~Naomi Phantomhive
The flames were everywhere around me. It just didn't seem possible. A half an hour ago, I was being put to bed after Nii-san's birthday dinner was over. Mamma said she was going to have him sleep with her tonight and read him a lot of stories. I want to be in bed with Mamma. I actually really want mother right now.
"Naomi! Mother! Father!" A voice was echoing down the halls. Footsteps were coming down faster than a normal walking pace. I listened for the voice again, trying to find some familiarity of the voice, "Naomi, where are you?" It was Nii-san. He was running down the halls looking for me.
"Ciel! I'm in here! I'm inside my room!" Smoke filled my lungs, as I went down to the ground and found my bunny Father gave me on my birthday. My music box fell off my dresser and started playing.
"Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
Magaru,
Magaru,
Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
My fair lady."
Pictures were falling off the walls and the giant mirror in my room shattered. Ciel was pounding on the door, calling to me making sure I was ok. I started coughing severely. The window shattered, having wind blow in making the fire spread even more.
"Kin to gin de tsukure,
Tsukure,
Tsukure,
Kin to gin de tsukure,
My Fair Lady.
Kin to gin ja nusumareru,
Nusumareru,
Nusumareru.
Kin to gin ja nusumareru,
My Fair Lady."
The bed sheets and tapestries were turning into ash. I started calling Ciel's name over and over. He started slamming into the door. It still wouldn't budge. I started silently crying. The music box was sound tinnier and higher pitch. Also the music was going faster as well.
"Rou to ishi de tsukure,
Tsukure,
Tsukure.
Rou to ishi de tsukure,
My Fair Lady.
Rou to ishi de kuchihateru,
Kuchihateru,
Kuchihateru,
Rou to ishi de kuchihateru,
My Fair Lady.
Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
Magaru,
Magaru,
Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
My Fair Lady!
I saw the door start being pushed open. 'He hasn't stopped trying yet.' I thought, watching the door budge bit by bit. It finally fell off its hinges, collapsing to the ground beneath it. Ciel was panting, and his shoulder was bruised, but I saw how he smiled, seeing that I was ok. I ran to him, pressing my face into his chest. He grabbed my hand and started pulling me out of the mansion, out of the smoke and flames. The home we knew was burning down in flames. 'London Bridge is falling down.' I thought
Ciel and I kept running until I tripped on a root sticking out of the ground. Ciel kneeled beside me, looking at the wound, seeing if it was serious or not. I looked into his eyes, really looking for the first time, and seeing a mix of emotions inside. Sadness, anger, confusions and worry were all the ones that I could really see.
A carriage was coming down the path at full speed. Ciel picked me up and we hid in a bush until they would pass. The horses slid and stopped harshly, watching a man getting out and looking at the scene a couple miles away from him. He was watching in both amazement and sadness. It made Ciel have a disgusted look on his face. The man looked over at the bush we were hiding in and walked over towards it. Ciel shifted slightly to be in front of me, to protect me from what he thought of as a threat.
"So, you two aren't dead after all," the man said as he looked through the bush, eyeing both of us. Ciel hissed, glaring at the man who was reaching toward us. He grabbed Ciel first, throwing him harshly into the carriage, making it shake. He picked me up and placed me delicately into the seat where I sat right next to my brother, who was in a little pain.
"Now don't try anything, my little Phantomhives, I really don't want to see you in any pain," The man grinned as he went to go touch a piece of Ciel's hair. I slapped away his hand, watching him look at me in shock.
"You don't touch a noble man with such ease you waste of space," I spat at him, watching a wicked smile slither across his face. Ciel gave him an ultimate glare, and then gripped his shoulder tight. I looked down at him, worried that his shoulder was seriously injured.
The cart came to a whip lashing haut as men with white masks showed up at the carriage doors. Ciel was pulled out first then along came me. I was struggling, trying to get closer to Ciel who was all but unconscious. I started screaming. But all they would do is laugh, high and low pitches echoing off the surroundings. I looked at Ciel who turned up and looked at me. He had a sad smile on his face, and mouthed to me, "Everything will be ok." I really do hope he was right.
He was wrong. I was shoved into a cage, separated from Ciel. I saw him being chained on his hands and knees. A whip came out, and started lashing out on his body. Blood was coming out every inch that was hit. I was crying for him, telling them to stop. There was a woman who looked at me and smiled. She had brown hair and fierce green eyes. Her smile was like a cat, happy that her prey was right in her in her hands. She raised for them to stop, which they atomatically did. They went on one knee and bowed down to her, as though she was their queen.
"Take the younger Phantomhive out. I want to hear her scream. She wants her brother to be taken care of, so be it. Make sure he watches everything that happens to her," The woman's smile never left her face as she turned around and walked out of the room.
Ciel looked up wide eyed and stared at me, "Don't you dare touch my sister. I swear if you touch her I'll kill you! Do you-" They slammed him into a cage farthest away from me.
"C-Ciel?" I look frantically around as they start opening the cage. They pulled me out of the cage by leg, dragging me across the ground covered in blood and glass. I saw Ciel trying to open the cage, trying to get to me, "Why do you want us?" I asked them as they dragged me to a wall with chains. A whip came out along with pokers and hot coals. I started silently crying, watching in horror as I realized they were going to do a lot worse to me then what they did to Ciel. I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain.
"I want to be the one who causes her pain," A voice came out from the shadows. Sure enough, it was the woman with green eyes who said this. She yanked the whip from the man's hand and started making marks across my body. I kept jerking as she started laughing insanely.
"Get rid of the inpure," She stated, lashing my body over and over again, "Get rid of the unclean," Blood was trickling down my wounds, "God lets you feel pain. Think of it as a blessing!" She traced the hot poker across my wounds, making the skin start smoking and peeling off the scab that was starting to form. "When you come back to your next life, which would be a blessing, come back as a clean child!" She yelled as it echoed off the brick walls.
As the chains finally gave out, I fell onto the ground, bleeding and broken. The woman picked me up into her arms and started carrying me across the room. As she was doing so she started singing,
"Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
Magaru,
Magaru,
Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
My fair lady."
As I opened my eyes, the woman had a small smile on her face. She looked down at me and gave a half-hearted smile as she put me on a cold, flat surface. I looked at her confused, as she snapped her fingers, making a man run off into another room. She continued, although she was much quieter than before, so it was hard to listen.
"Kin to gin de tsukure,
Tsukure,
Tsukure,
Kin to gin de tsukure,
My Fair Lady.
Kin to gin ja nusumareru,
Nusumareru,
Nusumareru.
Kin to gin ja nusumareru,
My Fair Lady."
The man came back pushing a silver cart. The wheels were squeaking as they were being rolled over here. There were knives and needles laying on a white cloth, which were glowing in the dim candlelight. The woman gave a small smirk as she grabbed one of the knives and started cleaning it. Once she was satisfied, she tested it on her palm, which was instantly drew blood. It started dripping onto the floor, which caused a bigger smile to come across her face, "Hold the child down," She said, and the men all came around, holding my wrists and ankles. I started screaming. She came over with the knife still in her hands. The cold blade was tracing across my skin.
"Rou to ishi de tsukure,
Tsukure,
Tsukure.
Rou to ishi de tsukure,
My Fair Lady.
Rou to ishi de kuchihateru,
Kuchihateru,
Kuchihateru,
Rou to ishi de kuchihateru,
My Fair Lady."
The smile as cruel as the devil came across her face, "Come back as a new being after your sins are burned in the sins of Hell!" With that, she plunged the knife into my stomach, causing a great pain to enter my whole body. I screamed bloody murder as it shattered through the silence.
"Ciel! Make them stop! Ciel save me! Make them stop please! Nii-san!" I screamed over and over, thrashing my body only making the blade cut deeper. I looked over at Ciel who was in shock and who was truly frightened. His body was shaking, and he started crying. He was bleeding, and he was bruised. I knew then that he was as traumatized as me.
Then as I looked back over, they put a mark right above the stab wound. The mark was being burned into my skin. I started thrashing even more, and all the woman did was smile. She continued singing, as my screams still echoed through the room.
"Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
Magaru,
Magaru,
Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
My Fair Lady!"
I finally collapsed on the side of the cold stone. I lied there, bleeding and abused. My body was going numb and my throat was sore. I could see around the stone and see Ciel trying to stretch his arm out towards me. I tried my best, but there was no possible way I would reach.
They pulled him out of the cage and drug me back into one. I layed there, watching with little energy in my body as they did the same to him as they did to me. I tried to reach out towards him, as he was calling my name and asking for the same things I did. But we both knew that we couldn't save each other. With Ciel panting on the ground, he sat up and took in a deep breath, grabbing his injured side.
"Sebastian, this is an order! Kill these people! I want them all dead! I want them all to suffer!" All the people laughed at Ciel as they through him back in the cage with me. Suddenly, the lights all went out. Ciel pulled me into his arms and covered my ears. But I could still hear all of them. There were blood curtling screams and bones being smashed and broken. I looked over and saw a tall man wearing black and having glowing red eyes lean towards our cage.
"Young master, young mistress, it is time to leave," he said, opening up the cage and holding his hands out to us. Ciel and I both grabbed them as he picked us up and started heading out of the place. I looked behind us and saw dead bodies lying on the ground, "Young mistress, please do not look at the scene behind you, it is quite atrocious," He said, making my head spin back around.
"Who are you?" I asked looking at the man. There was a smirk on his face as he chuckled softly.
"My name is Sebastian Michaelis, and from today on, I am your butler, at both you and your brother's need," He smiled as he started walking more quickly outside.
"Burn it," a whisper caught in the wind. I looked down at Ciel, who was clutching his fists. His teeth were grinding against each other and his eyes were tightly shut, "Don't ignore me Sebastian. This is an order, burn down everything. Make it turn to ash. I want to make sure no one is found. Do you understand? Burn it down!" Ciel's eyes were open wide and he was breathing heavily. He looked at Sebastian, waiting for his reply.
Sebastian sighed and put u down on the grass, "Yes, my lord," He started walking away, "Please stay here, it will only take a moment," He walked inside the manor. Only moments later it was all in flames, and Sebastian walked out the door. Picking us up, he carried us to the lot of our old home. Very few things were left. A few parts of the wall, with the windows attached some of the trees and grass. Everything else was in ash.
"The new manor will be built shortly, my lord. For now, I will like for you two to stay in the town house in London," He smiled at us, waiting for some type of reply from Ciel. Ciel nodded, and that's when Sebastian looked over at me, "Will that be fine, young mistress?" I looked at him suspiciously, but nodded. He smiled and went to make preparations for a travels.
"Ciel, how did Sebastian find us?" I looked over at Ciel and gasped. In his right eyes was a pentagram with old written language on it. I moved his hair slightly, where he shook me off and held my hand, "Ciel, is Sebastian a…devil?" I looked at him, waiting for some type of answer, all he did was shake his head no, and I sighed in relief.
"You asked if he is the devil, I said no. He isn't human though, Naomi. He is a demon. I contracted with him," He lifted up his hair to show me the pentagram once more, "He does whatever I say to do, and he will not fail. He is going to help us put all of those people who put our family's name into shame, and make them bow down on their knees. As the price, I gave him my soul, Naomi." He looked at me, as though I was going to break down.
"How are you going about this Ciel? There must be some type of plan you have in your head. You can't wing this sort of thing."
"It's set up like a chess game. I am the king, and you are my queen. Sebastian is the knight who never dies. We will have our bishops, and we will have our rooks. Our pawns are nothing but decoys. Before my last breath I will see everyone's blood that ruined the Phantomhive's name. There will be no mercy on their souls."
I looked at Ciel, seeing the hatred that was tearing him apart inside. I knew that the brother I once had was burned up into flames. This brother of mine is of pure hatred and revenge. Ciel Phantomhive, the next Earl, no, Earl Ciel Phantomhive, head of the Phantomhive family. The president of the Futom Toy Company, and soon to be the king of the chess board.
Smoke still rose up to the stars in the sky. I watched it, knowing that sooner or later, we were heading up there to. A owl hooted off in the far distance, but it seemed as though it was right next to us, "There is no life to revenge and hatred. The road will eventually end-"
"And when that road ends, the demon gets my soul. There are only two types of people in this world, the ones who steal and the ones who are stolen from. Today we were stolen from, Naomi, and I promise you that will never happen again."
Hearing his words, I knew that Ciel was on the verge of insanity. As the carriage was pulling up, Sebastian was helping us inside, "Before we enter the town house, I'm having a doctor look at those wounds, especially you knife wound, young mistress. It may be infected, due to the filthiness of the room you two were in," I glance down, noticing that the wounds were scabbing and there was dirt in a lot of them, "Young master's shoulder is most likely dislocated, so we might need to put a splint on in order to lessen how much weight there is on it," He glanced over at Ciel, who was asleep.
"Young mistress, you should sleep as well, your day was exhausting, and you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow. We will arrive in London in a couple hours," He smiled and kissed my forehead. As I closed my eyes, Sebastian started humming,
"Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
Magaru,
Magaru,
Tetsu to hagane ja magaru,
My fair lady."
Well that was the first chapter, I don't mind constructive criticism, so please let me know by you guys reviewing. The next chapter will be up soon, but I will never put a specific date, because I never seem to make the deadline. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed! :D
