My mom would NOT leave me alone! She was CONSTANTLY coming upstairs and telling me random stuff like 'I bet you could play music on your computer through your iPod dock' 'Let's burn that scented wax melting candle' 'Is your Norton security up to date? So aggravating!
Warning: Swearing (F-Word), blood, and creepy parts

They had entered a gloomy, forgotten part of town. An orange sky with purple-grey clouds draped the streets in twilight. Old abandoned houses scrunched together near the sidewalk, the lawns littered in overgrown grass and plants. Broken down cars in driveways and even one in the middle of the road sat lonely by themselves. Old maple trees covered in poison oak vines loomed over them like arches.
They traveled down the road about two thousand feet then made a left onto a street that's name wasn't even intelligible on its sign. Besides the smell of decay, rotting houses, car fumes and dust, there was one stench that stood out to the demons' noses.
Angel.
"There's an angel here, and the chances of mine being here are pretty high considering that the relative location is around here, but I checked Detroit just in case the angel had moved." Troy informed.
After having traveled down a few more streets, following the scent of the angel, they came to what was probably the oldest building of them all, considering the gothic architecture and the dark bricks. Some of the stained glass windows were broken, and others looked like they were painted black. The scent of the angel that emitted from here was incredibly strong, and it stung the demons' noses to breathe it in.
There was another smell that floated off of this church: ash, smoke, and melted substances. It had faced a fire. What a pity, Ciel thought, it looked like it was a grand church in life.
"Shall we proceed inside?" Sebastian offered. The two nodded and he walked up the steps and held what was left of the door open for them to walk through.
The first thing Ciel noticed was the blackened walls at the end of the corridor, where a single door stood, probably leading to the sanctuary. They walked through the door only to be overwhelmed be the smell of smoke and ash… and angel.
Ciel considered himself lucky not to have an asthma attack, but that was probably because he was a demon and it probably isn't triggered as easily as a human's. The reek of death hung in the air as well and made his stomach lurch, "Goddamn it!" He exclaimed, covering his nose.
"It's horrible in here!" Troy gagged. Sebastian did nothing, but he was fighting back the urge to at least gag slightly at the horrible smell.
"It seems you found me."
A voice rang through the scorched sanctuary and echoed from the large size of the room, "I shouldn't be surprised. But I expect more from an Angel Slayer." He glared at Troy, "I thought you would find me sooner."
"Stupid angel!" Troy snarled.
The angle chuckled at Troy's remark, "I will make you eat those words, you filthy cur." He picked up a candle holder on the ground and lunged at Troy, spreading his wings. Sebastian grabbed Ciel as Troy and the angel engaged in one-on-one combat and leaped onto the remnants of a bench.
But before Ciel could see what was on the bench, Sebastian covered his eyes saying, "Don't look, young master!" On the bench was the filthy and absolutely revolting charred black body practically melted onto the seat. Sebastian himself gagged and leaped onto a beam close to the ceiling, where it had been untouched by fire.
They watched from their perch blood splattering on the blackened walls and the ash covered ground. Multiple curses were heard as the two beat each other down.
"We shall not interfere, even if his life is in danger, this isn't our angel, and he should know that we aren't ready to risk our life for him." Ciel told Sebastian, who nodded, still trying to recover from what he had seen.
Troy cried out as he was hit on the side of his face by the candle holder. He recoiled with a punch to the angel's face, "Fuck you!" He screamed.
The angel wiped blood from his nose, "Such harsh words." He whined before stabbing the demon with a piece of wood repeatedly, splattering blood on the ground. Troy managed to rip it out of the angel's hands and run it through its chest, blood flying onto the walls.
Pain enveloped him as he was shoved onto the ground –landing on something sharp that only god knows what it is- and a horrible liquid was poured into his mouth.
Holy Water.
The ultimate weakness of demons. He would've screamed out in agony, but a fire in his throat built up and burned so hard that he couldn't make a single word, the only way he expressed his pain was by the tears that streamed down his cheeks and his scrunched up face.
"I always keep some on hand." The angel sneered, ripping the vile from Troy's mouth, "Just in case I am in need of it sometime."
As soon as the fire in his throat downsized very slightly, he managed the words, "God…damned ang..el! Fuck…off!" His words were raspy and pretty hard to make out from the Holy Water.
"It hurts, doesn't it? But sadly, it cannot burn away your sins, for you are a demon." The angel laughed, "Shall I deal the finishing blow?"
Troy remained silent, mostly because he felt that if he tried talking again, his throat would burn off. The angel held up his candle holder in the air threatening to kill Troy…
Ciel watched, slightly amused by the fight. Blood splattered in the weirdest shapes on the ground and Troy was kicked to the ground with the wind knocked out of him and the angel poured Holy Water down his throat. After a few exchanged words, the angel lifted his candle holder into the air like he was going to strike the final blow to Troy. How will this predicament end?
Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the candle holder came down upon him. But then, a sudden strength took over his arms and body and he stopped the candle holder by grabbing onto it just before it could hit his body. He snarled as he bent it into an 'L' shape and stood up. A sudden strength came over his legs so they would be able to hold up his body weight.
He sunk his fangs into the angel's shoulder and felt hot blood ooze down his shoulders. The angel screamed, it had been a long fight and he was very weak, although he tried to hide it as well as he could. Troy ripped into him, taking his true form with large ears protruding from his head the same color as his hair and a white tipped reddish brown fluffy tail like his hair. The rest of his true form consisted of everything else on the standard true form: Metal bracers, fingerless gloves, metal boots of some sort, something around his neck and glowing pink eyes.
His black claws tore the angel open, but he didn't get a gruesome as Ciel normally does. The angel dropped to the ground, landing on his bent up candle holder. He screamed out loud as Troy dealt the final blow to him.
Ciel smirked and called down, "You actually did it. And here I thought you would fail." He leaped down as Troy returned to his normal form.
"It's not like you could do much of a better job." Troy said, obviously feeling jealous of Ciel's status in the Angel Slayer ranks.
"Oh? Would you dare say that to Lucifer's personal assassin?" The young demon leered.
Troy sighed, "No, I guess not."
"Well, you promised me that you would point me in the direction of Eveleen, now, tell me!"
"Alright, she is in Mackinac, directly north of here."
"Thank you. Allow us to take our leave." Ciel said, he gave a devilish smirk to Troy before Sebastian opened the door, leaving Troy by himself in the ruined sanctuary.
I would've had this up a lot earlier in the day, but my mom wouldn't stop interrupting me, so it's being put up now. There isn't much to say about this chapter, so I'm just gonna tell all of you to review and I hope you enjoyed!
