Black Demon's Witness (Black butler fanfic)

Chapter 19: Undertakers and Kittens

Matilda came out of the dressing room and spun around happily. "It's pretty!" She said flaunting the beautiful red dress. A ribbon was around the waist of the dress and the bottom was laced in black. Matilda looked adorable and I couldn't help but smile at her. "It is beautiful on you." I said. We looked in our clothing company and found an area for the little girls. Maddie and I have been here for an hour enjoying Matilda try on the little dresses we had. "Have you decided which one you like?" Maddie asked. Matilda thought for a moment and looked at me. "I want the gold one!" She squealed. I blushed. She chose the color I was wearing, and I smiled at her decision. We packed up the gold dress and took it home. As Maddie and Matilda bonded with each other, I walked behind them and smiled. "You seem a lot happier with Matilda around." I heard Sebastian say. I turned around and saw his smiling face beside me. "Yeah, I guess." I replied. I looked down at the cement walkway and thought about earlier at what Grell said. "Sebastian, who is this Undertaker?" I asked. Sebastian sighed and turned to me. I stopped walking and looked at him patiently waiting an answer. "He's a legendary grim reaper, who past judgement on Robin Hood and sent Marie Antoinette to hell. Quite an expert I may say." Finally getting my answer I felt a lift off my shoulders. "I want to meet him." I said and Sebastian looked at me with surprise. "Now, Jae?" He asked. I nodded. He lead the way to a little shop in the town and I looked at the building. The purple sign was captioned in black: Undertaker. Sebastian opened the door and I walked in. The room was dark and I stood still. "Welcome, Madame Jallerie." I heard a low voice echo in the room. Suddenly a dim light came on, and I stepped towards a seat with Sebastian at my side. A man with long silver hair over his eyes came out of a coffin with a big grin on his face. "Hello~." He said and stepped out of the coffin. He wore a black cloak and had a pair of black shoes. His face cherished a scar that was diagonal over his nose and another scar was around his neck as if he was decapitated when he died and stitched it back on. "What a surprise to see you again, Sebastian." Undertaker said and Sebastian smiled at the floor. "My, looks as if you found a new soul." Undertaker came up to me and came at least three inches in front of my face. "She's beautiful. You sure you were only interested in her soul?" Undertaker grabbed my chin, and I felt a painful bolt execute my body. I quickly swatted his hand away and frowned. "I am here to chat with you, if it's not in your way." I said. He sat on a green chest that was sitting across from me and laughed under his breath. "I'll tell you anything for free this once, for next time I'll need something amusing in exchange of talk." He said this with his head tilted to the side. Something amusing? What does he want me to do, stab myself?

"Okay, We actually need some help with a murder case." I said and gave him the three photos. Undertaker looked at all three of them and sighed with a smile. "I see. I might have some information on how to catch the one behind this." I listened carefully to the Undertaker.

"With just one word, people order these items for selfish reasons. Possibly to 'finish' off a job without doing anything." The Undertaker disappeared, and I searched the room with my eyes. Suddenly he appeared behind me and giggled quietly. "First, they buy the supplies, and choose who to use it on. Then the one who does the job will lure them into the alley using a hypnotism ring." I looked at the picture of the black ring and listened to his words closely. "Next they grab a hold of the victim and inject the poison in them through the neck." Undertaker poked two immensely large black fingernails into my neck, displaying how it was done. I laughed at his touch, for I was very ticklish in my neck area. I pushed his hand off and stopped laughing.

"But how do they do it? The marks are too wide for a regular needle injection." I asked and watched the Undertaker as he slowly sat down on the chest again.

"It was no needle used in this case. It was possibly a snake's bite. They could have set the poison into the snake's venom glands and have the little creature bite the victim on the neck. Then-"
