You Can't Hide Forever

His Butler, Strongest (part 2)

"Ah!", he screamed. Sebastian picked Ciel up.

"I must say, the game wasn't as fun this time, Sebastian", Ciel said. Azzurro sat up.

"No, wait! Come back! Work for me! Be my bodyguard and I will pay you ten times what he does", Azzurro begged. Sebastian sat Ciel down in a nearby chair, completely ignoring Azzurro. "Alright then, twenty times! You can have all the liquor and women you want, too!"

Sebastian bent down in front of Ciel and ripped the leather belts apart, like they were paper. Azzurro gasped.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Vanel. It's an attractive offer, but I have no interest in such materialistic things. You see, I am simply..." The room darkened and Sebastian's eyes turned demonic again. "...one hell of a butler."

"Uh, right, okay", Azzurro stuttered. On the walls, shadows of feathers rained down, but the room was clear. The shadowed feathers darkened the walls.

"As long as my master holds the contract, I am his loyal servant." Sebastian removed his left glove. "A wish. A sacrifice. And this. All of these things keep me bound to Lord Phantomhive. Until the day I swallow his soul."

"Unfortunately, for you, this game is over", Ciel said. Everything in the room went black. I looked around in a panic and let out a slight whimper of fear. I was terrified of total darkness.

I couldn't move well yet, but the bleeding had stopped. I heard someone gasp and whispers following that. Soon, the lights came back on, revealing a room with no one in it. I looked around frantically. I was terrified of being alone, too.

I was breathing heavy, now, and didn't know what to do.

"C-Ciel?" My voice was barely a whisper and, for a moment, everything was quiet. I lied my head down on the floor and heard a voice.

"I'm right here", he said. I carefully looked up and saw Ciel right beside me. I let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Sebastian. Help her."

Sebastian looked at me and started walking towards me. After everything that I had seen, I was afraid. I began to tremble slightly and wanted to back away, but I couldn't move in the belts and chains. Ciel noticed my fearful state and sighed. He motioned for Sebastian to stop and he did. Ciel looked at me.

"You saw everything?", he asked. I nodded. "Then, it's time that we told you everything."

I gave him a confused look and he began undoing the belts around me.

"Sebastian is a demon. Three years ago, I saw my parents burn in a house fire and I was abducted. They tortured me, similar to you, and humiliated me. I wanted revenge on those people and the people who killed my parents, so I summoned Sebastian. The mark on his hand and the mark in my eye match. The mark is our contract. He will help me get my revenge, but once I get it he gets to eat my soul in return. That is our contract", Ciel explained. He pulled the last leather belt off me and looked at me. "He won't hurt you, unless I order him to. And, I assure you, I will never order him to hurt you. Now, will you let him take the chains off your feet?"

I looked at my feet. Then at Sebastian. Then at Ciel. I smiled and nodded. Ciel motioned for Sebastian to come and he followed orders. Sebastian unchained my feet and looked at me.

"Can you stand?", he asked me. I leaned onto the wall for support and tried to stand. I was halfway standing when I fell back to the floor on my side. I looked up at him.
