Kuroshitsuji - Paula's Bells and a Run-in with Undertaker

It was a boring day. Lizzy had had just about all that she could take. She had tried teasing and scaring Paula, but Paula had caught onto her game and now wouldn't believe anything she said.

"Really, my lady- even I wouldn't believe something like that!" Paula huffed. But her foul mood didn't last long; soon she turned to Elizabeth, "My lady, Look at this!" She ran to the window and pressed against it to better see inside.

Lizzy did the same, "What is it, Paula?"

"Those bells- they're adorable~ <3," Paula swooned.

"Bells, again?" Lizzy looked at her servant curiously, "Paula, why do you like bells so much?"

Paula paused to think, then replied, "Well, I suppose it's because they're so cheerful," She smiled, "Even when things go wrong, bells will always ring cheerfully,"

"Ah... I see," Lizzy smiled, too.

"My Lady, we should probably head back now..." Paula said.

"Just a moment. There's a flower shop down here that I've always wanted to go in," Elizabeth told her, smiling deviously.

Paula looked at her suspiciously, wondering what she was up to. But when she saw the flower shop her mood brightened again. Maybe lady Elizabeth wasn't up to anything!

"Ah- My Lady! I see it- it's right over there!" She turned, but Lizzy wasn't heading for the Flower Shop. Paula turned in time to see Elizabeth disappearing through a different door. She hurried after her, opening the door and entering into a very dimly lit room.

"My La-," She stopped in mid-sentence, taking in the room she was now standing in.

"My Lady... Why are we in this kind of place?" Paula whispered and walked up to Lady Elizabeth, eying the coffins all around them uncomfortably.

"Because, Paula, there's someone I want you to meet....," She looked around, "I wonder where he is..."

"Uh-uhm.... Maybe we should come back later..." Paula suggested, backing towards what she assumed to be an empty coffin leaning against the wall.

Imagine her surprise when someone grabbed her shoulder and a creepy voice behind her said, "Hello~" .

Next thing Paula knew, she was staring up at the ceiling while two people leaned over her. One was Lady Elizabeth.

"I didn't expect her to faint! Um... Perhaps we overdid it, Mr. Undertaker...." Lizzy said, sheepishly.

"Oh, well... I'm sure she'll be alright," The other, unfamiliar person grinned, "If not, then it's convenient that you came here, isn't it? Hehehe~,"

"That's awful!" Lady Elizabeth scolded. Undertaker only grinned wider.

Paula closed her eyes again and sighed. Since she had met this strange person, things would be much more..... interesting from now on.

"Miss Elizabeth, she's not moving. Shall I start taking measurements now?~"

"Waaaah! Don't touch me!"
