Hey Guys! I'm so so so so so sorry! I've just been really lazy with this and have been thinking of not continuing this story due to this. But I still do enjoy this story and the idea of it. So I decided to give you all a sneak peek to the upcoming chapter! Well here you go and please tell me what you think!
We left the Undertaker with some useful knowledge and made our way back to the townhouse. Grell asked if he could drive to which I said no. I didn't want the suicidal imbecile to drive and possibly get us lost. Even so, my mind wasn't completely focused. I was still thinking back to what the Undertaker said.
"It's good to see you again old friend". I don't think we ever met. And yet he seemed familiar to me. Maybe we did meet and if so why would I be friends with someone like him. It's not that he seems like a bad person, but he seems...very strange. Before I can think any further, I thought I heard the door open.
"But we're moving, it shouldn't be open". Then I heard Grell gasped, and to this I turned to see what he saw. And to my surprise I was Sebastian about to jump out of the door.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"I do hope that you can guide them home safely". I was still a bit stunned by his current situation, but then nodded to him. With that, he jumped off. I could hear the others; besides Ciel, gasp seeing this. I sighed a bit, knowing I should have expected this.
After an hour, we finally arrived back to the townhouse. We got lost a few times due to Grell's driving. Now I have another reason to not let Grell drive the carriage. Once I let them out, I went to the townhouse door to open it. However when I went to it, it started to open.
"Welcome back, everyone." Sebastian said when the door open "I have awaited your return. Your afternoon tea is ready in the drawing-room." Lau, Grell and Madam Red were shocked to see Sebastian back so quickly.
"Hold on!" Madame Red exclaimed "How are you here?!"
"I finished up that little errand, so I made my way home to inform you." Sebastian said with a closed-eyed smile.
"You made the suspect list already?"
"Well, I made a list of names based on our criteria, contacted them, and asked the relevant questions." Sebastian said, showing multiple rolled up lists.
"Come now Sebastian" Madam Red said "That's impossible, even for you."
Oh no here it comes…
With that said, Sebastian then read off the names and alibis that were crossed of as Madame Red stood there, dumbstruck. He had narrowed down the list to one suspect, The Viscount Druitt. He's a noble of high society, he's certified to become a doctor but never went into practice and there were rumors about him practicing black magic.
Well sounds good enough for me…

It was late at night as carriages approached a lite manor. There was a ball tonight and it was held by none other by the Viscount himself. Ciel had devised a plan to capture the Viscount tonight. Now to make this plan work, Madam Red had suggested that we or more so Ciel and Sebastian, should be in disguised. And I have to admit, Ciel's is rather adorable. As we all entered the main dance hall, Madam Red recapped out "roles"
"Alright, now remember. Lau, will act as my lover, Ciel will be my niece visiting from the country, Sebastian will be his tutor and Grell and Ben… you're as you are."
Aww I wanted to be something cool.
"And why do I have to act as your niece?!" Ciel said as he wore his brightly pink dress and hair extensions.
"Because, dear. I always wanted a girl!" Madame Red explained happily.
Really?
"You're kidding me!?" Ciel shouted.
"You don't want them to know you are a Phantomhive, now do you?" she asked him. "Besides, I heard Lord Druitt has an eye for any pretty little thing in a skirt, and we do want to catch his eye, right?"
"By any means necessary," Sebastian remarked with a smirk "You do remember saying that, do you not sir?" Ciel just gave him a slight glare and then we all dispersed. I sort of went by myself since Ciel was with Sebastian and Lau and Grell were with Madam Red. As I ventured on my one, I decided to keep an eye out for the Viscount. The only problem was I had no idea what the hell he even looked like.
Well, just think handsome, creeper who may or may not be a killer…
Before I could finish my thought, I heard an all too familiar voice.
"Oh that dress is so adorable!" I quickly glanced and paled when I saw Lady Elizabeth close by. "I adore all the dresses here!" Elizabeth said announced loudly. "They're all lovely!" This isn't good. If Elizabeth saw Ciel here his reputation would be ruined.
But maybe she won't see him. I-I mean what are the odds at a party with dozens of people?
"Oh! You in the pink! Your dress so beautiful."
Fuck…. I saw that Sebastian and Ciel noticed Lizzy too and tried to avoid her the best they could. I got to help… I decided to head to Lizzy and hope for the best. I gently grabbed her arm making her jump a bit. She relaxed when she realized it was me.
"Oh Ben I didn't know it was you. Is Ciel here too!", she said excitement in her eyes.
"Um, unfortunately not My Lady", I lied making her pout a bit, "he actually gave me his invitation for this lovely party. He thought that I deserved it after working very hard". This caused Lizzy to smile.
"Oh thats very sweet of him" she said "it would have been nice if he did come though. I would have liked to dance with him". Aww that's sweet. Even though Lizzy can be annoying from time to time, she really is a good kid.
