  "Go now, get the girl..." A boys voice whispered. "Yes, your highness..." A deeper male voice responded. The older man threw a golden knife at the window, making it open without making much noise. With one great leap, he landed in the room I slept in. He quietly strode over and gently scooped me up off the bed. He instantly hurried off to the window, careful not to wake me. The man dropped from the high window and landed softly on the ground. "Here she is, your highness." He said. "Perfect... Now let's go..." The boy ordered, running off. "Yes, your highness..." The man said as he bolted after the boy.

  My first day here... And I've already been kidnapped...

  My eyes fluttered, trying to open from being sealed shut for the long period of time. I finally opened my eyes to see I was in a dusky room, only a small window near the ceiling allowed the slightest amount of light to enter. I went to sit up on the hard surface, but I was held down. I lifted my head, viewing what had me pinned down. "Ropes?" I whispered under my breath silently. I sighed and laid my head back down. I turned my head and looked around the dim space. "So you're finally awake." A childish voice said, making me jump then wince as the ropes rubbed against my skin. I was only wearing a silk nightgown. "Who are you?" I asked bluntly, looking up at the ceiling again. The boy walked over, the heels on his boots clicked slightly on the floor as he walked closer. I showed no fear at the moment. The boy slowly traced his fingertips along my jawline. "You'll know in due time." He smirked. I turned my head to try and get a good look at this boy. He stood in the rays, given from the sun, that had snuck through the curtain covering the window. He had short, blonde hair, identical to the color of mine. He had Piercing blue eyes, which were a lighter blue than mine. I couldn't see what he was wearing, but I honestly didn't care, as long as nothing bad is going to happen.

  "I don't know why you're tied up though... I guess it must have been Claude." He shrugged. The boy turned on his heel and walked off. He quietly picked up a small knife and walked back. Ok... Now's the time to be scared. I stiffened as he came closer. The boy leaned over with the knife in his hand. I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for what's to come. Me being stabbed. I raised an eyebrow with my eyes closed. Slowly opening one eye, I saw the boy slicing the ropes, letting me free. After a moment, I slowly sat up, rubbing my wrists. "So... Who's this 'Claude' guy?" I asked out of curiosity. The boy grinned as he tossed the knife to the other side of the room. "Claude, is my butler." He explained, holding a hand out to help me up. I hesitantly took his hand, swinging my legs over the edge and standing up. "I'll get Hannah to find you something to wear." He said, turning on his heel and exiting the room quickly. I nodded and brushed myself off.

  Wait a minute... How'd I even get here? Last I checked... I was in my room at the Phantomhive manor... Maybe I was sleep walking and came down here instead? But if I did, Lydia would've came and bought me back. Something doesn't feel right. Does Ciel have visitors at his manor aside from me? I shook the thought away and shrugged. I quietly snuck over to the door, walking lightly on my feet. I slowly slid out of the room, The hall was given a warm glow from the candles. I smiled as I trailed down the halls, tracing me fingers along the details on the walls. As I turned my head back to face the way I was walking, I collided with someone much taller than me. I stumbled back slightly. The figure I bumped into turned around and pushed his glasses up. I opened my eyes, looking up at the figure. He looked almost identical to Sebastian, though I know he wasn't because this man has golden eyes and glasses. His jet black hair was styled differently, and I think this man is taller than Sebastian. "Oh... So you've escaped have you...?" The tall man spoke with a deep voice. what does he mean by 'Escaped'? I was freed by the blonde haired boy... "What do you mean by that? I didn't escape... The blonde haired boy let me go.." I said, a confused look on my face. "So my master let you go, did he?" He said slowly. His master? That means... This is his butler, Claude.

  "I'm sorry, but what are you talking about...?" I asked, hoping for some answers. The tall butler stood still and stayed unresponsive. I crossed my arms and locked my eyes on his. I felt goose bumps crawl up my arms and legs as a breeze flew by, in which, making me shiver. Claude let out a silent huff. "Cold are we? I believe your waiting for Hannah to bring you a frock to wear, hmm?" He said as he took a couple steps towards me. I raised an eyebrow slightly, taking a couple steps backwards. "Yes...?" I said slowly, trying to figure out what Claude was going to do. The butler took a larger step and stood directly in front of me. I gulped slightly as my back his the wall. Claude lashed his hands out and slammed them on each side of my head, glowing fuchsia irises and slitted pupils appears behind his rectangular frames. Wait... He's a demon too?! Claude leaned down to my ear. "It'll hurt more the more you move..." He whispered. "Trust me...." He exhaled.
