I'M A DEMON GIRL

Chapter Two: About Conan Doyle? Part I: The Killing

Dee's POV

News flash: late na naman ako.

Hayy. At least late ako para sa school at hindi para sa trabaho kundi mu-murder-in ako ni Kuya.

"...and that class, is why Conan Doyle became famous. Because of talent." Pagtatapos ng teacher namin. Tinaas ko ang kanang kamay ko.

"Sorry, ma'am, but I must object. Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle didn't write those novels because of talent. But yes, he is talented. But he wrote those novels to forget a certain incident when he was still a young and normal person. Before his fame. He actually wrote a novel about it but he burnt it down for he had swore never to tell anybody what happened in the incident." Pagpapaliwanag ko.

Due to a 'Speak English in English Subjects' rule in this school, I'll be telling this story in English.

"Oh. If it's a secret, how did you know about it?" Tanong ng teacher namin.

"I heard it from our family history." I simply answered.

"Well, please tell us the story." Sabi ni Ma'am. I grinned.

"It started when the Queen sent a letter to her guard dog, the Earl of Phantomhive, stating that he would host a party in his estate. Since it was an order from the Queen, he accepted and then invited the chosen guests. There were eight guests, seven servants and the Earl for a total of fifteen people." I paused for a moment.

(A/N: In the actual serie, there were only fourteen. I just added Dee in the story.)

"After dinner, the six servants went to clean up. Some guests were playing billiards and some were just there entertaining theirselves,"

(A/N: Oops! I forgot what the others were doing.)

"The guest of honor from Germany was in his room and the Earl was sleeping. The guest of honor called out for assistance so the butler and the servants went to see his needs, for the Phantomhive family was known for their hospitality. When the servants arrived at the guest's door, they knocked but didn't received an answer. Then they heard the guest scream.  They couldn't open the door as it was locked from the inside so the butler forced it open. They were surprised to see the guest of honor, dead, covered in blood. The others quickly ran to the place from where the scream came from. It was deduced that it was a locked room murder case and the killer came from outside but there wasn't any wet areas and muddy footprints since it was pouring cats and dogs out there. The conclusion of a locked room case and that the killer was from outside was quickly dismissed when the Earl and Dr. Arthur pointed out the needle and thread trick which the killer could have used. They gathered up all the alibis and only the Earl didn't have any alibi. Therefore, he became the prime suspect. The guests assigned Dr. Arthur to keep an eye on the Earl and for further security, the Earl was cuffed with Dr. Arthur. The corpse was brought to the cellar. Before going to sleep, the Earl ordered his butler to tend to the fireplaces and keep the fire on for the Earl doesn't want the guests to catch a cold. Before the butler tend to his master's orders, he assigned the other servants specific jobs. The chef to cook three days worth of food. The gardener to tend to the fireplaces. And the maid to release a carrier owl. The butler then tend to his master's order. He first went to the room where the guest of honor was killed and tend to the fire. He noticed something unusual and didn't notice someone behind him. The person behind him delivered a deadly blow to his head and then stabbed him." I paused for a while to take a deep breath to calm me down.

"A few hours later, the gardener, coming to tend the fireplaces, found the butler's body and called the others. The last ones to be called were the Earl and Dr. Arthur. The Earl was surprised to see his butler lying in the ground and covered in blood. The servants tried to prevent him from looking at his butler's dead body but he didn't let them. He sat on top of the butler and shouted, 'You're pretending, aren't you? You're not dead! I didn't order you to die! Stop acting this instant!' He slapped him many times and finally, closed the butler's eyes." I stopped to laugh.

"Sorry. I couldn't help myself on laughing it's just that--" At pagkatapos noon, tumunog na ang dismissal bell.

"Okay, class. We'll continue the story tomorrow." Sabi ni Ma'am at umalis na kami.
