Ghost B.C. -"Bad Bloodline"

~CHAPTER 2~

*Afternoon mass has just ended and people started to leave the church, till as who were left were Sister Imperator, Papa Nihil, Cardinal Copia and a few sisters and ghouls. The ghouls and sisters were cleaning up the alter and the aisles while the three heads of the church group to discuss future matters*

Sister: It seems like we had more visitors than last week's afternoon mass, wouldn't you agree?

Nihil: It would have seem that we HAVE been receiving more attention in these past few days

Copia: This is good our words have opened the eyes and ears of new followers, with luck they will spread the word to many others

Sister: Speaking of which, with this growth of newcomers it's time we announce this to the church staff. I will have this set for tonight, we may have to cancel our evening mass though

Nihil: Very well sister

Sister: Cardinal will you help me send word for tonight?

Copia: Yes sister

Sister: Excellent, I will assist with set up, Cardinal will gather our staff and Papa....no trouble tonight please

Nihil: Now sister, where's the fun in that? *he lets out a chuckle, just as they about to disperse one of the nuns comes rushing in*

Nun 2: Sister!! *the three heads stop in their tracks as the nun abruptly stops in front of them panting, she bows*

Sister: Fellow sister, what seems to be the problem?

Nun 2: *She shortly tries to catch her breath*... Sister *pant* we *pant, pant* we have a situation

Nihil: What kind of situation?

Nun 2: Well... another sister and I were attending to our duties when we were passing through the hall and found a woman, unconscious on the floor

Copia: Was it one of the sisters?

Nun 2: No Cardinal, she's a woman we've never SEEN before...she was dressed from head to toe in black, we tried to call out to her to see if she was somewhat conscious but there was no response...not only that, she was injured

Sister: How severely?

Nun 2: Four giant gash marks on her upper left arm, they didn't seem deep but they were fresh and very bloody *the nun and the three heads start to quickly walk out into the hall*

Sister: Where is she now?

Nun 2: She should be in the infirmary by now, follow me *the four hurried their way to the infirmary, once they reached it the nun began to look for the other sister who was pacing in front of an open room looking rather worried* Sister!! *the other nun is alerted and goes over to greet the four*

Nun 1: *she bows* Thank you for coming sister, we just finished attending to her injuries but so far she has not woken up yet *they all enter the opened room slowly and quietly, instantly they are met with the sight of the woman. The nuns stand in front of the door way and Sister stands left of the woman's bed while the Cardinal stands on the right and Nihil stands at the base. They quietly study the woman*

Sister: *She whispers to the nuns* Has anyone else seen this women?

Nun 1: *In a quiet tone* So far no, we asked some of the ghouls if any of them saw someone enter the church, they all said no *the Cardinal gazes in awe at the sleeping women, gently he strokes part of her hair out of her face*

Copia: ...She's beautiful

Sister: *Spots her horns* She is...but what is she *Sister cautiously strokes one of the horns taking in the texture, the sleeping women stirs slightly stopping Sister's action. She's confused but baffled*...they're real

Copia: *He too is left with confusion, his curiosity grows more after studying the woman some more and spots a strange symbol on the woman's chest. He carefully pushing her hair away from her neck line for a better look and discovers it's a perfect black upside down cross*...Sister look *Sister looks closely at the mark and senses something familiar about it*

Sister: I think I've seen this somewhere....but I can't remember where *while Sister tries to retrace where that mark was seen from when Nihil moves over next to Copia to get a better view of the mark*...I'll try to see if I can find this mark somewhere among our scriptures, I might need help from you two *she gestures to the Cardinal and Nihil* *she turns to the two nuns* Continue to tender to her, bring her something to drink and maybe something to eat, retrieve me once she's awake

Nun 1 & 2: Yes Sister *Sister gestures for the Cardinal and Papa to follow her out of the room once the nuns left for the kitchen, the door closes leaving the sleeping woman once again alone*

*Back in the Ice Realm of Hell, Satan's father have been notified by the messenger about his daughter finally escaping. He has arrived at his son's castle to discuss the issue at hand...and he is not happy, he meets his son in the throne room*

Satan: *He kneels before his father* Father forgive me for what has happened, I didn't know she was planning an escape her developing powers was beyond my control *he look up to his father, he towered over Satan even when Satan stood up, his skin was grey and pale like perfectly smoothed stone, horns were tall, slim and sharp but black just like his hair and nails. His bright grey eyes look fiercely at his son though he appeared emotionless. Though there was no proof of the following, its true....Lucifer is the Father of Satan*

Lucifer: ...Out of your control...OUT of YOUR control? ...Idiot...what WAS in YOUR control was being able to place guards at your sister's cell or even making a cell impenetrable to her abilities...unless you choose not to head my warning? *Satan stays listen and terrified, by drooping his head it accrued to Lucifer his son made his choice to ignore his father's wishes*

Satan: ...Heh...Father I-I would have but uh... it just didn't- *Lucifer then smack's his sun across the face sending him flying into the stairs at the base of the throne*

Lucifer: YOU IDIOT, HAVE YOU DONE WHAT I ASKED OF YOU MAYBE THIS MESS WOULDN'T BE ON YOUR HANDS!!! *Satan slightly struggles to lift himself up, Lucifer walks over looking at his son with fury in his eyes but pauses and takes a deep breath to calm himself * ... how, out of EVERYTHING I made you out of, are you so ignorant?

Satan: *He finally sits himself up one of his elbows and wipes away dripping blood from his nose and mouth*...she never showed any signs of having powers in her youth father, how could you blame me for something YOU have more control over than I did?! *Lucifer was about to take another swing at Satan making his son flinch but reframed from this action and began to think about he just heard*

Lucifer: ...Very well *he puts is hand down* but since this was on you, I will help you retriever your sister...BUT we will do it MY way...understand?

Satan: ...*He pauses to think*...Yes Father

Lucifer: Good...now, before we start looking we must construct a bigger and more invulnerable to her capabilities and I expect it to be finished as soon as possible, DON'T make me use you as an example for those you disobey me

Satan: Yes Father...*he adjusts himself to kneel before Lucifer* I promise, I'll do ALL that it takes to bring her home...I promise
