A Contract From Hell

His Master, Thank Goodness

His eyes opened and he felt so much better. He cracked his knuckles as he sat himself up on the bed and looked around. His master wasn't home yet. He can't leave the room until he's back... What can he do? He gingerly climbed off the bed and stretched. He wondered how long he'd been asleep for. Couldn't have been that long. Looking around the room he went over to the window sill. He sat down on it and looked outside thinking. He thought about his life - his past, the present. He thought about his family, what would aunt Angeline be doing now? What about Elizabeth? Do they miss him? Would he ever be able to see them again? He sighed. He wouldn't be able to see them again. It's obvious. He never told anyone of the fact he thought about his family often. He leant on his hand as he looked out of the window.

A little while later and the clashing of the metal gate awoke the little boy from his day dream state. He knelt up on the window sill and looked out. It was his master! He was with three people... Odd he'd never seen those before... Who are they? He quickly looked them up and down a thousand situations running through his head. He was selling him? They were here to take him away? He bit his lip and looked out again. Wait no! What if they catch him watching. He shook his head and went and sat on the floor. Think Ciel. Think. Okay. There were three. A woman and two men. He heard the door open and close and the sounds of footsteps. What were they wearing! He couldn't tell. Damn. Oh no. Oh no. They're getting close. What can he do? He started to panic breathing heavily. He started to shake and his legs gave way from under him. He breathed in and out trying to control himself but the fear of being taken away took over and he began to cry.

The footsteps grew closer and Ciel didn't know what to do he was still crying and shaking. He ran to the bed and lay like he was before he woke up. He turned away from the door listening. "The guest rooms are located all along this floor. I will show you my room and you can meet my servant Ciel" he heard Sebastian explain. He bit his lip and tried to be quiet. "He recently went through an operation and was incredibly close to death. We managed to save him however. Thank goodness. Ah here we are" with a quick charm the room was unlocked and the four people stepped in. Sebastian glanced down at Ciel who was shaking ever so slightly looking away. "Ciel. I would like to introduce you to some people who have come to help you with work in the house." The physical change in Ciel's body was heavily noticeable as his breathing regulated the shaking stopped. He turned to his side then shot up onto his feet bowing to his master then the others. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance miss, sirs my name is Ciel" he looked down.
"Pleasure to meet you, yes it is, my names Mey Rin" the red headed women, with huge glasses, told him smiling holding out her hand. He bowed to her again and shook her hand. The other two stepped forward. "The names Bardroy but ya can call me Bard" the taller man who was smoking a cigarette looked down at him. Ciel bit his lip. He was very scary. Bowing the little boy looked down not wanting to look him in the eye. The second boy who looked not too older then Ciel smiled and went up to Ciel. "Hello my name is Finnian but you can call me Finny if you want" he held out his hand. Ciel bowed for a fifth time and shook his hand.
"No need to bow for me I'm a servant like you" Finnian smiled.
"Same for us too" the others said. He smiled back.
"If that's what you wish" he nodded not looking up to his master still a little upset, he felt like he'd replaced him.
"Ciel look at me" Sebastian said in a semi strict tone, the little servant straightened up and looked up at him.
"Y-yes master?" He asked biting his lip at his stutter. He hadn't stuttered in a long time.
"I'm not replacing you Ciel. These three are servants I have hired to help you. You have a lot of responsibility and you are only young."
"You mean I'm not leaving? You're not sending me away?" He asked his eyes sparkling happily.
"No Ciel I could never get rid of you. We have a contract remember" Sebastian looked at his hand. Ciel nodded happily and brightly.
"Of course we do. Thank goodness"
