Ciel opened his eyes slowly, light seeping into the room. He scrunched his face trying to fall back asleep when he realized that there was no demon standing over him.
"Sebastian?"
Ciel called staring at the door, anticipating the arrival of his demon. When no one came Ciel sat up and looked around his room noticing that it was slightly different than he had remembered.
"Sebastian?"
Ciel called yet again, this time more urgently. Where was the demon? With no reply, Ciel stood up and began to walk to his door.
"Ciel?"
There was a knocking at his door and he heard a familiar, feminine voice. He brought his hand up to the door and opened it slowly. He wasn't exactly sure about what he was looking for when he woke up, but maybe the voice knew.
"Mother?"
Ciel looked at his mother, Rachel Phantomhive, with wide eyes. He didn't know why but he felt like he hadn't seen his mother in a long time and when he tried to think about that his thoughts became blurry. He decided not to dwell on them but instead looked at his beautiful mother and sighed, a sad smile upon his face.
"What's wrong, my dear?"
Rachel asked putting her hand on Ciel's cheek, the warmth making Ciel flinch slightly. This hand felt so real and warm and wonderful that Ciel felt tears well up in his eyes. Why did this feel so lonely but at the same time nice? Why do I feel like bursting into tears now, I should be used to this warmth. With a final gaze up at his mother he shook his head making her hand fall off his cheek.
"Nothing really, I just feel like something very important is missing here but I don't know what it is."
Rachel gave Ciel a compassionate smile and a squeeze to his shoulder before dropping her arm.
"I feel that way too sometimes. Like something happened but I can't quite remember. Maybe some breakfast will do you some good."
Ciel nodded smiling now that he had told his mother what was bothering him. It felt nice to have someone who knew what it felt like.
"I'll be down in a moment."
Rachel nodded and walked off her baby blue dress slowly dragging behind her. When Ciel could no longer hear heels hitting the floor he turned to his room and looked at himself. He somehow felt as though he was looking at another person rather than himself. There were no bags under his eyes from sleepless nights, he looked happier, his cheeks full of color and skin perfect, and finally he looked at his eyes and he saw flash of something circular before it turned back into his normal blue. Staring at himself he couldn't help but feel hopeless for some reason. Something was definitely off about him.
Ciel walked down the stairs looking forward to a satisfying breakfast when suddenly he felt something like a brick wall hit him. He looked around rubbing his head slightly and trying to move forward again but was stopped by the sudden weakness of his knees as he fell to the ground grabbing his head.
"Aghhh!"
Ciel screamed feeling hot tears well up in his eyes as memories surrounded him they were both good and bad creating a sense of chaos. There was a rapid ticking and Ciel looked up through his tears to see every person he'd ever met, dead or alive standing in front of him. At the front of the big group were Rachel and Vincent Phantomhive standing with Sebastian.
Ciel's eyes widened as he looked at Sebastian trying to reach out when he heard the sound of walking and turned his attention to a girl with white hair and light blue eyes. He noticed she had a ghostly pale tone to her skin and was wearing a white dress that went down to her bare feet. The dress had ruffled sleeves and lace trimming along the breast line making it seem more elegant than it was. He then saw she had a pitiful smile on her face as she reached out to touch Ciel's cheek.
When he realized what she was doing he flinched back and she smirked making her way towards both Sebastian and his parents. She swung her arms around Sebastian and Ciel let out a low growl and glared at her. He felt as though she was someone to look out for.
"Ciel Phantomhive, I presume."
Ciel glared as the girl gave him a kind smile and hugged Sebastian from behind. Ciel glared get again noticing how Sebastian appeared to not even care. He needed to know who this person was now and how she knew about him.
"Ah! Sorry I'm Christina Vonnegut, you may call me Christa if you wish to. I am of no threat if that is what you are thinking, oh wait that is what you are thinking!"
She let a loud howl of laughter, throwing her head up in mirth. Ciel's eyes narrowed as he watched her calm down. She seemed quite loony despite her clean appearance; he assumed this girl was fairly good at tricking men for she was quite beautiful. Whatever the matter he would not let someone like this trick him so easily, especially with the way she was holding on to Sebastian.
Ciel cleared his throat to gain her attention which was currently on a handsome man with brown hair and blue eyes. When she looked up he finally spoke.
"Lady Vonnegut, I assume you have a reason for your being here, so would you please kindly explain?"
As Ciel said that he thought over the situation. There was no way that anyone he had cut ties with or anyone who was dead was standing right in front of him. He knew his parents were dead; the mom he had seen today was just a memory of her that he wished to retain within his mind. Yet Ciel still felt that something was wrong with everyone else. He looked around the room and suddenly starting from the back the faces, no not just the faces! The bodies began to melt into a bloody heap, the room became stained with blood just like Ciel had.
"Ciel Phantomhive! These people have died because of your decisions; you have killed every single one of them! Even your parents, soon enough your hands will be stained with the blood of everyone in this room, your beloved butler will be a demon no more if you continue living like this!"
Christina's eyes began to turn to a deep purple color as she looked at Ciel. The rooms lights began to flicker and Ciel watched as his parents melted a strangled scream coming from within his throat. He quickly turned his eyes towards Sebastian tears falling. Sebastian's face cracked and Ciel watched in horror as Sebastian broke, the last thing he heard before blacking out was a muttered "why didn't you stay with me?"
Ciel's eyes flew open as he woke up. Looking up he noticed he was looking at a cloudless sky, a rainbow going straight down the middle. He suddenly felt small as he eyed his surroundings. The sky went on endlessly. He noticed a figure standing behind him soon realizing it was Christina.
"Ciel, I'm here to give you a second chance. I will show you the difference between heaven and hell and when the time comes I will wish for you to end the contract with the demon."
Ciel looked at the now calm girl standing right in front of him. He listened to what she said and he sighed. Looking down he noticed black figures screaming for help, burning in the fires of what he supposed was hell. He felt as though he had no choice on the matter and nodded his head.
"You may show me the fires of hell and the plains of heaven, but I will tell you now that I will not end the contract with Sebastian, no matter what you do I will not."
She let her eyes fall to the tortured souls below her and sighed. Looking back up she smiled and took Ciel's hand.
"Ceil, you can start over. You don't have to be alone anymore; you can have your parents back if you wished too. The only thing is that you would have to give up what you trust the most. Is that so bad to have the demon, Sebastian Michaelis, gone? Is that so bad to want happiness instead of revenge, because I assure you it isn't. All you have to do is forget and you will be set free. Wouldn't that be amazing?"
Christina now looked desperate for his answer, desperate for the boy. She was on her knees now looking at the boy, watching him absorb her words.
"I wou…"
Ciel woke with a start clinging on to the thing that was nearest to him which happened to be his butler. Ciel looked up at Sebastian studying his face that was put together neatly, not a single crack in it he noted with satisfaction as he let go of Sebastian's arm.
"Sebastian, why are you in here?"
"Why young master, it is nearly eight o' clock. If I had woken you up any later our schedule would have been ruined."
Glaring at his butler, Ciel sat at the edge of his bed awaiting his morning paper and breakfast. When he was given those things he listened to his schedule.
"….finally at five o' clock sharp you have a meeting with Lady Christina Vonnegut. She will be here to discuss the ball she is holding for the company. That concludes today's schedule, young master."
Ciel felt a headache coming along when he heard Lady Vonnegut's name. It felt very familiar but he could not tell from what. He looked up at Sebastian questioningly and almost as if Sebastian read his mind he smirked.
"Lady Vonnegut is the adoptive daughter of the late Lord Charles Vonnegut; he was very powerful in the political world but not so much where you would have remembered him, despite us meeting the Lord. He was also a known philanthropist and was popular with both men and women alike because of his looks. Unfortunately he died at the tender age of twenty-six due to unknown causes. Lady Vonnegut is the successor of his profit and manor. She appears to still be in shock over the recent death so please be gentle with her, young master."
Ciel nodded, a face appearing in his mind quickly before moving away. He held his arms out for Sebastian to start undressing him. As Sebastian took his night shirt off Ciel began to feel hot but shook it off thinking it was how weird he has felt today.
"Young master, you're blushing, do you have a fever?"
Sebastian asked scooting his head towards Ciel's. Ciel flinched away and blushed furiously.
"I'm fine, just continue to dress me."
Ciel could practically feel the smirk Sebastian had as he was being dressed. He felt himself growing hot again and sighed. How can someone so infuriating be so attractive at the same time? Wait…attractive?! Sebastian isn't attractive, I mean sure he has his moments like right now, but I am definitely not attracted to this butler. This demon.
As Ciel thought he didn't notice Sebastian coming closer and closer until he could feel the demon's breath ghosting over his cheek. Ciel blushed yet again moving his hands to Sebastian's chest to push him away but instead he found himself curling his hands into fists in eagerness. Sebastian moved his face closer to Ciel's the smell of cinnamon coming off of the man. Their lips were a hairs length away from each other, lips slightly parted when a loud bang came from the kitchen surprising them both.
Ciel's half lidded eyes flew open and he pulled away hastily. Sebastian let out a soft sigh and looked at the flushed boy in front of him as he got up. At least he had finished dressing the little earl. Sebastian walked out of the room leaving a confused and embarrassed boy behind.
As Sebastian walked out Ciel could hear yelling from his servants and the sound of China breaking yet again. This is going to be a long day. Ciel thought as he went to his study.
