Black Cat's Diaries Series: 1888

XVII: Black Demon Hound: Land of Bad Dogs (II)

That's absurd.

"Then, let us see this catastrophe," Ciel provoked Barrymore, which made him mad.

What if something bad will happen?

***

After dinner, I can't stop wondering if the dogs will get out of their cages and began attacking us. Seconds continued and other thousand possible ways that I might die tonight filled my silly head.

"Your Grace, I recommend that you stayed in the same room as the Young Master," Sebastian requested.

"What made you say that," I asked curiously as I raised my left eyebrow. You're planning something again, are you?

"Young master noticed that you have been holding your sword-stick throughout the entire time," he said and looked at the object that my right hand wouldn't dare let go.

"I didn't notice," I mumbled.

I give in to his proposal, since I don't want him to think that I am scared of anything. I am scared but I wouldn't dare show that to this demon.

Though it might be safer, just in case.

"It's the Demon Hound," Angela said with a fear in her voice before she screamed.

We went to the window and saw a glowing entity that resembled a dog run down the road leaving luminous footprints behind.

Then we heard the people in the village alarming each other about the demon hound.

As we head outside of the castle we were greeted by the four who are currently in their bedclothes and also the people of the village.

"Someone got punished!"One of the village men alarmed us and immediately we went to see the victim.

It was the man I saw who petted his dog, a man they called James.

Without any hesitation Ciel examined him. I decided to help out, since two pairs of eyes is always better than one.

When took a turn to looked closely at him, I saw bite marks on his arms and legs while his clothes are almost torn to pieces.
