(Y/N) stood in front of the large wooden double doors that had golden, engraved swirls trailing down it that matched the golden door knobs, they gulped as they knew who was on the other side. Alois Trancy. The neko knocked on the door 4 times as per usual and waited for an answer, they were intimidated by Claude who stood behind them, looming making sure they didn't escape.
"Come in" An amused Alois said from inside the room, waiting for the newly bought neko to walk in, the neko in question reached their hand out and shakily grabbed and turned the doorknob , walking in. (Y/N) looked up to see an office similar to Ciel's however it had a red theme unlike the blue theme The blue haired Earl's office had. Before (Y/N) could fully take in the room however they felt someone wrapped their arms around their neck pulling them backwards and into their chest.
"Hello there" the sickeningly sweet voice of Alois in (Y/N)'s ear made the neko wince, "I like your outfit neko" Alois squeezed tighter making (Y/N)'s heart rate sky rocket out of fear and anger, nevertheless they kept composure.
"Hello , Earl Trancy I-" (Y/N) was cut off by Alois as he let go of their neck and walked in front of them.
"You know at first I didn't like you" The Earl smirked "but then I saw your pretty ears and I knew you were just too precious to pass up" Alois reached up softly pet the nekos ears, (Y/N) flinched which caused Alois to giggle evilly.
"That's why I made the deal with Ciel in the first place" he continued to pet (Y/N), the neko didn't seem to notice that they were purring they were way too lost in thought trying to work out what Alois was talking about. The cruel , bi-polar blonde noticed this and grabbed their ears roughly , with a sadistic grin on his face, making (Y/N) shoot their head up to look at the boy.
"As I was saying " Alois continued tightening his grip as he watched the neko whimper and struggle "the deal was if Ciel sold you to me, I would tell him who killed his parents " (Y/N) stopped struggling and kept their head down. They couldn't believe that their mast- ... That the Earl Phantomhive would sell them. A bunch of thoughts raced through (Y/N)'s head, tears started to well up in their eyes. Does this make Alois my new master now? this thought made them shudder, but an idea quickly popped into their head, the neko had seen Earl Trancy's unstable personality first hand, so to survive the living hell they found themselves in , it would be better for them to play along. for now. (Y/N) wiped their eyes and swallowed their pride.
"So does this mean you're my new master?" (Y/N) asked happily and clapped their hands together , looking at the blonde brat. This seemed to catch Claude slightly off guard however Alois' "happier", more tolerable side came back. Thankfully.
"Indeed it does my little neko" Alois replied with enthusiasm, reaching his hand up and starting to pet the neko , (Y/N) unconsciously flinch , still smiling. The reaction (Y/N) gave when being touched made Alois' wide smile waver for a second, shifting into a slight frown.
"Claude!" Alois screeched, even though the butler was only a few feet away standing by the now closed door "put the collar on them right now" he demanded, (Y/N) shivered at the feeling of something cold brush against their neck.
"Y-your hands are so cold" the neko whispered slightly blushing.
"My apologies (Y/N)" Claude replied connecting the clip on the collar around (Y/N)'s neck which was slightly hidden by their dress' collar. The collar was tight but very soft against the nekos soft, (S/C) skin , From what (Y/N) could tell from the way it felt , it was made from silk , silk and a type of metal that dangled from the front of the collar when they touched the metal they discovered it was a bell. Alois was still petting (Y/N) as they purred, much to the Earls sick glee the neko had relaxed into his touch , now that they were focused on the collar.
"(Y/N)" Alois stopped petting them and let his hand drop to (y/n) left arm , the blonde rested his hand on their wrist.
"Yes E-master?" (Y/N) hesitated but kept a smile on their face. Alois smirked, he definitely had something planned, and it wasn't going to turn out well for the neko.
"Considering you're a cat" the grip on the (Y/N)'s wrist tightened slightly "you should be treated as such" before the neko could respond , they were dragged by Alois over to his desk.
Alois pointed at the desk and sternly commanded the confused neko to "sit" (Y/N) pulled themselves onto the desk and faced the door which was parallel to the desk.
(Y/N) kept their head down and their hands on their lap balled into fists. To pass the time they thought about their friends.
They thought about how the Undertaker made them feel so comfortable.
They thought about how Finny could always put (Y/N) in a good mood.
They thought about Bards witty well timed one liners.
They thought about how Mey-rin helpfulness when it came to diverting Alois' attention.
They thought about Grell's impeccable fashion sense
They thought about the nurturing attitude that Madam Red possessed
They thought about Ciel's cold but caring voice.
...
They thought about how they would probably never see them again.
(Y/N)'s smile faded as tears welled in their eyes, they quickly wiped them away and tried to look for the positive. They had Claude and Hannah, they were nice, right? The neko looked up and Claude and shakily smiled at the butler whilst trying not to burst into tears, Claude showed no reaction.
(Y/N) wanted to go home, but they didn't even know what home was any more, was it with the Undertaker? The Phantomhive manor? With Grell and Madam Red? wherever home was it definitely wasn't here.
