Believe [Discontinued]

Chapter 5

The Chapel was a large, white building with a beautiful garden and statues. Gold adorning the exterior and the interior as Edd got blinded by the shine. He covered his eyes until a cloud floated by and stayed on top of the Chapel. Having time to adjust to the lighting, he walked to the side. Not wanting to deal with the irritating humans, he heads straight to the shed. 

He stopped to compare the two buildings.

The shed Tom said he lived in was in terrible condition, it hasn't been that long for it to be over run with vines with little blue flowers blooming on it. The Chapel next to it makes it look worse. There are other children that the Chapel takes care off, usually all of the children live inside the Chapel.

"That's so odd.....even when there are no more beds, the priests give the children their rooms and they sleep on the benches instead....."

A flare of anger swells inside, but it dissipates as he attempts to calm himself. He walks inside the shed.

The shed looks a little better on the side. A little bed, worn down but usable. A lamp and pictures, but no clothes or blankets. When Tom came to him, did they take it since he won't be there anymore?

"Wait....where's Tommie Bear?"

He searched the whole shed, but results.

Having no other choice, Edd must go inside the Chapel and talk the priests. The minute he steps inside, the priests go up to him and bow. Putting on smiles to welcome him.

"We welcome you, your lordship! What quires do you have to grace us today?"

"....Tom had a nightmare and I was wondering if you knew where his teddy bear is?"

The head priest turns his head with a dying smile.

"Father Gabriel, you were in charge of young Tom's belongings. Do you remember where his bear is?"

"Ah! Yes...I will go look now."

While Father Gabriel hurries a way, the head priest turns back to Edd and smiles brightly again.
