His Caged Owl

Dealing With the Problem Pt: 2

Short update.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dear me Baron Kelvin!" A voice echoed through the room, I looked over to see the Doctor from Noah's Ark Circus just above the ramp "What have you done!?" He stood from his wheel chair, my eyes widened and he steadily walked up to the falling, dying Kelvin "You poor thing..." He mumbled as he passed me, Joker was sniffling in pain with his head down.

"Well, I know a lost cause when I see it." The doctor had felt Kelvins' wrist to find a week pulse "I had a suspicion you were Lord Phantomhive, Beauty." He looked back at me "What gave it away?" I asked clenching my pistol "Doll. She spoke of a burn mark on you back, along with scars..." He headed to the cages "The mark she disturbed was of a cult, who branded their children for a demon summoning ritual. The same mark that lay on you side." He waved his hand nonchalantly "Tell me, what are you doing with these children?" I asked with a scowl.

"Kelvin loved my idea of prosthetics, he said they were so smooth, soft to the touch. He had surgery after surgery to try and achieve such skin, all for not I'm afraid." He opened the cage "You see, the prosthetics I craft, need a very specific material to make, it isn't a nice material to get, but Kelvin didn't care, he desired it so. We made a deal, I would make the prosthetics if he funded me, and gave me the things I needed, he agreed and we started Noah's Ark Circus." He pulled a little girl out and carried her to the center table "It's a messy job..." He mumbled "How do the children fit?" I lifted my pistol to him "My, my you are so dence. The children are the material." He sighed "W-what!?" Joker cried looking over at the man with tears and a runny nose "You said this were hand crafted! I thought we were kidnapping them for the orphanage, all those files that were sent! They claimed they had no family!" He screamed "No, they were random children, some had no home or family, others did." He pulled a knife out of his pocket As Joker cried louder "You monster!" He bashed his stub hand on the ground into a pool of blood.

"Honestly no one explores possibilities anymore." The doctor brought the knife down on the girls chest, splattering blood on the floor "They skin of adolescence is beautiful, pure and soft. Aging takes that away, who wouldn't want soft skin when they are in their late 30s?" He pulled the knife out "I'll be it, the creating process is messy, but well worth it." He shrugged as he started pulling organs from the girl who looked to the ceiling with a dead stare. "People like you make me sick." I clenched my free fist "Using others to get what you want, not caring for anyone but your selves..." I bit my lip "Come no Lord Phantomhive, wouldn't you give anything up for something you desire?" He looked back at me "I already have, but it doesn't come with a price to others!" I screamed "Sebastian kill him, that's an order!" I tore my eye patch off and opened my eye, the contract mark visible "Yes My Lady." He bowed before vanishing and reappearing behind the doctor, wrapping his hands around his neck and easily snapping it and ripping it off causing blood to gush out and over the girl, he fell to his knees convulsing for a few seconds before halting.

"What if the children?" He asked softly as he held me bride style "Burn it... they are to far gone to be saved now." I mumbled "As you wish " He kissed my forehead gently before taking on of the lit torches and tossing it to the middle, with a snap of his fingers everything caught a blaze and a circle untouched by the flames surrounded us as we left the building.

Once outside it had gotten chilly, the flames going on in the background "What happened?" A soft voice spoke "Beauty! Black! Where's Joker!?" I tiredly lifted my head to see Doll with a look of worry "Dead... dead...dead..." I mumbled blankly "I killed him, Kelvin and the Doctor... even all the children inside... dead." I went back to laying my head on Sebastians shoulder "Why! We were trying to help them! Joker helped you too!" She screamed and cried "End here... please " I mumbled to the demon, he nodded.
