Here is Chapter 3! I finally announce who's POV it is. * drum roll *


Ciel POV

" Ciel ! Is everything okay ? "

I looked up from the game Elizabeth and I was playing, I saw a worried expression on her face.

" Eh? Oh... It's nothing. Don't worry about it. Look, its your turn now. " I touched the game board. Normally I enjoyed playing games, but I knew today I had lots of paperwork to do and Elizabeth called last night unexpectedly. I picked up the papers I had sitting on my lap, every once in awhile when it was Elizabeth's turn in the game. She looked at me while her hand touched her chin, she appeared to be thinking about something. I looked back at the papers while when made her turn.

" Look at what I made for you !" she said happily. I looked up from my papers to see her holding a bow . " Isn't it cute , Ciel ? I-I made it for you ! It looks like your eyes. ! ", she continued.

I am going to be honest here, I get slightly uncomfortable in situations like this. More specifically I don't like showing my weak side. I will admit, I appreciated Elizabeth's gift.

I adverted my gaze from her , " Thank you Lizzy. " I was pretty sure my face was a bit flushed but I kept an disinterested face as I looked away from her. From the corner of my eye I saw a look of disappointment from Elizabeth. I guess I hurt her feelings when I didn't smile back at her, she looked as if she was about to cry. Oh no, please don't cry. Not now, I have to many things to be concerned with. I don't like seeing her hurt . I turned to look back at her and said " It was very thoughtful of you ." I gave a small smile. She perked right up and smiled back.

The doors opened up and Sebastian entered the room along with Leona.

" Sebastian. What are we having today ? "

Sebastian set down the plates one at a time, " Today we are serving Sausage Pinwheels. Made with cooked and cooled savory sausage with finely shredded Parmesan and puffy pastry. Served with Earl Grey. "

"I helped ! " Leona added as she placed down Elizabeth's plate.

I took the tea and sipped a bit of it, swirling it around in the cup, " Any letters from the Queen ? " I looked at Sebastian who was refilling my cup.

" Yes, just one. " He set down the tea pot, pulled out a letter, and handed it to me. I scanned the paper . Great , more homicide victims. I can't leave the Estate today, I promised Elizabeth I would stay with her this whole day since she will be going on a trip tomorrow for a week. Elizabeth was distracted by the game to pay attention to the conversation.

" Sebastian. You have an important job from me to do. Tonight, go to Undertaker and the crime locations and retrieve information about the 5 recent deaths that occurred the past few days. Gather as much information as you can. Try to stay unnoticed by the Scotland Yard. I hear they are near the area of the murder scenes... Do not fail. "

" Yes, my lord. "

" Wait ! " Leona interrupted . I had forgot my new eager maid was in the room, listening on to our conversation . " I would like to help in this . I enjoy solving mysteries ! "

I gave her an uneasy look and sipped some more of my tea. I looked at Sebastian from the corner of me eye, he was doing the same.

She continued, " Forgive me for eavesdropping, but as a maid here I want to help my boss with anything he needs to be done. No matter the job. If you don't know already from my references , I am a loyal worker . Whether it's picking up a package or traveling across the country. I will get the job done correctly. "

I looked at her suspiciously, but i dismissed any thoughts about her doing something that will reflect badly on me. I have research many people for this job and she is the only one who hasn't had a past of doing anything violent. Fortunately, even though she isn't a violent person, she is the most skilled archer in London. She so highly trained and skilled that she has the ability to shoot an arrow clear across 50 yards. She can be a very useful pawn in this game of mine. Even when the pawns pile up , the game isn't over until the king falls.

" If you are worried about me getting hurt I can... " , Leona looked around the room, trying to get her words together. " I can bring along my bow and arrows. " Leona spoke with a serious tone.

" You have managed to capture my interest.", I place my cup on the table where the game board was. " Fine, you may go along with Sebastian. " I gave a mischievous grin , " It will be nice to see you two working together on something such as this. "

" Thank you sir ! I will go get my bow and arrow. " And with that, Leona left quickly out of the room.

" Sebastian " I called over my butler. He knelt beside me and I whispered in his ear , " Make sure she doesn't die . " I picked up my cup of tea and looked at my reflection inside of the cup, " I do not want to see my name in the newspaper as a murder suspect. "

" Very well My Lord. " Sebastian stood up and walked out of the room.


Leona POV

Sebastian and I arrived in a oddly damp and dark alleyway in between two some old buildings. The walls of the buildings inside the alleyway had blood spattered stains . This looked like a crime scene alright. The smell of death was in the air. I covered my nose at this depressing and nauseating smell. It was late in the evening, so I grabbed a sweater before I arrived here. I shivered as the winter air touched my skin, I looked at Sebastian who seemed to be not bothered by the chilling air. He was busy analyzing the area and looking for clues.

" Are you cold ? " I asked, while walking towards Sebastian, he was knelt on the floor .

Sebastian didn't look up to see me . He instead traced the ground with his fingers and replied with no interest. " I am fine. "

I took the back of my head and gently touched his cheek, It was dead cold. I pulled my hand back as a reflex . Cold as a corpse.

Sebastian sniffed the air, " Someone just died not to long ago. The killer can still be in the area. Keep your guard up. "

" Right. " I nodded and pulled out my bow and arrow. I looked around the area and I spotted a man , hovering over a body . He was carrying a huge chainsaw and he had unusually long red hair. " Look ! " I whispered to Sebastian, " Over there. " I aimed my arrow at the man. He spotted me and smiled , revealing his sharp shark-like teeth. He was wearing glasses over his neon green eyes, almost glowing in this dark and cold night.

He adjusted his glasses, " Ohhhhh Sebas-channnnn ! " he cooed. He sprinted towards Sebastian with his arms opened wide . Sebastian moved to another area, so the flamboyant man fell flat on his his face. Ouch !

" Way to greet your lover . " the man said as he stood up with his face red and scratched from the pavement, " Such a coincidence seeing you here ! Did you come looking for me ?" The man shimmied his back on the wall, " Just admit it. You wanted to come see me in action and give me a kiss for my hard work. " The man puckered his lips and leaned into Sebastian's face.

" Please stop. If you do that I will kill you, set my body on fire, and have Leona throw my ashes off the London Bridge. " Sebastian placed his hand in front of the man, preventing him from achieving his goal.

" Ohhh Sebas-chan... Don't say that. I'm sure you'll become addicted to the taste of my 'Death Scythe' ".

I stood there dumbfounded. What the hell is going on here? Is that a man? I love his hair. Is he really Sebastian's Lover? I am totally confused. I lowered my arrow ," Umm... Sebastian ...Is that... man or lady or whatever, your friend ?"

" Yes ! " the man said proudly, " Maybe even more if he just let me touch him. "

The red headed man kept rubbing up on Sebastian and saying things in flirtatious jokes, pouting his lips and swaying his hips. Sebastian eyebrows twitched with annoyance and he grabbed the man's head and swung it against the wall, " Absolutely Not."

The red headed man jumped up quickly and hissed, " That is no way to treat a lady ! "

A sweat drop appeared on my head ,"Who and what are you exactly ? "

The man fixed his clothing and began striking poses, " I am Grell Sutcliff. An unbelievably beautiful ! and single... Grim Reaper !" .

" I assume you are not the cause of the murders here. " Sebastian said simply before walking away as the Grim Reaper continued, " Hey... Sebas-chan !... where are you going ? Don't you dare leave in the middle of my introduction ~!"

" Let's get a move on Leona, we are on a tight schedule. " Sebastian ignored Grell's pleas and pulled out his watch , " The Undertaker isn't too far from here. We can make it there in reasonable time on foot. "

" Sebastian... Grell just say he was- "

" Let's get moving Leona. We can discuss this later. "

" Don't you dare leave me here ! I wanna come too ! " Grell followed after us.

As we visited in the Undertaker, his workplace felt very eerie and desolate. Sebastian walked up to the register as Grell and I looked around the place.

"Back so soon ? " said a voice. all of us looked around to see where the voice was coming from. Suddenly, a coffin opened up and a man wearing black robes and a long droop hat with gray hair stepped out of it. Grell and I cringed in surprise.

" Ohhh... it's just you. What were you doing there ? " Grell asked as he tried to catch his breath from the weird greeting.

" Ha ha ha Ha Ha ! The looks on your faces ! Ha ha Ha, ahh... " The Undertaker rolled around on the floor laughing before getting up and resuming the conversation, " Trying out my coffins before i give them to costumers of course. You three have gave me a good laugh , as a token of my appreciation you can test out the coffins as well..."

" Thank you, but I rather not " I said while Grell rolled his eyes at the Undertaker's reply and looked around the store.

" I would like to look through your files about the recent victims." Sebastian requested.

" Go right ahead, although the coffin option is still open. Ha ha..."

Grell was looking through the things the Undertaker had in the shelves, but stopped when he came into one bottle in particular . He blew his breathe gently to remove the dust over it. His smile grew as he read what the bottle said, he looked around to see if anyone was watching. He grabbed it and tucked it into his pocket.


AN: So... what do you guys think ? If there is any mistakes, please forgive me. I really would like to here your opinion on this story ! I must admit I enjoy writing this story! And look! I added Grell ! I like that I included Grell in this chapter. I hope I got his personality correct, its fun writing his dialogue along with Sebastian. I am going to be honest here, if I saw Sebastian I'd be fan girling too. ;D

What is in that bottle Grell picked up ?

Will Sebastian figure out who is the killer ?

All will be revealed soon...
