Demonology Lesson 2

Ciel laid on the couch at six-thirty in the morning. He had no intention of getting up. He was sleepy, even though, Demons had no need for sleep. Sebastian walked over, whispering loudly, "Ciel!"

Ciel's left eye opened, clearly annoyed... His other eye remained tightly shut. "Go away, Sebastian..."

Sebastian continued to watch him, then, threw a pillow at him. Ciel sat up, readying his hand to slap him. Sebastian grabbed it as it went for his face, "Demon Training... remember?"

He put Ciel's hand down, then, he walked towards the courtyard... Ciel sat there, unsure why he didn't want to kill Sebastian right now. He'd usually get really mad at him and throw a fit...

Ciel got up off the couch and went to the courtyard where Sebastian was waiting... He didn't even think of breakfast.

Sebastian stood there, waiting for Ciel. The young demon walked over to him. "Okay, why this early?"

Sebastian looked up, "The sun is beginning to rise. Lady Elizabeth would never wake up so early..."

"Right..."

Ciel remembered when he was a young master. Sebastian refused to wake him up at anytime before nine o'clock. If he did, Ciel would be very cranky and Sebastian would risk getting slapped or having Ciel throw his tableware at him. A teacup smashing into his face...

Sebastian walked over to a bush, as Ciel was beginning to let his mind wander and began to stare into space. Sebastian flicked a leaf near his eyes, snapping him out of his memories. "Sebastian!"

"What? You are to be learning, not daydreaming..." Ciel rolled his eyes, as they began to glare at Sebastian, who continued. "Okay, now..." He threw the leaf onto the ground, "Demonology 101... always be aware of your surroundings..."

"What?"

Sebastian looked around the courtyard. He'd set up an obstacle course particularly for this situation, "What do you see?"

Ciel didn't see anything at first because he was so tired. All he saw was the courtyard, but as he looked around he began to notice boards and all these deadly weapons. His eyes widened. "Death..."

Sebastian smiled and held a bullet, shining it in Ciel's eyes. "Catch this..." He threw the bullet at Ciel's face. "You can't miss it!"

Ciel eyed the bullet as it flew through the air. He instantly remembered the time when Sebastian saved him from a man who kidnapped him. He was tied up in belts... Sebastian caught so many bullets that day, making the man deeply confused.

Ciel reached his hand up towards the glittering bullet. It was so unreal, like a dream. It looked like it moved so slow, it wasn't natural... He grabbed it, feeling as it he moved just as slow as the bullet.

To Sebastian he moved as fast as lightning, when the bullet whipped through the air. "Show me."

Ciel gently held the bullet between his ring-finger and thumb, so delicately. Sebastian smiled, "Young demons are quite good at such troublesome tasks..."

Ciel threw down the bullet and it clinked on the stone walk-way, "What now?"

He saw how eager Ciel was to learn. "You will remain training with weapons. You're not ready to learn how to control your demon side, yet. You'll need to control the dark forces before you can interact with what it is composed of... Your demon side must be going mad." He sighed, his eyes closing. "I have no idea why you chose Lady Elizabeth... It will be much harder to keep control of it, around her."

Ciel looked up at Sebastian, as the sun began to rise. Sebastian looked at Ciel, once again, "I suppose it is nearing eight o'clock..." He glanced at his pocket watch, "We must go back inside before Elizabeth wakes up."

Ciel nodded, as he began to go back inside his mansion...
