Grell POV

It had been four days since that incident, I had made sure that Madam Red was okay, of course she's my BFF after all. She's was know more focused on raising Arthur than killing prostitutes. I was catching up on my paperwork, the paperwork that William didn't do. Speaking of my dear friend, he gave me another assignment to do from the higher ups.

A Henry Barrymore was set to die tomorrow, along with some other people in that area. Houndsworth is the village that I need go to. That name is familiar to me, ah know use pounding over it, it'll just give me a head ache. Its not like Sebastian and Ciel will be there.

Anyone's POV

Houndsworth Village

"Holiday, holiday, we're going on a holiday!" chanted the Phantomhive servants, apart from Sebastian who kept his face neutral.

"Who knew that the master could be this kind!" Bart exclaimed

"Do you her how happy they are, their very grateful to you such a kind young master." Sebastian commented

"I couldn't leave them at the mansion, they would have probably burnt it down or something." Ciel told Sebastian

"We've arrived" Sebastian stated at the empty land

"WHAT?!" shouted the servants

"I forgot to tell yous that the resort that the queen has instructed to be made, isn't built yet."

"Yes, master" the servants disappointedly said

Timeskip

Barrymore Castle

The group made their way to the manor by carriage, they were met by a light blue haired maid.

"I presume that this is the earl of Phantomhive?" the made asked, looking at Ciels direction.

"Yes" Sebastian answered for him.

"Welcome to Barrymore Castle, my master awaits your arrival." she gave a bow

Finny was love struck at the maid.

The maid, who's name was Angela led Ciel and Sebastian to her master. They looked around at the hunting torphies while Angela was whipped by her master.

"Who the hell is this chihuahua,I told you to bring me the queens guard dog." the man said

"Chihuahua?" Sebastian looked at Ciel with a small smirk.

"Cant you do anything right?" the man kept on whipping her.

"Move Sebastian" commanded Ciel

Sebastian did as told and grabbed the mans arm to stop him from whipping Angela.

"What are you doing, you filthy Doberman? someone should train you better, let me go right now!" the man exclaimed in anger

"He's acting on my orders"

"Who are you?"

"From the sound of it, you have already received the letter I sent. My name is Ciel, the Earl of Phantomhive." Ciel introduce, sitting down on one of the many chairs.

"You mean to tell me that a toy poodle like you is the queens embassy?"

"You don't like small breeds, Lord Henry, now that's hardly fair. Now shall we get down to business?" Ciel gave a cocky smirk

Timeskip

"There is nothing to discuss, I'm not going to sell Barrymore castle, not even to the queen." Lord Henry dropped the papers on the table.

"Why is that?"

"Because of the curse"

"What curse?" Ciel curiosity peaked

"This village and its dogs have existed for many centuries. Anyone who interferes with us will be cursed in the most horrible way. Even the queen cannot lift the curse, your mission is futile. Anyone that goes against the Barrymore family will met a gruesome end."

"My how interesting, you've peaked my curiosity. id like to see this dreadful curse of yours, Lord Henry."

Lord Henry looked at ciel like he wanted to kill him.

Night time

Angela tried to make Ciel leave but she was interrupted by a mighty roar, it was heard through all the village.

"The demon hounds here!"

"Who is it, who has been the bad dog?"

The villagers went to the castle to tell Lord Henry that someone had been killed. Everyone went to investigate who was killed by the demon hound. Ciel checked the body for a pulse but sadly there was none.

"I see it was James then. He was the bad dog." Lord Henry said

" He broke the law on dog ownership, he had six dogs, one more that is allowed." a man told

"A six dog then this was inevitable."

"What the hell?" Bard exclaimed

"A white dog is a good dog good, a black dog is a bad dog, bad..." the villagers stared to chant

"I hate dogs" Sebastian stated

"Do you now?" Ciel asked him and woofed at the end.

Sebastian's eyebrow twitched

James was lifted away.

Meanwhile Grell sat on one of the roof tops, watching the scene at hand. He had already collected the poor mans soul.

'WTF are they doing here?' Grell thought, sure it would be fun to mess about with them but he wanted a break, possibly in the Bahamas with the sun and the beaches, the list goes on and on.

"Oh, its the Demon dog thingy. What's its name again? Peaches, nope, P something, wait I got it, its Pluto like Disney. I honestly can't wait until Disney comes back. I miss the songs and most importantly my precious, tabby cat, Cheshire!" Grell slapped himself to get his focus "Who's next anyway, ah, Henry Barrymore himself."

Nextday

Ciel had allowed for his servants to relax at a small beach at the edge of the village.

"The waters so nice" Bard said, relaxing into the water.

"Mey-Rin what's taking so long?" Finny asked innocently

"I cant come out, its too embarrassing." Mey-Rin said quietly, only her face was seen since she hid the rest of her figure.

"Opportunities like this don't come everyday, now hurry up!"

"Please don't laugh!"

Mey-Rin walked out with a bright red face in her white and red bathing suit. She ran into the water and started a water fight with them. After the water fight, they had lunch with Angela who was invited to have some. Ciel had sent Sebastian away to investigate the Demon hound.

Some villagers ran across the village shouting

"It's James dog!"

"The punishments about to begin!"

Timeskip

A German Shephard was chained to the wall, he growled at the forming crowd.

"He's got something in his mouth."

"Give it to me you bad dog!"

A man tried to get it out and hit the dog but failed.

"What a bad dog" Lord Henry commented and gave the nod for the release of the dogs.

The dog was killed instantly. Finny couldn't watch as it reminded him of his past.

"STOP!" Finny shouted, he ran to the dog

The others went to defend him.

"How dare they break the holy punishment."

Ciel was chained to the wall while the others where tied to a wooden post.

"Tell the queen to leave to leave this place alone and you'll live"

"I can't allow that"

"Then so be it"

The dogs tried to attack Ciel but Sebastian appeared a knocked them unconscious.

"This is why I hate dogs"

"What are you waiting for, kill them!"

The dogs were about to attack again, however Sebastian scared them into submission.

"The farce ends here, the demon hound is a fake."

Sebastian showed the evidence, a skull which matched the bite marks on James body in the Barrymore Castle, a projector and phosphor which made the dog glow.

"The person responsible for this is you, Henry Barrymore." Ciel told the villagers

"Where's you proof?"

Ciel smirked at the arrogant man.

Sebastian opened the mouth of James dog, in it contain a piece a clothing.

"Its a piece of your clothing he got trying to protect the dog from you."

The villager gathered around Henry.

"You killed James"

"You tricked us!"

They lifted up his trouser to show a bite mark. The villagers then took him to the jail.

"Now that's a case solved" Ciel said

Timeskip

"I'm begging you please, its coming. its coming! Please let me out!"

A gigantic demonic, white dog appeared and stole him away, leaving a trail of blood. He was dragged to the same place where he order the death of James dog.

"About time, now I can go back and annoy William"

Grell approached the body and the dog.

"Move now"

The dog growled in response

"I'll say it one more time, move" Grells eyes glowed, he threw a dog treat to the dog.

The dog caught it then obediently left. Grell collect the man's soul and was about to leave when, Sebastian and Ciel appeared.

"What are you doing here Sutcliff? Are you one responsible for this?" Ciel asked the red head

"Oh, please I have more class than that. Besides what you think, I do have a job to do. The answer to problem is dog treats." Grell revealed, it wasn't his problem on what they did the information.

Sebastian caught on immediately and gave a smirk

'God I want to wipe that smirk of his face' Grell thought

"And be careful of a certain person in this village, you'll probably be seeing more of them. Anyway Tata for now" Grell warned

"Wait!"

"What?" Grell asked

"You...you where there!"

"Be more specific"

"The occultists"

"So I was"

"So you know who did it"

"Possibly, even if I did I wouldn't be able to tell you his name or rank or that he likes circuses. Now Goodbye"

Ciel was contempt with that at least he had more information to go on.

"Who is Grell Sutcliff, really?"

The villagers began to appeared, shocked at the state of the former Lord Barrymore
