I had already finished explaining everything by the time we finished eating lunch. “You went through so much, I can't even begin to imagine how you must have felt. I'm so glad you're okay now, and that you decided to start training when you did. Otherwise, who knows where you would be right now! Up until you were finally found, your parents never stopped looking for you. They also had Chlaus, Diedrich, and Undertaker help look for you, which I'm sure you're already aware of that. When they informed Her Majesty, she sent out people as well to help. Even we went looking for you! Nobody had stopped looking for you! Then when we were told you had died, that you were murdered, we just haven't been the same. Nobody was! So obviously, it is a HUGE surprise that you're even here, I mean we all seen your body! You had no heartbeat and your body was cold!” Edward explains.

“I don't know what to say about that. I keep hearing from everybody that I died, but I'm here! It's frustrating to say the least, and I just couldn't believe when I found a grave with my name on it. How could I have been buried without a body is what I don't understand! But then, there is, or was, a grave with Ciel's name on it as well, and he's also right here. I apologize I haven't really been to the cemetery lately, so I don't know if it's still there or not. But I know mine is still there as nobody else knows about me being here.”

“But you were buried with a body! It was an open casket at your funeral! You didn't know about that?!” Aunt Francis asks. “No? I wasn't told about that, but that makes it even more frustrating now! Because again, I'm right here! Whoever is buried in that grave isn't me!” I exclaim.

“But it was you! Nobody could mistake that it wasn't you! Something had to have happened after your funeral. Somebody had to have gone back to your grave and dug you out. But how you came back to life is some extreme mystery that needs to be solved!” Says Edward.

“That could very well be the case. However, I think we should check the grave ourselves. Yes, the body that was buried was (Y/N)'s, but if that is the case that somebody dug her out, who's to say they didn't replace her body with someone else's?” Asks Ciel. “Who would have a body to just place in there over hers? And why?! It's not like anybody else would check to make sure she was still buried, right?” Elizabeth chimes in.

“Exactly. Anything could happen, especially with the underworld. And if that is the case, Undertaker should have or be able to find information regarding the situation. As for why they would place another body in place of hers, it would be the easiest way to discard a murdered person where nobody else would ever find it.” Ciel explains.

“That still leaves the question, why would they dig her out, what could they possibly want with (Y/N)'s body?!” Uncle Alexis asks. “But you still have to think of it this way, if whoever it was hadn't dug her out, she clearly wouldn't be here right now! But do you think it would be possible that whoever it was could have brought her back to life?” Asks Edward. “You can't just bring the dead back to life! Right?! At least that's what I'd like to think. Otherwise, I would have a few people I'd want to bring back.” Elizabeth says quietly.

“I think we all would, Lizzy.” Edward says. “But even so, nobody could bring the dead back. It's impossible!” Sebastian adds in. “What ever has happened, we need to solve this case. Do you think you can handle it, Sebastian?” Ciel asks. “I will do my best.” He answers as he bows down.

We continued talking for the next half hour before Ciel decided it was time to go, as he still needed to visit with Undertaker. “Thank you for lunch, Uncle Alexis, Aunt Francis! We hope to see you again soon!” Says Ciel. “Indeed. You should come by more often. (Y/N), will I be seeing you soon?” Aunt Francis asks.

“Yes! I will stop by on my next day off!” We all said our goodbyes. But before I could leave, Edward pulled me over to the side. “Is something wrong?” I ask a bit nervously.

“Actually, yes. There's something I need to tell you.” He answers. I can tell he was also nervous, and a little hurt. “What is it?” I asked. “I'm so sorry, (Y/N). I never wanted to hurt you. I-I thought I lost you forever, that you were never coming back. I know we were supposed to get married... B-but I have someone else now.”

I stood there shocked, but I was also relieved to hear that! “I'm so sorry, (Y/N)!” He says as he pulls me in a hug. “I love you. I do! I wish I could go back in time...” He then pulls away to look at me. I didn't even have time to speak. “That's it! I'll break it off, for you! You're the one who I'm supposed to be with-”

“Edward, stop!” I shouted. He looks at me surprised. “Edward... I love you, but not in that way. I'm fine, really! I'm happy you have someone else. If you're happy with her, marry her! I've always loved you, but more like a big brother, nothing more. I hope she treats you well, and that everyone else is happy with her.” I then pull him in a quick hug before leaving. “I'm happy for you, really. I hope to meet her sometime. I need to get going though.”

“Right, of course. Have a safe trip.” He says. “Thank you. I'll see you later, bye.” Just as I made it to the door, I hear Aunt Francis. “(Y/N)! Don't forget your sword this time!” She says as she hands it to me. “Of course! Thank you for reminding me!”

“Have a safe trip now! We love you.” She pulls me in a quick hug. “I love you guys too, thank you.” As soon as Sebastian helps me into the carriage, we make our way over to this Undertaker.
