(This arc is set after the chapter Hunted.)

Boarding a train with Ciel and Sebastian you feel rather calm this early morning. You're rather silent. Think our boy here is feeling rather lost. 'Will you two shut up. I'm fine.' Look kid we dealt with the light, that's done now. The only one you're hurting is yourself, however that's nothing new. 'Pains an old friend.'

"Mister Y/N? You still with us?" Sebastian asks whilst you stand suitcase in hand, "Yeah, all good." Sebastian extends his hand to help you on and you accept, "Isn't Phantomhive learning German?" Sebastian nodded, "Correct, however progress has been rather difficult." You chuckle, "How can he adjust to French, yet struggle with German." Sebastian pointed out, "Seems we can't drive the American out of you Y/N."

Your eyes widen, "You told a decent joke?" Sebastian giving his trademark smirk slightly bowed, "If you excuse me, I shall aid the young master." Upon opening the side door for Ciels seat, you hear, "This is a tenacious task." Sebastian commented, "Now, try again master."

Why're we going to Germany? 'Well Ciel thinks it'll help me be more 'civilized' with people. But in reality some rather odd deaths are happening in southern Germany.' I think it'll be fun! Ever tell you that I hate this guy? 'More than once.' Taking a seat you admire the countryside, "Hmm... actually beautiful out there huh..." Opening up a journal, you received from Ciel one day, you jot down and draw what you're thinking and seeing.

Remembering when Ciel asked you, "How would you feel about accompanying me to Germany?" At the doorway to your room you pause, "...Germany?" Ciel nods, "Yes." You ask, "Why?" Ciel explains, "Because I feel like after what happened with that Light organization, you could use a trip." You tease, "Aww so you do think about me."

After Ciel crosses his arms and says, "Simply pleading to the needs of my staff. Nothing more." You chuckle and agree, "Well yeah, I'll go. Getting a bit tired of this country, a moment of clarity might do me some actual good." That night you packed and were set to head out soon.

Yet for dinner you eavesdrop a visit from Chlaus. Hearing some rather odd details, 'Witches? Werewolves?' Then he came up. Undertaker. 'Father..?' Seems that he's just disappeared. Gritting your teeth you go back to your room, thoughts of either bashing his face in or killing him.

However back in the present seems that everyone, including the rest of the servants, arrived. Being the last one off the train, you had your bag in hand. "Well we're here. Germany." Shithole. Language. Bite me. Why I would rather! The twos conflict inside your mind gives you a very straining headache, "For gods sake..." Finn asks, "Y/N? You alright?"

Keeping up appearances you wave, "Uh yeah!" Seeing the others you make small talk, "Right, that train really split me ass." Chuckling at his comment you see Finn hurl a ball accidentally, instead of tossing it back to some kids. "Finn, uh. Nevermind." You hum a tune softly chiming the words, "How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man..."Looking up and seeing transportation ready, it didn't take long to get on the road to get to this forest.

Vibrant colors turned dark and gloomy. Sitting next to Snake you can tell everyone behind this carriage was a bit on edge. "The curse is upon us huh..." Wonder if that's what our foes said in reaction to you. '...Good...' "Y/N?" Ciel asks as you look up at him as he gives a question, "What're your thoughts on this curse business." You then be honest, "The rumors of a witch are far fetched. However if you look at the things that happened to you, hell, all of us. I mean... cmon."

Arriving in a village and suddenly finding yourselves surrounded by women. "Woah there..." You say as multiple women aim weapons at you. Well isn't this a hare- Blasphemy. 'I need you two to shut up now.' Sebastian asks someone walking up about Sullivan, and yet a butler carrying a girl arrives. The girl, being Sullivan, the ruler of this forest that your group entered.
