Chapter Ten: Creation
Sebastian stared at the young boy seated before him, Ciel's blood red eyes locking with Sebastian's own red orbs. The two simply stared in silence, waiting for any sort of explanation for Sebastian's odd behavior. A heavy cloud of tension loomed quietly in the air as Ciel eyed Sebastian oddly. The young master's arms were crossed tightly and his jaw was clenched. Sebastian simply slouched forward, his still wet hair dripping onto his forearms. Shyly, he glanced up at Ciel through his bangs, only to be met with his piercing glare.
"I demand you to tell me exactly why you are behaving like this." Ciel hissed through clenched teeth. His voice was laced with acidity as they hit Sebastian's ears. The butler chuckled inwardly. "Well….he sure is getting more demon-like."
Sebastian's train of thought was interrupted by Ciel sharply clearing his throat. He looked down dominantly at his demon butler. The surprised look in Sebastian's eyes made Ciel feel tall and powerful. He began to pace slowly around the room, his quota of patience wearing thin.
Sebastian stood as still as a statue as he began to recollect his thoughts. He felt Ciel's impatient gaze upon him. Thoughts continued to race around in his mind, his head pounding with pain. The woman's voice began to crawl back into his head, her sickeningly sweet voice cooing in his ear.
"I love you…You live only for me…because of me…"
Sebastian flinched at the words, his rapid movement catching Ciel's watchful stare. Ciel quickly walked over to his butler and sat down on the bed next to him. Ciel was beginning to worry for his butler. Why the hell was such an impossibly strong demon acting like an insanity stricken lunatic?
"Sebastian. When I told you to tell me what was wrong with you, it was an order." His voice was still strong, but it had a hint of sincerity in it. Sebastian looked over at his young master. Ciel was so lucky. His transformation would be so much easier than it had been for him, so much easier, and far less painful.
Sebastian sighed deeply, his voice shaking a tiny bit. "Yes, my lord." He twitched his hands nervously as his story began to form in his mouth.
"Young master, are you aware of how demons are born?" Sebastian looked into Ciel's eyes. Ciel simply gazed back at him, his mind free from any emotion now.
"You have never actually told me." Ciel said blankly. His dark red eyes were trying to read Sebastian's emotions. He simply found fear and sorrow.
"Well, demons are simply born out of pure hatred or extremely vicious acts. Wherever hatred is formed, or where acts of evil are done, a demon is born. Although I have told you before that some demons were once human souls who were deemed by other demons." Sebastian continued to stare at Ciel.
"Yes. You've told me that before and that's what happened to me right?" Ciel questioned blankly. Sebastian nodded and continued to speak.
"Well, I didn't exactly tell the young master everything about the souls who are judged by the demons." Sebastian stared guiltily at Ciel. Ciel simply scowled.
"Well then tell me everything."
"Understood. Not all the "worthy" souls are saved in hopes of being demons. Some are only saved because of the demon's selfishness. Those "worthy" souls who are not formed into a demon are sentenced to be the other demon's eternal servant." Sebastian cringed. "Those servant souls are to stay by the demon's side and serve it in any way possible until the demon either kills the servant or the demon simply dies." Sebastian looked at Ciel, his eyes beginning to darken in color. "Before I was the demon you see now, I was a servant to one." His voice was beginning to get quiet as fear settled in.
Ciel looked questioningly at his demon butler. He noticed how Sebastian began to slowly curl into himself. It reminded Ciel of a small child who had had everything taken from them. Ciel flinched at the image. It struck too close to home. "Well, what happened? Please continue."
Sebastian breathed sharply. "As you wish. The demon that had made me her eternal servant was a world renowned demon. She was known as being the most brutal, and beautiful demon who had ever bee born. She was built for hunting, and she used that to her ability. She manipulated her beauty to feast on the souls of innocent men who fell victim to her seductive tactics." Sebastian's mind began to race with memories.
Ciel stared sadly at Sebastian. He noticed how hard it was for his butler to make the simplest words come out of his mouth without shaking. "Sebastian…" He placed a small hand on the butler's bare back.
"She had found me lying down in the bare snow ready to die. The blood and limbs of three men were splattered around me. I had killed them, and I wanted nothing more that to die in the snow, frozen and alone." Sebastian sighed, Ciel's hand comforting him a bit. "She had picked up my body and studied me. Her beauty was simply astounding; it made me believe I had died and gone to heaven, and that she was simply an angel." Sebastian's mind began to race with images of the demon's long, luscious chocolate brown hair and her full red lips. He could honestly feel her deep red eyes looking through him. "She whispered sweet words into my ear, and she told me that she loved me. She promised me that she would take care of me. And I believed her." A small tear began to form in Sebastian's eye.
"I love you…"
Sebastian continued. "She took me back to her house and she had healed my wounds. The whole time, I couldn't speak a word. When she had finished, she had told me that she loved me. She said she had been waiting for me for a long time. I believed her." Sebastian's eyes continued to water, unknown to Ciel. "She told me that if I loved her back, we could be together forever. I was so infatuated with her, I blindly took the offer. It was then that I realized who she really was." Sebastian flinched, the tear rolling down his chiseled cheek.
"The pain was excruciating. She had literally ripped my soul out of my chest." Ciel's free hand instinctively flew towards his chest where Sebastian had taken out his own soul. Sebastian noticed this and immediately comforted him. "It was nothing like that. I tried to take out your soul in the most painless way possible. She had literally torn my chest in half." Memories flooded back into Sebastian's head.
"Shhh…Don't struggle love. It will be all over soon." Her sweet malicious voice cooed in his ear as Sebastian howled out in excruciating agony. He desperately tore his nails into her back, bracing himself for the pain. Tears were soon replaced by droplets of blood as pain ripped through his body. She gently placed kisses down his jaw as her claws tore into him. Her chocolate brown hair sprawled around them as Sebastian thrashed and contorted in pain. He cried out in ear shattering agony as she sank her razor sharp teeth into his neck, blood spewing from his jugular vein. She began to slide her tongue down his neck as he continued to cry out. "It's okay love. You love me, and I love you."
Sebastian's hand continued to tear down her bare back. He had never felt this much pain and horror in his entire life. Not even when they made him a lab rat for all those drugs. Not even when he saw his father brutally beat his mother. Not even when he saw his brothers and sisters brutally murdered by their father. That was nothing compared to this everlasting pain being inflicted on him.
In a matter of seconds, the pain had completely disappeared, almost as if it had never even been there. He looked up through bloody eyes at the demon woman. In her hand she held his soul. She admired and laughed sweetly at the glowing white mass as she carefully pressed it against her chest. The soul slid into her with ease as she smiled down at Sebastian. She bent down and placed her bloody lips on his own.
"Thank you love."
Sebastian's thoughts were cut short by Ciel's impatient words. "Then what happened?" His red eyes were as big as plates as he took in the information.
Sebastian shook his head as he continued his story. "When she had mixed my soul into hers, I was deemed her eternal servant. For centuries, I simply stood by her side admiring her beauty and seductiveness as she feasted on souls of other men. I never got jealous because I knew my soul was mixed with hers. She eventually became my lover, and I lived to please her in every way possible. She had me wrapped around her demonic finger, and I had no desire to escape that. I loved her so much." Sebastian sighed.
Ciel looked up sharply. "Well what happened to her?"
Sebastian lay down on the bed with a thud. "Eventually she seemed to get bored of me. She would often ignore me, and whenever we made love, she would simply stare at me, almost as if she were glaring at me. We fought a lot more, up to the point when she would physically cut me. She would often go out to feast on souls when I didn't know. It was only a matter of time before I discovered she was going out and capturing more men and making them her servants. One day I decided to follow her." Sebastian turned uncomfortably in the bed. Ciel knelt down next to him and began to stroke his hair in an attempt to comfort him.
"I discovered she had six other servants; one of them was even my own father. I was so enraged and heartbroken I simply ran away from her. I couldn't take it anymore." Sebastian's eyes began to water again. "I ran in no particular direction. I couldn't die, for she had my soul with her. I couldn't disappear, for she would simply find me. The only thing I could do was run home and wait for her. I was certain that she knew I had found out. I knew she didn't care, and I knew she would use that against me. I put up with it until one day, I simply snapped." Sebastian growled angrily as the memories continued.
"Love~!" she cooed sweetly in his ear, her cold breath tickling his neck. "I'm going out again. I don't know when I will be back, so just wait here." She captured him in a sweet embrace as she pressed her lips against his, her hands rising up to tangle in Sebastian's jet-black hair. Sebastian simply stood there, not responding to the kiss. She broke apart from him and looked up questioningly. "Love? Is everything all right?"
Sebastian cringed at her sweet, sickening voice. His fists clenched tightly at his sides as he sneered between teeth. "Don't call me that." He spoke with hatred. The beautiful demon stared at him for a split second, and then started to laugh.
"And why not love? I know you love me, and I love you back." She snaked her arms around his torso, her chocolate brown hair brushing up against him.
"No. I don't love you anymore. And I sure as hell know you don't love me. I don't think you ever did." He stepped back as he stared at her, hatred fueled in his glare. She let out a feral growl as she stepped towards him. She shot her hand up and grabbed his neck, her claws digging into his pale skin. She lifted him off the ground as he grunted with pain.
She looked up at him, a sick smirk painted on her full red lips. "So? That doesn't mean anything to me, and you know that." She threw him down on the floor harshly, his head colliding with the cold, hard floor. She dug her foot into his side as she stood above him. "You're right love. I never loved you; I simply used you for me. Demons cannot love. It isn't in our nature. I simply took you in so you would helplessly serve me like the pet you are." she dug her heel deeper into him. "And there is nothing you can to about it, love."
She hissed out the last word as she began to walk away from him. Sebastian coughed out blood as he picked himself up. He staggered behind her quietly, forcing himself not to breath. Suddenly, he threw himself on top of her, sending both of them to the ground. She looked up at him as he wrapped his hands around her thin neck. She chuckled as he struggled to choke her. "You honestly believe that you can kill me?" She laughed and simply lay there. Sebastian stopped his hands as he simply stared at her. He examined her perfect body and her luxurious hair. He fell upon her beautiful red eyes that stared back at him, her face mocking and bored. Staring at her made Sebastian realize how truly horrible she was. Something inside of him began to emerge as his grip around her neck began to strengthen. He began to slowly sink his nails into her neck. Her previously humored expression quickly turned into one of discomfort and fear. "L-love? What are you doing?" She began to struggle under him, but he wouldn't budge.
"I. Said. Don't. Call. Me. That." Sebastian hissed under his breath as he sank his nails into her skin, blood slowly seeping out and mixing with her hair. She began to scream and protest her demonic eyes wide and fearful.
"What! How the hell are you doing this? Let me go!" She struggled with all of her might to break out of his grasp, but she could simply stare up hopelessly into his deep glare. His once beautifully colored eyes were quickly turning into a deep shade of red.
Sebastian smiled wickedly as he began to tear at her throat. His lips let out a maniacal cackle as he dug his nails deeper into her. "Love? Don't you know? Wasn't it you that said the servants of demons turn out to be half demon anyway? And wasn't it you that said demons are born where hatred and evil acts take place?" He then dug his nails down her check and tore open her chest. She began to howl out in agony as Sebastian dug around for their souls that she held. "Well since I completely and irrevocably hate, no, loathe you, and the act of killing a demon with you bare hands is quite the malicious act, it only makes sense that I am no doubt, turning into a demon." Sebastian then exploded in laughter as his demonic hands came across two masses of pure energy. The she-demon shrieked and screamed out in horror. her own eyes streaming blood.
Suddenly, Sebastian quickly ripped out the two orbs out from her. With a final, spine-chilling shriek, the beautiful demon lay cold and lifeless on the floor. Rivers of her deep crimson blood pooled around her body and Sebastian.
Sebastian held up the orbs and admired their beauty. He held up the soul of the demon he had once loved and stared at it intently. He then set it down next to him as he picked up his own soul. He smiled warmly as he cradled it in his arms. Suddenly, his soul began to seep into his chest. Sebastian simply closed his eyes and sighed as he began to feel invigorated and refreshed. When he felt his soul fully inside of him, he opened his eyes slowly and stared at the soul of his beloved. With careful hands, he picked up the soul and inspected it once again. He could see his reflection in the soul. He smiled as he saw his deep red eyes glowing with hunger. In a matter of seconds, Sebastian opened his mouth and quickly devoured the soul.
He had never felt this feeling before. The soul made him feel euphoric. He smiled as he stretched out his limbs. He looked down at his hands and smiled when he saw claws instead. He chuckled when he stretched out his back and felt a pair of large, black wings spread lively. He almost exploded with laughter when his tongue traced the outline of razor sharp teeth in his mouth.
He was a demon, and he loved it.
