Kuroshitsuji Fan Fiction ❯ A second chance ❯ It's time for your new life my friend. ( Chapter 1 )

Originally I posted this at Fanfiction, it still my be there if you want to get farther into the story, but I will update at a nice even pace. This story also follows the manga, not the anime, also certain things will obviously not happen in the manga, those are parts that I have created and placed into the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroshitsuji, it belongs to Yana Toboso, but Matthew and any other character that does not belong to the Kuroshitsuji family, belongs to me.
A Second Chance.
There was dozen of knick knacks around me, either old, or new, and all meaningless to me. Right now, I am at an antique store, the lady that owns it had a good deal with me. I'd buy her stuff, she gets me what I want. I'm not rich, no, but I am able to get enough money to pay for my needs. Right now one of my needs is a book. A special book that I have been searching for, ever since I heard rumors of it. The book of the dead. There are many rumors of what it contains, some say its the almanac of everyone in the world, showing their time of death and how they will die. Others say it shows secrets of demons, reveals how to summon, kill, or even control one. And finally the last rumor, the reason I've been looking for it, it supposedly has symbols, symbols that preform different duties, almost like casting a spell.
After researching it many times, I am sure that it is the third. I have no need of demons, nor do I care about my death, all I wanted was my wish to be granted. You see I have a 6th sense. No I don't see dead people, I don't see the future. I see monsters, they blend in with the human race, they cause the accidents to people, some not meaning to, others are in their nature, and they cause misery unto others, yet I do not hate them.
When I was younger I tried to tell people, but they thought I was joking. But then they started taking me serious when my family was killed by one. They wanted me to tell the truth, tell them that it was a robber, a killer, a murder, a human. But no, all I said was the truth, it was a demon, yellow burning eyes, large sharp fangs, and yet he was so unearthly beautiful, it was the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful beast. Skin so smooth, lips dripping with my mother and father's blood, and eyes that shined in the dark, and yet were full of despair as he stared at me, "I'm sorry." It was barely a whisper, his voice was baritone and soothing. It scared me to think that a demon was so beautiful and perfect, and yet I could not hate him for what he was, because it looked like he did not choose to be what he is.
He left me alone, jumping out the window, and that's where the cops found me. When they saw my parents chests ripped open, hearts missing, and half of the internal organs eating, they threw up and dragged me away. They questioned me for hours, but...I tried to tell them the truth, and yet they wouldn't believe me. After all that they shoved me into an asylum, it didn't help that I was also diagnosed with schizophrenia (Yup I hear voices in my head, but I can't understand them.), when they deemed me 'better' I was released and put up for adoption. No one wanted me, I don't blame them, as I grew older I realized it is humans who are monsters. We who masquerade as the good and the innocent, are all actually just vile creatures, unbefitting for living, both them, and me.
After all, humans are the worse thing on earth, not the demons.
Sandra handed me the book, it is a thick leather bound book with a leather strap and a large buckle sealing it. I tried to open it, but it refused to budge. "Why won't it open?" I demanded. She shrugged and held out her hand. I shoved two hundreds into her hands. I placed the book into my backpack, I was running away from the orphanage again, I didn't want to return, I didn't want to go back to the high school. Hopefully, I don't get caught again.
"Matt! If you still can't open it, I'll get a crowbar and rip it open for you!" Sandra shouted as I left her shop. The air was chilly, I loved autumn the best. The leaves turn a different shade, and the wind was chilled, the scent of change is in the air, and it gave me confidence in myself, that maybe finally I'll be able to remove myself of this curse.
I walked into the park, the sun was soon setting, but I just wanted to stay outside for a bit longer, enjoying the season. The angel fountain was shut off during the fall and winter, mostly cause the leaves would clog up the pipe, and I stared at it, it was pretty, and I wondered why I never saw angels among the humans and the demons, it was strange indeed.
"Look if it isn't Damien." I froze, only the kids from my high school called me Damien, that name I've long abandon for it brought only brought forth unwanted memories, and ridicule, (Damian the child from Omen, not something to be proud of really.) I stood up and made a move to leave, but they surrounded me. Of course Jerry would travel with his pack, a bunch of neanderthals they were. "Running away from the orphanage again? Did the voices in your head tell you to?" He was mocking me like always. I refused to answer him though, the voices in my head whispered in my mind, it was always in a language I didn't understand, but I can feel the venomous thoughts, and understood what they were telling me.
He started telling me insults after insults, and I just stood there not listening. He then grabbed my backpack and I freaked out from the sudden closeness.
Slamming my elbow into his stomach, I took back my backpack and I was suddenly hit from behind. His friends crowded me, I didn't like being crowded, nor touched, I hated the touch of people it reminded me of that day. I screamed and started flailing around, trying to hit them. Some of my hits landed, but others only swatted the air.
They pushed me down to the ground and I struggled and reached into my jacket, my father's old hunting knife was inside it. I slashed at them, only nicking Jerry's arm and they moved away from me as I stood up and pointed the knife at them, it wasn't the first time I pointed a knife to someone now that I think about it. "You little bastard!" Jerry came forward and I rushed at him, if I strucked him dead, maybe just maybe, the others will leave me alone. One of them moved fast and kicked my foot, tripping me, and Jerry removed my knife from me. I laid there on the ground and stared at him, there was no fear in me, just a wave of eerie anger and calmness.
"I'll teach you you little freak!" He suddenly stabbed me in my abdomen. His friends stared at me and Jerry in shock, "Dude what did you do!" One of them shouted. Jerry stood up, my blood on his hands and he grabbed the one that shouted, "Shut up all of you! I fucking kill you guys next if you say a word of this! Now let's go!" He pulled them away from the park and I stared at the sky, the grey clouds, now becoming dark, from the setting sun, looked really nice. Maybe this was what I was born for, to die here, it was peaceful anyways.
No, I can't accept that! Not after I came this far, damn the demons, and damn the humans! They are all vile and disgusting, I won't die peacefully like this! Not until I get my wish!
Rising up from the ground I removed the blade from my stomach, probably causing my death to come quicker. I took the book out of the bag and stabbed my knife into it, forcing it to open. I flipped the pages until I saw a symbol of an eight pointed star and something written in Latin. I knew how to read Latin, but I didn't know what the words meant. I started speaking the words as I used my own blood to draw the sign.
"Grant my wish! Grant it before I die, give me the chance to see beauty instead of this disgusting world!" I shouted, blood coming from my mouth and tears falling from my eyes, "Just for a momeant, give me my life back before death, even if it is mundane, even if I lose my vision, this was all I wanted, to get away from this world...Please!" I cried desperately, I just wanted my mother and father back, my friends to be safe, and a place I can call home, is that so selfish to want a life back?
My body started to feel cold, and I started to tremble. It was false, the book was a lie, nothing more then an occult piece of bullshit. I will die here, my body will be rotting, and there's nothing I can do about it. My eyes roamed around a bit, the tears still flowing and they landed on the angel, no, now on closer inspection the angel it self was a monster. Deceiving people by making them come near, its red eyes stared at me and it slowly started to move closer to me. Wanting to feed off of me.
I chuckled softly and just watched as it crept forward, "A demon kills my parent, and demon shall see me die and feed off of me. If you are hungry come and feed, for I rather my flesh not be wasted on this earth, where the people are cruel, and were monsters roam in secret." My vision started to fade and a final thought came to my head as the demon came near me.
'My last vision will be that of a demon, I don't mind that I suppose, I really don't mind.'
Another voice spoke in my head, 'Only in death will you find peace.' I chuckled softly, for this voice was new, and it wasn't violent, but gentle. My eyes closed and all I saw was blackness. The demon screeched as it jumped me and bit into my shoulder. I had blacked out then, not seeing the circle activate. Instead all I saw was a peaceful sky in my head, the stars shining brightly, and I felt myself sink as if I was submerged in water. After all only in death will you find peace.

Sebastian whipped the horses as they ran down the road, he was late in making dinner because of another mission his master had to do. Once they were finished with it, Ciel had wanted to go back home immediately after solving the case, unfortunately for Sebastian, his young master also wanted to be there by dinner time.
He stared up ahead at the road, making sure not even a rock was in the way to make a bump for the carriage since Ciel was sleeping inside. Blood red light suddenly struck the road and two shapes appeared in front of the horses, scaring them. Sebastian pulled on the reins to stop the horses and he stared at the two bodies. One was a demon, the kind that blended in with surroundings. It was currently gnawing on the other body, it appeared to be a young man, no older then 17 with blonde hair.
He heard the door opened and looked down, Ciel was awake and was not happy. "Sebastian your horrible at driving, why did you stop." Ciel demanded.
"My apologize my lord, but it seems that there is a demon and a body obstructing the road." He pointed ahead and Ciel's eye widen a bit, the look soon turned to a look of disgust and he turned around, heading back into the carriage, "Just get rid of it."
"I would, but I can't, not until the spell finishes of course."
Ciel stopped, one foot on the step, the other on the muddy ground. "Repeat that."
"I said not until the spell finishes, can I get rid of the demon my lord."
Ciel turned around once more and walked forward, he saw what Sebastian meant, there was a red glow, similar to what he once saw with Sebastian as he made the contract. Then it just died, now only leaving the demon and the body alone as it tried to rip off some of the meat on the human's shoulder. "It's gone now so kill it." Sebastian's eyes turned red and he jumped down from the carriage, he bowed to Ciel and said three words, "Yes my lord."
He stalked towards the demon, it looked up and hissed at him, trying to protect its meal from being taken. "Ngh ah!" The human spoke, as the demon resumed once more on trying to rip his flesh. "My lord it seems the human is still alive." He grabbed the demon by the neck and cracked it with a twitch of his fingers. Ciel said nothing as he walked closer to the scene. He spotted a book that was near the body and tried to pick it up, only to be shocked by it.
"That book." Sebastian made a grab for it, but the same result happened only this time it actually caused the demon butler to flinch. "I see, this boy is its master now."
Ciel frowned and looked around the body, there was a large hunting knife and a bag next to him, one he hasn't seen before. He grabbed it and started going through the contents, he found what seems to be canned foods, a can opener, strange looking money, a few books, two things that looked like a plug except they were black and were in the shape of a square with cords coming at the end of it with a piece of metal sticking out, and finally a palm size snowglobe that was full round, and had a lion roaring on a stand, in small words it said London Zoo.
"What is this?" Sebastian said as he went through the boy's pocket, he took out a blue square, half the size of his palm and he opened it. There was a strange glass window on the upper part, it could have been a mirror, and some white knobs, one was shape like a plus sign, then there two miniature dots at the bottom where there was some holes, and then two slanted circles that had the letters A and B on them. "Gameboy Advance?" Sebastain read the small words on the mirror and found another knob. He saw it said off and on and he flicked the small switch, a small ding came from it and the mirror lit up, now proving to be it was a screen.
"So strange. Sebastian change of plans, grab the body and we will take him with us." Ciel said as he took the Gameboy away from his butler. Sebastian nodded and grabbed the boy, seeing the book on the ground, he changed his mind and used the boy's own hand to grab the book. He slipped him into the carriage and grabbed the backpack, its contents placed back inside, and he laid it next to the boy.
"My lord, I think he might bleed to death so do you mind pressing on his wound."
"He won't die from a bite wound."
"No but a stabbing wound might." He pushed the boy's bloody white shirt up and showed the large wound on his stomach that was still bleeding. Ciel pinched the bridge of his nose and just nodded, "Hurry up and get us there immediately Sebastian." Sebastian bowed and ripped off some of the shirt, and he handed it to Ciel, so he can cover the wound with it.
Ciel sighed as his hands pressed on the wound. He looked at his other hand, that still held the Gameboy and he read the title that was on the screen, "Castlevania: Aria and Harmony." He tilted his head and he clicked on the plus sign. It moved and it focused on the Aria part. He clicked another button, the A one, and it took him to another part where it said Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. He hmm'ed and messed around a few more times until he forgot about pressing the wound and started playing the game.
Sebastian looked at his master and the very close to death boy. "At least you tried." Sebastian muttered under his breath. He grabbed the boy and took him out of the carriage. "Mister Sebastian!" The trio of idiots shouted as they rushed forward to them, not having seen them both for two weeks and were excited to see them.
"Ah who's that!" Finny shouted, a lantern in his hand casted a light on them, and he spotted the blood on Ciel's hands and on the boy. "A new guest, prepare a room near the servants' quarters and get the medical supplies to me as quick as possible." Sebastian ordered as he went passed the trio. They stood up at attention and did as they were told, for once they did it right as Bard boiled water to disinfect a sewing needle for the wound. Maylene grabbed clean bandages and thread. Finny grabbed some herbs that would quickly heal a wound and started grinding them to make the medicine.
Sebastian removed the jacket from the boy, his eyes staying on it for a quite a bit since it was different from the others he had seen. It was a forest green jacket with a black fur hood and a symbol of a le fleur on the left breast with a horse rearing behind it. "Does he belong to a royal family perhaps?" He muttered out loud. He heard a gasping sound and he looked down, the boy's face was really pale, and sweaty as he gasped once more to breathe. He grabbed the boy's shirt and ripped the front open. Maylene and Finny came in and they gasped as the saw the wounds on the boy's stomach and shoulder, they came closer to Sebastian with everything he needed and he set to work on fixing the wound. Not even a second did Sebastian made a move to the boy, did the young blonde's eyes snapped open just as he was about to press a alcohol covered cloth on his stomach to clean it. He stared wide eyed at the three and his breath quicken as he tried to scramble up, causing the wound to bleed even faster. "You woke up, most regrettable now your going to feel all the pain." Sebastian pressed the cloth on the boy's wound and the boy screamed in agony from the burning.
"Ahh! Don't touch me!" He struck Sebastian and scrambled off the bed. Sebastian frowned as he took out his pocket watch, "You have put me far behind schedule, now please stop moving or you will die." The boy's eyes were wild as he stared at the three in the room.
"Don't come near me!" He shouted.
"Finny, grab him." Sebastian said as he tugged his gloves. Finny gulped and nodded as he went over to the scared boy. "It's ok we are here to help you." Finny tried to speak calmly.
The boy's breath quickened again as Finny came closer and closer to him. "Stay away." The boy whimpered, tears falling down his cheeks. Finny touched his arm and the boy let out a yell that sounded like a crazed animal. Finny grabbed the boy and the boy started to thrash around as he tried to escape, but Finny's strength proved to be more then the boy can manage.
Sebastian came over immediately and started cleaning the wound. Maylene watched at a corner of the room, slightly frightened as she covered her ears from the screams that sounded tortured. Finny held the boy down more, his trashing was to violent, as Sebastian rapidly sewed the wound, the boy tried to buck and kick at Sebastian, but he was to weak from the blood loss, "Let me die, please let me die!" The boy cried as he stared up at Finny.
Sebastian finished the job and grabbed the boy's head. The boy stopped struggling and stared into Sebastian's eyes. The boy let out a small whisper, no one able to hear him except Sebastian. "Demon why won't you stop my suffering." Sebastian's eyes widen and he struck the boy's neck and the blonde haired boy fainted. "Sebastian is he going to be fine?" Finny asked silently as he stared at the boy's arms, they were bruised from his grip and he touched them, thinking they were broken.
"He was just in shock from the pain." Sebastian picked the boy up and laid him on the bed. "Though just incase I want you and Bard to restrain him, Finny." Finny nodded and left the room. Maylene stepped forward and looked at Sebastian, "Maylene can you please bandage him, he was moving around to much for the stitches to be perfect so he may bleed again." Maylene nodded, her eyes determined as she went to the boy and started bandaging his abdomen.
"Good. I'll try to prepare something for master now."

I was stuck in this memory again.
The one were Toby (Female), Edward (Male), (The only people I would have considered friends.) and I were drugged up in a house. Derek was there standing over us as he talked about how we are innocent, and pure. As my drugged eyes looked around I noticed 3 large men, they were Derek's friends that he had to introduce us to, and there was also those 2 women, drunk, who were laughing at us.
"Derek you really outdid yourself this time. They are all so cute." One of them came up to me and patted my cheek. "We'll save you for last." He whispered to me. I shivered and tried to move, but my body wouldn't respond.
They took Edward and I shut my eyes as they ripped his clothes off. I couldn't block out the screams of help, and on my left Toby was crying because she was next. The women kept laughing as they grabbed Toby and 'plaid' with her. She screamed as well I didn't want to look. The voices in my head chattered away over and over until finally I heard my name being shouted. "Matt help us!" They cried out. I opened my eyes and I started to tremble as I saw them rape my friends.
I started to cry, I couldn't move. For the life of me I couldn't move. The drugs haven't disappeared from my body it seems. Derek came over to me and started kissing my lips, "Don't touch me." I manage to say, my head slightly moving away from his disgusting lips. He just smiled and started removing my shirt, his hands touching my body and I shivered as I wished the demon had killed me along with my parents.
Something surged in me and I screamed loudly everyone stopped as they looked at me. I somehow kicked Derek away from me and I ran out of the room looking for anything to defend myself with. Derek was after me, I can feel his breath on my neck again and I rushed into the kitchen. I opened the drawers and pulled out a knife. "Easy there tiger. You don't want to hurt me. It's me your big brother Derek." He slowly walked towards me, I couldn't stop shaking as I held the knife up, trying to seem confident.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him as he wretched the knife out of my hand. "You little bastard, I'm going to fuck you then kill you." He licked my neck and I tried to pull away, but he had a firm grip on me. His hand held tightly to my left forearm and his other hand trailed up and down my chest. His teeth bit at my skin, leaving bitemarks on my chest, tears continued to run down my face as I tried to yank free, but Derek easily held me down.
Tears ceased falling and my body went cold as I realized there wasn't anything I could do, so I gave up, and hoped that the pain would not be so bad.
BAM BAM BAM
Someone was banging on the door and they called out, "Is everything ok in there!"
'Someone actually came!' I thought.
"Help!" I shouted, hope now revived into me and I screamed louder for help. Derek slapped my mouth shut and the pounding on the door increased as they tried to open the door. "Fuck!" Derek said as he struck me, knocking me out.
I remember waking up with the police surrounding me. I was screaming and crying when they were near me. Someone wrapped a blanket around me and they took me to the hospital, where both Toby and Edward were admitted, and they sent me to some women who tried to ask me what happened. I didn't speak. Neither did Toby, nor Edward. We never told anyone what exactly happened, but they knew by the bruises, cuts, and blood coming from my friends lower bodies.
Derek was arrested two weeks after - his friends had gotten away-, and they wanted us to go on court and say what he did to us. But we refused.
At night I would hear Toby crying and Edward would tell her to be quite, sometimes even getting up to hit her. They both changed, my friends have grown so distant, their backs to me, all I saw was a shadow of what they once were. They would ignore me, at the school, I remember now. Toby joined a gang, she would beat girls, cut their faces, rip off their hair and called them horrid names like slut, whore, and many other words, she was in pain, and this is how she was dealing with it. Not like I ever tried to help her, not long after grade 7th... she disappeared.
Not even a week after her disappearance, on a Saturday night Edward woke me up.
"Toby abandon us. We need to stick together." He held his hand out to me, but I shook my head as I wrapped the blankets tighter around my body. "Are you going to abandon me too! Are you going to just leave me behind, just like before!" He shouted stirring some of the other kids, but they refused to open their eyes, thinking that we were cursed for what was done to us, and wanted nothing to do with us. He started to shake me, bruises forming on my shoulders, but I shut my eyes wishing he would disappear, because I couldn't help anyone, and I couldn't do anything, I am only human, I am only...a child still.
My eyes opened that morning, and I saw Edward looking down at me from the ceiling. He had hanged himself. Now I was truly alone, the only survivor of that day. The only one that was lucky enough to get away.
I've always wondered, why wasn't it me instead, why did everyone I love have to get hurt?
~ASC~
Someone was shaking me and the world went black as I was pulled out of my memory. I opened my eyes and was staring into rust. No wait they were eyes, just the color of them was rusted blood. I tried to pushed him away, my body was restrained, but my arms were slightly free, only able to move them up to my stomach and chest. His hands were on my shoulder and I didn't want him to touch me.
"That is enough. If you keep moving you'll rip your stitches." A deep baritone voice he had, not a hint of British accent, then again, my own voice had a very slight accent. He loomed over me, he was to close to comfort, and I could literally feel the heat coming off his body.
"Let me go." I said, my eyes shut tight as I wished he disappeared.
"If I let you go, will you calm down?" My body shook in fear, but I nodded to him. He released me and I slowly opened my eyes to him, "My what beautiful eyes you have." He smiled at me and sat down in a chair. "They are a bright green, and are shaped similar to that of a cat's, how interesting for a human to have." I stared at him, "M-my eyes are brown." Now he stared at me as if I was insane, like I didn't knew the color of my own eyes. He then just smiled again at me, and it pissed me off, "Don't smile."
"Hm?"
"I said don't smile, Demon. Your as fake as your disguise." A real smile came to his lips, one that was sadistic and true of a demon like him. "I thought you were delirious at first, but now I know. How did you see past my mask?" He asked.
I looked at him and realized, I couldn't see his real form. Whenever I see a demon I see the gruesome or beautiful beast as they were made, not how they blend in. Then...my wish came true? I can't see them no more!...But then how did I know he was one? Now that I think about it, his disguise is quite handsome, almost otherworldly, his real form must be unearthly beautiful. "Answer my question, and please make it quick. My master wants to see you immediately." I looked at him, truly looked at him and I saw he was dressed in a twin tail coat with white gloves on his hands, and a chain hanging from his pocket, probably a pocketwatch. I then looked around the room and wondered where the hell I was.
"Fine I suppose you can tell me on your way over there." He removed the restrains and touched my hand, and I strucked him. "Don't touch me!" I shouted. He sighed and stood up, "Your making this difficult for me."
"Leave me alone." I said softly, my arms were throbbing in pain now that I realized it. Below my belly button was also throbbing where the knife was plunge in. My hand moved onto my stomach, I had wanted to sit up but the pain was excruitiating, my fingers touched bandages and I slipped my fingers underneath. "Don't do that." He ordered. I didn't listen to him, a strange feeling came over me as whispers increased, and I touched my wound, it stung and I realized that it was stitched, quiet badly it seems. Not thinking, I slipped my ring finger inside it, my blood was oozing out now because of the sudden penetration. My other fingers soon follow and I gasped as the pain hit me. Maybe it was the loss of blood, or the voices in my head that kept urging me to continue, whatever it was I tried to bleed myself to death.
The demon grabbed my hand and pulled it away from the wound, only making it worse. "Great now I have to fix it again." He sighed and removed my bandages. "Let it be." I said.
"Unfortunately my master ordered me to keep you alive." His eyes shifted colors and he loomed over my wound. "What if I paid you." He chuckled, "Money means nothing to me."
"And my soul?" I was desperate, I know, but I just wanted the sweet relief that the voices promised me. Besides, this demon...it would not be so bad to die by his hands. He looked at me for a momeant and then a wide grin appeared on his face "Don't say just anything if your not in your right mind."
"My soul will belong to you, if you are willing." He looked at me and then he tapped his fist on his palm, "I see the problem now." He gripped my chin and tilted away from his direction, he then started whispering something in a strange language and I couldn't breath. His fingers touched my neck as it trailed down my shoulder, I started to tremble as the memory came back, "Please don't." I begged him. He plunged his nails inbetween my ribs bone and I screamed as he dugged around and pulled something out of my body.
All the air left my lungs as I felt whatever it was leave. It felt like the pain and suffering I've had to live with just suddenly lessened, as if maybe it wasn't all as bad as it seemed, that maybe I was lucky to have made it as far as I did. And yet the guilt of surviving and abandoning was still there, as well as the thought of death.
"I was wondering why your actions were strange for a human to do." He held out a large black slimey worm thing, it was disgusting, blood was dripping off of it, and it was the size of my palm. I realized the voices stopped in my head, "This little fella is called Jynx, these little guys that would sneak into a human being when they are just a small child and cause them pain and suffering, but, if they hated someone, it would curse that person who is hated, but cause the host to suffer as well." I stared at it, feeling a bit woozy from all the blood loss. "It would also cause bad luck to the host and those around them. They survive on despair until they drive the host to madness, and only the thought of suicide could make them feel 'relief'." He ripped the worm in half and dunked it in a tub of water that was near the bed. There was a loud hissing sound as I watched it squirm as if it was being boiled alive, then it died.
That was what caused everything then? My family's death, my friends being raped, my deranged psychotic thoughts of death and suicide, everything bad that had happened to me was the cause of some worm. I suddenly started to laugh, it hurt to do so, but I laughed at myself. "Maybe there's another worm in you." The demon scratched his head then shrugged as he came back to me. "Well let us not dilly dally, my master is quite upset now." He brought his face near my wound and I started getting nervous, so it seems that the worm didn't cause everything. I was still afraid of someone near me and touching me.
He did something and I felt my wounds burning, then it suddenly cooled and felt so much better and I was sure that they have healed, even if it was somewhat. "There, though you'll still feel the soreness and the wound isn't fully healed, everything should be fine now." He held out a hand and I looked at it.
"Come." He said.
I pushed his hand away and tried to pick myself off of the bed, and I asked, "Why do you look like a butler."
"Because I am one."
I don't remember the park being so close to a mansion, in fact there shouldn't be one near it at all. He sighed and grabbed a candle stick holder. Who still uses those? "Come with me then." He walked out of the room and I followed after him. I realized now why he was using the candle, it was the middle of the night.
I started thinking of what his master looked like, and why he would want to see me at this time of night. All it did was scare me and made me want to run. But I didn't. He looked back at me and saw how far away I was from him. I was holding on to a wall right now for support, and it hurts so much to move. I know he healed me some how, but it seems that it really wasn't all the way healed, he did tell me though.
He came to me and wrapped an arm around my waist. "Hurry up." He pulled me up, and started dragging me. I couldn't breathe at all as he lugged me around. I was frozen stiffen in his arms, and I couldn't move out of his grip. With the worm in me I would have been kicking and screaming, but right now I was just scared of the closeness of our bodies. We made it to a door and he knocked. "Come in." It sounded like a kid's voice.
He opened the door and I felt my legs give away. The butler caught me before I fell face first and for some reason I heard a heartbeat, and it sounded familiar. "Finally you came, I can't get passed this part." I looked up and saw a kid with an eye patch, this must be the 'master' that the guy was talking about. The butler started moving and he carried me to a chair. I was finally able to breathe freely now that he wasn't near me. "Why do you have my game?" That was probably stupid to ask, I should have asked instead why I was brought here.
"Because I can. Now explain." I struggled to get up my feet and I limped over to him. It seems he was playing Aria of Sorrow. "Ok were did you left off?" I explained him the game, the butler just silently watching us.
"So then Soma is just a human." I nodded to Ciel. He frowned, and then looked at his Butler. "Sebastian was there ever a human who could copy demon's abilities?"
"No my lord."
"Then this game is a lie." He clicked away on my Gameboy and I sighed, yup he was a kid alright. "Look Ciel that is the point of this game. Also you might want to wear the tag that the girl made for you in the game."
"Why it brings down my defense dramatically."
"Fine don't say I didn't warn you."
Ciel plaid the game, killed the man and it ended with Soma being taken out of the castle feeling bad. "That's it?"
"You got one of the bad endings."
"Huh?"
I cleared my throat and started clearing the misunderstanding. Ciel growled in annoyance and started playing it again, this time getting it right. "Ciel I want to ask you a favor."
"What?" He said, not even looking up from the game.
"I need a place to stay can you point me in the direction of a hotel or pub." He stopped playing, and looked up at me, "The nearest town is 2 hours away from here, on foot."
"Huh?"
"Might I say something my lord." Sebastian walked over to me and held up my backpack. When did he get it? "When we found you, all off this was next to you. Especially the book inside that sent you here." I stared at him in confusion. "They spell you casted was one that takes you through dimensions. The items in here have some dates on them. This book here," He took out one of my books that I stole so I wouldn't get bored. "It says 1996, another one says 2004, and so on and so forth." I looked at him and again I was confused. He sighed and looked at Ciel. "My lord what year is it."
"1887."
My legs gave out again and this time Sebastian didn't catch me. "So I casted the wrong spell."
"Not necessarily, the spell you casted granted your wish. You must have wanted to get away from your world and came to ours."
"I didn't think it would just take me to another world, I just wanted my curse to see demons to be removed." (Or at least my family) They looked at me as if I was strange, "I use to be able to see demons, literally see them for what they are. But now I can't."
"You were able to tell that I was a demon though."
"Yeah well I have no idea why ok!" I sighed as I went back to my seat. "Sebastian was it?" He nodded. I rubbed my eyes and looked at him, "You said my eyes were green, but my eyes a brown, light brown to be exact." Ciel stared at me and snapped his fingers.
Sebastian pulled a mirror, out of nowhere, and my mouth fell open as I stared at myself. I was normal still, my hair, still bright blonde, and shaggy, my mouth, nose, eyebrows, chin, ears, everything was fine except my eyes were vivid green, like actual pools of emeralds being lit by the sun, and causing them to shine the brightest they could, that wasn't the only thing strange, they were shaped like a cat's eyes, oval. I tried to narrow my eyes and they turned to slits, that made me jump back and kick the mirror. Sebastian caught it before it hit the ground, but my foot had caused it to leave spiderweb cracks, my image scattered like a picasso painting.
"What's wrong with my eyes!" I shouted.
Sebastian placed the mirror down and came up to me, holding my backpack up to my face, "Can you get 'that' book out." I didn't know which one he meant, but I knew it couldn't have been just my usual read so I took out the Book of the Dead. It opened up rather easily this time and I turned the pages until I came up to the symbol I had drawn. "Here it is." I pointed to it and Sebastian came near me once more and he looked down at the book.
"I was right, this is an incantation to take you to another dimension, but you have to give something to get something. Meaning your eyes, you were willing to give up your 'sight' in order to see. But the only way the spell could activate is if you had any spiritual powers or a demon's assistance." I remembered the stone angel demon and the worm and how they were all in the circle with me. "You would have lost your eyes, but to much interference from those two demons and I guess you could say that you are like Soma from the game, you gained an ability from them. Maybe that is why the book picked you as it's master." I blinked stupidly at him and then the book.
This book picked me? I touched the pages and its words glowed red as if reacting to my touch. I looked at the words carefully and I feel like I understand them, but I couldn't figure it out still. "You have been dropped into a different time, in a different world, and have been given an extraordinary gift any human or demon would wish to have. What will you do?" Sebastian whispered in my ear. I looked up at Ciel and opened the second pouch on my backpack. "I have more games Ciel." I held out a several game cartridges and he looked at them like a child would look at a brand new toy.
"What do you want for them?" He asked, suspicious of me.
"I don't know. A new life perhaps?" He smirked and so did Sebastian, "That can be arranged." Sebastian's eyes glowed red and I could have sworn mine shined back in reply from the look on Ciel's face. "Are you sure though? You don't have to start a new life at the place you were dropped in." Sebastian told me. I gave a half hearted smirk as I stared at the ground, "A life as a servant? It might not be so bad, besides, I can learn more about you." I looked up at Sebastian and he blinked in surprised at my words, "Demons are certainly interesting beings." Ciel said as he continued to click away at my game.
I smirked and released an involuntary yawn, my body was tired, and it felt heavy from all that it's been through today, "I'm going to bed now Ciel. In the morning I'll do whatever you want me to do." I stood up and Sebastian made a move to help me but I raised my hand to him. "I can do it myself." I slowly walked out the door and hobbled down the hallway in the dark. I can kind of see in the dark, the book was close to me and it released a very faint glow, as I came near the steps and I went down them one by one. And when I finally reached the bottom I sat down on the steps, my wound had some how opened up even though it was healed, but it wasn't bleeding by much, if anything it was just a dab of blood.
I panted a bit, trying to catch my breath, I did loose a lot of blood after all, that is something Sebastian couldn't fix it seems. And I stood back up and shuffle back to my room. I'm glad I remembered where it was or else it would be embarrassing to be lost after what I just did. I was so close to the door, but my legs started to hurt, and my body ached. I leaned against the wall, not having the strength to keep it up, my body slid down and I took a rest there. My eyes started to close and I thought I would just rest for a little bit and then go back on to the bed. My eyes closed completely and I fell asleep, and for once actually having a wonderful dream of being in water, as the sun shined down and I catch a glimpse of myself in its reflection, my family playing on the beach as my friends joined me in the water. And yet deep in my mind I could not help but think how I have received a second chance.
A second chance to start over...
