Prologue: Contract

"Thy soul will be mine. Is that thy final answer?" A disembodied voice echoed, as a veil of cloudy darkness fell to disguise the writhing bodies.

He whimpered, his head aching. Only one angry thought had broken through the heavy grief and pain, "Yes! I demand it! I desire it! I need it! Revenge is my life now!" His calloused hands gripped the bars that prisoned him, and pressed his worn face between a gap. He shouted, his decision firm, "Free me, and I will become your master in life, and meal in death!"

The silence was stretching, few moans of pain rang from the devil's dying victims, "Very well...With thy words ye sealed the contract of our agreement. The contract," the voice, now decidedly feminine, paused, as a long black nail tapped over his right eye, "became thy right eye."

A splintering pain struck that eye, like lightning, and he screamed from reflex.

Thin hands cupped his face, slowing his cries, and a pair of soft lips met the skin of his right eyelid. The pain faded, in an instant, "Treat me kindly, Master…"

His eyes slid open, one shined with a glowing pentagram, and saw a human woman kneeling before him, his cage in ruin, "Ciel. I am Ciel." Her eyes were colored dark blue-grey.

A tiny laugh fled her lips, the sound somehow sad, "Very well, Master Ciel. Treat me kindly, won't you?"

A/N: I got stuck on Lady Exorcist, so out of spur of a moment I decided to start another story. Though this one will be a drabble series instead. I will admit this is also a way to see if I can get someone to help me to get me unstuck on Lady Exorcist.

As for this little tale, I'm not sure where to go with this. You readers are welcome to throw in suggestions!

Anyway, enjoy the snippet series! The update may be very sporadic though, and may be only updated when I feel like it.

EDITED as of 9.22.15, to makes it fit better with ch.14.
