HIS BUTLER, KNOWING
Juliet's POV
"I hate this! Why must I be the one to do this?" I muttered angrily under my breath.
"Because the Viscount loves women. And you're the only one in our family, so of course you have to be the one to do it, Lady Juliet." Sadly, my father had many brothers who were too young themselves to have children, and my mother died an only child.
I crossed my arms over my chest, and pouted. He did have a point, but...I still didn't like it. The Viscount of Druit gives me the creeps. If my father wasn't out on leave I wouldn't have to do this...
"Look!" Another one of my "colleauges" spout, pointing over at a small gathering of people. He turned to look down at me. "Go get him Juliet! We can't afford to lose him!"
I gulped. "R-right..." I took in a deep breath, and started to walk towards the crowd, gripping the bust of my dress. Let's just say it was a bit...low-cut for my taste. But the rest of it was pretty. It was a black and white lolita style dress imported from Japan.
"Ah! Your dress is so pretty!" A little blonde girl squealed, running up to me, and gripping my hands.
"Wh-why thank you." I smiled, blushing lightly. "Yours is very pretty as well."
Her dress was past her knees, red with pink, and her hair was adorned by a red flower hairband.
"Thank you." She smiled. "Would you like to go out on the balcony with me?"
"Alright, but if I may ask, why?"
"Well it seems I'm the youngest girl here, and I've become a bit bored..."
I laughed lightly, and asked her to lead the way. I sat down on top of the railing, and she gave me an odd look.
"You know we're not allowed to do that, being daughters of Earls and all."
I shrugged. "My father's on leave, and my uncles don't bear ill will about what others say about my etiquette. They say it's a mother's job."
"Well where's your mother Julie?"
"Julie? My given name is Juliet."
"Yes, and mine's Elizabeth. But I don't care much for formalities. So, please, call me Lizzie."
"Alright. And my mother's-"
"Elizabeth, why are you out here?" A woman adorned with multiple flowers asked from the doorway. "And with this...this abomination no less."
My eye twitched in anger. I hate her already.
"But Mother I-"
"Elizabeth," She started sturnly. "Now."
I sighed, remaining on the rail no matter what that woman called me, and watched her go back to the party.
"Well, what have we here?" A voice from behind started, making me fall off the rail.
"Wh...who are you?"
He walked up to me, gripping my wrist tightly in his hand, and covering my mouth with the other. "Well if you're from around here, you'll know me as "Jack the Ripper"."
Ciel's POV: The Next Night
"Are you sure we'll find him in there?" I asked heating my arms up with friction. "And what if we're too late to save her?"
Sebastian smirked. "If?"
"Sebastian!"
We both flicked our heads towards the door, a loud thud heard just a moment ago. Sebastian walked up to the door, and threw it open.
"H-help me!" A female voice shrieked.
I slowly joined Sebastian, slightly hiding behind his arm. My eyes widened, and I felt something sneaking up my throat. A rather young woman was sitting in the doorway, tied to a chair, covered in red.
Madam Red's butler stood in front of her, a large red mark on his cheek.
"S-sebastian-san, thank god you're here! Help me untie her!"
"Do you really plan to feign innocence in your postition? Enough of this "Mister Grelle". No--even "Grelle Sutcliff" is just an assumed identity, so what say you cease your silly act "Mister Grelle"?" He asked, a smirk playing on hid lips. "This is my first time meeting "someone of your ilk" in the human world. You did a superb job of acting like one of them."
His eyes turned mad, and his teeth sharpened before us. He let out a small giggle. "Is that so?" I ran past him, to the girl, and stood in front of her in a protective stance.
"Young master?" Sebastian asked, his head tilting to the side. He shook his head, turning his attention back to an irritated, changed Grelle.
"Please don't ignore me Sebastian-darling. It angers me, and you wouldn't want to see me angry. You've read about what I've done."
"Yes, but what I want to know is why? What would a grim reaper need to accomplish in the human world?"
"Well, if you must know, I suppose you could say I fell head over heels for a woman."
The click of a heel was heard on the other side of the room.
"And that woman is," Sebastian started, ignoring my questioning look, and instead signaling for me to see for myself.
My hand twitched. "M...Madam Red..."
"Of course," Sebastian started. "She was on our initial list of suspects, but her alibi was flawless."
She smugly walked over to me, and the girl. "How could you, Ciel? You went so far as to doubt me, your dear aunt?" She sighed, her eyes closing. "Well, I guess that slapping him was a bad idea. We still could have killed her..."
The girl's breath sped up to hyperventalation. "Pl-please, don't kill me! I need to go back to my father! I'm all he has left!"
"Wait...what do you mean "still could have killed her"? Why wouldn't you?"
"Surely you've seen the similarities of the victims?" I nodded. "She wasn't on the list. She just had the same first name and characteristics as the one we wanted." Madam Red smiled. "Well, may as well finish the job." She pulled out a small knife, and held it to the girl's throat from behind.
"N-no! P-please!" She cried, tears streaming down her face.
"Madam, why not prolong it? Start with the wrists."
Sebastian attacked Grelle from behind, stalling him and his "advice".
I tried to get the knife away from Madam Red. The girl let out a scream as the blade hit her upper arm.
'I'm sorry... It's better than your wrists...'
Her screaming continued, as if it was a last resort.
"Shut up!" Madam Red yelled, slamming the blade's handle onto the back of her head, silencing her screams, and knocking her unconcious.
"Sebastian!"
"I'm sorry I must do this, Ciel." The same fate to happen to the girl had innevitably happened to me.
Bender: So what'd you think?
Ikuto: I hated it. Now go update Juliet and Ikuto!
Bender: Shuddap! )=[ -smiling sweetly- Sebastian? Ciel?
Ciel: I was supposed to read that?
Sebastian: I already did young master. Don't worry, I'll tell you about it later.
Bender: You guys are no fun =/ Sorry if anyone was OOC. Please tell me if you think anyone was!
