Catherine's POV

"Who the hell would attack a child?" I asked Sebastian.

The queen sent us a letter to investigate a recent crime spree in London where young boys regardless of social status were being attacked and having their eyes gouged out.

"I don't know my love" my husband answered.

I placed a protective hand onto my slightly bigger baby bump. I was out of the first trimester and now fourteen weeks along into my pregnancy.

"Esme isn't giving you any trouble is she?" Ciel asked noticing the way I held my belly.

"No she's fine though she's now starting to kick"

This was a given fact my unborn daughter had started her kicking a week ago. As though she heard me the little minx gave a little kick and I groaned since it hurt a little. Sebastian smiled before placing a gloved hand on top of my swollen middle. Immediately Esme stopped kicking and I gave my husband a kiss on the cheek.

We arrived at the latest victim's residence. When I saw the poor lad with his eyes wrapped up in bandages it broke my heart. According to him whoever attacked him was a boy about his age and was dressed like a noble.

"Thank you for your information" Ciel thanked the lad. "And I'm sorry for what you endured"

"Just try and find the creep who did this my lord" the boy replied.

Ciel looked to me and I nodded before handing over a stuffed bear that was from Funtom. The boy took it and the lad's parents tearfully thanked me and Ciel for our kindness. The boy liked his new toy which pleased me and Ciel and we took our leave.

Ciel said we were being mocked and to prove his point he used a map. He drew a pattern between our home and the Trancy estate mixed with the crime locations.

"Son of a bitch it's a damn spider web" I spat. "And I was hoping we were done with that little shit"

"Language my love" Sebastian told me.

I rolled my eyes at my husband's remark.

"Sebastian have you heard anything of Alois's condition?" Ciel asked.

My husband smirked and answered.

"No my lord I have not"

Suddenly Sebastian grabbed me and Ciel and leapt backwards a few feet away.

"Who the hell is attacking us?!" I demanded when the dust cloud cleared.

Sebastian released me and Ciel so he could stand in front of us.

"Catherine stay here with the young master" Sebastian told me.

"Will do" I promised.

My beloved kissed my forehead and took off to deal with whoever was creating chaos. I sniffed the air and I rolled my eyes.

"Reapers"

"Don't tell me Grell did something stupid again" Ciel asked.

"No one of the scents belongs to William T. Spears and another male reaper it has to one be someone we haven't met before because the scent is new"

"I see well Sebastian can handle them"

"He is one hell of a butler after all" I added.

Ciel smirked at my comment before he suddenly held his head in pain. Realizing he was suffering a flashback from our past I drew Ciel into me hoping my touch would relax him. After shaking for a few minutes Ciel relaxed in my arms.

"Easy little brother" I told him.

"I'm sorry Catherine sometimes the memory of the fire and Alois comes into my head" Ciel apologized. "I know I can always count on you to be there for me"

I snorted and I kissed Ciel on his forehead before letting go. Suddenly Ciel took off running and I followed after him. I understood why Ciel took off because Alois Trancy was running away from us. However something wasn't right and I didn't like it.

After a short chase Ciel had Alois trapped in an alley. Suddenly someone from Scotland Yard stopped their carriage and called Ciel by the little shit's name.

"I'm not Alois Trancy" Ciel corrected the officer who approached. But the bloke and his partner grabbed my brother and I snarled.

"What the hell are you doing?!" I roared.

But no one listened to me and I tried to stop the officers but one of them blocked my path. Then the demon maid Hannah made the false identification of Ciel being Alois. She said viscous lies about Ciel which made me shake in anger and I felt my fangs lengthening. Ciel's eye patch was removed and tossed to the ground.

"Catherine don't! I'll be fine!" Ciel shouted seeing I was about to do something foolish. I felt tears slide down my face as I watched my little brother be taken into custody. Once Scotland Yard was gone I unleashed my fury on Hannah. I grabbed her throat and slammed her into a nearby wall.

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you" I demanded making sure the demoness saw my glowing eyes and sharp fangs.

"Little Dhampir"

I felt Sebastian pull me away from Hannah. The female demon walked away casually while I still was fuming mad.

"Scotland Yard took Ciel thinking he was Alois" I told my husband.

"You need to calm down my love" Sebastian suggested.

Knowing he was right I relaxed my body and once I was calm enough did Sebastian release me.

"We'll find the young master my love" my mate promised.

My beloved then fished out the map Ciel made earlier.

"I know where he is"

"Then let's not bullshit around and get my brother back"

Sebastian smirked before he and I took off. My husband led us to a mental hospital and we landed on the roof with ease.

"He's here alright Ciel's scent is inside"

Suddenly Sebastian and I dodged being shot at by machine gun bullets. Oh I had enough of this!

Taking my swords out I charged at Hannah and avoided the blasts from her weapon. When I got close to her I sent the machine gun away using my thoughts and the long range firearm exploded when it landed on the ground below. The next thing Hannah knew I had her pinned beneath me and one of my swords was embedded in her side.

"It hurts doesn't it?" I hissed. "I temporarily made you unable to move"

I then pulled out my sword and ignore the blood that stained it's blade. Suddenly Ciel's screams were heard and I didn't hesitate to run off after his cries. Sebastian managed to get inside and I did the same. We found the room where Ciel was and my little brother was on the floor.

I tried to get to him but Sebastian pulled me back.

"Sebastian what the hell?!" I demanded.

"Something isn't right" my beloved answered. Sebastian then looked to Claude who stood behind him. "You mixed their memories"

So Alois's memories were infused with Ciel's? Now I was pissed.

"Indeed I did" Claude confirmed.

"How" I hissed. My body was shaking violently. "Dare You"

"I would advise getting your bride out of here Sebastian" Claude warned. "She's becoming unstable due to her anger"

"SHUT YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTH!" I roared. I almost got out of Sebastian's grasp but my mate still held me back firmly.

Ciel suddenly stood up and he looked to Sebastian.

"This is an order leave and stay out of my sight"

Sebastian's POV

At hearing my master's order I had no choice but to obey. Catherine hissed and I needed to get her out of the current situation. I picked her up into my arms and left behind my young lord.

Catherine's POV

I slammed my fist into a tree trunk making the whole tree topple over. The sun was setting and my rage from Claude's manipulation of Ciel began to recede.

"We should be returning to the manor" Sebastian said.

I didn't say anything to my husband nor could I look at him. Like a fool I felt tears slide down my face and I heard Sebastian coming up behind me. He turned my body around and pulled me into his embrace and he kissed away my tears.

"You have my word we'll get him back Catherine"

"This wasn't supposed to happen" I spoke finally. "Not like this"

Sebastian gently kissed me. He wiped away any remaining tears that slid down my cheeks with a gloved hand. Eventually my husband broke the kiss.

"Now my love shall we plan on getting your brother back? It's time we showed Claude and his group of misfits we are one hell of a team"

His remark made me smirk.

"Yes mate I like the sound of that"
