CIEL'S PONT OF VIEW:

Sebastian said to head towards the center. That's where we were supposed to meet. I ran forward and tripped. I looked down to find I tripped on my shoelace. Wow... that's just sad. I got up and looked ahead of me and was grateful that I tripped. If I didn't I could have died.

In front of me was a dance floor like pad. If I stepped on the wrong one I would be dead. I take it back. Thank goodness that I tripped over my shoelace.

I inspected the floor carefully and noticed that there were letters on the tiles. I looked around and spotted a pole. When I walked over to it I saw a note. It read: Think carefully. The answer is a name. Be careful.-Viscount. I shivered in disgust. I hate that man.

I looked at the floor again. There are so many names. Which one could possibly be the right one? How am I supposed to understand this? I decided to go with the first name that came across my mind. I looked at the letters in front of me. A, C, S. I sighed and stepped forward.

I suppose I stepped on the wrong letter because I fell through yet another hole in the ground. I was standing on a square in the middle of a room. It was a plate that launches upward. All around me there was a deep trench that went down so far that when I threw my shoe down there it took three minutes to reach the bottom. I gulped. I did not want to fall down there. That would be the end of me.

A voice rang out all over the chamber. "Ciel... you must answer these questions honestly or you shall not pass through and will fall to... well... you can imagine." he said. I gritted my teeth and accepted. "Number one... how do you feel about being alone forever?" he asked.

"I can be alone forever but I don't want to be." I answered. "Good. Number two... do you like being with Lizzie?" he asked. No... maybe I can lie and get away with it. I doubt it though... and even if... do I really want to take that chance? I looked down nervously. "Hurry up." he said. "No." I said quickly.

"And last but not least... number three... how do you feel about Sebastian being your butler?" he asked. "I am glad that he is there to help me and can protect me easily. I know that he would do anything I asked of him as well." I said. It isn't technically lying because he asked how I felt about him being my butler, not how I felt about him as a person. "Very well." he said obviously angry I avoided the question.

Apparently I am more clever than he thought I was. I was launched upwards and I was once again at the start of the dance floor like pad. This time I knew where to step. "Thanks for asking me questions about him." I said under my breath. I stepped on the S and looked around for the next letter.

Once I found the E, I continued on searching for the letters of his name. When I was standing on the N, I looked and saw that I could either immediately leave the pad or keep walking along the pad on the empty spaces provided. I listened intently for a way to figure out which one would be the right move.

I heard a hollow sound when I threw a rock at the ground to the left of me. Not that way. So I assume I would go over to the blank spaces. I cautiously took a step forward and I didn't fall so I continued to walk forward.

I kept walking and realized it was getting dark. I found a doorway that led down a corridor. There was another note that read: Go to sleep. You won't be able to do anything else for the night. The trial will appear tomorrow. Be prepared.-Viscount. I scowled and crawled into bed. Great... this is going to be fun.
