We Stitch These Wounds (A Black Butler *Sebastian* FanFiction)

Chapter 35: Ciel The Explorer.

•Mallory•

"Sebastian, you'll never guess what we're investigating now." Ciel sighs.

"Drugs?" He asks.

"Murder?" I ask.

"Neither. Children are being kidnapped. Mostly at night."

"Oh, no. Not another circus, is it" Sebastian questions, interest clear in his eyes.

"No, nothing like that. But it is a group of performers traveling, you know. Singers, dancers, people who play instruments of the sort, that kind of thing. We'll have to try and join as well. That's why I called Mallory in here. We need her help."

"WHY THE HELL DO YOU NEED ME FOR THAT?" I ask, slightly perturbed at his suggestion. "Because you have talent. I'm not the best at those things, and Sebastian can't sing worth anything." He shrugs.

I roll my eyes, glaring at the little eye-patched blueberry. "Fine. I want more details."

"Well, there will be a performance tonight at 6. That's where we start with this investigation."

All three of us are sitting in the very back, staring at the stage of people.

They all seem really weird. There are four dancers, and they act like they're on crack. There's a cat that plays piano- oh my God, I want that cat. And then the guy that's been talking the entire time is supposed to be good at acting, or something.

"For our next act of the evening, we'll need a few volunteers!" The guy says.

Ummmmm.....

Sebastian smirks, and stands up.

"Perfect, Sebastian. Trying to get close." Ciel whispers to himself.

I wanna pet that cat. I get up, and run to follow Sebastian.

"Oh, two of you? Well-"

Me and Sebastian ignore him, and go for the cat.

"Oh, such soft fur!" Sebastian coos, squeezing the cat's paws.

"Aw, such a pretty kitty!" I say, scratching its neck.

"Hey! Leave Whiskers alone, you weirdos!" One of the dancers yells at us.

Sebastian sends a glare at her, while I continue to pet the cat.

"Ummmmm, please, let Whiskers be." The other guy says, trying to put it in a nice way.

"SEBASTIAN AND MALLORY, QUIT IT, YOU CAT OBSESSED MORONS!" Ciel yells from the audience.

"Oh, what? Sorry, we get easily distracted by cats." I apologize.

"That's fine. Um, we just wanted one of you to perform...?"

"Well, I'll be go-" "Mal, please, can't you just play piano or something?" Sebastian sighs, stopping me from leaving.

"Fine." I roll my eyes, and go over to where the piano and Whiskers is.

"Let's just get this over with." I sigh, and play the tune to Welcome To The Black Parade.

"Oh, that was wonderful. I'd really like to speak with you after the show!" The guy says.

I look at Sebastian, and he nods. "Uh, okay." I answer, and we both go back to where Ciel is.
