The Wings of a Swan (SebastianXOC)

Well, This Was to be Expected

Ciel's 2nd person POV

Once Ciel regained consciousness, he looked around and took in his surroundings. He was in a mucky cell in a dark room surrounded by torture weapons. He shivered slightly. He felt blood drip down his split lip that was cut by a piece of glass, and he noticed he was still in his nightshirt. He tried to reach up and wipe away the blood and stand up, but his hands and legs were bound by thick leather straps. His eyepatch was nowhere to be seen, his Faustian Contract visible.

*Where the hell am I?!* he mentally shouted and closed his marked eye. Heavy footsteps approached the cell along with what sounded like four more people.

"Heh, looks like the brat is awake finally. Too much of the drug for such a small boy, eh?" The man leading the others chuckled once he entered the room.

Ciel was about to spit back a smart reply, but he was gagged. *Dammit...* The man walked over to the cell bars and smiled evilly.

"Aw, what's wrong? Something hurt your eye?" he cackled, reaching in and roughly grabbing his chin. "Even if your not in perfect condition you'll still fetch a high pri--." The man released Ciel's chin and walked backwards when he spit out the gag.

"The only thing that will be hurting is your pride if you don't return me to my manor." He smirked and closed his eyes. If his timing was accurate, Sebastian should be arriving soon enough and once the order is given he will save Ciel and dispose of these rats.

The man made a low growl and grabbed a rifle from the wall. "Shut up, you idiot!" He shouted and hit Ciel right in the jaw with the butt of the gun. Ciel fell to the side and made only a small sound of discomfort. His jaw throbbed slightly. He laughed slightly in amusement. "W-what are you laughing at?!" The man exclaimed, frightened greatly.

"Enough lollygagging, Sebastian. I've already suffered because of your delayed arrival. Now, hurry up and get me out of here!" Ciel ordered and opened his eye, the contract sign glowing.

Two shadows appeared behind the man and quickly, and silently disposed of the extra men. The leader turned around and shrieked, dropping his gun.

"You may do the honors..." Sebastian's voice echoed off the stone walls. Beside him, another pair of glowing fuchisia eyes appeared.

"Of course." A familiar voice answered, shadowy claws extending from her fingers. They impaled the man right through the stomach, the thick red liquids dripping from the tips. She pulled out her claws and chuckled as he screamed out in agony and fell to the ground, blood pooling around his body.

"Very well done, Alexis." Sebastian smiled as she diminished the demonic aura from around her body.

"That was tiring." She replied, clutching at her chest as she struggled to breathe. A chuckle escaped Sebastian as he stopped towards the cell and pulled apart the bars as though they were butter.

"About time, idiot." Ciel growled as Sebastian tore the binds off of his limbs and helped him to his feet. "I'm fine. It's only my jaw that's going to bruise."

"Are you sure, my lord?" Sebastian asked with what was clearly false worry in his voice. Ciel nodded and looked over at Alexis.

"What is she doing here?" Ciel asked angrily.

Sebastian answered. "She came to help out. After all, a demon's powers should be put to use whenever possible. Plus, she needs the practice." Ciel sighed and stoped out of the cell, Sebastian following him like a shadow.

Alexis waited for them to stop chit chatting and to get a move on, her arms crossed. "Are you two do--"

CRACK!!

The sound of a rifle being fired echoed through the small area, and it wasn't until a few seconds later did Alexis feel the splitting pain in her side and the blooding dripping down her body. She crumpled to the ground and screamed out in pain and fear, her wings exploding from her back. With the tears in her eyes blurring her vision, she saw the leader glaring at her weakly with the gun he had dropped in his hands. A small trail of smoke rose from the tip of the weapon.

"S-Sebastian...!" She stuttered weakly, her vision beginning to darken around the edges. The last thing she saw before passing out was Ciel's shocked face as Sebastian ran to her side and gently picked her up, fear clear in his eyes.

*Am I going to die?*
