(Next day- Alina's )

"Alina! It's here!" I heard Lillian say my name as I climbed down the stair case. I saw the letter in her hand, and quickly turned around heading back up the stairs. I went to the library, where I knew Ciel or Alois likely was. When I got there, it just happened to be my luck that they were both there.

"The information from the queen is here." I said calmy sitting down on the couch. Lillian came up to me shortly and handed me the letter. Out of no where Sebastian and Claude joined us.

"Red them out loud." Ciel said as he sat down beside me. I opened the letter and got the papers out.

"John Tailor/Age-35/Date and Cause of Death: 8-12-1887 unknown.
Anne Tine/Age-12/Date and Cause of Death: 6-20-1887 unknown.
Quil benea/Age:87/ Date and Cause of death: 11-23-1887 unkown." I said flipping through the papers. I stopped reading them aloud as I read the other papers.

"Lillian, read all these and tell me if I am wrong but there is nothing in common with any of them. Different gender, varying age group. The only simularity is the cause of death." I stated handing the stack to her. She quickly flipped throuhg them all, and nodded, only confirming what I had just said.

I looked back in the envelope, where a letter of formailty fell out. I picked it up and read it.

"I am afraid that there is no known cause of death on any of the victims. That is why I asked for you three to step in. There is no sign of sickness, blood, cuts, or anything. People would just find them hard and cold. I am sorry I could not be of more help, but I have faith in you three. Good luck."

"So how are we supposed to solve this case, without knowing any information?" Alois shreiked.

"Um, Alina we could always ask him for help." Lillian said placing the papers down on the little table.

I sighed holding my head in my hands. I quickly looked up and relaxed.

"I know someone who might be bale to look further into the deaths. If you two are willing, that is. I must warn you, he has a... intresting character." I said carefully choosing my words.

"If it helps, we must try anything!" Ciel said. I looked at Alois waiting for his response.

He sighed and turned in his seat, nodding yes for his approval. "Ok. We should probably get ready to leave then." I said. I stood up putting the papers back in the folder. "I will drive the carriage if Lillian can give me directions." Sebastian said bowing in formaitly.

"Fine." I said.


We had finally arrived in town, where we walked around while I found the building I waas looking for.

"This is it." I said, looking up at the building. I knew someone was about to ask a question when I slipped into the alleway on the side of the building, and went to the side door. I knocked in a rythym.

"This is an old rundown fashion store. Who could you know who stay shere? This place went out of buisness ages ago!" Alois said.

"I have friends in intresting places." I said. Suddenly the door slowly creaked open. I pushed the door open even more, and walked in. "Come on, follow me." I said. Everyone came in and Lillian shut the door. It was a bit dark and dusty, and soon Ciel started coughing. While Sebastain was comfarting him, I went over to him.

"Are you ok?" I asked. He nodded yes while still coughing. I looked at Sebastian for reassurance, which he did give. "Ohhh, what loevly friends you brought with you today..." I heard the voice of our help say. I looked over into the shadows.

"Well don't let yourself be distarcted. I need your help today." I said. I looked around waiting to see a flash of him. "Exspecially you. Oh how just looking at you makes my skin tingle." He said standing right behind Sebastian.

"Really now? Anyway, Sebastian, Ciel, Alois, and Claude. This is Grell. He's a grim reaper." I said raising my hand towards him.

"Oh, I have already had the pleasure of meeting Sebas-chan. Him too," Grell said pointing twoards Ciel. "So, hotstuff, you just couldn't resist staying away from me huh? Run away with me, Sebas-chan, my heart aches and calls for you." Grell said in a sing-song voice.

"Grell please. We don't have time for this today. I need to know about the deaths of these people. I need to know if they died on their schedule days, and if you can determine the cause." I said handing the packet of names to Grell. "Aw you take the fun out of the job, being so fiesty. Good quality in girls like us, it turns men on, right Sebas-chan." Grell said batting his eyes and hanging him self over Sebastian's arm.

"Please, as if anything you do could even intreste me." Sebastian said, pushing Grell away.

"You so cold Sebastian. It just drives me wild." Grell said pulling out his book. I rolled my eyes, as Grell flipped through the death records, to the people who had died. "No. Thats odd. None of these people were supposed to die, and they is no known cause of death, even in my book. If for somereason a person dies prematurely, it is stated why. Itdoesn't having anything." Grell said closing his book and handing me the papers.

"Do you have any idea why it would do that?" I asked. Grell sat down in a chair and though about it for a long while. "If someone was deleting records or any specific information. I have the dates they were all supposed to die though, so that wouldn't make sense. Why would you delete the cause and not when they should have died." Grell said shrugging his shoulders.

"Well thanks anyway. We will be leaving now." I said hastily making my way for the door.

"Wait right there a minute. If you think I will stand in the background when Sebas-chan is involved you are dead wrong honey." Grell said, looking at Sebastian with a wink.

"Oh please, your too kind." Sebastian said sarcastically. "Fine. No harrasment though! I will inform you when we make our next move." I said making my way to the door once more.

"Ok. Thanks again!" Grell said standing up. I hated involoving him, but now that I did there was no turning back. He would be there with us every step of the way.

Once we had all stepped outside we made our way to the front of the store.

"Well, that was a watse of time." I huffed. "No it wasn't. We now know that there is something going on here, that deffiently has to do with the underworld. Otherwise we would know the cause of death, or the records would say more information, right?" Lillian concluded. I nodded my head for the sake of saving an argue.

"There is one other thing we could try." Ciel said. We all turned to look at him. He exchanged a look with Sebastian.

"Yes, I do suppose. No matter, why don't we all make our way back to the manor for tea, and we can discuss it then." Sebastian said. We all agreeded, and got into the carriage.


"So what was that plan of yours, Ciel?" I asked siping lightly on my tea. We were in the tea room, lounging about.

"Well, I was thinking all the murders happened in a relative place right?" Ciel implored. I nodded my head. "Well there is no way the killer is in Versia right? Other wise we would know who the killer is or have more clues. So obviously the killer must be in the town over, Gringotts. So shouldn't we go there and look around?" Ciel asked. Such a simple plan, yet I never thought of it.

"Yes, I guess we should."I stated.

"I can't wait until this is over, and I can go back to my mansion. All this work is too troublesome."Alois complained I rolled my eyes at him and sat up straighter. I looked at Lillian, who was talking quietly with Sebastian. She nodded her head to him and then turned towards us.

"Sebastian and I will go there along with Claude and check out the surrondings before you all go along. I trust you can all act civilized, and get along with the workers?"Lillian asked.

"What? Your going to leave us here?" I yelled.

"I am not staying here with them. Claude you will take me with you." Alois said standing up.

"Fine. If you want to bring him, you can. He better not get in the way though Claude. You on the otherhand Alina, will stay here. I would much rather you be here where I know it's safe while I scout out that town." Lillian said. How improper. The servant ordering the master.

"Fine." I stomped.

"Young master, I would also like for you to stay here. You could pprotect and watch over Alina while Lillian and we are gone." Sebastian said. "I don't need protection!" I screeched. "Just meerly a precaution. What kind of reputation would my young master have, being the guest at your house if something was to happen to you." Sebastian grinned. I sighed and sat down. I knew there was no way I were to win so I just gave up.

"We will leave tommorow early. I am sure you too and get yourselves ready. I will tell Meylin to check up on you, if that is ok with Lord Ciel for us to use his servants." Lillian said looking at Ciel with permission.

"Yes, of course." Ciel said. "Well, good. Atleast everything worked out." I said sarcasticly before stomping out of the room and going to my own bedroom.

"Please excuse her. She has a temper."


(That night)

"I still don't understand why Alois gets to go!" I said from my spot on my bed. I was laying down, supposed to be going to sleep but I couldn't. I wasn't mad or upset anymore but I still had flickers of childish anger in me.

"It's for your own safety. Besides, I trust sir Ciel will do a great job in keeping you safe." Lillian said with a grin. I knew her words had a adouble meaning.

"I know she is gone, but he does still have a fiance`." I muttered. "Yes, I guess unfortunately for you." Lillian snickered. I just rolled my eyes, knowing what ever I had to say she would counter. "Just go to sleep Alina. Soon this will all be over with." Lillian said blowing out the candle. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep.


So now Grell is here. And Ciel and Alina will be alone for a while... well the servants will still be there but, you know. So Claude, Alois, and Grell are the only ones that remeber Ciel and Sebastain's "past life". Since it affected them directly, thats why. I guess Grell's love was just to strong XD

Anyway, I don't know if I will have the undertaker later or not. For now, I think this is good though. I figured out how I want it to go... I am sad to say, the end isn't too far away. I don't know how much will be in the chapters so it may actually be farther then I think...

anyway

Any suggestions, comments or ideas?
