Ch. 1-That Butler, Dreaming
Sebastian Michaelis was on one knee dressing his young master, Ciel Phantomhive. The Earl was still only half-awake, and kept his eyes shut sleepily, as Sebastian swiftly and easily buttoned his shirt. When Sebastian had finished, he stood up.
"Finished, my Lord." No sharp remark from the master? The demon thought. He glanced over at Ciel, who appeared to be falling asleep standing up. He involuntarily reached out a gloved hand to his master. A split second before he made contact, Ciel's eyelids snapped up, revealing a pair of striking sapphire eyes.
"SEBASTIAN!" Ciel Phantomhive roared in anger, an evil glint in those deep, beautiful eyes.
Sebastian woke up with a start. When he found himself in a plush bed in a spacious room, he relaxed against the pillows and sighed at the vivid nightmare he'd been having. That was the only bad thing about sleep. It was generally a luxury, since sleep was wholly unnecessary for creatures like Sebastian. However, lately he had been forcing himself to sleep less and less, due to being haunted by recurring dreams of a young boy, Earl Phantomhive, whom he'd made a contract with recently, only about a century ago.
Meanwhile, only a few miles away, a slim, raven-haired girl tossed in her sleep from her own dream. But unlike Sebastian, she didn't remember much when she woke up. Only one image stayed in her mind-that of a somehow familiar man, dressed all in black, with longish, choppy, ebony hair. Who was he? She could feel the answer in the very back of her mind, refusing to come out.
Suddenly, she heard a muffled cackle. She whipped her head around, twisted her body in all directions searching for the source of the creepy laugh. Then, after what seems like decades, she found it. It was her.
Sebastian couldn't figure out why he continuously dreamt of Ciel Phantomhive. True, the boy was gifted in many ways, calculating, and cunning for his age, yet he hadn't been anything particularly special, just another soul that Sebastian hunted. And while Sebastian most enjoyed the souls of the passionate-yet-cold and the conniving-yet-innocent, he had devoured so many decent souls lately that he could not tell one from the other. So why dream of Ciel out of all those souls?
He would figure this out, just not today. I sound like a smoker attempting to quit, he thought to himself in disgust.
The girl screeched in horror. How could such a sound be coming from her without her noticing? She hadn't been laughing though…was it coming from inside of her? As if the voice could hear her thoughts, the demonic (excuse the pun) laugh came again. This time, whoever was laughing was shrieking between gasping for breath. Then it happened. The dark-haired beauty's rib cage started to vibrate.
"Wha-" she started to say, but was interrupted by a final shriek. All was silent in the ancient, lonely mansion. "What the hell . . . ?" Raiya thought out loud as she tried to keep herself from shaking.
Sebastian was dreaming again.
This time, he was undressing Ciel, preparing him for a bath. When he pulled the shirt off Ciel's small frame, a smirk pulled up at the corners of the Earl's mouth. He then opened his mouth and began to laugh. He laughed so hard, he was convulsing on the bathroom floor. He gasped for breath, and shrieked with increased laughter that was almost inhuman. Sebastian, in his dream state, could do nothing but stare as his master let out one final derisive scream before collapsing in stillness, nothing more than a vulnerable young boy, naked on the bathroom floor.
Sebastian instantly knew what was going on, but he didn't want to believe it. He was up and out the window in a millisecond. He had to hurry to the Kaptoire House before the traumatized person recovered.
