Black Butler: Book Of Lost

Chapter 3

The young earl sighed, gazing out the window behind him. He was perplexed, unable to discern if his dreams were real or fake. Maybe Sebastian making him a demon had been a mistake? Ciel had many questions he couldn't answer at the moment.

Just as Ciel was about to head to the kitchen to make some food, a few of his servants entered the study with a cart of food. "How did you manage to bring that upstairs?" Ciel asked, astonished.

"It was all Finnian, master," Bardroy replied as Finnian removed the lids, revealing a steak with coleslaw and a side of chocolate cake. For his drink, there was Earl Grey tea.

The next day arrived as Ciel slept in his room. A familiar figure appeared outside the manor. Finnian went outside and saw the person. "Sebastian?" he asked.

"Ah, Finnian. How is the Earl doing?" Sebastian inquired.

"He is asleep at the moment. Is everything okay?" Finnian asked.

"There is something much more dangerous out there that is looking for Ciel. He needs my help," Sebastian replied.

Sebastian walked past Finnian and made his way to Ciel's room, waking him up. Ciel opened his eyes and sat up. "Sebastian?" he asked.

"Yes, it is me. I am here to help you. A really dangerous situation is imminent, and I am here to assist you," Sebastian said.

Ciel felt a mix of confusion and anxiety. Could his nightmares be linked to this? "What kind of danger? Is it connected to the nightmares I've been having?"

Sebastian moved closer. "What kind of nightmares are you having?"

"There's this figure covered in blood, saying I don't have much time and that I can't run forever," Ciel explained.

Sebastian paused before replying. "I believe so. There is a dangerous demon coming for you. Since you just became a demon, you can't stop him by yourself."

Ciel sighed, got out of bed, and approached Sebastian. "What do we do first?"

"First, you get dressed. Secondly—" As Sebastian spoke, a loud noise of shattering glass interrupted them. They ran downstairs to find the front window broken and all the servants murdered with glass in their chests.

"Damn it. Who the hell did this?" Ciel demanded.

Sebastian laughed. "Don't forget, you can run but you can't hide, demon boy. You will be mine soon."

Ciel screamed, sitting up in his bed. It felt like a nightmare within a nightmare. He was so confused, unable to tell if he was still dreaming. Perhaps these nightmares were trying to tell him something. Shaking his head slightly, he looked out the window, contemplating the outside world.
