Chapter 1: The Encounter
I look up... " hmmm .. cloudy day today.. It's about to rain soon.. I better head back"
It's still 5 pm , but the environment sure is getting dark. Walking through the empty hallway from the school library, I went straight to my locker to get my stuff. Then I heard the guys from the football team returned.
"Well, well.. look what we have here..Isn't it a surprise. Mr. Freak , nice to see you." , says one of the guys. Then he pushed me so hard that I slumped towards my locker. He started groping me from the back.. Shit, this guys are damn annoying to the core.
"Let us play with you Mr. Freak, you have always been my type. Slender lad like you must have a beautiful body.You must taste good too. I bet you haven't been laid." He started to unzip my pants , and I was crying that I bit my lip so hard it started to bleed. I wanted to scream for help ,but I can't find my voice.
Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing. He froze as if there was something that he saw. And he was sent flying to the back row . Everyone who's with him were frozen, with the look of fear in their faces. There is this feeling again. It was that same feeling I have back when I was still in the orphanage. When I turned to look up, all of them fled. Then he was not there anymore. So I picked up my things, and fixed myself. My entire body's trembling, not because of fear but because I am so angry. I always feel so helpless.. Do I look so weak to them, that I am easily picked on?
I went straight out of the university and back to my pad. I threw all my things in the sofa, heading straight to the bathroom and took a long, hot bath. I slam my fist on the bathroom wall and gave a loud scream "Fuck them all!.. Still the same, since the beginning I am treated as a freak and a trash." Then I cried. After that, I felt so heavy. I went straight to bed without dinner.
In the middle of the night, I was profusely sweating. I was in the middle of nowhere, I kept running and running and a pack of hungry ,huge white wolves are chasing after me. Suddenly a huge bird grab me from behind. It's talons so sharp it's digging into my leather jacket. Then as if, out of nowhere I heard it's voice..
"Climb into my back, and hold tight. I'll take you to safety. Why didn't you call for me? You know I will come.."
When we landed, I was trembling.. I look up and I saw it shape shift into a human form. The first thing I notice, are his eyes. Red eyes with slits like that of a snake.
Then I heard him say, "Come to me, I have been waiting for you for so long." He held out his hand..
I woke up panting, my hands were shaking. My whole body's trembling. Then I look outside, there is a crow sitting just outside my window. It's looking at me. Eyes red as rubies and with slits like that of a snake. I was stunned , frozen to bed. That is IT .. I called that entity IT as I really don't know what it is.
IT is beckoning me to open the window sill. And as if in a trance, I did. The crow went in ,hovering over me before it settles at the foot of my bed. Suddenly it became darker than it already was. The crow transformed into something— human?! I noticed it bit by bit. He is tall, strong built, broad shoulders, dark hair black as ebony and very handsome.
Then he spoke, "I finally found you. My life mate. My soul, my everything." The next thing I know, I was in his arms. And he whispered softly, "Call me, Sebastian Michaelis. I will come back for you before you now it. For now, this is goodbye." He kissed me , deeply and I felt his fangs nip my lips. Blood and saliva , I never thought it tastes so sweet. Then he was gone. I was left there standing, I didn't know for how long. But when I regain my consciousness, I felt my knees weakened. I step back and sat in my bed. Bringing my fingers to my lips, I felt it . There's a slight pain where his fangs sink in, but there is no wound.Looking at the window, it was close.. "I guess I am just hallucinating." So I creep back to bed, and there I saw a single black feather. I picked it and fingered it then put it on top of my bedside table. Then I went back to sleep, this time I slept so peacefully. Dreaming of black feathers swirling all over me.
The following day...
Everything is bright, I smiled. But I was frozen when I saw the black feather in my bedside table. What happened last night was real. He was there and he told me his name. I fingered my lips, and whispered his name "Sebastian ..."
I went to the shower and got ready to go to the public library. There's something I need to look into. "Life mate?! ... what is that all about? I am his , my soul and my everything is his?.. What the hell is going on?" This is really a big puzzle for me. I wonder who I can talk to about it? But I have no friends or close people for me to call to. If this has something to do with my life, I think the best person to go to is my father. But where is my father? Who is my father? No, I rather die than contact him or search for him. I need to do this on my own, like I use too. Deal my problems by myself.
With a deep sigh, I went out and head to the library. The librarian knows me very well already. I am the first to come and the last person to go out in there. That's what I do on my free days.
"What to look for, where to start? Damn... this is starting to annoy me" Then I picked up a book about vampires and spirits .. I started reading it .. I didn't know for how long I was sitting on the floor , I was too absorb on what I was reading. I didn't even notice that there's someone sitting next to me.
Until I started to get that feeling that someone is staring at me. I looked slowly and there he is, just staring at me. I fidget and backed away, well that's the normal reaction ...what else would one do? Then he cast his look on the floor, he felt pained. I don't know why, but I just sensed it.
He then spoke in a painful voice, "I showed myself to you, this is what I get? Am I that scary? We used to hang out together..You talked a lot to me..Pour your everything to me..I thought that you will feel happy if you see me in reality.But I guess I am wrong. I have showed up in the wrong time. If you were that afraid of me,then it's better not to show myself. I should go, sorry for bothering your reading."
He was about to turn into a mist when I regained my composure and said "Wait,don't go Sebastian." Still unable to look at him straight in the eye, afraid that he might be able to read them. " I am sorry, I was just so surprised to find you sitting next to me. Please stay." I offered my hand to him and as if on cue, he took it and sat next to me. He didn't said a word, he just smiled.
We sat there in silence. Moments later, Sebastian started to speak.
"Ciel, are you somehow happy to see me? " he asked.
Without waiting for my reply, he continued.. "If you asked me, I am very happy. Being able to sit beside you today, just being like this makes me happy. I have been waiting for eternity to be with you.It's a long,long time. But I need you to come to me. This is not the place where I should be. I am somewhere else in this world.Come to me Ciel. "
I was stunned by his words.
Long,long time. Come to me.. Not in this place.. What is he trying to say? I cannot comprehend any of it at all. I need him to tell me what it was he is trying to say and where can I find him? But I am pulled into a tight embrace and when I look up ,he claimed my lips. The kiss he gave me is probing, full of longing. It's somewhat erotic to think that I felt so hot, the very core of my being is pulled towards him --just by the kiss. Then without a word, he was gone.
I was left there, gasping.. All flushed and utterly confused. I held my pounding heart, and bent my head .. I am so confused. I have never felt like this in my entire life. I am suppose to feel disgusted. Being kissed --not to mention by a man. But I never felt any disgust towards that kiss,instead I am longing for more.. Wait , what?!!!! What the fuck am I saying?!! I shook my head, no ..no ..this is not real. Just my imagination. Then I felt another feather in my hand. Black feather!!!! oh my fucking god , it is real! I covered my mouth, preventing a scream to come out.
I sat there,staring at the feather. Black and shiny as ebony.. It felt so good to touch. My head is now screaming "Someone help me understand all this..."
I look at my watch, it's 5:30 pm already. Oh man, I even forgot to eat my lunch. I pocketed the feather, then pick up the books and returned them to the shelves. I lost count of the time. Dang it! When I pass by the librarian's desk, something caught my eye. It's an orb, a black crow with ruby eyes encased inside. I went to take a closer look. I was about to pick it up when I heard the librarian's voice ..
"That's the demon called Malphas. He's one of the higher ups in the lesser house of Solomon. It is said that he can grant any person's wishes.No matter how impossible it can be.He will grant it.But in exchange, he will take your soul. You will become his--for eternity." She looked at me with earnest, and said, "I heard you are studying Demonology. I bet you're familiar with him. "
"No, I am not. We haven't reached that part yet." I retorted and smiled at her.
"Well Ciel, if you wish to know more about him let me know. I have the right books for that. " she chuckled. Then asked me, "Do you like that orb?"
"Huh?! , er.. well... yes I do.. Where can I buy one?"
"You can have that, in fact someone came here earlier today when I opened the doors. He was a tall man. So handsome, black hair with an unwittingly ,eerie smile. And piercing eyes that has the color of gold and cinnamon almost like red rubies. And told me to give that to you. Your name is carved on the bottom as well. He said his name is Sebastian. " Then she look at me, with a questioning look in her eyes ..
"Oh, really?! For real?!!" I flip the orb, and there it was.. In Gothic "TO MY CIEL !" I gasp, my hands are shaking. Then I look at her and said my thanks.
" I will let you know when I need those books that you were saying earlier. Thank you again. Sorry for keeping you. Bye for now. " and with that, I took my leave. Putting the orb in my bag , I look up and saw the moon. It's full moon. Then I smiled to myself and went away from the building, onto the 12th street to get dinner before heading home.
