The Different Shades of Gray
Chapter 1- Black and White
The shadows in the crowd formed a blanket for 'them' to hide in, but how many? One, three, six, seven? How many?
Which on of them is 'them'?
A chill went through him for one, two seconds; until he remembered 'they' cant tell who he is now. He relaxed his body, and remembered what his teacher said to him a long time ago…
We wear this uniform 'they' know who we are, unlike you we can't see them…you must not have felt this kind of fear we feel, do you…Allen?
Remembering this he reached to touch his blinded eye, his cursed eye. Bookman said it will heal in a couple of days.
But…
"Allen!"
He turned to see who it was…Rabi…he thought to himself as the red-haired boy landed right in front of him, his headband flying off. He bended down to pick it up saying,
"Komui said because of your eye we chouse take a break at the summer house on the beach, but be careful because we are also there because there is some kind of activity, 'their' activity"
'Akuma…of course' Allen thought as he recalled of its definition…
An anti-weapon against humans, created by a tragic called who brings back a dead love one, thus forming an akuma.
Allen nodded. His life was dedicated to destroying akumas, as an exorcist and as a promise to his father.
Mana…
"Allen…Allen!"
Allen broke away from his daze realizing they were here, at the summer house. He turned to Rabi. "Is Linalee staying with us?" Rabi shook his head.
"Nah, Komui is too protective of her to let her stay with us."
"I see"
Allen walked up the porch and slowly entered the door. As he walked in the kitchen he saw Rabi outside playing with the sand, making a castle and having it washed away by the sea.
"My castle!" Rabi cried as he chased after the declining seas. Allen laughed to himself and walked down the hall. There were three bed rooms, one already occupied by Rabi's mess which consisted of mostly newspapers and books full of notes.
How messy…
He then glided down to an empty room, his room. "I'm home" He said to himself and smiled. He jumped on his new bed, as he started sinking into the fluffy cushions his vision blurred and he fell asleep.
Tick Tick Tick…
The clock drowned out every sound in the night, or maybe it was just too quiet.
It didn't matter…
The seconds passed by and the minute hand struck 12.
Chime…Chime…
The clock stroke 2 AM.
Allen rose slowly. He yawned and looked out the window seeing the black sky consumed by stars.
It's late…
Never less he walked out of the house feeling the wind blowing against his cheeks. He took a few steps out to the sand bar and watched the ocean waves.
"What's your name?"
Allen turned to see who it was but no one was there. He looked harder searching through the fog. 'What was that?' He thought.
Just my imagination…
Allen sighed. 'Maybe I'm just too tired.' He thought.
"Mana…" He touched his eye. "Wait for me…only for a couple of days...I'll be back..."
He walked back in the house. Only he, his left eye could see akumas…but now he won't be ale to see them for a while.
Reaching his bed, he laid down "Seven ore days and I will return to the world of black and white."
Feeling tired he closed his eyes and fell asleep once again as the clock stroke three.
"Exorcist…Allen Walker…"
End of Chapter One…
