Chapter 2

I strutted out of the Shinigami building and caught a few of my coworkers looking at me with eyes full of lust. Handsome men always need to know their place. I came up to Eric as he was staring at my fine walking skills. I decided to mess with him a little because I felt flirty at the moment. I slowly moved up to him and moved my hand along his cheek.

"See something you like?" I asked quietly.

He blushed harshly, and looked into my eyes. "Nothing but the beautiful woman in front of me."

"Ahm," a voice grumbled.

"Ohhhh Will! Came to see me off?" I questioned, quickly turning around to look at him in the eyes.

He sighed and rubbed his temple. "I thought you were going to head out on your job."

"Yes, Will dear however, a certain man was eyeing me as I walked by…" At that, I watched Eric's feet run as fast as they could into the Shinigami building.

"Just get on with your job. You promised me you would be back before my overtime, and I doubt that." His face was concerned as he looked at me.

"I'm leaving now, Will." I swayed my hips as I continued to walk forward and finally transition into the human world. As I looked back, I expected to catch a staring Will, however, he had already continued to enter the Shinigami building. I sighed. It was expected from him.

In London, I quickly found the brat and Sebas – chan! He looked as pleased to see me as ever.

"Here to murder some prostitutes again?" the demon smirked slightly. "If so, I have prepared my butter knife in such a way that would be even sharp enough to slice through Shinigami skin."

I giggled, moving slightly closer to him in the dark alley way while Ciel was giving me a murderous look. "No, darling, although I would love to taste the feast you have prepared for me," I moved my hand ever so slightly to touch the hem of his black dress pants, "I'm on business today. Speaking of which, who am I going to take care of on this blood red night?"

Ciel opened up his stupid mouth, "We have some things to take care of in this alley. It just so happens to be between two stores that make for quite a sinister hide out. We have a doll shop, and a butchery. After simple thinking, this is obviously the most evident place for someone to be plotting such a scheme."

"And what scheme would that be, brat?"

Ciel shot me a look and continued. "A certain male human that owns a competing candy factory likes to hang dolls in his large office. We eventually connected him to the disappearances to young girls. He has been killing them slowly, in a most agonizing way. In order to preserve the bodies, He would cut open the stomach, carve all the intestines out of every part of the body, and even remove their brains. Then, he would cut the insides into small pieces and put it back inside the bodies. It acted as stuffing. He would even use a special spice that would get rid of the scent. That's how we tracked him down. And the reason behind it all? None. He just went insane after his daughter's death. He wanted to "preserve them so they might live better in the new life." What a freak."

"I'll just go shopping while you are working. I'll be back soon. Tata!" I grabbed my chainsaw and walked out of the alley. Soon enough, I came to a store that was open with many frilly dresses. I tried dress after dress, waiting for the feeling of bloodshed. Hours later, with two bags full of dresses and a closed store, nothing had happened.

"What is happening? Was Sebas – chan wrong?"

I took my precious chainsaw back to the alley and ran into it. As I glanced around there was nothing. No dolls, no dead man, no brat and Sebas – chan.

Out of nowhere, knifes flew at me, cutting into an inch of my skin on both sides of my arms and legs. Another cut strands of my hair off as they came flying from above. I growled in pain, wincing because I couldn't move from my position on the alley wall without pulling the butter knifes out of my skin. Wait… butter knifes… I turned my head to see a highly polished silver butter knife three inches into the cement of the doll shop.

"Sebas – chan!"

The red eyed demon flew down from the roof of the butchery and set down Ciel who was sitting bridal style in his arms.

"Yes Grell?"

"What is the meaning of this? If you want your lady up against a wall, you have to use your hands, not knifes. That's kinky."

He smiled sadistically. "I'm glad you approve."

"I don't darling" The longer I talked with him the more I could feel the pain of the knifes and the redder my coat turned. The metal grooves etched into my flesh with such ease, I was surprised. "Would you mind letting me go?"

Ciel came up to my face, showing off the freedom that he had. "If only there was a way… You see Grell, I made up that story about the dolls. You are the only one that will suffer tonight. I must say, I wasn't expecting you to come. But, after leaking the fake files about the girls into the Shinigami records, I was expecting a Shinigami to come here. But even better, it's you. If it were any other Shinigami, I could have expected a search for him, but no one cares about you, so I don't have to worry about it anymore."

The last sentence he said hurt me more than anything ever said to me. And I realized the truth of it. But after all I have endured, I wasn't going to break because of this brat. This was no time for flirting, this was life or death for me. "You can't kill a death god."

"Oh, I don't want to kill you. I want the contract cheated on. Sebastian figured out how. If I transfer it to an immortal being, he will still receive the payment for the work he has done, however, your soul will slowly be drained from you, not mine. Sebastian is happier with it because immortal beings have better souls to devour. Over the next few months, you will become accustomed to have a little bit of your soul ripped from you. You'll change for the better, I promise you. And you won't remember a thing."

A tear slipped from my eye. "No don't! Please, I'm begging you!"

"Maybe you should have listened to William, Grell," Sebas – chan sighed dramatically, "You wouldn't have to think of him not looking back as your last goodbye."

So, that's the second chapter. A bit of gore, not much Grelliam. Don't worry, it will get better! Thank you for all the views, and thanks for reading. I might update again Monday.
