Ciel sat at the table drinking tea. Another murder had occurred just yesterday and this time, closer to the mansion. Maybe, the queen was right, the killer might be after Amelia. I'll need to go examine the body at Undertaker's.
"Sebastian!" Ciel called for his butler. Within minutes he appeared threw the door. "You rang?" Sebastian asked.
"Prepare the carriage, we're visiting the Undertaker." he took a sip from his tea.
"Yes, My Lord" Sebastian bowed and left the room. Only to bump into Finnian.
"Oh! Sorry Sebastian!" Finny said.
"Finny, have you seen miss Amelia?" Sebastian asked, recalling how he hadn't seen her since last night.
Finny's eyes widened. "L-Lady Amelia?" He asked "N-no, I haven't seen her."
Sebastian sighed "Oh well, if you see her, tell her that the Young Master and I are going out."
Finnian nodded.
Sebastian headed down the hall to the stable where the horses where.

Ciel sighed as he glanced up to the large letters that read "UNDERTAKER"
Sebastian stepped forward and opened the door. "Shall we then" he held the door open and Ciel entered.
Within the shop were coffins, a coffin made to look like a desk, another one made to look like a couch and many others where shelves and several lined the walls. "Undertaker" Ciel spoke up. A small creak was heard, and the pair turned around to a half open coffin and pale but familiar face.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees?" he said.
"Undertaker" Ciel said, not intimidated at all by the creepy old guy which came out of a coffin. "We are investigating a case, I assume you have the information we need"
Undertaker came out of the coffin, giggling. "Why yes I do, but as always" he lifted a finger, revealing a long black fingernail. "Information comes with a price" he smiled.
"Yes, of course" Ciel answered "Sebastian, do your thing".
Sebastian smiled, "Yes my-
CRASH!
Both Ciel and Sebastian looked surprised, while Undertaker looked curious, the three turned around to where the sound had came.
Next to one of the shelves, stood Amelia. Her hands held some of Undertaker's artifacts.
"Err, sorry Undertaker, I bumped into the-Oh Ciel! What are you doing here?!"
Amelia nervously laughed.
"Amelia!" Ciel yelled "I clearly told you that you had to stay at the mansion!"
"Oh, no need to worry about her young Earl" Undertaker smiled "I won't let anything happen to her."
"W-wait, you know him?" Ciel asked
Amelia simply nodded. Undertaker laughed.
Ciel looked back at Sebastian. The demon only shrugged.
Ciel sighed. "Anyway, Amelia I told you to stay at home, yet you disobeyed me...so...you are forbidden from coming to visit the Undertaker again."
Amelia's jaw dropped to the floor. "What? You're kidding right. You're like, five years old, you can't ground me from coming here!"
"That's not what I meant, I-" but he was, once again, interrupted by Amelia "No, I don't think you understand what I mean. You." She pointed a finger at him "Have no power over me."
Ciel tried to protest, but he never had the chance "I'll be waiting in the carriage" and she walked out the door. Before leaving she gave them, more like Undertaker, one last look, full of pain.
"Ugh, fine! Leave!" Ciel yelled
"Undertaker, if you please, could just give us the information we need..." Sebastian spoke to Undertaker.
"Sure,sure" Undertaker replied. "You see, all these women had two little bite marks on their necks." He placed two of his fingers on the side of his neck.
"Like a vampire? Sucking blood?" Ciel asked, waiting for more information.
"Exactly" Undertaker smiled.
"What!" Ciel was outraged. "But vampires don't exist!"
Says the thirteen year old that has met shinigami and demons.
They all stood quiet for a while.
"Ugh, okay, that would be it, thank you Undertaker" Ciel sighed and turned to exit the funeral parlor. Sebastian went behind him.
"Oh! And Sebastian!?" Undertaker turned around.
"Yes?" Sebastian answered with a confused look.
"Tell the Earl..." Undertaker chuckled. "To beware of those around him.." and he disappeared into a coffin.

Btw rumor has it that Undertaker's real name is Adrien Crevan, so I decided to use it.
