Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ms Spencer huffed and turned back to Isabella. "From the beginning Miss." She said and started pounding into the piano keys.
Isabella sang the piece from the beginning, having the feeling that Ms Spencer wasn't the type to give up so easily.

At the end of the music lesson, Isabella sipped her tea with lots of honey. Her voice was a little horse since Ms Spencer had her singing for a good hour. The Governess was taking her afternoon nap, releasing her young charge for a short time. "I swear, She'll have me singing opra by the end of the week." Isabella stared at Sebastian. "Did Ciel really get that good in two years? I'm impressed. You and Ms Spencer must have the same teaching technique...." just like a drill Sargent. She smiled.

The police reports only showed the dates and the number of children who where missing, strangely, it was all young children aged 10-11 all of them the only children of single parent families. The latest disappearances recently in the town of Reading close to the city of London. Over 20 Children had gone missing to this date across England.
Oddly, there where also no witnesses, the children just seemed to have simply....vanished.

Isabella was tempted to join in the investigation, but this was Ciel's job, meddling wouldn't help. Besides, Ms Spencer had most of her time all booked practicing her womanly arts, like embroidery, sewing, croqueting dance and vocal singing. She also encouraged Isabella to make more girl-friends like Lizzy, saying how important it was for her future as the wife of an Earl. So socializing was scheduled in. She was already going to a private consert tomorrow.
During dinner she sighed, " I wounder if this is the end of my days running wild on demon chases. Ms Spencer is planning on turning me into a pretty singing caged bird."
The hard-headed governess wasn't at dinner tonight, apparently a stray black cat had dropped a dead mouse at her feet during her walk outside in the garden, causing the woman to faint.
Claude smirked, knowing that it was probably Sammael, giving the two of them a chance to have dinner alone together.

"Oh yes, I'd love to!" Isabella perked up, she was really starting to miss the excitement of the chase. "I still can't believe that Sammael can change into a such a cute kitty...." She shook her head. and looked up at Ciel."....is it really alright for him to....keep helping you to bed every night?" She asked. Ciel had figured what Sammel was from his consent sneezing when ever the Cat demon was around.

after supper, Claude and Sebastian had finished cleaning the dishes and putting them away. Sammael was taking over by finishing the rest of the house chores.
Once they where in their rooms. Claude pulled Sebastian into a long sweet kiss. " So....we have the rest of the evening to ourselves, what does my sweet little Sebastian desires?" he asked in a playful tone.

Claude chuckled. "Still sore about that? Perhaps I should thank her instead....she just saved my sanity." He teased still holding Sebastian. "but really Ciel would suspect it." Nuzzling His lover, He whispered. "How about I'll help you forget, just for tonight."

"I see." Isabella picked up the reports reading them, "It looks like that it was all single parent families that had their child taken. Either one of the parents dies, divorced or unwed mothers." She frowned. "It's almost feels like a demon's work. But it's so specific. There must be a clue in that."

Claude smiled and pulled away. "I'll make you a cup of coffee....." He said picking up a cup and pouring a cupful of the dark hot drink for himself and Sebastian. He then pulled out a deck of cards "Care to play a few rounds?"

"There must be the clue in the method." Isabella picked up a sheet of blank paper and started writing notes.
Sammael came in with their evening tea and a light snack. He saw what Isabella was writing then smiled. "You must remember that something that effects the human world is usually connected to a human, weather or not a demon is involved."
"Oh? Then why don't you share us your thoughts?"
"It sound like some kind of demonic contract.....a powerful one, not a minor demonic possession."

Isabella frowned at the thought, not liking it at all.
They continued to discussed theory until it was time for bed. Isabella kissed Ciel goodnight before departing for her bedroom, While Sammael helped Ciel get ready for bed.

Claude sighed, the game was 3-3 even, Sebastian was a tricky player, but luckily the spider had a few ticks of his own up his sleeve Glancing at the clock on the mantelpiece, he put the cards away. "It's getting late...." he said, getting up from the table and heading to the bedroom to undress.
