Chapter 25

"Sebastian…"

I heard the shuffling stop as I turned around to see him looking at me pausing at the cell gate.

"Yes" He said resting the padlock on the grill

"The contract….I don't want to do it anymore"

I watched my master turn around and looked at me and smiled.

A smile that was most definitely asking inquisitively what I meant by that. I knew that what I wanted was something I was asking abruptly, but everything was just coming to a weird twisted conclusion that I didn't want to face.

"What?" he said turning around completely his body language stating that he was quite taken back yet it remained collected as his posture quickly relaxed.

I repeated what I had said hoping that he would understand

"No-no don't say that again but what would make you say that Sanelle, so suddenly too"

I was quiet for a moment thinking of how to answer him, "There's no point in this anymore I mean…..Your becoming…useless to me" I said afterwards.

Yes….that's right….I only did the contract to help me forget, it wasn't working, time for a new resolve.

He walked over to me and looked at me sitting down on the bed edge. "You seem to be forgetting something"

"Huh"

"You are….a human. You are a woman not to mention that you are way by far, a weak feeble human being and you are considering ending the contract with me?"

I blinked; I didn't like the idea of where this was going.

"What do you think a contract is? A toy, a deal, a pause and play button?" A grin was across his face but his voice showed no play.

"I- It's just becoming irrelevant"

He frowned, "Sanelle, ending a contract does not exist, a contract ends when it is fulfilled and I have your soul. If the contract ends otherwise. Your soul is destroyed and you die"

I looked at him. That's crazy something so…risking exist?

"I want to end it why do I have to die" I said looking at him

"Sanelle, why do you even want to end it?"

I remained quiet. I don't want him to know that.

"Sanelle, you're having sleepless nights, it's obvious, you're off edge and I can more than read practically about everything about you right now. I know why you did this contract and I know that you have a disruptive past. But is that the reason why you want to end it, something about your past."

I looked at him….how could I lie to him. How could I look at him and not tell him. Regardless of our contract relationships there was a bond, I felt open to him.

"Aummm, I'm having reflections of the death of my mother….and when I was turned into…this"

He looked at me peculiarly

"You seem like you're acquainted with that incident" I asked.

Foolish question.

Everyone was familiar with that incident when in the upper class.

"Well, I- I have heard about the incident before"

I figured as much. I figured that something like that would be his reply, of course he would know. He is a part of the upper-class and he would have definitely known about it.

"Sanelle I know only that it was a horrible death, I want to know…..does her death possibly have something to do with your two souls- We are-"

"I know why I have two souls"

"I see….but may I – know the story"

I looked at him, "Why would you?"

"Stop running away from it and tell me. Tell me about it, if you keep running away it it will continue luring."

He had a point….Your the first to hear this story.

"I see"

"After I tell you, d-don't turn against me and I hope your reputation of me- I hope- it doesn't change"

He looked at me for a while.

"The story it's very, gruesome…and twisted….it broke m…for a long while"

"Broke?"

"After witnessing it, I went into a shock after it and I was brain dead for 3 months. For 3 years I didn't speak and I when I began…you barely heard my voice. I- I just-I completely broke down"

"Sanelle, if I'm right…it shouldn't be so bad, your mother past away and you witnessed her death, I doubt I heard anything about her being sickly-"

"Past-away….so that's the story you got" I said a slight humor in my voice. "She died an awful death before me…it was more than a death it was a battle a horrible terrifying experience."

"You make it sound as if a war took place before her famous last words"

I looked at him

A war….you can call it that.

"Sanelle, I don't know what you experience is about but I won't think-"

"Even after you find out"

"Even after I find out" He said finally.

I looked at him and looked away wondering if I was making the right decision planning to tell him this. How would he truly react to it and how would he see me afterwards. Even if he says that am I sure that deep inside he's saying something completely different.

It's just as he said. I'm a human and he's a demon. My story probably might have no purpose or difference to him. Probably at the end of the day I would fall in the same slot that I already am, the one where regardless of who I am or what I do, I'm an eternal slave.

Coming back to reality I realized that his finger was twirling in the end of my locks and he seemed rather intrigued in that instead of anything else. He looked at me smiling slightly I knew what it meant. I could take my time and tell him.

Yes of course. I was a human. He indeed was a demon, but he was also Sebastian Michealis, a demon in which I've been contracted to for the past two years. In my experience never once had he judged me turned away or malice me. Instead…He made me prouder, both in myself and my body

Especially my body

"I'm happy…I can tell you this, my fear, my sin…my crime"

"Crime? Sanelle…now your intriguing me even more, exactly what lies in this past of yours?"

"Everything…that's not to be known, everything that's the opposite of me"

"Everything….about your past?"

"Yes…..the day my mother tried to kill me….and I killed her"

I watched his movements stop and my hair fell loose from his hand.

His lips curled into a grin and I watched his eyes dance in surprise and amazement.

"Sanelle Collonae, exactly…who are you"
