Sebastian watched as his master slept in his bed. He had been concerned that his master had been claimed by something else when he was in his death state. He sat there and stared with inquisitive eyes.
My master's soul may be more resistant than what I initially thought. No matter, he will remain mine. No matter what.
Ciel carefully sat up and propped himself against the pillow. His butler gave a small smile as he gave him some nice chicken soup. Ciel ate slowly as his butler put the fourth blanket on his bed. Ciel stared into his bowl of soup as Sebastain put more wood in the fire place.
"I hated that." Ciel said as he slumped against the head board. "I hope that never happens again."
"What? You meeting a ghost or almost dying?"
"Both. I'd rather avoid both." Ciel said as sighed and brushed back his hair.
Sebastian chuckled as the embers from the fire rose up the chimney. "What now my lord? Will you tell the queen in a letter?"
"No. I wasn't even supposed to be involved if she hired the Yard for this. Tell Abberline where the cave is, he can take all the credit." Ciel said as he turned over in bed and fell back to sleep.
"Yes my lord."
Late in the afternoon, Abberline had called the rest of the Yard and had the cave area roped off. He joked with them, telling them it wasn't a big deal. Sebastian made sure that the Yard thought it just a string of strange coincidences by digging tunnels under the sites where the people had been disappearing. It worked and the heat died down.
Then much to the butler's relief, Grell had to leave soon afterwards. He had read the souls of the nobles and had to go back to London to report on his work. He blew Sebastian a kiss and ran away, laughing giddily.
Ciel spent the rest of his vacation days in peace until the time came to leave for the mansion. Ciel was about to hop into the carriage when he felt a presence looking at him. In the library window, the young girl looked at him before vanishing again. Ciel kept staring at the window before turning around and getting into the carriage with Sebastian.
"What a vacation this has been." He said while gripping his top hat.
Sebastian nodded.
"Yes. But there's no reason to tell the other's the first part of your week, is there? No need to scare them with ghost stories..."
