CHAPTER 3:

It was quiet between Ciel and Sebastian as they roamed the streets. They weren't sure what they were supposed to find, but they searched alleyways, shops, neighborhoods and roads.

"Why why why why why why why..."

Ciel stopped in his tracks, and Sebastian imitated his movements.

"Why why why why why... How how how how how how..."

Ciel raises his eyebrow in confusion and nods his head in the direction of the voice. His butler walked closer to where his master was mentioning, following the master's silent orders. He stopped before she can see him. Ciel follows behind.

"I don't deserve this. I don't deserve any of this. Why me why-" There was a pause. "Wh-who's there?" The pair didn't move a muscle. "I know you're out there." The sound of the person shuffling getting up and walking toward them was heard by the two. Ciel frowns and turns to leave, but the woman who provided the voice had already spotted them.

"You!" She pointed at them. "You can help me! Oh please, gentleman. I need help!" The quickness of her words almost made what she said difficult to comprehend. She had reached out to grab Ciel, but Sebastian moves him out of her reach before she can touch him. The poor woman fell to the ground with a soft thud, and everything was silent for a bit. The woman didn't move, nor did the nobleman or his follower. Sighing, Ciel shrugged off Sebastian's soft grasp and turned to walk, his cane in hand.

"Please..."

Ciel stopped, and slightly looked back. "Do you really think there's a way we can help?" He asked rhetorically, a form of bluntness in his voice.

The woman shuffled and picked herself back up, but only far enough to sit against the wall. "I just need someone I can talk to before I pass."

"I have business to attend to, I don't have much time to sympathize for a stranger."

"But boy..." the woman coughed. "I only lived for so long."

Ciel's breath hitched. A victim? Most likely. He must ask questions. He turned around and looked her in the eye. "How long, exactly?"

The woman frowned, a glint of sadness in her eyes that was clearly seen. "I've only seen the sun rise and set twelves times since I first opened my eyes."

"... When was that?"

Tears formed at the corners of her eyes. "Twelve days ago."

It was a victim! Although, what she has only revealed so far is her identity as a victim, and he needed more. "In those twelve days, did anything significant happen?" Sebastian took over the questioning.

"My mother passed after she gave birth to me, then my father followed her to the afterlife the next day. All I remember that had happened was a gift given to her by my father, who then passed down that gift to me. 'A dead human could not use it anymore,' he told me." She paused again, and her body started to shake and shiver. Her speech became barely comprehensible once again, as her words flew out of her mouth. "Then days carried on and I kept growing faster than any person I saw and I ran away and now-"

Ciel cut her off. "And what was that gift exactly?"

"It was a necklace. It had a blue heart pendant that seemed to shine when anyone had a hold of it. The chain was a nice gold." She seemed to calm down slightly. "It was beautiful, really."

"And where did your father get it?"

"I don't have any idea."

"Do you have it?"

"Heavens, no child. It seemed too much like a bad luck charm to be kept. It may have been beautiful but it killed both of my parents and I know I'll follow them soon."

Dammit. We need to go back to the grey wolf. "Sebastian we have to go now." Ciel turned on his heels and started a fast walking pace.

"No, you can't leave me here!" The woman struggled to her feet. "You can't!"

The woman reached out once again, clearly not learning from her mistakes, and Sebastian grabs her wrist with a hard squeeze. Her arm seemed to feel weaker as seconds passed by. "I apologize, but my master has to go somewhere. Thank you for your time." He let go of her arm and followed his master, only their footsteps creating any sound along with the woman's sobbing, screaming, then...

Silence.

And there you go! :3. I hoped you enjoy.
