guys, chill out. Ciel is not gone for good... yet. He's gonna have a real hard time in this chapter lol. I love torturing characters :3 Once again, sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes. Hope you enjoy. Tell me what you think in the reviews.
Sebastian was too shocked to do anything. He just stood still while the demon tested his control over the boy's body. He stretched his arms, flexed his fingers, and turned his neck at all angles before turning to the butler, waiting to see his reaction. Sebastian came to his senses, undescribable rage replacing shock. So potent was his anger that he could hardly form coherent words.
"Leave my master this instant." His voice was bordering inhuman, the multiple tones of a demonic voice creeping into it. Ciel simply shook his head with a mocking smile on his lips. The demon didn't have full control of the boy's vocal abilities yet. If he tried to speak, his words would slur like a drunkard's. He did manage a growl though. And quite a menacing growl it was. It was immpossible for a normal human being to make that sound. It was a growl that would send the most fearsome canine running. When that growl tore through the air, Sebastian wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"A wolf demon," he said. "How repulsive." Ciel pulled back his lip, reveaing immpossibly long fangs. He had gained more control over the boy's mouth, but he still couldn't speak in any human language. (speaking in human languages required much more effort for demons.) So he spoke the demonic launguage clearly in a demonic voice.
"Ah, the crow demon underestimates my power, but will he still doubt my abilities when I destory his master's soul?" A deep, male voice. A chiiling, high-pitched female. The raspy hiss of a person taking its last breath. The shriek of an angered snake. Humans screaming in agony. Wind blowing through empty trees. A coarse growl from an enraged wolf. This is the closest thing to the sound of this demon's voice, designed so perfectly to terrify its prey. Ciel opened his mouth to say more, but was cut off by Sebastian, who had pinned him against the wall by his neck. He looked Ceil, no, the demon, in its pure black eyes. His own eyes had turned into fuschia slits.
"I promise you'll be dead before that happens," he said as he leaned in to suck the demon's soul from the boy's body.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," the demon said in its chilling voice.
"Oh? and why is that," Sebastian replied with a hint of amusement.
"The boy's soul and my own are entwined. I have read his every thought and looked through all his memories. Our souls are bound tighter with every passing minute. You cannot hope to devour and destroy my soul without severely damaging the boy's. Not that you would do that to my soul anyways. You do know what happens to a demon if it consumes another demon's soul, yes?"
Sebastian hesitated, and taking advantage of it, Ciel kicked Sebastian in the stomach. Fueled with demonic strength, the boy's attack launched the butler into the air and against the opposite wall, where he collapsed with a hiss of pain as the breath was knocked out of him. There was a rustle of air as Ciel crossed the room. He was impossibly fast, reaching the other wall in less than a second. Clutching at his chest, Sebastian look up and his eyes were met with Ciel standing over him holding a black dagger, ready to plunge it into the butler's skull. Sebastian eyes widened when he saw the blade. It was a demon sword. Incredibly rare, a demon sword was one of the only items capable of inflicting a fatal injury upon a demon. The only other things that could do that much damage were death scythes and angel blades. The latter was the most powerful as only archangels had access to them.
"Where on earth did you manage to aquire such a blade?" Sebastian rolled out of the way just in time to avoid getting stabbed in the head.
"It has been in this family's possession for ages," He said while swinging the blade again. "It seems this boy doesn't quite trust you. He has kept this blade near him at all times since he contracted you."
"It makes me sick to think that something so vile has gone through my master's head," Sebastian said with disgust. The butler grabbed the arm holding the dagger and twisted it behind the boy's back. Ciel was completely at the mercy of Sebastian.
"Humor me, beast," Sebastian said. "Tell me why you want my master so much."
"I assume you know how demons are born into human bodies." Ciel growled.
A body is nothing but a vehicle for the soul. A body 'dies' when it becomes unsuitable for housing the soul. This happens when the body recieves a fatal injury, succumbs to disease or poisons, or simply grows to old to keep itelf running. However, if the soul was to be taken from the body while the body was still good, the body doesn't die. The body simply freezes. It's sort of like a suspended animation state. Another soul can enter and use the body. This is how demons get human forms. Demons are not flesh and blood creatures like humans and other animals are. They are never physically born. They are spiritual beings that can simply pass into our world.
Bodies can only house one soul at a time. So when a demon wants to aquire a human form, that demon must destroy the soul of the body they want to control. They do this by forcing their way into the human's mind, destroying their sanity and consuming their soul. What was happening to Ciel happens to humans all the time. It is a norm for demons, But attempting to posses a contracted human was typically unthinkable.
"Ciel Phantomhive is mine," Sebastian spoke empathatically . "His soul belongs to me, and you should be killed just for thinking you can have him."
"You killed me in my last body, Sebastian Michaelis," Ciel snarled. "At the time you went by a different name, and you were contracted to a different human," He sniffed the air before adding more. "Your body hasn't changed a bit, though. How long has it been since you took this body? How much of a fight did the human put up? Do you even remember his name?"
Sebastian remembered that human quite clearly. The butler had taken his body over a century ago. The man was twenty-two years old, with a wife and two children. Sebastian had taken everything from that man without an ounce of remourse. He remembered how he simply laughed at the man's pleading. After the man's soul was no more and his body belonged to Sebastian, he had simply killed the man's family without a second thought. Sebastian didn't remember his name, but he did remember the fierce battle he fought with him.
"I have killed many demons in my lifetime," Sebastian stated proudly. "I remember little about the human soul that used to inhabit this body, but you're not the one asking questions here. If I recall correctly, I told you to tell me why you want my master so much," He said.
"Revenge," Ciel said. "Pure, simple revenge. You killed my last body. So will destroy your master and make him my new body."
