He is the reaper of souls...
He is my moving shadow.
He is the darkness swelling inside me.
He is my black soul.
But he will save me.

Episode 27 Continued - Her Butler, Knowing the Culprit
"Thank you all for gathering here today," I said, closing my eyes kindly as we sat at the breakfast table. "It is much appreciated."
Matilda just scoffed, tearing into her meal and chewing loudly. "Why else would we be here? It's food time anyway."
I didn't dare touch my meal, though. Sebastian never said anything about it being poisoned, but I wasn't willing to risk it.
"What did you call us out here for, my lovely granddaughter?" Madam Beham said then, smiling slightly. "Is there news you wanted to tell us?"
I glanced over at her. "As a matter of fact, there is."
"Are we close to shore yet?" Kate said then, glaring. "I'm done with this place."
I just gazed up. "We are about five hours from shore, I'm afraid."
She just glared and continued chewing into her food.
"Well, I have some news," I said then, sighing as they all gazed up at me. "About the murders."
"Are you next?" Jamison said then, laughing. "It's about time."
"Yes, as a matter of fact, there have been at least two attempts of murdering me," I stated honestly. "And it takes much effort for me to realize that. It's very unsettling, honestly."
"I hope they succeed," Jamison said then. "You're a spoiled brat."
I just gazed over at her. "I would be careful of how you speak to me, you brainless child."
She threw her head up. "Excuse me? I am two years older than you! And why should I be careful?! Your little butler is no longer around to protect your sorry ass."
I smiled then. "Did you really think he was my only protection?" I closed my eyes sweetly. "Maddox."
He immediately stepped out from the wall and cocked two guns, aiming it at them.
Jamison screamed, throwing herself off the chair and hiding behind it.
Matilda and Kate just shrank back, eyes growing in fear.
