Chapter 2

Several minutes later, the earl and the butler finally arrived. Thank goodness, the meeting was just about to start since the chief inspector is late."Hey, Phantomhive!" one of the earl's comrades called. "You're looking good as usual. But there is… something missing with your outfit today," he commented.

Sebastian's eyes drifted slowly on his young master's outfit. What is missing? He carefully picked this outfit out. He double checked this morning while Ciel was drying himself with a towel, too. And then he noticed. Oh my goodness. Lady Elizabeth's ribbon is missing. "Young master," he whispered. "the ribbon is missing."

"What?" the earl looked down, and his eyes slowly widen as the missing ribbon seethed into his nerves and travelled into his mind. "She's going to kill me."

The earl shifted in his seat nervously as he tries to pay attention to what the chief has to say. A criminal named Blood Seeker… killing beautiful young girls… he kills with a scythe… that's the only thing he heard.

"Ciel Phantomhive, since you are a master at criminal cases, I'll be expecting a lot from you," the chief winks, and all of them are dismissed. As soon as they exited, the earl suddenly lost his calm and cool aura.

"Let's find that ribbon!"

"Master, I think we dropped it twelve blocks away. I think it's best if we take the carriage."

"No! The winds are strong today. Maybe it got swept away or something."

Sebastian decided not to argue.

A few kilometres or so, the boy reached his limit. He just got even more frustrated than ever. "Argh!" he ran forward and he knocked someone over. Now his patience reached over the limit.

"Watch where you're going, you fool!" he yelled.

"M-My apologies, sir," the girl responded.

"Master, that's a rude way to treat a fine lady."

Ciel's eyes moved angrily to Sebastian, to the girl, to Sebastian, and to the girl. He glared at the girl while he picks himself up, and it was his chance to get a closer look at her.

She is very beautiful. She had very pale skin, which you could tell that it was smooth just from looking at it. His expression softens as he observes her face. She had rosy cheeks, natural fine lips with the colour of a watermelon and green eyes that hold an interesting story.

She wore her medium length, wavy, silky dark brown hair in a single braid with a blue ribbon that matched the uniform she was wearing. She is from the local private school. Overall, she looked like a live doll. She had the body shape every girl wanted. Though, her bones were slightly visible.

A blue ribbon with something gold written in it. "That ribbon. May I see it?" Sebastian said.

The girl gave a half nod. She kept looking around and shifting her weight from one foot to the other. She was scared of something.

"Ah. This is the ribbon we have been looking for. You see, this is a special gift from my master's fiancée. I'm sorry, but we must take it," Sebastian explained.

She gave another half nod, and she pulled onto the ribbon, making her hair fall into silky curtains that perfectly suited her face. Sebastian untangled her hair with his fingers gently, and he thanked the girl and gave her a bow. "We must keep going now."

Just before the earl and the butler turned their backs, she opened her mouth to speak.

"Please. Please, help me."
