Returning dreams (black butler fanfic book 2)

Chapter 3

( Lucy's pov)

I'm in the study with Ciel and Sebastian going over the new case. "People being burned alive." Ciel says. " Oh I love this case! Well not because of the deaths, it was just a good episode." I say. "Is there something wrong my lord?" Sebastian asked. Ciel then hands him the letter. "We find these events most unsavory. our course is quote clear, we shall again leave the matter to the dog and the spider." Sebastian reads. " That's an odd statement." Sebastian says. " It sounds as though she's saucy his has happened before." Ciel says. "Yes and what about this spider?" Sebastian points out. "I don't recall hearing of such a person." Ciel says. Sebastian and I both look at each other knowing who the ' spider ' is.

We then head to the crime scene it London. When we arrive at the crime scene Ciel says "having a little trouble are we, sir Arthur?". "Ciel phantomhive." sir Arthur says. "Let's hear about the investigation so far." Ciel replies.

"There's no progress to mention as of yet." Arthur Andersen. " so how do these crimes differ from the others? Or are they exactly the same?" Ciel asks. "So you do know." Arthur sighs. "Actually not until now, you confirmed it." Ciel says. I giggle at sir Arthur's reaction. "Now that that's settled, show me the old case file." Ciel demands. " There is no case file." I inform him. "No case file?" He asked confused. "Not a page. And even if there were I couldn't show it to you." Arthur says. They finish there conversation as I go over to look a kittens with Sebastian. " Awwww kittys!" I say as I pick one up and play with it. " Such big eyes, and perfect pick paws." Sebastian coos. He's so cute. Ciel finishes his conversation when he turns around he stars to walk past us "say good day to your feline friends." He says annoyed. And we follow after him. We then head to the undertaker's.

When we reached the undertaker's Sebastian told him a joke and he brought out a bottle. "What's this? I asked yo see the victims corpse." Ciel said. "This it it. at least what I could gather any way. " The undertaker replies. "That's all that's left." Ciel says as he examines the bottle. The ashes in the bottle sparkle as he looks at it.

Time skip ~ at victims funeral.

The three of us stand a good distance from the ceremony when a woman and a man walk by. "So sorry for the intrusion, I'm turner the photographer. I'm so sorry for your loss." Mr.Turner says. "I have brought the last picture that was taken of your wife." he continued as he held the picture out to the man. The man takes the picture but drops it due to the injuries on his hands. "She was truly beautiful, such a great loss." Mrs. Turner says.

The couple pass us as they leave and we all notice a trail of shimmering light as the woman walks past.

Time skip ~ later that night.

Sebastian and I walk into the study where Ciel is loading a gun. "My lord we have identified the substance found in the ashes." Sebastian says. "They match the sample you guys took from the photographer's wife, its flakes of magnesium oxide." I say. "It's use in flash powder in photography. I contacted Mr. Lau and was able to obtain information on such products." Sebastian informs Ciel. "They bought a whole ships worth." I say. "Surely that's more then they'd need for flash powder." Ciel says. I nod and Sebastian say "quite.". "And guess what? All the victims just had their wedding photos taken. can you guess where?" I ask. "Turner studio." Ciel replies. Ciel finishes loading his gun and we leave.

~ streets of London ~

The three of us jump out of the carriage and run after the woman. Mrs. Turner turns around and says " oh yes! I'll find my happiness now!" Then uses the camera to create an explosion. Sebastian protects Ciel and I jump out of the way. "She has to be stopped. capture her!" Ciel demands. "Yes indeed my lord Sebastian says taking off, I follow behind. Mrs. turner goes off singing and throwing the flakes into the air. We run down an ally way and hear a familiar voice mimicking the woman's singing. Grell comes down trying to strike Sebastian but, Sebastian blocks him with his silverware.

"I thought it was you." Sebastian says sounding annoyed. "I've been simply dying to see you, sweet bassy!" Grell answers. "Hey Grell! Long time no see." I say with a delighted tone. "Pulling the strings behind the scenes now are we?" Sebastian says moving away from Grell. "I've been pulling nothing but the red strings of fate my dear bassy!" Grell says as he hugs his death scythe. Sebastian then kicks him in the head. "how could you I'm so dainty." Grell says while holding his head. "Oh come on it could have been worse." I say. "Don't get so offended, you struck first." Sebastian says. " I only struck out of excitement, I meant no harm by it. I was only following after that pig!" Grell explains. "Your after her too?" Sebastian asked. "You two are acquainted with this freak then?" Ciel asked. "Yup he's a grim reaper, he collects the souls of the deceased." I explain. "A grim reaper it seams that you two and him might have something in common." Ciel says. "Really?" Grell replies.

"We don't have time to fool around. lets go." Ciel demands. "Yes master." Sebastian replies, And we leave as Grell falls to the ground once again.
