END SUPER-IMPORTANT MEGA-AWESOME ANNOUNCEMENT!
Now that that's outta the way, please allow me to sing you the feels song while you read this glorious work of literature that I just pulled out of my ass...
Akuma's eyes widened in surprise and she lowered her blade slightly.
"You?" she asked, "Seriously? Please, that joke isn't even funny!"
Leila looked a bit taken aback. "Please, Akuma, you have to believe me. Whatever Lillium told you was a lie!"
Akuma smirked, and Ciel was struck by how achingly familiar the expression was.
"Lillium didn't have to tell me anything I didn't know." she said simply, "Lillium raised me. She saved me when they took me away-"
"No!" Leila interrupted. "Lillium was the one who took you away! She nearly killed you!"
Akuma's gaze suddenly turned sinister, and for the briefest moment, her deep gray-blue eyes flashed into a pair red slits.
"Lies..." she whispered. "All of it, lies..."
"Akuma-"
"SHUT UP!" she suddenly screamed.
Akuma charged Leila down with the blade, an attack the fallen angel narrowly missed. Leila rolled away and came up behind her daughter, putting a hand on her shoulder. Akuma whirled around, and Leila had to duck to avoid losing her head to the blade.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!"
Akuma's voice had changed. It was no longer the smooth, medium voice of a teen. In it's place where two different voices speaking together in a loose sync. One was that of a deep male voice that sounded like an angered beast. The other was a heavily distorted whispering female, high and raspy. Her voice sounded like wind blowing through empty trees.
Leila nearly cringed in fear. "Please Akuma, hear me out!"
An aura of swirling black and purple had begun to spiral about Akuma. She crouched slightly with the blade held out in front of her.
"I thought they had killed you," Leila whispered. "I tried to save you when Lillium took you, but-"
Akuma suddenly cut her off, throwing her against the wall and pressing the blade against her neck.
"I don't want to hear your lies." she growled in her harsh demonic voice.
"L-Lillium... is o-only ...u-using you." Leila choked out. "Sh-She doesn't l-love... you, she's p-probably... going to l-kill you... when she f-finds no... no u-use for you a-anymore."
Akuma snarled and pressed the blade harder against Leila's neck, causing her to whimper as beads of blood began to appear.
"Then what is she using me for, huh?"
Leila couldn't breathe, she couldn't speak. The only sound she got out was a strangled cough.
Ciel finally couldn't watch anymore. Drawing one of Leila's daggers from his belt, he stood and threw it in Akuma's general direction. He purposely missed, favoring to send it whizzing past her head than into her shoulder. The blade stuck into the wall next to Leila's head, and startled Akuma to the point where she nearly dropped the blade.
"That is enough!" he yelled.
Completely forgetting about Leila, she whirled around to see who had thrown the dagger. Her mouth dropped when she saw Ciel.
"Ciel?" she whispered in shock.
Her voice had returned to normal, all traces of demonic influence gone.
The boy said nothing, he looked over Akuma's shoulder to meet Leila's eyes. She was kneeling on the floor, rubbing her neck and gasping.
Akuma turned to see what Ciel was looking at. The demonic aura surrounding her suddenly dissipated .
"What are you doing here?" She asked. "You're not with her, are you?"
Ciel looked up to meet her gaze, and he was reminded almost painfully of the last time he saw her.
"She is telling the truth, Akuma." he said while staring directly into her eyes.
She froze. She looked back and forth between Leila and Lillium, who had long since stopped struggling to stand and simply lay still on the floor once more. She took a deep breath as a pained expression came over her. Suddenly she had tears streaming down her face, and was viciously pointing a finger at Ciel.
"No!" She screamed. "You're lying! YOU'RE LYING! Both of you! LIARS!"
Ciel backed up a few steps. "Akuma calm down!" He raised his hands in front of his face to protect himself.
"Liars!" She shrieked, "Mom wouldn't do that! She loves me! She's the only one who loves me!"
Her aura exploded around her.
"I trusted you!" she yelled in hysterics, "I trusted you, and you lied to me!"
He spotted Leila silently crawling away from Akuma. She was heading towards the left wall, where Sebastian's chains hung.
"I should have never trusted you!" Akuma screamed, "I should have never helped you, or even talked to you! I should have let you die!"
Leila had managed to silently remove the chains from the wall. She held the open cuffs out in her hands as she slowly advanced on her daughter from behind. Akuma raised the blade and pointed it at Ciel's heart, her aura swirled dangerously around her as her eyes glowed red and narrowed to slits. When she spoke, her demonic tones had returned. She spoke her next words in a low hiss that promised death.
"I should have been the one to kill you. Liars cannot be allowed to live."
Just as she began to charge, Leila leaped and tackled Akuma to the ground. The sword was flung away as she quickly chained the girl, but as soon as Leila attacked, Akuma had begun to scream.
"animas purus de Lilium, adiuva me!"
Leila suddenly went pale, and put a hand over her daughter's mouth. Akuma kept screaming, even though she was muffled by the hand.
"principatus sub Lillium, salvum me!"
Leila suddenly threw her daughter over her shoulder, and before Ciel knew what was happening, Leila pulled him into her chest and jumped out the window.
"Ego praecipio vobis ut occideret illos!"
Akuma could be heard screaming above everything else. She could be heard over the sound of rushing wind as they plummeted over sixty feet to the ground below. She could be heard over Leila desperately moving her useless wings to try and save them. She suddenly flipped in the air, so that her back was facing the ground with Akuma and Ciel on top of her. She wrapped her wings tightly around them and held them close.
They finally hit the ground with a resounding thud. Leila's grip on them suddenly loosened, and her shattered wings lay uselessly beside her. Akuma was silent. Ciel had taken little damage from the fall. He was very shaken up to say the least. He scrambled to stand and saw Leila breathing heavily with her eyes closed. In her arms was an unconscious Akuma.
"Damnit, are you okay!?"
Leila stirred slightly, groaning in pain as her body protested the movement.
"Get the horse..." she breathed, "We need to get out of here. Akuma just summoned the pure souls."
Ciel sighed in relief and whistled for the horse. He watched Leila closely, and gasped in surprise when he saw her wings beginning to become completely enveloped in shadow.
"L-Loss!"
She opened her eyes and looked up at him. "Don't call me Loss." She said firmly. "That's not my name."
Ciel swallowed. "Leila?"
She nodded. "As for the wings, this is normal." She mumbled. "I don't need them at the moment, so I might as well put them away, right?"
A breeze suddenly went by, causing her wings to dissipate in a cloud black feathers. Agro suddenly skidded to a stop behind Ciel, almost running the boy over. He noticed Sebastian, lifeless as over, strung over the horse's saddle. At the same moment, the door to the tower burst open, and a small army of pure souls flooded out. Suddenly Leila seemed to snap out of the daze she was in.
"Shit..." she breathed, dragging herself to her feet with her daughter still in her arms.
She pushed Ciel towards the horse and threw him on in front of Sebastian. A volley of arrows suddenly rained down from above. Agro suddenly shot her head up in fear and nervously pawed the ground with her hoof. Thankfully, all of the arrows missed, but that didn't stop the pure souls who had weapons from advancing further.
"Listen to me," she whispered, "That horse isn't strong enough to carry all four of us. You're gonna have to leave me, and you're gonna need to run. Run as fast and long as the horse can run. Find shelter. I'll meet up with you eventually, I promise"
Ciel swallowed and nodded. Another volley or arrows came down, and Agro spooked and charged away in response, plowing down a few pure souls in the process. Ciel looked over his shoulder to see Leila struggling to break away from the hoard of souls. She slashed her way out of the group and began running at a near inhuman speed towards the forest. The last he ever saw of her was an image of her leaping onto a tree branch and darting out of sight, with the pure souls still hot on her trail.
His eyes rested on the motionless demon for a moment before turning back around to urge the horse forward.
"Sebastian, I swear if you're dead... I'll kill you."
BWAHAHAHA! See what I did there at the end? Yeah... I bet you did. I figured this story could use a little comic relief, no?
