A/N: I can't seem to deviate from this. Ciel was interesting enough as a human. As a demon, even more so. Anyways, the point of this is to develop his character throughout the length of these drabbles. Also, it's a commitment challenge, as I would like to finish a multi-chapter story for once . I'm real excited about it.

Without further ado. Done in Ciel's POV to start things off. I'm apologizing in advance if too OOC.

The story of my life has been an endless river of blood. I was born into this world covered in it, I died on a pagan alter, only to return a child cursed by a damning contract with a demon, and so I was reborn. I have trouble remembering things from those times – the flashbacks of half-recalled memories haunt me still. But I remember falling and being in water. Slowly sinking into the deep blue, until a hand grabbed me, pulled me close, and greeted me with a sharp stab of pain. I hadn't expected he'd try to kill me.
