Xavier glared up at the male that held him by his long purple hair. He wouldn't give this vile man the satisfaction of making a sound of pain. Thrown down on the stairs, the pale young boy tumbled down the marble staircase of his family manchien. Crying out in pain as his ribs cracked, the boy considered no more then a child curled up in pain as the man defended the stairs of the burning building. He threw his dagger, and it sank into the boy's shoulder. Crying out the young male bit back his cry of pain bitterly and was kicked into the wall. "You stupid spoiled brat! You shouldn't get caught up in these things. The real men always go for the kill!" The man snaffled and Xavier bravely spit in his face. The man drew his gun and pointed it at the child. "You will join your parents!" "I will kill you." Xavier growled and then pain exploded within him. Bullets were emptied into his body until he was hit in the heart. The young boy laid on the floor of the burning manchien as the murderer got away, and left the area. The boy fell into a dark black void, laying in thin air, above white feathers. Seeing anfigure come up he squinted and clenched his hands, unable to move the rest of his body. "Who's there?!" He demanded.

Slowly the figure approached, watching the boy with curiosity and as he drew closer you could make him out better. He had a rather nice tan and his white hair had a weird glow to it. "I was starting to wonder if I would ever find someone." he said as he got closer and studied the boy carefully. He seemed young, yet the rage and desire that was still in him was amazing. But under it he could see more, beyond the rage and blood thirst seemed something.. pure. "but you seem perfect to me, so tell me, what exactly do you want? why? and everything else you don't mind telling me. If your nice I might just offer to do something for you." he said as he sat down and even though something about him sent a shiver down your back he seemed kind of childish. He then smiled down at him, "dont be shy, I wont kill you... or at least not yet." he said as he watched him curiously.

Xavier stiffened as he saw the tanned male before him. He looked odd to say the least, powerful seemed the best way to describe him. The way that hair glowed signified he wasn't human, that much the boy knew. Glaring at the male the purple haired dead boy looked away again. "If you're an angel, I don't want your help. I can be dragged to hell for all I care." He spat spitefully and then looked at the man again. "I want to avenge my parents, and my death. I want to kill every single man that plotted against us, that set my home on fire." He growled, his eyes flashing with hatred. "I hate them all." He snapped and then looked at the male. "I want to kill them all, and I will give anything to have the power to do it." The young boy said in anger and it was painfully obvious how smart this boy was. How mature his soul was to be able to harbor such hatred when children like him only had love.

Smiling, he chuckled slightly, "well I have never been called that before. But I suppose I should either be flattered or horrified." he said as he looked at him. But as he listened to his wants, a slow smile spread across his face and he nodded to himself. Rubbing his chin, he thought some, "well I do have a offer for you that you might like." he said with a smile and then moved so that he was in the boys face, "what if I could give you that power? the power to get your revenge on everyone you want and to kill everyone you hate. I could and all that you have to do is give me one thing in return." he said and smiled more, "you just have to give me your soul at the end of this, you see your soul looks very.. tasty. So what do you say? deal or no deal?" he asked as he waited for his answer.

When the white haired male spoke, the young boy realized that he was the exact opposit of an angel. Gritting his teeth, he watched as the male got up in his face. If he had been able to move, he would have pushed the creature away. Though as he spoke, the boy couldn't think of saying no. A chance to kill al those he hated and wanted revenge from? He would never pass up that chance. "My soul? Take it in the end, I don't want anything but to kill them." Xavier said strongly and then met his eyes fearlessly. "Deal."

When he heard him, a smile ripped across Williams face, one that seemed all too demon like. "good, now then where to put it, where to put it." he said as he started to look around the boy. Slowly he started to tap his finger to his lips in though as he tried to figure out where to put it. He then sighed and looked at him, "are you apposed to me sticking my mark on your forehead? or would rather it be on your ear, neck, eye, or anywhere else. I prefer the face since it makes the seal more powerful, but what do you think?" he asked as he asked as he watched him carefully.

Unsure of what the male was talking about the boy got frustrated as he listened to him. "Any where works, I don't care. Just take an eye!" He snapped. He wanted to get this over with, to get back to his home and rebuild his empire he was born into. "I just want to be able to get back to my house and get things moving. I refuse to let things get out of my reach. I will kill all those men." He growled firmly. He wouldn't let this demon mess with him, not when he was so determined to get what he wanted.

William smirked when he heard him and nodded, "fine then, eye it is." he said and his hand shot out, grabbing his head and the palm of his hand rested of his eye. "might hurt." he said and with that he started to flood power into him. After a little while he pulled away and instead of his regular eye their was a pattern. He then smiled and stepped away, looking down at his palm to find the same pattern that was on his eye. Bowing down, he smiled, "thank you for making a deal with me, master, now I am here to serve you as you see fit." he said simply.

Xavier gasped as the pale was touching his eye. In a split second it felt like a dagger was being dragged over his eye. Writhing in pain and crying out as the realness of this set in. When the male pulled away, Xavier found he was able to move. Standing unsteadily he looked down at the male and suddenly the world around them shattered. Falling he gasped as he found himself in the arms of William, the devil he made the bargan with. He opened his good unmarked eye, the other bandages with the rest of his body. "William..." He started but his aunt rushed over and took him in a right embrace. Surprised he let her hug him and then stepped back. "Xavier thank the gods your alright!" She said and the young boy looked to the male in the butler outfit. "William saved me... How long has it been?" He asked and the woman smiled gently. "It's been three days. We almost lost hope but you pulled through." She said happily and he turned to Willaim. "Fetch my clothes." He ordered briskly.

William smiled as he watched him wake up and nodded when he opened his good eye, "good to see you awake, master." he said simply and was going to say more till his aunt came in. For the past three days he had been tending to him to make sure that he would pull through, even though he knew he would. But his Aunt had wanted to make sure that he would. William smiled at Ezaviers aunt, "you had no need to worry, I was sure he would, he is a strong boy after all, mrs." he said and when he heard Xavier he nodded. He then bowed, "yes, master." he said before heading over to the closet. He soon came back with some clothing and smiled at Xavier, "are you sure you can move, master?" he asked simply

Shocked at how it seemed only seconds ago he had been floating in the darkness, Xavier looked at William as he held out clothes to him. "Of course." the boy responded coldly, not completely trusting how obiedent the tanned male butler was. Touching his bandaged eye he had some idea of why it was that way, but didn't say anything. "Aunt please leave so I may dress." he said formally, and agreeing the female left the room. Once she was gone the boy staggered and fell against the tanned male, holding his chest in pain. Clsoing his good eye tightly, he could feel the specific spots in where the bullet holes were, and where he could probably poke his own finger into his body. It made him feel sick. He was like a human swiss cheese. "William, help me dress..." he rasped, trying to stand on his own and failing.

William smiled as the women left and watched as Xavier tried to stand. Frowning, he quickly caught him before he fell to the ground and looked down at him worried. He was too injured to be doing anything. THough when he tried to stand, he just shook his head and grabbed him before he could fall. "yes, master, but please try to not move, your still healing." he said softly, his voice holding care in it. He then set him on the edge of hte bed and started to dress him. ONce he was completely dressed, he smiled down at him, "now then, what would you like to do now master? eat? sleep? what ever you wish is my command." he said simply as he looked down at Xavier and waited for a order.

Xavier cringed as he felt William catch him, and allowed the male to set him back down upon the bed he had been on. Thankful to be dressed, the young boy then fel ta bit awkward as the butler looked down at him with such a chipper smile. Wasn't this man the devil? The one who made a deal to give him power to destroy all his enemies and then in return devoure his soul? Or was this all a dream, and William was a butler his aunt had gotten for him? "William, did you give me the mark?" the purple haired youth asked in s hushed tone. He didn't want anyone hearing this answer, expecially if any of his enemies were spying on him.

William saw the odd looks that Xavier was giving him and wondered if he had done something wrong. Yet when he heard him, he just simply nodded and smiled, "of course I did, it is the sign of our contract." he said as she slowly slid off his glove and their on the palm of his hand was his mark. "yours is on your eye though, that is why I bandaged it up. Couldn't be giving away to everyone that I have marked you." he said cheerfully as he tugged his glove back on. "but now till your mission is complete I am your simple servant. What ever it is what you want me to do I will do in a heartbeat." he said as he smiled down at him.

Seeing the matching symbol of his palm, the young boy nodded and then looked down at his hands after the butler finished speaking. The smile he wore was a bit more then the poilite it should be. Then sighing softly the child from thond they just started to leave the little boy alone. "Tuck me in and don't let my aunt in if she makes noise. I need rest to start formulating my plan."

William nodded and gently laid him down and tucked the blankets. "yes sir, I will make sure that nothing comes in and disturb your rest." he said as he smiled down at him. He then walked over and turned off the lights. "if you need anything your welcome to call, I will be at your side in seconds." he said as he headed to the door and then slowly closed it behind him. He then stayed right outside the door, making sure no one could disturb his master.

Xavier allowed the tanned butler to tuck him in and resting his head down, the child suddered. He hurt so badly that he wished to cry, but there were no more tears to shed, not after seeing his parents murdered before his own eyes. closing his eyes he was thrown into the world of nightmares that he was sure would plauge him for the rest of his life. Knowing that he needed to get up soon and start to rebuild his home, the young man awoke not an hour later. "Willaim." he called without raising his voice. He somehow figured that this butler of his could hear him even if he whispered his name. The man was the devil, after all.

William instantly opened the door when he heard Xavier and looked at him worried. "is everything okay, master?" he asked as he closed the door behind him and walked over. "I would of hoped that you would sleep longer then just a hour." he said as he watched him, worry crossing his eyes for a bit. He was sure that he still needed to rest, especially since he had wounds that needed to heal. But he wondered if the tole of watching his parents die was more painful then the actual wounds. He didn't really know since he didn't really have any family. He then met xaviers eyes, "do you want me to get you anything? warm milk? food?" he asked as he tried to figure out what he needed.

Hearing William enter, the young boy didn't answer at first. The images plauging his mind were horrific to say the very least. Looking up into those exotic eyes, Xavier found himself looking at the butler with no emotion. "I wil sleep more on the way back home. Call a carriage, and bring me something sweet to eat." the young master ordered and slouched against the pillow weakly after the butler turned around and had his back to him. clasping his shaking hands together, the young boy tried to do his best to dispell the terrifying thoughts within his head.

William nodded when he headed him and bowed, " yes master, right away." He said and then headed out of there. Yet he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with Xavier. Getting to the door, he turned back for a second, " if anything is the matter Xavier, your welcome to tell me anything. I am after all your servent, I won't let anything happen To you." And with that he dissappeared down the hallway and to the kitchen to get everything that his master wanted.

Even if Willaim said that, Xavier couldn't come to trust the man. He was, the devil. No one should trust the devil, of make a deal with one. The child had already done something wreckless, but that was because of his want to avaneve his parents. Waiting patiently for his butler. As he did, the male ran his hand slowly over the purple hair, and frowned deeply. Tempted to cut the locks to maybe get rid of the men pulling it to abuse and kill him. Maybe cutting it away would severe the horrible memories and keep them away from his mind. But he wouldn't do it now.

William soon came back and was humming softly with a goofy smile on his face. It was odd to know that this cheerful man was the devil, something that would and could kill everyone when he wanted. IN his hands was a tray of different cakes, some ice cream and chocolate milk. "I wasn't sure what you would like so I got a little bit of everything." he said as he placed it down in front of him. "also the carriage is on it's way. We should be able to get out of here in the next hour or so." he said as he looked down at him. "now anything else, mater?"

Was this man crazy? He seemed like it, and it was just odd to know he was the devil. "I will have a slice of cake and milk." The boy said smoothly and then watched William move. How odd, he didn't really have an evil auora that the little one expected. It was something that was surprising and a bit of a relief. "Well, I am glad you are so efficient William." The boy praised and then sighed. "I must figure out the money and home situation, and once then we will figure out how to kill those men." He thought aloud.
