I slowly start to regain consciousness in a beautifully decorated bedroom that is foreign to me.

Where am I?

Looking like a lost puppy, I exit the room and wander to my right. This place is so dark...

I finally get to the end of the long corridor, when I start to notice a foul stench coming from the door to my left. Entering the unknown room, the smell becomes stronger. Looking at my surroundings, I notice something dripping from the wardrobe up against the far left wall.

My curiosity always gets the best of me.

I slowly walk over to the mysterious wardrobe when someone grabs me from behind. I scream out of surprise, but he's one step ahead of me and he covers my mouth. I try to slip from his grip, but he just grips me tighter.

"Calm down." A husky whisper comes from the unknown boy. "You don't want to see what's in there," He pauses and tightens his arms around me, it kinda felt like he was trying to comfort me. "trust me. Now, head back to your room. You probably don't want to run in to anyone, so be careful." He slips out of the room before I can see what he looks like.

Damn, what is this place?

The next day, some girl comes to wake me up. "Miss Riley, it's time for you to get dressed. Cole has picked out some clothes for you." Cole..? How does this girl know my name? I slowly get up, and cross the room to the chair where the clothes are sitting.

T-these are my clothes... How did he get these?

I quickly leave the room, and I see the girl waiting outside my door

I quickly leave the room, and I see the girl waiting outside my door. "Follow me. Cole has been waiting for you.

"Um.. who is Cole? Where am I?" I'm sure I sound very desperate at this point.

"Hm? Oh, you must be very confused." She laughs a little. "I thought Ciel would have already talked to you about everything. This is Cole's castle, well he's soon to be King." Castle? King? "You should hurry, he doesn't like to wait."

When we finally get to the main room, I guess it's called, my eyes automatically wander to the beautiful man in front of me. He is probably a foot taller than me. His eyes were a deep brown, and his skin was very pale. He had black hair that fell over his forehead in just the right way. Everything about him was perfect. "Riley, welcome to my castle." That voice... "I hope you made it back to your room okay." He smirks at me and lets out a little chuckle.

"Y-yeah." I avoided his gaze. "W-why am I here..?"

"Riley, darling, don't be so nervous." He took my chin in his palm and made me look at him. "Let's just say, I need your services." That damn grin. "Do you like your room? The last girl decorated it while she was here." The last girl..?

"It's put together really well."

"I'm glad you haven't struggled. You're very cooperative. They usually try to run away, doesn't work very well." He walks toward the other side of the room. "I think you'll last awhile." His eyes flash red as he leads me to his room.

Who exactly is this guy?
