An Earl in Night Raven College (Book Prologue)

Prologue: Welcome to the Villains' World

*Ciel's POV*

Darkness...

Darkness was all I could see around me...

It was as if I was floating in thin air.

Then, I was in a carriage being taken somewhere, a place that I don't recognize at all. I began to panic before I blacked out. I reopened my eyes to see a mirror before for me, I felt my legs move on their own as I watched the mirror had different things appear on it. First is was green flames, then normal fire, to ice, then wind. But as I got closer, A hand reached out to me from the mirror, which I grabbed. Then, a bright light came as I shield my eye from the light.

It was dark once more, I waited a few minutes until I heard a growl as I lowered my arm and opened my eye before having a look of horror. Right before me was a giant cat-like creature in front of me. I wasn't able to get a better look as I was pulled to the side by a red-haired boy who looks somewhat like me with some differences. I watch as there were other boys present as they were fighting against the creature with strange looking pens. I watched with tears streaming down my face as the boy that grabbed me rubbed them away.

"I know, I know... Don't worry, we'll bring him back to us. But to do that, we need your help. After all, you know him better than us." The boy said as I nod before I watched two of the boys fighting the creature get thrown back as I ran to confront the creature.

"Wait, ****!" The boy called out but I ignored him

"****, stop! This isn't you, you have to remember who you really are!" I began to reason with the creature before I was thrown into a wall by said creature.

As I began to black out and felt blood dripping down my face, I looked to see the boy running up to me in a panic. He was calling what seems to be my name but for some odd reason, I couldn't hear it. Why can't hear my own name? But sadly I couldn't focus on that question as I passed out from the pain and blood loss from my head wound that I got from hitting the wall. 

I awoke from the sound of rattling as I opened my eyes, only to see darkness all around me once more.

"What's that noise?" I said as I felt around, that was when I realized I was in some sort of crate

I better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me..." I then heard the sound of struggling from the other side.

"Urggh... This lid weighs a ton!"

'So, I was right! But how do I get out of here?' I thought to myself

"Try this on for size! Mya - ha!" Next thing I knew, there were blue flame around the lid of whatever crate I was in.

"F-fire!?" I panicked as the lid was launched off due to the fire blast.

"Now to grab the goods... What?! You ain't supposed to be awake!" After my eye adjusted to light, I looked to see...

"A talking... Weasel?!" The weasel looked at me in anger

"How... How DARE YOU! I am no WEASEL! I'm Grim, sorcerer extraordinaire!" I just looked at it with a deadpan look

"Tch. Whatever. You... Human! Just gimme your uniform, and be quick about it!"

'Uniform?' I looked down to see that I was in strange robes and clothes that I have never seen before.

"'Cause if you don't... You're gonna regret it!" Grim said as he launched fire right next to me, which made me jump out of the... Coffin? Yeah, coffin I was in

"Getting roasted alive by a weasel? What will I dream of next?" I said to myself while rubbing my forehead with a groan before running out of the room

"Well keep dreamin', 'cause I ain't no weasel!" Grim yelled as he chased after me
