The Eldest Phantomhive

Her Raven, Merrymaking

"Holiday! Holiday! We're going on a holiday! Holiday! Holiday! We're going on a holiday!" The three cheered as I giggled softly. "They can be rather annoying, can't they?" Sebastian asked as I smiled. "Well, they do rarely get out of the house." I said and mess with my ring. "Do you hear how happy they are? Such a kind young master." Sebastian said with a smirk. "I couldn't leave them there alone. I might come home to the manor in shambles. Plus it was Ella's idea." Ciel said as I smiled with a shrug.

"I had that in mind which is why I asked." I said with a soft giggle. Sebastian stopped as I looked around at the mostly empty land. "It seems we've arrived at the village, everyone." Sebastian said as I tilted my head. "Alright!" The gang said excitedly. There was dog collars on a tree as skulls littered the ground. The gang shouted in horror and shock as made a face. "Would explain why it smells out here." I said and Sebastian chuckled. "Oh yes. I forgot to mention something, The Queen's resort is yet to be constructed." Ciel said with a sly smirk.

"Yes, master." The three sadly said with depressed expressions as I giggled softly. We carried on for a while and saw an old lady. "Hey, look! Someone actually lives here! Tanaka, stop the carriage!" Finny said as we stopped too. "Here let me help you!" Finny said as he went to help get the baby carriage unstuck. "No, Finny! You might hurt the baby!" Mayrin said with concern. "What did you say?" Finny asked and carelessly lifted the carriage above is head then realized.

He slammed it down as I face palmed at that. "Is the baby okay?" Mayrin asked as they were surprised to see a dog skull with a wrapped up blanket. "There isn't a baby. There isn't a baby anymore. The baby was eaten." The old woman said and started to chant something as she walked away. "Eaten?" Bard asked as the three held an expression of horror. "That is why we're apparently all of the villagers have been violently killed or gone missing." I said and messed with my ring.

"The village has shrunk a third of its size in the last ten years. A part of my task is to find out why. And put an end to the problem." Ciel said as Sebastian looked a little spaced out as I poked his cheek. He snapped out of it and looked at me as I smiled. He smiled a little back and lightly whipped the reins on the horses. We saw the small village next to a beautiful blue lake. "I can see why the Queen wants a resort here. Look at beautiful lake." I said with a smile. We entered the village as there was ringing from a church.

We rode past a guy training a German Shepherd as Mayrin made a comment that she what let the man pet her as my face turned red. Sebastian chuckled a little at my reaction as I looked away. "He manipulates the creature with rewards and punishments." Sebastian started talking but I blocked him a little bit as I looked around the almost dead village. "It's why I love cats. I'm not especially fond of dogs. To be quite frank, I hate them." Sebastian said with a smile as I tuned back in.

"Woof." Ciel said with a small smile as I giggled softly. We made our way towards a big grey mansion. "That's not creepy at all." I said as Sebastian chuckled softly. A maid can out as we stopped in front of her. "I presume this is the Earl of Phantomhive and his sister." She said as I smiled kindly with a nod. "Welcome to Barrymore Castle. My master awaits your arrival." She said and bowed her head. Sebastian helped Ciel out as I got down myself and waited for Ciel to walk around.

"Don't you have your butler to help you?" She asked curiously. "Me? No, no. I like to do things on my own." I said with a closed-eye smile. "You could say she's a strong independent woman." Ciel said with a slight smirk as I held my hands behind my back. "Weeelll, I wouldn't go that far." I said with a small giggle. "Do come inside." She said with a smile as she led us inside. "This way." She said and led me, Ciel, and Sebastian to a room. We looked around the room as it was full with animal head hung up like trophies.

There was a whip and the maid gasping as we looked to see Lord Henry holding a whip. "Who the hell is this Chihuahua?! I told you to bring me the Queen's Guard when he arrived. Can't you do anything right?!" He shouted and kept whipping her. "Chihuahua?" Sebastian asked as I walked over and stepped in front of the maid. "That's not how you treat someone who serves you whatever you want on a silver platter." I said confidently as Henry glared at me.
