Black Butler: Ciel P. x You/Reader - Chapter 16

Cold of the night reveals our darkest secrets. (2/2)



It started to pour down rain with lighting hitting the ground and thunder making its loud bangs repeatedly. While the rain pounded against the ground, the blood was becoming thin and it flowed with the water. You got a disgusted look on your face and felt your stomach knot up.

Rose got very close to you. You never know if the being is still there. Another scream was released from someone's throat and it sent chills to all of you. "No one could have gotten past us..." Ciel said. All of you started to run after where you heard the scream. Ciel was the first to open a door to a building. Right when he opened the door, a splash of blood landed on his left cheek. He got frightened by the woman's corpse. He saw her and froze. "No!" Sebastian grabbed Ciel, covered his eyes and jumped back: bringing Ciel with him.

Ciel was so frightened by the corpse that he was shaking, while Sebastian was still covering his eyes. Everyone heard footsteps of the blood splashing around the person's feet. Sebastian smiled. "That's quite a mess you made, Jack the Ripper.." the footsteps continued. "...or should I say, Grell Sutcliff?" Sebastian asked. "Y-You have it all wrong! I heard the scream and ran over here, but she was already..." Grell said. "I think you can stop playing innocent in the body, Grell. This is the first time I've met someone like you in the human world. You performed the role of 'harmless incompetent butler' quite adeptly." Sebastian finished. "Adeptly?" Grell smiled devilishly; his sharp teeth showed and began laughing. "Do you think so? That's right." Grell removed the red ribbon that held his brunette hair and took off his glasses. "I'm an actress, honey." Grell said. "Wait! You're a 'miss'?!" you asked. Grell ignored you and kept going. He took out a comb from inside his jacket. "And, I'm absolutely first-rate." He combed his hair; with every brush, his hair turned to a blood red. He placed fluttery, fake eyelashes on his eyes. "But you're not 'Sebastian' either, are you?" Grell asked

"That's the name I received from my young master, so yes, I am... at the moment." Sebastian said. "My, so you're a 'faithful dog' character." Grell placed a new pare of glass that were the same color as his hair, on his eyes. "Though for a fine-looking man like you, that's fabulous too. Well then, Sebastian...No, Sebas-chan... let me re-introduce myself." Grell gave himself a hair flip and smiled at all of you. "I am Grell Sutcliff, butler of the Burnetts." Grell started to blush and he partly covered his mouth with his hand. "I'm sure we two butlers can get along marvelously." Grell blew Sebastian a kiss.

Sebastian got a disgusted look, his hair covered his eye, and he shook as the kiss blew by him. "Ah, I finally get to met you in my true form! I'd never seen a demon playing a butler before, so I was surprised when I first saw you!" Grell said. Sebastian let go of his disgust and smiled. "That's my line. I never imagined someone like you would play a butler. Someone who stands neutral between man and God...a grim reaper. Why would a divine being such as yourself bother to play a butler?" Sebastian asked. "Good question. Perhaps I should say I fell in love with a certain woman." Ciel gasped. "And that woman would be?" Sebastian said.

"You don't need to ask, do you?" a female said. Everyone turned where the woman's voice came from. "Who was that? Could that have been the woman who died?...No, it can't be!" you thought to yourself. There were footsteps coming at all of you. Ciel removed Sebastian's hand from his eyes and looked for who the person was. Madame Red came out, frowning. "Madame..." Ciel said. Madame Red smiled. "I didn't calculate on anyone being able to see Grell for what he is." "Naturally; you were on the initial suspect list." Ciel said."Suspect list?" you asked yourself. You had no idea what was going on, but you were very confused and went with what was happening. "But, your alibi was perfect." Ciel said. "You suspected your own aunt?" Madame Red asked. Ciel glared. "If you had the potential to be Jack, any blood relation was irrelevant. None of the humans on the suspect list could have committed all the murders. But if one had an inhuman accomplice, that would change everything. If he could enter the room in an instant without our noticing, he could also instantaneously get from the viscount's to the East End. You two are the only ones who could be Jack The Ripper...Madame Red and Grell Sutcliff. Jack The Ripper's victims had other things in common. They all underwent a certain surgery at London Central Hospital, where you work."

Ciel pulled out a piece of paper from inside his vest. "The only patient on the list who hadn't yet been killed was Mary Kelly, who lived in the flat." Ciel showed Madame Red of what it said on it. "I thought you'd show up here if I kept an eye on the place. I couldn't save her, though..." Ciel looked upset for letting someone die. "This is unfortunate, my beloved nephew Ciel... If you hadn't figured it out, we could have played chess together again. But... I won't give anything up this time!" "Mistress ___... now!" Rose shouted for the signal. "Right!" you said.

You lowered the back of your dress to show your contract tattoo. Then your scythe appeared in your hands. Grell had a chainsaw that swung at Ciel and Sebastian. You ran in front of them and made your move.
