Behind those eyes {black butler fanfic}

Act III ~ a new contract

I fucked up.

Pretty simple way of putting it, but that's what had happened. I messed up to the extreme. I was now chained in a dark, solace room, with the dripping of a stray water drop as my only means of sound.

Heh. Kind of reminds me of my first memory as a demon.

If you want to know how exactly I managed to screw up my first command from my master as a demon, then please continue to read.

I had just got to Ciel Phantomhive's bedside. It was four o'clock in the morning so he was guaranteed to not be awake unless he was an idiot. I had a silver dagger in my right hand. Pretty stupid way to try and murder him but I had to try something. Anyway, he was under his covers contently and I couldn't see his face. I peeled the covers off .

I'm an idiot.

Underneath was a bunch of pillows stuffed up to make a human shaped mound. A Ciel shaped mound more specifically. I cursed myself underneath my breath. How could I have made a mistake so stupid and simple?

"A lady shouldn't curse like that" I gasped and turned around abruptly, my eyes slightly looking up at the crimson orbs looking back at me. "Or be holding a weapon so brutal for that matter too."

And then my vision turned black.

And here I am now. I don't even want to think about what might happen to me.

I heard the creaking and groaning of the prison door which was directly opposite me. I looked up to see Sebastian walk in with a young looking boy. That had to be Ciel. The Phantomhive boy was seemingly innocent, but I could see in his visible eye that he had seen much pain and suffering. I don't even want to know what was behind that other eye.

He just stared at me, as if I was a puzzle and he was trying to work me out. Or as if I was a monster. I felt very conscious of his gaze upon me, and I had no idea why.

"This really tried to kill me? Sebastian, I hardly doubt this girl could've done much." With those words, I instantly came to hate the boy. Thinking I'm weak because I'm a girl? Stereotypical or what?

"Don't underestimate her, my lord, she's a demon too." Sebastian replied in his thick English accent. The guy was sticking up for me, how sweet.

"Oh" was Ciel's answer.

"Look if I have no reason for to be here, can I please go? It's kinda boring down here." I muttered out of the blue, coldness and a hint of pleading in my voice.

"Oh gracious no" the demon clapped his gloved hands together. "You tried to kill the young master, the queen's guard dog, we can't just let you leave."

"Ugh"

"Well we'll decide on your judgement tomorrow" the black haired man continued. With those last words Ciel made his leave, Sebastian trailing behind him- who was talking to the smaller man about tea or something.

Now I was stuck down here for the meantime. I don't know what my master would say about this. He'd probably try and punish me. And not in that way, pervert.

My thoughts kept me occupied until I fell into a sort of meditational trance. It's the next best thing to sleeping I suppose. I fell "asleep" and let my thoughts consume me.

.........

I was walking in a town which I immediately recognised as my birthplace. I didn't know how I had got back here but my immediate first thought was to go and find my house. As I had grown up in my birthplace I practically knew it like the back of my hand.
It didn't take me long it and which came with the biggest shock of my life. There was my house, burning down in front of me, accompanied by the all too frightening screams of my parents.

"Mother! Father! Where are you?" I desperately howled out. I couldn't tell where their screams had come from and I really wish I could so I would at least have some idea of where they were.

"Ace sweetheart we're in the dining room!" My mother's honey sweet voice frantically called from the right side of the house. I ran as fast as my legs -or I should say my dress- would permit me to go.

When I got there, I was at no avail. All I saw was my parents slowly being engulfed by the flames. I let out a whimper. I sank to the ground and tears covered my eyes.

...............

I woke up with a scream.

I looked around the room as quick as I could, just to see I was in my little prison cell exactly where I was however long ago I started meditated. I sighed in somewhat content as I wiped the bead of sweat which was rolling down my face off of me. It was just a dream, and my parents weren't actually dead.

"Good morning again Miss Ace." The Devils handsome voice brought me out of my trance.

"Well hello there Sebastian, what a lovely day we're having" I countered in a sarcastically happy voice.

"Don't be like that" he pouted "I'm only here to tell you what your price to pay is for attempting to hurt my master.

I gulped. Well joy for me, right?
