Ignoring Sarah's and my looks of disbelief, Ciel's surprised look, and Sebastian's interested smile, the smirking woman waltzed to Sebastian. "Hello, Diabolos. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Sebastian frowned. "Do not call me that name. You may only address me as Sebastian."
Patricia laughed. "Sebastian? What an ugly, common name. A title of a pitiful servant. Did this little human young title you that?" She pointed her index finger to Ciel. (Who yelled, "Now just wait a minute!")
"Silence, Patricia. I'm not the one having constant affairs with humans."
"Oh, Diab- I mean, Sebastian." Patricia cocked her head sideways. "Do you remember my friend Faustus? Claude Faustus?"
"No. I do not."
Patricia placed her hand on Sebastian's shoulder. "He wants your precious lord's soul. It would be best for you to eat it quickly, before you become the unlucky servant of another demon."
Sebastian frowned. "Please don't touch me."
Ciel stood up. "Sebastian, who is this woman? Tell me at once!"
Patricia covered Sebastian's mouth. "I am a fellow demoness, little one. I just want to speak to these two girls."
"Sebastian. Get rid of this monster!" Ciel commanded. "Do not kill her, I order you! Make her leave the estate!"
Patricia smirked. "You think your little protector can get rid of me that easily?" Her eyes flashed red. "Very well, I will leave." She turned to face the door. "Kelly. Sarah. I will see you soon." Patricia seemed to sink into the floor, and disappeared.
Once the top of her head disappeared, Sarah and I faced each other, slightly panicked. Could she really be that voice?
Sebastian bowed. "I apologize for the trouble, ladies."
Ciel frowned. "That was the voice you two were speaking of?" he inquired.
"Y-yes..." Sarah murmured.
"Speak louder."
"Yes!"
Ciel sat back in his chair. "Well, I suppose we should leave things as it is. Jack the Ripper is still prowling out there, and we need to catch him." He turned to face his butler. "Sebastian. Find out who this next murderer's victim shall be."
"Of course." Sebastian bowed. He quickly left the room, closing the wooden door behind him.
"And you two."
"Yes?" I answered.
"Even though both of you are rather impolite, you two should come with us as well, to provide us with some needed information." Ciel explained.
"Okay." Sarah nodded.
"Yes, Earl Phantomhive." Ciel firmly corrected.
"Yes, Earl Phantomhive." we both stated. Geez. He's even more than a brat than he is in the anime.
::::::::::::::
"Who is Jack the Ripper?" I thought. "If he's not Grell Sutcliff, then who? Could it just be Madame Red?"
"Sarah?"
I turned to face her. "Yeah?"
"Who do you think is Jack the Ripper? Ciel doesn't know a Grell."
We were both sitting with Meyrin, Bard, and Finny. They were supposed to keep watch over us, but they were too occupied discussing their own matters. At first, they were confused when they saw us eating breakfast with Ciel for the first time, but I guess they got used to our "strange" manners.
"It might be Madame Red." I murmured. "That's my theory. It may be Grell who probably convinced her to do more, but she did kill a few women."
"There you are."
Ciel stood at the top of the staircase. He was dressed as a regular commoner boy. Sebastian was standing with him, protective as usual.
"It's time to go. We need to find this atrocious criminal." Ciel grimly declared. "However. Taking both of you is too much trouble, so which one of you wants to go?"
Sarah immediately looked at me, and I looked back at her as well. That was a difficult decision. Although Sarah knew about the story more than I did, she fainted at the sight of extreme violence or massive amounts of blood, unlike me, who had an older brother who spend his time playing Zombies.
"Maybe you should go, Kelly." she murmured. "The story doesn't matter, it's changing anyway."
I swallowed. "I'll go." I declared. Here goes. I'm going to try to stop the death of Mary Jane Kelly tonight. And put an end to the feared Jack the Ripper.
Kelly. Do not say anything right now.
Oh no, not Patricia again...
Be careful of Sebastian. You never know what kind of harm he may bring. Don't forget, he is very...cunning.
Patricia's voice disappeared. Cunning, huh?
"Well then." Ciel stated. "Let's get going. Miss Kelly. Please change clothes that are more fitting to...avoiding death."
"Yes, Earl Phantomhive."
"Miss Sarah. Please refrain from coming along with us. Everything will go as planned."
"Yes, Earl Phantomhive." Sarah tried to hide a smirk. Oh dear god, "Just as planned"...Death Note references now, Sarah?
::::::::::::
"...will you be taking both ladies to the site?" Sebastian interrogated. He fixed Ciel's beige hat and stood up.
"Are you joking? One is enough trouble."
"Young master, I suggest you bring at least one of them. They may come as useful." Sebastian smiled, closing both eyes. "Besides, if Jack the Ripper asks for a sacrifice, or we are stuck in a situation where one would needed to be given up, we can give the chosen lady to him, isn't that right?"
Ciel nodded slightly. "Yes. I will reconsider that idea." He headed towards the door to head down to the staircase, where he will decide who will follow them. "Sebastian."
"Yes, young master?"
"Are you going to kill them?"
"The ladies? If you want me to, I shall." Sebastian's eyes glimmered pink. "But if I may ask, why would you desire for me to do so? I know what may become of me if they accomplish their goal of allowing me to devour your soul, but isn't gaining your revenge your first priority?"
"They're too much trouble, of course. And yes. Getting my revenge is my first goal. But I want to do it without these girls. They will ruin everything." Ciel stroked his blue family ring. "Like I have said before. This is my revenge. I will get it my way, not with the help of some strange commoners." Ciel quickly opened the door. "When I give the order, I want you to kill them. But please be gentle. They didn't insult me or my family, yet. They don't need more pain." Ciel headed out of his bedroom.
"Yes." Sebastian bowed. "My lord."
:::::::::::
It was very late at night. Ciel ordered Sebastian to keep a close eye on me.
I was surprised, Sebastian can really multitask.
Stroking a kitten, muttering words at it, and watching me all at the same time.
"Earl Phantomhive, we should go into Mary Jane Kelly's-" I began, but Ciel interrupted me.
"I will not be ordered around by a stranger. I will do this on my own, as usual." Ciel grimly stated.
A stranger? What a brat! He knows we know what will happen, why isn't he asking us for more information? "Listen! I know what will happen, the murderer is probably killing her right-"
"AHHHHHHHHH!" A bloodcurdling scream split the gloomy night. The cat loudly mewed and jumped from Sebastian's arms as Ciel quickly dashed to Mary Jane Kelly's door with Sebastian and I after him. He slammed it open, looking for the victim and the culprit. He paused, and vomited on the ground as Sebastian covered his eyes.
I knew what was there; I decided not to look.
A boy, probably around our age stepped out of the entrance, body splattered in blood.
A woman followed him. Clearly, it was Madame Red. I was correct. She solemnly stared at Ciel, then me, and then to the boy.
Yet, who was that kid?
The boy merely blinked. "I didn't know I wasn't alone, Doctor."
Ciel took off Sebastian's arms out of his view. "So you're the one, Madame Red..." He declared, eyes narrowed. It was as if she wasn't in his own family. "Do you know this boy?"
Our new "OC" stepped forward. He had dusty blonde hair and brown eyes. A few freckles were on his nose. "Of course she does, I'm one of her patients." He wiped the blood from his hand onto his trousers. "My name is Jonathan Ferris, son of Lord Henry Ferris. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
