The letter of desperation

When Meyrin didn't come back, no one really noticed. It wasn't until the second week of her absence did Ciel notice. "Sebastian!" he called quite agitated after reading about a tsunami in Japan in his newspaper. Lucky for Meyrin that tsunami was nowhere near her. Sebastian sauntered into the room, his butler uniform just as crisp as ever. "Yes my lord?" he asked stopping a few feet from the wood desk. "Where is that bloody maid Meyrin, it's been two weeks and she still hasn't come back yet, any news?" he asked a little agitated that one of his servants should just waltz out of his life without a care in the world. Sebastian cocked an eyebrow for a minute before producing a letter.

"This came this morning sir, it's from Meyrin, but it's addressed to me sir, would you wish to know what it said?" Sebastian who was very reluctant to say anything about the letter said to his faithful master. The other two servants who had noticed Meyrin's absence for quite some time came into the room holding another letter addressed to Sebastian. "Se-Se-Sebastian, this letter just came for you it's another one from Meyrin, please, we have to know what's happened to her." Finny said hope in the young boy's eyes. The three servants were inseparable.

To be honest Sebastian had no love for any of them and wished that he could eat the young master's soul already. He sighed, opened the envelope, and read aloud the letter, as he did so his eyes grew wide with surprise.

Dear Sebastian,

I'm fine don't come to look for me, in fact if you're reading this to the young master, I regretfully resign from my position as the maid. I'm sorry young master but I can no longer go on bothering you with my terrible cleaning methods. I found someone that will take care of me for the rest of my life and I will be marrying him next month, if you would like to come you are welcome the more the merrier.

Mary had a little lamb and my dog had flees. Mares-eat-oats and does-eat-oats and I'll be home for Christmas. London bridges falling down build it up with clay and stone. The turtle is lost in the woods and the cat is out of the bag. The dog goes woof and the cat goes meow, the spoon ran away with the plate. In addition, the Raven fed hungrily on the flesh of the girl. Give Goldilocks the cold porridge and not the one that's too hot. Careful not to burn your tongue on the spoon Goldilocks. The tiger must leap the log in order to catch the frog, run fast tiger run fast.

I just want to say this before I ended the letter, Sebastian, you and only you are the one man I will always love. I'm deeply sorry for this again young master.

Yours truly,

Meyrin Sohma

Sebastian stopped reading the letter and everyone looked at each other in confusion for a moment. Sebastian was the first and only one to scoff at the stupid letter. 'So she's going to be forced to marry someone against her will now that is interesting. The fact that she had to resort to a secret code must mean that she's in some sort of danger as well. I'll have to see what the others think about this, I would just leave her but I need the say so from the young master, damn brat.'

"Meyrin's getting married next month that's so nice." Finny said his simple mindedness showing through. "But why did she have to resign she couldn't have brought her husband with her to work with us?" he asked stupidly kind of upset that she wasn't marrying Sebastian. 'Those two would look so great together, Meyrin and Sebastian.' Bard had the letter now and was reading through it again.

"What the hell's all this junk in the middle here!" he said frustrated that he couldn't figure out the secret message she had sent Sebastian. Sebastian smiled plainly, "that's a secret between me and Meyrin you don't have to worry about that." Ciel glared at the butler with a, you were hiding something from me look. "Sebastian, I will not tolerate any secrets kept from me what does that message say?" Sebastian smiled wider "I'm sorry sir but Meyrin clearly didn't want you to know or else she would have addressed the letter to you."

"I order you to tell me Sebastian!" Sebastian sighed it was in his contract with Ciel that he couldn't lie to him. Sebastian sat in a chair across from his master. "I can give you the gist of what it says but Meyrin specifically told me not to tell you anything because she is ashamed that she has let her master down. But she knew that you would ask so she said that I could give you the gist of the letter." Ciel looked at him waiting to hear what his maid has told Sebastian. "Ahem, Sebastian pleas come, I'm trapped, it doesn't seem like there's an escape I've tried everything. I'm really ashamed that I have let my young master down. They're torturing me here I'm locked up now and have been forced to marry someone. If I don't get out soon I'll die even before I walk down the aisle." He paused he didn't want to tell the young master about the fact that she was a cat, was the reason they were torturing her. The rest was true, the message went: Sebastian please help me, I'm so ashamed for the young master don't tell him. I lost the necklace so now I'm stuck being a cat. They are torturing me here I'm going to die before I walk down the aisle. If you must tell the young master keep out our secret please hurry Sebastian!

"You got all of that from that mess I don't get it?" Bard said still frustrated

"Meyrin's in trouble we have to help her!" Finny exclaimed also looking confused about the letter as well.

"Of course I knew what she meant I'm Mary." Sebastian said to them, he shot them a death glare seeing that they were about to laugh.

"W-well I have no way to break this to you Mary, but your dog has flees." Bardroy said half laughing but he was only shown a glare by Sebastian.

If any of you can figure out where this joke is from i will totally give you an internet hug

"Well I don't care." Ciel said reading his newspaper for the second time that day. He hated reading things more than once during the day. "But young master you can't just leave Meyrin like that she could really be in trouble!"
Finnian pointed out but the boy just ignored him.

"Meyrin was always a terrible maid not to mention she couldn't see the only reason I hired her was because Sebastian needed someone to boss around, she was only a pawn to exact my revenge. Since I'm close to that goal I don't think I need her any more." He said looking menacingly at the two men over the top of his folded hands. Finny started to cry and Bard cried as well.

"Well- well we won't work until she's back!" Bard said firmly, seeing that this truly would happen Ciel turned toward Sebastian. "Sebastian your orders are to go after Meyrin and bring that girl back here, do whatever you have to, to bring her back. Hell even marry her yourself if you have to but bring her back here!"

Sebastian blinked "But sir what will you do while I'm gone?"

"Are you going against our contract?" Ciel asked questioning his loyal demon butler. The butler got up and bowed to his master.

"Of course not sir I was just wondering how you would manage without me is all. I'm off then if I'm going to catch a flight to Japan I'll have to pack now." Ciel smiled at his leaving and then burst out laughing with the other two servants about his code name. Sebastian went to his room which was very big compared with the other servants. Meyrin and he were the only ones that had their own rooms that were servants. To be completely honest with himself he would rather be doing anything else than go to Japan and save a totally worthless maid from death. He would rather watch her die the slow painful death that she described in the secret message.

Sebastian went to his wardrobe, where he kept all his stray cats so the young master wouldn't find out. He took out a jet black cat and began to stroke the cat behind its ears. 'Humans are such stupid creatures.' He thought to himself as he patted the kitten and looked out at the stars.
