A Contract From Hell

His Master, Mistakes

Just his luck really I guess. Out of all of the places to be in this mansion and the boy ended up crashing straight into the twins. They were leaving the room so they could say goodbye to their younger siblings when a small being ran straight into the back of the them. It couldn't have been Ciel he had more sense than that. They turned around to see a small, feminine creature hunched over on the floor. The twins exchanged a glance and spoke down to the bundle. "Are you okay?"
"I... I'm sorry" was all they could muster up the courage to say.
"Just watch where you're going next time. It's rude to bump into people" they spoke softly and calmly as to not frighten the child.
"I'm really sorry." Freckles had no idea that Sebastian's older siblings were also here, he had no idea who these strangers were.
"You must be Freckles I'm guessing" Enkidu knelt in front of this child who shook slightly. Oh god. These people were here to take him away. No. No. That's not fair.
"Please don't take me away. I'll do anything" The boy cried kneeling up. He began to take off his shirt. "Please just don't take me away." Sebastian heard the commotion and stepped outside.
"What's going on?" He asked. Freckles' eyes shot up and he pleaded with his master. He had scarring all around the top half of his body and bandages wrapped around his chest.
"Don't let them take me away. Please. I'll be good. I'll do anything that you wish me to do."
Sebastian saw the pain and fear in the child's eyes and that came as a real shock. Freckles seemed so brave. He understood now. More than before.
"Come with me in here. Let me explain something" Sebastian held his hand out for the child who stood up shaking and followed him inside the room. The twins knew exactly what was wrong with the boy. They stepped inside too.

Sebastian talked kindly to the boy as he helped to button up his shirt. He was shaking too much to do it himself. "These two gentlemen are my older brothers. They would never ever harm you. If anything if you ever end up sick or injured they can help you. You need to look where you are going and don't run in the house. You already know that don't you." The boy nodded. "Good. Now. About the other thing. No one will ever touch you in that way again. No one will make you do anything like that ever again. You are safe in this mansion and will forever be." The boy had calmed down a lot.
"Yes master"
"Now apologise to them for running into them and introduce yourself properly" Sebastian sat down. Freckles turned to the twins. He breathed in heavily and bowed.
"I'm really sorry my lords for running into you. I wasn't looking where I was going and I should have been. My name is Freckles." The twins smiled at the boy.
"It's nice to meet you Freckles."
"Your name is fitting to say the least" Gilga examines the boys face that was dotted with little brown spots. His eyebrow raised a little and he turned to Sebastian who told the boy.
"I'm sure Ciel is looking for you Freckles. Go and find him and introduce yourself to my younger siblings."
"Yes my lord" the boy bowed and ran to the door before stopping himself and walking out. The twins started to laugh and Sebastian looked at them.
"You do get yourself into the most ridiculous of situations with the servants you choose don't you little brother" Enkidu laughed.
"It's like you're making trouble for yourself on purpose" Gilga added. Sebastian shook his head smiling.
"Now tell me dear brother. What in the hell happened to that boys face."

Ciel was sat in the garden with the nobles. Lilitu was reading and Murmur was messing around with his violin trying to figure out a piece of music he'd been learning. Ciel was just sat enjoying this relaxing time with his friends. Since Freckles had ran away Murmur decided it would be fun to sit outside. They had run back to the bedroom and grabbed a few things before heading outside. Ciel had placed an old blanket down on the floor and was sat leaning against a tree. He often saw Finny leaning on the exact same tree.

Freckles went down to the kitchen and saw them in the garden. He took a deep breath. Plucking up the courage to do so, he made his way into the garden towards Ciel and the nobles. It was strange to him how relaxed Ciel actually was. Ciel noticed his friend and jumped up excitedly. "Freckles. Are you okay? Does your head hurt?"
"My head? Oh right. No it doesn't. I don't even feel it" he smiled awkwardly. "I've been sent by the master to introduce myself to the lord and lady" Freckles explained.
"Come then" Ciel smiled. He walked towards the two children who looked at him curiously. "My lord, my lady. I apologise for before. I didn't mean to swear. I'm sorry. Forgive me please." The two smiled sweetly and forgave him.
"My name is Freckles. I'm the newest servant. It's an honour to meet you both" he bowed.
"I am Murmur and this is my sister Lilitu. It is nice to meet you too."
