A Lasting Poison (Private between HaliBug and diokno44)

[HaliBug]

Ciel shivered, disgusted at the feeling of a messy nappy. His breath hitched as he fought the urge to cry again, though only did what he knew he should do while he had temporary control of his body.

"S-Sebastian…" Ciel whimpered. "Sebastian! Come here!" It wasn't long before Sebastian appeared in front of the small boy with a slight chuckle and an amused smile playing at his lips.

"My, my, young master; you do seem to have gotten yourself in quite the pickle," Sebastian teased slightly. "This reminds me of your first month back at the manor after I rescued you from your kidnapping. Don't you remember what we had to do back then?" That was when Ciel was temporarily in nappies whenever he slept as he kept having nightmares and waking up to soiled bedding.

"Forget about that right now," Ciel said. "Take me back to the Phantomhive manor this instant."

"Young master, you do know that being here or back at the manor does not change your predicament. You're still going to be possessed by the Earl Trancy," Sebastian explained.

"Well, at least you won't endorse it; the brat's got his servants setting up cribs and high chairs for Christ's sake!" Ciel exclaimed.

"Very well, if you must be at your manor, I will take you there," Sebastian said. He lifted the boy, his hand supporting Ciel's padded bottom and further spreading the mess, before making his leave toward the Phantomhive manor.

Ciel sat in the mess for much longer than he liked until they reached his manor. When they finally did return, Sebastian cleaned Ciel much like Claude had, reaching into a cupboard in the boy's bedroom and reaching for the old nappies that had been used two and a half years prior.

"What are you doing?" Ciel asked as he watched Sebastian fold the nappies in preparation to put them on his young master.

"If the Earl Trancy is trying to humiliate you like this, I'd rather not be cleaning up furniture and clothing every five minutes," Sebastian said while he finished pinning the nappies to the boy.

The servants bowed to the returning Earl. They dared not speak of his choice of attire. Neither dud they speak if the foul stench emanating from his rear. They welcomed him, then scurried back to their duties.

Once Ciel was cleaned and changed into his proper clothing, the demon stood away from the boy.

"Young master, if you'd like, you could catch up on some of your readings in the study, or possibly even do some of the paperwork that has been quite neglected since you've been away," Sebastian said.

"You mean you haven't had someone keep up with it while I was away?" Ciel asked with a raised eyebrow. "You could have even assigned it to Tanaka!"

"I apologize, my lord, I thought it was not fit for a servant to fill out the master's paperwork," Sebastian apologized.

"Very well, I'll take care of it myself," Ciel said, standing and making his way toward his office. As expected, there was quite the pile of paperwork sitting on his desk beside his pen and ink. With a soft sigh, he sat at the desk and began to fill out the paperwork diligently.

[diokno44]

Sebastian kept a respectful distance from the young ladling. Bough, he did keep an eye on him. Alois, meanwhile, was thinking. He was thinking Fi ways of torturinn the young lording in his own family manor.

[HaliBug]

Ciel filled out his paperwork and sighed. It took him an hour to finish the paperwork that had been neglected over the past day. After he was finished, all he wanted to do was take a nap, which he decided to do so. After standing - and wrinkling his nose at the padding in his shorts - he made his way to his bedroom and collapsed on his bed.

It was nice to relax a bit. He noticed that there hadn't been much activity from Alois since he had returned to his mansion, and wondered if it was because he was no longer in the Trancy Manor. He felt relieved, believing that it was finally over.

[diokno44]

Alois made what I'll have been a dreamless nap for Ciel int a nightmare. The Earl was dressed in soiled rags. It was more so like he was wearing a ripped potato sack. He was shackled to the wall. The burnt bodies of two adults, his parents, wer thrown into his cell.

[HaliBug]

Ciel looked around, eyes widened as the shock from his kidnapping surged through his body. He had obviously been through an extreme trauma before, and now it was triggering a panic attack. His parents' bodies were the tip of the ice burg - Ciel began to scream.

"No, no, no, no, no!" Ciel screamed, his hands gripping his hair and fisting through it, pulling strands out of his own head. "Sebastian! Sebastian! Save me…Save us!" The boy continued to scream, fighting against the shackles that kept him chains to the wall.

[diokno44]

"Save, U.S., save me! Hah, you are such a child!" Alois mocked. He appeared as an I post grief figure. His eyes were glowing, and had a mad look in their eyes. He snapped his fingers, as a tong of fire appeared in his gloved hand.

[HaliBug]

"A-Alois?" Ciel asked, his struggles ceasing. "This is just a dream...I'm not back in the cage again, I'm not back in the cage again," Ciel repeated softly to himself to reassure himself. There were many times that in his nightmares like these, he would believe he truly was back in his captures embrace. Ciel was thankful this was not the case, though still upset over Alois.

"Alois, why? Why do you hate me so much?" Ciel asked. "I...I didn't ask for you to be put in my body...That was Cl-Claude! Or...Or the doctors; I don't remember, Alois!"

[diokno44]

"You despise about me." Alois raised his hand. The fire was suspended before it. He smirked, "Tell your family I said hell..m the flames launched towards Ciel. Alois cackled madly.
