A full hour later had us back in Griffith's manor and creeping to his late father's study. It felt like we were intruders but we weren't. Well, I suppose we were, really because Griffith didn't actually want us there but that was beside the point.

I watched as Griffith unlocked the study door and we hurried in to find the documents that proved that Sybil was behind the murders of several people, including an unborn child.

Click, click.

The noise of a loading gun had me turning around to see a tall brunet with green eyes pointing a gun at us. I rose an eye brow. She didn't look like a Sybil. "Don't move or I'll shoot." she threatened as several of her servants came in.

"Sybil Griffith, I presume?" Sebastian said.

"Who wants to know?" she snapped. It sounded odd coming from such a pretty thing but I couldn't judge a book by its cover. "Jack, who are these people?" Jack remained silent. I, Ciel, Sebastian and Gabriel all turned to look at him. He was looking at his stepmother with a look of the utmost horror. "Oh, Jack. Do answer me when I'm talking to you."

"Y-yes, M-my Lady." Griffith stuttered and I suddenly felt sorry for him. "they're. . . they're people investigating the m-murders of Lord David, sir Richard and his family."

"Oh." said Sybil who turned to her servants. "Get them."

Typically, I was the first to go down.

"No!" exclaimed a familiar voice as I was knocked out by one of the maids.


I awoke in a small dark place lit with several candles. I looked around to see Ciel lying on his front, all tied up. "I hate you." he growled rolling onto his back, sitting up and using his feet to turn himself around. "You had to get yourself captured, didn't you. You, a helpless female. . ."

"Correct me if I'm wrong but, it would seem you are here too." I commented. He glared at me but said nothing. "Where is Gabriel and Sebastian?" I asked with a frown.

"Coming."

And we waited.

BANG! The door came off its hinges and our butlers came storming in. Sebastian went straight to Ciel and Gabriel helped untie the Phantomhive. Ciel stood and they all turned to me. I was tied up in the most awkward position, with my hands chained above my head. I could only imagine how helpless I looked. "Well, what are you three gawking at? Hurry up and untie me!"

They didn't move. "I think I prefer you like that." said Ciel.

"I have to agree with you, there." Gabriel said.

Sebastian didn't say anything. He just smiled slightly at what the other two were saying. I looked down and realised that, not only did I look helpless, I looked. . .suggestive. I glared at them. "Gabriel, this is an order. Untie me now!" the mark on my wrist glowed and Gabriel bowed.

"Yes, my Lady." he said and freed me from the ropes and chains. Ciel and Sebastian watched me with amusement as I stood and glared at them further.

"Don't ever do that again." I hissed and I stormed out of the room.

"I think we may have upset her." Ciel commented.
