·Trapped In Darkness·CH 4

§·Ciel's Pov·§

I ran through the long, seemingly unending and narrow halls, Running as fast as I could from the incoming darkness behind me. It seemed like; it was unending. At every twist and turn I took. It followed me. I felt a knot in my stomach. Suddenly, I found myself in a cage. That same cage I had been in many years ago.. When my parents were killed. I was scared. I called Sebastian's name but he wasn't there. He didn't come. I said a familiar face look over me. He had pitch black eyes, almost soulless. I reached my hand out the cage, begging for help. The man took out a knife and cut my hand off. Blood splattered everywhere. It was indeed a terrible mess. I started screaming from the pain.

I woke up to Sebastian shaking me awake; asking me if I was okay. I slapped his hand away from me. He had a slight shocked expression on his face and backed away.

"Just what were you doing?!" I said yelling at him.

"Forgive me, Young Master. I was just seeing if you were alright. You were screaming in your sleep." He said while bowing down.

I was screaming in my sleep? I looked at him with a shocked face, but quickly snapped out of it.

"Just go and make me my tea." I responded a bit angry that he had called me out like that.

"Yes Young Lord." He said as he walked out the room off; to make the tea.

§·Sebatian's Pov·§

My young master had been screaming in his sleep this morning. He has had nightmares before.. I can't recall a time he was screaming in his sleep. I was sincerely worried about him. I went off to the kitchen to start the morning tea as usual. But instead I saw (Y/N) there, making the tea and putting it on the cart.

"What are you doing here, (Y/N)?" I asked quite confused. Could she actually be taking her duties seriously, to protect her family?

"I was making tea for the young master. Since I am the maid for this estate now." She said with a smile on her face.

"Well I'm glad you're taking your duties seriously! But I don't think my master enjoys poisoned tea." I said with a smirk on my face.

When I first walked in there. I could smell a faint whiff of poison. I could tell it was very lethal, but the distinguished rotten rose smell. I saw her smile disappear on her face as I walked close to her.

"Remember this." My eyes glowed a dark red and I stared directly into her eyes. " If you ever try anything like this again... We will kill off your family." I said as I started to make more tea and put the leaves in there.

"One.By.One. Do I make myself clear?" I said smirking.

She nodded and exited the kitchen. Off to do her cleaning duties I suppose.

§·Your Pov·§

I had tried to poison the earl, but yet the butler, Sebastian, could smell the poison. Apparently I'm on thin ice. If I make one wrong move. My family. My whole life. Will be gone. They might even claim that me and my family were the ones who killed many people! Which would be true. But the most important thing is that my family doesn't get killed, or gets our reputation damaged. If that were to happen... the family business would be ruined. By also if the family is targeted one by one. Our rivals could be blamed for murder that they didn't do. Sentenced to jail for a long time. I do admit we killed a lot of people. But none of them were innocent. As Lady of the (L/N) manor, It's my job to protect my family. But I will escape this manor. I have too.

I walked to the supply room to get the cleaning supplies. Since obviously I'll be here for a while, I might as well pretend to be loyal; while i come up with a plan to escape. I heard the door close and lock while I was getting the duster that was up high.

"Hey! Let me out!!!" I said as I banged on the door.

It was dark in the closet. Sadly I hated the dark. I remember as a kid, My parents would sometimes lock me in the dark for hours at a time. They told me "It would build character." Or "It's part of training." Sometimes while in the dark I would be attacked and have to protect myself. I guess so, I wouldn't rely too much on my eyes. Or so I can be trained to defend myself even in the dark. But even though the training helped. It really hurt me. That my parents didn't show any love or affection when I got hurt. To be honest, I don't even know why I'm protecting my family. They never did anything good for me. Maybe because without the abuse, or without them.. I have nothing.

§·Ciel's Pov·§

I could hear weeping on the other side of the door. For an assassin she is very foolish. She should be able to know her surroundings, and be alert at all times. Never let your guard down. After I sent Sebastian to go fetch my tea, I came down here to see her going into the closet. Since she is going to be here for a bit. I might as well have a little fun with her. (Not the dirty kind, you little pervs, Well not yet-) I chuckled softly, then walked away back to my room. On my way to my room i saw Mey-Rin walking to clean the manor, she curtseyed to me and kept on walking.

§·Mey-Rin's Pov·§

I walked off to the supply room, to get the broom to clean plates I had spilled in the kitchen. As I got closer, I heard yelling from inside the room. I ran to the door and opened the door to see a girl with beautiful (H/L) (H/C) hair, with a maid uniform on. I didn't recognize her to be honest.

"Uhhh- Are you okay dearie?" I said a bit confused.

"Y-yeah..." She replied a bit shaky.

"Okay good. Just one question." I said,

"Yeah?" she said.

"WHO ARE YOU? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?"
