Chapter 2: Looming Bells

Ciel was standing on familiar ground. He looked down to see black and white tiles chipped at his feet. He knew where he was as his heart began to sink into his chest. Ciel's pace slowed as he noticed the all too familiar footsteps of his butler clacking on the tile floor beneath his feet. Ciel's genuine smile graced his features " Sebas-" before he was cut off. He paused and noticed that this was not the beloved butler that always woke him up in the morning or made delicious confections to satisfy his sweet tooth. No… this was not Sebastian at all this was... Ciel paused… a demon.

This was a ludicrous thought to be sure but Ciel actually forgot sometimes that Sebastian was indeed a demon. This was wrong though. Sebastian did have his moments but he never felt so cold to Ciel. His very presence was making his small frame shake from the cold. Then he realized that this was not his butler at all.

The young Earl began to step back "your not- get away from me". Much to the young Earl's surprise his voice sounded weak and laden with sorrow. His heart clenched as the demon appeared right in front of him, a fanged smirk gracing his now darker and malicious features.

Ciel's heart stopped he could barely breathe. Sebastian had now pushed Ciel onto an all-familiar and horrifying spot. The cold stone bench that lay in the middle of the demon island made Ciel freeze. It was a place that was all to familiar. Tar black feathers that lay on the ground signified the many souls that had perished there. Not by multiple demons but by just one, his… Sebastian.

His heartbeat was now pounding in his ears. It was too much and he closed his eyes tightly not wanting to open them ever again. He could barely breathe now, he was clenching the other side of the bench with extreme ferocity. He had done so before on the bridge after-. He paused in the middle of his thought " this is just a dream, you're not my Sebastian" he knew his body was shaking violently but he had no more energy to keep up his act. His pride was now gone and the only emotions that replaced it was pain, hope, and fear. He looked up to notice that the demon was licking his lips at him, which sent shivers up and down his spine. Sebastian had never looked at him the way he did now. It was… terrifying. His eyes snapped open even wider as a bell loomed in the background. That bell, ever since he returned into Sebastian's care and out of Trancy's (thank god), this place and that bell haunted his nightmares.

Before he had no will to live and gladly would allow Sebastian to eat his soul without sheading a single tear. In fact he welcomed it. He had nothing left and once he completed his sought after revenge his purpose was fulfilled. Now, however, Ciel had feelings for Sebastian and he wanted to live, to be with Sebastian. It was true. That is what he wanted all along. He missed his demon. The demon that would take care of him and comfort him. Ciel dropped his head in defeat but this Sebastian wanted nothing to do with him. In fact he wanted the small boy dead. He now felt the demon's breath on his ear " young master, are you listening to me?". Ciel just shook his head. He so desperately wanted to return to his king sized bed in the manor.

Sebastian grabbed Ciel's chin tightly forcing two mismatched eyes to stare back at him. The young Earl pulled away quickly, pain festering in a now deeper wound "you are not my Sebastian" he repeated angrily " get away from me, its just a dream!".

The demon smirked in satisfaction "and how do you know that your little fantasy that I could possibly love you is not the dream, young master?". Ciel's eyes filled with pain and then were replaced with confidence "I know Sebastian better than anyone and he is not as cruel as you are!" he spat venomously. Ciel heard a laugh that made is skin crawl "is that so? If I remember correctly weren't you the one who scolded me for being uncaring and cruel this very afternoon?". Ciel's heart sank even lower in his chest.

How did this version of Sebastian know this? Oh course it was his subconscious trying to make himself feel guilty for the actions that transpired before he fell asleep but this was cruel. His own mind was betraying him. Creating a version of Sebastian that hated him to no end. Maybe that's the way Sebastian did actually feel about him.

The crimson eyed demon's smirk widened "believe what you will young master but... This is the reality... this is your reality". He tore Ciel's eye patch off forcefully "if this is a dream as you so claim then why can you feel pain?" Sebastian had brought Ciel's fingertip up to his now demon fangs and left a rather deep gash in the porcelain skin. The young Earl held back the pain but let a small whimper escape his parted lips.

Anger was now at its boiling point and Ciel could not stand it any longer. His fear was gone and was replaced by pure hatred, which made the false version of Sebastian look pleased. He balled his fists at his sides and sent the nightmare Sebastian glaring hateful mismatched eyes "how dare you take his voice and appearance!" His eyebrows were now furrowed and his teeth were gnashing together. He almost screamed the next words his emotions boiling to the top "you are not my Sebastian!" He knew had repeated this countless times but it gave him a small amount of comfort that Sebastian would wake him up at any moment and return him to reality.

A gasp escaped his lips as the now all too amused replica of his beloved butler was smirking, their faces only centimeters apart "wrong young master… this is your reality… Why would I love and care about someone like you, a pathetic human?"

His eyes were now shut tightly at the words, it was too painful and he was not going to open them again. He heard the bell ring louder and a crow began to squawk overhead. The now emotionally weakened Earl began to repeat in his head over and over again. This is not my reality, that is not my Sebastian, none of it's real, wake up… wake up! Ciel was now holding back tears still repeating the same words as before.

Ciel's eyes opened slowly, his vision blurred for a moment. He looked at the floor, checkered, black and white tile, the same. He heard footsteps, a familiar sound. It was happening again the whole nightmare was happening again but why then did the Sebastian he had closed his eyes on earlier feel so close to him still? Just as he looked up he realized that Sebastian was walking toward him and the Sebastian that had been so close to him before was gone. He clenched the bench even tighter now and closed his eyes in pain, not again please not again! Ciel's heart began to sink into his chest, he wanted to explain his feelings but it was too late for that now. Ciel dropped his head waiting again to hear the nightmare pour out his feelings to an already broken and depressed Ciel. His monotone expressionless face began to crumble. He tried to put it up before Sebastian came to him but to no avail. Tears began to pour down his cheeks. He no longer felt he could control his body as he wiped his tears away.

The foot steps stopped and his butler's smooth voice asked in concern "Young master are you alright?" he walked to the bench where his young master was sitting. Ciel was not going to fight with this terribly painful version of Sebastian again and decided that he would just give in. There was nothing he could do in the first place. Ciel barley replied, "Before I go... May I ask one last thing of you?" he said softly and sadly. Sebastian looked at him sadly and kneeled down to his level "young master I am not-" he was cut short by Ciel's tears and a soft voice "please..." He couldn't help it anymore it was so painful, before he barely cared about anything anymore but now his heart was being torn, the only person he had cared about, who he loved was going to end his life. Ciel didn't know what to do as his butler stroked his hair.

Sebastian's heart was being pulled. He felt strongly about his young master. He himself was hurting the poor boy. He knew Ciel hadn't realized that he had watched everything from afar. When he saw Ciel tossing and turning in bed he had no choice. The boy was crying in his sleep and calling his name as he usually had but this time he did not wake up. It was very rare for him to reveal another of his abilities to Ciel but he had no choice. He entered the nightmare that plagued his young master and was horrified by what he saw. A version of him treating his master cruelly making the poor boy cry and yell at the figment that was created to look like him. He had strong feelings for Ciel but never dared to show it. He was afraid the Ciel would laugh at him or call him weak. He feared rejection. He couldn't stand seeing his precious master in such a condition.

Sebastian replied quietly "yes young master, what would you like?"

Ciel looked up his cobalt and marked eye looking into the demon's crimson gaze. He urged his demon closer to him and gently put his hands on his cheek and gently set his lips on his. Ciel pulled back, cheeks pink before looking away slightly. "I...I am sorry it's..." He paused as his face was lifted up to Sebastian's slowly. Ciel's heart tore it hadn't even affected the demon.

His eyes widened for a moment Ciel had not only shown emotion but he had showed him how he truly felt. This was rare and he wanted to savor the moment but Ciel still thought of him as a cruel unrelenting evil creature due to his previous encounter with a figment version of himself. Sebastian looked at his young master with glowing irises and leaned forward, he could see the pain and fear on the young boy's face as his lips brushed against his He hated playing this part but he also did not want Ciel to know that he had invaded his personal space. Not to mention the fact as soon as he returned the young Earl to reality that he would surely get a slap across the face if he found out.

Ciel's eyes closed a few small tears running down his soft pink cheeks "don't do this... Please" Ciel couldn't take it anymore he cried softly as he said the words with quivering lips.

Sebastian wiped his tears away with a heavy heart "just relax young master, its alright".
