The Phantomhive Girl
Chapter 10: Jack the Ripper Case Part 2
In the Phantomhive Townhouse...
Celine sat down on the sofa to check the names of the prostitutes that have been murdered by Jack the Ripper in a piece of paper before looking at Ciel.
On the bluenette's lap was a book called 'Utopia' by Thomas More.
"Ciel, who do you think this Jack the Ripper person could be?"Celine asked."Since it wasn't the Viscount Druitt."
Ciel lowered down the newspaper and sighed.
"There are 4.5 million people in London alone, Celine."Ciel commented."During the seasonal party period, there'd be even more. If we relax, the requirements the pool of people increases even more."
Celine looked down at the paper she had written on as Madam Red walked forward with a smile on her face.
"You're still working?"Madam Red asked with a smile and took out a chess set box. "Want to relax a bit and play this? Sometimes you don't need to work so hard."
"International chess, huh?"Ciel said lightly."It brings back memories."
"Is that so?"Madam Red remarked."Because Sebastian was coming, I got this out from the attic. Come! Come and take a break!"
Ciel went to sit with Madam Red and the red haired woman looked at Grell.
"Grell, please prepare some tea!"Madam Red ordered.
Grell came forward with a small wooden tray that contained a tea kettle and three cups in it.
"It's already late, so I've prepared herb tea made from wild roses."Grell declared.
Celine smiled a bit at the chess set since she remembered it was one of the games that she used to like to play with Ciel when they were younger and...before hell broke loose on that fateful day.
Ciel, Celine and Madam Red picked up their cups of tea to each take a sip, only for disgusted looks to appear on their faces.
"THIS TASTES BAD!"Madam Red shouted angrily and glared at Grell."Why is this herbal tea salty?! And you call yourself a butler?!"
"Even so I am still a butler!"Grell panicked with a nervous smile."I am so sorry!"
Grell quickly left the room as Madam Red sighed with a frustrated look on her face while Celine covered her mouth to giggle.
"Why not just leave the case all to Sebastian, dear?"Madam Red suggested."Since he's so capable, you should just make him do the investigation of the Viscount."
Ciel picked up his knight piece and showed it to his aunt.
"This is my power, hands and legs."Ciel exclaimed."Sebastian is merely one of my chess pieces. It is not possible to move the chess piece without me, the person behind it. If I won using a free moving piece that would not to be my credit."
Celine watched as Ciel took one of their aunt's pawn pieces.
"He took another one."Celine thought in amusement.
"But the difference between Sebastian and chess pieces is that without my command, he will not make a move."Ciel admitted."The one who gives the order will always be the master. He can single handley take down all the other knights. Just like that."
Ciel used his knight piece to knock over Madam Red's queen chess piece causing her to become stunned.
"Doing that is against the rules."Madam Red retorted.
"That's right."Ciel agreed."There will be knights that break the rules and even chess pieces that betray him. Unfortunately, in reality there is no situation where one can win merely by following the rules. In order to maintain balance in this game, I too must break the rules in order to win, no? If we in England were to be less attentive, we would be finished."
Celine moved her glance away from the chess game to look outside the window as thunder crackled and rain splashed outside the manor.
It wasn't the kind of weather anyone could go out in.
It was rain that meant business and currently its business was to provide the survival of every living organism from plants to animals to humans.
It was usually the sign when Mother Nature was angry or something like that.
The bluenette simply shook her head and then opened her book to read it.
"You should apart from being the guard dog of the darker side of society have another way of living."Madam Red suggested."My sister, your mother would've wanted that too. And yet after their deaths, you returned to be the queen's guard dog. Is it because you're trying to avenge your parents murders?"
An intense silence fills the room as Celine glanced to look at her older brother.
"The need for revenge is a funny thing."Ciel admitted."It won't bring back the dead, nor will it being them happiness. I never thought of taking revenge. I did not do this for the name of the Phantomhive family. I did it for myself. I want those who betrayed the Phantomhive family to experience the same level of pain and humiliation that me and my sister suffered."
Celine looked at the book in her hands, thinking about her brother's words in her mind.
"Ciel loved Mama and Papa as much as I did."Celine thought in a firm tone. "He does want to avenge them, but just doesn't want people to see his weak."
A sad smile formed on Madam Red's face as she rose up from her seat to go
"I still remember when you and Celine were born, though it seems to long ago."Madam Red admitted. "At the time I was still a new nurse and I was just panicking back then. You were both so tiny and fragile. I remember thinking, 'no matter what, I have to protect them'. You know I was never able to have children. But there was you and Celine. I've come to think of you two as my own son and daughter."
Madam Red placed a hand on Ciel's hair.
"Which it is why I wish you would quit this."Madam Red finished.
Ciel moved his aunt's hand away with a frown.
"This is a task I've freely chosen, it's still my choice to make and no one else's."Ciel declared firmly. "I don't regret my decision and I won't be coddled. By anyone."
Celine noticed the pieces of the chess board causing her to look at her aunt.
"Auntie. That is checkmate."Celine spoke up kindly."Ciel won again."
"That makes a consecutive 46 loses."Madam Red responded and smirked."You and Ciel were always good at chess. But I won't lose next time."
Celine nodded and covered her mouth to yawn gently.
"I'm going to bed."Celine admitted with a tired smile as she stood up."Goodnight, Auntie Red."
"It's time for me and Celine to retire."Ciel responded with a small smile."I had a happy time playing with you, Madam Red."
Celine and Ciel both kissed their aunt's cheeks before they both began leaving the room when Grell showed up.
Madam Red frowned at Ciel's behaviour as Sebastian escorted her out of the Townhouse.
"Why must that boy bear that kind of pain and coldness at such a young age?"Madam Red questioned."I don't know how Celine is able to manage that coming from her own brother."
"The young master is the type of person who will work tirelessly towards something once he has made his mind up and the young mistress does anything she can to help him."Sebastian explained."Even if the path he chooses is long and dark...or even cold and merciless. And this is why I will remain beside the young master to serve him and her."
"I guess even if we wanted to stop him, it would be useless."Madam Red commented and looked at Sebastian."Sebastian. Promise me, may you'll never leave his side. This is a dangerous world for children, make sure he or Celine don't lose their way."
Sebastian was surprised by the woman's words but then smiled and goes to one knee.
"Fear not."Sebastian responded with a smile. "I swear, I shall stay by their side until the very end."
Then Madam Red left the room with Grell following after her.
"My lady?"Grell asked.
Lightning crackled in the sky and Madam Red's eyes fall into an soulless state.
Celine went to sleep in Ciel's room since she was having hard time sleeping due to the sound of the heavy rain and thunderstorms going on outside.
The Lady of Phantomhive glanced at her older brother, who was awake as well.
"Ciel?"Celine asked.
"Yes, Celine?"Ciel spoke up."What is it?"
"Am I one of your pawns?"Celine questioned."Tell me the truth. I won't be offended."
"No, you're not a pawn."Ciel responded."Your my sister. That will never change."
"Okay."Celine said with a small smile."And you will always be my brother no matter what."
Ciel fell silent at Celine's words.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door causing Ciel and Celine to glance at it.
"Well then?"Ciel asked.
"I've considered various possibilities."Sebastian declared as he checked his papers. "But it seems apart from the Viscount, no one else could have been involved."
"Yesterday's murder, the Viscount didn't do it."Ciel commented.
"Exactly."Sebastian agreed."None of the people in his mansion could have done it either."
"I guess that means we have to change the conditions of the investigation."Celine suggested."But it's very strange that the Ripper could carry out a murder that quickly."
"Indeed."Ciel replied. "Anyway tomorrow we'll start."
Suddenly, Ciel's eyes widen and he glanced at Sebastian.
"Sebastian, you did it."Ciel accused.
Celine shook her head.
"It can't be Sebastian, Ciel."Celine responded in confusion."He was always in the party while you were with the Viscount."
"Lady Celine is right, my lord."Sebastian declared."I told you, I never lie. Now involved in medicine. Ties to secret societies or black magic. Lacking alibis the nights the bodies were found. The only human who fits our criteria is the Viscount Druitt."
"It is true that you did not lie to me, however..."Ciel started and snatched away Sebastian's papers causing them to fell on the floor. "Your investigation is this cheap joke?!"
"Oh dear, are you taking it out on me?"Sebastian chuckled lightly and smirked. "Because you made the order."
"I know that!"Ciel snapped. "Shut up!"
Sebastian bent down to pick up the papers as Celine took out a paper insider her book that contained clues about the murdered prostitutes and gave it to Ciel.
"Ciel, I have investigated the murdered prostitutes and I have learned that they have something else in common beside their dirty activities."Celine explained."And I have a strong feeling who is the next target."
Ciel checked his sister's paper as Celine glanced at Sebastian.
"Sebastian...is there a possibility that Jack the Ripper could not be a human at all?"Celine asked with a nervous look.
"Perhaps, my lady."Sebastian agreed and placed his hand on his chin."I believe the fact that someone like him exists is a surprising thing itself."
Both Ciel and Celine looked at Sebastian.
"Surprising?"Celine repeated.
"What kind of person?"Ciel questioned.
Sebastian smirked. "He is..."
Ciel, Celine and Sebastian were standing outside, where both of the twins were in pauper's clothes to be in disguise.
They were on guard, waiting for the arrival of Jack the Ripper.
Ciel wore a white shirt under a light brown waistcoat with the second garment matching his pants that had suspenders hanging from his hips and a white patch on the left knee, a brown-green baker's cap, a string tie and a medical eye-patch to cover his left eye.
Celine wore a light brown formal vest with a pale yellow long sleeved collared shirt, cream coloured long skirt and brown heels. Her bluish grey hair was tied in a ponytail with a teal ribbon on it.
Sebastian wore his usual black trench coat while standing near the Phantomhive twins.
"He'll show if we steak out this place right?"Ciel asked.
"Yes, big brother."Celine replied."This is where the murderer's next target lives."
"It's true that apart from missing their internal organs, they also have something in common like you said."Ciel commented.
"That is the only clue I got in my investigation."Celine explained."But that doesn't explain why he had to go around killing them."
"What's more is that-"Ciel started.
"So soft."Sebastian sighed. "Ahh...so soft."
Ciel and Celine turn to Sebastian upon hearing his mutters and form annoyed expressions when they see him engrossed in giving attention to an alley cat.
"Are you even listening to what we're saying?!"Ciel snapped in an irritated tone.
"Oh. I apologise, sir."Sebastian apologised as he held the cat in a loving embrace."But she's so beautiful and soft."
Celine sweat dropped since she found it weird that Sebastian was a man that loved cats a lot.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
A bloodcurdling scream echoed in the area which caused Ciel, Celine and Sebastian snap their heads in the direction straight to the tenement door of Mary's apartment.
"How could somebody have gotten past us?!"Ciel demanded.
"I don't know!"Celine shouted worriedly and paled."Unless he-"
"Let's go, sir and miss."Sebastian insisted.
Ciel and Celia ran down the alleyway and headed to the other door...only for a small amount of blood to splash in front of them.
Sebastian came forward quickly before covering the siblings' visions with his gloved hands.
Inside the apartment was the ruined body of the dead prostitute as a figure covered in blood emerged out.
"Come away."Sebastian ordered with a smirk."You've made quite a bloody mess of things in there, Jack the Ripper or rather...Grell Sutcliff."
The bloodied figure slowly stepped into view and revealed himself to be Grell.
"No. No. You're wrong."Grell lied innocently."I-I heard the scream and rushed to help, but..."
"You can drop the innocent act, Grell."Sebastian replied."It's over. You this is actually the first time I've met someone like you in the human world. You played the role of helpless butler well. Your act had almost everybody completely fooled."
Grell looked down and then looked up revealing a sudden creepy toothy grin that had grew on his bloodied face.
"You, you think so? How, kind."Grell sneered as he changed into his true form."That's great to hear, after all I am an actress. And quite a good one at that. Of course, you're not really Sebastian either, are you?"
"Sebastian is the name my master gave me."Sebastian declared. "So that is who I am, for now."
Celine slowly swallowed her saliva, but remained calm since she didn't want panic to wash over her.
"Ahh. You're playing the faithful dog. Well you're handsome enough to get away with it."Grell admitted as he placed on his red glasses. "Anyway, here we are Sebastian. No, I'll call you, bassy. The Burnett butler, Grell Sutcliff. What do you say, let's get along. "
Grell blows a kiss to Sebastian, making the butler shudder in disgust.
"Ah, it's so nice to talk to you in my true form."Grell stated."I admit, I was surprised when I first met you, I've never seen a demon playing a butler."
"I could say the same about you."Sebastian answered."I never thought I would find one of your kind playing a butler either. You're suppose to be in an intermediary between man and god. A Grim Reaper. Why would a divine being such as you pretend to be a servant?"
"Why indeed."Grell replied with a grin."For now, lets say it was out of love for a certain woman."
Both Ciel and Celina tensed up at hearing Grell's words.
"That woman would be?"Sebastian questioned.
"You don't really need to ask, do you?"A familiar female voice asked.
Ciel and Celine removed Sebastian's hands from their faces to see Madam Red appearing next to Grell.
"Madam."Ciel replied softly.
"No."Celine whispered in shock. "Auntie. Not you..."
"Well, I hadn't counted on this."Madam Red stated."I didn't think anyone would be able to tell who Grell truly is."
"Naturally, you were on the suspect list from the very beginning."Ciel declared. "But all of your alibis seemed flawless."
"You mean you actually suspected your own aunt?"Madam Red asked.
"I was looking for a murderer."Ciel explained."Degree of relation to me did not matter. None of the humans on the suspect list could have been responsible for all the murders; but if one of them had an inhuman accompanist that would change the game completely. It had to be someone who could enter and leave a room without being noticed. Someone who could travel from the Viscount's home to the East End instantaneously. In the end, you two were the only ones who could be Jack the Ripper. You, Madam Red, and Grell Sutcliff."
"I began to look into what else the victims had in common beside prostitution and then I noticed they'd all undergone a certain surgery at the hospital where you work."Celine declared and unfolded the paper she showed to Ciel previously. "I made a list of all the patients and the only one who was still alive was a woman by the name of Mary Kelly. We knew if you waited around here, you would come her eventually. But...we were too late."
"My darling nephew and niece."Madam Red responded."How unfortunate this turned out to be. If both of you had let it go, we could have played chess and go to the opera again. But now..."
A raged look grew on Madam Red's face.
"YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING!"Madam Red screamed in rage.
Grell activated his chainsaw abs rushed forward to kill Ciel and Celine, only for Sebastian to stop the weapon with his hands.
"What is that?"Ciel asked.
"Grim Reapers use tools for harvesting souls."Sebastian responded. "That is his reaper scythe."
This caused Grell to become offended and complain.
"Don't you dare call it that! This is so much more than a scythe, I worked very hard to customise it!"Grell retorted."This is a special death scythe of my own design. It can hack anyone into tiny pieces! I've been far too well behaved. I'm getting out of shape, I would love to exercise my skills. So, shall, we, play?"
Sebastian's eyebrow twitched as he looked at Grell bluntly.
"Perhaps you could be a bit more respectful of my position."Sebastian declared. "I'm on duty after all."
"What a stoic man you are!"Grell flirted excitedly. "That makes you even more irresistible!"
Ciel sweat dropped while Celine shivered in disgust at Grell's behaviour.
"You know, red is my favourite colour."Grell stated as he held his death scythe. "It's perfect for hair, for cloths, for lipstick. So, I painted all those women with pretty pretty red blood. So Bassy, now I'll make you even better looking than you are. I'll tear you up from the inside and trust me, I'll make you like it. You'll be as lovely as scattered rose petals."
Sebastian turned away from the grim reaper with a frown.
"You're a grim reaper, your job is to quietly harvest the souls of the dying."Sebastian explained. "And as a butler, your job is to follow your master and mistress like a shadow. You have violated both of these expectations, and quite frankly, I find it sickening."
"Bassy, you wound me."Grell sneered. "You know I'm more deadly efficient than I seem."
Ciel moved his hand up to his face to remove his eye patch and reveal his contract marked left eye.
"In my name and that of the queen I order you Sebastian, put an end to them."Ciel ordered.
Celine watched in awe as her brother's pentagram marked eye glowed purple.
Sebastian's eyes glowed pink and his pupils became slits.
"Indeed, my young lord."Sebastian replied with a devilish smirk.
Suddenly, Sebastian unbuttoned his trench coat and placed it over Ciel and Celia to cover them.
"So that none of you will catch a cold."Sebastian said with a smile."When we return to the mansion, I'll prepare some hot milk for you both. I'll even make strawberry cream puffs to sweeten things up."
"If I am the one to be hunted down, then I'd rather be the one to do the hunting, bassy!"Grell cackled. "Let us have a wonderful game of hide and seek!"
Sebastian shoved Ciel and Celine out of the way to dodge the spinning blade that was going to cut them down.
"Oh! Yes, please run away!"Grell encouraged with an evil smile."We can play tag, Bassy!"
Grell pinned Sebastian against the alley wall, allowing the butler to grab the chainsaw as it drives itself into the brick wall.
"But see what happens when you're not fast enough, you get cut!"Grell laughed. "It's more fun when it hurts a little bit though isn't it!"
Celine stood behind Ciel as she reached out to grab something behind her back as Madam Red spoke to them.
"You're still the Queen's Guard Dog which means that now I'm your prey."Madam Red complemented and took out a long knife."But if it's hunt or be hunted, there's only one thing I can do!"
Madam Red charged forward with the long knife, only for her attack to be blocked by a single sword that was held by Celine.
Celine stood behind her older brother protectively with her sword out.
"Auntie Red, I don't want to hurt you!"Celine declared firmly."But if you want to kill us, I'll do what is necessary! That is expected of the future Marchioness of Midford!"
Madam Red angrily hissed at Celine's words.
"You're a doctor, how could you do it?"Ciel demanded.
"None of you wouldn't understand if I told you. You're just children!"Madam Red snapped and gritted her teeth. "You...you brats."
Celine held her sword tightly as she watched her aunt with a glare.
"YOU BOTH SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE FIRST PLACE!"Madam Red screamed angrily.
Madam Red raised her knife to hurt Ciel and Celine, but they were replaced by a smiling Rachel wearing her beautiful wedding dress.
"Ah, sister!"Madam Red gasped in awe.
"MASTER!"Sebastian yelled out. "MISTRESS!"
A release of blood spread out as Sebastian moved in to kill Madam Red.
"Stop, Sebastian!"Ciel ordered. "Don't kill her!"
Sebastian's gloved fingers was just centimetres away from Madam Red's head.
Madam Red dropped her long knife, cupping her face as Sebastian pulled back, sighed heavily and placing a hand over his newly injured shoulder.
Ciel and Celine looked at Sebastian in shock.
"Your arm..."Celine whispered with a startled look.
Grell grinned as he pulled out his death scythe from the wall.
"Ooh! How sweet you are, Bassy!"Grell remarked."Really what a prince; sacrificing your own poor limb to save those kids."
Grell frowned when he looked at Madam Red as he walked up to her.
"On the other hand, you're a disappointment madam."Grell scowled. "Come not, hurry up and kill the brats already!"
Madam Red removed her hands from her eyes that were filled with tears as she looked at Ciel and Celine.
A flashback showed Ciel and Celine as small children spending time with their parents and their dog, Sebastian.
The camera moved to Rachel smiling at Vincent.
"I loved my sister..."
Vincent smiled at Rachel while his eyes were covered by the bangs of his hair.
"I loved her husband..."
The camera lastly focused on Ciel and Celine, who were petting their family dog.
"I loved their children."
Ciel and Celine looked behind them and smiled at the viewers.
"I can't! I can't kill them!"Madam Red cried in heartbreak. "I can't kill their beloved son and daughter."
"Really? You're getting soft hearted on me all of a sudden, after all those deaths?"Grell questioned in disbelief. "If you don't end them, they'll end you."
Ciel and Celine looked at Madam Red with sad expressions.
"Madam/Auntie."Ciel and Celine said in unison.
"But, these dear children."Madam Red responded and turned around. "These children are my-"
Madam Red was cut off when Grell's death scythe drove into her torso causing the twins and their butler's eyes to widen in horror.
"Too late for that! How disappointing!"Grell cackled sinisterly. "What use do I have for you if you're just another woman!"
As Madam Red falls, blood came out of her body followed by a film reel.
"Is that her..."Sebastian started.
"A part of a reapers job is to play and examine the memories of those who were on the to-die list."Grell explained. "From that, we determine what kind of person they were. We see from their own perspective what kind of life they've lived, and we decide whether they should love or die."
"Their lives flash right before their eyes."Sebastian commented.
"Oh please, that's such a pedestrian term!"Grell admitted. "It is so much more than that. This is the reapers true power: the cinematic record."
The cinematic record began to play and it started with the scene when Angelina was a fifteen year old girl standing next to her older sister, Rachel.
The two sisters watched as their father, Jordan Dalles, gestured his hand to Vincent, who was sitting down in a familiar room.
"Rachel, Angelina, come say hello to our guest, Lord Phantomhive."Lord Dalles instructed.
Vincent smiled causing Angelina to blush a little as she stared at him.
"I had hated the red hair I inherited from my father."Madam Red's voice narrated.
The scene showed Angelina standing next to Vincent in a garden that had different types of flowers in it.
"Your hair is very beautiful, Anne."Vincent declared."The colour of Spider Lilies. Red suits you very well."
"But I came to love it after all. I came to love the colour red."Madam Red's voice admitted. "I came to love him."
Celine's eyes widen at Madam Red's words.
"Auntie loved Papa?"Celia thought with a stunned look.
The record then showed Vincent and Rachel sitting down in the sofa after announcing that they were getting married which made Angelina had a sad smile on her face.
"Anne, I have wonderful news!"Rachel declared.
"My sister."Angelina said quietly.
A scene showed Angelina among the guests attending in Rachel and Vincent's wedding day before it showed her attending a ball and meeting a man known as Baron Burnett.
"Once again, I hated the colour red."Madam Red's voice declared. "But, I could never bring myself to hate them. Eventually, I too met a man and got married."
Angelina smiled gently as Burnett sat down rested his head on her lap.
"What do you think?"Burnett asked. "A boy or a girl?"
"Aha, men are so impatient."Angelina chuckled with a smile. "How would I know that yet?"
"It didn't happen at all the way I wanted it to."Madam Red's voice explained. "But still, I thought I'd found happiness...then it all slipped away."
The cinematic record showed a damaged carriage as someone cried out in the background.
"The carriage hit someone!"A man shouted. "Call a doctor, quickly!"
Angelina stood laying on a bed covered with bandages as a doctor spoke to her.
"Your husband died instantly."the doctor declared. "And in order to save your life, we were forced to remove your uterus and your unborn child with it. I'm sorry but we had no choice."
"Everything, everything slipped away from me."Madam Red's voice stated in heartbreak. "I had lost the man I had learned to love and the child I had loved so dearly before it was even born."
Angelina came out of the carriage which suddenly stopped and was shocked to find Phantomhive Manor in flames before the record showed her in Vincent and Rachel's funeral with the other mourners.
"The stain spread. It covered everything. That colour I so hated. The colour red."Madam Red's voice cried. "My sister was buried with the man she loved. If only...if only my heart had been buried in the ground along with them."
Then it showed Angelina working as a doctor while a prostitute woman spoke to her.
"Honestly, a child would only be in the way."the prostitute woman declared rudely. "I don't know who that father is and my customers wouldn't like a child hanging around."
Angelina frowned at that woman's cold words before it showed her washing her hands to remove the blood stain after doing the prostitute's surgery.
"I had lost everything in my life. That woman had what I wanted most."Madam Red's voice declared grimly. "What I would never get the chance to have again. And she threw it away without a second thought. I wanted to stain her too."
The record then showed Angelina rushing towards the same prostitute woman from before and killing her with a long knife which stained her face with blood.
"I decided to stain everything red."Madam Red's voice replied. "With my own hands."
"My my!"Grell sneered. "That was quit a little show!"
Angelina looked up and saw Grell above a building with a grin on his face.
"That's when I met my blood red grim reaper."Madam Red's voice added.
Angelina stood near a sink as Grell cut her crimson long hair into a bob hair cut.
"A few months later, my missing nephew and niece suddenly reappeared."
"Ciel!"Angelina shouted."Celine!"
Angelina arrived into a room which showed Ciel and Celine sitting on chairs with Sebastian standing at their side.
"With them, they brought a butler dressed in black."
"You are really safe!"Angelina remarked in joy.
"I got at least one thing back."
Angelina hugged Ciel and Celine with a relieved smile to see that they were both alive.
"Thank goodness. At least we still have both of you."Angelina remarked."Let me take a look at your darling faces."
The red haired woman saw Ciel's face was blank with a white bandage covering his left eye
Celine gave a weak smile to her eyes though her eyes showed that she experienced something that has traumatised her.
"The children of the man I loved and my sister."
The scene changed to Angelina spending time with Ciel and Celine, who spoke with Elizabeth and Edward as she drank a cup of tea before it showed her killing another prostitute with Grell.
"If these children could come back, then why couldn't my beloved?"Madam Red's voice questioned in sorrow. "Why wasn't I the one he chose to marry? I finally decided that I would write all the wrongs I had been dealt."
The cinematic record showed Angelina's last screen which was her screaming at Ciel and Celine.
"YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING!"Madam Red screamed in rage.
When the cinematic record ended, Madam Red dropped dead on the floor as a little tear rolled down her cheek.
"How beautiful you were. Dyed crimson and covered in your victims blood."Grell declared sadly. "I loved you so."
Grell removed his old coat and took Madam Red's red coat to wear it himself.
"What a disappointment you turned out to be in the end. You don't have what it takes to wear red."Grell retorted and placed on the red coat."You cheap little melodrama ends now. It's over, Madam Red. Goodbye."
Ciel closed Madam Red's eyes as tears rolled down from Celine's face.
"Auntie, I'm so sorry."Celine thought in shame."I had no idea what you've been through."
Ciel brought his attention to Sebastian and glared at him.
"Well, what are you waiting for? I thought I ordered you to put and end to Jack The Ripper."Ciel reminded. "It's not over yet. One is left. Stop standing there and kill him."
Sebastian smirked. "Certainly."
Grell stopped walking away and stood where he was.
"Oh, I was going to spare you. Professional curtsy and all that. But if you insist."Grell remarked and activated his death scythe. "I'll send you and the brats to Heaven together!"
Grell launched forward his death scythe and Sebastian easily dodged it.
"Heaven, you're joking."Sebastian sneered and went on top of Grell's death scythe. "I know nothing or Heaven."
Sebastian aimed to kick Grell's face, but the grim reaper narrowly dodged the attack.
"Ah! You would kick a lady in the face?!"Grell shouted with a glare. "Where are you manners, sir?!"
"Terribly sorry."Sebastian responded. "You see I'm simply one hell of a butler."
"Ha!"Grell mocked. "You think a demon like you can beat a reaper?"
"Certainly."Sebastian answered. "You see, if my master tells me to win, then I shall win."
"You care a lot about that puny little brat and his bratty sister, don't you? I'm jealous."Grell declared as he held out his death scythe. "Demon or not, you'll still be destroyed if I reap you with my death scythe. Aren't you frightened?"
"Not at all."Sebastian replied with a smile and placed his hand on his chest. "I belong to my master; my soul and my body, down to the last hair. Ah yes, the contract remains so I follow his every order. That's what it means to be a butler."
Celine looked at Sebastian quietly before the butler launched himself forward to attack Grell.
What did he mean when he said the word contract?
See you all in the next chapter!
