Rebirth

Hey everyone. This is my first fanfic on AFF, so I hope you like it! Please R & R!

It’s dark.

As I plunged down into the depths of the water, that was my first thought. Strangely, I was not uncomfortable despite the lack of air or light. Actually, I felt strangely relaxed, almost inhumanly so. Of course, that was because I wasn’t human anymore. Honestly I was actually a bit disappointed. I thought the transformation would be something more dramatic, something flashy and a change to my appearance. Though, I thought I preferred it this way. It would vex him so much more. Now that was something to look forward to. The demon that had degraded himself countless times to nurture the soul that he would one day devour, is now trapped in an eternal servitude with the one he was to devour. How wonderfully ironic!

Ah! I smell the faint tang of blood. My blood. Strange, I didn’t even feel the pain. And now light, is that, yes the moon. Strange, was it always that bright? And have there always been that many stars?

As I glanced around me, I noticed so much more. I could see with such vivid detail that I couldn’t even have imagined as a human. And the sounds. The gentle movement of the water by the boat, and the sounds of the creatures of the night prowling in the distance. But the most striking of all, Sebastian. I had never truly seen him before. His raven hair flowed softly in the breeze, wafting a warm musky scent through my nostrils and settling low in my abdomen.  And his eyes. Striking rubies against his alabaster skin that seemed to look straight through me into my soul, or into where my soul had been.

Wait, that look. Sadness. I had expected disappointment, anger, even resentment. But sadness? I suppose that was reasonable, he was sad that he would never be able to devour my soul. Or he could he have been mourning the loss of his freedom? But maybe, just maybe, could he be sad that I lost my soul to another? Could I hope even a little that it is me he is sad for and not just himself? I stare into his eyes, and try not to flinch under that piercing gaze. I wanted to know.

“It was quite a sudden greeting,” I said, rubbing the place where he’d stabbed me, “Trying to kill me before I reawakened as a demon?”

I hoped that I had become better at hiding my emotions as a demon, because at that moment I did not want him to see the insecurity behind my words.

 “No, I though I should confirm whether you had really awakened as a demon or not,” he answered, his expression undiscernibly frozen. It was terribly like him to stab someone as an experiment on their newfound immortality.

“I see. Grasping the situation accurately, is it?” I reply, slowly bringing myself to stand in front of him. I needed to be above him for my own sake. I knew I had the upper hand, but still…

“It’s the correct decision as a butler,” I continued, letting a cynical smile play across my face. He was mine now, forever, whether he liked it or not. With the thought, I felt a heat behind my eyes, and knew my eyes glowed red, just as his did when I knew he was thinking wicked thoughts.

“I will never be able to eat your soul,” he said, though his voice did not convey the sadness I had glimpsed before. And with a quick glance to his eyes, I saw that his expression was not sad, but very serious. Had he resigned himself to his fate? After all, now that he can never eat my soul, he can never escape my final order.

You will forever be my butler.

Ok so this is only an introduction. We will work our way up to the smuttiness, that is, if I get some nice reviews. So R & R!!!
