Ciel POV

Demons. What mysterious creatures. I should know, I've been one for a few years now. Seven to be precise. Seven years spent trying to unravel the new mystery that is my life. I have always enjoyed reading mystery novels and solving mysteries for the queen. However, when my new nature became the mystery, I started to not like them very much anymore.

One day, Thursday, I was expecting to die young, give my soul to Sebastian, and be free of the emptiness of my life. The next day, Friday, I was a demon with a much older, very angry demon as my eternal servant. He wasn't the only one upset though. I was looking forward to disappearing into the peaceful darkness where I felt no pain and had no memories of that time from my childhood. The time which still gave me nightmares even as a demon. The time which I have tried so hard to forget.

I felt that my future had been stolen from me the same way Sebastian's had been stolen from him. Not only did he not get his meal that he had worked so hard for but, he was now forever chained to me as a servant.

The first six months of this new life were troublesome for the both of us. I had no clue of how to approach my new reality. Sebastian continued to go through the motions of a proper servant although, I could tell his mind was far away. I thought back on the past seven years, beginning the day about six months after my change. The day when we finally confronted the proverbial elephant in the room. I wondered why we didn't have the conversation sooner than we did.
