Catherine's POV

Both Ciel and I felt a lot better the next day. When Ciel saw my eight month belly he went into protective mode and demanded what happened. Sebastian thankfully explained that Esme had a growth spurt hence the reason my belly was bigger. Ciel calmed down and apologized for being a worry wort.

Levi had to leave London due to a vision he had and wished us luck in wrapping this investigation up. Speaking of which Ciel, Sebastian, and I were about to leave to head to this Kelvin 's place. The name sounded vaguely familiar to me but I couldn't remember from when.

"My, my, Little Dhampir you look quite the warrior tonight" Sebastian complimented me as he helped me finished dressing in my maternity clothes. I wasn't wearing a dress instead I wore a blue long sleeved shirt without a corset since it would be very uncomfortable in my current state. My pants were black and I wore dark grey boots. My swords were strapped in their holders which were on my waist.

I had these clothes specially ordered for me a bit back. I turned to my husband and kissed his lips as a thank you before I pulled my coat on. Soma and Agni were sad to see us go but they wished us good luck and Ciel also thanked them for being concerned about him and myself when we were sick.

According to Sebastian the journey to Kelvin's estate took a day by rail and carriage. However since Sebastian was a demon he was able to get me and Ciel to the estate in under an hour which was what Ciel ordered.

"So this is the place" Ciel muttered once Sebastian put him and me onto the ground. My brother turned to my husband. "Are the children here?"

"Yes although I am not certain they all are here they seem to be well" Sebastian confirmed.

I placed a hand to my belly feeling uneasy. Sebastian immediately noticed and he took it before placing onto his lips.

"It's alright Catherine" Ciel said hoping to reassure me. He took my other hand and squeezed it. "I know your scared sister but this will be over soon I promise"

I could only nod and after another round of reassurance from my husband and brother did the three of us approach the entrance of the manor. The doors opened and in front of us stood Joker.

"Welcome to this estate the Baron has been expecting you Lord Phantomhive and Lady Michaelis"

We entered the dark manor and my uneasiness began to spike. Soon light filled the hallway and all around us were creepy human figurines and prosthetics. While we followed Joker Ciel told Sebastian something which I didn't hear.

Joker suddenly chuckled and he has stopped walking.

"Someone shouldn't judge another by their appearances alone, I guess it's hard for you Lord Phantomhive to have been named such as "The Queen's Guard Dog" amongst others"

"As you aware I am Earl Ciel Phantomhive and my lady sister is Catherine Michaelis, it's rude for a servant to call us different names"

Joker snorted before saying dinner was ready and he opened the door next to us revealing the dining room. Our host wasn't there yet so Ciel and I sat down. The doors nearby opened and sitting in a wheelchair was Baron Kelvin. Two children stood behind him and they looked emotionless.

"My Lord Phantomhive! You truly are here and you brought your lovely sister with you!"

I did not like this man and neither did Ciel. Kelvin apologized about his appearance. A few minutes later more children dressed as servants came in with some food and Joker began to pour some wine. Apparently there were more children than the police suspected. Kelvin then suggested entertainment and Joker didn't seem fond of the idea but complied.

A curtain behind him moved and Joker's voice changed from his deep one to the one he used at the circus. A boy began to walk a tight rope and then he fell. He lay lifeless on the floor and immediately I closed my eyes not wanting to see anymore.

A few tears slid down my face as I smelled blood being shredded out of the children's bodies and Kelvin was enjoying every moment of this. Having enough I heard Ciel order Sebastian to stop something and I didn't open my eyes until I felt it was safe to do so.

Sebastian managed to save the life of a little girl who had almost been killed by a simple knife throwing act.

"Do you not like the entertainment?" Kelvin asked me and my brother. "Joker clean this up at once!"

"I've had enough" Ciel spat standing up. "I've found the culprit behind these kidnappings"

Ciel then began to walk towards Kelvin.

"My report to her majesty will be I've found the foul, vulgar, unsightly being behind this charade and I mean to dispose of him"

Just as Ciel drew out his gun did Joker put a sword at Ciel's throat. However I appeared behind the ringleader and had one sword under his neck while Sebastian had the other pointed at his chest near his heart.

Kelvin told Joker to knock it off and Joker reluctantly pulled his blade away from my brother while I removed mine away as well and Sebastian returned my other sword.

"Where are the other children Kelvin?" Ciel demanded from the Baron.

"Their in the cellar I'll take you to them if you wish"

A short lift ride later we arrived at the cellar in question. Kelvin sprouted off nonsense about not being at Ciel's side which confused me and my brother. Then the doors opened and at seeing what was inside both me and Ciel widened our eyes.

The cellar was the same spitting image of the place where Ciel and I had been imprisoned. In the center of the room was a table meant to use in a ritual. The were multiple cages full of children.

The crazy Baron then explained how he knew me and my brother. Five years ago Kelvin met me, my brother, and father at one of our parties. Ciel had hidden behind father while I did not. A bit later a friend of our father's named Chlaus had said hello. So apparently this was where Kelvin's obsession with my family began.

You could say the old coot was fascinated by Ciel which made the Baron begin to change his appearance and his wife left him. Being a philanthropist he gathered a whole bunch of children for the Redbourn Workhouse. At hearing the news of our parent's death and of our kidnapping this greatly upset Kelvin.

I've had enough of this bullshit this man is crazy I told Sebastian angrily.

Easy Little Dhampir Sebastian suggested.

During the history lesson Kelvin escorted us to the center of the room. Suddenly Ciel shot Kelvin which shocked Joker. Suddenly the ringleader broke free of Sebastian's hold but before he could even reach Ciel I grabbed the ringleader by his throat.

"I pity you Joker but I won't allow you or anyone else kill my brother" I then threw him onto the ground and held a sword at his throat. Kelvin fell to the floor and he was no doubt dying and Joker begged for Ciel not to kill him.

"He saved us! If it wasn't for him we'd would have died!"

Then Joker made the comment we too would lose something precious tonight. By now the other circus group was on the way to the manor. But Ciel wasn't worried.

"You shouldn't underestimate Phantomhive servants" Ciel told Joker simply.

Levi's POV

I managed to arrive at the manor just in time. However it was too late for Jumbo, Peter, and Wendy. They had been killed and I made a silent prayer before I ventured on. I found Bard gazing at a mourning Beast who held Dagger's lifeless body.

"Beast"

Beast immediately looked up me and her eyes widened in shock.

"Jester what are you doing here?!" she demanded.

"Giving you a chance to live" I told her. "I'm sorry that you lost some loved ones but they threatened my family and I will protect my flesh and blood with whatever it takes, if you leave now you can still live your life with the man you love, my cousin's won't kill him or anyone else if you heed my advice"

The tiger tamer remained quiet and she shed a few more tears before eventually nodding. She stood up and as she walked past me she told me thank you and I wished her good luck. I would make sure she would receive the bodies of her friends so they could be properly buried.
