The Butler's Kitten -Black Butler

Chapter 10- A Village Full of Dogs and a Cat

"Resort! Resort Resort!"

"Do you idiots know the meaning of 'shut the hell up'?"

The servants screamed and backed away from me as I sprung up from where I had been trying in vain to take a nap. Just yesterday Ceil told us that we would be taking a little road trip into a resort managed by the queen. The servants had been excitedly chanting for over an hour and after begging Ceil to drop them on the side of the road, he told me to try and take a nap.

It didn't work.

"Isn't this wonderful, Mey-Rin?" Finny said, ignoring my irritation.

"Yes, Yes!" Mey Rin squealed, putting her hands to her face, "I can't believe he's taking us with him to the Queen's health resort!"

I lied back down and grumbled to myself. "That's cause the brat's to stuck up to actually do it. I can't wait until we realize we're stuck in the middle of no where. "

"Lighten up Alexandra!" Bard said as I scooted away from him when he tried to touch me, "Even the young master has his good points!"

I did a mixture of a scoff and laugh uncaring that Ceil was literally three feet in front of me and could hear everything I was saying. Ceil shoved me in this rickety wagon with these imbeciles so I was going to make sure he was going to feel my annoyance.

Being with the servants all day was mentally draining and Ceil refused to let me crash in his carriage with him. Instead, Ceil was sitting cushy in his cart with the butler driving while I was stuck in the servants cart.

"This would seem to be the entrance to the village."

I looked over at Sebastian driving the first carriage. Ever since my bother and generals had come to visit for Thanksgiving, Sebastian had been acting odd. For the first few days afterwards, he seemed to take every opportunity to avoid me. After about a week or so, he went back to his usual snarky self and we were back at each other's throats.

For some reason I was getting a really uneasy feeling about coming to this town and the two bumbling idiots in the front carriage wouldn't give me any details. It didn't take me long to realize why I was getting a bad feeling.

Some ways off, a dead tree stood with animal carcasses littered around the bottom. The worrying part was not the rotting animals, but instead the very obvious dog collars that hung from the tree.

"I forgot to tell you one thing," Ceil said as the servants screamed, "this is the planned construction site for the resort."

"Yup and there's the catch I was waiting for. It doesn't need to be said but I'm going to say it anyway.... TOLD YOU SO!" I hopped off the carriage and onto the floor as the servants looked at Ceil sadly. "Now if you excuse me I'm walking home. Hopefully I get lost on the way back and get eaten by an animal. Anyways, see you never!"

"Get back in the carriage Alexandra." Ceil ordered, without turning back to look at me.

I glared at the back of his head and didn't acknowledge the glance Sebastian gave to Ceil before turning back around. I knew those two were hiding something but sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I hopped back on before the carriage started and let my feet dangle off the edge before unceremoniously skidding next to Mey Rin. I flopped back into my position and groaned loudly enough that the two assholes in the front carriage could hear me. The carriage jolted forward and we started up again. We didn't get too far.

"Hey, I found the first villager!" Finny proclaimed, breaking the silence, "Stop the carriage Tanaka!"

"Phantomhive," I called. "Your servant is going to go accost some weird old lady."
