Disclaimer: I only own Safiya.
The next day mother had returned home and we went to Ciel's town house after receiving a letter stating that he would visit tomorrow. We decided to go a day early as an excuse off of work. Lau joined us.
We searched the house for tea to have while we waited but couldn't find any. Though none of us heard the footsteps and voices coming up the stairs.
"Goodness sake where do they keep the tea in this house?" Mother asked looking through a hutch.
"I can't find it either." Lau replied looking in a book.
"Don't be silly! Of course it's not in there!" I exclaimed. After putting an empty jewelry box down. Then I noticed Ciel and Sebastian in the doorway with odd looks.
"Mother their here!" I informed her causing her to turn to the doorway.
"Why are you here?" Ciel asked angered.
"Ciel, you're early dear." she said dismissing his tone.
"You're new appearance here in town must mean..." Lau began.
"The queen's guard dog has a new scent to follow." mother finished. I narrowed my eyes at the mention of the queen. She always just sits around while her people do all the dirty work. I despise lazy people like that.
Ciel's face remained emotionless. We followed Ciel into the sitting room while Grell cleaned up. Sebastian fetched us some tea from the kitchen along with some blackberry pie drizzled in chocolate.
"I told you it would be in the kitchen." I whispered into mother's ear.
"He's struck again. Another prostitute was found gruesomely murdered in white chapel." Ciel began before mother could reply to me.
"These killings are far from normal. The number of violence is unprecedented." he finished.
"The most recent victim was a miss Mary Anne Nicholls. It seems a special type of blade was used on her. She was torn up beyond recognition." Sebastian continued while Ciel began eating.
"The murders unique sense of killing has earned him a nickname from the press." Ciel said after finishing a bite.
"Jack the Ripper." I said recalling an article. Ciel nodded.
"A frightening name, eh?" Lau commented while sipping from his tea. I nodded in agreement.
"That's why I'm here earlier then expected. I hurried into town to look into the situation myself." Ciel informed us. Lau set down his cup.
"But are you sure you'll be brave enough to stomach the crime scene?" Lau asked smirking.
"What do you mean by that?" Ciel questioned.
"The site of a dismembered body will certainly be horrific. And one can only imagine the stench. Blood and gore everywhere." Lau said standing and walking over to Ciel. I looked down. I'm pretty sure I could handle it. After all I have seen my mother perform surgery.
"Surely it will be enough to drive some men mad. Are you sure you're prepared to see such a thing? You're just a young boy after all." Lau finished while resting a hand on Ciel's face. I glared at Lau.
"I am the head of the Phantomhive family, and a service to my queen. Don't ask foolish questions." Ciel replied harshly.
"You're right, so sorry." Lau said. Mother continued sipping her tea while Grell stood behind her gazing at them with a worried expression.
"When will we go to see the scene?" I asked.
"As soon as we're done with tea." Ciel replied sipping from his cup. I nodded and finished my piece of pie.
As soon as we finished with tea and pie we took a carriage to town then parked it and began walking. We soon came to an area crowded by towns people. Lau, mother, Grell, and I remained in the crowd while Ciel spoke to the detective at the entrance of the alley that held the murder scene.
Ciel spoke with the man a bit before another man came along. Ciel showed the queen's letter before snatching the papers from the detectives hands surprising him.
"Well that was rude." Lau said.
"He's a child what do you expect?" mother replied. I chuckled.
The papers were taken back from Ciel by the other man and words were exchanged before Ciel and Sebastian walked back over to us.
"Now what dear?" mother asked Ciel as we began walking away.
"Now we go see someone who may prove to be useful right now." he replied.
"My lord, you mean?" Lau asked.
"Yes, indeed." Ciel replied. I smiled knowingly. We soon turned to another alleyway. And came to a stop in front of a shop. The Undertaker's shop to be exact. I visited often since I sometimes did research on those with disease so I may find a cure or even study anatomy of the human body for future surgery.
Or I would just stop by for tea and bring some of Undertaker's favorite biscuits from the bakery.
"So. Where are we?" Lau asked clueless. My eyes widened. I looked at Lau questioningly from where I stood in-between mother and Grell.
"You don't know! Then what was all that about?" Mother asked surprised and angry.
"It's a funeral parlor run by an acquaintance of my lord's." Sebastian informed Lau. We walked inside.
"If we're looking for answers this is the place." Ciel said. We looked around at the coffins, urns, and candles. It smelled dusty inside and it was awfully dark but our eyes adjusted. Then a creepy laugh sounded out.
"Welcome. I thought I'd be seeing you before long~" Undertaker's voice said from somewhere in the room. I hid a smile behind my hand as Grell, Lau, and mother got a bit scared. Then the coffin in front of us creaked open as a hand opened it.
"My lord and lady, how lovely to see you." Undertaker said as his eyes glowed from behind his hair and he smiled creepily. "Will I finally have the pleasure of fitting you in one of me coffins today?" he asked smiling and stepping out of the purple coffin against the wall.
Grell fell back on his butt while Lau and mother stared with their jaws wide open in surprise and fright. I laughed.
"Actually we're here for-" I began but Undertaker cut me off by gently putting a finger to my lips.
"No need to say, I'm already aware." he said and took his finger away. "Very well aware, my recent customers were a bit unusual so to say. I helped though. I made them look beautiful again." he said happily while getting behind me a stroking a finger down my face. I gave a closed eye smile. I was mostly used to his unusual antics.
"I would like the details please." Ciel said.
"Well first I stitched her up, then powdered her face-" Undertaker began.
"About the body not how you fixed her!" Ciel exclaimed. I chuckled.
"I see, your funeral parlor is only your cover business. How much is it, for information?" Lau asked. Undertaker frowned.
"I have no need for the queen's coins, there's only one thing that I want from you!" he exclaimed surprising Lau by getting too close. Then he turned his head to me. He rushed over and took my face in his sleeve covered hands. My eyes widened and I blushed at the close proximity of our faces.
"Please! Safiya. I'll tell you anything just give me what I want." he then pulled away.
"The gift of true laughter. Just one joke and all me information is yours." he said before running out of breath in anticipation.
"Lunatic." Ciel insulted. I hit his head.
"I'm afraid I don't have my notebook with me and you've heard all my jokes. I'm still finishing my new ones." I apologized.
"Then leave it to me." Lau cut in. "Here is my joke. It's a classic. On which side does the tiger have the most stripes? On the outside!" he said. The room was silent. Not even a cricket.
"Get it? Hah, hah?" Lau said trying to get a laugh. Undertaker's face remained stoic.
"My turn." mother said stepping foward. "I live for gossip so this story will make you laugh so hard you'll simply curl up and die." she said smiling. Then she began on the story of Allison getting a big dildo for her eighteenth birthday. Sebastian cover Ciel's ears while my eyes went wide and I covered my nose as it started bleeding and my face was red as my hair.
Lau eventually covered her mouth. Undertaker didn't laugh. He intertwined his fingers.
"Now my lord it seems you're the only one left. I gave you a special discount last time and I'm not gonna do it again." he said. Ciel growled. Then Sebastian stepped foward.
"I suppose it can't be helped." he stated while tightening his gloves.
"Sebastian?" Ciel questioned.
"Everyone, please wait outside. No matter what happens do not attempt to listen to this." he said with a serious face. We all looked at each other before going outside and closing the door. It was silent for a minute before laughter burst out from the building causing the sign to fall.
"Wow, I haven't heard him laugh like that since I first met him." I stated. Then the door opened.
"Please do come in now. I believe he'll tell us everything we'll want to know." Sebastian told us with a close eyed smile. We walked in to see Undertaker collapsed onto one of the coffins in giggles. Once back inside Undertaker sat back up and leaned on an arm.
"Sit anywhere you like while I fetch some tea." he said standing up and going to the back room. I sat on a coffin while everyone looked around for a proper seat. I chuckled before patting the space beside me. Grell sighed in defeat and sat next to me. Everyone else sat on the other coffins but Sebastian remained standing.
Undertaker came from the room holding a tray filled with beakers of tea instead of tea cups. I gladly excepted while everyone was hesitant. Sebastian denied a cup. I sipped from mine happily. Undertaker always makes the tea so sweet but never too sweet. He sat behind his counter.
"An interesting pattern these days. I often get customers who are incomplete." he said with that smile on his face. He seems to always have one.
"Incomplete?" Sebastian questioned. Undertaker grabbed his anatomy doll.
"Yes, the uterus is missing. Which is quite odd." he replied pointing to the area of the uterus then he began wiping dust from it.
"The killer is pretty messy with the body but that part is always precisely excised." he said.
"He did it on a road that was public though not high traffic. Wouldn't an amateur have a difficult time doing the procedure quickly enough?" Sebastian asked. Undertaker turned to him after returning the anatomy doll to it's place.
"You're a clever one, butler. That's exactly what I was thinking." he replied walking over to me. He held a hand out and I looked at it confused before having Grell hold my tea and taking it. Undertaker turned me gently and pulled me against his chest. I blushed as he put on arm around my waist.
"You see. First he slits her throat with a short weapon." he started while gliding a black fingernail across my neck softly. I shuddered against him. Sebastian, Grell, and mother glared at him.
"Then he rips in right here," he said rubbing just below my stomach. I stiffened more. "And takes her precious womanly part." he finished then hugged both arms around my waist putting his head on my shoulder. I relaxed.
"There will be more slaying, I'm certain. Sick killers like this don't stop until someone makes 'em." he stated.
"Will you stop him? Can you sniff him out? Or are you just a guard dog?" Undertaker challenged.
"I'm bound by the honor of my family. I eliminate any threat the queen asks me to." Ciel replied seriously. "By any means I find necessary." he finished. Then he stood up setting his tea aside.
"We're leaving." he announced before going to the door. Undertaker still didn't release me. Mother glared back at him.
"I'll just see you back at home." I said with a sweat-drop. She narrowed her eyes before leaving. Sebastian glared as well before closing the door. The footsteps faded away.
"So...why did you keep me behind." I asked as he finally released me.
"I miss your company." he replied gathering all the beakers of tea and setting the tray on the counter.
"Ah. You know I've been wanting to talk to you about something." I said sitting back down on a coffin.
"Hm?" he hummed while sitting next to me. I frowned and was silent a moment.
"I don't know how to explain." I began.
"Start from the beginning." he said simply.
"Well...I've been having these weird dreams. I see a reflection of myself only I look different. My eye is all healed, I'm smiling kindly, and..." I trailed off looking at the floor.
"And?" he urged.
"I have wings. Pink ones." I finished.
"Really? That's interesting." he said. I looked at him and he was smiling knowingly at me.
"You know something don't you?" I stated more than asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Whatever do you mean?" he asked pretending to be clueless. I sighed and stood up hugging myself.
"I've had that dream three times now and I'm starting to feel like something is about to happen to me. I just don't know what." I said walking over to his shelf and grabbing the urn he kept his cookies in. I opened it only to find it was empty. I groaned in disappointment and put the urn back. He chuckled and stood up.
"Ran out yesterday love. About this dream...just let things run their course." he stated putting and arm around my shoulder.
"Alright." I whispered not knowing what else to say. Then he randomly put his nose to my neck and sniffed softly. My eyes widened.
"Undertaker?" I shouted.
"Sorry, you just smell so lovely." he said chuckling. I smiled, blushed, and pulled away. I looked to see the sun was setting outside because the alley way was getting dark.
"I better go. It's getting dark." I said pulling away and heading for the door.
"Be safe love, and remember let things run their course. See you again soon." he stated while waving to me. I waved bye before walking out and closing the door. I began making my way back home which was about three alleyways out and four streets down. The sun had set and it was dark out making it hard to see. Very few street lamps were lit.
As I walked to the second alley way something felt very wrong. I soon heard foot steps behind me. I looked behind me to see a silhouette following me. I quickened my pace and so did my follower. I broke out in a run and so did the other person. Unfortunately I was in heels so they easily caught up to me. I was almost out of the third alleyway and onto the street but they grabbed me around the waist and covered my mouth pulling me back into the dark alley.
I tried screaming but the person's hand kept my mouth covered. I then felt the pain of a knife in my back. It severed my spinal cord and all went black.
I was then surrounded by white. Once my eyes adjusted I looked around to see people around me in white robes. Men and woman were smiling kindly at me. Some were scowling. I noticed they all had wings but each were different colors. The white winged angel approached, he had brown hair that went just past his shoulder.
"Safiya, I am sorry for the pain you felt when you died. But that doesn't matter now. What matters is that you shall be reborn as an our newest angel on Earth." he said. I looked up at him confused from where I was sitting on the ground. He held a hand out. I took it and he helped me stand. I then saw that I was wearing a pure white dress instead of red. My nails were painted red.
"Now let's see about those wings." he said kindly while getting behind me. I then noticed I had see-through feather wings that lay limply from my back. My eyes widened. He took the base of them in his thumb and index finger as he pulled his fingers from the base to the tip of my wings color spread through and I was able to move them.
My wings were pink with red tipped feathers. I noticed they were from my dream. I flapped them softly a couple times a lightly lifted off the floor before settling back down. They were the size of my body and seemed to give me a wing span of eight feet. I folded them into my back. I turned to the white winged angel and noticed the other angels disappeared.
"You may make the wings disappear by simply imagining them gone." he said. I did so and the feathers floated away leaving my back wingless.
"Simply summon them and they shall return." he finished. I nodded.
"But what angel am I?" I asked.
"An angel of love. Your duties on earth will be simple and easy to see. Help families love each other, teach people to love not hate, create friends not enemies, also help people find there soul mates by guiding them in the right direction." he informed me. I nodded understanding.
"If you have questions I believe a friend of yours will be there to help once you awaken." he said while smiling knowingly.
"Now close your eyes child." he said softly. I did so.
"Good luck." I heard him say before I felt myself falling back into black.
When I opened my eyes I was laying in a bed. I looked around not recognizing where I was. I stood from the bed and went outside the room. I recognized my surroundings as the backroom of Undertaker's shop.
"Undertaker!" I cried out coming out into the front room.
"You've finally woke up. You've been sleeping for two days, love." I heard him say while coming out of his purple coffin against the wall.
"Two days? Oh no mother! The Viscount's ball!" I exclaimed. In the panic my wings accidently came out causing me to scream. I accidently knocked over some jars causing them to shatter but luckily they were empty.
"So that wasn't a dream." I whispered looking at them. Undertaker whistled while looking at them.
"So, an angel of love eh? Nice wings." he said smiling. I looked at him confused.
"You knew?" I asked.
"Since you told me your dream. Why not look in the mirror, you've changed a bit, for the better too." he said chuckling gesturing to the long mirror in the other room behind me. I walked over to it and gasped at what I saw. My skin went from having flew blemishes to completely flawless. My scar on my eye was gone and my eye was no longer fogged over so I could see out of it. I smiled but kept my hair in front of it so no one would question me.
My figure had more curves in the right places but still maintained the innocent aura. I looked at my teeth to see they were perfectly straight and whiter then they were before. My wings didn't fit in the mirror but I saw they were the same height as me and went to the floor. I stretched them out as much as I could and they touched the walls of the room spanning five feet each. They looked amazing. All in all I looked beautifully angelic.
I looked down closing my eyes. My wings faded away leaving behind a couple feathers.
"So, are you the one to help me if I have questions?" I asked turning and walking back into the room.
"Yepp!"
"Sorry about the mess."
"Don't worry bout it love." he replied.
"So if I'm an angel, does that mean demons exist?" I asked.
"Yepp, so do shinigami, ghosts, and demon hounds." he stated.
"What are shinigami?" I asked confused. He walked over and guided me to sit on a coffin.
"Shinigami are gods of death, or grim reapers if you prefer. This is how you recognize them." he said combing his hair back revealing his face. I blushed. His eyes were so different yet so beautiful. They were bright green with a yellow ring around them. His face was so handsome too.
I didn't realize I was getting closer to him mesmerized by his eyes. He chuckled and let his hair fall back into place breaking me from my trance. I blushed and pulled away.
"So you're a shinigami?" I asked.
"Retired one. But that's a secret." he said chuckling and holding a finger to his lips. I smiled then remembered where I was supposed to be.
"Oh no! My mother is probably in fits right now, I've never been gone this long. I gotta go. I'll be back as soon as I can!" I shouted as I ran out the door and into the morning air. I ran as fast as I could to home at our doctor's office down the street. Once I arrived no one was home but the entire place was in a mess as if someone had searched for something, or someone, or me.
I went up to my room to change from the pure white dress I was in. I changed into one of my red dresses but laid out a ball dress for Druitt's ball that night. After I dressed I went downstairs to clean up the mess.
By the time I was done putting everything exactly where it was before the door opened to mother and Grell coming in.
"I can't think of anywhere else to look for her." mother said sighing.
"Hi." I said smiling causing her to jump and yelp. When she saw me she stared at me for a couple seconds before hugging me as tight as she could.
"Where have you been? I looked everywhere for you! Are you alright? Are you hurt?" she bombarded me with questions.
"Did you look at Undertaker's?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. Her face went red with embarrassment.
"Thought so. I was there studying the human body and visiting Undertaker." I said creating a story. Grell stood staring at me with a confused yet thoughful face.
"Is something wrong Grell?" I asked worried. He snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head no.
"Well I better write a letter to Ciel to tell him that you're alright." mother said going up to her room.
"What happened to the mess?" Grell asked while looking around the room with a finger to his mouth.
"Oh. I had nothing better to do so I put everything back in order so if we had any patients come in they wouldn't panic or something at the messy doctor's room." I replied. I heard the clock chime three times signaling it was three pm.
"Well I suppose I should get ready for the ball. It starts at six right?" I asked him.
"Yes madam." he replied nodding.
"Would you mind helping me with my corset after I finish bathing?" I asked shyly.
"Not at all madam." he said smiling.
"Thanks, and I told you to call me Fiya if you want." I said while heading back upstairs to my room. I then shed my clothing and bathed in the adjoined bathroom. When finished it was half past three so I dried my hair and let it hang in ringlets then I called for Grell. He came and helped me into my corset.
"What are these from miss? Their new." he commented on the two scars from my wings.
"Oh, I don't know. I woke up with them." I replied. I didn't lie just didn't tell the whole truth. He said nothing but finished putting on my corset. After that I asked him to stay to help me into my dress and do my hair.
After I finished getting ready it was half past five. Grell and I went downstairs where mother was waiting. We were picked up by Ciel and Sebastian in their carriage where we then headed to the Viscount's estate after picking up Lau.
"The viscount Druitt. Also known as Alastor Chambers." Sebastian said pushing up his glasses. I don't know why he was wearing them but mother said she'd fill me in on the way there.
"He graduated from medical school but has never gone into practice. Lately he's thrown several parties at his home. But behind the scenes of these soirees are secret gatherings with all his intimates maintained." Sebastian informed us.
"I heard that he's into black magic and all that occult stuff." mother commented.
"So your suspicions are that he's holding these parties to perform rituals which sacrifice the local prostitutes?" Lau asked.
"Yes, tonight is the last party of the season. Which means this is our last chance. Safiya will be our bait." Ciel said making me gasp.
"What! Why me?" I shouted.
"Because you're the only one we know to do it. Druitt loves all girls that are pretty and you're perfect for the job. Don't worry Sebastian will be beside you at all times. Right Sebastian?" mother said before turning to glare at him who nodded. I felt the carriage stop then the door opened. I sighed before taking the mans hand and stepping out.
The man looked at me amazed as I walked up the steps to the doors where music and laughter could be heard. Ciel and company followed close behind me.
Once we were inside mother pulled me over to the side with Sebastian.
"You will be introduced as my daughter naturally. Sebastian is your tutor that will be by your side while I mingle with Ciel." mother explained.
"Why won't you be with me?" I asked worried of being without her.
"Because I heard the viscount loves anything pretty in a skirt, and if I'm their I will merely distract him. You will catch his eye right?" she said cheekily while giving me a closed eye smile.
"By any means necessary but with your stunning beauty my lady you will have the attention of all the men in the room." Sebastian complimented while putting a hand on the small of my back. I blushed. He was right. At least three men in the room haven't taken their eyes from me since I arrived.
Sebastian and I began walking and mingling about after my mother, Grell, Lau, and Ciel went off to another part of the ball room.
"First things first we need to locate this murderous Viscount." Sebastian said.
"Oh! That dress is so adorable!" I heard a familiar voice call making Sebastian and I freeze in my tracks.
"I don't want her near me. She'll be in danger." I whispered to Sebastian.
"Then let us move quickly and lose her." he said bringing me over to the cake where we hid behind it.
"Hmm. Where did she go?" I heard Lizzy ask before peeking to see her walking away. Close by us I noticed a couple flirting. The woman showed signs of a major crush on a boy but the boy was too shy to make any moves so I secretly pushed him foward into her when Sebastian and I stood up. They then giggled/chuckled to each other before gazing into each others eyes realizing their love for each other. I smiled at them as Sebastian led me away.
"Let's go check on your mother." Sebastian said walking me in that direction. We found her sitting in a chair with men and women joking around her. She laughed loudly with them while Lau fanned her and Grell stood behind her chair awaiting to be of service.
"Looks like she's having fun. I wonder wear Ciel is." I said smiling. Then I heard Lizzy's laughter and looked to the dance floor to see her dancing happily with Ciel. My smile widened.
While walking we stumbled upon a group of young women giggling and blushing to each other.
"Young Druitt is so handsome! His hair is like rays of the golden sun." I heard one of the young girls say. I smiled up at Sebastian who nodded confirming my thoughts on who I thought was the viscount. He was dressed completely in white while sipping a drink. His hair was blonde and looked very silky.
He turned smiling to some women showing a handsome young face.
"There he is." I said. I took a deep breath. "Let's get this over with." I said and began walking over to the man with Sebastian close behind me. But at the moment the orchestra began to play music and people started dancing around us.
"I can't just walk through this." I whined. Sebastian the pulled me close and we began dancing gracefully. Putting those around us in awe.
"Then we'll have to dance our way over there." he said. I blushed at how close our bodies were. Luckily I've been to enough of these parties to know how to dance good. I smiled actually enjoying myself around Sebastian. By the time the dance ended Sebastian and I were on the other end of the room where the viscount was. We smiled at each other still holding one another even though the dance ended. Then we heard clapping and pulled away to look to the source.
"You dancing was absolutely amazing, my lady, with the grace of an angel." The viscount said with admiration in his eyes. I smiled knowingly and curtsied.
"Why thank you Viscount." I replied then stood straight. He walked closer to me.
"Please call me Alastor. Might I know you name?" he said then looked at Sebastian with a slight glare. Sebastian turned to me but had his eyes glaring at Alastor.
"Young mistress, allow me to get you something to drink." he said bowing slightly with a hang to his chest before he left. I smiled nervously as Alastor walked closer to me awaiting my answer.
"Safiya, you may call me whatever you like though." I replied giving him a closed eye smile. He chuckled.
"I do hope your enjoying the party," he said while taking my hand and kissing it. I looked away shyly. "Dear angel." he finished while smiling at me still holding my hand.
"Oh certainly it's a wonderful party. But my lord I've been waiting to speak with you all evening." I said pulling my hand away and folding my hands in front of me. He smirked at me.
"Oh?" he said urging me to continue.
"I'm bored to death of dancing and eating." I said closing my eyes and looking away.
"What a spoiled little princess you are, angel." he said while coming closer and wrapping a possessive hand around my waist pulling me closer. I resisted blushing, I wasn't used to this sort of contact but I have to get close to him to find out anything.
"Looking for something more, entertaining?" he asked letting his fingers crawl down lower while pulling me as close as possible putting my back to his chest and his hips to mine. I was only and inch or two shorter then him. I was blushing redder then a tomato. I took a breath to calm down and let it out in a sigh ridding me of my blush.
"You know of other amusements? I'd be most interested." I said as seductively as I could while turning to him.
"Of course, I'd be happy to show them to you angel, my precious little thing." he said taking hold of my chin and pulling my face close. I blushed a little.
"Oh I would enjoy that." I said quietly while smiling.
"You might be a bit too...innocent yet." he said smirking. I brushed my hand down his arm and allowed it to stay there.
"Oh please I'm dying to know. I'm a lady not a little girl." I said getting closer. His smirk widened and he got a look of glee in his eyes. I heard a slam and we looked to the dance floor to see Sebastian standing next to a cabinet announcing a magic show.
"I don't remember scheduling parlor tricks." Alastor said with a hand do his chin.
'He's creating a distraction for me! Now's my chance.' I realized. I grabbed Alastor's hand and tugged lightly pulling him away from the area. I put on a puppy dog face.
"My lord, I've seen more than enough parlor tricks. Can we go? Please?" I asked while continuing to lead him away.
"Oh yes, anything for you my angel." he said before beginning to lead me in a different direction and through a door. I made sure to check to see if the others noticed, they did. We traveled down a dark hallway and up some steps to a door.
"Where are you leading me to dear Alastor?" I asked keeping up my act.
"Were going somewhere you'll find very amusing. I know I do." he said opening the door and pushing me in lightly. There was a strange scent in the air. He walked further into the room. I began to feel light headed. I fell against the door closing it. I shook my head trying to make the feeling go away only making it worse. I heard him chuckle as I slid to the floor.
"See? Aren't you enjoying yourself? Little angel." was the last thing I heard him say before I lost consciousness.
I kept fading in an out of consciousness. I could only remember being tied up seeing different people in masks shouting prices. A black market? I couldn't tell. Then everything went dark again and panicked voices were all around. I then heard metal bending and arms lift me up gently.
When I came to fully I was being held gently in arms. I looked up and saw Sebastian looking at me with a closed eye smile.
"Are you all right my lady?" he asked opening his red eyes. I nodded.
"What happened?" I whispered.
"The viscount attempted to sell you on the black market but I got there in time to save you. The police are arresting him as we speak." he answered as we walked out a door to be outside in the night. A carriage was waiting with mother and Grell outside it. I could see Ciel inside waiting. Sebastian set me down softly.
"So does this solve the Ripper case?" I asked using Grell to steady myself by holding his arm and putting my head on his shoulder.
"We believe so. Thanks to you." Ciel replied. I smiled and stepped into the carriage and sat next to him. He yawned and I soon followed. Mother and Grell stepped into the carriage and closed the door. Sebastian drove us home. Ciel fell asleep on my shoulder while I laid my head down on his. The last image I saw before falling asleep were Grell and mother smiling softly at us.
I awoke later in bed and undressed but it was still nighttime so I fell back asleep.
The next morning I awoke and dressed before going downstairs and eating breakfast. Mother, Grell, and I then went to Ciel's townhouse to say goodbye only to learn that he was staying longer because Jack the Ripper was still on the loose. We caught the wrong person.
"Well at least no other women will be on the black market by the viscount." I said trying to stay positive.
"I thought I had him in my grasp and it was the wrong person. Damn!" Ciel slammed his fist down on the table making me jump. I looked at him concerned as he shook with rage.
We stayed there the majority of the day doing research. I left early to go back to the Undertaker. When I arrived it had started to rain.
"How good to see you again my lady. I quiet enjoy your company." he said smiling.
"You as well Undertaker." I said smiling.
"Something came for you." he said pulling something out from his robes. It was a letter and a book. I set the book down before opening the letter and read it aloud.
~Dear angel Safiya
Within this book is all the information you will need on every angel there is. Good and bad. As well as the rules of the angels. Before you perform any tasks your first mission will be to fall in love so you may understand the feeling and how to create it in other people. You may already understand family love, and friendship but what you also need to know is true love of lovers. Take as much time you need for angels are ageless. Good luck.

R&R! The contents of the book will be in the next chapter. Phew! 15 pages on WordPerfect this took me 3 whole days to make. I hope you like it and remember no reviews=no chapters. Also I will be having a quiz about me coming up. Prizes will be: a story finished, a one-shot of your choice, a new chapter, a virtual cookie/hug/meal/whatever, a guest appearance of you in one or more of my stories, or a new story in any category you like, or all of these if you get every question right.
