Void Guardian
Chapter 1: His New Guardian Angel
Most Guardian angels grow with their assigned humans. Although each angel starts out looking as an adolescent. We age like humans but stop looking old around young adult hood. The higher ranked angels instruct each guardian angel on how to care and defend our selected human. Also how to defend ourselves. I chose two silver daggers with white handles to wield.
I was assigned a profile of Ciel Phantomhive on the day he was to be born. He was the son of Rachel and Vincent Phantomhive. It was a cold winter morning in London, England but the weather couldn't effect my mood. I was so excited to meet the new born boy that I was going to stay with for the rest of his life. Whether he believed in me or not. I quickly grabbed my daggers and placed them in my boots, spreading my feathery white wings I flew out of heaven and dove through the clouds. The chill wind blowing my shoulder length white hair away from my smiling face.
Today was December 14th, 1875. With the Phantomhive manor coming into sight I cloaked myself from all humans' vision, hearing, and touch. Sneaking into the main bedroom window where the Earl and Lady slept I saw their guardian angels conversing near the cradle that would hold Ciel Phantomhive. "Excuse me sir…mam?" The two turned to me and smiled. "Oh we are so glad you're here! I'm Millie." The female angel said happily and looked over at Rachel Phantomhive. Millie's curly white hair fell down her back with her blue eyes glowing in happiness.
She wore a plain long white dress with white heels. "You must be Ciel Phantomhives guardian." The male angel said and looked over at the bed as well. "My name is Edward. I'm Vincent's guardian and Millie is Rachel's. Don't worry, Ciel will be joining us soon enough." He pushed some of his short white hair out of his brown eyes. He wore a white over coat and black shoes. "It's a pleasure to meet you both. I'm Irene." I responded politely and then Rachel began to stir in bed. Slowly sitting up she placed a hand on her stomach, her eyes quickly opening she gently shook Vincent and woke him up.
"The baby's coming!" She said nervously. Vincent quickly sat up, "I'll go call the doctor." He said worriedly and ran from the room, his face pale. "Well…better get going." Edward said and followed Vincent. Millie quickly went to Rachel's side and watched over her worriedly. "This may take a while…I suggest you wait outside until the baby is here. There's going to be some things you do not need to see until you're older." I nod quickly, "Yes mam." I say nervously and bite my lip, leaving the room I feel kind of glad I was chosen for a human boy. I decide to go into the garden to wait.
I sit down at the edge of the fountain and can hear the shuffling of feet and people conversing about Rachel and my human. The doctor had arrived and I could hear Rachel's groans of pain. To retreat from the sounds I hiked into the woods and stayed there for a few hours, glad I had come in my long white dress with white lace trim and black boots. I then flew back to the manor, wondering if the baby was there yet. I sneak through the back door and go up to the hallway where the main bedroom door was. Vincent was pacing outside the door with Edward leaning up against the wall.
Behind the door I could hear Rachel in pain as Millie tried her best to help ease it. "How is Vincent and Rachel?" I asked Edward and he sighed. "Vincent feels hurt emotionally to hear his wife in so much pain. Rachel is in a lot of physical pain." I nod and then lean against the wall next to him. Vincent stopped pacing and placed his head in his hands, for the next few minutes the three of us waited until a sudden cry of a new born baby was heard. I smiled excitedly and heard Millie call out from inside the room, "He's here!" Edward smiled and saw Vincent take his hands away from his face, anxious to see his child. The doctor opened the door and I ran inside along with Vincent and Edward.
"It's a boy Lord Phantomhive. What would you like to name him?" The doctor asked and Rachel smiled tiredly at her husband while she held their baby in a white blanket. Vincent walked over to his wife and smiled down at the boy, "Ciel…Ciel Phantomhive." He said and Rachel handed him the baby and he kissed his head. "Isn't he beautiful?" Rachel asked and Millie grinned, standing next to Edward. "Yes he certainly is." The earl responded and handed Ciel back to his mother. I cautiously walked closer to Ciel and peeked into the white blanket he was swaddled in to see two blue eyes staring back at me. My eyes softened and I whispered happily. "Don't worry Ciel Phantomhive…I will always protect and care for you." I blush slightly and move next to Edward and Millie.
