***********************************
(Ciel's POV)
I am Ciel phantomhive, I am 16 years old and I am mute since I lost my parents in a house fire when I was 9. The police said that it was an accident. The gas stove was still open after my mom was done with cooking breakfast. When my dad put on his lighter to smoke, the house exploded. My dad was in the kitchen with my mom....so they both didn't survive. I was that morning with my friend Alois. The night before the fire I stayed with him.
When my aunt came to pick me up, I knew something was wrong. She told me what happened and that I was staying with her. Since then I was mute. My aunt didn't question me. She knows I am struggling with my parents dead.
I sometimes still think that it is my fault. If I was with my parents then I could have warned my mom about the stove. Or I would have died with them. I actually don't know what would happen if I was there. And because I don't know, I struggle with this. That is the reason I don't talk. That way I can hide my emotions better.
I haven't talked for 7 years. I get bullied a lot for that. I also get bullied for my appearance. I look feminine and I wear an eyepatch to cover up my right eye that is purple. I don't know why my right eye is purple it just was since I was little. When I didn't wear my eyepatch people would think and say that I am a freak. Since I wear my eyepatch I get bullied but not as much as before I wore my eyepatch.
That is the reason I don't want to go to school. I hate being bullied. It feels like no one except my aunt understands me.
But my aunt always finds a way for me to go to school. This time she found a school with a good canteen. There is lost of cake. That is the only reason I am going. I know I am going to get bullied again and that I am not going to make friends. But I am still going because I don't want to break my aunts heart. She is always so nice and understanding that I need to atleast try to make it work.
Otherwise I write her a note saying I am getting bullied again and I want to move or I don't want to go to school. We move much because I get bullied at every school I go to. So I often need to move to be closer to the school I need to go to next.
It sounds stupid but someone beat me up once. I needed to go to the hospital because I had a broken nose and arm. My aunt worked at that hospital and she wasn't happy. We immediately moved so that he couldn't hurt me again. I think his name was Claude I don't know for sure. It was years ago.
You probably think I have no friends. And you would be right if I didn't stay in touch with Alois. He is the only other person besides my aunt who understands me. But because I haven't seen hem in 7 years I often forget he understands me too. That is why I sometimes feel like my aunt is the only one that can understand me. I want to see him...but it brings up a lot of emotions.
Enough about that I can better go to sleep because I need to go to my new school tomorrow. Not that I want to. I am only going for the cake in the canteen.
I lay down in my bed. Pulling the covers up to my chin. After a few minutes I am sleeping a dreamless slumber.
