Avenging Annie (Black Butler FanFic) ~Book One~

Busted!

The next day, we all sat at the table, eating quietly. Grell, the only one who hadn't been there, had stumbled inside when we had finished our meal.

"Where've you been, Mr. Sutcliffe?" Ronald mumured, taking the last bite of his scone.

"You should know!" He snapped, flopping into a chair. "Didn't you know? Another victim was killed last night. I had to retrieve his soul and rewind his memories."

"Did you find anything else out?" I asked quietly. Annie tensed, though nobody but myself noticed.

"Yes, I did, actually." He began. "This victim has been the first to have seen his killer before he died. Or at least the silouhette. According to the words he said right before he died, those being, 'How could a little twelve year old girl do this to me?!", the killer is a twelve year old female."

Annie. It was Annie.

"What was the name of this victim?" Ciel asked.

"Charles Brendon." He replied.

At that, I definatly knew this had been Annie. She stared at him, like he had committed a crime himself. I stood up reluctantly, walking back to Ciel's room.

"Ms. Hart, where are you going?" Sebastian asked warily.

"The bathroom. By the way, there wasn't any wiping issue in there this morning. Follow me, please." I answered. He nodded and walked up with me. When we got up the stairs, out of their veiws, he stopped me.

"Where are you actually going?" He whispered.

"Ciel's room... I have something to show you. Come on!" I replied, racing down to Ciel's room. He followed behind slowly.

I entered and grabbed Annie's bag, opening it slowly. Sebastian stared at me, confused as I pulled out her pad. I looked at it and read the top, which read, "Target's List." I handed it too him and showed him.

"These are all the names of the victims and targets. Look at how the first four names are our victimes, and have the word "EXTERMINATED" written beside it." I pointed out.

"How long have you known about this?" He asked, quite shocked.

"Since last night. I overheard her talking to herself about how she killed Charles Brendon, and how she would kill the next victim tomorrow. She's the killer!" I squeaked.

"Who is?" I heard Ciel whisper. Sebastian and I turned our heads to see the rest of them standing at the doorway.

"Young Master, Ms. Hart has cracked the case." Sebastian stated plainly.

"Who's the k-killer then?!" Annie asked me.

"Well?" Ciel replied.

Sebastian pointed straight at Annie. She dropped her jaw and looked behind her, where nobody stood. "Annette Hart. You are the killer of these men."
