London had seen its fair share of pain and suffering, so I wasn't surprised that the city was already up and running with only a few reminders of the fire that burn across this fair city. 'The Queen was somehow still alive and once I get settled that will be my first task,' I thought as I neared my destination. The familiar sign of The Undertaker came into view, and I slowed my horse. I came to a stop and got off, smiling at the sign and then went in. The small place smelled of death and a weak tea, "Undertaker are you here?" I called.
"Ohhh a customer," a very annoying and familiar voice sang, "Awe it's not dead."
"Grell what are you doing here! Where is the Undertaker," I demanded.
"I could ask you the same thing, aren't you suppose to be dead or something?" Grell said.
"You're the Grim Reaper shouldn't you know," I said, his eyes flashed and narrowed.
"For a little girl you do have a rude mouth," He sneered.
"Never had a mother to teach me right from wrong," I replied, "Now you are wasting my time I need to talk to the Undertaker,"
"Fine, I buried him in salt again," Grell said, motioning to a large vase with the undertakers head sticking out of it.
"Hello Beth, what brings you here," he said in his normal insane voice.
"I need your help, I want to summon the demon my little brother called Sebastian Michaelis, I require his services," I said. "YOU WANT TO BRING BACK SEBASTY! WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY SO?" Grell yelled, grabbing my arms and swinging me around. "Put me down….NOW" I yelled. He stopped and set me down, "Can you really bring him back? He doesn't make deals that often." "One thing I saw while I watched him was he cared for my brother, more then he would ever confess to and knowing that he had been tricked and the real murderers are still out there will hit him hard and hopefully he will agree to a contract," I said. "What do you mean he was tricked, and how was that even possible," Grell asked. "The real murderers used the fallen angels need to purify to trick Ciel, Sebastian, everyone into thinking that she was the real killer, but I was there that night of the first fire, I watched my parents death and then my home being burned to the ground and my brothers happiness torn away, I dragged his body out of the fire only to watch him get tricked into death, and that is why I no longer hide in the shadows, I am done watching, it is my turn to play the Queen's Guard Dog and snuff out all who have caused my family pain and disgrace." I told them, "Can you help me or not." "Yes I can, but I will have to mark and kill you first, Sebastian has gone back to his realm, and the only way to contact him is by giving you his symbol and then killing you, it will only take an hour for me to prepare and get ready, you can be dead by noon," Undertaker said, smiling. "Fine do what you have to, Grell and I will wait here," I said, and he got up. "I love the feeling of the water being pulled out of my body" He said then went into the back room. "Grell, I will be needing you help in the near future and I know how you like Sebastian, if you help me when I ask you can have him for a day," I offered the reaper sitting next to me. "Not only do I get to watch you die today I get to have a day with my darling Sebastian, are you trying to kill me, of course dear, I'll do anything you ask of me," he said. "Anything Grell, don't lie to me." "Ok, almost anything." "Good, looks like I got myself one more pawn for the game I have yet to begin playing," I said. "So how does it feel?" Grell asked. "Excuse me?" "To know that you are going to die in the next hour," Grell said, a wicked smile on his face, "I don't know normally get to ask that question." "I don't really care; if I can't get Sebastian to sign a contract with me then I will finally leave this world, and all its sorrow." "You know that you are giving up your chance of eternal peace and rest, your soul will be his." "When the creature that has my brother soul has mine I will be at peace." "And they call me insane, oh well your mind is set, and at least I get to watch you die. I hope it's bloody," Grell said smiling. I looked at him, 'So do I,' I thought, 'I am done with this world and the only reason I would ever come back would be to rid it of the lying bastards that walk upon it.' The hour went by slowly, as I half guessed it would. The Undertaker returned, his normal smile upon his face, "This way, if you please, it's all ready." I nodded and followed him into the back room, "Undress and lay upon the table there, Grell, you'll be wanting to help hold her down, the first part hurts the most." The Undertaker chuckled, once I had laid down. Grell smiled and pined my arms down, "Make it fast, I want to watch her blood drain from her body." "Just hold her still, now Beth there is no going back once this happens, you do know that right?" the Undertaker asked, I caught a glimpse of his yellow and green eyes, "You're getting soft in your old age…Reaper," I laughed. "How does she know that?" Grell asked. "I know many things; living in the shadows has its – AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as the Undertaker pressed a brand on the side of my rib cage, "STOP PLEASE IT HURTS…AHHHHHHHHHHH!" "I warned you that the first part hurts the most," The Undertaker laughed, a sudden pain erupted in my chest, "the next part ends too soon for your body to tell what happened" My vision began to blur, I looked at the dagger that now protruded out of chest, I looked up at Grell who was grinning like a mad man, 'So we meet at last ….Death'…..
