AU: Hello! I'm Kai and this is the prologue to my story called "La danse avec le diable", which means "Dance with the devil" in French. Some themes are inspired by "American Mcgee's Alice" game but it's not an actual crossover. As you're probably aware, it's a Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) fanfic. I hope you will enjoy reading it. I would also really appreciate if you could leave me some feedback, good or bad :)

I would like to thank Shattered Apocalypse for being a wonderful Beta and fixing all my mistakes! You can find her here - u/2349055/Shattered_Apocalypse as she's also a writer.

WARNINGS (to the whole story): violence, gore, profanity, psychological, physical and sexual (rape and molestation) abuse, sexual content

He was the only one left now. After witnessing so many deaths of other children, he had a very clear idea how exactly he was going to die. He knew who would deliver the killing blow. He knew when would this happen. And he knew how his blood would look on the sacrificial altar.

At first, there was only pure fear, born out of horror scenes and wrenching screams. Now, resignation was the only emotion. There was no point in thinking about anything anymore. There was no future, no plans, and most certainly: no chance of leaving the place alive. Accepting the fate was the only thing that could be done… But, ironically, a part of him he didn't know he possessed refused to believe that, still desperately clinging to life, trying to sense hope with every beat of his fluttering heart.

The unexpected happened a night before his destined death. It was very simple; one could laugh at it, if having enough sense of humor. One of the younger occult members forgot to lock the cage after bringing him water.

And he could do nothing else, except to use this chance. Of course, at first he thought it was a trick, some new twisted game they came up with. Only when he was finally outside, able to take a breath of fresh air, not dirtied with the stench of blood and them, he understood what really just happened.

Then he ran. Straight into another hell.
