Red Death

Part 4

"Ah, you have arrived," said Grell.

"Hello, madam. I am Undertaker,"

"I am Baroness Burnett,"

"Yes, I know," said Undertaker.

"Well then, please take a seat," said Grell.

"Of course,"

Undertaker held out, and he had to gather her coat which she had taken off.

"Thank you," said the baroness as she moved to sit down.

"Do you know that herbal tea is good for pregnant women," said Grell.

"Have any suggestions,"

"Quite a few raspberry leaves, peppermint, ginger, and lemon balm teas are considered safe," replied Grell.

"My lord, if you allow me to get the tea for the Madam," said Undertaker, bowing, then took off for the kitchen.

"Go ahead. Well, you're at it. You can get some of your bone biscuits,"

"Of course," was heard from the kitchen of the quiet shop.

"Now, why am I here,"

"I need your help,"
"With what,"

"You're not going to ask why I'm here,"

"You seem to be a truly influential person,"

"Yea, I am in the supernatural,"

"Supernatural!"

"Yes, I am the master of death,"

"That means you're the reason I'm still alive,"

"You weren't meant to die to begin with,"

"Then why did the accident happen then."

"A demon has been targeting you and your family,"

"Who are they,"

"I couldn't tell in fear you may accidentally summon them,"

Right then, Undertaker walked back into the parlour.

"Ah, My lord, have you informed her of what is going on,"

"Yes,"

"Good. I have finished the tea peppermint tea and chocolate from France,"

"So, is the undertaker one of your subordinates,"

"Yes, he is a grim reaper. He collects souls,"

"Why do you need me,"

"The demon is after the phantomhive family and anyone connected to the meaning you, your husband and your unborn child,"

"What do you need me to do,"

"There is going to be a problem soon. Your sister and her husband are going to die, and your nephew Ciel is going to disappear when he comes back. I need you to hire me as a butler, and when I tell you you'll introduce me to them as a suicidal/clumsy butler,"

"So it's planned to happen. I can't stop it,"

"Sadly, no, it was fated to happen at some point somehow,"

"Okay, I understand,"

"Wow, you accepted that rather fast,"

"I knew something was going to happen with my brother-in-law's job, so this is inevitable," said madam, red, wiping tears down her face.

Undertaker handed her a hanky that was designed with scythes and black roses.

"Thank you, Undertaker,"

"Your quite welcome,"

"There is also something else that is going to happen," said the Master of Death.

"There is more,"

"Yes, sadly, there is more,"

"Okay, tell me,"

"There is going to be a type of disease unholy it is a demonic disease,"

"A demonic disease?"

"Yes, demonic, it is transferred through intercourse. It'll start with the prostitutes and spread from there. It will reside in the uterus and infect anyone who has sex with them,"

"What happens to those who get infected,"

"Their souls are slowly dissolved; it is a painful process, and they can never be the judge as they will cease to exist,"

"So you need my medical expertise to remove the uterus fully intact to dispose of it,"

"Yes, you understand then,"
Madam Red nodded. "Yes, I do; this will happen after Ciel's return,"

"Correct, and you would have already had your child,"

"Good,"

"Thank you for stopping by. I'll contact you again to talk with you about details,"

Madam Red got up and did a 90-degree bow. "It has been an honour to meet you, Master of Death; thank you for saving my Husbands life and my unborn children,"

"You're quite welcome. I shall walk you to your carriage," said Grell offering his arm, which she took and led her to her carriage.

Half an hour after Madam Re,d I was left.

"M'lord,"

"You're doing well with this shop. I'll pop in again at some point; I have to leave sadly,"

"Of course, M'lord, I hope you have a great rest of your day,"

"I wish the same for you, Undertaker."

Grell disappeared in a black shroud.

"See you soon, m'lord," said Undertaker in a bow position.
