Chapter 4: Guardian Angel Rumor

Layla intruded the room. Much to the priest's surprise Layla walked to the front of his desk and crossed her arms in front of her.

"I see the communion wine wasn't enough." She smiled devilish at the priest who was holding a bottle of whisky over a glass cup. He was just about to pour it seconds before she kicked the door open. The priest sighed in defeat.

"I'm amazed you're here so early usually you wait until the very last minute to send your donation in." the priest raised his eyebrows when he noticed the people at the door. "Come in, come in, this little Devil here has already made it passed the door so it's alright if the rest of you enter as well." The priest twisted the cap back on to the bottle of whisky and opened his desk drawer before he could hide it the abbess Jean caught sight of it.

"FATHER MCGUIL!" Abbess Jean shouted at the priest. The priest dropped it into the drawer.

"It's apple juice."The priest lied with a straight face. Abbess Jean produced a yard long ruler from her robes sleeves and smacked him upside the head with it. She then walked over to his desk and confiscated his bottle.

"Damn." He let the words slip from his mouth. The abbess glared at him. The priest cleared his throat. "So… You are all here donating today?"

Ciel was in disbelief. How could a man like this be a priest? More over how did they all seem to know Layla so well? Before Ciel could ask his question Lizzie asked it first.

"How is it that you all know Layla?" Lizzie said with a slight tone of annoyance. She was obviously upset about not knowing things about her own friend.

'So ,not even Lizzie knows much about her.' Ciel concluded.

"You mean she hasn't told you?"The priest asked Lizzie in disbelief. Lizzie shook her head. "HHmmph! don't feel too bad about it Layla has always been pretty private even when she was a kid." The priest shook his head. As if, remembering a bad memory. "This is the church where she was adopted from." The priest scratched his scruffy chin. "She was such a terror even back then."

So that's why she didn't appear on the records Sebastian had looked up regarding the Artest family. Layla was adopted. Ciel and Sebastian exchanged glances; it seemed as though the mystery was unraveling its self. Maybe they could find out even more information here.

"So, this is the church you were adopted from?" Lizzie looked up at her friend.

"Yup. Now do you understand why I was hell bent on not coming?" Lizzie smiled at her friend.

"It's not as bad as you said it was." Lizzie giggled.

"They're working their way up to it."Layla said as she glared at the priest.

He chuckled at her. The priest got up from his chair and walked to the front of his desk now leaning his lower back side on the desk. He crossed his arms.

"Layla my dear you have always been the quick one… However…" He smiled broadly at Layla. "You always forget to plan an escape."

"We've gotcha!" The nun Lilia announced as she and the other nuns grabbed a hold of her.

"What the hell? You guys plan on dragging me all the way down stairs for yet ANOTHER baptism?"Layla struggled against the nuns.

"HA! There's no need to go down to the chapel anymore!"The priest walked to the back of the room and pulled off the cloth off of what had appeared to be a round table however it was actually a tub of water. "And this is a tub full of holy water."

Without being able to give out a proper reaction Layla was thrown into the tub.

"AAHH! What the hell you bastard! It's cold! It's cold! It's freaking cold!"Layla hollered and struggled against the nuns who were making sure she stayed in the tub. Ciel and Lizzie were once more horrified the sight they were seeing. Sebastian however was laughing. Not loudly. He was doing his best not too. These particular humans who called Layla a little Devil were all too hilarious. He quickly gained his composer back before anyone could notice. No wonder the girl hated the place.

Layla splashed about in the tub of holy water. All of nuns were holding her down with one hand as held their Rosario's in their other hand. Layla wasn't a really putting up much of an effort to get out of the tub. She was already soaked with holy water so it seemed like a waste of energy. However just to be defiant she wiggled about splashing water out of its basin. The priest stood in front of the tub facing Layla. The round tub wasn't very big so Layla's legs hung over the tub. She held on to the rims of the tub so that the nuns wouldn't accidentally drown her. (As if anyone could accidentally drowned someone) the priest hunched over and put his big rough right-hand on Layla's head. Layla froze in place as if out of trained habit. The priest took in deep breath.

"Demon of wrath. Release this child, for she belongs to the most high and no one else. Your soul I will pardon." With his free hand he traced the across over his chest. "In Jesus Christ name amen." The nuns who were praying different prayers ended with an amen. Layla looked up at the priest in annoyance.

"can I get out now?" her left eyebrow was twitching. The priest looked down at her with displeasure.

"Do as you please." He said lowly. "But your clothes are all wet." The priest snapped his fingers and the nuns were instantly dragging her away into a closet that was also in the back of the room. While shouts of protests could be heard from behind the door father Mcguil turned to his guests smiling happily.

"It's so nice to met new friends of Layla! I was sure that girl would forever be stuck with Greenhill and Redmond." Father Mcguil shook his head. "To, think that she would actually be able to make female friend!" He chuckled. "She must be very protective of you I imagine?" He questioned Lizzie.

"It seems that way at times." Lizzie smiled happily. They heard a crash from behind the closet door followed by an aggravated growl by Layla. Ignoring the noise father Mcguil laughed.

"If you ever want to hear any embarrassing stories about her let me know I've got a few." He said happily.

"Really?" Ciel inserted. "How about the story of when she arrived here?" He asked feigning innocents. Ciel wanted as much information he could get about her any little detail could help him find a weakness. The priest blinked several times.

"She is quite the private one that girl." He said as he scratched his beard stubbles on his chin. "This might be hard to believe, but Layla was actually delivered to us by an angel."

'Did he just say that?' Ciel wondered if he had heard wrong. Sebastian however was in full focus on the priest so Ciel knew he had heard him correctly.

"What do you mean she was delivered by an angel?" Lizzie questioned with a great look of wonderment in her eyes.

"Well…" The priest began as he walked over to his chair behind his desk. "Abbess Jean and I were walking back from a shop that day to replenish some supplies. It was winter and there was a blizzard that had lasted one whole week. It had made it into the papers as the worst blizzard of the year. This day however the blizzard had finally stopped. I had spent the whole morning shoveling snow." He grimaced. "Any way on our way back we saw him. Falling out of the sky and on to the pile of snow I had shoveled earlier that day. We were stupefied by the sight of him! Large white wings with feathers lightly dipped in gold." He closed his eyes to remember more clearly. "His back was turned to us so we never realized that he was holding a child in his arms until he began to slowly vanish before us. We both ran up to him. He was holding tightly. As if she was the most precious thing in the world." His face took on a forlorn look. "With his last breaths the angel looked up at me and said… 'I'll trust you to keep her safe.' Even though he was obviously in pain as he started to vanish he smiled at me and added… 'consider it a heavenly favor' and with that he vanished." The priest looked down at his hands.

'Bolex!'Ciel thought. He was simply looking for an audience to listen to him. And Lizzie was eating it up.

A Loud noise of a door slamming open caught their attention.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? DID YOU PLAN THIS TOO!?" Layla shouted as she stomped over to the priest. She was now wearing full nun attire head dress included.

"Sure did." Father Mcguil grinned. Layla pulled off the nun head dress and stomped on it several times. Her hair was loose and flowing beautifully past her buttocks. Lizzie's eyes widened.

"A girl who was delivered here by angel shouldn't act like that!" Lizzie cried out to her friend. Layla blinked several times then looked at the priest.

"You told THEM that story?"Layla touched her head as if she was about to have a headache. Layla held Lizzie's head gently with both hands cupping the bottom of her face as she guided her head to look up at her. "Lizzie." She paused. "Don't believe that old man he's absolutely delusional."

"Excuse ME!?" Father Mcguil protested but was ignored as Layla continued to talk to Lizzie.

"You see that's just a story Abbess Jean and Father Mcguil came up with so I wouldn't feel bad about being abandoned as a child."She smiled down at Lizzie sofly. Lizzie blushed lightly. "They've been trying to sell me that rubbish for years now."

"Oh. Is that so?" Lizzie let out a sigh of disappointment. Ciel didn't like how Layla was talking to Lizzie. He didn't exactly understand why but… SHE was touching his FIANCE! Although it should be ok for two girls to be friendly and touch each other Ciel didn't like it when it was her. She just..She just…

Layla noticed Ciel's sour look as she was cupping Lizzie face. As a little way to tease him a bit Layla decided she would suddenly pull Lizzie in to a tight embrace. She looked at Ciel's face. It looked as though it might fall off. Layla couldn't hold back any longer. She bursted into a tear inducing laughter.

Lizzie's face was bright red and so was Ciel's as he realized she was teasing him. Sebastian rested his index finger under his bottom lip as he observed the girl. She was definitely something close to a mischievous little devil but how would she fair with what Ciel had planned for her later on that day. It was rare for this to happen but Sebastian had found that he was becoming deeply interested in this unusual girl. 'I wonder. Will she buckle under her enemies or will she miraculously find a way out?' A small yet genuine smile touched Sebastian's lips. 'It's too bad this plan was flawless.' Sebastian would soon have say good bye to his current toy by the end of today. 'It's really regrettable that we didn't have more time to play.'

Wooohoo! A new chapter! Yay! I did it! I actually did it! I hope everyone enjoyed it. It was only a filler chapter like the last one but after this the real plot will start and there will be a whole lot more of Sebastian here on out! Leave me a review so I can know how you guys feel about it. (;_;) I'd really like to know!
