Dedicated to Bloody he'll 99 for alerting me I have this story that is overdue for an update! ^-^
Alice stood there sadly as Blood withdrew from the boy. It was the same boy who wanted to pet her snakes.
Don hissed.
"Blood's venom can make the target unconscious. It lasts for a good 3-5 hours. I like it cause then the boy won't be awake for his...operation..." Alice said to Don.
"Alice~" Rin's voice was heard as she appeared. "Good job!"
Len just nodded sadly. He always hated doing this. He rebelled against it and it led to the burns on his face. So he kept his mouth shut after that.
Alice also nodded as she helped the twins carry the boy to the back of a tent.
"Excellent job my children!" The ringmaster said as the children placed the boy in a cage. "Now that's done, let's head back for the final show!"
"Yes Ringmaster" The children said in union as they quickly headed towards the main tent.
...
The children made it just in time too. Luka was ready to perform. She was known as Circus Monster because of the song she sings. While Luka sings of abandonment, Miku sings about their story in the circus. Of course, no one believes it to be true, just an act.
The final act started and the singer started to sing. Miku was up next then they would perform a duet before the other children began their acts.
...
"Mouse catcher? Really young master? That's the best you can come up with?" Sebastian teased.
"The other servants are clearly not capable of it. It is the best option. When she is older, she can be a maid or something." Ciel said as he fought off a blush.
Snake didn't really care what his little sister did as long as she is safe and near him. Well safe as one can be as a Phantomhive servant.
"Darn, more snakes to share our meals with... says wordsworth" Snake said.
The trio sat back at their seats as music began to play.
Luka stood on stage. Her horns glisten in the spotlight as music began to play and she began the show.
...
Alice was prepping for her act as she summoned all her snakes. All 15 snakes were present as she began to dress the males in either top hats or bow ties. The female of the group, Vivaldi, wore a bright red bow around her neck.
She then turned to Don. "You'll also dress up." She stated as the tiny snake looked horrified. She gave him a tiny yellow bowtie. Don can only hope for his fellow comrades to never see him in such a state.
Alice's snakes only snickered at Don's reaction. They were used to their mistress's odd tendencis. Some of them liked being dressed up like Vivaldi while the rest tolerated it. They were glad it was only bowties and top hats and not actual clothes.
"There, you look cute Don." Alice said happily.
Don only stared at his master's sister. She would get along with Lady Elizabeth.
"Alice, do you know if you are going to be a tightrope walker or just performing with your snakes?" Meiko asked.
"I'm going to be a tightrope walker. My snakes will down below me dancing except for a few." Alice said using Vivaldi as her puppet this time.
"Ah okay then." Meiko leaned in and whispered, "Are we getting someone new?" It was taboo taking about it outloud.
Alice nodded ignoring the guilt she felt. Though she was fairly popular in the circus in ratings, she was loathed by some of the children. She was the one who knocked them out. She was the one who helped the ringmaster the most. She was his favorite- the demon's favorite. She brought them into this hell hole. But they all knew why she did it and couldn't blame her for it even though they wanted to. This is Dark woods circus, the place where you get acid thrown at you if you disobey. They all hated that punishment and tried their best to not receive it. So they did what they were told to. They rather die a peaceful death not a painful one.
"I see..." Meiko said.
Suddenly a small scream was heard.
The two girls looked at where they heard the scream.
Gumi had her hands over her mouth in shock.
There on the ground was one of the knife throwers. The oldest one in the group. It seemed Death has finally taken pity on him. There was a smile on his face as he can finally rest in peace.
The ringmaster glared at the smiling dead body. "Great, he was supposed to perform as the main act for the knife throwers!" He glared harder. "What are you brats waiting for?! You know what to do! Freeze him up so he'll be food for the blue beast!"
Children rushed to get the corpse of a fellow comrade to the freezer.
"Alice, Meiko, Gumi! Extend your act! You too twins!"
The children nodded.
The ring master's left.
"Guess we know what the new kid's job will be..." Meiko mutter.
...
The children were all present at the stage as they bowed. The circus was coming to a close. The audience clapped as they got out of their seats and headed out.
"Well that was something" Ciel said as they stood outside the tent.
The two children with the long legs waved them off.
"Certainly young master." Sebastian said.
A crying woman ran passed them. "E-excuse me." She said to the tall children as she tried to hold in her tears. "My s-son is lost! Can you please locate him!"
The children, Neru and Haku, glanced at each other. The ringmaster then appeared.
"What seems to be the problem?" He asked in a friendly voice.
The trio listened in.
"My son Daniel is lost. I haven't seen him since the break!" She broke down. "Please help me find him! I l-lost my husband! I can't lose my son too!" She cried harder.
"I'll do what I can. He might have wondered off in the forest. Or maybe he is also looking for you as well. I'll ask my children to look out for him."
"Thank you!" The woman cried out.
Ciel glanced at Alice who happened to pass by. She refused to make eye contact at them. Well now he has an idea on what happened to the child.
"Alice!" The ringmaster called out. She rushed to his side. "This woman lost her child. Help her find young Daniel."
She nodded.
The woman quickly began describing him only to stop as Alice shook her head.
"I need something of his. A scent is all I need." Alice said through Blood.
"O-Oh yes, um, this is his toy that I was holding for him. Will this do?" As she handed Alice a small bear, no doubt won from a booth of theirs.
Blood sniffed the toy and began entering the forest. Alice and the mother followed him.
Ciel narrowed his eyes. "Sebastian, follow them." He ordered.
"Yes my Lord." Sebastian said as he disappeared into the forest.
"My young Lord, don't you think I should have went? Says Wordsworth."
"No, I need you for another task. I need you to tell me exactly of your sister's disappearance. It sounds similar to another case. Also, send a few of your friends to spy on the circus. Then have them come back to the manor after an hour."
"Yes my Lord, says Emily" Snake said as Oscar, Wilde, and Bronte slipped out of his bag and into the circus. The performers and and customers will only think it is Alice's snakes...Hopefully. "Well the story is..."
...
Sebastian gracefully jumped from tree to tree. Like a flying rabbit. He scanned the area to find his coworker's sister.
"Is he nearby?" A woman's voice was heard.
"He gone in pretty deep." Alice said through Blood.
"Oh dear, Daniel! Where are you!? Mommy is nearby! Answer me!" She cried out.
Silence.
"Daniel!"
Silence.
"Are you sure he is nearby?" The woman questioned.
"If Blood says it is that way then it is that way." Alice replied. Blood hissed. Alice nodded.
"Madame, next time, don't always say you are the only one left in your family..." Alice said sadly as she halted in her steps.
"Excuse me?"
"That way, the ringmaster will not know you have no one to look for you."
The woman backed away from the girl in fright. Sebastian looked at the scene in slight interest.
"I'm sorry." Alice called out, "Ace."
Suddenly, a red and brown snake flashed around the woman's neck and bit her.
The woman screamed before collapsing to the ground.
"Ace's venom is highly toxic. One bite equals death. No antidote because it works too fast." Alice said to Don as she petted him.
Alice sighed sadly. She then sent Blood to go look for help. She was too weak to carry an adult body by herself.
Sebastian soon left, it was time to report to the young lord. Oh, as well as to prepare his dinner. So much to do.
