"Gosh Blue! I'm going to have a lot of dedications because you know my comments are the best! =P <--Totally not conceited... OMG! It ended too soon! I want to freaking know what's up with Firo! Oh! And I like Kendal now cause he wouldn't let Ceil cancel his date with Firo. I'm mad at Cam now though. He had to pull Ceil away from Firo! Meanie! I was enjoying that scene! -_- And Chris... Just, um, wow. I don't like him either. He's scaring Ceil away from the date! Can't wait until next chapter! I'll try to keep the bugging you to upload down to once an hour. I don't know though...

Winning Comment! Made me laugh! XD Yeah, you're bipolar. And I freaking love how you spell Ciel like ceiling and not Ciel! :) Okay, now to read!
-Chapter Nine-
In the end I decided to go and was in the car with Firo feeling hornets in my stomach, not butterflies just hornets. I decided that having Firo bite my neck out was slightly more terrifying than having Chris murder me. The ride was in silence and when he opened the door and climbed out I stood there for a while before deciding to climb out and go into the house right behind him. The place was hallow. Like no life.
“Um...Is there suppose to be anyone here?” I frowned looking around and back at Firo who smirked. Suddenly someone was next to me. It was an elderly man who offered to take my sweater from me.
“Come on,” Firo said as he grabbed my hand in his pulling me away from the butler who took my sweater. When I turned back to thank him he was gone.
“He’s gone,” I said in puzzlement with a frown.
“He does that,” Firo said as if it explained everything.
“Oh-kay,” I drawled and realized I was being towed through a maze. “Where are you taking me?”
“You’re going to meet my parents.”
I dug my feet to the ground and shook my head furiously.
“Nah-uh!” I exclaimed pulling away from his grasp. “I am not meeting some freaking vampire’s parents!”
“Vampire?” He arched a brow and smirked as he leaned into my ear pressing his lips teasingly to my ear. “I’m not a vampire. You should know better.”
“Then what are you?!” I exclaimed trying to sound strong, but it came out as a gasp.
“I’m...a...merman,” he whispered. I pulled back with a glare.
“That is not funny!” I stomped my foot angrily.
“It was.” He grinned. “Your face was priceless.”
“Shut. Up.” He shrugged and grabbed for my hand pulling me along.
He came to a stop in front of two large doors make of pure oak before pushing them open. I stared in awe, if it had been me I would have needed a few people to help me push those doors open. But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw behind those doors.
My parents were seated there talking with two other adults. My younger twin siblings were sitting with a small boy who looked like a much smaller Firo, the man who spoke to my parents had a similar resemblance to Firo as did his wife.
“What are you guys doing here?” I frowned at my parents and at a smiling Madison and Noah.
“Ciel!” The twins rushed over, each taking a hand. “Come play with us and Nathan.”
I was assuming the boy that was eying me curiously was Nathan.
“Noah, Madison, let Ciel have time to speak with us first,” my dad asked them gently.
“‘Kay!” They agreed together as they went back to Nathan.
“Nathan, why don’t you show them to the playroom?” The man said to the younger boy who nodded and took the twins with him having opened the door all by himself before closing it behind him with a loud thud.
“How did he-?”
“Ciel, it’s time we talk,” my mom interrupted me.
“Uh, okay?” I said, but it came out as a question.
“Have a seat.” The woman smiled as she waved towards an empty love seat. I made my way towards it sitting. “I am Reila Laforet and this is my husband Alexander Laforet.”
“You’re Firo’s-?”
“Parents,” she finished with a smile. “Our younger boy is Nathan Laforet.”
I nodded still not fully understand what it was this was leading to. They understood my confusion and turned to my parents to continue.
“You see Ciel, we have known the Laforet family for a while now,” my father continued. “They have been close to us for centuries.”
“Centuries?” I arched my brows. “You mean, you’ve known them for a long time?”
“No, Ciel, centuries,” my mother corrected me.
“Okay,” I drawled a bit scared at what was coming next.
“You see the Castillo family and the Laforet family had a fiend way back in the day,” my father began. “And my father and Alexander’s father came with the agreement that since both Alexander and I were male we would unite our heirs together as a peace agreement.”
“But Firo and I are both male!” I exclaimed, nothing else came to mind. Centuries? A fiend? An agreement of uniting heirs?
“We know that sweetheart,” my mother scoffed. “But you two seem willing enough, and we can’t unite Madison and Nathan.”
“Why not?!” I demanded.
“Because they don’t imprint on each other or else they would be inseparable, but Madison is a twin,” my father responded with a sigh. “The closest person she’s going to be with is her brother.”
“You mean Noah and Madison are going to-?” I said with widen eyes.
“Heavens no!” My father laughed. “But if they imprint it will be with another pair of twins.”
“Oh!” Realization hit me. “So no one else can imprint with Firo?”
“You can’t just imprint with one another because you choose to,” my mother continued. “You are born to be paired.”
“I was born to be paired with Firo?!” I demanded as I stood. Firo stiffened by me, but continued to say nothing. “That’s stupid! I’m normal! I’m human!”
“You’re not normal,” my father murmured gently. “You’re a submissive, so you’ll develop slower, like your sister. But your brother has already started his development.”
“What the hell are you guys talking about?!” I was outraged.
“Ciel, you’re not human,” my father responded. “We come from an ancient demon family.”
“And so do the Laforet,” my mother informed.
“But you went to high school not to long ago! You couldn’t be living centuries when you were young!”
“A demon does not mature until they find their partners for life,” Alexander explained. “Until then we stay fairly young, and even when we find our life partners we do not age pass the age of your father and I.”
“You mean no demon goes without a partner?” I frowned.
“Exactly,” my parents said together. “Even if we have to wait centuries to find them or wait for them to be reincarnated.”
“Are you serious?” I asked one last time. “You’re joking, right?”
“No.” Reila shook her head sighing. “Since you were children Firo was infatuated with you, but then you refused to see him anymore.”
“Infatuated?!” I gaped “He’s beat me up!”
“Yes, but that is because he is dominant in a relationship with another male,” Reila continued to explain. “He had to show his dominance towards you.”
“So he’d beat me up to prove he was in charge of our relationship?” I was met by nods. “Bull shit!”
“Ciel, watch your mouth,” my mother warned.
“No,” I growled nonchalantly. “This is stupid! A pathetic excuse for a joke!”
“Ciel,” Firo finally spoke as he stood and took hold of my hand. “Please, understand.”
“No!” I pulled away from him. “You were sucking face with Chris just today!”
“I wasn’t,” he urged to explain. “I was feeding. Traditionally a dominant feeds from his submissive, but you don’t like me feeding from you.”
“‘Cause it’s not normal!” I proclaimed, he took my cheek in his hand comforting me and I visibly relaxed at his touch. I knew if I didn’t pull away I would give in. Suddenly Hunter came through the door along with Zack looking at me with some sort of pity.
I pulled away.
“Ciel, we’re going.” Hunter grabbed my hand and pulled me away with Zack walking behind us as if protecting me.
“Where are you taking me?” I demanded.
“This was not how you were supposed to find out,” Zack explained. “It was not appropriate.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Our heritage is rare and you were not supposed to learn this way,” Hunter said as we made our way through the maze-like hallways.
“You’re not taking him.” Firo appeared in front of Hunter with bright red eyes.
“If you know what’s good for you you’ll move,” Hunter warned as his eyes began to glow with the same malice. “He’s not staying with you.”
“Hunter,” my father appeared from behind us. “This is a pact.”
“They don’t deserve a pact after what they did to us!” He growled pulling me close behind him. “No way am I letting them have Ciel.”
“I know you two are like fathers to Ciel as well, but Firo won’t hurt him,” my father reasoned.
“Firo is just like them!” Hunter growled.
“He’s their offspring,” Zack snarled.
“I know that,” my father said slow and steady. “But Ciel is in good hands.”
“Kane, you’re bloody insane if you think we’re leaving Ciel to them,” Zack said.
“What do you mean leave me?” I turned to my father.
“As a part of the imprinting process you would have to live with Firo from now on,” my father explained. “It won’t be like you’re not allowed out, you can come visit.”
“Are you insane?” I gasped. “ I am not living with him.”
I glared as I looked over at Firo who sighed and came closer taking my hand in his pulling me away from Hunter who growled at him. He ignored it as his eyes met mine capturing me.
“Please, Ciel,” he pleaded. “Stay with me.”
“I...I c-can’t,” I stammered. He pulled me close to him his face coming close to mine as our breaths mingles and his lips brushed mine making me shiver.
“Please,” he murmured against my lips.
I shook my head slowly and then he captured my lips one last time before Hunter tore me away and Zack got between him and Firo.
“Ciel,” he pleaded with me.
“No!” I shouted gripping Hunter’s arm in comfort. “You’re not human! I don’t want to be with you! Leave me alone.”
“Is that what you really want?” He asked.
“I...I don’t know!” I finally admitted as I felt like I was tearing apart.
“Ciel, please don’t go.” Firo was reaching for me when suddenly everything around me began to shift and I was no longer in Firo’s house. I was with Zack and Hunter at their house away from my parents, away from Alexander and Reila, and away from Firo.
“Are you okay?” Zack kneeled before me brushing away the tears like I was a child. I nodded, but the tears continued to fall as I sniffled.
“Come on,” Hunter said as he walked up the stairs and into a room where I would probably be staying. “You can sleep here, we’ll explain everything tomorrow, okay?”
I nodded and they left me to myself as I climbed into the bed burying my face in the pillow before going to sleep.
A/N: Better comment if you want the next chapter~! :P
What gets me is that Firo invited Ciel for dinner and they didn't even get that! x)
So if you haven't read This Is Bloody Life for me then fine! I get it... you don't want to...*sniff* It's okay, it's not like I'm hurt about it...I am totally hurt about it! I even added slash in it for you guys! And I need advice about making River and Kane into a thing in there... :'(
The song explains a lot of things about Ciel and Firo's lack of connecting. Except for the "you're a pycho bitch, but the sex is good so I think I'll keep you around...ahem what?!" part...well Firo might think that... -_-'
And oh my freaking BA-Geez-its whose that! That is Hunter and Zack (Ben Barnes), in case you don't remember they are Ciel's protective uncles! :) ---->
FYI: Reila is pronounced Ray-la, in case you didn't know. :)
So comment and whatever it is you do on here. :P
