Straight A student. The most popular guy in school. Ladies' man. Mysterious. Dangerous. These were just a few of the ways people could describe Sebastian Michaelis, though few knew how true the last term truly was. The seventeen year old Junior was devilishly handsome, with a perfect figure, a permanent smirk on his lips, and an air about him that drew humans closer and closer. The young man rode a pitch-black motorcycle to his high school every day, Always sporting something black. His nails, his hair, his clothes. Blacker than darkness. He made Goth look very good.
It was a dark Monday morning. Clouds covered the sky and things were mostly silent, apart from the loud rumm that emanated from the engine of Sebastian's Harley Davidson. He parked just outside his school and stepped off the bike, his legs gripped by dark gray jeans that contrasted slightly with his dark leather jacket. He took off his helmet and flipped his hair. He put the helmet on one of the handles of his motorcycle and put his hands in his pockets before he stepped on to the sidewalk and made his way into Acherson High, becoming immediately surrounded by all the people who called themselves his 'friends'. Little did they know that an unlucky few of them would become his dinner.
The always hooded teen Ciel Phantomhive looked up from the book he was reading when he heard the loud cheers and merely rolled his eyes when he saw it was only to welcome the popular snob known as Sebastian. The teen pulled his hood down even more to hide all of his face as he usually did and returned his gaze to his book.
Ciel was never seen without his black jacket hoodie over his head and completely covering his face from society. The young teen had kept his face hidden underneath the hood that most people had completely forgotten what he looked like and labeled him as a freak. He was bullied a bit and had to keep on guard to make sure no one pulled his hood down to reveal his face and his secret.
Ciel was so caught up in his thought that he had barely heard the bell ring for class to start. A quick curse escaped his lips as he put the book back in his bag and stood up. He quickly began running to his room and accidentally bumped into someone on the way, unknowingly revealing a bit of his perfect skin to the person. "Ah! Sorry about that!" he said quickly before starting off to his class.
Sebastian stared after the younger boy that had just bumped into him. He was about to tell him to watch where he was going, but then he saw his face. Well, part of it. The boy's skin was almost as pale as Sebastian's, and his soul smelled strong. It was mouthwatering. He stood there for a second before he realized the hall was empty, and ran to his first class. Luckily, with his status in the school, none of the teachers really cared if he was late or if he even showed up. Sebastian sighed and entered the English Literature room, a look of cool confidence on his face as he sat in the very front desk. A perky girl named Sarah Jenson was sitting next to him. Earlier that week, he'd claimed her as his girlfriend, but he knew it would never last between them. She leaned over in her chair, her cleavage showing promiscuously. "So, are we still on for tonight?" She said quietly, trying to sound somewhat alluring.
Sebastian fought back the urge to roll his eyes. Leaning toward Sarah, he gave a slow, sexy smile and whispered, "Only if you're ready for the surprise I have for you~" he winked. She smiled widely and nodded eagerly. Hook, line and sinker, Sebastian thought as he returned his attention to the teacher in front.
The hooded teen sighed as he walked out of the nurses office while holding a kleenex to his nose. "Man the third time this week" he mumbled as he remembered being shoved into a locker by some jock and being punched in the nose through his hood.
He sighed once again before opening the door to his room. "Phantomhive! Where have you been?!" the teacher of the class barked as soon as he got in the room. "I'm sorry sir I was-" "I don't want to hear it just go and take a seat now!" Ciel scowled under his hood, "Yes sir" he mumbled as he walked to the very back of the room and took his seat next to the window.
Startled, Sebastian ripped his gaze from the teacher to the boy in the back. He was the one. The human that bumped into him that morning. He had almost forgotten. Taking a long look at the boy, Sebastian thought. He wondered how difficult it would be to get the boy alone. He wasn't very sociable, and Sebastian doubted anyone would miss him. He was broken away from the thought when Sarah asked him what she should wear that night. That annoying girl spent the rest of the period talking about fashion and scandals in the school, none of which Sebastian really cared for. He was beginning to think it would be a public service to remove Sarah from the world. He couldn't wait until the end of the school day. Luckily for him, it came sooner than expected. By Fourth Period, there was an uncontrolled explosion in the chemistry lab, spilling fumes through the whole school. Everyone was told to go home for the day, which pleased Sebastian. Before the unsuspecting girl could rush out the door, Sebastian wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and whispered in her ear, "Meet me at the football field tonight, after sunset~" the girl squealed and nodded excitedly, kissing Sebastian before she scampered off. He stood in the front door, looking at everyone as they ran to their cars and bikes to get away from the Hell they called high school. He smirked at all of them. His tasty little treats. Suddenly, he felt a presence behind him. The demon turned.
Ciel coughed as he, along with the entire Chemestry class ran out of the room "That idiot Bard, the hell was he thinking?!" he growled through his hood. For some reason Bard had thought of the brilliant idea to mix two chemicals that obviously didn't go together and shake them, causing the mixture to explode and fill the school with smoke.
Ciel continued to grumble curses as he walked out of the door and began to walk down the sidewalk to his home, unaware that he was walking right past a certain demonic figure.
That boy again. The one he had bumped into, who the teacher had called 'Phantomhive'. What was his first name? Why hadn't Sebastian noticed his soul before? Why did he look so introverted? "Why do you wear that hood?" The popular boy found himself asking out loud instead of the thought being safely in his mind. His tone sounded more reprimanding than it did in his head. Immediately, he shut his mouth and put his hands in his pockets, thinking the boy would simply ignore him like he did everyone else. Sebastian stepped out of the doorway to walk over to his bike, a sigh escaping his chest. Why am I even wasting my time trying to talk to that human? I have a snack for tonight anyway, he thought.
Ciel stopped when he heard the question come from the older teen. He clenched his fists for a moment before sighing and continuing to walk.
Because it's much easier to hide the truth
As his thoughts continued to roll through his mind, he had hardly noticed the figures behind him, "Hey Phantomhive!" "Shit!" he mumbled and started to run but was caught after a moment, "Where do ya think you're goin loser!" the older boys sneered and threw the hooded teen to the ground then started kicking him.
Sebastian got on his bike and stuck the helmet on his head. He revved the Harley Davidson, loving the loud purr she made. He pulled out of the parking lot and continued riding close to the side walk. Through the tinted plastic in the front of his helmet, the young man saw a big, burly kid about his age kicking the complete crap out of someone. The hooded one that he was curious about. As fate would have it, there was a puddle in the street right beside them, and ever so casually, Sebastian rode his motorcycle into it, creating a splash that drenched both of the other boys. The big one became angry and foolishly began chasing, but Sebastian merely smirked and revved the motor, clenching the gas lever in his hand as tightly as it would go, making a clean getaway. Three minutes faster than usual, the demon made it back to his house. He lived alone, for the most part. His parents would check in with him every few months. He was merely a fledgling demon, not ready to completely break off from Hell's aid yet. He parked the bike and headed inside, eager to take a shower and dress sharply for his 'date'. "Perhaps I should bring a napkin," he thought out loud with a wicked smile.
"Aw man!" the kids growled as they looked at their mud soaked clothes, "You're lucky Phantomhive, but we'll see ya tomorrow" they gave the hooded teen a final kick before storming off. Ciel remained huddled in a ball for a moment until the pain finally left his body. He slowly got up and looked in the direction the motercyclist rode off in. I wonder who that was…. whomever it is I owe them big time The bluenette quickly dusted off his pants and sighed before walking to the place he always went to think; the football field. "Hopefully there's no practice" he mumbled as he reached the field. Thankfully the field was almost completely empty, the only other person there was some dressed up girl who seemed to be looking around for someone and continuously checking her phone. Ciel cautiously snuck past her and took his usual seat behind the bleachers where noone could see him. He sighed softly and quickly took out his book and continued reading where he had left off.
Once Sebastian was ready, he took a final glance in the hallway mirror before making his way to the front door. He was dressed neatly in a black dress shirt with a blood red tie. He wore black jeans ripped at each knee and a silver chain glistened as it hung from his belt loops. The demon had his hair slicked back sexily and ran his hand through it as he gave the mirror a seductive smile. There was a vase of dead roses on a wooden table in front of the mirror; he picked one up and tucked the short stem into the pocket of his shirt. He stepped out of his house and locked the door before he texted Sarah, telling her he was on his way. Sebastian hopped on his motorcycle and made his way back to school- to the football field.
"Sebastian!" Sarah called to him ecstatically, waving her hand to him as he parked his motorcycle. It was getting dark. The sun was setting in the most romantic way. He walked to the center of the football field where the girl was waiting, each stride confident and alluring. He took her hand and bowed deeply, kissing it tenderly. "I thought you'd never come!" She said in a relieved tone.
He stood upright again and smiled down at her. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I had to get you this," he pulled the dead rose from his pocket and gave it to her. She swooned, as expected. Sebastian licked his lips hungrily. "It really reminds me of you," he said softly.
"Why?" She asked curiously, probably expecting a romantic answer.
Sebastian took a gentle hold of Sarah's chin, pulling her close with his free hand as he gazed hypnotically into her innocent brown eyes. "Because it's dead." He purred. Her expression quickly turned from enchanted to shocked, but before she could do something rather stupid, such as screaming, Sebastian clutched the tops of Sarah's arms with both hands in an iron grip and fiercely pressed his lips against hers in an open-mouthed kiss. She let go of the rose, dropping it to the turf. The demon's eyes glowed fuchsia as he pulled out the young girl's soul with his mind. Each soul the demon consumed was different. Despite the smoke-like form every soul took, they all had different flavors, different colors, different essences. No two souls were the same. This particular soul was a soft pink, Sebastian saw as a bit of it seeped like dry ice from the corners of their mouths. It tasted sweet, but had a fruity tang to it. It held her spunky nature and happiness, as well as her fear and pain of what was happening at that moment.
In an instant, it was all over. Sarah's body fell onto the turf with a heavy thud. Sebastian savored the flavor for a moment, then glanced down at her body. He knelt down and placed his hands on her stomach. Concentrating hard, he willed his fingers to extend and become clawed, the way they looked in his true form. In the next second, he ripped Sarah's insides out of her body, scratching her face and shoulders in the bloody chaos he created. When he was finished with his art work, his hands returned to normal and he licked his fingertips clean of her blood. Sebastian made absolutely sure that none of the blood had gotten on his clothes. With a satisfied nod, the demon left the football field and stepped with the same confident strides as he walked back to his bike.
The sound of an approching motercycle finally broke Ciel's concentration on the book. He marked his place and closed the book before setting it down and cautiously stuck his head out to see who it was.
He widened his eyes when he saw it was the same motercyclist from earlier walking to the football field and into the excited girl's arms. He watched as Sebastian seemed to whisper something into her ear then hand her an obviously dead rose which she fawned over. How pathetic. The hooded teen continued to watch as the older male seemed to say something sweet then suddenly give the girl a cold deadly gaze. Everything instantly turned cold and a dark aura wrapped around the teen as his eyes began to glow. With out any hesitation, the motorcyclist pulled the girl into what seemed like a forced kiss until she crumpled to the ground lifelessly, Sh-she's….dead…. Ciel watched wide eyed as the raven haired teen licked his lips and suddenly grew the longest nails he'd ever seen, the teen made quick work of making it look like the girl had been killed by some loon and started walking back to his motorcycle contently.
Ciel shook as he tried to comprehend what he had just seen, he stood up and slowly walked out of his hiding place. After thinking through everything he saw he looked up and finally saw a glimpse of his face. It was Sebastian…the person who was known for dating every girl that has disappeared lately. The hooded teen widened his hidden eyes as everything finally made sense; the multiple dates, the missing girls, the way the older teen seemed to stare at someone as if they were a meal, it was right then and there when Ciel finally realized what Sebastian truly was, "…a-a….demon….."
