Catherine's POV

The doors to the room suddenly opened and in came the creepy dolls along with that creepy music.

"Damn it I hate these things!" I roared as I went to hide behind Sebastian.

"So do I" Ciel agreed.

"It would seem they are being controlled by the song" Sebastian suggested eying the dolls. Then he began to sing making me get hearts in my eyes and Ciel shot a him a surprised look. As my husband sang the dolls stopped and their heads moved side to side.

Then the butler jumped into the air and landed behind some of the dolls. My eyes went wide when he broke the neck on one of them and continued doing the same routine will still singing. Eventually the dolls broke on their own and suddenly Sebastian appeared before me and kissed my left hand.

"Hmm impressive"

We all turned to see the puppeteer emerge from the shadows.

"I'm afraid I can't let you two leave after all you are my master's property"

"Over my dead body asshole" I roared.

"The rings you and your sister have are of the Hope Piece something my master gives to those who transform into my dolls"

"Your master is mental then" Ciel growled.

Sebastian then threw me over his shoulder and did the same with Ciel before going onto the balcony and leapt off of it. Sebastian kept running until we came to a bridge and my husband put us back onto our feet.

"Have you finished gathering information on the kidnappings?" Ciel asked my mate.

"The contract young master comes before anything else and I came before Catherine could harm you, keeping your safety and hers are priority"

"Very well I'll let this slide" Ciel added. "So what information were you able to find out"

"I'm afraid those dolls were of the kidnapped girls and it's too late for them, I also searched the main portion of the mansion we were just in and Lady Elizabeth wasn't there, I believe she's in the tower close by the manor though"

"Very well"

The three of us then rushed to the tower where Grell was holding back Pluto by his leash. Pluto barked happily when he saw us and at seeing my husband Grell squealed. Pluto became free and the demon hound shape shifter jumped on top of me and knocked me over while Sebastian side stepped to avoid Grell.

I chuckled as Pluto licked me affectionately before eventually getting off of me and he sat on his haunches.

"Why is he acting like a dog?" Grell wondered.

"He's a demon hound" Sebastian answered.

"Really?!"

Ciel, Sebastian, and I sweat dropped as Grell became lovesick. My husband then noticed the door ahead.

"There's a seal on that door they can only be opened by a demon hound" the demon told us.

Pluto's collar suddenly glowed blue and a minute later the shape shifter took his true form. The seal on the door broke and the door opened and Pluto soon disappeared into the building. When we entered the building I caught Lizzy's scent and notified the group. The scent led us to the room at the top of the tower and I drew my swords out in case I need them. Sebastian gave them back to me after I had apologized to Ciel.

"Lizzy! Ciel exclaimed when we finally saw her.

Our cousin looked up at us and smiled. Then she was suddenly in the air and I could see invisible strings holding her in place.

"Damn it she's being controlled!" I exclaimed.

Unable to control her movements Elizabeth took hold of an ax before being sent towards Ciel. I grabbed Ciel and dodged out of Lizzy's path. Then the blonde was sent my way and Grell got in front of me.

"Use these!" I suggested to the grim reaper offering him my swords. "Just don't hurt her"

"I won't darling" Grell promised before taking my swords and used them to cut the invisible strings that were controlling Lizzy. Ciel slid out of my grasp and was able to catch our cousin as she fell.

"She's alright just a little shaken up I think" Ciel reassured me.

Suddenly the puppeteer attached strings to me, Sebastian, and Grell. My swords clattered onto the ground as the puppeteer emerged into the light. Seeing the ax Lizzy used Sebastian kicked it up onto the air and once he was freed did my husband free me and Grell.

I grabbed my swords and leapt into the air above the puppeteer. I sliced off the puppeteer's hat and stuffing fell out of the hole I created. The creep landed on his back and Grell got a good look at him.

"That's Drocell Keinz, his soul was obtained by a reaper five years ago" the red head explained.

"So someone used a temporary soul to reanimate his body" Sebastian speculated.

"That's messed up" I muttered before putting my swords back in place. I looked to where Ciel held Elizabeth. "How is she?"

"Asleep she's been through enough tonight but otherwise she's fine"

I breathed a sigh of relief before Drocell said.

"This isn't over yet"

Then the puppeteer got to his feet and ran off. Grell promised to look after Elizabeth while Ciel, Sebastian, and I followed after the puppeteer. The puppet master led us to a room and Drocell seemed lifeless on the floor. Pluto was laying down before the mysterious master in the chair ahead of us which was turned away so we couldn't see who it was.

The master was male and apologized for Drocell's incompetence. Other remarks were made including where I attacked Ciel and that pissed him off. My brother ran over to see who the mysterious man was but his eyes widened. Sebastian and I joined him to find out the supposed master was a stuffed doll. A small puppet had been doing the talking and it stood up. I yelped and jumped into Sebastian's arms completely freaked out as the small puppet laughed before taking off.

"I would follow that accursed thing but the being controlling the puppet is not here" Sebastian notified me and Ciel.

"Very well let's get out of here" Ciel suggested.

Sebastian put me back onto my feet and we returned to find Lizzy still asleep. Grell kept his word by keeping her safe and tried to give Sebastian a kiss but that only earned the red haired reaper a good sucker punch to the face by me.

Later.

Ciel's POV

"You seemed to enjoy your little party" Sadie told me.

Sadie had permission to spend the night at the manor. She had one of the guest rooms prepared for her. For the moment she and I were playing chess. After the party settled down Elizabeth left with Paula and Richard.

"I did I'm also glad it wasn't over the top" I confessed moving a pawn.

"So you like Lizzy's gift?" the dragon shifter asked eying the Hope Piece replica my cousin gave me. Despite already having two pieces of the Hope Diamond I was very moved by Lizzy's gift.

"I do but there's one gift I hope to have from you"

"Watch it Little Mate I already gave you a nice fountain pen to use" Sadie growled in disapproval.

"This gift I seek is different" I explained before beating her in our match.

"Crap I was so close to winning" Sadie complained bowing her head in defeat.

Catherine's POV

"It feels wrong to be spying on them" Mey-Rin whispered.

Mey-Rin, Finney, and Bard were watching my brother and Sadie through the crack in the door while I leaned against the wall. I was only here because I wanted to make sure these three didn't mess anything up.

Ciel's POV

"And what gift were you referring to Little Earl?" Sadie asked.

I chuckled before getting to my feet. I removed the Hope Piece my cousin gave me and held it out to Sadie. Her eyes held confusion and I told her.

"This ring is what I want my future wife to have my lady"

Catherine's POV

"Wait a second did he just propose?!" I hissed and I got behind Mey-Rin to look into the room.

Ciel's POV

"My lord are you?" Sadie began but I placed a finger to her mouth.

"Sadie I am asking if you will become my wife, I wanted to propose to you first before some other bloke stole you away"

"But Lizzy gave you this ring Ciel" Sadie countered.

"I asked her if I could use it to propose to you and she agreed, I also asked your parents for their permission and they didn't hesitate to say yes, so I ask again Sadie will you marry me when we are a bit older?"

Instead of tears Sadie smirked before replying.

"What do you think milord?"

I smirked in return.

"I would say that's a yes"

I slid the ring onto her left hand and having the courage I kissed her.

Catherine's POV

My eyes went bug eyed at seeing my little brother having his first kiss. Mey-Rin and Finney were silently crying while Bard was grinning.

"What are you four doing may I ask?"

I froze when I heard my husband's voice and the others gulped. I took off like a bat out of hell and after hiding in a closet for ten minutes I swung by the kitchen and grabbed a glass of wine to calm my nerves.

"Should you be drinking Little Dhampir?"

"What have I told you about sneaking up behind me?!" I snapped at my husband turning to look at him.

"I am simply one hell of a butler my love" the demon purred coming over to me.

"You better not have punished Mey-Rin, Finney, and Bard too much" I muttered.

"I just made them leave before the master noticed but you I have other plans"

I nearly spat out my wine at the sexy look in his eyes.

"Are you trying to give me a nosebleed demon?" I demanded.

"I think your done with this" Sebastian stated before taking my wine and poured the rest of the contents out. My husband then lifted me upwards and sat me on the counter. My legs were on both sides of his waist and my husband lowered the sleeves of my dress before proceeding to kiss the left side of my neck.

"Fool you do realize this isn't exactly the place for what's in your mind" I countered enjoying his tongue licking my throat.

"I don't plan on doing that" my mate promised before he seized my lips with his. As his tongue danced with mine I couldn't help but get aroused.

"Oh dear it would seem I excited you" my husband teased after letting my lips go.

"Damn you demon" I growled.

Sebastian smirked before looking to my arms and I wrapped them around his neck. Soon he lifted me off of the counter and we resumed my punishment in our bedroom .
