The long lost lover (Black Butler Story) Sebastian x Lucretia

The store and the murder

  "Come over to the store, see if you can remember it." Kathleen said and we followed her. We four were walking on the streets and after a while we arrived at the store. Cornelius unlocked the store with a key and opened it. We three stepped in while Cornelius was holding the door for us. When we stepped in, Cornelius closed the door behind us. "So do you remember it?" Kathleen asked. The store was full of clocks. Clocks where ticking all around the store, it was a nice sound to hear. But i don't remember this store. "No." I answered. "This store was owned by Lucretia. But since the investigators were searching for her, they didn't find her anywhere. So she was missed. After then, they emptied the whole store and set it for sale. So i saw the sign and i always wanted to have a clock store, so i buyed this store." Kathleen explained. "This store belonged to Lucretia?" I asked and can't remember anything. "Yes it is. It was a doll store. Lucretia was in fact a doll maker." Cornelius answered. And when he said the line, i immediately recognized it. This is where i first met Lucretia! And then the reaper who was her butler stopped me. But he wasn't a reaper... He was Ash... Ash Landers. "I recognize this store now." I said to them. "When we bought this store, we found a hidden room. Come and i show you." Kathleen said and we followed her. We went to the back room where the clocks were being made. Kathleen pulled a book out and the bookcase opened. Behind the bookcase was a stairway leading down. Cornelius putted the lights on and we walked downstairs. It was a workplace and doll parts were on the table. The doll parts was covered in a layer of dust. And even the workbench was dusty. There also stood a coffin against a wall. "What is a coffin doing here?" Horace asked. Kathleen and Cornelius went towards the coffin. "Are you ready to find out what it is?" Kathleen asked. I nodded my head and they both opened the coffin. My eyes widened in shock and this is what i never saw before. "L-Lucretia!?" I asked shocked. The body looked like Lucretia! Same hair! Same face! I went towards the body of Lucretia and touched her face. Her face is still soft. I opened her eyelids and indeed she has red eyes like before. This is the first time that i don't understand this whole story. "I-I don't understand all of this! I don't know who the real Lucretia is, and who the fake one is!" I said confused. "Even for me its confusing.." Horace said. "We can help you with finding the true Lucretia, and even with the witches." Kathleen said. "I don't know if i can trust you." I said to them. "If you don't trust us, then we didn't show you the coffin Mr. Michaelis." Kathleen said and crossed her arms. "My mistress is right, you can find the witches with our help. If we know the weakness of these witches, you can try it with us. That will prove that Kathleen is not a witch and that i am not working for a witch. So a deal?" Cornelius asked and reached his hand towards us. I hesitated a bit but i grabbed his hand. "Deal." I said. "How did you know about Lucretia anyway?" Horace asked. "Because she told me about you Michaelis." Kathleen explained. "She told about me?" I asked. "Yes. She said that you was a reincarnation of someone named Lucian. That's the only thing i can remember." Kathleen said. "We need information about those witches as soon as possible. Sebastian is already cursed by one of them, and we don't want it to be worser." Horace said. "We understand, but we need someone who knows about witches and their magics... Give me a day or two to find out who can help us okay?" Kathleen said. "Alright." I said. "And if i got any information, i will send the raven to you." Kathleen said and walked upstairs. "Come on Cornelius, it's time to open our store. It's already day, time flies fast." Kathleen said and continued walking upstairs while Cornelius followed her. "I still wonder who putted her coffin here. Someone must digged her up for a reason." Horace said and looked at the standing coffin. "We will find out soon enough." I sighed and closed the coffin. We both walked upstairs and putted the book back and the bookcase closed. We saw that Cornelius was making clocks while Kathleen was standing behind the counter. We went over to Kathleen. "AAAAAHH!!!" We heard a scream coming from outside. We immediately ran outside and our eyes immediately widened.... Another body with the same seal was lying in the middle of the street. We immediately went over there and the citizens were already around the body in shock of what happened. "Another murder!? This is outrageous!" Kathleen said. I saw a carriage riding far away and saw the man's wounds. He was hit by that carriage and carved the seal on him. "What's going on here?!" Fred asked and pushed the citizens away to see what they were shocked about. "Another one?! I could have expected." Fred asked. "The man got hit by a carriage. The wounds looks like wheels were ridden over him." I explained to him. "Good gods! This is brutal!" Fred said disgusted. "This is the second victim isn't it?" Cornelius asked. "Yes it is." I answered. "We need to put the body away! Aswell as his blood! I will investigate the body later." Fred said. Horace grabbed a white cloth and covered the body. After that, Fred and Horace picked the body up and dragged it away. "The citizens were still horrified of what happened. If i see the carriage again, i need to follow it as soon as possible and see who the witch is...
