Red Riding Hood
Allen saw the crows and the figure coming down the hall. There were many people watching the procession. As the group came closer, Allen recognized the figure as a girl. She had bare feet that left blood on the floors of headquarters. The crows shoved her along as she struggled with the seals that bound her body. She wore a long red hood that went all the way down to her knees and covered her face.
The girl looked up, and her icy blue eyes met Allen's. Her face had probably once been very beautiful, but was now covered in dirt, cuts, and bruises. A single tear found its way through the grime that clung to her skin and dropped to the floor.
'Help.' The girl mouthed. Allen stood frozen, powerless. He so badly wanted to help this girl, so why couldn't he bring himself to do it? Their eyes remained locked as she was dragged further down the hall. The last Allen saw of her was her hanging her head back down, devoid of hope.
"ALLEN!" shouted Lenalee as she shook the sleeping exorcist roughly.
"Wha-!" Allen sat up bolt straight, confused of his surroundings.
"You wouldn't stop tossing and turning and saying that you were sorry… Are you okay?" Lenalee looked into her friend's eyes with worry, searching.
Allen shook his head lightly. Ever since he had seen that girl two weeks ago, he couldn't get her out of his head. Why had she been bound so roughly? Was she a danger? Why was she so beat up? Allen couldn't stop asking himself so many questions. He wondered if Central really was concerned with the exorcists or simply saw them as disposable tools.
"So while you were busy dozing off, we were told why we are being sent to Japan." Lavi said, appearing from behind Lenalee.
"Oh, yeah, I should probably know that!" Allen laughed lightly though his head was still consumed with thoughts of the girl in the red hood.
"Central had a prisoner that escaped and is sending a bunch of exorcists all around the world to look for her. They didn't give anyone a description, but said if we were anywhere near her, she would attack. So we were unlucky and got Japan. Though we're going to a southern island and not the mainland, it's still the Earl's turf so we have to be extra special careful." Lavi briefed Allen as he helped him get up.
"A prisoner huh?" mumbled Allen as he looked out to the seas around them.
The group finally arrived at the small southern island they would be searching in. Allen did a quick headcount and counted six exorcists in the party. There was Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda, Miranda, Crowley, and, finally, Allen.
"So…where do we go?" Miranda asked unsurely.
"Wherever the road takes us I guess." Allen replied as he nodded to the path ahead of him.
No one else had any other ideas, so the party moved along the long and winding road. After a while, the exorcists came across a small, deserted town. They sat for a rest in a ramen shop that was deteriorating severely.
The wind blew eerily in the quiet town and the six all became extremely paranoid. Kanda kept an unsure hand on Mugen's hilt, and Lavi held his hand over the pocket that held his hammer. Crowley reached into his jacket and grabbed a flask of akuma blood from the stash he was keeping just in case.
"…Don't look now, but on the roof of the building behind you, Miranda, there is a person that I think might be the girl we're looking for…" whispered Lenalee as quietly as she could.
"I…I could t-try and-d-d f-freeze her time, s-s-so you can c-capture her." Miranda stuttered back.
Lenalee nodded and Miranda activated her innocence. The girl still stood motionless on the roof of the building and flinched when Miranda suddenly froze her.
As soon as she was frozen, the other five exorcists all activated and ran to where the girl stood. They all jumped up to the roof where she stood and Allen froze.
The girl standing before them was the same girl in the halls two weeks ago. Her hood was down, and her black hair fell to her waist like liquid obsidian. Her bangs covered the right side of her face, but Allen recognized her icy blue eye.
Suddenly, Miranda screamed in agony and the group all turned in time to see her fall to the floor with her head in her hands, writhing. They rushed down to her and Allen picked her up gently.
"What happened?" he asked softly.
"T-th-the visions were so vivid! What I saw…" Miranda could utter nothing more than vague words that intrigued the others.
Allen turned around to look back at the girl on the roof, and saw nothing- the mystery girl was gone.
"Miranda, did you release your time record?" he asked urgently.
"N-no, it's still running." She replied between whimpers.
Remember, I escaped from Central's hands. Don't think you can capture me with your silly games. A voice resonated through the air. It was the last thing they were aware of before the darkness.
Hope you guys like it! This is my first non-romantic fanfic so I wanna have a lot of fun! It's totally out of my writing comfort zone but it's worth a try anyways!
