Chapter 7: Disowned
"Who are you and what have you done to Dumon?!" Nash yells at me.
"Nash what's...wrong?" Marian asks as she and the others are running up to me and Nash. They all see me including Don, they all look frightened and worried.
Don gently pushes Nash behind him as if to protect him.
"Who are you and what are you doing here demon?" Don asks me in a threatening tone.
"Don it's me, I made a deal with a demon to become one myself." I say back, sounding a bit upset that they're all looking at me like I'm some evil creature come to terrorize them.
"Lier, our friend would never do such a thing! Now what have you done with Dumon?!" Marin yells at me.
"Marin I'm right here, nothing has changed since I've become a demon. I'm still the same Dumon you've always known." I say in a gentle voice, I don't feel like yelling would get through to them.
"Likely story, you manipulated then killed Dumon in an attempt to try and get to the rest of us by taking his place as an emperor." Don says, his face showing disgust at what I have become.
"That's not true!" I yell back, taking a step towards them. Don pushes the other emperors back to keep them away from me. "I am the same Dumon you have all always known but I'm a demon now."
The others don't listen, instead of listening to what I have to say they shout insults at me and tell me to go back to where I came from. I felt so heartbroken that my friends who I considered my family would say such hurtful things to me. And Don, someone who I've looked up to like a father disowns me.
'You are not my son you vile creature.' Don mentally says to me.
I look down in shame, I turn and walk away while the other emperors continue to call me names. I walk away from the life I've always known. That's when I remember what Hannah said when we made the contract.
"But what you hope to find, you will not gain."
She knew all along this would happen to me, I was taught by Don never to trust a demon but I let my depression get the better of me. And now I'm truly alone, but there's nothing I can do. It's to late to go back now. I have no where to go and I'm certainly not going to go back to Hannah and beg her to change me back.
The only person that I can think of that might take me in is Ceil since his right hand man is a demon himself. I make an Overlay Network to the Phantomhive Estate and go through as quickly as I can. Once there I knock on the door, a maid answers the door. I keep my head down and my hands in my pockets.
"Can I help you sir?" She asks happily.
"May I speak to Sebastian please?" I say in a flat tone.
The maid found this odd but allowed me in, I wait in the main hall while she went to get Sebastian. A few minutes later she returned with both Sebastian and Ceil, I'm sure Sebastian could tell I was a demon just by looking at me.
"Mey-Rin you can return to your chores now." Sebastian says nicely.
"Oh yes right Sebastian." Mey-Rin says and gets back to her chores.
I watch as Mey-Rin leaves, while Sebastian and Ceil walk down the stairs to me.
"Who are you and what brings you to my estate?" Ceil asks me, cutting the pleasantries.
"My name is Dumon Seraph and I've come seeking guidance from Sebastian."
"My my, so Hannah was telling the truth after all." Sebastian says with a bit of amusement.
I look up at him surprised, my blood red eyes can clearly be seen now. He just chuckles at my surprise, I feel hopeless and broken.
"Master if you don't mind I would like to teach the boy."
"Fine just make sure he doesn't get in the way." Ceil says bored.
I thank them both and Sebastian starts right away with teaching me how to use and control my new abilities.
