-Flashback-
"-tell me about what you found out about Christabel, I command you."

The raven's once emotionless expression began to twist and change, and he bowed lowly with respect, a hand over his heart as his lips were tugged up high, but not high enough to allow Ciel spot it.

"Yes, my lord."

-End of Flashback-

Christabel's Pov
I continued to stare out at the wilderness blankly, not bothering myself to take in the green scenery and I sighed. Hopefully, this ride would last for only a tiny short while. My head is aching from the consent jerks and shakes being created because of the rocks on the dirt path.

Get the rubbish thrown properly in the city dump, then go to a tea store to buy good quality Earl Grey tea leaves. Humm, these tasks should probably take up about an hour of my time. Lucky me I guess...

I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the glass window as I continued to feel the dizziness to the extent of having the urge to puke all my breakfast out. Wait a minute... Did I even take breakfast today in the first place? Now I cannot even think straight! Yay...

I had my eyes closed for a very long time, and I wanted to get up as I began to feel the sore at my muscle. Must be my sitting position which caused the sore. I fished out the stop watch, and noticed that 45 minutes have already past. My eyes shut closed for a little while, and they immediately snapped opened the moment the carriage halt.

I cheered inwardly as I practically scrambled to climb out of the carriage. I know I am normally car-sick, but I never knew I was carriage-sick as well! Even though this is the third time I have seated in a carriage, this is the first time I feel so unwell sitting in here!

Humm... Let's see. The very first time I actually sat in a carriage was when I was knock out cold and was found by Eliza- I mean Lizzy. Definitely I cannot feel carriage-sick, AKA motion sick when I am unconscious, right? The second time is when I was brought to the Phantomhive's estate... Oh man, that Sebastian really knows how to get other people's attention pretty well huh? I didn't even have the time to just rest my eyes for a second or two by closing them for a little while! Flick, flick, flick... Thinking about it makes my forehead hurt. rubs forehead Ugh, maybe I should just stop thinking.

"Thank you! Will you be here to bring me back later on?" I questioned the carriage driver and he merely gave me a nod, reassuring me that he would be there when I am finished with my tasks.

I bowed once more out of due respect as the carriage rod off to somewhere unknown to me and I took in a deep breath, letting it out loudly like how a sigh would sound like before I carried the trash bags to the city dump.
Luckily, the city dump was very located at an easily spotted area and I managed to get rid of the dump pretty quickly in no time.

"Now, to the city! Osu!" I bellowed out to myself, smiling, as I dust my hands together while walking towards the city.

~.~.~.~
Upon arriving there, I looked around the crowded town. A couple of people walking around with old-fashion clothing and some carriages passing by. Huh, how normal...
I began walking around, clenching the bag of coins tightly while I began wondering towards the tea leaves sto-
Wait a minute...

Where was the tea leaves store again? Did I even ask Sebastian where it was in the first place?!
Humm... No, I... Did not.

...

"WHAT IN THE HELL HOLE WORLD AM I DOING?! NO WONDER HE WAS GIVING MEH THAT CREEPY GRIN BEFORE MY DEPARTURE! Holy crap..." I screamed my lungs out, eyes all widened in fury and nose flaring, looking like I was a mad girl out of control. That itself earned me shocked gasps and deadly glares which made me feel self-conscious and I mumbled at the last part.

I held in my breath, running towards a more deserted area as I let out a loud and annoyed grumble, muttering curses under my breath as I feel myself calm down a bit from venting my anger.

"Stupid old me... Why didn't I notice the change in Sebastian's voice when I left? Maybe he was hinting me or something but I am so stupid that I only realise it now!"

I huffed and sighed. No point getting all worked up now, since I don't really have time to spare now that I noticed I did not know where the tea leaves store was. I continued walking around aimlessly as I tried my hardest to find the store, but all my efforts were flushed down the toilet bowl.
I sighed out loudly, before I finally gave into my pride as I wondered around in search of some random people around the area, hoping that they would be kind enough to tell me where that damn store is located at.
Instead of finding people however, I found myself at a somehow quietly eerie location.

Great! Now I am not just unaware of where the tea leaves store is located at, I have also strayed away from the main town, being lost at some abandoned-looking city!

There were practically nobody there, and the sky itself looked as though it darkened together with that street I am at. There were not many stores around, and I managed to find some, only to walk away disappointed because they were closed.
I cursed, feeling like a dork.
Who the hell would actually only wait till they are soo lost before they would seek for help? Well I do, and now all this shit id happening to me! Holy barney! I think this will take longer than expected...

Traveling around for a little while longer when my determination was still burning, I hoped to find a store, any store, before that determination burn off and scotch my pride.
The moment which felt like hours ended when my observing orbs found a store with little lighting emitting below the entrance door.

Hell yeah! Now, all I have to do is: walk in, greet and ask where the tea store is, thank the dude inside before running towards the direction of the tea leaves store. Heck yeah! Me and my brilliant idea huh?

I looked towards it happily. Oh, it might have an eerie look, because of being decorated with dark ornaments plus skulls but who cares? Anything is fine to me! Even if it means that I would have to murder the person into telling me the location of the dear tea leaves store. After all, I don't think that person will be as scary, bastardly, creepy, perfectionist and... *cough* Handsome *Cough* as Sebastian huh.
Even if that was the case, the dude inside wouldn't punish me like how Seb cakes will if I get back, empty-handed. Just the thought... Is horrifying enough for me... Shivers

I practically skipped my way towards the darkly painted store, too happy to notice that there was some weird aura around it but I didn't have the time to care. I have to get back as soon as I can!
I hopped in front of the door, grinning like a person who just won lottery, but in my case, found someone to ask direction for.
How bad can it be anyways? It's not like the person will actually be like a ghost or some weird dude which will force me to sit on something extraordinary... Like a... Aha! A coffin, right? It would be soo disrespectful if that person ask me to do that. Hell, I would never do it anyways!
My mother always tells me that if I actually have my butt come onto contact with a coffin, someone precious to me will die or something when I am sleeping... Okay, it still creeps me out even though this was told to me when I was 5, but I do NOT wanna try such a stunt.
Arh... I guess my mum successfully scarred me for that mentally.
[A/N: hehe :B It's made up; the coffin sitting thingy XD]

Here goes nothing! Onwards, Chirstabel and let your bravery be rewarded with directions given!

After having that thought running and scattering inside my head, I took in a deep breath, before letting it out whole as I pushed the glass stained door open, not feeling any stress settling on my shoulder, that is, until I stepped into the area with all that black cloth deco and dimmed lights. The bell door clinked when I pushed the door opened, and that made everything creepier than how it is supposed to be.

It felt like death itself inside. The decorations were pretty much dead-looking too, though I have to admit that it was pretty cool. I kept looking around, trying my best to not look at the coffins which lied around on the floor messily, trying my best to find where the shopkeeper was at.

I prayed hard inwardly, hoping that the person would not be as creep as his shop because I might literally have fits if he jumps out all so suddenly or crawl out from some corner of the place.

I sweat rolled off my head and it slowly ran down my neck. Oh no, it was not out of heat, but out of fear.
What if I accidentally sit on a coffin here? There is a very huge possibility that I will, and hell no would I want my family to die when my sleep! Or Allios for that matter!

"Erm... Excuse me! Is there, anyone here?" I called out as I cupped my fingers around my mouth, trying to make my voice louder by doing so.

"Kukukukuku... I am right here~" A very muffled voice could be heard, and it sounded quite cricky and a little deep in my opinion.

I froze when the scratchy voice reached my ears and I jerkily turned my head around me while praying.
When I finally stopped at the source of the voice, I literally cringed. Horror, terror, confusion, fear and disbelieve was what flashed past me as I continued to look at the object, feeling kind of sceptical yet fearful and the same time.

What was I staring at? Good question. Who would have thought that something which I actually mentioned outside at ease would be in here, having someone inside it who is always supposingly dead, and yet the person could talk?! What the hell is with this era? A talking dead person in a coffin? Screw the world!

Finished! Finally! For heaven's sake! Well, for your sake to say the truth ;)
