The plan to catch Jack the Ripper was this: Madame Red would be the bait this time (there's no way I'm letting Sebastian put a corset on me ever again) and we would wait until the killer came then rescue her and capture the thief. We set up the trap in a part of town where the killings were common. The first few nights, we saw nothing. However, the killer did finally show up on the fifth day of this.

The first thing Sebastian and I heard was a surprized gasp. I peeked out of hiding to see Madame Red at the mercy of her butler, Grell, who was holding a chainsaw. He had an eerie grin on his face, and his teeth had somehow become very pointy. "Grell!" said Madame Red when she had gotten over her shock. "Why are you doing this?"

Sebastian whispered in my ear, "He's not human, he's a grim reaper. I can't imagine what one of his kind is doing here."

"I want every handsome man to love me!" was his reply. "Anyone who gets in my way will be painted in that pretty colour we both love." Then, Grell let his hair down and ran a comb through it which somehow turned it red. "Once you are dead, I will disguise myself as you and have several men to myself!"

Sebastian and I left our hiding place. "So you're the one behind the murders," I said, then turned to Sebastian. "Sebastian, I order you to put an end to this."

Sebastian looked at me and smiled happily as he said, "Yes, my lord." Then, he attacked Grell.

"Oh Sebastian," said Grell, barely dodging Sebastian. "No, I will call you Bassy! So, Bassy, you do realize that your master is competition to me, right? He'll have to die!" I braced myself. Does he know? I thought.

He'd caught Sebastian off guard. "W-what?" he stammered. "How is he competition?"

"You only ever give him attention," said Grell. "I want you to only look at me, Bassy!"

The fight continued, and Sebastian hit Grell in the head as often as he could, (mainly because Grell hated it) but that wasn't very often considering he had to defend both me and Madame Red from Grell. The battle raged on for what seemed like forever. Neither of them tired, neither badly wounded until Sebastian managed to get the chainsaw away from Grell. Sebastian had finally gotten in a good position to kill Grell when Grell begged, "Wait, Bassy! I'll tell you who killed Ciel's parents!" Then, someone interfered, using a strange pole-like weapon.

"I hate to interrupt," said the man. "But I've come for a certain reaper. He's caused a lot of trouble."

"Reaper!?" Madame Red exclaimed, then fainted.

"Oh, Will!" said Grell. "I knew you'd come for me."

Will hit Grell with his weapon then said, "You have violated several rules, I believe you know what they are." Then he turned to Sebastian and grudgingly apologized for Grell's behavior (grudgingly because he knew what Sebastian was) then dragged Grell off for some sort of managed to get Madame Red home, but she was shocked when Sebastian explained everything to her. She promised to keep it a secret.

"He's not really a demon is he?" asked Madame Red. "I mean, I know you can tell these sort of things."

"No," I said. "He's not."

I did not sleep well that night. Even though Madame Red stayed at the manor, I couldn't help but worry about my poor aunt. I stayed up for hours, until Sebastian entered my room.

"Are you having trouble sleeping, my lord?" he asked.

I sat up and said, "I just don't feel tired."

"Do try to get some sleep sir," he said. "You have a busy schedule tomorrow."

"I don't think I can sleep right now."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"You could get me a sleeping pill."

"I don't think we have any, my lord."

"Nevermind, then. You will keep an eye on Madame Red, won't you?"

"Of course, young master." With that, Sebastian left my room to check up on my aunt. A few days later, after Madame Red had gone home, I received another letter from the queen…
