chapter 40

that night, you sit on master's bed, tampering with the blue collar given to you by sweet, loyal (dog), whom decided to run his own path. you listen to the pitter patter of the rain outside the castle. "hope he's okay." you mutter to yourself. you stare at it for a few moments more. "hm..." that was when an idea came up in your head. you lay it down and place your forepaws inside. you tuck your head in through it and rear up onto your hind legs for a moment, slipping the collar onto your torso. you then shake a bit until it rested at your hips. you turn your head and admire your new makeshift belt. this'll be useful!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!"

you practically jump several feet into the air at the sound of a loud scream sounding from the dungeon of the castle. Mey-rin!? without a second thought, you leap from the bed and race through the halls, faster than you could have thought was possible in your condition. you nearly topple down the stairs and you race to where the sound was coming from. it brought you to the cellar, you find everyone gathered around Barrymore's cell. everyone was gathered around it. you padded closer, and much to your complete shock, there was a massive hole in the stone wall, letting in the rain and cold air. below it was a puddle of..... blood..? what the (phrase) happened here?? "Mreeeow?" you asked, trotting toward the mess. instead of answering, Ciel just scoops you up into his arms and holds you up to his chest. his heart was beating quite fast, and you can tell, he was slightly spooked from this sudden turn of events.

BANG BANG BANG BANG

you flinch as you heard someone banging at the castle doors. at once everyone dashes up the stairs. you huff internally.

so much for over...
~~~~~~~~~~~

upstairs in the main entrance, the front doors fly open and at once, a sopping wet man bursts in, completely out of breath, to the point he feel onto all fours in exhaustion. "the demon hound..." he utters. "the great hound is here." everyone reels in shock at the revelation, including you, who stiffens in ciel's hold, in which he brings you closer in comfort. Oh god.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this place is BIZARRE!! you thought as you crouched closedly against ciel's shoulder against the pouring rain as they ran through it, reaching the cobblestone arena from where you had defended (dog) from a brutal end. however, this time, the villagers were huddled there, on their knees in the mud, seemingly praying.... no chanting that creepy mantra from before. along side them, the dogs were howling. what the hell... in the back, among those dogs were.. was a grey and tan dog with a tattered ribbon wrapped around it's foreleg... hey! (dog)! (dog)! "mreow!" you called, suddenly, catching his attention. his ears perk and his tongue lolls in excitement. oh, (name)! good to see ya! "arf!" he calls cheerfully. you leap down from ciel's shoulder and pad to him, touching noses for a moment before looking at him again. what's going on here?? "mreow?" you ask, hoping he won't hear the edge in your voice. he points with his nose. well look! "ruff!" he says. you extend your neck slightly and squint your eyes past the rain. you weren't prepared for what you saw.

it was Barrymore... but the man.. he was.. dead. and it didn't look quick. his arm was missing and there was bleeding pretty bad from his head. your mouth hung open and your eyes widened.

the great hound has come! "Arf!" he exclaimed.
