Chapter 2: His Sister, A Bleeding Artist
I walked up behind Ciel. He was calmly sitting at his desk doing paperwork. I grabbed his shoulders and he jumped. I pouted and said, "Damn, you were supposed to scream out in fear, little brother." I hugged him from behind, laying the back of his head against my chest. I brushed my hand on his cheek. "You're just no fun anymore, are you," I whispered in his left ear. I peered around to look at his face and his cheeks were a light pink.
"Things have changed, Serene. We all have to learn to mature," he said before clearing his throat.
I pulled back and put my hands on my hips. "I have matured a lot over the years! I just know how to have fun!" I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Yes, you seem very mature, Serene," Sebastian whispered from behind me.
I quickly jumped and turned around to glare at him. "Yes, I am. Thank you for noticing, Sebastian," I said as calmly as I could. I forcefully peeled my eyes away from him and looked back at Ciel. "Come on, Ciel, when was the last time you went off and had fun?" I asked him.
He gave me the cold shoulder. "Sebastian, get the carriage ready. It's time to leave."
Sebastian nodded and walked out of the room.
I looked over to Ciel who was getting up out of his chair. "Where are you going?" I asked.
His answer was, "Come with us to find out."
I tensed up when we arrived. "Here? Why here?" We were at Undertaker's shop. I was scared.
Ciel glanced at me and asked, "Have you been here before?"
I nodded.
We walked in. Undertaker slowly slid out of one of the coffins. He had a smile on of course. He wagged his eyebrows, I couldn't see but I could tell, at me and said, "Why, Serene, my malevolent friend. How good it is to see you again. How are you taking the previous passing?"
Sebastian and Ciel turned their attention to me. I shrugged off their gazes. "I'm doing rather well, Sogiya-sama," I said with a smirk.
Ciel gave me a questioning look. "Um...Serene, how is it that you know him?" he asked me.
"Well, you see, Ciel, I have attended multiple funerals in my lifetime, and he and I are some sort of business partners in a way. Well, we haven't really done business with each other until about three years ago. The same time I started doing business with Grell," I explained, putting the slightest of emphasis on the word business.
Ciel just turned his head toward Undertaker.
Sebastian held his gaze on me. "So why is it you were so upset to be here?" he asked me.
"Simple, he creeps me the fuck out," I stated before scooting behind him like a scared child.
Undertaker only chuckled and nibbled on a dog treat.
His chuckle sent cold shivers down my spine. I wrapped my fingers on the back of Sebastian's black coat and squeezed.
"I'm sure you know why we are here," Ciel said in a calm voice. How could anyone be calm when in the same room as this man?
Undertaker nodded. "And I'm sure you remember my price."
Sebastian walked forward to Undertaker, causing my to let go of him immediately. He whispered something into Undertaker's ear, causing him to burst into a loud cackle. It was the first time I ever witnessed him do so.
I tapped Sebastian on the shoulder. "How did you do that?" I asked.
He only smirked at me and said, "Let's just say I am very skilled in things other than just being an average butler."
A part of me wanted to ask about some of his other skills in a seductive manner but another part of me knew how to shut the hell up. I only nodded in response. I felt my face heat up a bit at just the thought, though. I turned away from him and back up a few steps.
Ciel spoke up just then. "I was curious if you knew anything about the 'Bleeding Artist.' It seems as though another victim has been discovered. It was one of Her Majesty's guards."
I turned to Ciel. "Excuse me, but who is the 'Bleeding Artist?'" I asked curiously. I have yet to hear of this.
Ciel looked at me as though I was insane. "You mean, you haven't heard of the 'Bleeding Artist?' The 'Bleeding Artist' is a murderer who has been active for the passed three years. This murderer has been tearing apart its victims with a rusty machete and painting images in their blood on the murder site. It literally drains all the blood out of the vitims' bodies just to paint a pretty picture. It's just sickening."
My face froze but then relaxed.
Sebastian, now behind me for some reason, cleared his throat and said, "Didn't a witness report the murderer to having a womanly fatigue and wearing a dress? So it must clearly be a woman."
All color left my face. I looked up at Sebastian. Then looked back over to Undertaker and Ciel.
Undertaker smiled at me and said, "Well I cannot tell you who it is but this person doesn't work alone. She has received help from a male companion. And I'm sure that she does more than paint with the blood she collects because she collects more than enough blood for her paintings."
Ciel nodded his head. He turned to Sebastian. "Sebastian, make a list of the victims and things they may have in common with each other."
Sebastian bent over on one knee, which made me feel akward because I was infront of him, and said, "Yes, My Lord." And then he vanished.
I had to blink a couple of times before I comprehended this. I walked out of the shop with Ciel to see Sebastian awaitign us at the carriage. I was a bit weirded out.
