Chapter Ten: Through the Eyes of a Demon
(Sebastian's POV)
My angel has disappeared. I have not seen or heard from my mate in a week, and this troubled me severely. Evangeline was in danger, and without me around, she could be easily killed by the archangels. What I did was wrong, but my inner demon took over. Young master gave me his orders, and I had been longing for her for quite some time now. I suppose I simply lost myself, but that was still no excuse. I hurt the child, and I doubt that she will ever forgive me.
Ring! Ring! Ring! I sighed; what did he want now? I left my bedchamber and walked down the corridor that led to the young master's room. I walked in and looked over at my lord. His head was resting upon his hands, and his eyes were glaring up at me. How I loathed that look, and I would have to see it for all eternity.
"You called, my lord?" I said as I strutted over to his desk.
He sighed and nodded. "I need you to find Evangeline."
I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Are you worried about her, Young Master?"
Ciel clenched his fists. "Stop mocking me, Sebastian. What I did was wrong, yes, but I do not need your input on the matter."
"Young Master, I did not state my opinion."
"You implied it," he growled.
I chuckled. The boy had become so angry that his eyes were now glowing red. It made me wonder if he took a liking to Miss Evangeline. Oh well, she belonged to me, and part of his was his fault. I had no idea what was running through his mind that day. Perhaps the little demon was filled with jealousy, but one cannot tell.
"Sebastian," he hissed. "This is an order. Go find Evangeline at once."
I smirked, got down on one knee, and placed a hand on my heart. "Yes, my lord." With that, I left the Earl to go find my beloved mate. I headed out towards a little meadow covered in snow; I could smell Evangeline's sweet scent. She had been here, but alas, she was gone now. Instead, I was greeted by an old friend, Aelwen.
Her red hair was still curly as ever, and her sapphire eyes twinkled when they saw me. Just one look at my former lover gave me a lump in my throat. She smiled wickedly at me and glided over to where I stood.
"Hello, my dear. I here you go by the name Sebastian now," she whispered with that same melodic voice.
I nodded. "It is nice to see you again, Aelwen."
She gently kissed my cheek and smiled. "It has been ages since I last saw you, darling."
I sighed. "Yes, it has, my dear." I replied. The demoness took my hand and started walking.
"Rumor has it that your heart belongs to an angel," she said as we walked.
"Yes, she is my mate."
Aelwen stopped walking and glared at me. "How foolish are you, Sebastian? She cannot love an angel?"
I narrowed my eyes at her. "And who made those rules?"
Aelwen snorted. "We are opposites. This is not some silly Shakespeare play, my love. Many demons have casted you down as a love sick schoolboy. Is this really what you have become? Remember when you use to be feared? You would use your charms to seduce humans before taking their souls. You were lust itself. Now, you have become human. What if you become an angel again? What if you repent?"
I laughed. "Aelwen, jealousy does not suit you very well. I shall never become an angel, my dear. I think that is impossible. I chose the path I wanted to go down, and I cannot change my fate."
"So you think. Please, Sebastian, forget about the angel. Come back to me."
I shook my head. "I do not love you."
She clenched her fists. "We are demons! We do not love! All we know is hunger and lust."
"I am an exception." Aelwen walked over to me and smirked. She passionately kissed me, and I tried to pull her off, but she had a death grip on my shoulders.
Evangeline's POV
I heard voices coming from the meadow and decided to see what was going on. I had been staying here for a week now, and I was afraid that someone would eventually come to find me. I know Gloria had told me to go back to Sebastian, but I just could not bring myself to do it. Half of me loathed him, and half of me completely loved him with all my heart. I had never felt so confused in my life. I walked out to the meadow to see Sebastian with some woman. My eyes widened; he was kissing her. I clenched my fists and stormed out towards the demon without thinking. My anger had gotten the best of me, and I was going to give that monster hell. He glanced over at me, not saying a word. I smacked the demon across the face, and Sebastian was left speechless.
The girl tried to say something, but I had already knocked her to the ground unconscious. "You bastard!" I yelled.
Sebastian sighed and looked down. "You do not understand my angel."
"The hell I don't…"
He put his arms around me and pulled me close. I started to thrash in his arms.
"Stop it, Sebastian! I do not love you, and I am not your angel!"
He sighed and brushed a lose strand of hair from my face. "I know you do not mean that, my love. I am sorry for my actions. I know you are upset, and I do not condemn you. I lost control of myself."
I looked up at Sebastian and sighed. "I need time, Sebastian. Time to think."
He looked down at me. "Time is of the essence. Something is brewing."
I nodded. "Yes, war."
Sebastian's eyes widened. "What did you say?"
"There shall be a second war, and we have to choose sides. This could affect our relationship, Sebastian."
He gently kissed me. "I will always stay by your side, my angel. Let the war come, but I will be there with you till the end. We shall defeat the archangels and those who want to stand in our way."
I shook my head. "The demons have pledged their allegiance to the archangels. If you fight with the righteous, you shall be redeemed, Sebastian. It will be treason for you as a demon. You shall go back to your angelic ways."
Sebastian's eyes widened, and he did not reply. This would be a difficult choice for him. He could let the archangels kill me, or he could help protect me and become an angel again. I really did not want to be alone in this, but I feared that might be what happens in the end. Once again, I would be an outcast and lose everything I loved. I shall always be alone…
A/N: So, there we go! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Please leave your reviews for me to read. It would be greatly appreciated. Hope you guys have a wonderful rest of the day.
