Red Death

Part 6

"Master, the phantomhives have died in a fire, and the young Master Ciel has gone missing. Oh, and Madam Red has given birth to a son,"

"Ah, now I should pop down to Madam Red's to begin my butler facade,"

"Of course, master, I'll' send a double to take over as your grim reaper self so you don't get caught,"

"Thank you, Death. I'll' be heading out now,"

"Of course, master stays safe," replied Death with a bow.

Grell disappeared in a burst of smoke. With his Master gone, Death knew he had forgotten something and then shrugged his shoulders; he'll' notify his Master. Death can forget things too.

*in front of the Baron and Baronesses mansion*

Grell walked up to the door and grabbed the knocker giving it a good hit knock. Well, Grell waited for the doorman to notify the Baron and Baroness. He made sure his disguise was in order. He didn't want any reapers to identify him with his double working( he looks the same as in the Jack the Ripper episode). The door opened, and it was an older man.

"Ah, you would be," asked the old man.

"I have an appointment with the Baroness for a job," replied Grell.

The older man nodded, remembering that he was here to replace him as he was getting on in years and would retire after this man got a hold of the ropes.

"Ah, then you would be Grell Sutcliff,"

"Yes, I am,"

"Then follow me,"

The man let Grell in and guided him to the parlour where his Master and mistress were residing. Once arriving, Madam Red looked up and saw Grell.

"Thank you, Thomas; go take a break," said Madam Red.

"Thank you, mistress, ring if you need me," said the now-named butler Thomas.

Thomas then exited the room leaving the attention now on Grell at the parlour's entrance.

"Grell, I'm so happy to see you," said Madam Red.

"Madam Red, so good to see you again," said Grell as he bowed.

"Honey, who is this?" asked Baron Burnette, Master of the house.

"This is Grell Sutcliff. He is.." Madam paused and looked at him. He nodded in confirmation that she could tell him the truth, "the reason you and our child are still alive,"

"Wait, how can that be? That doesn't make sense," said the Baron.

"How about I introduce myself properly? I am Grell Sutcliff. I am known by another name, The Master Of Death,"

"Wait, you of the supernatural I've' heard of you from my grandparents," said the Baron.

"Oliver, how did your grandparents know about the supernatural," asked Angelina.

"They were Phantomhives linked to the supernatural, and they come up with plausible answers for crazy situations," said Baron Oliver.

"Ah, so they were your Grandparents, and they were the only humans truly not afraid of me after I revealed my identity," commented Grell.

Angelina was a bit shocked at the revelation, but that clarified how The Burnette family was connected to the Phanyomhives and the Dalles family.

"So why are you here now," asked Oliver.

"A Demon is making a mess and mutilating those around them to create chaos. I'm here to clean up as a Favor to my servant Death," said Grell.

"So you're here why,"

"The Demon was involved with the carriage accident; lucky I came in time, so you survived, and so did your baby. I could sadly not save your legs," said Grell in a sorry tone.

"No, that's fine as long as my family is safe; that is all that matters, so what else has this Demon planned?" Oliver, grateful to Grell but curious about this Demon, asked.

"This Demon was also the cause of the Death of the phantomhives, well only Rachel and Vincent. I can't see Ciel, but I have sent one of my adoptive children to find and create contact with him," replied Grell.

"Okay, that makes sense, but why couldn't you save them?" Asked Oliver implying why he couldn't save Ciel's parents.

"They would have died either why a terrorist attack may be a rival they have in the underworld," said Grell, sad for the fate of their son with no parents kinda like him, but at least he had good family to back him up when he returned and that he at least knew his parents.

"Okay, now that I understand what is going on, why are you here now?" Asked Oliver.

"Once Ciel is back and has established himself as the Queen's Guard Dog, there is going to be a commotion," said Grell.

"And what is that?" questioned Oliver.

"A demonic plague is going to arise, and I need your wife's help," stated Grell.

"So why do you need my wife's help? It is a demonic plague." Asked Oliver a bit suspiciously.

"This plague is embedded in the womb of women and will attach to anything that enters; it'll' create chaos, the Demon will be able to activate it, and the victims will die horrific deaths," replied Grell in a dead set tone.

"Since you're not a doctor, you need her aid in taking out the uterus," Oliver nodded along to this reasonable answer.

"Yes, and since the plague will start from prostitutes, I can track who they had gotten it from and remove it from them," said Grell.

"Grell, what about if the infection is too much for their bodies to survive without because it is attached to their souls?" Asked Angelina, who had been following along with the conversation.

"Then I will take responsibility for their deaths and any other death as well as your safety," said Grell firmly.

Oliver was happy knowing that the Master of Death would be protecting his wife and mother of his heir, and the love of his life. He was also proud that his wife would be one of the forces to stop the cause of a demonic plague.

"Fine then; what do you need me to do then?" asked Oliver.

"Your butler Thomas is to retire soon, so make me your new butler. I know a thing or two about being one and should be able to pick up what I don't know quite quickly," said Grell, confident in his abilities.

"Grell, I would be honoured to employ the master of death," said Oliver.

"Then that is settled there is another thing Grell would do if you were our son Benjamin David Burnette's Godfather," asked Angelina.

Grell looked at Oliver for confirmation. Oliver nodded that Grell would be an excellent godparent to their child and if they were to die, he had experience raising children, so he was in good hands.

"Fine, I would be honoured," said Grell, happy to be involved in Angelina's child.

"Now then, let's go get you to meet your godchild," Said Angelina.

They all got up and headed to the baby's room.
