A lady with orange, curly hair walked into a laundry room and set down a basket filled with small, dirty clothes. In the distance there were children

who could be heard screaming and playing carelessly. The woman smiled at the strangely comforting sound. The female's name was Linda and she

ran an orphanage in England. Linda was a quiet, sweet young woman with wild hair and soft brown eyes.

She let her mind wander as she did the laundry, thinking of the children that lived in her big house.

Ah, that Elizabeth came here just last week; she's such a sweet, happy child. I'm sure someone will adopt her soon enough. Then there is that

Finny boy. He's so cute! I bet he will get adopted within the week! They will both go to a happy couple that will love them for sure! So many

wonderful children live here...

She finished the laundry soon enough and took it to each of the children's rooms setting the clothes in their dressers. She went back to thinking of

the kids, as she went into each of their rooms, putting away the laundry. The room she went to next happened to belong to a boy named Ciel

Phantomhive.

Ciel looked up from his game of chess, and at the woman in the doorway. He saw that the woman had clothes to put away and didn't need

anything from him, so he went back to his game. Ciel played the game by himself, as none of the children wanted to play with him.

Linda blinked and walked over to the child's dresser. Ciel Phantomhive, such a strange child. She glanced over at him while she put up his clothes.

He played his game, ignoring the woman.

It's been two years since he's come here. Most children only live here one year or less, but he's different.

Ciel felt the woman stare at him. The boy would have glared at her if she were anyone else, but she was always very kind to him, so he was polite

to her.

She could have just thrown me in a hospital, but she didn't and has given me as much of a normal life as possible. Doesn't she ever tire of it? It's

not like I'm going to get adopted anyway.

The woman finished up and walked out. She thought back to the time she meet the boy...

*Flash Back*

When Ciel came here he was only eleven years old. It was raining hard that day and all the children were having lunch. There was a loud boom of

thunder and then a knock on the door. I put food in front of a small child and went to answer it.

When I opened the door there stood Ciel Phantomhive, all alone. All he had with him were the clothes on his back and a small suitcase. His face

was pale, and held an emotionless look. An eye patch was set over his right eye, and rain poured down his face. I was so shocked I couldn't speak.

The boy just stood there waiting for me to invite him in.

I finally found my voice, and told him to come in. Ciel walked in and took off his heavy coat; beautiful noble clothes lay underneath the fine coat

and he hung the black thing over my worn coat hanger.

He studied the house, seeming to take in every crack and imperfection the place held. I asked him what his business here was on such a stormy

day. He opened his mouth, but then closed it looking down. I waited moment, and then realized he wasn't going to say anything else, so I asked if

he came to live here.

Ciel nodded and looked back up at me. He put his gloved hand in the air and made it look as if he were writing.

"Do you need something to write on?" I asked him trying to understand what the strange child needed.

He nodded again, and followed me as I went to the living room.

I got a feather pin and some blank paper, and set it on the small table that was in front of my couch. He sat down, his posture as straight as a pin.

He got closer to the low table, and wrote something in a beautiful cursive. He then gave the paper to me and I read:

Hello, my name is Ciel Phantomhive.

Both of my parents are dead so I have come to live here.

The woman's jaw dropped at the last words. She asked him why he was writing this. Ciel got a troubled look when she asked him this, and plucked

the paper from her hands. He wrote:

I am mute.

The woman read the paper, and smiled softly at him, not asking anymore questions.

"Well Ciel, welcome to my home."

*End Flash Back*

Linda sighed at the sad memory and went off to make diner.

~x~x~x~

Ciel was reading a book when he heard the dinner bell ring. He sighed and stood up, making his way to the dining room. His clothes were a bit

worn after two years since he'd been at the orphanage and didn't get the maintenance they needed, but they were all the boy had to wear besides

the flimsy clothes Linda had offered him.

As Ciel walked down to the dining room a boy, about fifteen years old pushed him from behind. Ciel grunted when he hit the floor and glared at the

child's back as he ran down the hall, laughing. Ciel was used to this by now.

The older ones always bullied the younger ones, and the fact that Ciel was small for his age didn't help. If Linda knew of all the things those brats

had done to him, she'd get out a belt and give them some good whips on the back. The thought of them getting the belt brought a smirk to Ciel's

face.

But Ciel was a prideful boy; he would never ask for help. He shook his head and got up dusting himself off, continuing to make his way to the

dining room. The room was filled with noise and smelled of warm food. It had a soft, comforting glow to it.

Ciel walked to his seat next to Linda. He had no friends; no one wanted to sit with him when they had dinner. Ciel didn't blame them; he was

different after all. A mute child with an eye patch, how can you play with such a person? And his lack of emotion didn't really help ether. All Ciel

ever did was study and play chess.

Linda set the last amount of food on the table and wiped her hands on her apron. She sat in her seat next to Ciel and smiled kindly at the boy.

Everyone hushed as Linda said a thankful prayer. As soon as she said amen everyone dug in; food spilling and plopping everywhere.

Everyone except Ciel, who ate very quietly and politely, using his fork instead of his fingers. Linda chatted happily with the children about her day,

and let them ramble about silly things with their mouths full.

What disgusting behavior. Ciel thought, picking up his plate and things when he was done, washing them and putting them away. Ciel then went

back to his room, and locked the door when he was in. He didn't bother lighting his lamp, deciding to retire for the night. Once Ciel was in his

nightclothes he crawled into his lumpy bed.

After a quick prayer he took off his eye patch and set it on his nightstand. Ciel laid on his side, his mind wondering in the darkness of the room.

~x~x~x~

Two little people crawling up your back.

X marks the spot with four big boulders,

one little rock.

Spiders crawling up your back,

they bite you!

Blood rushes down.

Snakes slithering up your back,

they bite you!

Blood rushes down.

Tight squeeze.

Cool breeze.

Now you've got

the chills.

~x~x~x~

Ciel shivered at the dark song and turned on his back. He raised his hand to his face and touched his right eyelid. Ciel always kept it closed, not

letting anyone see what lay underneath the eye patch. He closed his other eye, and let his hand drop to his lumpy pillow.

The small child was waiting for someone to take him home, just like any other orphan. But unlike all the others, he wanted to take revenge on the

people who killed his parents. His plan was to get adopted and hunt down those filthy bastards, or get enough money to get out of this orphanage

and hire someone to kill them.

Ciel sighed at his plan. So far, he hadn't been adopted, which was to be expected, but it was still disappointing. He wondered if he would ever be

able to carry out his plan. Perhaps he should just give up on it; seeing how it really is nothing more than useless dream.

Linda is so kind; she doesn't believe there's anything wrong with me and that I'll go to a happy home... Such a childish thought, I'm going to live

here forever.

Ciel tried to quiet down his troubled mind. All he wanted was sleep, why must he be bothered with such stupid thoughts? He soon felt the tug of

sleep, and let his world fade to black.
