"Are you stupid or what boy?" A drunk military police officer exclaimed as Ciel received a full on smack to the temple. It would be so much better if Sebastian was here, but if he were to even look as suspicious as he did with the mark, people might mistake him for a titan.
Ceil had been trailing with Levy at various sites in the wall. As he was in a meeting right now, he was told to stay in the tavern. Ciel learned that ever since Eren Jager appeared as a titan, many people were being accused as being inner titans as well. Just like the witch hunts of long ago, there were titan hunts where young woman, boys, and men were tried in front of people accusing them of being titans.
He couldn't risk to be killed in a land that he never knew.
"Ciel, let's go." Levvy said as he pulled him aside. Suddenly, Ciel's eye felt as if it exploded. An odd bearing sensation and a searing pain entered his whole being.
He screamed out in agony.
"Ciel!" Levvy called as he came to his side trying to bring him to his feet.
There it was. The same hand that made him suffer long ago. The same hand that imprisoned him in a cage filled with other starving children. It was a hand of suffering.
Then he forgot. Who he was at the moment, but remembered who he used to be. The blow to his temple began to bleed making it run down his face. It streamed not long but fast enough. And as the stream of blood decorated the floor, it formed a same pentagram on his eye.
Levvy eyes widened. He quickly swept the young boy into his arms and took him on his horse to an empty field.
Something was wrong with his eye. Levvy could feel it. As if it developed a heart of its own.
As he sat him down in a field of soft grass. Ciel was passed out breathing heavily.
Levvy then removed the eyepatch and gasped. Not because of the gruesome sight it was with purple veins decorating his skin, but because there was a blade pointed at his neck, and bright red hair over his shoulder.
"My my," The voice said. "Looks like that salt loving bastard was right..." He laughed. "Sorry sweetie, but I think I need to take that brat back where he came from so he doesn't die."
"Die what do you mean?" Levvy asked as the red haired tranny took the eye patch back on Ciel land carried him in his arms.
"I guess the times are catching up with little Sebas-chan, he seems to be demoning much more than before, thus he is putting all of his power out carelessly, it might just destroy this brat here, but have in mind I don't mind it.. I could have Sebastian all to myself!"
"Look I need you to give him back, whoever you are." He said ready to draw his weapons.
"Grell Suttilclif at your service!" He answered beaming. "And I'm sorry, but Undertaker and Sebastian would get mad at me if he did die on the spot."
He then vanished into thin air.
Somewhere in a barn, wails of screaming animals punctuated the vast area, but there was no one to hear them. Inside, Sebastian lay his heart pulsing and his clothes in tatters.
His powers were an impulse. Something he was struggling to control. It was horrifying. He had just slaughtered all 15 animals and was covered in a pool of wet sticky blood.
"Aha looks like I've messed up my coat." He said as he looked at the blood on his once white pristine gloves. "It has been already a week and he is nowhere to be seen."
"Aha, Sebastian darling, this world is extremely interesting..." Grell said as he appeared before him.
Immediately Sebastian shot up at the sight of Ciel in his arms.
"Grell!" Sebastian said shocked.
"Would you look at that," Grell smiled "He was right once again! I can just think of something at be at it!"
Just then Sebastian snatched Ciel out of Grell's hands and was welcomed with a horrific scream.
His master was in pain at his very touch.
Grell then took him back in his arms.
"Look." He said as he removed Ciel's eye patch showing the contract mark that had token over that portion of his face.
"Then what am I doing wrong?" Sebastian sighed.
"You must find the secret of the titan's secret." Grell replied. "Until then, I will be his butler. After all I'm the only one who can so it."
"So who may I ask set you up to it?"
"Undertaker," He answered with a smug look. "He was in a salt barrel while he told me that he had accidently placed one of the books from shinigami library in the Phantomhive library when he was still in service to his father. He told me everything about this old world."
"And how did he know we were in here?" Sebastian asked.
"He said you haven't appeared in the shop in over a month."
"A month!?" He asked shocked. "We have only been here for a week."
"Time differs from there and here." He answered.
"So what happens when I learn about the titans?"
"Simple, you have to live alongside Eren Jager and go to the basement. Once you go there, you will leave."
"Eren Jager? Basement? I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about."
"Well if I reveal more you will be stuck here and your little brat will die."
"Fine is that it then!" He yelled
"Don't worry my little monochrome monster, I will bring him for a visit, I have already built him a manor outside the walls which is fully protected by me. I promise I won't let any harm come to him. Plus, I want to get out as much as you do."
Sebastian sighed. "He is quite sensitive to spicy foods and won't eat anything too salty. And also-"
"My dear, don't worry I will have everything ready for him."
Before he could speak Grell left and he could say anything more."
He sighed as he ditched his jacket and smoothed out his white dress shirt. He clapped his hand s and glared angrily at the massacre of animals on the floor.
"Now to find Eren Jager."
