvation." Claude said, indifferently. "No." Elizabeth said, firmly. "I did not ask you a question, girl. You will eat." Claude said more threatening. "No! I want to go home!" Lizzy screamed. "Eat." Claude said, clutching his fists. "Lizzy please eat." I said not wanting Claude to harm her. I couldn't forgive myself if Elizabeth was physically harmed. "Did anyone tell you, you could talk!?" Alois said scorning me.

Elizabeth continued to be defiant. Claude got up from his seat, and my body tensed. He walked over to Elizabeth, and lowered his face to hers and repeated one more time. "Eat." Elizabeth stared Claude in the eye. Claude took hold of Elizabeth's throat, with one hand. He lifted her out of her chair. She gasped for air as his grip became tighter. "Listen, child you will do as you're told!" Claude said. "Stop it! Please stop! Let her go!" I screamed, as I ran to Claude. I pushed and thrashed against Claude in an effort for him to let Elizabeth go. He finally dropped her and we both collapsed to the floor. She cried in my arms, as I tried to console her. "Ciel, I want to go home." she said clutching me in a tight hug, as she sobbed. "It's going to be okay, Lizzy. I promise we are going to leave this place soon. I promise, please just listen to them and do as they say." I say, holding Elizabeth as tightly as I could.

I suddenly had a flash back of everything, Lizzy and I ever did. Back to when we were children, and my mother and father were alive. The times we spent together during Christmas and Easter just being together and happy. Then I think of the time that we are experiencing now. Everything is falling apart and I'm to blame. Elizabeth never wanted anything, but to see me happy and see me smile. Now I will make it my duty to make her happy, and make her smile. "That's enough, take her back to her room, and make sure she eats." Claude said to the triplets. They began to take Elizabeth out of my arms. "No! Ciel!" Lizzy screamed as they dragged her away back to where she was being held. "It's going to be okay, Lizzy! I promise!" I screamed back at Elizabeth. I promise Lizzy. We will be happy…
