" And then I thought 'YOLO' and so I just smacked Agni's ass," Lucy rambled, as she continued to recount everything Alina had missed.
"Not fair," Alina mock sobbed, fake tears dripping down her face.
"I earned that ass slap," Lucy insisted emphatically.
Alina clamped her hands over her ears.
"Lies, all of them. Dirty lying stupid sexy face lair,"Alina sighed glumly.
"Stabbing silly face," Lucy countered, sticking her tongue out at her friend.
The pair turned into the room where the cult members kept the old clothes of converts.
"Want a shirt," Alina asked Lucy, ask she began to sift through an unorganized pile of clothes.
Lucy glanced at the shirt Alina was offering her. She shook her head.
"Nah, it'll hinder my knife skills."
Alina rolled her eyes.
"But, you know why seeing your body does to me," she murmured coyly.
Lucy scoffed.
"Whatever, dude. Hey, can you check the seam lines on the back side of the harness. I tried my best, but my sewing skills were not ready to work with leather."
Alina tossed Lucy's bloodied dress aside and pulled another equally plain dress over her head.
"Yeah, sure," the russian said.
Alina turned Lucy around and began to scan over the straps. Her fingers poked and prodded here and there for a moment. Lucy turned around.
"Well?"
Alina burst out laughing.
"That thing has so many useless stitches it could be in a Tim Burton movie," Alina choked gleefully.
A tick mark popped up on Lucy's forehead.
"But, it'll hold up?"
"I give it another day, before it falls apart," Alina informed nonchalantly, wiping away tears of laughter.
Lucy shoved Alina's head away playfully.
"Did Sebastian sleep with that cult chick," Alina asked suddenly, her face now clear everything but seriousness.
"No," Lucy replied instantly.
"Did you kill her?"
"Almost. No. Well. IDK maybe. I mean, I didn't."
"You sure wanted to, though," Alina stated, crossing her arms.
"Wait but, didn't Sebastian like mark her or some shit when he-"
Lucy raised up a hand to silence Alina.
"Taken care of, mon cher. I've got Melody on it. Anna's also there."
Alina smiled.
"Mmmmmmm, my girl tak'in care of shit," she purred.
The two friends giggled at each other.
"Fuck man, I missed you," Lucy admitted, embracing Alina.
Alina hugged her back.
"Good to be back. Hey, do you-oh my god what the hell did you do to your hair."
Alina pulled back from the embrace.
"Oh, I cut it. Terrible job I know, but a girls gotta do what a- OH MY GOD WHAT THE FRICK FRACK DIDDILY DACK HAPPENED TO MY HAIR!" Lucy frantically stared at the lock of hair Alina had set before her.
Her normally dark blonde hair was tinted white at the ends and gradually fading back to her original color. Alina pinched it and the response was immediate. The white bits of hair cracked then fell to dust at the feet of the two girls.
Sebastian caught Ciel as the boy's cinematic records returned to him.
"What the hell were you thinking," Sebastian scolded.
"Sebastian... Good catch," Ciel replied weakly.
"You always exceed my expectations. You have a worthy soul, my young master." Angela bristled.
"Such a filthy heart. I should never have shown you pity. So, here and now I shall purify you," the depraved angel cried.
Sebastian set Ciel down and smirked at Angela.
"We'll see about that," he smugly countered, pulled knives from within his coat.
"A crime in the library falls under grim reaper jurisdiction. We'll join them. Come, Anna, Grell," William instructed, pushing his glasses up with his death scythe.
"Oh yeah," Grell squealed, jumping up to join them.
"Look at us," the red-head gushed, hugging himself as he swayed side to side. "We're a trinity!"
Anna smacked Grell upside the head.
"Hey, watch it, bub! We're a quartet,"she corrected.
Then the Undertaker made his appearance, with Melody perched lazily atop the cart full of books he was pushing.
"Yes, yes, coming through," the Undertaker announced, before stopping in front of one of the many monstrously sized book shelves.
"Let's see. Eight, eight, number eight-"
"Undertaker,"Ciel exclaimed.
"What are you doing here," Grell shouted.
Will smacked him on the head with his death scythe.
"You all seem busy here. I'll start my purification of the abbey."
Angela floated upwards, surrounded by a glowing blue sphere.
"Running away, coward," Sebastian growled, staring at her.
"I'll show you what happens to a world ruled by impurity, starting with that blonde harlot," Angela threatened, fading away.
Sebastian threw his knives at her but they bounced off the sphere.
"What was that," Ciel asked aghast.
"An angelic seal," Will monotonely answered.
"The fuck! Is all my hair like the?!"
"No, it was only that strand!"
"I'm freaking out!"
"You're freaking out?! I'm freaking out!"
"I really think of all the thing's to be freaked out about!-"
"It shouldn't be your hair! I know! Seriously though!"
Pain suddenly rippled through both of their chests. They both gasped and grabbed something to support themselves with.
"For fuck's sake, Angela," they angrily shouted in union.
Lucy's face was converted into a poorly masked grimace.
"Alright," she panted,"here's what we gotta do Lion King diversion plan delta."
"That plans for Black Friday blowout sales," Alina whimpered in reply. "Sounds perf now-"
"There you are, my pets," Angela purred, floating into the room.
"It won't open," Anna and Grell gasped, as they tugged on the door handles.
"Oh dear, it seems we're trapped," Will intoned.
"Yes, thank you, captain obvious," Anna shouted, waving her arms around wildly.
Will narrowed his eyes and glared at her.
"Mind your manners," he hissed.
Melody, for her part rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Idiots," Melody mumbled.
The brunette pulled a book from the shelf and tossed it carelessly to the ground. The pages of the book flew open to a page where words were still being written. Will bent over and picked it up.
"This looks like the cinematic record of some one in the abbey," Will informed, reading over the record.
"Seriously," Grell asked.
"Interesting," Will continue, ignoring Grell, "An Angel of massacre is descending in an abbey on the outskirts of Preston. She has pulled before the withering congregation The Child Without A World. The Angel and The Worldless One have begun to battle. The Worldless One is loosing; her blades dull in their throw as the hand that throws them shake in pain. The angel rains more pain upon the occupants of the abbey-"
"Stop this," Ciel command. Sebastian stepped up behind him.
"What are we supposed to do," Grell whine," we don't even have a way out of here."
"Yoo-hoo, oh boys," Melody called seductively, wagging the Death Bookmark back and forth.
Lucy gasped as Angela kicked Alina into a stone pillar.
"You broke my control over her," Angela snarled, turning back to Lucy.
Lucy whipped away the blood trickling down her left temple. She smirk at the angel smugly.
"Not even a little bit sorry," she shot back, throwing a knife at each of Angela's wings. "I'll never apologize for assuring that we can return home!"
Angela laughed cruelly.
"She may have been under my influence, but the words Alina spoke were true. You were branded down to your very soul. You may never return home," Angela snickered, as she dodged the knives.
The angel sent a powerful gust of wind towards Lucy. Lucy crossed her arms in front of her to shield herself. The wind raked through her blonde hair. She lost her footing. Angela then went to kick her in the head. Lucy grabbed onto Angela's leg and tried to break her ankle, in much the same way she did with Alina. However, the angel's strength was too much for her. Angela flung Lucy away from her easily.
Lucy panted as she pulled herself from the ground. She had only a moments rest before Angela came at her again. The blonde quickly changed her plan of attack seeing as she couldn't compete with Angela's strength. Lucy retreated backwards and began jerkily dodging Angela through the row of pillars behind the moaning crowd. She began a steady barrage of well aimed knives. Most of the speeding silver was easily dodged by Angela but the angel seemed to miss the fact that Lucy was clipping her wings shot by shot.
"Give up, you unclean wench," Angela ordered venomously, lunging at Lucy.
Lucy glared at the angel. She dove out from the pillars; jumping off one and onto the top of a pew before pushing herself even higher into the air. The pair was about to meet in mid-air when Lucy felt a shift in the air. The blonde shifted, narrowly avoiding Angela.
Sebastian's eyes narrowed as he examined Lucy's bloodied form.
"It's about time you showed up," Lucy scolded, frowning at Sebastian.
"Why aren't wearing a shirt," he asked blandly.
Lucy's left eye twitched.
"I'd say that the reason is pretty obvious, being the harlot she is," Angela sneered.
"I've been called far worse by far better that you," Lucy chuckled, turning her attention back to Angela. "Besides, I think it's safe to say that i'm far less experience that you in that department."
"How dare you! How dare you even compare yourself to an immaculate winged angel! Creatures like you and that demon are chained to the earth for eternity."
"I suppose you are chained to the heavens then," Sebastian coolly interjected.
Angela turned around just as Will's death scythe clamped around her throat. Seeing Grell appear, Lucy took the opportunity to run over to Alina. Her russian companion was out cold, but she was otherwise unharmed aside from a few bruises.
"Lucy, would you care to play a game of darts," Sebastian asked.
Lucy turned from Alina and grinned feraly. Angela, though pinned to the wall, scoffed.
"Please, her aim is terrible."
"Bitch, I was clipping your wings, not trying to take an eye out!"
Angela gasped and glanced at her wings.
"But ya know what," Lucy continued,"I think I'll do just that."
Angela screamed as one of Lucy's throwing knives embedded itself in her left eye. The angel squirmed and began to growl. Blue light surrounded her as she continued to shout. The building began to shake dangerously.
"Does she mean to destroy us along with her," Sebastian asked incredulously.
"Snuff out the unclean. Snuff out the unnecessary," Angela chanted.
"HOW ABOUT I SNUFF OUT YOU, YOU ALBINO ASSHOLE," Alina shouted almost drunkenly as she came to.
"Ah, boy's see the ceiling," Grell pointed out hesitantly.
"You're all free to run now if you like," Sebastian said, addressing the crowd.
"We'll retreat as well, Grell," Will ordered, glancing at the red-head.
"Wait! Where's Anna," Lucy asked, pulling Alina to her feet.
Will glanced at Lucy briefly.
"She's back in the library. Come, Grell."
Grell began to dramatically run from the crumbling building.
"Seriously, nevermind over-time. I want a day off," Will grumbled, trailing behind Grell.
Alina patted Will on the back as she and Lucy ran past him.
"I feel ya, hun."
"Ciel!"
"A-alina!"
Lucy smiled lovingly at Alina as the younger girl ran over to Ciel. Sebastian approached her and came to stand beside her. The pair stood in silence for a moment, just wanting the children embrace each other. Lucy crossed her arms.
"I can't go back," Lucy began softly. "It's just not possible for me. Angela saw to that…. I suppose it's for the best though. I'm not who I was before I came here. I'm not Lucy anymore. The old Lucy would be screaming and running to a church to pray. This isn't Lucy's world though. This is my world. All this time I've been clinging to idea that I could go back. I think I can let go of that now….. I'll need a new name."
"What ever name you-"
"How about Vivian?"
"What ever name you go by I'll love you."
Lucy laughed dryly.
"Ha, good one, Sebastian. Vivian it is."
"I tried," Sebastian sighed.
"Tried what," Lucy asked.
Sebastian removed his coat. He wrestled with the inside pocket before setting the dark coat around her shoulders.
"Sebastian, what are you-"
He held his closed fist out to her, his clenched fingers facing the sky. Lucy furrowed her brows in confusion. Slowly, the blonde reached out and uncurled his fingers. In the middle of Sebastian's pale palm sat a ring. It's platinum band curved elegantly in a solitaire setting, meeting a fat cushion cut diamond. Lucy went completely rigid. Her breath caught and she found eyes incapable of looking anywhere but at the ring.
"I tried not loving you. By all means it should have been easy. You are so stubborn, and troublesome. You never listen and are entirely too blunt. You're so entirely human, and yet despite all that. I can't picture myself without you. I love you and I don't want you to ever leave."
Lucy hesitantly looked back up. Dark blue eyes locked onto dark brown.
"Are you-"
"Yes."
"Just to clarify-"
"Marry me?"
"... Stupid demon," Lucy barked, blushing madly.
"Here's your proof that i'll never leave."
Lucy blinked and nodded.
"Is that a yes then," Sebastian chuckled, leaning forward.
Lucy bit back a sharp remark and leaned forward to meet his gaze.
"O, just put the ring on before I change my mind."
Sebastian chuckled and slip the ring onto her left ring finger. Their forehead rested against each other.
"Lucy Michaelis sound better than Vivian Michaelis. I suppose I'll have to keep my name. Two different people though, got that," she gripped.
Sebastian smiled fondly at her, his head tilting to the side just a tad.
"Another Life of Pi metaphor," he teased.
"Oh, hush, you."
"As you wish, fiancé."
Lucy relented to the smile pressing itself upon her lips. Sebastian's arms loosely wrapped themselves around her waist. Lucy inturned wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled his nose with hers affectionately.
"I love you to, Sebastian."
Alina and Ciel slowly made their way over to the pair. Alina quietly snickered at the intimate position the pair before her were in. Lucy and Sebastian separated and turned to the pair.
"I suppose it's over then," Ciel sighed, looking directly at Sebastian. "Go ahead, take it. Take my soul, Sebastian."
Lucy gaze traveled down to Ciel's an Alina's entertained hands. She smirked and knelt down before him.
"It's not over yet, Ciel," Lucy admitted, placing her hands on his shoulders. " We'll be with you a bit longer."
