Ciel stepped up to the door. The demon was dead, knocking would do know good and if he had any servants they were likely gone. Well perhaps Hannah lived here, though such things would be much too convenient.
Still he tried the door and it eased open. Ciel listened intently but heard nothing. He stepped over the threshold quickly stepping into the dark front hall before someone noticed him breaking into a dead guys house. He wasn't sure if there was a law in hell and he wasn't keen on finding out.
The place was barren everything had been moved or perhaps stolen. He frowned, if the entire place was this empty there would be no trace of Hannah. Ciel moved forward quickly and hissed stepping back abruptly as his cheek hit something.
A small wire so thin it was virtually invisible, but also extremely sharp. It had sliced right through Ciels skin leaving a scratch on his cheek. droplets of blood oozed from it.
Ciel tilted his head and grimaced; looked at at the right angle with the light provided by the dusty windows one could see a web of wire like threads spread throughout. A built in security system.
This was going to be a bit more difficult than he thought. Ciel rubbed his sleeve over the cut on his cheek smearing the blood. The small cut was already starting to heal. He had sufficient healing but again it was nothing like he'd seen Sebastian do.
Ciel moved through the house hissing, his maneuvers were so completely ungraceful that at every turn he was being sliced. By the time he came to the first room his clothes and skin were littered with tiny lacerations.
The room was a study it too was empty except for a large desk. There were no webs inside the room and Ciel was glad he could move freely it had taken him much longer than necessary to make it this far.
He moved around the desk opening drawers and shuffling through the loose papers left behind. It was all politics there was nothing on Hannah Annafellows. There were plenty of other names in the files. He had never heard of any of them and Ciel slumped. He felt so defeated /obviously/ there would be nothing on a Hannah. Demons were given names by their masters Hannah's real name was unknown to him.
he knew this before but the excitement that he might finally have a lead had made him forget about that information. He threw the papers down in anger and they glided through the air spilling onto the floor.
"Now what could you be looking for?" Ciel jumped and turned quickly, leaning against the door was a demon. He had long black hair all the way down the middle of his back tied at the neck with a blue ribbon. He looked calculating and Ciel felt an aura of intimidation and authority emanating from him.
He almost reminded Ciel of Sebastian. The demon looked at him curiously taking him in and trying to figure him out. The demon stood walking around Ciel "I've never seen something like you, you're almost human, and your blood smells divine"
He leaned toward Ciel who stepped back; as he took the step back the demon in front of him disappeared. His back hit something soft and he turned his head the demon smiled at him and Ciel turned raising his hand swinging it in a motion to slap him away.
The demon dodged it but looked slightly shocked almost as though no one had ever dared to try and hit him before.
He grabbed ciels wrist tightly and ciel yelped "Let go!" He struggled "How dare you touch me you filthy demon" He yelled
"Me, filthy?" He looked amused and ciel glared the man was much taller than the petite Ciel at the age of seventeen he looked only just 15.
He kicked his foot out at the demon. The man yanked his wrist up so Ciels feet were nearly off the ground his face level with the demons "Don't test me I have my pride after all" he smiled a secret smile like Sebastian used to when saying his favorite one hell of a butler line.
Ciel's claws extended and the man's eyes widened as they raked across his cheek. The other demon kept Ciels wrist tightly in his despite his shock and injury. Blood cascaded down his face, the blood was black instead of red like Ciels.
The man laughed loudly "You actually scratched my face, what a brave little thing you are. I think I'll keep you"
"Release me!"
"No. You are trespassing after all and as this is my territory I can do what I want" Ciel stared for a moment
"Your-?"
"Yes, you don't know who I am… you really are a strange new demon… I'll have good fun showing you off"
Ciel glared fiercely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LINEBREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sebastian was all set to leave. He even had some soul imbued food for his young master when he found him. The new demon was probably half starved.
He walked out of the house to see Leviathan petting Pluto emphatically. "Brother" she smiled at him "where on earth did you get a demon hound from?"
"He's a stray that wandered in" Pluto whined at Sebastian but stayed with Leviathan letting her pet him "Why are you here?"
"Can't a girl visit her brother just to" She replied innocently. Sebastian raised an eyebrow and Leviathan smirked
"We've been called Beelzebub has asked for a meeting. I can only assume its important" she shrugged "I came to fetch you"
"Obviously" he said shortly. His fuse was running short, he was so close to Ciel and now he was being haled away.
Leviathan pouted and Sebastian sighed trying to calm himself. it would not do to anger her as she would cause trouble.
"You can have him when I'm done with him" he gestured to Pluto. Leviathan perked right up
"Really?" then she paused "What are you going to do with him… I thought you said he was a stray"
"He is" Sebastian didn't elaborate and his sister frowned
"What are you hiding Sonneillon?"
"Nothing of your concern, come now we don't want to be late"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LINEBREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were back at Lucifers this time in a sitting room instead of the dining room. The furniture was plush and fit for royalty.
Beelzebub was the last to arrive. He smiled at them all.
Berith looked annoyed throwing his knife at a dartboard "Well spit it out I was in the middle of something"
Sebastian actually felt bad for the poor demon with whom his brother was /busy/ with.
"I found a very unusual little demon today"
Asmodeus gave his brother a look "If you called us here just to show off your little pet you better be willing to share"
Sebastian was not amused he turned ready to leave he had more important business to attend to than going along with his eldest brother's whims
"I'm no one's pet! Release me at once I demand it"
Sebastian stopped short stiffening.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LINEBREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ciel was not pleased as he was carried in by two of Beelzebub's servants. He heard one man call him a pet and ask if he would share and the thought made Ciel's skin crawl. He hadn't felt that way since Viscount Druitt tried to feel him up.
"I'm no one's pet" He yelled in defiance prince of hell or not. "Release me at once I demand it"
The other demons laughed, Berith moved forward to stand in front of Ciel
"Demand it? Who are you to demand anything?"
"Well I'm certainly more than you" he bit out keeping a cold mask on over his emotion, he would not let them see his fear.
Berith's siblings laughed at him and the demon scowled he moved quickly his knife heading for the jugular. Ciel flinched closing his eyes but the pain never came.
He opened his eyes slowly to see the knife at his neck half a centimeter away from his skin; two gloved fingers grasped its blade stopping its motion.
Berith glared up at the demon who tsked lightly. "Now now brother letting such a small demon get you all riled up" he said it in such a degrading tone before taking the knife and flicking it absentmindedly at the dartboard, it hit the bullseye.
Berith scowled his eyes flashing for a moment before he turned away haughtily
Ciel recognized that dark velvety voice, he slowly looked up his azure eye meeting blood red ones and the familiar inky black hair that framed the demons handsome face.
"Sebastian?"
AN: They meet at last!
