CHAPTER 1: The Journey

CIEL'S POV

It was after I became a demon. Sebastian and I had just left the mansion on our journey to... the underworld. I decided it best I see his... no... demon's home before we start... start... I'm not sure...

"Young master, we are headed towards the portal." stated a familiar voice. We were in a carriage heading towards the portal in what they call 'Deadman's Forest'. It definitely suits its name. "Just get on with it." I replied to Sebastian. My surroundings were dark and I could sense the danger.

All we could hear were the wolves howling, something other than the wind. Suddenly the carriage stopped. "We are here, bocchan. " Sebastian said. He opened the carriage door and offered his hand. I took it although on my way down, I tripped on the steps which got all of me into his arms instead of a hand keeping steady a hand. "Are you okay?" Sebastian questioned me. I nodded 'yes'.

I stood up straight and dusted myself off. Sebastian guided me to the portal and bend down. "What do you think you're doing?" I asked. "This is going to be a rough passage. I don't want you getting lost or hurt." He replied. His positioning was of which a what they call a piggy back was to be given. I stared at him for a moment and decided to take the offer.

"Ready? " he asked. I nodded my head in approval and the next thing I knew it was black, all black.
