Victoria set a place for everyone around the table, she had cooked a lovely breakfast and she was happier than she usually was in the morning; wearing a smile that was sincere and not fake. She was hoping that Damon would tell Claudius after breakfast instead of before. She went back to the kitchen and returned with a teapot and cups. She set it down and walked over to the hallway that contained all the rooms "breakfast!" She called. Then, of course, the first person to come dashing down the hall was Jesse.

Logan came down, tired. Not getting enough sleep because of his worrying problem, he wasn't himself. He wasn't smiling.
"Are you okay, Logan?" Claudius asked.
"Yeah. Just fine." Logan mumbled, sitting down.

Edward was deep in thought about the other night and his eyes were closed. Without saying anything he nodded in reply to Logan.

Claudius looked at the two, they were completely out of the sorts today, "Did something happen?"
Logan looked up, "No."

Victoria knew what was bothering them but she kept quiet. She stood quietly beside Claudius, something she hadn't done in a while. She sort of looked like his shadow one again.

Logan sighed, "Okay...here's the problem. Luke wants to meet you."
"Luke," Claudius repeated. The name sounded strange, coming out of Claudius's lips. For some reason, he already didn't like this person.

"They sound like interesting people..."

Victoria sighed, the last thing she wanted was a cocky kid and his annoying demon. She really hated people like that, which explains why she hated that one Alois kid a long time ago. She listened quietly to the conversation, not moving a muscle.

"Fine. Why don't we invite them over. I'd love to see what they're like," Claudius shrugged. "Victoria--"
There was a knock on the door, just before he could issue his order.

A man in a black trench coat stood at the door. He had dark ebony hair and stormy gray eyes. Beside him was a boy, a year or so younger than Logan and Claudius. The boy had dark blue eyes that held many secrets, much like many contractors, his hair was a dark brown color.
"Hello, Victoria," smiled Vincent, "My, have you grown."

Vincent smiled and messed up Victoria's hair, "Glad you remember me. Jesse was devastated when he told me you didn't remember him. Right, Jesse?"
Claudius looked at Luke. Luke was standing there patiently, waiting for his demon and Victoria to finish their conversation.

Luke took a few steps in, enough for Victoria to close the door, then he pulled out an envelope, "Her highness really treasures you, after the King of the dogs disappeared."
"King?" Claudius stood up.
"Ciel Phantomhive. After him, you're a prince, his successor," Luke smirked, holding the envelope. "Of course, I hope you'll consider the prices you'll pay for accepting this job...you might not be yourself when you return."

Luke chuckled, "Oh the expressions on your faces are priceless. To be honest, this isn't a very dangerous mission at all...unless you're a demon."
Vincent sighed, "My lord, stop lying."
"Fine," Luke rolled his eyes. "We're going to the circus."
"We?" Claudius stared at him. "We?"
"Yes. We. You, me, Logan, Ariel, and Elizabeth," Luke said. "I'm sure you've met them? My plan worked out somehow. Just us, no demons."

Luke rolled his eyes, despite his trying to be discreet under another person's roof, "Do you think I'd actually want to risk my life by having Vincent not be with me? It's not my suggestion...the queen. She said only bring yourself, no servants. I am just retelling what she said. I am a mere jester, a messenger. To be honest, I don't even have to go, but...well, I want to see how the great Claudius Holmes will handle this. This is what you call...playing into the hands of the ringmaster, i guess."

~In the office~
"What's the case?" Claudius asked, leaning against his desk.
Logan yawned, laying on the couch, but still listening. They had invited over the two twins, but the demons were ordered to stay out of that room while they were talking.
Luke chuckled, "Well, aren't you polite?"

Ariel and Elizabeth listened intently to everything that the boys said. They were confused as to why they were invited over but they were still thankful.

Victoria sat in the living room where the other demons were. She didn't like to be around so many demons at once, it made her nervous. It was enough that her brother was added to the total, he wasn't the brightest of demons.

Vincent shuffled about nervously. He couldn't stand still, he kept moving and walking back and forth. Damon yawned, in his regular clothes, sprawled on the floor.

"Come on Luke, no one has time for your mind games," Logan yawned.
"Fine. The case. Children have gone missing everywhere this circus went. It's like the one Lord Phantomhive so heroically solved, except this time it's different. and it's worse," Luke said, catching Logan's yawn.

Elizabeth stared at Luke "w-worse?" She stuttered, remembering how bad it was the first time around.

Victoria smiled at Damon, if he wasn't her friend she would have nagged him about manors. She didn't like to nag others though, not frequently anyway.
Edward sat and tuned his viola, being incredibly bored already.
Jesse looked around the room curiously, admiring everything that caught his eye.
The room was quiet besides the tuning of the viola; too quiet to be natural.

Ariel looked at Luke with a slightly interested expression "well, would you please tell it to us?"
Elizabeth nodded in agreement with her sister "yes, please!"

Victoria looked at him "sure, please do tell it to us."
Jesse stopped looking around and looked at Vincent with a curious expression.
Edward stopped tuning the viola and set it aside.

Once, there was a man. He never left his house, not even when all his servants left him. It was rumored he was insane, kidnapping children on only the fullest of moons. Soon though, the mansion started to wilt away. One day, a young prince went up to the manor and knocked three times. "Hello? Is anyone in there?" he asked, then gently opened the door. Once inside, the door locked itself. Afraid, the prince went around, searching for a way out. Clown pictures plastered the wall. The man truly was insane. The prince found a basement and carefully went below, quietly as to not wake anything that might be prowling around. Down below, he saw the most gruesome sight. Children, pinned to the wall, from a few months old to kids around twelve and thirteen. The prince backed away slowly, but bumped into a large form. He turned slowly, the man was tall and skinny. He wore a long red cape and a mask that covered his face, "Where are you going in such a hurry? Why don't you join the circus?"

"And the prince was never heard from again," Luke said, a small but sad smile dancing on his lips.

"Of course, it's just a story..." Vincent said.

"But the town we're going to...that's where the circus is located. That's where this prince died. We're going to investigate the mansion," Luke said.

"They're going to investigate the mansion where the prince supposedly died..." Vincent said.

Victoria felt a surpressed growl rising in her throat. The demon couldn't stand the thought of Claudius going to that place alone. What if the story was true? What if his life was in peril? What if the insane man was the ringmaster? She wondered all these things as they seemed to take her brain with a pair of claws. She took a few deep breaths, the last thing she needed was to be paranoid. Her long polished nails stcratched the furniture lightly as she tried to calm down. She didn't want to seem like she was worrying too much about this; and to make matters worse her habits that came from her being a cat made her anxiety more apparent.

Elizabeth was hugging Ariel with fright in her blue eyes. Elizabeth, unlike Ariel, didn't like scary stories. Ariel loved scary stories but wasn't too thrilled to know that this place was real.

Luke chuckled, "Come on guys. It's not too bad. You want to hear something worse that's proved to be true?"

Vincent smiled, "Now, don't be so tense. We aren't aloud to go with them. That doesn't mean we, ourselves, can't break the rules and follow them."
"Like stalker?" Damon said, awkwardly rolling to the side. "I know you're a black lion and all, but you've got to think of things more realistically."

Victoria sighed "I don't know, I wouldn't call it stalking them but I don't want to take any chances. If Claudius is harmed it's automatically my fault. I don't know about you three but I actually care about my master and his safety." She stood up and looked at Jesse "you do agree with me, right brother?" Jesse nodded "yep!" He smiled.

Ariel and Elizabeth both simultaneously gave opposite answers Elizabeth answered "no" while Ariel answered "yes". The two then looked at each other then Luke; waiting to see if he would or not.

Luke smiled charmingly, "Claudius, Logan? Do you feel up to hearing a true story?"
"If I say no i might miss a piece of crucial information," Claudius said.
"Sure, why not," Logan yawned.

Vincent smiled, "Then that's the plan, we'll be following."
Damon looked at the other demons, "i don't know about you, but I'm not very...connected to my masters. They'll call if they need help. I'm not gonna spend the time following them...Edward? You haven't given your answer?"

Edward shrugged "I guess I'll go with them, I don't feel like losing Logan today." He stood up "I was planning to do that next week." He joked.
Victoria frowned a little upon hearing Damon's decision "all right, I was just hoping you'd come anyway..." She sighed then looked at Vincent "when do they leave?"

Ariel waited eagerly for him to start while Elizabeth hid behind her sister.

Circuses are places where clowns dwell. Most are innocent, but this one is different. They're a traveling circus group and it is known, that they move just before a child gets stolen. The queen has grown suspicious of their being in England, so she sent a spy. This spy came back saying that the people who work there have horrible faces under the masks, burned black and scarred. The ringmaster was the worst of them all, he would torture the people at any chance they get, but they still refused to tell anyone anything. One night, just before they were going to leave England...the ringmaster disappeared. On the same night, forty children disappeared without a trace as well and Saturday is the anniversary.

"They're leaving Saturday," Vincent said.

"So, we're leaving to see the circus on Saturday. Well, we're leaving Friday night and then investigating on Saturday," Luke smiled.
Logan stared at him, "You're a lunatic."
Claudius sighed. Ringmaster. That was the same one, for sure.

Elizabeth sighed "that doesn't sound too good...I hope the first story is not true...." A small frown was on her face as she thought about the tortured people and the missing children.

Victoria nodded and stood up, she started to pace after be had finished talking. Her heels made a soft thud on the floor as she did so, her green eyes focused down at the floor in front of her.

Elizabeth knocked on the door of the Holmes manor with her sister next to her. They had just arrived at the large mansion and had a feeling they might be slightly late.
The two girls were answered to a door opening and a smiling Victoria there to welcome them "Hello Miss Ariel and Miss Elizabeth. Please, do come in." The twins smiled and walked inside, Victoria told them where they would find Logan, Luke, and Claudius. As soon as they left Victoria glanced outside to see if Damon had changed his mind. When she saw he wasn't with them she sighed and closed the door.

Victoria started to walk, she didn't think there was need to take a carriage cosiddering they weren't humans and had no use for it. She looked over her shoulder at the other 3 demons, if you asked them they may say they don't truly care about their masters but if you knew them then you would know that they really do. She gave a small smile and picked up the pace as she padded along.

Damon smiled, "It's just how I roll. If they called I'll be there to help them, but I'm used to living on three meals a day. I'm actually waiting for one now. Somewhere that way," Damon pointed left of where he was sitting. "James doesn't like me taking souls, but we have an understanding. If I get there just before he catches them, I get my meal and he won't yell at me."
Vincent rolled his eyes despite himself, "What if your mistresses die before you can get there? What would you do then?"
"That won't happen," Damon appeared before Vincent in the blink of an eye, "because I travel through the shadows and I'm as stealthy as...well, more so than a lion. Plus, have you ever seen a child let their toys get harmed?"

Victoria winced at the thought of eating souls then sighed "what if they don't have time to call you? What if they are killed the second after they say your name? What's more important Damon?" She folded her arms and stared up at him. She was probably the most defiant of the 5 demons but she was still the shortest. All the other demons were much taller than her, though it did nothing to intimidate her.

Damon chuckled and touched Victoria's cheek, not affectionately but with threat, "When you have a strong enough connection...you will know when they need you most. You'll feel feverish. You won't feel well. You won't have an appetite. You'll have to check on them no matter how hard you try to resist."
Damon turned to Vincent and the other three, "If you haven't had a contract before and it's most...tender. Of course, it's not my first, but it is in a while. I'll know when something is..." Damon stood up straight and looked about, "They arrived....and my late night snack has too. I'll catch up with you guys if I remember."
