Disclaimer: I own nothing
So, I got a pretty good response for Little Jester, I love everyone who left a review, by the way. So here's another little ditty that's been kicking around my computer. Again, reviews are nice, they give me the courage to post.
Snow and Ash
Crowds parted and rooms silenced as Allen Walker made his meandering way through the Order. He knew they feared him; knew they hated him. But they needed him, and oh how that must have been an unpleasant pill to swallow.
Most of them didn't even know. They didn't know how close to the surface the 14th had risen. They didn't know that the Noah was a constant voice in the back of his mind. They didn't know that the stigmata had already appeared on his right hand.
Only those who were closest to him, who he allowed near when he and the Musician grappled for ownership of the body, when his head pounded with such pain that he expected it would split open, had any idea how close he was. Even then they were overly optimistic.
Feeling the beginnings of one such headache, Allen altered his course and quickly headed for the Ark. He wanted the privacy of his piano room, and he could easily prevent anyone else from entering there, unlike his own room, where he knew he would be carefully observed by Link.
Once he had securely sealed himself away from the world, and only then, did Allen succumb to the pain.
Dropping to his knees, he clutched his hair as a scream tore at his throat.
'Allen Walker! You're Allen Walker, an Exorcist!' he chanted like a mantra, over and over in his mind.
'Allen Walker, Mana's little brother, the 14th Noah, the Musician.' He heard chanting back at him, gaining volume and intensity.
'Mana!' Allen thought, desperately. 'He never saw me, he only saw his brother.' He cried out in anguish as blood began to seep from his forehead, blinding him with red.
He fell forward, slamming his fists into the ground and biting his lip, trying to keep from fainting, but with one final, violent throb of his aching head, he fell into the darkness.
So... I have a potential second and maybe even third chapter to this. Please review and let me know if I should even bother.
Thanks
T.P.S.K.
