Chapter 6
"Did you just say….you were once his master?"
"Yes"
I blinked.
"Sebastian and I formed a contract….i was his master and he was my loyal butler"
You mean…the roles were different…..What happened, what was it like…why is it different now?
Almost like he had heard my many questions, he looked at me with a frown.
"You want answers don't you?"
I nodded, many
The moment pulled on, he spoke, I listened, he told stories while I ate. It was unbelievable.
Regardless of the fact that Sebastian was a butler and that it was all a contract. The fact still remained that they experiences, made memories…..knew each other…had a bond.
Sebastian was a demon. Ciel was a human. Sebastian was strong, intelligent, handsome, powerful, and fearful and he still was. Ciel was an inheriter from the Phantomhive family also known as the queens watchdog. He was young, innocent, rich and high class and now….wasn't. In the end of it all, Ciel ended up becoming a demon himself and to make it worst….he and Sebastian were still contracted.
"So….how did this happen?"
He remained silent for a while and then sighed.
"It happened two years ago….6 months before you came.
2 years ago, before
"A bet" Ciel asked looking at Sebastian quizzically
"A bet…" he repeated with a sly smile
Ciel looked at Sebastian and grinned, "What's on the table?"
"If you win….you'll get what you want, complete possession of me, my body."
Ciel frowned, he knew, he knew that I liked him, and it wasn't the like of having favor, but the sexual like that pulled me to him. I was just one hundred and forty one year old, the body of a teenager yet I'm a male and I….fell in love with another male. "I don't just want your body" Ciel said softly
Sebastian raised his eyebrow.
"I want your heart, your soul, your love"
Sebastian glared at him. "A relationship?"
"Yes"
Sebastian remained quiet and poured him a cup of Earl Grey.
"Say something Sebastian"
"You're asking for much"
"I'm asking for your love"
"That's impossible"
"Demons can love, I know that because that's what…..it's what…..it's what I have for you"
Sebastian paused and looked at him. When will he stop, it's not that I don't like you Ciel, its uncomfortable to put my feelings towards you…I see you as many things, just not the person I want by my side to love.
"Your asking for much" Sebastian said truthfully
Ciel remained quiet and stared at him.
"If you want that…then in return, you'll be my servant. I will toy with you to my hearts desire"
"For how long"
"Eternity"
"WHAT!"
"That how long we'd be together right"
Ciel paused, he was right, he wanted Sebastian all to himself, for as long as possible, to hold and to love. He had nothing. He had no manor no servants no fiancé' nothing at all. All he had was Sebastian. As he stayed with him longer and longer living in a new manor in a different place he had grown to love him, to admire him, to cherish him, to want him.
"Deal"
"Great…now to tell you what we're betting on." Sebastian said with a grin.
After the bet.
Sebastian fell to his knees. It happened. The bet was over. The winner was set. There was no turning back. It was time for the conditions to be laid. He watched his hand rip through the concrete pavement. What was this running through him, what was this moving through him so fast he could hardly imagine? He looked up at Ciel. There was victory…..possession….it was all in the air. Soaking the surrounding range of oxygen and carbon dioxide swallowing it whole. He gulped and watched Ciel. He didn't even see it coming. What was this feeling?
A smile crept over Ciel's face and he looked down on Sebastian. His hand on his cane his body flowing with energy his mind saying one word, everything was silent.
Sebastian stared back on the ground and then…
This feeling…..the thing moving through me-running through me so fast…..
Is excitement.
He ripped off the tie and tossed it aside and spoke.
"Sebastian Michealis…..dismissed"
He stood up and watched as Ciel bowed before him with a smile on his face.
"I should have known" The boy said softly, "When I was human I could only participate in your world, when I am a demon I only get a chance in your world, but because I loved you, I thought I could defeat you" He looked up on Sebastian and grinned, "But I was wrong"
"Very" The demon said with a smile. "You can begin by staying in the servant's quarter and learn the etiquettes of a servant. I'll think about the many ways to torture you"
"Yes…"
"Yes…" Sebastian said in a half sentence wanting Ciel to finish
"My lord"
Ciel looked up at Sebastian terrified at the glare in his eyes….everything was going to be over now.
From that moment it changed. Ciel wasn't sure if he would call it love…but the torture he received was painful. The equipments made him shiver; Sebastian's smiled made his skin crawl, and the pain he felt ripped him apart. He was beginning to love him…
Less
And less
Until.
Ciel was in the kitchen when he heard the door open. He was beginning to ask himself why it was that Sebastian had stayed out so many nights. He knew he was an entepaneor and a good one too. But without even making an appearance he could manage everything by the lift of a finger. Yet he was out, doing work and to make it better, that meant less time for Ciel, and less time meant no torture. He liked the sound of that.
A scent entered his nose and damn it smelt good. It was the scent…
Of a very delicious soul.
He walked ahead out of the kitchen and went into the hall to see Sebastian walking with….a woman.
"What's that?" he asked disgust ringing on the word as he stared at the unconscious girl. A thought that pondered was whether she was a slut or a prostitute and Sebastian decided to bring it home for home service. But sadly, she didn't look the type
She looked like a woman of class and quality. Something a prostitute did not possess. She was in his hand bridal style with a dress of silky fabric laced nicely on her body outlining her defined shape that made her an average yet perfect woman. She had light ivory skin a little pale but one that had a tint of color in it. Her hair had a foxy brown. It wasn't dry or too silky and wavy. But it had that rich brown with a nice softness in it with a feel natural highlights and general waves and curls. Although it was falling and swinging through the gentle breeze. It was obvious that it suited her frame. He went further on her features, she had thick long lashes, he wondered what color her eyes were but she seemed asleep or more of unconscious. Her lips were red and full and one of her hand was ungloved other than that she was beyond compare to most woman he had ever seen. Sad to say she was even more beautiful than madam red, his deceased aunt. She was on the same level as hiss beautiful mother, the one that had died many years ago. He sighed and looked at Sebastian.
"Who is she?"
"Why should I tell you, but since you're curious, she's my new servant" He bragged
You just said you wouldn't tell me but here you are spouting everything.
"She has too souls" He finished
"Two"
"Yes, I contracted with one but I have the tasty soul of her mother to myself and trust me I would be delighted to have the other too"
"Wait- If your contracted to her, why s she your servant"
"She wanted it that way, she wanted pain, madness" He continued and Ciel's mouth dropped. The woman Sebastian was contracted with was different from the woman he was holding. She looked so fragile, so weak, so unbelievingly….pure. Yet she made a contract?
"Don't touch" Sebastian said as he watched Ciel reaching to touch the woman.
"What will you do with her" He said pulling away
"She's my new pet; I'll do any and everything in every possible way."
Ciel turned away not giving a glance back at her.
"Isn't she beautiful" Sebastian said smiling, "My new servant…or should I say….my Sanelle Collonae"
Ciel grew irritated day after day….this woman came and then suddenly, suddenly he was dust compared to her. He had to cook for her, clean her room when she was asleep, bring her food for her and dress her wounds. How could Sebastian even put up with her! She was as quiet as a mouse! Every single time after her torture she fell asleep, well at least she made it. Out of pity or mercy Sebastian would stop hurting Ciel and upset at his mere weakness he would stop and leave. Luckily this girl was able to withstand it.
He didn't like her, yet at the times she was sleeping he had the opportunity to touch her, her skin was smooth and her hair was soft. Unlike his torture with Sebastian, he would run nails through his hand or run a board through his thing, but he realized something with her. Something that Sebastian did when torturing her.
He never punched her
He never hit her directly with the hand out of anger
He never pierced her skin
He never penetrated her with objects
He never sliced her
He never removed her limbs
He never removed one of her organs
He never did anything that would break the skin and have blood run out.
He only internally broke her bones, damaged her muscles, make her feel agonizing pain, but he never allowed her to bleed, not once.
Sebastian treated her too well for a slave. Too kind for a pet. Too soft for a replacement. He began to realize that Sebastian spent most of his time in her dungeon. He grew attached to her. He dedicated his midday time to 1 to 2 hours of playing the piano that clearly could be heard in the dungeon for her. This was bad. He didn't like this. He then realized he was jealous, feeling began brewing, dormant feelings, and he began to love Sebastian
More
And more
2 years After, Now
I looked at him and watched as he rose up walking away from the table.
"Sebastian will be here any minute to torture you….I should take my leave"
"Ciel" I said softly not wanting him to go.
This child….he was in love with master….he wanted his feelings to reach him in a bet…but he lost.
"Ciel" I rose up and walked to reach out to him
He hated him….but jealousy was born….and he loved him
Ciel turned to me
He's scared…he's lost….he's in love
"I'm sorry"
The steps on the stairs filled my room and Ciel eyes widened. "I must go"
"Wait" And off he went. I turned around walking to the center of the room holding my head down my body shaking with sadness.
Is this a joke…..is this real…is this a trick. A child in love, regardless if its with someone older, or worse a man, yet, there is still love. How could you do this? You must realize it, he told you, he told you how he felt! He told you what he thought of you and the fact he placed his pride and dignity on the line to just have you return his feelings. Just to be loved. Just to be held. Just to be told….that he's not alone! He was no longer human; no longer normal….he was a demon, lost everything, all that he had….was you. And you turned against him. You turned him into this?!
The door of the dungeon opened and the cell door creaked as my master stepped in.
I'm sorry Ciel but I have to do it.
I watched his grin fall as I felt the tear run down my cheeks endlessly as my fists clentched tighter.
"How could you?"
