Author's note: next chapter will come out very soon
"This bloody carriage ride is taking forever" I mumble under my breath.
Ciel smirks at me, I can tell that he heard my comment.
"Try not to rile him up, he is more quiet when he is left alone," he whispers back.
Taking Ciel's advice I try to tune out Grell's constant blathering and try to prepare myself for what is ahead.
If I am to draw out this other worldly killer I must look vulnerable without actually being vulnerable.
Also I must not look suspicious in any way, there are plenty of people in London who would be easy targets so this won't be easy.
The carriage slows down and I can tell that we are reaching the outskirts of the city, out the window I see other carriages full of pitiful human souls.
"Can you sense them?" Ciel asked me.
"Sense what?" I ask not knowing if he means the souls or something completely unrelated.
Ciel raises an eye brow at me, "Even if I once was a human I still have all the perks that come with being a demon. I mean the souls, the human souls. Can you sense them all around us? I can and it's sickening, no wonder demons don't like humans, we seems so weak. I suppose that's because we are weak."
"Yes, I can sense them and it's going to get worse once we get into the city. There are so many people in there so we won't be able to find the killer by sensing his soul, if he even has one. I suggest trying to tune it out ad focus of the case." I reply.
Just then the carriage stops and Sebastian opens up the door, "I hope the ride was pleasant Young Lord," he said as he helped Ciel out of the carriage.
I climbed out then Grell did too fusing with his coats while he did so.
Looking up at the building at which we had stopped at I realized that Sebastian had walked up behind me.
He leaned down and murmured, "This is where the under taker works, he is quite an important pawn," then he straightened up and walked in front of our little group.
"I shall call you when it if fit for you to come in," Then he walked in and almost immediately the building seemed to explode with laughter.
"What could he possibly be saying to that man?" Ciel asked sounding exasperated.
Then Sebastian swung open the door, "Come in, the undertaker will see us now"
I smirked at the irony, all of our little group was immortal yet I have a feeling we will all be visiting the undertaker quite a bit.
A man with long grey hair in an oversized black cloak was chuckling, "Oh my, laughter truly is the greatest gift... Now young lord I suppose you will be wanting to see those new ones that I've been getting in, these ones are quite odd to say the least..."
"Yes we know that their souls were never collected at the time of death, we came to find out if you could tell us who or why took their souls." Ciel said.
The undertaker walked behind me grabbing my head with his hands, his long finger nails tracing over my mouth, "From what I can tell the killer simply sucked the souls out of their mouth, which caused the victim to die. Nice and clean with no wounds to speak of... such a pity, they will look rather plain in their coffins..."
He released my face and walked back around to Ciel chuckling under his breath, "This killer will be rather hard to track down.. He has no pattern to his kills at all... unless there is a pattern in their cinematic records, I would think that the killer might just be getting rid of any one he happens across in the street."
"Well, That is all we will be needing of you right now, good day," then Ceil walked out with a look on his face that told me he was deep in thought, "Sebastian, would you be able to create a suspect list by visiting each place where the bodies were found and then use that information to find out where he will next be looking for a victim."
"Yes, of course, if I couldn't make an elaborate list of possible points where a random killer could be, then what kind o butler would I be" Sebastian said bowing.
"Good then it should only take you an hour" Ciel said smirking.
"Well, I'll be off then, and young master do try to keep out of danger" Then Sebastian was gone as if he had vanished in to thin air.
"Now, Ravenna please go fetch Grell, that idiot has gone chasing after Sebastian" Ciel ordered.
"Fine," I said curtly looking around for the trademark red coat of the grim reaper.
I saw a flash of his coat turning a corner down the road, sighing I realized that it was almost dark and I would have to make this quick.
Sprinting down one street after another following what I took to be Grell's coat, I realized that I was somewhat lost.
I stopped and the hair on the back of my neck stood up, it was twilight now and eerie shadows were everywhere.
Then from behind me there came on odd some slithering noise.
I felt an icy hand grip my heart, demons were not supposed to feel fear but there is no other word to describe my feelings.
"Disgusting... you are a truly vile being... it is a shame that you exist at all" said a deep raspy voice from behind me.
I whipped around but I didn't see anything, "Who's there!?"
"But if I told you it would make this all so... boring" the voice said quietly.
Becoming frantic I looked for a way to escape when I felt a sharp pain in my side.
I looked down at where the pain was coming from and all I could see was darkness.
My last thought was wondering when I had fallen over, because I could feel cold stone on my face, then I slipped into the blackness of unconsciousness.
