Lady Sherlock Ch.1

"SHE WANTS TO DO WHAT!?!"

That was the sound of my master, Ciel Phantomhive, shouting his lungs out cause I want to join him on some cases. I was standing out in the hallway, outside my master's study, listening to Ciel's conversation with Sebastian the demon butler. I sighed a little to myself thinking that Lord Ciel was overreacting a little about this.

"Oh come now master, she is the first servant to actually figure out what I really am, I suggest you give her a chance."

Sebastian sounded a little impressed when he talked to the Earl. I could practically hear the pulse on Ciel's head pumping with annoyance. I was actually a little nervous, was Lord Ciel actually going to let me help him or fire me.

"Come in Ariane." The Earl said with annoyance.

I walked in, bowing my head to Ciel and kept silent til he asked me to speak. I held my hands together tightly and was almost holding my breath.

"So you want to join me and Sebastian on assignments? Then prove to me that you can be useful on a case."

I stared at the young lord with confusion

"I'm sorry?"

"You said that you wanted to help me with some of the cases, so prove to me that you can be useful."

"Oh, well.......I know who Jack the Ripper is.....Or was"

Both Ciel and Sebastian looked at me with both surprise and disbelief, I don't blame them, what I said wasn't something you just blurt out like it's normal. Since I have their attention I took a deep breath and started explaining.

"I figured it out after Madame Red's Funeral. Your aunt was the Ripper wasn't she?"

"What proof do you have to think my aunt was Jack the Ripper"

"Your aunt must have suffered great losses, losing her sister, brother in law, and you by the way she was overprotective of you suggest that she had lost a child before and was never able to make another. I also speculated that the murdered prostitutes came to her office to remove their unborn children, which wasn't uncommon. See that she was never able to have a child again, and women coming in, asking to remove their unborn children, it must've pushed her over the edge, thus begun her staining of red. But she didn't work alone did she?"

I pause for a moment looking at both of reactions and gathering more information from their reactions. They knew I was right, they knew that Madame Red was the Ripper, and they knew she didn't work alone.

"As I thought, the only other person who would have helped her is Grell, her butler. He would have given her alibis to throw off any suspicions people might've had about her. What really made me think it was her and her butler was when after her death, the killings suddenly stopped, and killers like Jack the ripper don't stop til someone makes them. So why would a crazed killer suddenly stop after a woman's death. Unless you were the one who stopped them, after all you are the Queen's guard dog."

"Are you suspecting that I killed my own aunt?" Ciel asked sounding quite cold.

"No my lord, neither you or her could have the heart to kill one another, she couldn't kill you since you remind her so much of her sister and brother in law. She did love you and wanted to protect you, but you had to stop her. In the end someone else stopped her for you, causing her death. Unfortunately I don't know who her killer is or where Grell is."

There was another long pause between us, as the earl got up from his chair and started walking towards me. I quietly gulped a little hoping no one would notice how nervous I was. Lord Ciel looked at me straight in the eye and smirked a little.

"Perhaps you can be useful after all, very well you may help me on certain cases, but you follow my instructions and fulfill my orders understand?"

"Yes my young lord." I said bowing my head towards him.

I noticed this look on Sebastian's face, I couldn't tell if he was pleased to be working with me or was annoyed that I got to work with him and Lord Phantomhive. Either way made me smile a little.
