Ciel had finally woken up and he was in his office doing paperwork. The servants were doing thier chores for the day while I was in my bedroom, looking at the bandages that are wrapped around my body. 

My wounds and injuries are healing, but it is a slow progress. I frown at the scars and slashes that I received from my previous masters. I sigh at the wounds that will leave scars in the future before putting the bandages back on. 

I hear a knock at the door and I tell the person on the other side to come in. "Milady, the young master would like to see you." Mey-Rin said and I nod my head to her, telling her that I was coming. 

She escorts me to Ciel's studies and I walk into the room, standing in front of his desk. "Yes, Ciel?" I question. 

"How would you like to come with me into town today? I have to visit an old acquaintance of mine, and I thought you could use some fresh air. Do you wish to come with me?" Ciel sets his paperwork down and looks at me. 

"Yes, thank you!" I smile at him. My eyes wander to his desk and see this morning's newspaper about another killing. A man butchered to death and found dead in his own home. How scary... 

Later, Ciel, Sebastian, and I went into town to visit an acquaintance of his. I was limping, so Sebastian holding my hand for support in case I fell. 

We come across a parlor that said UNDERTAKER before walking inside. "Undertaker! Are you here?!" Ciel shouts out. 

"Hehehe~ Welcome, Milord~ Do I finally have the pleasure of fitting you for one of my coffins today?~" A man with long gray hair and dressed in black steps out of one of the coffins with a wide, creepy smile. "Oh~ A new customer. And who might you be?" The man, known as Undertaker, makes his way over to me, having me take a few steps back. 

"J-Jane Montfort..." I flinch when he is about to touch me. This has him pull away and take a step back, knowing my condition. 

"Ah. Haphephobia~" Undertaker giggles. 

"Huh?" I blink with confusion. 

"Fear of being touched. You poor thing. You've been through so much. I can tell just by looking at your tiny figure, hehehehe~" Haphephobia? Fear of being touched? I never heard of that before. "I say, Milord, where ever did you find this one?" Undertaker turns to Ciel for an answer. 

"Jane is from the Black Market." Ciel answers. 

"I see. The poor dear has been passed down from one owner to another, torturing and beating her without any remorse. Such a shame..." Undertaker places his hand on my left cheek, making me blink. "That does explain the bandages and your wobbly figure, Milady." Undertaker giggles. "I hope you are taking very good care, Milord. She is a fragile one, yes she is." 

"Anyway," Ciel clears his throat, gaining Undertaker attention. "You know why I'm here. You had 3 customers come into your shop. 2 men and a woman. Richard and Mary Williams, and Connor Wingfield. They were found dead in their homes early morning." 

"Ah, yes~ I see." Undertaker giggles. "You know the price for information, Milord~ Give it to me!' Give me one good laugh and all the information is yours!" Undertaker bursts out laughing while hugging himself tightly. 

His payment is laughter? I've never heard of that kind of payment before. How odd. "Sebastian." Ciel sighs and Sebastian nods his head. 

"Yes, my Lord." Sebastian gives a slight bow and covers my ears, causing me to blink. Within seconds, I see Undertaker falling over his desk of a coffin, laughing his heart out. 

My ears are uncovered and Undertaker begins telling Ciel the information he needs. "The killing was done by a sharp weapon. Something sharper than a knife." 

"What was the weapon that was use to kill these victims?" Ciel asks. 

"An axe most likely." Undertaker smirks. "The same cut is the same as the others. Same inches deep." 

"They were all killed by the same weapon?" 

"Yes." Undertaker nods. "Unfortunately, there hasn't been any other evidence other than signs of struggling. These murders are done in the most brutal ways possible, simply held by a strong grudge. Out of anger or out of hurt." 

"Hurt?" 

"Yes." Undertaker nods again. "Unfortunately, that is all I can tell you for now." 

"Then we will be on our way. I'll call you when I need you again, Undertaker. Let's go, Sebastian." Ciel walks out of the shop with Sebastian and I following behind. 

The next place we went to was the victim's houses. When we arrived, Ciel and Sebastian got out of the carriage, but Ciel didn't allow me. He said, "I want you to stay inside the carriage, Jane. This could damage your sight and I don't want you to see something horrifying. Besides, this use to be your old home. I don't want you regain any horrible memories." 

"I understand." I nod my head and sit back down on the seat. 

"We will return shortly, Milady. Please wait here for a while." Sebastian tells me before closing the carriage door. While Sebastian and Ciel were inside Master Richard's home, as I stayed in the carriage, I began to dose off and fall asleep. 

As I slept in the carriage, I felt my surroundings moving. 'What's...happening? Why is the carriage moving?' I think to myself before opening my eyes. The carriage is moving, but Ciel nor Sebastian are here with me. 

"Good idea for taking this carriage that was lying around. We could stash the cash here while we go to the next house!" I hear voices coming from the front and another man was in front of me, sitting across from me. 

"Hey boys! Look what I found!" The man in front of me smirks. My eyes widen and I lean back, but I don't go anywhere but further into my seat. "A cute little treasure~" 

I feel the carriage come to a stop, having me look out the window to see that we stopped in an alley. The side door flings open to reveal 2 more men standing outside. "She's a cutie. Why didn't we recognize her when we took the carriage in the first place?" The man outside asks. 

"Her clothes must've blended in with the seats." The man next to him replies. I scurry out of my seat, but my wrist is grabbed and I am pulled onto the man's, who's inside the carriage, lap. 

My mouth is covered before I could scream as my waist was held tightly. "Where do you think you're going? After seeing our faces, we can't let you just get away and call the police." The man holding me chuckles in my ear. 

"Hey, wait a second. I've seen that face around." One of the men outside gets in the carriage and grabs my face. "Yeah, I've seen you before~" He smirks. "She's from the black market. This little kitten has been passed around recently. With the clothing she's wearing, somebody must have paid a good fortune on her~ Too bad this fine looking dress is going to waste." 

The man in front of me smirks before tearing my dress off, causing me to shut my eyes. "Let's have a little fun, shall we?" The other man standing outside walks into the carriage and closes the door behind him. 

'No...' I whimper within my thoughts as the man in front of me starts kissing my neck as the one holding me starts massaging my breasts. The other man is rubbing me through my panties. I have to get out of here! 

I bite down on the man's hand that was covering my mouth, then knee the man in front of me in the balls, then using my other leg to kick the one rubbing me away from me. 

"Ow!" They all shout as the man behind me releases his hold on me. I quickly get off his lap nd dash out of the carriage. "Don't let her get away, dammit!" One of the men shout. 

I can't outrun these men. I'm still weak and I can still barely stand on my own two feet. I'm basically slowly running away and the burning in my legs is unbearable. But I have to keep running! 

As I ran, I kept looking behind me to see the 3 men coming closer to me. I trip on my own feet and land face flat on the ground. "Now we got you." One of them smirk at me as him and the others make their way over to me. 

I whimper as I slowly began crawling away. I have to escape... I have to run away... But my legs are numb... I can't run anymore... "If there's anything you need, please do not hesitate to come to any of us. Understand?" 

I remember Ciel's words. That's right! I can call for one of the servants, but they aren't here! I can't call for anyone except for-!

"Se-Sebastian! Please, help me!" I scream. 

~Sebastian's P.O.V.~ 

After the young master and I had investigated inside Richard and Mary Williams house, we headed back to carriage, but it was gone. "The carriage! It's been stolen!" My young master shouts. 

"We left Lady Jane inside the carriage as well." I recall, making my young master's eyes to widen. 

"We can't have anything happen to her. Sebastian," My master looks at me with a glare. "This is an order. Retrieve Jane immediately!" 

"As you wish, my young Lord." I close my eyes and bow before taking off. The carriage couldn't have gotten that far. I just hope Jane is alright. But where could she be? Jane. Where are you? 

"Se-Sebastian! Please, help me!" I hear Jane's voice, causing my eyes to widen and glow. With her voice, I was able to find her. 

3 older men were closing in on her as she was lying on the ground with hardly any clothes on and her eyes shut tightly. 

~Jane's P.O.V.~ 

"Se-Sebastian! Please, help me!" I scream and cover my head while shutting my eyes tightly. Seconds later, I hear grunts and loud thuds. 

I feel something being placed over my half naked body, causing me to open my eyes and look ahead of me. "Are you injured, Milady?" Sebastian stood in front of me before kneeling to me. 

"Sebastian..." I say in a low whisper and stare at him. Sebastian places his right hand on my left cheek before giving me a kind smile. 

"Thank goodness. It doesn't seem like you were hurt in any way. Let us return to the young master. He is waiting." 

"He's waiting?" I blink. 

"Yes." Sebastian nods and picks me up bridal style. We return to where Ciel as waiting for us and he sees Sebastian and I making our way towards him. 

"Thank goodness. Are you alright, Jane?" Ciel meets us halfway as he asks me. 

"I am." I nod my head. "Sebastian found  me and saved me from the people who stole the carriage. I am sorry about the dress... It was ripped off..." I frown. 

"Don't worry about it. I'm just glad that you are alright. The dress can be replaced, but you can't." Ciel turns his head away at the last part of his sentence, which causes my eyes to widen at his words. Nobody has ever told me that before. What a kind thing to say... "We will return home at once and get you into new clothes. I'm sorry you had to go through that. You must have been so scared." 

"I'm okay now thanks to Sebastian." I smile. We head back to the manor and I was dressed in new clothes. Sebastian left me in my bedroom in order to get some rest until it was time for dinner. 

I sat on my bed while looking out the window as the sun began to set. "Let us return to the young master. He is waiting." Those words replay in the back of my head. 

"That's right... Master is waiting for me..." I repeat the words. I must go to my master...
