The Lady Shadowhive and her demon butler Lucius Dracovich

Jack The Ripper

Ciel's POV

I was standing in the alley of london.. well one of them anyway.. I was dressed in lower class street clothes and Sebastian stood beside me in a long black coat wearing his normal garb. It didn't matter anyway.. no one was looking at us, for no one was out here. Sebastian's research had suggested the next victim would be this woman, but she was not here.. or i thought she wasn't. I was growing tired of waiting, i didn't have much patience and felt rather bored while Sebastian stood there beside me. But i stayed calm and remained in my spot as i thought of the face waiting for me at my home... she was a woman, so she was at risk.. I needed to stop this man, regardless of his past targets and his tendency to prey upon the prostitutes of the city, it was still a risk should she run across him.

"When is this woman suppose to get home anyway.."

"Women of the night don't have a bed time young master... they come home when the work is done."

I groaned and looked around me as i spoke annoyed.

"Honestly these women throw themselves at men all day... and now that a man has started chopping them to bits they continue to go about their lives without regard."

"How delicate and fragile.. majestic and beautiful."

I rolled my eyes and kept looking around for suspicious behavior as i spoke.

"Fragility gets you no where, these women need to worry more about safety than about the softness of their skin or how their hair looks."

"So soft... and silky."

I glared at him annoyed as he continued petting that damn cat on the ground.

"Stop drooling over that damn cat and pay attention!"

"But she is so beautiful.. and soft.."

I was about to yell at him when a ear piercing shriek broke the silence of the night around us, and its source was from within the woman's apartment. No.. was i too late! How did he get past me!! I felt myself running and i slammed the door open for my eyes and nose to be met with a horrifying detail... Her body.. was scattered.. her organs.. neatly arrayed out.. blood was everywhere, the room almost coated in its daunting presence of red. It was horrifying.. and would probably haunt my dreams for a while.. I felt the presence of hands over my eyes as Sebastian pulled me away and out into the alley as he spoke.

"Looks like you've been busy Jack the Ripper.. or should i say... Grell Sutcliffe.."

Grell emerged from the shadows as i pulled Sebastian's hands away from my eyes. Blood was dripping down his face, it was covering his clothes and he looked disturbed as he tried to give us excuses.. But then Sebastian mentioned something about not doing his job right and that's when he changed his appearance... Grell's brown hair turned red as did the clothes he wore turn to red garments while he placed a pair of glasses with red frames on his face. A reaper.. that's what he was called, a messenger of death from up high. Sent around to collect the memories of those to die and place them in a record hall of some sort.. Yet i knew he wasn't alone.. I knew someone else lurked in the shadows.

"I know your there... come and show your face Madame Red.."

The moment i spoke her name she stepped forth from the room and smiled at me while chuckling, my own aunt.. how could she kill these women. What was the gain? I looked to Sebastian and ordered him to destroy Jack the Ripper and watched as Grell and Sebastian launched themselves at each other fighting. I stood alone however facing Madame Red. The rain was pouring slightly and only drizzled as she spoke to me calmly about playing another game of chess. But chess was far from my mind, and she lunged her self forward wielding a dagger yelling and shouting about how i should not have been born. I went flying to the wall, i did not intend on fighting back... And as she raised the dagger to strike me down she paused and her eyes wavered with tears as Sebastian shouted and ripped himself away from Grell. I saw the intent of kill in his eyes and ordered him back, my eyes were wide as i looked at the injury in his arm.. He almost lost that arm.. trying to save me. now i knew that when he was obligated to keep me from harm, that was even to the extent of his own life. However he was dead, so there really wasn't anything to lose. Grell spoke coldly to Madame Red as she began sobbing and told him how she couldn't kill me. She turned to say something but Grell shoved the large chainsaw through her body killing her dead. No.... My aunt... I watched in shock as she fell back dead the color seemed to leave her face and body immediately. I sat by her side and placed the coat on my shoulders over her and turned my attention back to Grell. I restated my order and watched as they relaunched themselves into the battle. They climbed up higher and higher as Grell taunted and teased him during the battle. I remained sitting beside my dead aunt just looking at the frozen expression on her face, it was of surprise and now it changed to that of peace as i closed her eyes with my fingers. A loud thud hit the ground and i saw Sebastian pressing Grell's face into the ground holding the chainsaw in his own hands.
