That night was quiet and relaxing. Sebastian had just finished his studying and was now on the couch with a cup of tea in hand.
His favourite show, Once upon a time was on. Sebastian loved Disney and anything fantasy. It sent him into a peaceful world.

He sighed, a blanket on him as he sipped his hot drink, his eyes on the television.
"Sebastian," said a sudden voice. He looked over his shoulder, seeing aunt Red gathering her purse. "I'm going out for the evening. Ciel said he's going to be coming home with Alois who's spending the night. So you're in charge," she told him, grabbing her keys.

Sebastian nodded and smiled ever so slightly. "Okay. Have fun.." He said, watching her.
Red smiled and kissed his forehead. "If you need anything, my phone number is on the counter. Love you," she said, walking over and opening the door.

"Love you too.." Sebastian called back as the door closed.

He sighed and tapped his fingers against the porcelain cup with intricate designs painted onto it. It was so beautiful and calming..
He looked back to his show and sighed, placing the empty cup on the table and snuggling into the blankets.

He yawned as the time ticked by, the evening growing boring. He pursed his lips and went on his phone, sighing softly.
The door opened and he jumped a touch, his vermillion eyes peering over. Ciel and Alois walked in and Sebastian sat up more.

"Hey Seb," Ciel said, smiling slightly to him. Sebastian waved and smiled back. Alois...
He had wanted to speak to the boy about Claude... But how could he come across it without seeming suspicious of something? Despite the fact that he was suspicious of something. He couldn't just say that.

The two boys walked over and Alois grinned brightly, greeting Sebastian.

"Can we join you?" Ciel asked, already sitting on the couch. Sebastian giggled and nodded. "Of course.." He replied. Alois sat beside Sebastian and Ciel on the other side.
Silence filled the air again and Sebastian nervously tapped his fingers against his knee.

"You have classes with Claude, right?" Alois spoke finally, looking at Sebastian. The nerd looked back and nodded.
"Yes.."
"Hm... Is he good in class?" Alois giggled, smirking at the gossip about to unfold. Sebastian chuckled back and shrugged. "I'm.. Not sure, really? I'm sure he does okay.. But I don't talk to him much.." He scratched the back of his neck nervously. Other than when he calls me a faggot...

Alois nodded and sighed. "Well if he slacks off, tell him I'm gonna slap him back into reality," the blond mused, smirking.
Sebastian smiled a touch and nodded slowly. "Sure.." He murmured.

It went silent again. Sebastian sighed. It was now or never...

"Um... How is Claude at home?" He asked, looking at Alois again.
The blond once again tore his gaze from the tv.
"Hm? At home? Oh... Uh... He's fine.." He said confidently, yet a certain unease flashed in those ice blue eyes.

Sebastian nodded, unconvinced. "Good. Do you have both your parents living with you?" He asked again.
Alois furrowed his eyebrows a touch. "Yes. Why?" He replied.
Sebastian shrugged and swallowed. "I'm just curious is all," he muttered, eyeing the boy.

Alois looked away and sighed, watching the tv show again.
Sebastian noticed the boys hesitance to answers.. There was definitely something off about this family. He didn't know how much Alois knew since he was only adopted 3 months ago... But he must know enough if there was anything going on in that house.

Sebastian got up. "I'm tired. I'm going to bed... Wake me if you need anything Ciel. Goodnight Alois," he said, backing away to the staircase.
Ciel smiled. "Night Sebastian."
Alois waved.
Sebastian ran up the stairs and down the hall, into his room and closed the door.

He got out his laptop, sitting on his bed in the dark room. Stella meowed and jumped up with him, purring as she curled herself around Sebastian's feet. Sebastian put in the password to his computer and waited for it to log in.

He sighed, his heart racing a touch. Research... Something Sebastian did best.

Typing quickly, the nerd kept his eyes on the bright screen as he murmured to himself his browse.
He scrolled through the list of sources, his eyebrows slowly furrowing. He clicked on the link of CBC news, pursing his lips. A large paragraph titled 'Cult uncovered' in bold stood at the top of it.

Inhaling a nervous breath, Sebastian began reading. The paragraph only described this cult and how they discovered it.
It had been going on for over 15 years now and was only now discovered... His eyes widened.

Wait...

Children were taken here. Murdered and tortured..
"How awful.." He whispered to himself, his eyes flicking around the screen for more information. All children found had been murdered...

As he scrolled to the bottom of the page, Sebastian saw a link to a video. He tilted his head and pursed his lips, clicking on it after a moment of contemplating.
YouTube loaded up and the video appeared. It was of a CBC news reporter and she stood in front of a large building, speaking.

Sebastian didn't listen to her though. He was reading the title of the video.

Cult discovered, 22 kids murdered, one found alive

Sebastian swallowed, feeling his heart rate seemingly increasing in speed the more he watched.

"This evening on the night of July 6th, 2011, the cult has been found and arrested. Leader and all members being held trial for their monstrous crimes. Luckily, one child of the 23 was found alive, battered and bruised and taken straight to a hospital where he is being kept under strict care. More info on the way," Sebastian paused it, the video showing a blurry image of the child who had been rescued...

Sebastian's mouth was open a touch as his eyes widened, gasping as the boys golden eyes stared back at him through the screen...
