Tainted (Sebastian x Reader's Butler x Reader x Ciel)

The Next Victim

Ciel's POV

You gritted your teeth at the sight of Sebastian hugging (F/N). You didn't want anyone to know of your feelings towards her, and so you stayed quiet.

Twenty seconds later, the whole ground shook as the sign fell off the shop. The door opened.

"You may come back in." Damien bowed as you all reentered.

Undertaker was lying over a coffin with his arms limply over the side. He rolled on to his back and tried to catch his breath.

"That was the best joke I've ever heard! Sebastian, you have some competition~" He said in a singsong voice, sitting up. He stood up lazily and walked over to his cupboard, pulling out a jar of dog biscuits.

"Now then, can you tell us about a connection between all of the deaths?" You asked him. Undertaker smiled and swallowed a piece of his biscuit.

"Have you not figured it out yet, Earl?" He wondered out loud. You looked at him questioningly.

"Figured out what?"

"The killer is a Butler, that's for sure." (F/N) piped up, recalling the notes. "And I think I know a possible connection, however I need some information." She stated.

You loved how serious she was about her job as the Queens Cat. She stood and awaited Undertaker's approval. Undertaker looked at her and smiled before standing in front of her and bending his body to reach her height.

"What information is that, Mistress Grimm?" He asked, stroking her face with one of her nails.

"I need to know what was going on inside the manors at the time... AND CAN YOU GET OFF MY FACE?!" She yelled at him. Undertaker laughed and looked her cheek.

"You make me laugh, Missy. For that, I will tell you exactly what was going on." Undertaker smiled before sitting on the floor with his legs crossed.

"Each Manor was trying out for new servants." He began, smiling at (F/N)'s shocked face.

"So was I." She told him, looking up at you and Sebastian. "So if my thoughts are right, tell me, okay."

"I shall." He smirked, rocking back and forth.

"So this Butler was trying out for a new position."

"Correct." He smirked.

"He was being asked too much from the owner."

"Correct again." Undertaker twiddled his hair with his fingers.

"The owner shouted at him. That would explain the cutting out of the tongues."

"You're good, Missy." Undertaker smiled again.

"With all of the notes we have found, I would say that there would need to be one more. One more murder. However, there were no more Manors requesting servants." You added.

(F/N) looked down at the floor and stroked her chin lightly, thinking of what could have happened next. Her eyes suddenly widened as her hand dropped to her side.

"I think she's got it~" Undertaker sang. You watched (F/N) and waited for an answer.

"Then that means..." She looked up at Undertaker who nodded and picked a biscuit. "I am to be the next victim...?"

"Correct."

Damien's POV

You nearly punched Undertaker at the news, even though it wasn't his fault. Your Master was going to be the next victim? That was never going to happen.

"I think it's about time we depart and return to the mansion." Ciel briskly waved at Undertaker and walked out of the shop. (F/N) was frozen on the spot.

"Master, you're going to be fine." You reassured her, holding her shoulder. She looked up at you with cold eyes, although you could have sworn that you saw sadness filling the pupils.

She turned away and moved my hand, following Ciel and Sebastian onto the carriage. She didn't ask for your help to get in the carriage, and so you closed the door and sat up at the reigns with Sebastian.

You sighed and Sebastian drove off.
