Chapter 1 Freedom
"Who are you?" Ciel asked petting Sebastian's raven hair as the man leaned into the seductive teen's touch.
"Sebastian Michaelis your fateful servant, protector and lover." The man cooed pulling the teen on to his lap, kissing his milky colored collarbone.
"Who were you before that? Who were you after you ran away…? Tell me more, tell me everything, spared no details." Ciel whispered moaning under Sebastian's tongue as he combed his fingers through the older man's hair.
"I told you some last night." He smirked, nudging the teen with his nose.
"I want to know more." Ciel begging staring into Sebastian maroon eyes licking at his cheek bone.
"Yes my lord." Sebastian smiled at the line it has been years since he said that to him.
"Why so formal?" Ciel questioned slightly taken back, they long since decided to no longer consider their relationship as servant and master but as equals to have an equal understanding for each other they broke their contract many years ago but they still remained side by side as partners, or one would even go as far as calling them lover's.
"The situation calls for it you see." Sebastian sighed looking past the teen.
"Was it that difficult?" Ciel asked puzzled at Sebastian's uncertainty this was unlike him.
"You're now the second person to hear this story." Sebastian smirked laying back on the bed.
"This first is?"
"I don't think I have to say it you already know." The man smiled softly combing his hand through his hair Ciel lying next to him.
"From the beginning." Ciel urged rolling on to his lover's chest his legs in-between Sebastian's.
"That would be after I ran away..." The man drifted off playing with strands of the younger demon's ashy blue hair.
"I wasn't the same person I am now you know." Sebastian stated sighing heavily.
"That would be expected." Ciel smirked staring up at the ceiling.
"As long ago as it was that night was honestly one of my fondest memories for the longest time I threatened him I would run away if he didn't stop, he only laughed at my empty threats beat me and did it anyway, I hated myself for not following through. But every time I built enough courage to do so, I would remember that it wasn't all bad living with him. He loved me just in the wrong way I suppose. My conclusion was my mother's death was too much for him and the toll it took on him was unimaginable. So I was the next best thing he would always tell me how much I looked like her, and for that I emphasized him and decided that it would kill him to lose me as well. I suppose I developed Stockholm syndrome, a child's mind is an interesting thing I somehow managed to justified my father's actions. But when I finally did follow through he did it one last time then left me laying there in confusion. I was under the impression I would of had put up more of a fight than that to get away but no. It didn't matter to me." Sebastian's voice cracked as he began to go in-depth of the hardships he had to face growing up…..alone.
That's it? The raven hair teen thought as he laid there naked his father leaving him there walking to the far side of the house disappearing in to the shadows. It didn't matter to the young demon this meant he was free, finally free from the abusive man he was allowing him to leave, and he was not going to take his father's uncharacteristic acts of kindness for granted. A smile flashed across his face as he darted upstairs dressing himself in loose clothing that were easy to run in. Racing back downstairs grabbing his bag by the door when he noticed his father looming behind him, with an empty look in his eyes. Fear raked through the teen's body as he refused to stay chained to that monster any longer. Bolting out of the house the man's hand extended out as he watched his son disappear into the night.
"We'll meet again." The man said, smiling softly as he closed the door behind him.
"Don't count on it." The raven hair teen whispered as he ran faster passing everything and everyone. He ran and ran and didn't stop running for five human days. Forcing himself to create as much distant as possible he ran until he no longer recognized his surroundings and even then he still ran. Running through the districts of hell, stopping for no one talking to no one. Hell is no place for even a demon child at the age of 16 to human that he would be well on his way to becoming a man, but he's not human to demons 16 years old is still a baby, a helpless baby and an easy prey. He knew roaming through hell alone at his age was dangerous so he couldn't stay long, which was no sweat off his back the teen hated this place and all who inhabited it.
He didn't want to stop running but his body had other plans he collapsed on the ground panting in exhaustion, he was unsure how long he laid on the rocky soil all he cared about was his freedom and how nice it tasted…..
"…."
"…."
"Hey, hey he's waking up." A high-pitched voice called as the teen regained consciousness groaning as his body was sore and tense.
"Wha?" The teen groaned as his vision became clear realizing he did not recognize any of his surrounding, turning his head side ways to see a girl staring back at him with a smile.
"MOMMY, MOMMY he's awake!" The girl yelled running over to the door, women looking similar to the child ran in and over to the side of the teen.
"Oh you're awake?" She ask smiling tilting her head to the side her scarlet red curls bouncing in front of her face
"You're a … human aren't you? The teen snarled.
"What do you want?" The teen hissed be taught that humans are horrible creature that hated and feared his kind and are only good for sex and food.
"Tsk, that's no way to talk, you could have been picked up by anyone your lucky you got someone nice." She smiled pulling her scarlet hair into a high pony tail.
"Now what's your name? I'm Mary and this is my daughter Eve." She said introducing herself to the demon.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" He growled still being defensive.
"You're not all bad, you are from one of the richer districts of hell aren't you?" The women asked scanning her eye's over the boy's body.
"H-how can you tell?" The raven haired teen stuttered narrowing his eyes in suspicion.
"I can tell by the way you speak and how nourished your body is." She giggled petting the demon's head, who laid there frozen in uncertainty kindness to a stranger in this place, was unheard of.
"Sebastian, that's my-
"What! That is not your real name!" Ciel exclaimed interrupting Sebastian's storytelling.
"For the sake of the story, I will go by that name, the one you gave to me. I don't want you to know me by anything else but that, please do accept that much for me." Sebastian smiled softly sitting up against the head-board.
"Alright I can do that much." Ciel sighed softening his tone; this was the first time Sebastian ever told him about his past understanding that this was hard enough talking about the events he tried so desperately to forget. Pushing too hard might make him completely shut down and refuse to continue confiding in-depth about his past, so Ciel decided it was right for him to back off a bit.
"Please continue." Ciel politely asked resting his head on the man's shoulder.
"Right as I was saying." Sebastian began again.
"Sebastian, that's my name it is Sebastian." He stated looking up at the women.
"Oh what a lovely name." Mary chimed jumping to her feet.
"Yeah Sebastian! I love that name." Eve giggled jumping on top of the teen.
"ARG!" He groaned rolling over to his side.
"Oops sorry." She apologized kneeling beside Sebastian rubbing his back.
"I think we have bothered him enough, come on honey let's allow him to rest." Mary said guiding little Eve out of the room.
"Wait!" Sebastian called out.
"Oh yes what is it?" Mary asked peeking back into the room.
"Can I trouble you for something to eat?" Sebastian requested, staring at her cheerful face.
"Oh it would be no trouble at all…..um would you eat?" Mary asked unsure of what demons ate.
"Meat something at was once alive." Sebastian chuckled snuggling back under the covers.
"Would you mind if it's cooked I'm going to prepare supper soon."
"That's perfectly fine." Sebastian yawned as he fell back to sleep.
Hours later
Sebastian awoke feeling refreshed kicking off the cover sitting up to stretch. Stopping to listen to voices coming from the other side of the door. Sebastian followed the noises walking out of the small bedroom to discover he was in a cave converted into a home but disregarded its stunning architecture. He cautiously crept down the hallway seeking out the noise slowly approaching the room on the left, which lit a wall of the dark hallway. He peered into the room and watched Mary and Eve conversing and laughing at the table enjoying some sort of stew.
"Oh Sebby-chan! Your uppee eat with us ok?" Eve cheerfully yelled as she got up from her seat and basically dragged Sebastian to the table.
"Sebby-chan? I don't really fancy that nickname. Hey hold on a moment!" Sebastian protested as he was dragged to his seat by an abnormally strong seven-year old.
"Here you go." Eve chirped giving Sebastian a bowl of stew.
These people must be ill, I am unable to comprehend how one could be so cheerful in a place like this something has to be wrong? Sebastian thought while listening to the outrageous pair's conversation quietly eating watching these hysteric characters carry on. Long after supper eaten and done with, Sebastian decided to retire for the night.
I just don't understand why would a human let alone a mother allow a complete stranger into her home especially if that stranger was a demon. These are very intriguing creatures….. Sebastian thought staring out the small window above the bed.
"Sebby-chan?" The red-headed child called out tugging on the leg of Sebastian's pants.
"You're a quiet one." The teen glared at the child's unannounced entrance.
"You're from district one right?" Eve asked innocently looking out the window with the teen.
"How can you tell?" Sebastian growled not liking the vibe he was getting from the girl.
"You sleep too soundly and heavily, knowing that no one would have such audacity to attack you while you slept, most demon's either don't sleep or sleep extremely lightly." The little girl chuckled flopping backwards on to the bed. Sebastian glared at the girl stepping off the headboard.
There was a long moment of silence as Sebastian stood there over the child pondering on whether she was a threat or not.
"Lay down, your making me nervous staring at me like that." She said bouncing on the bed as Sebastian slowly laid down watching her carefully.
"Let's sleep." Eve smiled pulling the covers over Sebastian and her as she snuggled close to the raven haired boy.
"Excuse me what do you think you're doing?" The boy scoffed as the girl snuggled up beside him.
"Sleeping you should too you over privileged demon." Eve giggled nuzzling her face in the boy's chest.
"I strongly disagree I'm more than sure you have your own bed and so I suggest you sleep there instead." Sebastian insisted shifting away from the girl only get backed into a corner.
"Still have your guard up, I suppose that's would be expected the way you were running you escape from somewhere didn't you…" She drifted off curling next to the baffled boy.
"Are you implying I'm easy to read?" The demon snorted growing annoyed with her impressive observation skills.
"ZzzzZZzzzz."
"Cut the act I refuse to believe you have fallen asleep that quickly." Sebastian scoffed watching a devious little smile spread across her face as she giggled, an abnormally contagious giggle Sebastian fought hard to not fell victim to its charm, defiant was futile as he quickly fell victim laughing along with her.
"What's so funny!" Mary exclaimed shining a candle light into the room the pair stop staring at blankly at the woman.
"N-nothing." Sebastian squeaked in a high-pitched voice and the pair burst out laughing again. Eve rolled over and fell off the bed which only made them laugh harder…..
"Hey Sebastian don't drift off on me." Ciel grumbled as he shook Sebastian awake.
"Wha, it's later look at the time go to bed you have school." Sebastian yawned stretching loudly before rolling on his side snuggling under the covers.
"Tomorrow then." Ciel asked getting under the covers as well.
"Yes, yes tomorrow there's still so much more to tell…" Sebastian yawned trailing off.
HA! I'm done frick yeah! I think this was a good start but hey I could be wrong so tell me it's it worth continuing my returning RIS story follower I know your reading this would you like to hear more of the story Ciel does. Also I was thinking I'll do the next chapter in first person I wasn't really feeling the 3rd person thing I don't think it will work for this story what do you think?
