Chapter 5: Unsuspected.
"So how the hell is this job goin' down again? What the fuck are we supposed to be doin' anyhow?" A man with dark hair asked the blonde walking beside him.
"Good Lord Jan, have some self respect. You sound like a common fool." The blonde retorted.
"Yeah yeah Luke, anyways, out with it." The man known as Jan demanded.
"Our mission is to eradicate Ciel Phantomhive and his obedient lap dog, Sebastian."
"Wait, hold the fuck up. I thought the little shit was dead? How the hell is he back!" Jan said, stopping in his tracks.
Luke stopped as well and turned towards his brother. "He had disappeared around a year ago, but miraculously, he has returned back to his mansion. I sure as hell can not conjure up how he's alive, but our mission is simple." Luke explained. "We are to wipe him off of the face of the earth. The Queen's guard dog has complete power over the underworld and it's time we put a stop to it."
Jan threw his head back in a fit of laughter. "Well hell the fuck yes!"

"Young master," Sebastian said as he opened the door to Ciel's study, pushing a cart of sweets. "It is time for tea."
Ciel sat down the papers he was looking over and placed his index finger over his temple.
"Is there something the matter my lord? You seem uneasy." Sebastian said as he was preparing the tea.
Ciel let out a sigh and sat back in his chair. "Being gone a whole year really does a number on a company. Sales have plummeted Sebastian, we have not sold a single item in over six months. This is ridiculous."
Sebastian sat a small porcelain tea cup down on Ciel's desk with a closed eye smile. "No need to worry my lord, I shall take care of it right away."
Ciel nodded his head and picked up the tea cup. "Very well, how is Isabella working out? Is she suited for the job?"
Sebastian stood up and opened his Ruby eyes. "She's doing quite well my lord. I may have some competition."
Ciel took a sip of the hot tea and chuckled. "She is a demon, is she not?" He asked.
Sebastian nodded his head. "Very good my lord, you have keen senses. She is a demon."
Ciel sat back with a look of contempt on his pale face. "How did you locate her anyhow?" He asked.
"I had been acquainted with her when I was a young boy actually, she is an old family friend. I have known her for many years." Sebastian explained.
"And why did you find her suited for the job?" Ciel said as he took another sip from his tea cup.
"Well my lord, from what I can recall, she was always such a caring person. I do not think I could have found someone more qualified than Isabella." Sebastian said with a smile.
"Very well Sebasti-" Ciel paused for a moment and narrowed his eyes. "What is it youn-" Sebastian paused as well, identify the cause of the sudden silence.
Ciel stood from his chair and walked to the window, peering out of the glass to the woods that sat in front of the manor. As soon as he could make out two shilouettes, a bullet came soaring through the window, shattering the glass. The bullet lodged itself into his shoulder, sending Ciel flying to the ground.
"Young master!" Sebastian shouted as he lunged for him. Ciel slapped Sebastian's hand away and stood up, holding his shoulder. "I am alright Sebastian, who the hell is that?"
Sebastian looked out of the window and narrowed his eyes. "I do not recognize them, my lord."
Ciel glanced to his shoulder and watched in astonishment as the wound slowly healed, pushing the bullet out and falling to the ground. Sebastian knelt down and picked up the bullet.
"What are you doing?" Ciel asked. Sebastian cocked his head to the side and placed a finger at his chin. "This bullet is nothing of the norm, my lord. These are specially hand crafted. I do believe they were made in Germany."
Ciel looked at Sebastian as if he had two heads. "Germany? Why the hell are Germans attacking us?"
"I do not believe it is necessarily Germans who are attacking us, I have something else in mind." Sebastian said as he looked out the window.
"Well then, out with it. Who are they?" Ciel asked.
Sebastian took in a deep breath as if he were smelling something, and narrowed his eyes.
"These men are vampires."
(My apologies for such a short chapter, the next one is going to be very exciting)
