An Earl in Night Raven College (Book Prologue)

Prologue: Part 2

*Ciel's POV*

After a while of walking, we taking a peek through the doors to see it was the room filled with floating coffins and a mirror. The room was decorated strings of pearls and gem like ornaments. The windows had a dark purple curtains tied by ribbons to reveal how the frames were beautifully decorated. There were candles all around, some on stands and others in holders. I looked to see that there others present, most likely the new students that Crowley was talking about. I also saw that there were a few boys in the front that weren't with the rest of the student body talking

"We're done with orientation and dorm assignments?" Red Headed boy asked to the others that were standing next to him, which nodded at him

"All right, new students-let me be clear. At Heartslabyul House, I am the law. Break the rules, and it's off with your head!" For some odd reason, I wanted to either laugh, narrow my eye, or slap him for his words but I don't know why?

"*Yawn* Well, that ceremony was as boring as ever. I'm going back to the dorm. If you're in Savanaclaw House, follow me." The boy with lion ears said as he wanted to be somewhere else at the moment than be here

'Either he didn't get any sleep or he's lazy.' I thought to myself with a sweatdrop.

"New students! Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your achievement. As dorm leader of Octavinelle House, I am honored to have the opportunity to support you in what I hope will be a fulfilling campus experience." Boy with glasses said

"Hey, does anyone know where the headmage went? He disappeared midway through the ceremony..." The handsome boy said as I heard a sigh from

'What is that weird rectangle thing?' I tilt my head in confusion.

"Some headmage he is." The voice from that thing said

"Maybe he had a tummyache?" The boy with red eyes suggested

'If only he knew..." I said as I had an awkward smile on my face as Crowley's eye twitched, next thing I knew it, he threw the doors open.

"I most certainly did not!" Crowley said as he motioned for me to follow him, which I did

"Ah, speak of the devil." Red headed boy said

"If you must know, I was searching for the new student who'd failed to show for orientation." He said with a glare before looking at me with a soften look and smile

"You are the only one who has yet to be assigned a dorm. Step up to the Dark Mirror, and be quick about it. I'll watch your weasel." I nod as he made sure his grip on the whip was tight, so Grim won't run off

"Grrrrr!" Grim growled as I sigh before looking at the Dark Mirror

'Well, here goes nothing... Even though I know for a fact I don't belong here...' I thought as I nervously made my way towards the Dark Mirror, once I was in front of it a face appeared.

"State your name." The Dark Mirror asked as I began to think

'What is my name?!' I thought in a panic before the voice of a young girl was heard in my head

"Ciel!~ It's so great to see you again!"

'Ciel? Is that my name? Well, it's the only name I know so might as well go with.' I thought before speaking.

"I'm Ciel..." I said while trying to hide my uncertainty from the Mirror

"Ciel... The nature of your soul is............... Unclear to me." I tilt my head in confusion

'Unclear? Could it be because I can't remember anything besides a few things and my name?' I thought to myself while not noticing everyone's confused and surprised looks.
