One Hell Of A Team

Meeting The Reapers

It had been a while since I had actually heard from Ciel... The last I know is he had me pretend to be his girlfriend and though I did compromise the scene, he didn't seem upset about it at all.. Maybe deep down he was? Did I actually ruin something important for him? I had no real reason to contact him, so I was pretty much left guessing.

After sitting in my chair in the old studies room I noticed a letter with the queens seal on it.. "What does she want this time?" I carefully opened the letter to read that there were girls going missing still.. Still? What does this mean by 'still'? I was never informed of this until now! "SCARLETT! COME HERE NOW!" I shouted and within seconds she entered the room "yes milady?" I scowled at the paper in my hands "have we been informed by the queen on some missing girls? This letter says we have and quite frankly it's annoying" she chuckled then came to stand behind me and read the letter whole it was in mine. "I believe that was the whole reason for the ball a few weeks ago..." Has it really been that long ago? Weeks? Tch.. I remember it like it was yesterday. "Regardless we have to talk to Ciel about this..." She nodded in agreement then went to fetch me a carriage.

As we got to Ciels mansion I hesitated going up to knock on the door "lady Ellie? Are you okay?" I nodded to Scarlett "you're not afraid you'll be bothering him are you?" I felt my cheeks heat up and I gazed to the ground.. Damn you Scarlett.. You know too much about me. "I may be... What's so bad about that?" I asked in an irritated tone "nothing milady, it's just unusual to see you this... Timid" she answered giggling "well, come on" I swallowed my pride and focused on the task at hand. *knock knock* I knocked lightly onto the door and waited "breathe lady Ellie.. It's just Ciel" pfft.. Just Ciel whose been avoiding me for days! Curse you Scarlett... You think you know everything because you're a demon "yes?" The door opened to reveal Sebastian "oh! Ellie and Scarlett, please come in" I walked in behind Scarlett "thank you, Sebastian" there was an awkward pause "so what brings you both here?" Oh right.. The reason we're here "i got a recruitment letter from the queen... Asking about abducted girls that I've supposedly been informed of before but obviously haven't.. I'd like to know why.." Sebastian nodded "I'll let the young master know right away" and he disappeared.

I waited for a good ten minutes before Ciel came downstairs "Ellie?" I turned my head to the doorway "hello, Ciel" I got up and curtsied like a lady "it seems you have something to ask me?" He said... Wow he's really cutting to the chase today. "Yes, I do. I got a rather confusing letter from the queen.. It seems young girls are being abducted at an abnormal rate.. And the queen somehow thinks I was informed about it... Could it be you purposefully didn't tell me?" Ciels face grew cold "yes. That's true. You couldn't do anything about it so what's the point in telling you? It's not like you really care anyway" that irritated me.. "I may not be interested but I do care! You know, I knew I was stupid to even try and befriend you! The rumors were all true, you're nothing more than an annoying brat!" Ciels eye widened "and what about you little miss righteousness? Do you even know what they say about you?! Well let me fill you in! You're nothing more than a rich little whore who leaches of her parents death!" What...? Is that what people say? "I see..." With that I ran out "milady?! Ellie!" Scarlett and Sebastian both called out but I kept running.. I didn't stop for nothing or no one.

I reached town but had no real goal as to were to go. I decided to walk around and then go home if needed "I thought he warmed up to me.. I guess not though" before I knew what was happening I felt hands wrap around me "AHH! HELP ME! LET ME GO!" The person put their hand over my mouth so I instinctively bit down on it "OUCH!" He dropped me onto the ground and I scrambled backwards to try to escape "get back here!" I knew what I had to do "SCARLETT! SCARLETT HELP ME!" Though, no matter how much I cried out Scarlett was nowhere in sight.. I was a goner, not matter how much I tried to fight him off me his strength was tripled mine... I was ready to accept fate and stopped fighting "Oooh! She gave up faster than I thought!" I opened my clinched eyes to see a possible man with long red hair and yellow eyes standing behind my attacker... Oh god.. His voice sounds more wicked than my attackers.

The red haired man pulled out a chainsaw and began trying to cut the man. I wanted no part of this so I jumped up planning to run away but I knew I needed to stay and thank him later. Eventually my attacker accepted defeat and stumbled back towards me so I did what I could to help and shoved him back towards the red guy "Oooh! Thank you for the help little Ellie!" I smiled at his acknowledgement but wait.. He called me Ellie.. Does he know me? I don't think I know him... He seems to be one of those people you'd never forget but I'm coming up blank. While spacing out two other guys jumped of a building to help the red haired man "will! You came!" The red man squealed "of course, I have to stop you.. It's not his time to die" what?! He's not going to kill him?! This sick bastards going to get away! No, no... I'm not going to let that happen! He attacked me for hells sake! I looked down to the man cowering in fear and then to the ground around me, I finally noticed a shard of glass.. This is my opportunity, while the three guys aren't paying attention. I picked up the glass and ran towards the crying man and shoved the shard of glass into the side of his neck, blood splattered onto me "uh oh..." The red man spoke as I backed away looking at my cut open palm... I just killed someone... "Right on time.." What? Who are these guys? "Oh! I get it now! It was Ellie's destiny to kill him!" The red man said clapping excitedly "how do you known me?!" They all looked to me "we're reapers... We know everything" what..?
