I know you guys have been waiting for this, so here it is! Damon's finally getting her sight back! XD It was beginning to become a pain to write this without using and sight words and I had to rewrite quite a few chapters because I kept forgetting she was blind part way through, but now she can see those crazy zombies that'll be popping up ^^
Warning! Mild sensual themes.
It's hard to write this part without them, so I apologize ahead of time if anyone dislikes it.
"Italic" communicated thoughts
"I hate you, demonic bastard."
"Is that so? I've been called worse things you know."
I looked over my shoulder where Sebastian's voice was as I faced the door, taking off the outer layers to my uniform. I knew this thing may get out of control, so I decided to lay down some ground rules in case Sebastian got any smart ideas.
"Whatever. There are some things I want you to promise to me before we start this crap. First off, don't put the damn mark anywhere overly visible or anywhere…inappropriate."
"Of course."
"Second," I held up two fingers as I approached the bed, already stripped down to my boxer shorts and bandages, and sat on the edge. "once the kiss is finished, you better not do it again or anything else. I may not be able to control myself afterward, and if that is true, I really don't need you teasing me or enticing me to do anything more. I don't care if you have to tie me up or hold me down the rest of the night, but I don't want anything more to happen after the pact is done. Got it?"
"Yes, Damon. I will listen to your…guidelines as much to my ability. Besides, it's no fun if you're not wanting as much as I am."
I glared at his voice as I felt his demonic energy surround the room, most likely covering it in darkness as he changed into his true form. I was thrown back onto the bed facedown, my arms held above my head by one hand as the other cut through some of the bandages.
"Geeze, get right down to business don't you. Hurry up and make the mark. I may be highly tolerable to pain, but that doesn't mean I enjoy-"
I was cut off as a single claw trailed down my lower back, cutting into me and leaving me with a burning sensation as it continued to move in a pattern too complicated to follow. My muscles were taunt and my back arched so that I was on my elbows, teeth clenched against the pain of his mark until finally, he stopped. I collapsed onto the bed, heart pounding in my ears and sweat rolling down my body, trying to catch my breath when he crushed his mouth against my own.
"Trying to breath here!"
He smirked against my lips and began to deepen it, tongue already slipping into my mouth. For some reason, I began to kiss back, despite there being to taste of blood yet. I began to enjoy it and wrapped my now free arms around his neck, feeling feathers as my hands trailed down to his back.
"I thought you didn't want anything more to happen? Wasn't that rule number two?"
"Fuck you."
"You're already trying to."
I pulled back to retort verbally when he kissed me softer this time, the metallic taste of blood touching my tongue briefly before burning it's way down my throat. My mind itself began to get foggy and I could feel my heart beat in every part of my body, unconsciously pulling Sebastian closer and biting the nape of his neck.
"Now Damon, you need to control yourself. If you don't, you will regret this more than you originally planned."
I didn't bother answering him, but I did pull back as my head began pounding. For some reason, my mind wanted Sebastian but my body was more focused on repairing. This was causing a serious headache and I was already wearing down. I glanced up with half lidded eyes and saw a dark shadowed figure, and that damn sadistic smile actually looking less…sadistic.
"I like that smile."
"And I like yours."
HOOOONNNNNKKKKK!
"I'm awake!"
I sat up quickly, but relaxed while looking around in a sleepy haze. I was on Sebastian's back in my butler uniform, my hands draped over his shoulders and my head peaking out from behind his. Looking around, I discovered myself along with Snake, Sebastian, and Ciel on a large cruise ship as confetti rained from above. I was amazed by the sight, just because of the fact that I could see, but I was too tired to show any emotion other that exhaustion.
"Hey~ Did I miss something while I was out? Why're we on a boat?"
"Do you not remember? Before getting your eyesight back we talked with Young Master about a cruise where dead bodies were being brought back to life. You may have been out for a week, but even you should be able to remember these things."
"Mm. I would but I'm too tired."
He sighed and continued to carry me around the ship where we met Lady Elizabeth and the rest of her family. Her brother was very overprotective and her father was just plain weird for his like of cute things. I guess that must be where Lizzy gets it from. I started to fall back asleep and Sebastian finally took me to a room where I could rest.
"You may rest for now, but you must be prepared to continue with your butler duties by tomorrow at the latest. Now that you're able to see again, things will be much easier."
I nodded and yawned loudly as he finished taking off the uniform, and I immediately curled up under the covers of the bed and fell asleep.
"Goodnight, Damon."
"Night, Sebby."
I did wake up by the next day and proceeded to follow Ciel around like a dog, looking at all the details of the ship now that I was awake enough to enjoy it. By the third day, I had practically memorized everything and Ciel was beginning to wear out.
"Nobles really don't do anything but gather and talk about irrelevant nonsense. It feels stupid to have abandoned my work to come here."
"Now you know how I feel. Only I had to belly dance while they sat around and talked."
I swayed my hips a bit, making Ciel and Snake blush lightly, before Sebastian returned with some food while he smiled at my performance.
"I never knew you were one to dance, Damon."
"If you can call it dancing. I personally enjoyed the sword dance better. That reminds me, couldn't you just accept the marchioness' invitation to the fencing introduction if you're so bored?"
"Are you going to let me see the Statue of Liberty at all?"
Sebastian and Ciel began talking about some signal, so I stayed back with Snake. I sighed loudly and mumbled about not liking crowds just as a couple of ladies began whispering.
"It looks just like a snake doesn't it?"
"When did this place become a freak show?"
I grit my teeth hard as I saw Snake stiffen and just as Ciel showed up, I began walking towards the ladies. While Ciel was cheering him up, I could take care of the nuisances.
"Excuse me ladies, might I speak with you for but a moment?"
"O-Of course!"
"You're so handsome~ I wouldn't mind."
"I would love to say the same about you, miss, but personally you're uglier than a trout."
"Excuse me?"
"I said you're uglier than a trout. Now, if you would be so kind as to never speak that way again about my companion I might possibly refrain from tossing you overboard."
I smiled a smile that would make Sebastian proud as one of the ladies slapped me across the face. I just glared at her and her and her friend left looking scared beyond believe. I shrugged my shoulders, ignoring the stares from those who saw, and returned to pat Snake on the head.
"The ladies have been properly taken care of and will never speak about you any further."
"T-Thank you, says Dan."
I ruffled his hair a bit before going to stand next to Sebastian.
"You always seem to cause trouble don't you."
His gloved hand brushed across my reddening cheek and I leaned into it slightly. The cool glove felt nice against my heated skin, but I was beginning to doubt that that was the reason I sought his comfort. As soon as the thought came, it left; along with Sebastian's hand as he and Ciel began chasing after a waiter. They told Snake and I to clean up the mess, but I left that to Snake as I went upstairs where I ran into someone unexpected.
"Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to run into you."
"Hehehe~ Not a problem! It's nice to see you again, pup, especially now that you can see me back~"
"Haha, very funny. I didn't expect to see you here, of all places, Undertaker."
He smiled that goofy grin of his and pulled out a biscuit from his sleeve. I silently cursed my doggie instincts as he waved the biscuit around and I followed it, drool dribbling down my chin.
"Sit."
Nu-uh. No way am I going to…Crap! I'm already doing it!
Sure enough, I was squatting on the floor. I was lucky no one was around to see what else happened.
"Beg~ Hehehe! Now roll over~"
It would've been quite a site to see a young butler rolling around on the floor like I was doing. Finally he tossed me the bone shaped biscuit, laughing like a mad man the whole time. I stopped rolling and sat on the floor grumbling about how gullible I was when biscuits were involved when he spoke to me again.
"Would you like to see something funny involving the Earl? It would be quite amusing~ Hehehe~"
"Do I get another biscuit?"
"Of course~"
"Then what're we waiting for!"
He chuckled again and we headed into a room filled with various ladies and gentlemen. Not too long after we entered, Ciel and Sebastian walked in, in disguise. A…bigger gentleman walked up to them and they began to say something before they did the unthinkable.
"The phoenix!"
I choked on my biscuit when they posed; raising one leg in the air and having both hands in a strange position. The man did the same pose and handed them something which Sebastian pinned onto Ciel, just as I swallowed the last of my biscuit and finally got my laughter out. Tears poured down the side of my face as I hung onto the laughing Undertaker's shoulder.
"Eeeeeheeheehee! To think you'd ever do something like that!"
"Hahaha! Seriously! That was the best!"
"U-Undertaker? Damon?"
"H-He was so serious! Ahaha!"
"I-I'm so glad you b-brought me along! That was p-priceless!"
"You bastard! And you Damon, you're such a-"
"Now, now Young Master. What are you two doing here? Damon, I believe we specifically told you to stay back with Snake and clean up."
I froze and started to back away slowly but the moment I turned around to run, Sebastian grabbed the back of my collar and dragged me back to where Ciel was, as I struggled to get out of his grip. He let me go and I was plopped unceremoniously on the floor. The moment I tried to crawl away Sebastian's foot stomped down on my hand, painfully holding me in place.
"Ow! That hurts you know!"
"Then maybe next time you will listen when we order you to do something."
"Bastard."
"I heard that. Maybe I need to clean your mouth out as well."
I was completely silent after that, not even bothering to think for fear that Sebastian would punish me more than he already is. Speaking of punishment, I think he just dislocated my wrist for laughing as the Viscount got in Ciel's face. Then, something was wrapped around my head as Sebastian pulled me up and the Viscount got in my face as well.
"Hm, have I met you before? There's something about you that slightly angers me for some reason…"
"Must've been that time I drew on your face dick."
"You will most certainly be educated on proper English later, although I would have to agree in his case."
"But you're still going to punish me?"
"Yes."
"Aw man."
I pouted as Viscount Druitt grabbed our shoulders and pointed us towards the door where a casket was being brought in. The founder of this weird club walked in as well, and I could see why he was the founder just by watching the way he zoomed around the room talking about health. I was snickering behind my hand until he grew serious and opened the casket. I nearly collapsed right there from the smell. My sense of smell had heightened since my recent blindness and the stench of that body had my knees turning to jello and my stomach threatening to empty on the floor.
"Is the body real?"
"No shit…Sherlock…"
I covered my mouth with my hand and wrapped my other around my stomach. I felt Sebastian place his arm around my waist to support me, so I silently thanked him.
"I will show you now! The power of medicine! The complete salvation!"
Electricity traveled through the wires that had been placed on the corpse and all it did was make the smell worse. The corpse rose from the casket, but I paid no attention as my legs finally gave up on me and my head began pounding from my senses overloading.
"Damon, are you okay?"
"My head…"
"Hold on a minute…Does this help?"
Sebastian had taken the cloth he'd wrapped around my head and managed to wrap it around my nose and mouth. The smell of the corpse wasn't nearly as intolerable and the cloth smelled like him. I focused on his scent and nodded my head when he helped me up, which was the same time the corpse took a nice chunk out of her mother.
"Sebastian!"
"Yes, my lord."
Sebastian used his cutlery to impale the thing multiple times, but Ciel began freaking out when it just got back up again. I looked at it, still slightly sick to my stomach, but I finally understood something.
"We're not gonna be able to kill it by just stabbing it. Take off it's head."
"And what makes you think that'll work?"
"You have a lot of books in your library that I read during breaks. One of them mentioned something about the brain controlling all functions of the body. Take out the brain…"
"And the body won't function! That's possibly the smartest thing I've ever heard you say."
"Don't get used to it. It's a spur of the moment thing and I really hate whatever that thing is."
"As do I, but this doesn't mean I forgot about your language punishment."
"Damn."
