I stared at the carnage before me and felt nothing; no sorrow, no regret, no anger…just…nothing. The man who had tortured me for information had been ripped to shreds and I was now left with the horrific realisation that I may have escaped death this time, but next time may be much worse. I felt a hand rest on my shoulder and I flinched not realising my saviour had now crouched in front of me. He raised an eyebrow and grabbed my chin with his free hand and made it so I was forced to look him in the eye.

"Mistress I think it best we leave, don't you agree?" I blinked stupidly into his glowing eyes and slowly nodded. My body, it seemed, was still sluggish and disoriented from everything that had happened.

"Are you able to walk?" I thought for a moment and slowly got to my feet. I stood on the spot for a moment before taking a cautious step forward…and then my legs gave out from beneath me. I closed my eyes awaiting the impact of my body hitting the floor when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I looked up and there he was again, saving me.

"It appears you cannot…very well. I will carry you" I was lifted with ease and he carried me bridal style to the doorway when he paused and looked down at me.

"Where shall I take you, Mistress?"

"Celine" He frowned and tilted his head.

"Pardon?" I looked away – his pale eyes unnerving me.

"My name is Celine not Mistress…if this arrangement is going to work then you have to call me Celine" He thought on this and then nodded smirking down at me.

"Of course, Celine" I felt a shiver down my spine at how he said my name and mentally gave myself a slap. Oh really, Celine? Now is not the time.

"What's your name?"

"What would you like to call me?" I snorted.

"I asked your name – what do you not have one?" His eyes narrowed and I felt mine widen as I realised that I just back talked a fucking demon. Seconds passed in tense silence before he looked straight ahead and began walking.

"I am rather fond of the name Zeke" I thought it was a stupid ass name but hey I wasn't going to argue with a demon and I had asked him his preference.

"Okay Zeke…take me home" I told him where I lived and he nodded in understanding.

"Hold on tight little human" I wrapped my arms around his neck and gripped on tight as his walking speed increased until he was full out running – faster than any human could. The wind cut into my skin and I had to close my eyes against it. I felt more than heard him chuckle as we slowed down. I felt Zeke lower me to the floor and I opened my eyes to find myself in my living room. I let go instantly and stepped away from the demon.

"How…how did you get inside?" Zeke rolled his eyes and pointed to himself.

"I'm a demon, remember? You think something as small as a lock will stop me entering a home?" I felt myself blush with embarrassment as I realised he was right. There's so much I need to learn…Sure I had Sebastian with me when I was growing up but he wasn't my demon. I had no idea what my responsibilities were as owner of the contract – what did Zeke expect of me? As I was pondering all this Zeke inspected me from head to toe. He gave a small hum of approval.

"You have very beautiful eyes, Celine" I found it odd that he would complement me on my eyes of all things but I gave him a polite smile all the same – how often did demons hand out compliments?

"Thank you" He took a step closer and pushed a strand of hair from my face. I didn't like the look he had in his eyes.

"When a demon makes a contract, a seal must be placed on both the human and the demon"

"Yes, I am aware" He raised his eyebrows and smirked.

"Oh really? Then you must be aware, Celine, that you are not yet marked" My eyes widened with understanding and I backed away from the demon.

"T-that's fair…where w-will it go?" I cursed myself for stumbling over my words but the fear had crept up on me. I didn't want to be branded and I knew it would hurt. Zeke eyed me up and appeared to be in thought.

"The more visible the mark the stronger the bond…and you are far too delicious for me to allow a weak bond" His eyes flicked up to mine and I understood. I gasped and fell to my knees as a sudden burning ran through my head. I tried to scream but no sound came out. A stinging sensation took over and it was all too much – I knew I was going to throw up. As I felt the pressure rise from my stomach it all went away. Like nothing had ever happened. I looked up from my kneeling position to see Zeke gritting his teeth – more in annoyance than pain – and noticed a seal similar to Sebastian's on his left hand. He looked down at me and knelt beside me cupping my face in his hands. Tears had sprung from my eyes and he wiped them from my cheeks as they fell.

"There. Now there is no escaping from me, Celine" He gave me a feral grin and rose, walking away from me.

"Until told otherwise I will act as your butler, Celine. I will protect and care for you until the terms of our contract are met and, when they are, I will take great pleasure in devouring your soul" He disappeared from the room and I heard the faint sound of movement coming from the kitchen. He was making food? I clutched at my chest as I felt my breathing get out of control and bowed my head focusing on the simple in and out. When I had calmed down I stood and moved to a nearby mirror. I stared, unfeeling, at the girl in front of me and raised a shaking hand to cover my left eye. In my reflection, I saw Celine Rose; outspoken singer with a pretty little face and her whole life ahead of her. Slowly, so slowly, I lowered my hand and that image was shattered. The girl in front of me had the same blonde hair, the same build, the same blue eye…but this girl was no longer Celine. The glowing mark of a demon stood out against her pale blue eye and I knew I could never be the same girl anymore. My days were numbered and I would die without a family and husband around me. No, I would die at the hands of a demon and I asked for this. My lips set into a hard line as I glared at my reflection. Stupid girl why did you ask for this? But I knew why. That man had told me there were others, more people like him. What if I wasn't the only person they had captured? What if there were other people being tortured for information…I had unknowingly called out to Zeke for him to save my life, but that wasn't the full terms of our contract. I wanted these people to suffer, to know that they will not get away with this. I held my head high as I turned my back on my reflection and took a seat on one of the chairs. No point in worrying now…what's done is done. I looked to my right and saw Zeke had changed, somehow, into a white shirt with a waistcoat and tie and into a pair of rather smart looking trousers. He held a serving tray in one hand and placed the other one over his heart.

"I have prepared a pot of earl grey for you, Celine" He poured the drink and placed it on the table in front of me and I took a sip. It was good. I licked my lips, thinking, and turned to Zeke.

"I need you to do something for me" He nodded once and smiled.

"Of course" I placed my cup down and took a deep breath.

"I need you to contact someone for me. They can help us with finding whoever those people who captured me are" Zeke frowned down at me.

"I am perfectly capable of doing this myself, Celine" I noted a tone of annoyance but chose to ignore it.

"Yes but they can make this go faster…that is what you want, right? You want to get this whole thing over with as fast as possible so you can…eat me?" Zeke's eyes narrowed slightly before he composed himself. He gave a low bow.

"Yes, Celine. Who is it I am to get in contact with?" I gestured towards the desk in the corner of the room.

"Ciel Phantomhive. His address will be in the top drawer…please do not mention anything to him other than I need his help…" Zeke nodded and left my side. In all honesty I didn't want to die any faster than I needed to but I did want those men to suffer and the quicker we found them the quicker that could happen. I watched as Zeke wrote the letter and wondered about what would happen when he and Sebastian met. Do demons get along? I shook my head and leaned back against the seat.

This is going to be fun.
