Heart Of Stone

By Socio

I walked into my masters favorite lounge, having been called for. "Sebastian, why don't you feel?"

"Pardon?"

"When I was human, I had just thought you were incapable of emotion, being a demon. But now that I am one, I know that's false. So why? " Ciel asked.

I frowned. "It's a long, long, story... Young Master..."

"Hm, well I find myself with infinite amounts of time. Sit and tell me." He chimed, gesturing to the plush red chair in front of him. I reluctantly nodded. 'If I don't obey he'll just order me to do so...'

"Heh, where do I begin..." I murmured, sifting through deeply shrouded memories, hidden for centuries. "I suppose when my parents died." I finally said. Ciel quirked a delicate brow.

Eight years...With a sister, and two parents. But an angel took care of that. I ran into my parents room, finding my mother, Laviathin, standing tall against an angel with a white sword. "MICHAELIS! RUN!" She cried, now in the angels grip, that sword against her neck... Just as blood splattered across my cheek I was yanked from the room. My older sister. She pushed me in the direction of the main hall.

"Father's waiting, Michaelis! Go! Get out of here!" She turned towards the angel, standing just as tall as our mother had. "Stay away from him, you bitch." She growled.

I was forced to run, no matter how much I wanted to stay by her. 'Getting myself killed will only make her efforts worthless.' I thought. I saw my father in the main hall, just as a male angel cut his throat. I managed to escape through a side door and out of the building. The female angel set fire to my home.

"Michaelis! Oh no..." Said a voice I wasn't familiar with. A girl who was my age, who looked like she was dead, but still walking towards me, came into view. "I'm sorry... I was too late..."

"What happened after that...?" Ciel asked.

"The girl was Marcaria Grimm Hollow, death's daughter and the one who created reaper kind. She became a sister to me. I built my life up from there with her help. When I was eighteen I was invited into Lucifer's palace. He had known my parents. He adopted me, of all things. And then there was Faustus..." I trailed off.

"Faustus? As in Claude Faustus?"

"Yes. Things plummeted from there." I chuckled softly, hollowly. "That's actually how I came to contract you, young master."

"What?"

"Claude Faustus and I were lovers. We got into an argument, a large argument. Both of us parted ways. I contracted you and he contracted Alois. And then you and that wanton demon Hannah forced me to Kill him. And I was contracted to you for eternity. So in summary, my entire family was slaughtered in front of my eyes, my love and I got into a minor fight, in demonic terms, at least, and our masters forced us to fight to the death. And I was, unfortunately for me, the winner. Now I'm forced to slowly starve to death as a brats eternal servant." I said.

Ciel stayed silent for a moment. "...And why didn't you... you..."

I laughed. "Why didn't I kill myself? I want to. You don't know how much I want to. But, if you would recall me saying this, 'Even in death, I shall serve you until the very end'? I cannot leave you. So if I were to kill myself I still wouldn't see those who I lost again."

Ciel frowned. "That, my lord, is why. Because I do feel. I feel every waking moment of my existence."
