A Cursed Crystal

Ciels' POV

"Hello Undertaker we need information on the recent deaths that are plaguing London under the queens orders" I said while I walked into the Undertakers shop, I started to hear laughter as I did so and glared at the laughing man in the middle of the room.

"Young master I did not know you could make such a joke without even trying, I'm very impressed" my butler said aloud making me slightly angry since I wasn't even trying to make him laugh at all, his laugh is truly annoying.

"Well do you have the evidence or not Undertaker" I said getting even more annoyed, "yes of course I do, and since you already paid by making me laugh here you go" he said handing me a small red vile with a sparkling granite stone inside of it.

"Thank you, now Sebastian we must get a move on I want to hurry this case along very quickly for the sake of my queen" I said very quickly to Sebastian who bowed and said: "of course young master."

After that we left Undertakers shop and headed into the carriage to investigate the sparkling granite stone, after we asked around we were lead to a stone emporium at the west side of the village. "Sebastian is this where we will find the information about this odd stone?" I asked knowing he would know the answer, to my surprise he said: "I'm not sure young master, but I can take the vile inside and ask the shop workers to tell me."

"Then I order you to do just that" I said to which he answered: "Yes my lord" then headed inside the store, when he did so I went back into the carriage to sit and wait for him to come back with the information.

Sebastians' POV

I walked into the store with the red vile in my hands, I almost dropped the vile when I noticed someone who looked a lot like the Undertaker placing some stones in a polished red wood glass display case. "Oh, a new customer, how may I help you?" she bowed in a somewhat butler of a way.

"I came to ask about a stone that was used in a homicide case" I said as she stood back up, "may I see the stone?" she asked holding out her gloved hand. I noticed she was dressed in a red and black dress, same color as her wedged boots, long black gloves with red on the top near her shoulders, a red necklace with a black choker somewhat covering the top part of the necklace, and a black hat with red designs on it clipped to the side of her hair.

"It's a crystal" she said which made me stop to stare into her surprisingly purple eyes, "what do you mean it's a crystal? It looks nothing like any crystal I've seen" I said noticing what looks like a scar on her cheek shaped like a diamond. "If you look close enough it is a crystal, a rare one to be exact" she said clearly fascinated by the stone.

"What kind of crystal is it?" I asked hoping she would come to her senses long enough for her to answer my question, but humans never seem to so that was unlikely, "it's a Chamberlin crystal" she said surprising me by actually answering. "What's a Chamberlin crystal?" I asked thoroughly interested to what it is.

"It's also called a clear death or demon crystal" she said still staring at the crystal, a demon crystal why haven't I heard of such a crystal? I thought as she continued to talk taking me out of my thoughts by what she was saying "It's very rare to find one here, may I keep this with me? The person who used this to kill might be back for it since they're so rare they may only have one of them" she asked almost making me want to yell a no until she started talking again.

"I may be able to make more replicas of the crystal so you and your master can keep this one, while Undertaker keeps a replica of it for the killer to take and I can keep one of my own so I can sell them here" she said, it sounded like a bad plan but I wasn't going to say no since it would be beneficial for the queen which is beneficial to my master, her, and of course myself.

"Ok I will agree, how fast can you make a perfect replica of this rare crystal and would you need any help at all?" I asked knowing a mere human could not do a task as complicated as this within a few days and also as perfectly as the crystal seems to be. "Probably about an hour to three hours for one of them, so that would probably be too soon for you to actually need it, am I correct?" she asked making me very surprised since most people or even demons would sound prideful about that, but when I looked at her facial expression she was frowning.

"Yes that would be correct, I'll go tell my young master while you start to make the Demon crystal replicas" I said walking out the door. I wonder if I should worry about her. A demon crystal isn't one that I think regular humans should know anything about I thought as I walked out the door to tell my young master about the plan a stranger made up.

"Young master, the worker knows what the stone is, but I do not at all believe she actually knows anything about it" I told my young master as I opened the carriage door. "Why do you not believe her?" my young master asked me in a confused tone. "Because young master, no one not even myself knows about a Chamberlin crystal let alone a demon or clear death crystal" I said surprised that my young master went rigid.

"What young master? Did you know about the Chamberlin crystal?" I asked knowing I was stepping out of line, but I needed answers about such things as this. "Yes I have heard rumors of many cursed gems especially because of my hope piece" he said seeming to get annoyed with the tone I used. "I want to hear the plan that you've come up with and where's the crystal?" he asked me after a few minutes of silence, "that I do not fully know but I think it may work, we just have to wait till she sends the two gems to the Undertaker and the Undertaker gives one to us" I said to answer my masters question.

"Alright, we'll go back to the Undertakers shop tomorrow" he said slightly surprising me that he didn't ask any more questions, but as always I held a blank face to not show that I had been surprised. "Of course young master" I said as I got into the carriage that Baldroy was coaching.

The next morning

"Young master you must get up and have some breakfast before we head to the Undertakers shop this morning to see if the stone emporium worker got the crystals made yet" I said bringing in some Earl Grey tea and some strawberry scones for my young master to eat and drink. I pulled open the curtains for my young master to wake up to my non-existent surprise he did just that.

"Of course Sebastian" my young master said as he got up so I could dress him. He's so sad, oh well humans are just that, helpless. After I dressed him and he finished his tea and scones he ordered me to bring the carriage round to the front so we could head into town for the Demon crystal.

As we headed into town I heard a women screech and the carriage swerve, "shoot why didn't you move out of the way young miss?!" I heard Baldroy yell/ask and at that moment me and my master opened the door to the carriage to see what has happened. I was quite surprised to see that a girl was brushing off her dress and picking up two small beautiful boxes from the ground.

I started to shake my head as I helped the young girl with her boxes before I noticed who she was and she noticed me as well, "I'm so sorry I should've paid attention to where I was walking, I truly am sorry about your carriage Earl Ciel Phantomhive" she said making me very surprised as well as my young master and Baldroy.

"I wish I could help fix your carriage, but I have a few crystals to drop off before I head to my store than I'll help fix your carriage" she said pushing my hand away from the boxes than running off in the direction of the Undertakers shop. "May I ask how she knows my name? Why she's running to the Undertakers shop? Why she said she wanted to help fix my carriage? And How she is at all fine from being almost ran over?" my young master said from behind me.

"I'm sorry young master but the only answer I can give are, she's the one who has the crystals the rest I do not know" I said knowing that that annoyed my master. "How the bloody - do you not know?" he asked yelling the question, "because master I know nothing about her other than how she dresses, the store she owns, and I thought I knew her actual eye color" I said wondering why her eye color wasn't an angel purple but a blood red demon color.

"What do you mean Sebastian?" my master said as he now stood in front of me surprising me at how close he was when he asked since he is normally about two feet away from me when he orders me around. "She had purple eyes yesterday, but she had red eyes that turned purple when she noticed yourself and I" I said answering my young masters' question.

"Okay so shall we go before she is finished with her task?" my master asked to which of course I said: "of course my young master" as I bowed with my hand over my heart.

Undertakers' POV

Wow I wonder when Rebecca is coming I may see her every other day but call every day to see how she is doing, but I didn't think I'd see her today right after my regular clients came to see the Clear Death crystal. Just as I was thinking I heard the door open and a girl I have been hoping to see since yesterday come in out of breath.

"Hello Rebecca why are you out of breath my dear?" I asked my sister very worried that she might of had another attack. "oh hello Undertaker, I was running because I ran into someone who could have died because of my curse, actually wrong phrasing he ran me over with Earl Phantomhives' carriage" she said catching her breath, "phew I was a little worried you had another attack" I said when she got her breathing back in order.

"No I would've had Jessy call you if I did" she said walking over to hug me, to which I hugged her back. "Now what do you have for me to give to Ciel and Sebastian?" I asked as she let me go, "that would be in this box" she said as she handed me a small but beautiful blood red box with a midnight black ribbon tied around it that has a white ribbon tied into a white rose on the top with a Clear Death crystal in the middle of it.

"Rebecca what is the Clear Death crystal doing on top of the box when it's supposed to be inside of it, if the killer finds it he will kill to get this back" I said slightly angry at her which made her flinch. "Sorry I didn't mean to yell at you Becca" I said apologetically making her smile at me for using her nickname.

"It's alright Knight" Rebecca said smiling at me while using my nickname as well. "ok so tell Sebastian that no one can touch the top of this box except for him since it will not at all kill him if he does, but it will kill Ciel, Mei-Rin, Baldroy, Finnian, and anyone else who isn't a supernatural being" she told me as she handed me another box except this one is black with a red bow on top, which I excepted and told her: "I will tell Sebastian that no one can touch the top part of the box except for himself."

"Thank you Knight" she said as she hugged me again, "now I must go since they're about close to here and because I have to open my shop, see you later Knight" she said as she let me go and ran out the door. I wonder what she put in the box she gave me, I untied the ribbon and opened the black box so I could see what was in it. I saw she put what looks like the Clear Death crystal in the clear red stained glass vile I gave to Ciel yesterday, I guess she came up with a plan to stop the homicides again, oh well. There was also a note inside, it read:

~Make sure you put this vile exactly where you had it before you gave it to Ciel just in case the murderer came in before then to find out how to get it back so he can start killing again. Thank you Knight and sorry if this causes you trouble.

Love,

Becca

She still thinks she bothers others with her presence just because mom had me and her thrown out as children when we started getting powers, how come she doesn't know that not everyone is going to be disgusted with her. "Undertaker we came for a package of information!" Ciel yelled from the door as he came into view.

Sebastians' POV

As we walked from the broken down carriage, which the worker seemed to know would be broken, we reached the Undertakers shop. "Undertaker we came for a package of information!" my master yelled from the door as he opened it and walked down the short hallway and stopped when we both noticed the Undertaker had a black box with a red bow next to it reading a note that seemed to come from inside the box.

"Yes, yes" he said as he put the letter back into the box and grabbed a beautiful red box from the table behind him, "here you go Sebastian" he said as he tried to hand me the box before Ciel grabbed it from the bottom before he could hand it to me.

"Sorry Ciel but you can't have this box" the Undertaker said as he quickly grabbed the box away before master Ciel could grab it down, "and why not Undertaker" Ciel almost whined. "Young master I don't think an earl should whine about not getting what he wants that is exactly how a child should act" I said leaning down to whisper it into his ear. "Yes, yes earl Phantomhive do you want your reputation to be ruined if someone were to hear you whine like that" the Undertaker said surprising me with the words he had chosen.

"Here you go Sebastian, make sure no one but yourself touches the top of the box" he said as he handed me the box this time without my young master trying to grab it. "May I ask why?" I asked him wondering why my master couldn't touch something as simple as a white bow, then I realized how the bow was shaped like a rose and what was with in the center of the bow, a crystal. "What is this in the middle of the rose?" I asked the Undertaker, "it's the crystal Rebecca wanted you to have, she doesn't want more deaths because of the crystal so she asked me to tell you to not let anyone but yourself touch the bow" he said sounding somewhat bored but his eyes are glistening with what seems like pride.

"Why just myself?" I asked him to which he responded "because you're a demon, a supernatural being unlike the young earl, your young master" he said surprising me and earning a "how the bloody - do you know that?" from my young master. "Because Rebecca told me so and because of your blood red eyes" he answered, "how did she know that she's just a human and so are you?" my young master asked.

"That is none of your concern how she came to know such information" he said sounding slightly angry for some reason. "Now take the crystal and note and leave my shop since there is no more business for you here" he said definitely sounding angry which made me tell my master: "I think it is time for us to make our leave, young master"

As we left I heard the Undertaker talking to himself "maybe I should ask Rebecca if she would be ok with living with them for a while, though I'm pretty sure she won't enjoy all the people that will be there, and I'm quite sure the Earl Phantomhive will hate having another person in his house even if he gets something in return. Oh well, I'll still ask" is what I heard him say before I headed out the door with my young master. Interesting I wonder how this will turn out.

We headed back to the carriage so I could fix it, but when we got there it was already fixed and seemed liked it was re painted, Ciel noticed that there was a note on the carriage and handed it to me to read. It had beautiful scripture on it that to me it seemed like it was from the queen, but when I opened it, it revealed folded cream colored parchment paper with the words To: Earl Ciel Phantomhive from: Rebecca on it.

"Young master it is from Rebecca" I said as I looked up from the beautiful parchment paper, "well don't just stand there gawking at it, read what it says" my young master somewhat yelled. "Yes my lord" I said bowing my head before I opened the paper and reading what it contained.

~I'm very sorry for the damage I caused to your carriage young earl for that reason I fixed your carriage as I said I would, I also noticed that most of your carriage paint was chipping so I re painted it as well and cleaned it since it was dreadfully dirty for a Phantomhive carriage. I left the key to the carriage in the small pocket within this paper so other commoners like myself don't steal your carriage. Again I am very sorry for the trouble I must have caused you, Sebastian, and Baldroy upon your trip to the Undertakers shop, please take care and Sebastian take care of your masters soul and keep it with you no matter what I'm pretty sure you don't want your long awaited meal stolen by another demon.

Yours truly,

Rebecca

The last part I read I made Baldroy leave before I continued, "how the bloody - does she know a single thing about us she just met you yesterday and myself today" my young master said clearly angry that he knows nothing about her and she knows a few things about him and myself. "I do not know my lord, but I think it would be best if we talk to her about it before she makes you even more angry than you seem to already be" I said opening the door to the carriage with a key that has the emblem of the queen on it, how odd why does she have a key like this?

As we made our way to the manor I noticed that my young master did not give any order to look for information on , "young master may I ask why you are not ordering me to look up information on " I said to my young master who was just staring out the window of the renovated carriage. "Because Sebastian, you said we were going to go to her store tomorrow, we can get information then" he said still staring out the window.

When we reached the manor I stepped out of the door to hold it for my young master, "Sebastian! Yes" I heard a voice from behind me yell making me look over my shoulder to see Mey-Rin running out the door. "Yes Mey-Rin" I said staring at the maid while I helped my young master down from the carriage, "there was a call for you both a little while ago, yes!" the maid said. "What did the message say?" I asked the maid, "I don't know what he wanted, but he said to have you call his number when you have returned, yes!" she said sounding very apologetic.

"Alright" I said as I walked with my young master inside the manor, I walked towards the phone and dialed the number that Mey-Rin wrote down next to the phone. "Hello? You called before so I was wondering why you called" I said as I heard someone pick up, "oh yes I would like Ciel and yourself to come to Plantation Manor, I have a deal to make. Nothing bad but it seems the part of the deal doesn't want to be a burden if you accept, so could you meet us there in the morning?" he asked me he sounds so familiar.

"Undertaker?" I asked the person on the other end, "yes that is very good Sebastian, now what do you say about the meeting?" he asked me again to which I answered: "yes we would be delighted to meet you tomorrow morning, at what time though?" I asked "probably around two, that should give you enough time to find the place since I have I a feeling you don't know where it is or where it would be" he said in response to my question.

"I'm quite sure it should not be very hard to find a single manor in the countryside" I said a little irritated that he would belittle a demon who is more powerful than a mere human. "Who said it was in the country side Sebastian? Let alone where a mere demon could find it? Have fun in your search it should be very entertaining for me to watch" Undertaker said before hanging up the phone. Why is he speaking such nonsense? A demon of a low class could find a manor.

A few hours before the call

Rebeccas' POV

"Knight it is so good to see you came by today" I said as I opened the door of my maroon and black manor, "same to you my darling Becca" Knight said as he entered giving me a hug to which of course I hugged back. "I'll go make some tea and scones" I said happily knowing my eyes are the color blue, "might you have Jessy do that, I have something to ask of you" I heard him say feeling my eyes turn to their normal color of half red and half purple the color that shows I'm half demon, half angel. "Mr. Undertaker" I heard Jessy say as she entered the room, "Jessy may you leave for the kitchen and come back with the food, I'm truly sorry for asking such things of you" I said apologetically "do not say such things miss, I'm the Plantation servant of this manor if I do not, what Plantation servant would I be? So I must do such things, do not worry yourself of a servant like myself" she said in the voice of a worried and caring mother.

I sighed as I heard her voice, it wasn't a relieved sigh but one of a tired person because that is what I am, tired of hearing the voice of a mother I never truly had. "Now may I ask you to sit down Rebecca" I heard Knight say as he gestured to the black triple-wide couch in the room we were standing in "that is what I'm supposed to say Knight" I said smiling at him as I walked around the maroon chair to get to the couch behind the black stained glass table with gold embroidered into the glass in crystal teardrop crystal patterns along the edges of the glass.

"This place is as beautifully preserved as we found it, you must earn a lot to keep it this way as well as a lot of power to keep it hidden in plain sight" Knight said " you're sounding very prideful for a divine being such as yourself" I said teasing him. "Says the one with a trait that shows how she feels and sometimes controls how she acts" he said making me look down at my hands "that is not my fault and you know it Undertaker" I said sounding a bit rude knowing my eyes might be turning orange from Undertakers comeback that I know is just a way to tease me as well.

"Sorry darling I didn't mean to make you angry please turn your eye color back to their beautiful dual color" he said making my eyes turn scarlet instead "may we start with why you came here since it is not to talk to me" I said. "Of course very sorry about that" he said as I heard Jessy come in wearing her beautiful black and red gown meant to be a maid garment but I altered it to make her and myself feel more comfortable. She's not supposed to be a servant a demon such as herself should not be taking care of me she should be eating souls and closing contracts like normal demons. "Here's your tea master and mistress" she said making me flinch just a little "Jessy please stop saying mistress and master you're not even supposed to be a servant" I said frowning at my brother after I said that to her.

"Rebecca, she's here to keep you safe and to call me when you're hurt that is her duty nothing more" Knight said making me flinch again "her duty is to collect souls and make contracts that is what demons are supposed to do, not serve others without a contract to bind them" I said. "Now may you please tell me why you came by?" I asked Knight "of course I think you should live with Lord Ciel and his demon butler, it would be of mutual benefit for yourself, Sebastian, myself, Jessy, and possibly Ciel" he said making me drop the teacup, I picked up when Jessy placed down the silver tray that held the scones and tea.

When I dropped the teacup it fell into a million small pieces onto the maroon colored stone floor "no my answer is no I don't want to cause trouble or harm to the inhabitants of the Phantomhive manor plus if you were to invite them over here to tell them that they would have a new member at the manor they wouldn't be able to find this place, it maybe in the woods between two manors but no one could find this place even with directions" I said while I picked up the pieces of the broken teacup and grabbed the handkerchief off the spruce wood table with a maroon vase, holding a single blossomed white rose inside of it, located in the center of the table. "My dear just let me worry about that, but since you seem a little worried about the demon and the earl give Celia a call" he said.

"Ok but if you want Ciel to say yes it'll require some convincing" I said feeling very bad for asking Celia to do more work or any work at all "thank you darling I'll do just that" Knight said before exiting the room. 'My darlings I am so sorry in advance for Undertakers importunate conversation tomorrow and on the phone it should hold to be a very troublesome outcome for you both, so I'm apologizing in advance' I remembered as I walked down the black and maroon checker floored hallways while looking at the beautiful black walls outlined with a strip of red with gold scripture. I walked into my maroon, white and black room and took a seat on my double white cushioned couch across from my maroon covered canopy bed with a black painted elm wood bed frame.

I reached across the arm of the couch to grab my black dial telephone with more gold designs on it, I may keep this place in good shape but the amount of gold is more meant for a queen than a hybrid. I dialed my stores number to call my friend "Hello you reached diamonds' stone emporium how may I help you?" I heard Celia ask in her kind beautiful tone I expect nothing less of a siren "hello dear I have a favor to ask and I'm so very sorry for such a thing to ask of you" I said feeling my eyes turn a turquoise color. "Boss what do you need of me to do? I will do it no matter what" I heard her say "dear please don't use such a tone I don't want to hear a tone that sounds like someone serves me, you know that" I said sadly.

"Of course sorry" I heard her say apologetically "yes, yes may you please tell Sebastian and Ciel where to find my house and what they will have to do in order to find it?" I said my eyes never changing their color "yes of course anything for a friend who cared for my brother" she said making my frown remembering Droscell who went missing a while ago. "you shouldn't thank me I wasn't able to save him from being taken away" I said tears forming in my eyes as I remembered him being taken from right in front of me "don't blame yourself he was a puppet with a master you couldn't have stopped it even though you wanted to" she said making my tears fall, you have no idea Celia of the power I have I could've I should've.

"Either way thank you" I said wiping away my tears "of course my darling" she answered making me laugh with her comment, she only says that when she's working it always makes me happy to see her bowing when she says that. "Now you must get some sleep my lady you seem to be very tired" I heard Jessy say from the entrance of my room when I yawned "of course Jessy" I said to her before I said into the phone "I must go Celia thank you again, after your work is done tomorrow you can take two weeks off for your trouble" I said to Celia before I got up to go to bed. "Jessy, may you please tell Knight to stay here in his room for the night and until he needs to work" I asked Jessy so I could head to bed since I actually am a bit tired from getting ran over, running from Sebastian and Ciel before I could give them the gift, giving the gifts to Knight, fixing Ciels' broken carriage, making a lock for Ciels' carriage, grabbing a silver key long left in my stores safe, writing a note to be left on the carriages' window, and doing all the chores outside and inside the manor all within three hours.


A/N: this is probably horrible since I haven't read it for months I think it's my third story that I've written on my computer so I'm probably still bad at this. I think the best story on this that I've actually written would be Twins Envy, the cover of this story is a drawing I did by the way it's what Rebecca looks like sorry if it isn't easy to see I took the picture on my phone and than uploaded it onto my computer.
