A/N: The picture in the top is how I imagined Johann to look.

Chapter 3:

(Alois POV)

"Your highness, please wake up." I heard Claude say. I slowly woke up, still tired. I sat up on my bed and waited for Claude to dress me.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"8:30am." Claude replied. I nodded.

*timeskip bright to you by Jyugo's lock opening skills!*

I walked out of my room, and remembered that we were staying at Name's house.
"Johann! Why won't you let me go to the forest?" I heard someone ask. It sounded like Name, but more confident. Surely it wasn't Name, he was very shy and nervous.
"Young Earl, I'm afraid your allergic to cats (sorry if your not - I am... *Sniff* 😢I love cats!) and you can't touch them, even if you do love them a lot. I know me you'll go searching for stray cats if I let you go to the woods." Johann replied. I turned around into the dining room and saw Name pouting. He turned around and saw me.
"A-ah! Lord Trancy. What do you want to eat for breakfast? We have Smoked Mackerel accompanied with either a salad, smoked haddock pie, or scones? Oh, and we have Oolong tea, Green Tea, and Earl Grey, what would you like?" Name asked.
"Sorry but I'm gonna have to go. I have a meeting soon and I'm gonna get late if I do t go now. I'm sorry, but maybe next time." I said.
"E-eh? You too? Earl Phantomhive also had to leave early. He didn't eat breakfast either." Name whispered, sadly.
'Ciel already left?' I thought, as I walked out the L/name mansion, and towards my carriage.

(Name POV)

I was sad that our guests had to leave so soon, but they were busy. I mean, why wouldn't they be? They were both quite famous!
"Young master. A letter from the queen has arrived." My maid, Anne yelled worriedly as she walked up to me.
"Her highness has a job for me?" I asked, surprised. She usually never asks me to help. I opened the letter and read it.

To The Queen's Kitten, Earl Name L/Name,
I, the Queen, want you to investigate the case of 'the legendary killer barber' who has killed many innocent civilians in London's Fleet Street. His name is Sweeny Todd. I need your help. I need you to work with the Guard dog and the Spider. Together, you three must stop this murderer at once! I would like you to get to work immediately!
From her highness,
The Queen of England,
Queen Victoria.

(Quick A/N - I know this technically happened in the 1920s/1930s, but let's just pretend it happened in the 1890s)

Just as I finished reading the letter, i heard a knock on he door. Anne opened the door.
"Excuse me, but is this the L/name residence?" A man said, laughing. He was a lean man, with long gray hair and a single braid on his right side. He had chartreuse phosphorescent eyes and extensive black fingernails. He also had a noticeable scar across his face, neck, and left pinky finger. His robe was predominantly black; additionally, his attire included an incredibly long top hat, and a gray scarf strapped across his chest and knotted by the hips. He wore an emerald ring on his left index finger; he wore a band of prayer beads around his neck, and he also wore a chain with six mourning lockets around his hip. He looked like a Funeral mute.
"Is L/name Name here?" He asked.
"Y-yes Young Master is here. Would you like to meet him?" Anne asked the mysterious man. He nodded.
"Is something wrong?" I asked Anne. She shook her head.
"No Young Master. Someone would like to see you though." She said. I looked at the guest and smiled.
"Please come in." I said. He followed me in.
"I'm Name, it's nice to meet you." I said.
"He he he. I'm undertaker. I'd like to speak to you." The man said
"What would you like to speak to me about?" I asked him.
"He he he! Tell me a joke and I'll tell you." He said. I tilted my head sideways in confusion. My butler, Cecil saw my confusion and walked up to us.
"Let me handle this M'lord." Cecil said.

*timsekip to after Undertaker laughs*

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Your really funny!" Undertaker said, "Alright I'll tell you why I'm here. Ciel Phantomhive sent me to invite you and Alois to his manor to speak about the mission you've been given." He said.
"When do we go?" I asked.
"Tomorrow, 5pm. He he he. I'll go now!" Undertaker said, still laughing. I thanked Undertaker before he left and went into my study.
"Undertaker? He's friendly." I said to myself.
"Yes Young Lord, but he is a Reaper. You know we Demons don't get along with Reapers. We don't know if he was lying or not either. I'm not sure about the meeting tomorrow." Nathaniel- my other butler and Cecil's twin- answered from behind me.
"I think it's alright to trust him. He wouldn't lie about something so important. Besides, not many people believe in the legend of the killer barber, and barely anyone knows of it." I replied.
"It's getting late. You'd better go to bed, Young Lord." Nathaniel told me. I nodded and went to bed.

(Ciel POV)

I looked at the time. It was 11:30pm. I had a lot of paper work to do so couldn't keep track of time, but now I realised how late it was. I yawned and decided to go to bed. Its gonna be a big da tomorrow, I get to meet the Queen's Kitten in person. Hope I get along with him well.

A young girl ran. She ran and ran. She was being followed by a  man.
"Oi! Get back here! You can't go around stealing bread like that!" He yelled. The girl ignored him and ran faster. She ran into an alleyway. Unfortunately it was a dead end.
"Now I've got you!" The man yelled.  As he got closer to the girl, he took a knife out of his pocket.
"Girl's shouldn't be such rude theives. I'll teach ya a lesson for stealing from me!" He said. The girl looked down, her (h/c) hair covering her face. The man got closer to the girl. He swung his knife and aimed for the girl's neck. His knife was just millimetres away from the girl's neck. He stopped. The girl smirked. The mans coughed up blood and looked down at his stomach. The girl and stabbed him with a knife she had hidden in her dress pocket.
"Don't underestimate me just 'cause I'm a girl!" She said, before she jumped up onto game roof of the house that had blocked her way earlier. She ran away, jumping from roof to roof, forgetting about the man that she had killed mere seconds ago. She only had one thought in her mind 
'Life is a game, all you need to know is how to win.'
