So this is a continuation of my one-shot Blue Moon. I don't think it'll be any longer than 10 chapters. It'll be based around Ciel's now-daily life. And a certain raven, of course.

"I really, really hate you, sometimes." Ciel ground out. Lilith had given him a "tiny" task of setting up a corner display case. That case so happened to be about a foot and a half taller than Ciel.

"Quit your whining." Lilith scolded. "Be glad it's not oak."

Ciel sighed. She did have a point. "Yeah, yeah. I get it. This will be good practice for later in life."

"Boy. It's a week before Halloween. Do you really want to sass me in a shop where I can summon the Holy Spirit?"

"As if the Holy Spirit would listen to the likes of you." Ciel deadpanned.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Lilith raised an eyebrow. She'd dyed her hair white with red, black, and purple streaks.

Mrowr!

The resident black cat launched itself onto the counter, flopping down on top of the notebook Ciel was currently taking stock in. "Dammit! Lilith! Your cat!"

"Don't hurt him!" the woman's screech came from the other side of the shop.

The door chimed, signaling there'd be someone to deal with. Ciel prayed it wasn't Mrs. Lenger.

But as his luck had it, it was.

"Young man. Where is that nut of a woman?"

Lilith seemingly materialized at the end of the counter, grinning like a fool. "Hello. What can I do for you this time?"

"It seems a warding bracelet has shattered. The only bead left has turned black." Mrs. Lenger dropped the bracelet in front of Ciel.

The younger male made move to pick it up, but his wrist was roughly grabbed by Lilith. "Don't touch it. The bracelet has been cursed."

"Cursed?" Mrs. Lenger glared at Ciel. "Did you do this, boy?"

"I'm a kid. I know only basic wards and protection spells." Ciel growled. "Lilith means there is a demon or a dark entity in this bead. The only way to destroy it is by sealing it, then burning the location of where the sealed entity is."

"Demons are no lie. The Gods say so."

"Did you just say Gods?" Lilith narrowed her eyes.

"Did you really believe I was a Christian woman? No, not entirely. The church I attend has been plagued with strange attacks lately."

"We aren't ghost hunters, Mrs. Lenger. Ciel nor myself can do a thing about your church."

Mrs. Lenger sighed, folding her hands on the counter. "I know your eyes, young man. There is a story a man tells of a young boy who enslaved a demon. They bared marks like the one on your eye."

Ciel tried not to react. He must have, but only slightly. Because Lilith shooed him away. She said she's deal with the old bat herself. Lilith said to call Mey-Rin.

"Ciel? Why are you calling at this hour? Aren't you at work?"

The male didn't speak for a few seconds. "I am. Mrs. Lenger said there is someone at her church that tells stories of me. I don't think she knows I'm the Ciel Phantomhive. I think she's trying to find out."

"That's not good."

"No." Ciel noticed he was pacing. He froze, trying to calm himself down. "Lilith knows. But she's Lilith and she has contacts in the otherworld. She knows I want to try to be normal. But if Lenger exposes me, I'm beyond screwed."

"That crazy old lady needs to keep her mouth shut."

"No shit. I have to tell Sebastian."

"He isn't here. I actually have no clue where he is right now, actually."

"Text me when you find out."

"I will." Mey-Rin's voice was gentle. "Finni said he was on his way over."

"I'm not going to question that. I'm going to get back to work."

The line went dead. Ciel poked his head around the door, declaring it safe, he quietly walked to the counter, standing beside Lilith.

"I'm going to the church later to see the person. I'll wipe their memory of it if I need to."

"Are you strong enough to do that?"

Lilith chuckled. "I am a witch. I know the Earth and her beings like that back of my hand. I know humans are complicated, but are so easy to pick apart."

Ciel flinched slightly. "That sounds…lovely."

"I knew exactly who you were the second you stepped foot in this shop. I knew what you were after and why you were here."

"You sound like a stalker."

"Maybe I am."

"You're a creepy witch, is what." Ciel picked up a pen and twirled it between his fingers.

Lilith looked up at the front windows. "Your friend Finnian is here."

"I know. Mey-Rin said he would be."

"My God Ciel! Mey-Rin said that some crazy old bat came in here talking about you!"

"Shut your mouth, boy!" Lilith dropped her book. "Lenger has contacts. I don't know if she has someone hanging around this place. Keep your voices down. Go into the back room and talk, you idiots."

Ciel nearly dragged Finni to the back room, shutting the door a little too roughly behind him. "The back rooms are sound proof. There are tunnels under here. We can escape if need be. Why are you here exactly?"

"Lilith called. Well…texted and said she wanted someone here with you when she went to the church."

"Typical her. She's so protective over me,"

"She's a witch. She seems so familiar though. I can't place her."

"Familiar? How so?"

"I feel like we knew her back in England."

"Maybe. It's hard to remember anyone outside of those I was…and am close to."

The door slammed open, revealing Lilith, who was now dressed in black pants, a white tunic and a black vest. "I'm off boys. Try not to break anything. Ciel, make time to set up the shelf. Not all of it though,"

"Got it, Lilith. See you later." The male waved her off. He sighed, pushing away from the table he hadn't realized he was leaning against.

Several boxes were now stacked next to the shelf. Ciel tentatively opened one. He was relieved the objects weren't breakable. At least not easily. They were statues of animals and other objects.

"What used to be in the corner?" Finni asked.

"A sarcophagus."

"What? Where is it now?"

"That glass encased thing in the center of the shop would be it. Lilith has a ton of useless shit on it. Well, she doesn't think it's useless."

"Okay. I can't decide if that's gross or not."

"It's not like the thing inside of it will come to life and eat your soul."

"Sure it won't. This isn't a witch's shop at all." Finni said sarcastically.

Ciel wondered why Lilith even needed the statues. There weren't any of Hindu or Greek gods. They were all animals and everyday objects. He inhaled, going into a coughing fit. He suddenly felt light-headed and slightly nauseous. He could hear Finnian yelling his name before everything went black.
