Dishes clattering and light chatter filled the almost empty restaurant as the clock ticked closer to closing time. The bell above the door ringed a couple times behind the last few customers leaving. "Have a good night" was spoken all around. Servers counted their tips for the night at the silver top counter while the bus boys gathered the last of the dishes to bring to the kitchen. "80, 90 and 100, here you go boss my check out for the night." A long red headed girl with glasses threw the blue bag in front of the man with crimson eyes. "Thank you Rin, don't forget to tip out the bussers before you leave this time." She laughed and scratched her head nervously with her eyes darting back and forth from the man in front of her to the blue eyed blonde bussing her tables. "Well of course Sebastian I wouldn't just leave without tipping out Finny!" Sebastian rolled his eyes and waved her off.
The bell above the entrance rang and without looking up Sebastian called out. "We're closed bud, come again around open tomorrow." Papers were thrown over the clipboard Sebastian was working on. "I said we're clo- Oh it's you." Sebastian sighed and picked up the papers that was laying on top of his closing work. "What are these for?" A seat was pulled from the bar making a screeching sound through the empty restaurant. Crimson eyes met golden ones and both males sighed. "Fuck Claude again?!" Sebastian flipped through the papers and found one interesting page with a photo of a young male with navy blue hair and a pair of the same color eyes to match. Ciel Phatomhive was scribbled on the bottom of the photo and he couldn't figure out how those blue orbs were drawing him in. "This one, where is this one located at?" Claude cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses. "An orphanage off of Firelane, there's a woman who goes by Madame Red she runs the place and I heard that this little blue bird is related to her." Sebastian's eyebrows raised "Related to her and she has him doing this? To think they say blood is thicker than water." Sebastian whistled a tall scruffy looking man over. "Bard I'm going to need you to be my assistant manager tomorrow night I have business to attend to." The tall man flicked the ashes from the top of his cigarette into the closest ash tray. "Sure thing boss and hey stay out of trouble this time." Sebastian laughed. "You got it dad." Sebastian got into the passenger side of a silver 3500 two door BMW. 'You are thirty minutes from 767 FIRELANE' a woman's voice on the gps was reading directions to the driver.Sebastian leaned his seat back and sighed, crimson eyes locked on the blue orbs in the picture. "Now tell me all about this Ciel kid." Claude smirked and started the car, the engine roared to life causing a smooth vibration to come over the car. "It's going to be a long ride."
Loud club music played over the numerous speakers covering the velvet walls, lights flashed white and blue over a long stage with a pole centered in the middle. Crimson eyes flickered from the various men whistling and howling up at the small male dancing on stage. His navy blue hair hung just inches from his neck, a black eye patch covered his left eye, and the only visible eye looked glazed over and faded. The boy moved his hips with the music and crawled on stage when the song playing would get slower. Sebastian watched from a distance, disgusted with the way the men were grabbing at the young male yelling out vulgar comments. I can't believe this place is supposed to be portrayed as an Orphanage, what a disgrace. Finally the young male's song ended and another young blonde male hopped on the stage where the blue haired one once was. Sebastian watched as a woman in a large red coat with red hair to match approached the bluette and whispered something in his ear. The boy nodded, looking dead and walked over to an old scruffy looking man situated in an oversized lounge chair in a dark corner of the club. "I think I've seen enough, let's go Claude." Sebastian tugged on his friend in glasses and threw some cash on the table where they were drinking at.
When outside Claude let out a big groan while he stretched out his arms. "So what do you think?" Sebastian rubbed the back of his neck and sighed. "That is no orphanage." Claude laughed and lit a cigarette. "Well no shit, are you saying you'll work with me again?" Sebastian contemplated his next words. Did he really want to go through the hero act once again? Claude has been Sebastian's best friend since high school. Claude was following his dream becoming an FBI agent and Sebastian was taking over his adopted parent's restaurant. Since starting his career Claude has been working on illegal businesses like escorting, prostitution and fake Orphanages that is used as a strip club who distributes prostitution. Sebastian thinks back on the last case he helped Claude on, it pained his heart to think of the young boy he once looked after. "Your parents would be proud of you for doing this Bash, you know since they saved you from the same thing these kids are going through." Sebastian sighed and nodded. "Let's shut this shithole down."
The sun shined in through a large window sitting by back wall of the apartment. Birds were chirping away outside and car horns were heard in the distance. Sebastian stood at a tall mirror in the corner of his bedroom and stared at his ensemble and smiled. "Okay I look like a well-funded business man." He laughed to himself and slipped his brown dress shoes on completing his tan and dark brown suit. "If only that was true." Sebastian had went back to the "Orphanage" that was ran by Madame Red earlier the same week looking to adopt Ciel. After a lot of paper work and the woman staring with her piercing red eyes he had promised to be back the next morning to receive the boy and his things. "Well Good morning and welcome back!" Madame was wearing her usual oversized red coat and her red heels. "I had Ciel pack everything last night, I'll go fetch him just wait right here." Sebastian rolled his eyes watching her leave the room.
Madame Red rushed down the hall, her red high heels clacking along the white diamond tiled floor. "That smiley fucking bastard, if only he could've came here on different terms." Madame Red scoffed as she swung the brown wooden door open. Red eyes quickly met with blue ones and immediately the young boy looked away. "God Ciel if you didn't look so damn young you wouldn't be my high rolling prize collection." Madame sighed and ran her manicured nails through the silky navy hair. "You know you can speak to me and the rest of the members here, our deal only relates to the customers." Ciel looked down at his interlocked fingers and sighed. Madame laughed and pulled his head back causing blue eyes to meet with red once more. "I have one last request for you my dear blue bird." She released his locks and turned his body facing hers her hands gripping Ciel's shoulders causing him to wince at the pain. "I'm going to let you go now but only for a short time." Madame smirked and released her grip of the boy. "I can't afford to lose my star blue bird forever now can I?" She smiled and plucked a rose from a bouquet of white roses that sat in a black vase on the male's vanity. Bringing the rose up to her nose, inhaling deeply she smiled to herself. "You're going to rob him of everything he has." She laughed manically and pushed the boy off the bench he was sitting on. "Now get your stuff and make your favorite auntie some money." Madame stepped on the boy's hand, piercing it with her heel causing Ciel to yelp in pain. Leaning down with evil seeping from her voice as she spoke in Ciel's ear. "If you break our deal, you can kiss your freedom goodbye." Madame spit on Ciel's cheek. "Now get cleaned up and meet me in front in about ten minutes."
Ciel whimpered grabbing his injured hand, a few tears streamed down his face. "I wouldn't even be in this mess if it wasn't for her." Ciel thought back to the curly blonde with green eyes, she was the reason that Ciel had to hide is real age and act like a kid for the sick old rich bastards that came in to relive their fetish. He thought back on when life was perfect living with his parents and dog Bash until tthey brought a young peppy girl with bouncy blonde locks. "Ciel dear this is Elizabeth and she is your fiancée! Your father and I thought since you both are sixteen now we can finally begin to get you guys familiar with each other." Ciel's mother smiled and pushed the young girl towards her son. Ciel extended his hand grabbing Elizabeth's, turning it over he placed a soft peck to the inside of her palm. "Pleasure to meet you Miss Elizabeth, I'm sure we'll get along just fine." She smiled with a giggle and looked up to the couple smiling so wide at the scene. "Now that's my son!" Ciel's father laughed walking over to the young couple. He put his hand on Ciel's and Elizabeth's shoulders. "Welcome to the family Lizzie!"
Ciel smacked his cheeks trying to shake the nightmare coming for him but to no avail when he opened his eyes he was back at the mansion where he lived. Blood was stained on the walls, floors and all over Ciel's clothes. Ciel sobbed over the blonde girl's apology. "I'm so sorry Ciel she made me do it." Ciel looked up through his teary vision to see his aunt Madame Red covered in his parent's blood. "There's no need to apologize Elizabeth, these two and their pampered son deserve everything I'm giving to them." She turned to Ciel wiping his parent's blood on his already stained shirt. "Welcome to Hell Ciel, where you'll visit will be ever so promising." She dragged the sobbing boy out the front doors of the mansion. "Now burn this place to the ground Lizzie. Oh and don't be late getting back to the Orphanage yeah?" Lizzie nodded as she poured containers of gasoline all throughout the mansion. Ciel watched his childhood home engulf in flames through his blurry vision.
Ciel quickly wiped away the tears that rolled down his face. Ten minutes had already passed and he knew that if he didn't hurry out to where Madame waited for him he might be not be leaving with both his eyes intact. As he grabbed his things he looked back at the room he was kept in one last time. "I wish I will never return to this place." Ciel spit on the floor and slammed the door behind him.
