His Caged Owl

Grim situations

"You have bested me yet again." My Aunt spoke, we had played three rounds of chess and I won all of them "It is not my fault." I smirked as Sebastian put the bored up "Big sister is amazing at chess!" Ciel cheered happily from the couch "Indeed she is." She spoke with a smile "My dear sweet Ciel give your aunt a hug." She reached a hand out, Ciel ran up to her laughing and hugged her "Remind me again Sebastian, why did M'Lady not remember Lord Ciel was her nephew?" Grell spoke from the side "His parents hadn't told anyone about his birth before they died, since no one knew of him, no one looked for him." He spoke calmly as he poured the tea "Oh what a shame. Poor child must have been scared half to death without his beloved parents, or older sister." Grell placed a hand over his heart as he looked at his mistress hugging the sweet child.

"That will be dangerous, be careful." Madam Red spoke sternly "When am I not careful?" I questioned with my arms crossed, it was dinner time, Ciel, Madam Red and I sat at the table waiting for dinner, "I know you have taken cases for the queen since you were younger, but this is a mass murderer." She sat up with worry "I am aware, but Sebastian won't let anything happen to me." I waved her off as Grell came in with a cart of food "Sebastian is bringing the tea, I made a mess in the kitchen. Sorry for the wait." He spoke with some shame in his voice "I am sure you will get better with more practice Mister Grell!" Ciel gave him a bright smile "Oh thank you Lord Ciel, that warms my heart." Grell spoke as he put our plates on the table "Don't worry, Sebastian made everything, he wouldn't even allow me near the food till it was made." Grell nervously chuckled.

After dinner Madam Red took her leave with Grell, I made my way to my study while Sebastian tucked Ciel in bed. I glanced over my written plans for the night while he did so. Tonight I take on a mass murderer, this was new territory, yes I took on murderers, but not once have I actually been around, I would normally order Sebastian to take care of it for me, I was young and didn't really want to be exposed to such gore, but as I grew I realized it was childish, gore, death, murder is a part of life, it may be grotesque, but that is how it is so I made my mind up and decided to face that reality. I made that decision when we went to Undertaker that day for information.

~Flashback~

"Hello M'lord!" Undertaker spoke from inside the coffin Sebastian opened "I have no time for hide and seek Undertaker. I need information." I sighed as I sat on a closed coffin "Big sister what is this thing?" Ciel asked pointing to a skeleton "That be your insides young Lord." Undertaker spoke as he got out of the coffin "Really? Wow." He looked at the skeleton with awe "Now, you know the prize Lord (Y/N). A laugh or you get nothing." He snickered "Fine..." I groaned "Why was the grim reaper so bored?" I asked he seemed taken aback before shrugging "I don't know, why?" He asked "He had a dying job." I stated bluntly there was a pause before he shook the building laughing, the sign could be heard falling outside.

"That was to good." He placed his head on the table laughing some more. Once he calmed down he stood up with a smile "You get a free be next time you need me help." He sat on the counter "My recent costumers had missing parts." He started as Sebastian fetched Ciel from poking the skeleton "What parts were missing?" I asked "Their women's parts. The baby making bits." He spoke bluntly I blushed "Oh... we're they surgically removed or?" I coughed nervously "Nope, they were brutally ripped from them." He made a ripping position with his hand "A mass murderer of woman, how shameful." He shook his head.

~End let flashback~

"I oddly enough... like looking like a peasant." I mumbled, currently Sebastian and I were outside on the streets of London dressed as homeless people waiting for Jack the Ripper to make his move "You make everything look good." Sebastian smirked down at me "Shut up." I growled as blush took my face "I am only being honest." He shrugged as a women's scream could be heard "Let's go?" I yelled as I ran to the source.

I bust the door open to see a disgusting sight, a women torn to shreds, organs all over the place, Sebastian covered my eyes the smell was nasty to, pure iron scented it made me scrunch my nose trying to close it, Sebastian dragged me back only for me to lean forward and dry heave against the wall but nothing came out.

"This simply won't do. Witnesses is never good." A familiar voice spoke from the door I turned my head to see Grell, coated in blood "Grell! You're Jack the Ripper!?" I chocked up "No, I mearly help." He waved "But honestly, I need to kill you know, and I know the perfect tool to do so!" He smiled a toothy smile as he dug a comb through his hair turning it bright red, he put on some glasses  as well red rimmed, "My darling death scythe shall do the trick!" He picked up a strange tool, it had a chained blade in front of it and a baubles handle "Won't you get fired for killing people when it isn't their time?" Sebastian spoke  calmly "Not if my dearest William doesn't find out." He smirked "Is that so? Madam Red may I be so bold as to ask why the murders?" He questioned as his glance moved to the door where my aunt stood.

Madam Red explained that she hated women who would get abortions, because she lost her first child and husband in a carriage accident and because of that, she was no longer able to even bare children. She murdered them out of envy and Grell is something known as a Grim Reaper, he adores my aunt for her red hair and outfit. Grell attacked me but was blocked by Sebastian, the two started fighting Grell had Sebastian pinned to the wall, he held Grells Death Scythe in his hands "Don't you know! Death Scythes can cut through anything!" He cackled "Kill the brat now Madam!" He shouted over his shoulder, my aunt took out a butcher's knife and stalked towards me, I stiffen as memories flashed of that night she slashed the knife down only for me to dodge at the last minute, she cut my shirt down the middle right to my stomach "I hate you!" She shouted as she reached her hand grasping my throat she pinned me to the wall bringing the knife up once more "You brat! Why was my sister blessed with a child she didn't deserve!" She yelled, her eyes glanced down at my slightly exposed breasts.

"You're a girl?" She spoke "They had a girl first?" She mulled this new information over as the wall Sebastian was pinned on could be heard crumbling "Yes... they had a girl! Which they casted aside because of a birth defect, I can't bare children either, because of that I was useless to them. They threw me out, a maid took me in and cared for me." I spoke, she tightened her grip "I always wanted a daughter... that makes me hate you more!" She brought the knife down, Sebastian broke from Grell to stop Madam Red, "No Sebastian stop!" I ordered, he did as he was told, Madam Red pulled the knife back with a shaky hand and dropped it "I can't... I can't kill you..." She stepped back in shock "No matter how much I hate you... our you parents, I still can't, bring myself to harm you." She looked at me with tears "Then I guess you are useless." Grell spoke as he ran her through with his Scythe, I saw the color drain from her eyes as she fell limp to the ground. I coward into the wall more looking at her dead body his hand reached for her coat, taking it off her form and dropping it over his own "This coat is wasted on you." He spoke "Now Bassy, time to finish our business." He looked over at the demon "End him." I mumbled "End him Sebastian! That's an order!" I shouted my eyes never leaving my aunt's body.

Narrative

The reaper and demon fought in the moon's light, it was something out of Shakespeare. The girl laid on her knees over her dead aunt Sebastian was about to kick Grell but something else beat him to it, another reaper by the name of William, he apologised for his fellow reaper, insulted Sebastian for being a demon and dragged Grell off. "Let us get you home and cleaned up." Sebastian spoke as he picked her up, he noticed his master's change, her soul remained the same, but her mental state was more damaged, it was repairable, but only with time. He took her home, cleaned her in the bath, tucked her in and was ordered once again to remain for the night, he undressed to just his pants and slid underneath the sheets, he embraced her gently as she tried to fall asleep, he hummed her a soothing tune till she finally allowed for sleep to take her for the remainder of the night.
