Its a stange thing, when a human dies. Suddeny the world becomes dark, there is this presence of gloom that only death himself can bring. These were the thoughts that passed through Sebastian's head as he watched a boy he worked with being dragged out of the room where they all slept. He didnt know the boy but he saw him everyday working in the factory. Sebastian guessed the boy was about the age of ten maybe a little older and although people from the factory died everyday Sebastian would be lying if he said he had grown numb to it. He was now in his mid-twentys and he himself was surprised he was still alive with the life style he lived. Most children that lived the same never made it passed thirteen.

Sebastian was lucky however, he escaped being used any longer in worse place's and somehow managed to become a factory worker when he was fifteen. It wasn't safer working with machine's and factory owner's who liked to abuse the children who worked there but it was better then his previous confinement of being a child used in the underground. He was raped, tortured, and abused by adults who found him beautiful. Most people would feel blessed if they were attractive but it was the cause of most of Sebastian's pain. He was tall and lean with pale skin, His hair was raven black and surrounded his nerrow face well, but his eyes were the strange feature he possessed. He was somehow born with red eyes and although they were unique he supposed they were the reason his mother left him in a gutter on one of londons roads.

It was probably four in the morning and the boys body was no longer in the room, he knew where the child was going. When bodies of children had no family to claim them their bodies went to anatomist who dissected them. Sebastian supposed that when he died that's where he would go, to some doctor who would cut him open to see what his heart looked like...maybe it was black like the way he felt.

He didn't want to be here anymore but he knew he had nowhere to go, for a short escape Sebastian would sometimes go to the roof and watch London. It being the year 1888 there was never much human interaction at night for the fear of a killer on the lose. Someone by the name of jack the ripper. Sebastian couldnt understand how a killer who only killed five people got more attention then factory owners and anatomist who killed hundreds of children and counting but either way the killer was making the streets quiet and he was greatful for that.

While Sebastian was watching the world around him he could hear a carriage approching and when he let his attention fall on it he noticed it was a carraige of someone who was very wealthy. The carriage was lined with what looked like gold and in the oak wood was intricate carvings of beautiful designs. The carriage driver was wearing a silk coat showing he was the servent of possibly a Earl or maybe even a duke. Pulling the carriage was two very healthy and nicely groomed horses. Sebastian already hated these people, rich and privileged.

But suddenly the carriage stopped and a Beautiful lady with blonde hair came out of the carriage and helped a young boy out who seemed to have dark blue hair. Sebastian couldnt tell from where he was and it was so dark out. All he knew was that this wasnt the place for rich people to stop. The factory was in the east end of london and it was also known as the poor area. Rich people only passed through they never stopped here but suddenly he knew why these privileged people stopped. The young boy with dark blue hair was sick, and throwing up on the side of the road. Sebastian assumed that they were probably from the country and that he got sick from the trip down to the city. It was quite a bumpy road.

Sebastian watched as the blonde woman gently petted the boy who must of been her son's back. A older man came out who looked to be the husband and the father of the boy, he had the same color hair as the sick child.

"Vincent I told you it was a bad idea to bring Ciel..." the woman said to her husband.

"Where almost there, Do you think you can hold out a little longer son?" The man walked to his son and gently helped him stand up from the crouching position he was in.

"...yes." The boy named Ciel replied

"No Vincent, hes exhausted and needs to rest. Lets stop here and find a place for the night." The wife seemed persistent and the man didnt seem to want to anger her. Plus the boy did look very ill and as a father he seemed worried.

VIncent went into a small inn that was across the street from the factory Sebastian worked at and lived in and after a few moment's he came back out and motioned his family to come over into the inn.

Sebastian watched as the disappeared into the building and sighed. Being this close to rich people wasn't going to be good. He knew they would probably give him dirty looks as he passed by or one of them will pay him to "please" them, the young one will probably make fun of the other young boys from the factory because they were dirty and poor...he already hated the idea of the rich family and it was enough to make him want to go back inside. The sun was starting to come up anyway's and if he was caught on the roof he would be punished.

As the day passed Sebastian did his work which was usually carring heavy boxes and sometimes helping the younger kids keeping the machine's working, which was the most dangerous job because when they stopped working the kid's would have to crawl into the machine to fix whatever was jamming it since they were small enough to do so. Meaning when they got it un-jammed they had a few second's to get out. It wasnt uncommon to see kids lose limb's and even their life's. One of the worst case's Sebastian saw once was a child who's skull was crushed by a compressor, he was forced to clean it up, but that was years ago and he felt blessed to be too big now to have those kind's of job's.

When the lunch bell rang he quickly met up with Adrian . A old friend who was about the same age as him. Adrian had long white hair and a large scare accross his face from when they were younger, his eye's were bright green/yellow and he was quite attractive. He would later be known as the Undertaker.

Sebastian could tell he was slowly going mad from everything they had been going through since childhood. Slowly Adrian was becoming obssesed with death and dead bodies. Sebastian didn't mind however, he was changing too except it was the death of his soul that was changing.

"I got you a sandwich" Adrian handed Sebastian a half eaten ham sandwich.

"...where's the other half?"

"I got hungry hehe~"

Sebastian sighed and thanked the man. They both went outside to the front of the factory where they liked to eat and watch the kids that were on brake play in the muddy quad. Today they seemed to be playing soccor or some form of it with a old half dead ball. Sebastian was lost in his thoughts as he ate until he heared the children get a little louder then usual. When he looked up from his meal he noticed the boy that was throwing up this morning outside the factory. He remembered his name was Ciel. When he let his eye's scan the boy he realized the boy had two different color eyes that added to his beauty. One was a deep blue like the sky and the other was a deep purple, he was quite pale but his skin looked soft like cream. Now that the boy was closer he could see that his hair was not Dark blue. It was a Blue-Gray color and he was wearing a dark blue outfit that matched his hair and eyes well, it was made of wool and soft silk showing the boys wealth. It was easy for Sebastian to notice the boy was the most beautiful looking person he ever laid his eyes on.

Ciel seemed to be holding the ball in his small hand's causing some mud to get on them. When Sebastian pieced together in his head what was happening he realized that the boy was walking by when one of the kids kicked the ball and it fell infront of Ciel who picked it up and was now confused as to what he should do.

Sebastian had seen this before so he knew how it was going to go down. The rich kid would start yelling at the poor kids that they got mud on him. He will probably call them filth and make fun of them. His parents will get involved and the kids will be punished...He could feel his rage rolling off him from something that was bound to happen but it was all gone and replaced with confusion when Ciel instead walked to one of the boys his age and said "Can I join?"

"Do you even know how to play rich boy?" A boy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes asked. His name was Alois and he was a few inches taller the the Blue haired boy.

"...I never played before, but I've watched others play."

"Then no, why don't you do something rich kids do. Like count your diamonds." As he finished his sentance he took the ball from Ciel then pushed him making the boy fall backwards into the mud, ruining his blue outfit that showed his status. All the kids started laughing.

"Shit." Sebastian quickly got up, he knew that Ciel would probably go running to his parents and that would be bad. He quickly went to Ciel and helped the boy up but it was too late he saw the teens father coming over and he knew that Alois was going to either be killed or sold and he himself for just being there might suffer the same fate. Vincent came over and most of the boys ran away besides Alois and Sebastian who was trying to pat some of the mud off of Ciel.

"What the hell is going on here? Ciel who did that to you?" Vincent made eye contact with Alois then Sebastian making the raven haired man stand up to attempt to intimitate the older male. This boy was going to ruin his life more then it was already ruined so the least he could do was look strong and unfrightened but the teen surpised him again.

"No one father, I tripped. They were helping me back up."

He looked at Ciel surpised but quickly hid it not to alert the already angry father. Vincent placed his hand on the boys back and started to lead him back to the inn they were staying at. "Come on lets clean you up." Ciel looked back at Sebastian completely ignoring Alois. Once he was gone Sebastian hit Alois on the back of the head.

"OW! what was that for!?" Alois yelled out

"Your lucky that boy didnt tell the truth, other wise you would of been shipped to some brothel." the raven haired man glared at the blond boy who was now a little nervous from Sebastians anger. When Adrian stepped in Alois was already starting to walk away.

"That kid was odd, He didnt try to get Alois in trouble for pushing him and he didnt seem grossed out by us." The white haired man stated and then looked at Sebastian.

"It just means he was raised right..."

"That or he doesnt get much human interaction."

Sebastian was confused by this "what do you mean?"

"when someone is lonely, they try to make friends with anyone...even the poor. "

Sebastian took that into concideration for a moment he did feel like there was something special about Ciel but he desided not to dwell on it anymore. The chances of him meeting the teen again were slim so why wonder about someone in a completely different world? Infact the family only stopped there because the son got sick, they were going to leave today into the better parts of London and thats exactly what they did, that night Sebastian watched as the families servent's got everything ready and help the family into the carriage and then they were gone.

Everything went back to normal, and Sebastian went about his days as normal. A week after the family had left the owner handed him a group of letters tied together. "You, take these to the post office in the west end." Sebastian was irritated that the owner didnt know his name by now. The raven haired man worked here for ten years but if he ever needed him "you" was the name he was given.

Sebastian sighed, he hated going to the west end of london, that was where all the wealthy people were and although the east end was dangourus, the west end was filled with rude wealthy people, None the less he was in no position to say no. The raven haired man set off to the west end. It was funny how much the city changed. It went from slums and gutters, postitutes trying to lure in men, and people coughing on the side of the road, to beautiful buildings and women in big coloful dresses, men in suits and top hats. It was a world Sebastian wished he could take part in, sometimes he wondered what he would look like in a suit. When he found the post office he wasted no time turning the letters over to them, it was a fast transaction and he was already heading on his way back but when he stepped out of the post office he noticed the same wealthy boy from a week ago. Ciel was alone and was holding a book in his hands. Sebastian found it odd that he would see this boy again but he would be lying to himself if he said he didnt like to stare. Ciel was beautiful, and Sebastian watched him wondering what it was like to be born with everything. Wealth and looks, and to be part of this upper class society that he could never be part of.

His thoughts were inturpted when he noticed Ciel walking into the road with his attention on the book in his hands. The boy didn't see the carriage that was racing in his direction and two more steps and the blue haired boy was going to be dead. The horse screamed out and Ciel looked over and widened his eyes as he realized his life was going to be ripped from him. It all happened so fast, and before Sebastian knew it he had ran and tackled the boy down, out of the way of the carraige. He was on top of Ciel and the boy had his eyes shut tight.

When he finally opened them he looked up at the man that was on top of him and processed everything that happened. "...thank you..." Was all the boy was able to say. Sebastian could feel a tug at his soul when his body touched the boys and it scared him a bit. He gently got up and then in turn helped the boy up.

"You are the man from the factory...What is your name?"

Sebastian stayed quiet for a moment then spoke "It seems im always helping you up...please pay more attention to your surroundings...My name is Sebastian."

"Thats such a common name, whats your last name?"

Sebastian was surprised by that response, first why did Ciel want to know his last name or even his first name. Second why was he still talking to him? Shouldnt he have said "thank you" and walked away?

"Michaelis."

"Thats a german name, are you german?" Ciel seemed curious in him and that was new to Sebastian...he liked it.

"No...I believe my heritage is French and English."

"We have that incommon..."

Sebastian realized that Ciel was a French name, he decided to play it off as if he didnt know the boys name as to not be creepy. "And whats your name?"

"Ciel, My name is Ciel Phantomhive."

All of a sudden he knew why this boys carriage looked like one of royalty. The Phantomhives were the wealthiest family in all of Britian excluding the royal family. It was said that they worked for the queen as spies and assassins, all childrens rumors Sebastian assumed. The truth was they owned a popular toy company. Suddenly though Sebastian didnt know what to say to the boy, Ciel looked down it seemed he regretted sharing his last name with Sebastian so the raven haired man quickly tried to think of something to say but before he could the blonde woman that he assumed was the boys mother came running up. "Ciel what are you doing outside!? Come quick, you cant be out here!" she gently pushed her son and lead him to where they were staying and once again Ciel looked back at Sebastian as he walked.

It was time for Sebastian to go back, if he wasted any time he was sure to get into trouble. The whole way back the blue haired boy with multi-colored eyes was on his mind and the strange feeling he got when his body touched the younger boys body. What was that? To put into words it felt like a torn string that was between them was suddenly mended.

When he got back night had already fallen and he went straight to the room he shared with other workers, Sebastian laid on his uncomfortable bed and stared at the wall until he slowly drifted into slumber.

That next morning he could hear a lot of the kids yelling excitedly and when he decided to investigate by looking out his window but what he saw was not something exciting to him; the boys father was walking to the Factory alone. Panic flooded through him, was he in trouble for interacting with Ciel...? Why was this man here? He quickly got dressed and tried to clean up the best he could which was not easy since there was no personal items he owned that he could use to make himself look better however Sebastian was natrually handsome.

The raven haired man was on his way down to the base of the factory when Adrian stopped him. "Sebastian you've been summoned hehe~."

"Is it because that man is here?..."

"How did you know?" Adrian had a huge grin painted on his face "Well Mr. Phantomhive isn't here to pass out toys to the children if thats what you think. Either way the Children are quite excited he's here, you however are not. May I ask why?"

"...I tackled his son yesterday."

"WHAT?! AHAHAHAHA!"

"I saved his life from a carriage!...but i dont think his father will see it that way.."

"Well" Adrian looked at Sebastian "Better not keep him waiting."

Sebastian agreed and made his way to the owners office where Vincent was talking to the man that owned him. When he arrived he knocked on the door and was let in.

"There you are, This is Vincent Phantomhive. He just bought you. Pack your things your leaving with him."

Sebastian looked at his previous owner then at Vincent confused and shocked, Vincent gave him a gently smile and let his voice brake the silence "My son told me a shocking story yesterday about a man that saved his life, he then asked me to hire you as one of our servents. So we are, My son needs someone to protect him and keep a eye on him and hes quite difficult so other servents havent been up to the job, will you agree to it?"

Sebastian seemed to still be consumed with questions, was this really happening? Servents of Earls didnt have perfect lives, but they lived so much better then people like him. They got three meals a day and their own rooms, Clean clothes and so much more. Sebastian would be insane to decline.

"Yes, i'll accept you'r offer..."
