"Isn't that Doll's horse?" Dagger gasped in realization.

"Hey! That is!" Peter shouted.

"But where's Doll?" Wendy asked worriedly as she looked around.

"Are you guys just going to ignore that this horse is EATING MY SHIRT?!" Ciel yelled.

Snake calmly walked over and pull Ciel out as though he was a doll and puts him on the ground.

Ciel sighs as he could feel some wind on his back through the torn shirt, which the horse ate.

"This hole is pretty big..." Ciel murmured as he could press his entire hand onto his back through the hole.

"'The horse was probably hungry,' says Emily," Snake took off his blazer and puts it around Ciel's shoulders, that way Ciel didn't get cold.

Ciel held the front of the blazer so it didn't fall off of his shoulders.

He then looked up to Snake as the others ran over to examine the horse.

"You... Why are you helping me?" Ciel asked with a hint of suspicion in his voice.

"... I'm your footman," Snake answered.

Ciel scrunched his eyebrows together. When did he hire him?

Emily slithered out of the sleeve of the blazer and made it's way onto Ciel's shoulder.

He cringed to suppress a scream from coming out of his mouth.

"'Don't worry, I'm as poisonous as the others!" says Emily," Snake said as Emily hissed.

"That still means you're poisonous!" Ciel jolted.

"Doll! Doll?!" Dagger yelled in different directions.

"Does 'ee remember what happened to Doll before 'ee -er- blacked out?" Joker asked.

"Well, before we went into the mansion, we had split up, uh, then..." Peter bit the bottom of his lip, trying his best to remember where Doll had went.

"She rode her horse to go warn you about something, um, what was it about again...?" Wendy couldn't quite piece together what had happened either.

"This is bad, if she's hurt to the point that she can't move or speak...!" Dagger panicked.

"Aaaaaahhhh we need to search the forest!" Wendy shouted.

The horse neighed in response before they could run around the forest.

"What is it?" Peter turned to the horse.

The horse bit the back of Peter's shirt and lifted him up by it.

"Wh-What the?!" Peter yelled.

The horse then ran off with Peter back to the circus.

"W-Wait!" Wendy chased after the horse to get back Peter.

. . .

"Should we go on without them?" Dagger sweated.

"It's getting pretty late though," Joker said as he saw the sky darkening.

~GROWL~

Everyone turned to the source of the sound... which was Ciel's stomach.

The other three blinked a few times to make sure they were hearing right (not like blinking will help with hearing).

Joker chuckled making Ciel blush a bit.

"Seems like someone's hungry!" Dagger grinned.

"Sh-Shut up!" Ciel yelled.

"'I am partially hungry too,' says Dan," Snake said with a little snake poking out of his hair.

"Alright! Let's head back and make 'ee some dinner," Joker smiled.


"Eh?!" Finny, Mey-Rin and Bard shouted in unison.

"Like. I. Said. Before." Sebastian emphasized each word while quietly yet somehow forcefully closed the door to Elizabeth's room, who had come over during the evening to play and is now currently sleeping.

The three immediately shut their mouths for 1) remembering that she was asleep, 2) Elizabeth would FREAK OUT so badly if she found out, and 3) Sebastian is practically threatening them.

"Young master is somewhere, but I am unsure where," Sebastian said.

"But can't you usually find Ciel?" Finny asked worriedly.

Sebastian sighs. Usually he can track him down if the seal on Ciel's eyes was visible but Ciel didn't take off his eye patch for the entire day (not even when the others forced him into his circus outfit- let me rephrase that- he couldn't with them throwing him into all sorts of problems).

So his plans were either to wait until Ciel takes off his eye patch or do a search party in the morning.

"We will try a search party in the morning," Sebastian said, thinking that Ciel might be in some ridiculous situation he got himself caught into again that might not let him do as he wants.

"By the way, where is Snake?" Sebastian asked.

"Ah," the three blinked a few times in a dumbfounded way. They then quietly freaked out, realizing they had no idea where Snake had gone, and started to run around in circles like a chicken who's head has been cut off (which Sebastian thought of taking it literally).

Sebastian face-palmed as he deeply sighed with Tanaka in the back round, calmly sipping his tea and laughing like he usually does.

At times like this, he really needed cats roaming around the mansion.
