ANOTHER KILLER???

——— • Now this is odd, this isn't supposed to happen. Why is Mr. Phelps dead? He's supposed to be an extra guest only, why did this happen to him? I never gave orders to anyone to kill him...

"Sister, what happened?", Ciel nudged me as he whispered. I patted his head, "Even I'm not sure..."

Flipping a few pages back, we were supposed to have breakfast but we noticed that one of our guests is missing. Which happens to Mr. Phelps.

So we rushed to Ciel's room, which Mr. Phelps used as he thinks that the killer wouldn't come to the room close to where the murders happened.

That's also what I thought, but here lay his corpse on Ciel's bed. I clicked my tongue in annoyance...

His form is horrific, eyes and mouth open in shock, his hands still has a light grip on the bed sheets. Sebastian would've heard if something happened here, so why didn't he report it immediately?

Everyone is scared and confused, even Earl Gray. "Why..."

"This manor's really creepy," Roxana's younger brother scratched his nape and his face turns into a disturbing expression.

Arthur checked his corpse, "Rigor mortis has already set in...so he's dead for a quite a while. I don't see any signs of physical trauma like the others, but...", He uncovers Mr. Phelps' neck.

Two small holes on his neck?

"It looks like something pricked his neck...", He said outloud.

I bent down to examine the wound, "Those are...?"

"Needles perhaps? Was he possibly poisoned?", Arthur suggested.

Our serious matter wasbthen interrupted when Lau and his sister began to rummage through Ciel's wardrobe. "Young master, you live in a nice room!"

Ciel peaks in and glared, "Don't search my room without my permission!"

Ignoring them, I inspected the wounds closely. "They resemble a bite mark, punctured by fangs perhaps?", I suggested.

"Bite marks on the neck? It's just like Carmilla," Diaz mentioned. I stood up amd raised a brow, "Le Fanil's vampuire, Camilla?", Vampires don't exist....

But then again... Sebastian is a demon, so there might be a possibility of them being real. "I'll just have to ask him later..."

"So you're saying he was killed by a vampire? Aren't they just fairytales?", Jeremy comments with a scoff.

"It might be an animal," Roxana suggested, "Do you perhaps own a snake, Countess?" She jokes. I shook my head, "No, but I used to dream to own one as a child."

Arthur walks over a broken clock, "2:38...", it reads. "He probably not it over while afflicted," I commented. He nods, agreeing.

"Which means Mr Phelps died at the time shown on this clock." Ciel says.

Dion approaches me, "Is this also a part of your performance?", He asks. I shook my head, "To be honest with you, I am also confused by this...he was only supposed to be an extra...", I admited.
