The clock ticked chimed 12 . You couldn't sleep. Something was off, you could just feel it in the air. Not being able to take the suspense anymore, you got out of your bed, shivering as your feet hit the floor. It was cold. You tiptoed over to your door, cracking it open. You slipped out of your room, and started to wander the halls, the ominous feeling growing stronger. You walked past a door that was slightly ajar, you didn't think much of it. You felt a cold hand cover your mouth, another pulling you inside the room. Startled, you turned to see Ciel, a finger on his lip signaling you to be quiet. He was also wearing a night gown, and his eyepatch was gone, the sign of his contract with Sebastian clearly visible. You didn't say anything, figuring out that your instinct was correct. Something was obviously wrong. Ciel gestured for you to follow him, and you obliged , curious to know what was happening and a little frightened. He lead you to a closet in the back of the spare bedroom. You opened it as slowly as possible, trying to not make any sound. He pointed inside the closet, telling you to get you. As you did so, he followed, carefully closing the door behind him. It was cramped , and you were pressed up against him. You blushed furiously at how close you were to him, and you were thankful that it was pitch black so he couldn't see you. You felt him shift, then lean in and whisper in your ear, so quietly it was almost inaudible.

"Stay silent. Don't move much. I'll explain later. Sebastian is handling this." His breath was cold, making you shiver. Minutes ticked by, the feeling of dread growing stronger inside you, turning into fear. Ciel must have felt it to, because you felt him shift uncomfortably. What must've been an how passed, more and more fear building up inside you. Ciel was shivering. He had already been cold, the closet was freezing, and the dread didn't help. You heard soft footsteps approaching . They seemed to be far off, but they were getting closer, the fear building up more. You couldn't help but grip Ciel's hand, it felt like your last moments existing, the darkness seeming to swallow everything up. Ciel squeezed your hand tightly, you could feel his cold sweat. The footsteps grew closer and closer, the terror escalated to the point where even if you wanted to scream, you wouldn't be able to. The footsteps stopped right outside the closet. A moment of dead silence passed, before a gunshot broke it all, startling you and Ciel so badly that you both grabbed each other, hugging for the fear and loneliness seemed to be overtaking. Ciel was badly shaking in your arms, you were far gone beyond being able to even think anything over than fear, hyperventilating because you could barely breath. Screams and more gunshots could be heard, for what could've been a couple of minutes or hours. Bone chilling sounds could be heard just outside the closet. You squeezed your eyes shut, glad that at least Ciel was right there. You were tired, you felt Ciels hand stroke your hair, obviously trying to comfort you, but he was shaking terribly himself. You realized both of you needed to be there for each other so that you don't break. You hugged him closer, stroking his hair as well. The terrible noises quieted down, the fear slowly creeping away. Tired , you fell asleep, unable to stay awake anymore.
