The Difference in Our Eyes

"The Contract With a Demon"

"She isn't your master! I am! Now don't interfere with my buisness! This is an order!!" my father yelled at the door, and all I heard was Sebastian agree with his orders, and walk away from my door. Wait! What did he say? Doesn't Sebastain work for the two of us??

Ciel backed me into a corner. I looked into his eyes and they were burning with rage. I was afraid, He had never gotten this mad at me. I've been scolded before by him, and Sebastian, but never this badly. He grabbed my wrists with a tight grip and I winced in pain.

"P-please stop t-this.." I pleaded.

"What have you done to change your eyes?!?!" He shouted at me. I shook my head in refusal to speak, and tell him about the wish I had made 9 years ago. "Tell me now!!! Did you summen one and form a contract with it!?!?!? Answer me now!!!" He let go of my right wrist and slapped me. Releasing my other wrist, and sending me across the room. Hot tears rolled down my eyes as  I started to react to the pain flowing through my wrists and cheek.

Sitting up, I cupped my cheek and backed away from my father.  "If mom was here, she would have already stopped you!!" I screamed at him. Uh-Oh. Those were the last words I could've thought of before I saw a man turn into a demon, charging at me. He gripped me neck with both hands and squeezed.

"Sebastian.......help......me...." those words escaped my lips before everything started to turn black. But before I passed out to lack of oxygen, I saw my door burst open and Sebastian trying to tear my father off of me.

                                                                             ...The Next Morning...

Falling......black surrounds my entire being. I'm unconsicious; unaware of what I'm doing.

"E-.......ka!" A voice calls but I can barely hear it. "Erika!" The voice comes again, and this time it's louder. Who is it that is calling my name?? What do they want with me??

"Erika!!" The voice is loud. Clearly, the person that is calling my name is a guy. But who? "Erika!!!!!!" 

My eyes pop open and are blinded by sun light. I sit up, and my neck hurts. I gentely touch my neck, feeling the gaz, and bandage. What happened yesterday??  I ask myself, when I hear three knocks on my door. 

"Come in!" I called to them. Sebastian walked through the door with a tray of tea, croissants, and pills? 

"Your awake?? Thank God. I thought he would actually kill you." Sebastian spoke with relief in his voice. He set the tray down on the table, and took the tea and pills off. Sebastian walked to the bedside, and gave me one of the pills. "These are pain killers for your neck." He explained.

"What happened yesterday??" I asked him, while taking the small white pill with the tea he gave me. I set the cup on my lap and waited for a response from Sebastian. It was quite some time before he spoke.

"The mast-" He shook his head, "Your father doesn't like witch craft and spells, of making a deal or a contract with a demon. Once he saw your eyes, he immdiately thought you had formed a contract with a demon." Sebastian stopped and took a deep breath. "But once you brought your mother, something snapped inside him and he put his depression, and rage into hurting you. I'm sure he didn't mean to do that to you. He just wasn't thiking clearly." H stopped for me to give him a resopnse in my reaction to what had happened.

"He has a reson for doing those things, and I can forgive him for that, but what I can't do is let him choose my husband for me. Sebastian, gather the names of the guys that are to get married. And make sure their around my age. I don't want to marry a 26 year old, ok?" I asked, but also ordered him.
