The Demon Inside

Chapter 10

After a bit more convincing, Sebastian allowed you to dust the library, you weren't strong enough to use your demonic powers to finish fast, so you had to do it the slow boring human way.

Even though the cleaning was relaxing you were still on edge. You constantly felt eyes in the back of your head. Currently you were weak but your dead soul was still going strong and drawing all sorts of demons to you. In your current state you couldn't even fight off the lower powered demons.

You hated the fact that no matter where you dusted, your back was to the rest of the room leaving you open. It unnerved you. It didn't help that you were the only one in the room, Sebastian not trusting the trio alone with you. Sebastian himself was out with Ciel doing market research for new sweets.

If someone wanted your soul, now would be the time to attack. Any little sound, made you jump out of your skin, it wasn't very often you were this nervous. You didn't know if it was paranoia or if there was actually someone watching and waiting.

The door behind you slammed open, you jumped and turned on your heels, launching the duster at the attacker "Owwwww! (Y/N) what was that for".

You froze at the familiar voice "Finny?"

"Yes (Y/N)?" Finny was rubbing the spot on his head that had been hit by the duster you had thrown.

"Oh hell, I'm sorry Finny. You made me jump" you ran over to his side removing his hand from his head to inspect the wound.

"It's ok I shouldn't have slammed the door open like that" he smiled to you.

"Come on let's get you some ice" you grabbed his wrist and pulled him down to the kitchen.

*Time Skip*

It turns out that Finny has come to tell you it was lunch time for the servants. After getting Finny some ice and making sure that he kept it pressed against his head, to seem like a normal human, you ate the food that was prepared.

The food wouldn't hurt you, it just tasted like nothing and had a weird texture in your mouth. You hid the disgust that would have settled on your face, not wanting to offend Bard who had made the meal without creating a mess... for once.

Once finished you checked over Finny's head again and replaced his ice before heading off back down the corridor to the library since it still wasn't clean.

You walked almost in a daze thinking back on your time working for Ciel, it was the first time in a long while you weren't lying around bored, waiting for your food to wander into your trap. For once your were actually constantly busy, your life having completely turned around.

You were so deep in thoughts that your already filled senses didn't alert you to the hand that reached out to grab you. Pulling you into a nearby empty dark storage room.

You hit the floor, hard, your eyes quickly adjusting to the dark just in time to see a scraggly looking man tackle you back to the floor and then using all his weight to pin you to it.

He gave you a smile allowing you to see his sharp white demonic teeth "your soul, I could smell it, even from the depths of hell".

You growled and tried to change into your own demonic form to be able to fight back, you fazed in and out not being able to hold the form as you were still too weak. The dirty demon lent in close to your neck and breathed in your scent, deeply.

"What's this?" The demon ran his tongue over the fresh mark that Sebastian had planted on you.

It burnt from his touch and put you in extreme burning pain. Enough to make you yell out "STOP. Please don't touch it, it hurts".

You heard a deep laugh that resonated from the demons chest "it's not going to hurt as much as when I rip your soul from your body. Now tell me what is it?"

"I'm a demon. It's a mate demon mark you should know that, so don't touch me as we are the same" you growled.

"You think I care that you're a demon. It's not often I find such a great smelling soul that's easy to collect, usually there's a contract involved and I don't have the patience for that" He gripped your neck cutting off your air supply, not that it mattered since you didn't really need to breath.

You turned away from him, not wanting to watch him rip your soul from your body. A glint caught your eye and your eyes locked in to the source... a sword, an old one, but still a sword. You reached your hand out struggling to grab the swords sharp edge that was closest to you.

Your hand tightly gripped it, which cut your hand blood spilling and dripping to the floor, you slid the sword closer to you, seeing no hilt. Knowing this you still grabbed the sharp edge and just in time thrust the sword through the demons chest aiming for his heart.

The shriek that emitted forced you to curl up and cover your ears, spreading the blood from your hand to your face, you knew the scream could be heard for miles, and by no doubt everyone in the house could also hear it.

You stood but couldn't go anywhere as he was by the door blocking your exit. "Now I'll have to take your soul to make up for the damage".

He stood, still bleeding, as you had missed his heart. The sword was still lodged in his chest as he didn't bother to remove it. Blood flowed down his leg and to the floor every step he took stalking closer to you teasing.

*Sebastians POV*

Ciel was boring you with his sweet testing nonsense, despite your best efforts to stop him from spoiling his dinner. Your butler duties meant that you had to be attentive and alert.

But that was difficult as all day your senses had been spiking telling you that (Y/N) was in danger, it had been like this since early that morning and she had seemed fine before you left so thought nothing of it.

You were quickly corrected when some thing inside your heart started to severely burn almost enough that you had to bend forward and clutch your chest in agony... like something was being taken away from you.. something important.

(Y/N)'s being taken away from me...

You sucked in a breath and your eyes widened "my lord (Y/N)'s in trouble and unable to defend herself".

Ciels head snapped to you "what do you mean?"

"There is something at the estate trying to take her soul" you stressed.

"And why should I care" Ciel turned away from you uninterested.

"She will be killed or even kidnapped and your investigation on her would be bust" you responded knowing that would get him to take action for her.

"Save her. That's an order" Ciels head snapped back to you.

You reacted instantly grabbing Ciel and then speeding away making it back to the mansion in record time, Ciel still in your arms. You came screeching to a halt at the front doors, dropping Ciel just as your senses dropped and you couldn't sense where (Y/N) was. This left you to frantically rush around until the strong small of her blood caught your attention.

The room was one of the old storage rooms, the smell of her blood and the location worried you, running footsteps of the other servants could be heard as you have in and opened the door slowly.

Inside (Y/N) was no where to be seen, instead a low powered demon was pinned up in the crucified position, like Jesus on the cross. Blood dripped from his multiple wounds. He was dead. You couldn't sense or smell (Y/N) except form her drying blood telling you that she was gone. No longer in or around the estate.
