I fell to the ground, gasping I heard the late bell ringing through my skull. I tried to invert my attention away from the ringing noise but it almost seemed like my mind didn't want to forget my father's death. I grabbed my hair, as I felt the tear splatter around me, the mental break down getting the best of me, but I still fought to now scream.
I felt the stares of other students walk past me, their whispers of concern and scorn bouncing around in the cavern of my mind. I lost all hope of something good happening until I felt a large hand rest on my shoulder. "Go away. . ." I sighed to that person as I finally curled into a ball to try to disappear from the world.
"Now, is that really something you say to someone who you've summoned?" A voice whispered into my ear. Confused, I looked up to see this person that I have summoned and gasped. There standing behind me was a tall and attractive man, one that you'd see in a movie. But, what was different about this man from any other human was that sitting on the top of his black, longish hair that reached to the back of his beck were a pair of spiral horns that rose about a foot above his head. Some of his spiky bangs covered his eye, but the other eye, masculine shaped, was a deep crimson red—almost like blood.
"Who are you?" I whispered as I continued taking him in. A black muscle shirt showed off his slim but muscle arms and he wore a pair of black pants, tight on him but not like skinny jeans.
"Do you really need to ask?" Was all he said back as a pair of black wings rose from his back. I wanted to cry. What was an archangel doing at my school—better question, why is he right next to me?
"Have I sinned? Am I going to die?" I whispered, the tears threatening to pour over. The man just smirked as he folded his wings back. "No, that's Death's—my under general—job." His words didn't soothe me as I attempted to back away from him, but the cold metal of the lockers just greeted me, as if they are giving me their last farewell as I am going to be taken by the Dark Lord.
"I do not see why you're quivering in fear when you are the one that summoned me." The man shifted so that his shoulder would rest against the locker, moving his right wing so that it wouldn't be trapped under his weight.
"S-summoned?" I questioned him. I wouldn't have dared tried to summon the Dark Lord. "How would I summon you?"
"The book." The man said, as he reached towards me. All my senses kicked in as I tried to run away from him, but that mostly lead to the action where I trip on my cloth backpack and land sprawled out. "Quit it, kid, I am not trying to kill you. . . Yet." I gulped at that last part before sitting up once more, staring into those crimson eyes.
"Now be a good boy and not struggle." The man murmured as he reached once more, but this time by my foot before taking my backpack. He shuffled around inside of it, scoffing at some of its contents but nothing interested him, until he finally stopped moving my utensils. The Dark Lord pulled out the book that I purchased from that book store and waved it at my confused face.
"Where did you get this book?" He asked, dropping it into my lap. The title How To Make Your Wish Come True seemed to mock me as shaking fingers enclosed around it. "I-I got this at a bookstore. . . Maybe that's why there was something fishy about that day. . .But that doesn't change the fact that I summoned you! I read the first two pages of that book and flipped through the rest, I did none of those incantations!"
The man smirked and then took the book from me. It rested on his chest so that both me and the book could mock my stupidity. "Well, let me explain its powers." I blinked waiting for what he has to say next. "It differs for people." I blinked once more, my confusion levels going up higher than they normally should. "In your case," He looked deep into my blue eyes.
"You had a wish, hence the name of the book. Did you perhaps. . .cry recently?" Satan moved towards me, his black wing brushing along my cheekbone. "Y-yes?" I answered him, not feeling as scared as before. I was terrified but yet I was awed by how this little book in his hands could cause all of this.
"Then clearly your negative emotions brought me here. You're in an unrequited love and cried a few minutes ago over some weird flashback and now you're—" I cut him off by waving my arms at him.
"How did you know that I was in an unrequited love?" I asked him, crossing my arms. The demon just looked at me with an amused twinkle in his eye, probably the most emotion that he showed me so far. "It was just a lucky guess." He murmured.
"Okay, this is just crazy. I swear, I'm just dreaming!" I cried out, standing up and turned to my locker. "I'm sure that if I slam my head against the locker a couple times, my real mind would know that it is time to wake up."
"Good luck." The Dark Lord said in a bored manner as he was about to witness me going crazy and smash my temple in.
"Ciel?" Someone called into the locker room. I stopped, just centimeters away from smashing my head in. Great, who is it now?
"Ciel? I know you're in here. Ms. Shoryu wants you to come into the office soon for the physical checkup. She realized that all the boys aren't in the room yet." The voice called out, a sweet familiar voice that made me dig through my head to find out who it is. The person's footsteps tapped on the tiled floor as they tried to find me, while I on the head was frozen on the ground under the gaze of Satan and the swirling thoughts of who it is.
"Ciel. Stop hiding." The person said right next to me. "Eek!" I squeaked, not realizing that it was really Alois standing over me. "O-ohayo." I whispered. Alois shook his head before grabbing under my arms to hoist me up. I stumbled a little onto him and continued blushing.
"Really Ciel, stop acting like you're drunk, you're not that type of person to act like this, especially before a checkup." Alois stated, holding the door open for me. Before I fully exited the room, I looked back to see if Satan was still standing there staring at me, but there was nothing to be seen. Almost as if it had never happened.
Our footsteps echoed for a bit, resounding through the empty hallway as we made the long trip to the nurse's office. . .or maybe the auditorium since we had a big batch of new kids in our school and clearly that nurse's office only had a certain capacity to fit kids in. . .much less than the whole school. We turned a corner and kept walking. I swallowed the spit that was forming up in the back of my throat, almost like it was forming just to choke me in front of my love.
"Ciel . . ." Alois murmured. I turned my head to face him, but he wasn't doing the same. His face was still looking straight but his blue eyes were boring into mine. "Where were you today?" He asked forcibly.
I blushed again and looked at my hands. This is the first time that I'm talking to him without involving him being in the Church or him disappearing on me. "I was in the locker room with my friend." I just wanted to keep it safe for now, who knows how Alois would react if I told him that my "friend" was the Dark Lord himself.
I saw Alois tilt his head in confusion. "Friend? I don't remember seeing anyone else in there, nor did the nurse call for someone else. . ." He trailed off and I just laughed loudly, thinking that is the best path that I should take. Make a distraction and then a lie to confuse him.
"I think I might've hit my head this morning and now I'm hallucinating!" I laughed nervously. Alois stopped tilting his head now that things made a little more sense.
"Well, here we are." Alois announced when we stopped right in front of the doors of our giant auditorium. I peaked in and saw how filled the room was. I was right! I triumphed in my head when I knew that we weren't going to meet in the nurse's office. When I turned back to thank Alois, his hand was hovering up in the air and a faraway look was in his eyes. Alois noticed my look and put down his hand sheepishly. "Well. . .um. . .I'll be going now to my classmates. . .Make sure that you tell the nurse about your head." He said before running off into the dark room.
"What was that?" I asked myself, before stepping into the room myself. I felt the stares of boys looking at me as if they were trying to figure out if I was a girl or not, but I ignored them. The only thoughts in my head was that sheepish look on Alois face and how cute his voice was when he was concerned.
"So, that's the guy that you want to make fall in love with you?" A voice asked me from behind. I flinched and held back a yelp so I didn't attract any unwanted attention to myself. I turned around and glared at Satan not caring what he is capable of doing.
"Seriously, what do you want? You are getting no merits by following me." I said turning around to face him. His crimson eyes bore into my blue ones.
"Didn't you know that anyone that releases me from that book would be killed?" He asked with a smirk. "And good timing too. It has been a while since I have devoured a soul. I was starting to believe that I was never going to receive another soul again." He chuckled slightly moving towards me. I attempted to move away, but my legs froze with fear as my eyes watched this demon move towards me with grace. Grace? I wondered to myself. Can Death itself even be graceful?
When Satan's face came to be about centimeters away from mine, his cold atmosphere seeping into my flesh causing me to quiver in fear. I knew that I was going to die. In front of all these people, not that it would bother them since about a majority of them did not know that I exist, but that's not the point. What about Alois? Was I never going to see him again? I squeezed my eyes shut as I felt the spiky, but surprisingly soft hair brush against my cheek.
I am Ciel Phatomhive. I am a seventeen year old virgin who's going to die alone without kissing the one that I love, much less even dating them. I sighed sadly as I realized how pathetic my whole life seemed up to this point. "What are you waiting for? Just get it over with. It's not like anyone is going to care." I mumbled into the demon's ear. I felt Satan tense up next to me, almost as though he wasn't expecting me to say that to him.
"What do you mean?" He asked in a low voice, moving away from my neck to look into my eyes in the dark lighting. I tilted my face away so I didn't have to look directly at him, but instead stared at the principal that was calling names of students who were up next for their examination.
"Why aren't you killing me? Aren't you a starving beast in need for a soul? Well, you have a pathetic one right here. Someone that hasn't done anything in their life. I love Alois but he'll never love me back!" I yelled at Satan as the tears rolled down my cheeks. "Why don't you end me already. I don't want to keep suffering this one-sided love." Whispering this last part, I slumped down to the ground.
"You humans are so interesting." He stated, his tone of voice not making him sound surprised at all. "Fine then. Ciel Phantomhive, I will grant your wish." I glanced up at him, his features showing through from the darkness, his red eyes glowing in a Hellish way. "But there's going to be a catch."
Mwhahaaha, what is this catch that Satan/ Sebastian has in mind for Ciel Phantomhive?
