"I've narrowed it down to one suspect. The Viscount Druitt, Aleister Chambers. He just recently graduated from medical school but has never gone into practice." Sebastian said. "Lately, he's been hosting parties at his home."
"I've heard that he's into black magic." Madame Red smirked.
"So, you're suspicious that he's holding these parties for some ritualistic sacrifices of noble prostitutes." Lau spoke.
Over the past few days, Ciel went through some gruesome training, learning how to be a proper lady. Surprisingly, Cassandra was somehow pulled into it, if it didn't go well. She was plan B. She hated every minute of it. She couldn't sit the way she wanted, eat the way she wanted, slouch. It was torture! Cassandra was pretty sure Madame Red was getting back at her for accusing her. The day of the party was tonight, and they were picking out a dress. Sebastian and Madame Red was fitting Ciel in a frilly pink and white dress with a small pink hat, black arm length gloves, now wearing a wig in pig tails, matching his hair color. Cassandra picked out a solid red dress with black arm length gloves, wearing a dark blue rose in her hair.
She noticed Grell looking admiringly at the dresses on display and walked over to him.
"Find something you like?" She asked, smiling, startling Grell.
"Oh! I was just looking at them! They're all very lovely." He told her.
"Well, maybe you should wear one." Cassandra smirked.
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly-"
"Why not? I've seen you in a dress before. You definitely make it work on you."
"That's very kind of you to say." Grell laughed.
"Although, if you had to choose what would you wear?" Cassandra asked him.
"Red, as always." Grell told her.
"Of course." Cassandra smiled.
"It's time. Tonight is the last party of the season. This is our last chance." Ciel said.
The night of the party came, and everyone arrived at the viscount place. Inside, there was many aristocrats and nobles talking and eating and drinking.
"You two are going to be acting as my nieces visiting from the country." Madame Red told Ciel and Cassandra then looked at Sebastian. "And Sebastian here will be Ciel's tutor."
"I still don't understand why I have to act like your niece!" Ciel shouted.
"Because I've always wanted a girl!" Madame Red smiled.
"You're kidding me!" Ciel exclaimed in disbelief.
"You don't want them to know that you're a Phantomhive, do you? Besides, I've heard the Lord Druitt has an eye for any pretty little thing in a skirt. And we do need to catch his eye, right?"
"By any means necessary. Do you remember saying, do you not, sir?" Sebastian sneered. Ciel glared at him. They split up and began to look around trying to find the viscount.
"First thing first, we need to locate this murderous viscount." Sebastian spoke.
"At least we won't run into anyone that we know-" Cassandra spoke before a familiar high-pitched voice shouted, cutting her off.
"Ah! Your dress is so lovely!"
Sebastian, Ciel and Cassandra jump and stood completely frozen in shock. They quickly turned to see Lizzie talking to a woman not too far away in the crowd.
"L-Lizzie!" Ciel sputtered in shock.
"Why is she here!?" Cassandra whispered in shock as well.
"Come with me, master-I mean, mistress, this way!" Sebastian urged pulling Ciel along with him quickly.
"Ooh, you in the pink! Your dress is beautiful!" Lizzie called out. Ciel tensed up and Cassandra quickly pulled him along with her with Sebastian, trying to get away from Lizzie. Lizzie tried to push past the crowd of people, to follow after the three, but lost them. Sebastian, Cassandra and Ciel, took cover, hiding, beside a table.
"If anyone finds out about this..." Ciel murmured, clenching the tablecloth tightly in his hand, panicking a little.
"The Phantomhive name will be ruined for generations." Sebastian replied.
"Let's go join Madame Red." Ciel replied. As they looked for her, they saw Madame Red surrounded by a small crowd, laughing and drinking some champagne, while Grell stood beside her.
"Well, she seems to be having fun." Cassandra spoke.
"There you are!" Lizzie shouted.
"Can't she just get lost!" Cassandra growled in annoyance. Sebastian grabbed Ciel and Cassandra by their arms and pulled them away. He stopped by a waiter. "You, there. That young lady over there requires some assistance." using them to distract Lizzie. Then he took Ciel and Cassandra outside to the balcony.
"Why do these things always happen to me?" Ciel panted.
"Lord Druitt! Looks as gorgeous as ever tonight!" A woman sighed. Cassandra looked and saw a tall handsome man with lavender eyes, short blond hair in an elegant white suit, an ascot tie, white gloves.
"Hey, there's our target." Cassandra pointed out. Suddenly, music started to play, and people began dance. "Great. How are we going to get to him through all these people?"
Sebastian smirked and took Cassandra's hand. "Then we have no choice but to dance our way over to him." Cassandra's eyes widened, stepping back a little.
"You're kidding me, right?" she sputtered, blushing a little.
"I am one hell of a dancer. And this is a great time to have a little fun." Sebastian pulled her along with him and gracefully danced through the crowd. Several people stopped and watched in awe as they watched Cassandra and Sebastian dance together. Grell, noticed and silently watched a little envious. Cassandra glanced over at him, giving him an apologetic look as she continued to dance with Sebastian. Ciel tried to follow them while slipping through the crowd, trying to avoid Lizzie. The music stopped and Sebastian and Cassandra stepped away from each other. Ciel collapsed on the floor exhausted.
"Why was that song so long?" He panted.
"How could you become exhausted so easily, my lady?" Sebastian helped Ciel up until they heard clapping. The three saw the Viscount, making his way over to them.
"Hello, Viscount Druitt, it is an honor to meet you." Cassandra spoke, softly and curtsied. Aleister turned seeing her and Ciel standing next to her doing the same thing.
"My, now, looks like I have a lovely little dove. You're dancing is exquisite." He smiled, stepping closer to Cassandra, ignoring Ciel. Plan B it is then. Sebastian glanced over to Ciel.
"My lady, allow me to fetch a drink." and he told Ciel and walked away, leaving Ciel with Cassandra.
"How nice of you to say." Cassandra smiled.
"I do hope that you're enjoying the party." Aleister smiled, taking Cassandra's hand, kissing it.
"Oh, no, thank you." Cassandra cringed in disgust. Aleister blinked.
"Excuse me?"
"Um, yes, I am! It is quite lovely." Cassandra quickly corrected herself. "Sorry, I'm a little nervous. I've actually been waiting to talk to you all evening."
Aleister smiled, moving a little closer to Cassandra. "Oh? Are you looking for something a little more entertaining?" He placed his hand on Cassandra's waist and his fingers quickly slid downwards. Cassandra shuddered and twitched uncomfortably. Do not slap him! Do not slap him! Do not slap him! She felt his hand slipping down lower. Cassandra made a small laugh, and she quickly grabbed his wrist and slowly laced her fingers entwining with his. Aleister blinked a little in surprise.
"What kind of entertainment are we talking about?" She smiled.
"Would you like to know?" Aleister tilted Cassandra's chin up to him.
"Yes, I'm simply dying to, my lord. Don't tease me."
Ciel tensed up when he saw Lizzie running over to him. Cassandra noticed as well. No! Go away! Aleister turned Cassandra's head back to him.
"Has something gotten you distracted, my lady?"
"It's nothing."
Lizzie was getting closer. It's all over! She's going to blow everything! Just as Lizzie was about a few feet away, a large cabinet slammed down in front of her from out of nowhere. Sebastian was wearing a masquerade mask, concealing his face.
"Lady and gentlemen, if you will all gather around. This evening's magic show will now begin." He smiled. Ciel quickly moved away from Cassandra. Sebastian looked over to Lau.
"Pardon me, sir, will you assist me?"
"Assist you? Certainly." Lau walked over to Sebastian.
"Where did he come from? I don't think I requested any parlor tricks this evening." Aleister wondered. Cassandra gently grabbed his hand, drawing his attention to her.
"Hey, this party is getting a little boring. How about we sneak off and do something a little more exciting?" she said seductively, smiling, innocently.
"Come with me, my little dove." Aleister smiled. Cassandra wanted to gag but still kept a smile on her face as Aleister pulled her with him as they left the room. Ciel and Sebastian watched them as they left.
The crowd cheered in amazement when Sebastian finished his demonstration, revealing himself to be unscathed, as Lau stabbed the cabinet with several knives.
"Sebastian, follow them." Ciel ordered.
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian smiled and he vanished from the crowd, disappearing.
Aleister took Cassandra to a dark room. Cassandra stepped inside when he gestured her to go in first.
"We're going somewhere I'm sure you'll find very amusing." He told her stepping inside as well, closing the door behind her. Cassandra smelled something strange in the air that was almost suffocating. Her vision started to get hazy, and she started to lose control of her limbs. Cassandra coughed as she collapsed to the floor, covering her nose and mouth with her hand. She strangely began to feel sleepy.
"What is this!?" She demanded. Cassandra saw Aleister turning around with a menacing gleam in his eyes.
"You'll soon about to enjoy yourself, my little dove." He sneered.
Cassandra tried to fight against the poison, trying to stay awake. I can't go to sleep in here! Not with this pervert!
"I am surprised that you're holding out this long. Normally, every woman I brought pass out within an instant."
"You...are not getting away...with this." Cassandra spatted out. Her eyes grew heavier. Her vision went dark, and she fell back, collapsing down to the floor.
Help me...
Someone!
It felt like hours had gone by. Cassandra gasped and she opened her eyes only to find that she had been blindfolded. She tried to move her hands, but they had been bound together and so were her legs.
"And now for all that you've been waiting for. Tonight's crowing jewel!" Cassandra heard Aleister announce and he pulled the curtain up. Cassandra was sitting in a cage and there was a group of people sitting in front of her wearing masks. He's a black-market dealer! Cassandra felt her heart beating in her chest, nervously, as Aleister continued.
"I'm sure she'll make a lovely decoration or a sweet little pet. You can keep her whole and healthy or sell her for parts if you want to. Her eyes are a lovely shimmering shade of green that will add to your unique attraction. The bidding shall begin momentarily."
Cassandra felt the blindfold loosen as it was untied and her eyes widen, a little scared. People began to bid going higher and higher. Cassandra closed her eyes.
No!
Suddenly, the entire room went dark as all the candles went out by themselves.
"W-What's this!?' Aleister exclaimed in shock. There were loud bangs and clangs in the darkness as people screamed, falling to the floor as they were hit. The person was heading closer and closer to the where Cassandra was. The candles magically lit themselves back and Cassandra's eyes widen as she saw Sebastian standing in front of the cage, unlocking it.
"S-Sebastain?"
"Are you alright, my lady?" Sebastian asked. Cassandra's eyes widen in shock as she saw Sebastian pry the bars with brute strength. He stepped in and started untying the ropes and helped Cassandra out.
"Yes. But how did you find me and how did you do that?"
"I am simply one hell of a butler. What kind of butler would I be if I can't follow my master's orders." Sebastian smirked.
"That doesn't answer my question!" Cassandra shouted at him.
"At least we've managed to capture the culprit." Sebastian ignored her, pulling Cassandra with him. Just as they were about to leave, Aleister managed to wake up and he pulled out a gun pointing it at Sebastian and Cassandra.
"Such as waste to kill such a pretty little dove." and he fired the gun. Cassandra quickly pushed Sebastian out of the way. Sebastian's eyes widen in shock as he reached out to her.
"No!"
He saw Cassandra fall to the ground and immediately rushed at Aleister knocking him out and tossing the gun away. Sebastian quickly turned and saw Cassandra still lying on the floor and ran over to her.
"Cassandra! Are you alright?" He bent down and saw that she was still breathing. He began to check her over but didn't see no gunshot wound. Then Sebastian blinked in surprise when he saw Cassandra sat up in no pain at all, confused, but also relieved. She quickly began to pat herself down, checking herself as well.
"I'm alive? Thank God, he was a lousy shot." she sighed. Sebastian stared at her, silently, frowning, suspiciously.
"Yes, so it would seem." He spoke and stood up, pulling Cassandra up with him. "Let us get out of here." The two left and contacted Scotland Yard and they came and arrested Aleister and the rest of the black-market bidders.
Then the next morning came. Ciel couldn't believe it himself and slammed his hands down on his desk in shock as he stared at the newspaper in front of him.
"It can't be!" He exclaimed.
"Jack the Ripper strikes again!?"
