And We Meet Again...

Chapter 20

Diane's P.O.V.

After a few minutes of waiting outside the shop for Sebastian to talk to the Undertaker, I could hear a burst of laughter loud enough to shake the entire shop.

What on earth could he have told Undertaker that was so funny? I thought to myself when suddenly the door opens to reveal Sebastian and the Undertaker, who was still giggling a bit.

"Alright, we are allowed to asking anything we'd like to know." Sebastian says with a slight grin on his face and allows us to enter the shop. From there we explained to the undertaker about Gabs's disappearance and I gave him the white feather that I found in her room.

"Well this is interesting..." Undertaker says as he takes a closer look at the feather. "I never thought I would see something like this..."

"I don't understand," my master responded, "it is only a white feather, it could come from anywhere."

"Ah, but this is not just any ordinary feather, my lord, this one is pure white... one of that of an angel's wings..." I notice Sebastian frown at the word "angels" as I couldn't help but frown also. Those creatures were always up to no good...

"An angel?" Ciel muttered in confusion, "but why would they want Gabby, she hasn't done anything to them unless..." suddenly a look of realization flashed across his face. "Sebastian, she couldn't possibly be... one of them... can she?"

"It is difficult to determine, my lord, perhaps it is true, or it might not. I could sense something about her but I didn't think she could possibly be an actual angel... After all, she trusts Miss Diane completely and wouldn't hurt her. She is too kindhearted to do that." I could feel Ciel's eyes on me when Sebastian mentioned my name.

"Diane, did you anything about Gabs that could possibly make them take her away?" He asks in a stern, yet slightly worried, tone. I tried to think of anything that might explain the situation, but I couldn't find anything helpful.  Mom and Dad never mentioned that Gabs could be an angel; all I knew was that she did have parents who disappeared a long time ago.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I don't believe she possesses any qualities like that of an angel's... I have never been informed of such things nor have I ever seen them happen."  I answer truthfully and the young earl sighed.

"Either way it doesn't matter, we need to go where they took Gabs so we can take her back." He said getting up determinedly.

"It won't be that easy, my lord." I warned him. "They live in a highly guarded area."

"She is correct, young master," Sebastian added, "angels are not exactly fond of having foreign visitors in their premises."

"So there isn't a way we can enter their land without being noticed?" Ciel asked a bit frustrated.

"Well there is one way to enter their land..." I admitted. "But it is very risky and there is a chance we might get caught..."

"I'm listening," Ciel said eagerly, "I will do whatever it takes to get Gabby back."

From then on we started our plan.  Once we finished our business with the Undertaker, I left off with Sebastian and Ciel to go to the Land of Angels.

"We're coming for you nee-chan..." I said determinedly to myself.

Gabs's P.O.V.

Tossing and turning in the small bed, I found it hard to stay asleep. In my sleep I kept hearing a soft voice calling my name repeatedly until it shrieked "GET OUT!!!" causing me to jolt awake a bit in panic. I look to see nothing but darkness in the empty bedroom. It felt quite lonely not having anyone nearby. I was accustomed to sleeping with Diane in my room, humming a bit to a tune I had known since I was little. Remembering it in my head I felt tears fall down my cheeks. I really missed her. I wanted to go home. Sniffling a little I tried to calm myself down. *There has to be a way to get out of here...* I thought to myself as I was about to get out of the bed but I paused, remembering what Angela had mentioned before.

*I wonder why she doesn't want me to get up on my own...* I thought to myself but I simply brushed my thoughts aside and quietly made my way over towards the door and down the hallway as quickly as I could. I quickly snuck past a larger bedroom down the hall, noticing Ash was in there, deep asleep. With a sigh of relief I continued to quickly find way to the door when I felt nauseous all of a sudden. "Ngh..." I grunted feeling really dizzy, "w-why do I feel l-like this?" Suddenly I lost feeling in my legs and I feel them give in until I feel something catch me.

Third Person P.O.V.

"I warned you not to go wandering on your own," Angela says with a sigh, picking Gabs up with ease, taking her back to her room "where were you going? You are lucky you didn't pass out." She says sternly seeing the girl look a bit nervous.

"I-I.... I just couldn't sleep..." Gabs says softly trying to look away tearing up slightly, and Angela sighs.

"You could have just called me or Ash like I told you," Angela softens her tone a little trying not scare her, "but I know there is something troubling you more than that." Gabs sniffles a bit and looks down.

"I just want to go home." She replied softly and Angela freezes a bit bothered but tries to look normal in front of Gabby.

"My dear you are home," she says stroking Gab's hair a bit, "I think you just need some sleep and we can talk about it later.~" she says hugging Gabs close to her chest and carries her back to the bedroom.  Once she tucks Gabs back in bed she goes out to get something and comes back with a cup filled with what appeared to be milk.  "Here darling, have some of this..."

"W-what is it?" Gabs asks innocently looking at the milky liquid but Angela just bring the cup closer to her lips.

"It's alright dear, it's just something to help you sleep better.~" She says helping Gabs drink the liquid.  Once Gabs drank every bit of it she coughs a bit from the bitter taste of it and moans slightly feeling drowsy and the angel shushes her calmly until she relaxes in the bed.  "Sleep well darling." She says softly covering up Gabs and closes the door leaving her room.  Entering her own room, Angela punches the wall near her, her eyes glowing in anger.  "That filthy demon will never get to her." She says menacingly.
