The Demon Hound Pluto

It was about ten o'clock, the sky was already dark and the air was chilly. I walked along the corridor in the Barrymore Castle trying to find Angela. I turned a corner and saw Mey-Rin running away with a nose bleed from a half opened door. I got curious and looked into the slightly opened door. It turned out it was Barrymore snuggling at Angela's perfect pale legs.

"Oops, didn't mean to interrupt." I whispered not loud enough fro Barrymore to hear but enough for Angela to pick up with her supernatural hearing. I went to the living room and sat down on a sofa. I picked up a book lying on the desk and started reading it.

After a bit, Angela walked into the room.

"How was your little... date?" I asked teasingly.

She sat down on the sofa opposite and started dusting her legs at where Barrymore had touched her, "That human, so impure. If not for the Queen's order, I would have killed him long ago. So what was it that you wanted me for, my pure one?"

"I just want to ask about the curse of the demon hound. Is it true? Cuz if it is true i would be quite unsafe here." I was trying to get her to let me in on her plans and I wanted to meet Pluto as well. I figured it would be safe if she introduced me to Pluto.

"Partly, yes." Angela stopped dust her legs and sat up straight.

"What do mean?"

"The demon hound is real. but the 'curse' is fake, a bluff by Barrymore."

"I figured as much." I said nodding, "So the demon hound is real. Am I in danger?"I asked innocently.

"Don't worry, you are safe with me. I'll tell you a thing, if you promise not to tell anyone else."

"Sure, I have no intention of ruining whatever the Queen told you to do anyway."

"That's good. Alright, the demon hound is really my pet."

I pretended to be shocked, "Your pet!?"

"Yes, demon hounds only respect higher beings and will listen to whatever the higher being say. I will not let it harm you."

"Can I like... Meet it it of something?"

Angela thought about it for a second, "Fine." She gestured and I followed her outside into the dark through the back door at the kitchen. We walked around the estate and through a hidden path in the bushes. We walked into the woods behind the estate. I heard barks.

The demon hound suddenly jumped at Angela in joy when he saw her.

"Haha, Pluto, good boy!" Angela said as she stroked it. "This is Pluto, my pet demon hound. He sometimes turn human like he is right now."

I approached Pluto cautiously. He sniffed my hand and tilted his head to the side with a confused expression. He walked around me and sniffed me a couple more times.

"What's he doing?" I asked.

"Pluto is confused by your scent. Your scent is different to everyone who has a soul." Angela answered. She looked into Pluto's eyes and said, "Listen, Pluto. She is a pure being. You must never harm her, you have to obey her and protect her. Do you understand?"

Pluto nodded happily. He ran to me and started licking my hand. I stroked him, "Good boy!"

Angela tuned to me, seemingly serious all of a sudden. "Now you know about this, you must not tell Earl Phantomhive and that butler, other wise you'll ruin my plan."

"As I've already said, I have no reason to tell them. So I won't, don't worry." I reassured her.

She nodded accepting my answer. Pluto ran off somewhere and we headed back to the Barrymore estate.

I walked with Angela through the corridors. She walked into Ciel's room and I went back to my room. It was time to go to bed. But I didn't change into nightgown knowing I'll have to go outside sooner or later.

And my memory of the anime severed me right. I heard screaming and shouting and there was a great commotion outside. I hurried out the the front door. Ciel, Sebastian and Angela was already out there. The servants ran out moments later.

"What the devil's the fuss about?" Bard said.

"The demon hound has appeared." Angela answered.

"Demon hound?" The servants said all together, shocked.

"It brings calamity upon the village. Those who defy my master are punished by the demon hound. That is the law of this village." Angela told them. The servants looked really scared and hugged their pillows tighter.

We went to the guy who was punished by the demon hound. It was horrible. Blood was splattered all over him. He had lots of bite marks so deep that you could see his bones. His face was deformed.

"I see." Ciel said under his breath when he saw him.

"Don't touch!" Barrymore arrived, "So James was the bad dog?"

"Yes," a villager answered, "apparently he broke the five dog rule and kept a sixth dog." A bit harsh, being killed because he kept one more dog I thought

After a bit the villagers moved James' body away. Barrymore said as he was leaving,"I was sure the outsiders would be its prey... You've had a narrow escape." Then he left with Angela and everyone else.

I looked over and saw that Ciel had some glowing phosphorus on his fingers. i smirked, "See, I told ya." I said to Ciel, "That Henry Barrymore would make a move. I'm sure you've realized what's going on."

Ciel nodded. We went back to the Barrymore estate and I got back to my room. I got change in to my nightgown and went to sleep.

The next day, all of us, including the servants, went to the lake. Finny, Bard and Mey-Rin ran around in the lake splashing each other. They looked like they were having the time of their life.

Me and Ciel were just sitting on chairs at the edge of the lake with Sebastian standing behind us.

"You won't bathe, young master and milady?" Sebastian asked politely.

"Nah, I don't feel like getting wet today." I said and mentally added a 'thats what she said'. Ciel just continued reading his book silently. 

"Ah, that's right. Young master you.." Sebastian was cut off by Ciel.

"Just being able to bathe in this season isn't much of a selling point for a health resort." Ciel said with his usual monotone.

"Do you truly intend to make this place a health resort?"

"Naturally."

"What about the demon hound?"

"I'm sure you've caught onto its true form as well." Ciel said. I chuckled quietly at how Ciel thought he knew what was actually going on.

Ciel ordered Sebastian to do something by whispering in his ear.

"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed, said something about how he hates dog, and went away. Every time I hear Sebastian say this line 'yes my lord', I still get emotional and my inner fangirl was stirring up. I took a deep breathe and took a bite out of the sandwich in the pack lunch that Sebastian made. It tasted amazing. I want demon butler as well! but I don't even have a soul in this world, how do I contract a demon then? I sighed mentally.

Suddenly the villagers ran pass shouting, "He's been caught! The bad dog's been caught! It's James' dog! The punishment is about to begin!"

We followed the running villagers. Gosh, I hate running. Somehow I managed to keep up with everyone. When we got there a grey dog was being bitten to death by other fierce dogs although it was fighting back bravely. All the villagers were chanting excitedly as they watched. I Iooked over at Finny knowing that he was going to do something. He was shaking with his eyes wide open in fear, "Stop... You can't do this... THE POOR THING!" Finny shouted loudly surprising everyone else. He ran over to a log placed vertically into the ground and picked up the heavy logged. The villagers watched with wide eyes as they saw Finny's inhuman strength. He ran over and hit all the dogs that were attacking with the big log. All the dogs fell onto the ground and stopped moving.

We ran over to Finny. The villagers got really angry that we interrupted the 'holy' punishment and tied us all up saying how we are the bad dogs now and had to be punished. As they released the dog to kill us, Angela looked like she was about to strike in order to protect me, her 'pure one'. But Sebastian jumped in the way before she could and kicked all the dogs.

"You dare to interfere, Garm? What are you waiting for?! Kill that one too!" Henry Barrymore shouted angrily.

"Oh, what noisy, coarse voices. This is why I hate dogs." Sebastian said, disgusted as he put on a very scary expression. His eyes flashed demonic pink and all the dog sat down in fear and obedience.

"Wh-What happened?" Barrymore was shocked.

"The farce end here, Barrymore!" Ciel said loudly with authority in his voice. He then proceeded to explain to the villagers how there was no demon hound, how Henry Barrymore was making it all up to scare them and showed them the evident.

After hearing this the villagers were very mad. They grabbed Henry Barrymore walked away, presumably to jail.

"Hn." I smirked.

"What are you smiling about?" Ciel asked me as he was being untied by Sebastian.

"Nothing really, I was just thinking about how naive the villagers really  are." They are convinced by Ciel, who was a stranger to them, in just a few minutes. No wonder Barrymore can easily tricked them into obeying him.

We went back to the Barrymore estate and it soon started raining.

I saw Angela staring out the window so i waked over to her, "Hey, how's it going?"

"See, Pluto there? He is such a good boy."

I waved to Pluto out the window and he barked happily. Angela nodded to Pluto and he ran off.

"I ordered him to kill Henry Barrymore." Angela said emotionlessly.

"That's good. I never liked him anyway, calling me a dog and everything. But why?"

"He has no power over the village now so he is in the way. And also what he did to you, the pure one! He almost killed you!"

"Oh is that why, I..." I stopped talking when Angela put a hand up signaling me to stop. I looked behind me and saw Finny creeping around the corner.

Suddenly a loud scream filled the air. We ran towards where the scream came from and down the cellar where the jail was. Mey-Rin was on the floor and pointing at the cell. It was Henry Barrymore, or more accurately, the lower half of him. The top half of his body is gone and there was a massive hole in the wall. Blood was splattered everywhere in the cell. Bits and pieces of his flesh scattered around the floor. It was not a pretty sight. Mey-Rin looked like she was about to pass out.

I sighed quietly. Pluto could have at least made it a bit less messy.
