A-N: Hello, my real name I shall not say, so I will use my OC's name of Teresa. This story you will probably read will contain some of the following:
Some torture and implied molestations/rape, and language
Tons of fluff
Multiple, multiple sides in a war that lasts forever
Death of some characters
Twists and turns
Implied gay/bisexual/lesbian scenes
Multiple kinds of possessions
OCxCharacter (Unless I feel like making Alma and Kanda a couple)
Besides that, I will be asking for OCs from time to time. If I have a chapter where I need OCs, I would appreciate it if the reader can comment if it would be alright if I can PM them the next chapter idea.
Whenever I make a note this long, I will make the chapter approximately thirty times as long as the note. This is a Modern AU.

Prologue: Starting Anew
'Continue to pray for a better day,' Jonathan, age eight, to his sister, before he is captured by Central.
Three months before…
The brother and sister were found by a circus that found profit in them both. Jonathan was a well fit, young kid with a kind smile on his face. Jonathan had a horrible skin condition that caused him to have dark red, scaly skin. He had brunette hair,
while his younger sibling had blonde hair. Both have very similar facial features, wide eyes, ears covered by their hair, and both are English. 'The Demon and The Angel,' as the circus called them.
Mary had a few differences from her brother, mostly in the way she behaved. Her face was always in a scowl, and she fought whoever tried attacking her. She has Caucasian skin, except for where her heart is. She and Jonathan are currently wearing black
sweat pants and blue sweaters.
In place of her heart was a green cross thing that lightly glowed. It is also what got her into a very bad predicament. One of the circus employees forced her into an empty tent, intent on seeing her heartless heart.
"Come on, kid. Show me that stupid, freakish thing!" the man yells, forcing Mary to the ground.
"Fuck you!" She screams.
"Good idea," the man says as he rips off her sweater.
Just as he does that, two small hands and two large hands grab him. He is thrown out of the tent, and this is when Mary meets a mad clown and his 'son.'
Two months later, Christmas Eve…
"M' and Terr-Bear gotta leave before that man shows up…" Aussie says. His voice is hoarse, for he had found out from Allen that Mana was killed in a car accident.
Allen, or 'Red' as he wanted Mary and Jonathan to call him. The mad clown wanted them to name themselves Aussie Darkholme and Teresa Shade. Terry and Aussie were adopted by the mad clown, and it was decided that Allen, Aussie, and Terry would share the
same birthday, on Christmas Day.
"…"
"Ni-san?" Terry calls out to her brother, while standing a ways down from the cemetary.
"Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, dude," Aussie says, hugging the other boy and walking away.
Meanwhile, in the distance, a clock chimes twelve times. Aussie and Teresa do as Mana told them. 'Never stop, keep walking.'
A day had passed, and the twins were in a cheap hotel when one of them began groaning in her sleep. Many miles away, a boy brings back his father and is given a curse before destroying his 'father.' Teresa sits upright in her bed, screaming in pain as
the left side of her face begins changing. An upside down red pentagram appears on her face, along with a red lightning strike. Then she falls back to sleep, and the next transformation begins. When the twins wake up, they are greeted to seeing shocking
white hair.
"What the fuck!"
"Ditto!"
A Month later…
Teresa looks on with fear after running away from people that were trying to kidnap her. An old man looks at her, and smiles kindly. His graying hair is nothing in comparison to her shocking white hair, and his smile reminds her of Mana and her brother,
and she begins to cry.
The man walks closer to her, his black and golden cloak flowing in the wind. She looks up at him in fear, and she falls on the ground. She looks at him, and she is reminded of Allen. Sad eyes, sad look. He walks a bit closer, until he is two feet from
the smaller.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" she shrieks, as green flames come out of her hands, her heart glowing a bright green glow.
"Do not fear me, young one. I wish to help you," he tells her. He takes off his gold head ring and places it on the girl after she calmed down.
"Those monsters took my brother away from me…" She tells him.
"Do not worry, my people are using what they can to stop Central. My name is Kevin Yaegar, and I was sent by another fellow comrade to keep you safe," he tells her
"Terry. M' name," the young girl tells him.
"Terry. That is a nickname, I take it?"
"Yeah."
Suddenly, two balls shoot out of the man's coat. The first one, a blue circle with a club on it shoots off to Terry, its wings flapping furiously. The other creature, olive sized, shoots off into a direction unknown to both.
"That is a golem made by my comrade. I am on a special mission to protect someone without a heart,"
the man tells her.
A year and a half later…
"DIE EXORCIST GENERAL!" an akuma screams at the man, who quickly destroys the enemy threat.
Kevin and Terry have been on the move; usually stay in a town for a few weeks or a month before fleeing from another attack by the evil akuma. Currently, Kevin is winning, mostly in due to the green flames of Teresa and her eye.
"Chains of the heavens!" the man yells, before the walls of the apartment he is staying at is destroyed.
"I am afraid this is your death, subhuman," a shadow man tells him.
"Mister Yaegar!" Terry screams.
She is hidden in a closet, only looking at him through the crack in the door. When the walls came apart, she didn't know what to do. So she did the only thing she could think of.
Running.
While she was running, several shots were fired from the akuma, and several shards of glass from the small apartment were sent flying at her, nonetheless the fact that she had no shoes on and her feet were badly cut. She ran as fast as her legs could
carry her, multiple level one akuma chasing after her. She felt herself weaken from not eating as much as a parasitic type should eat. She then thought of plan B, a plan that Yaegar told her how to use in emergencies. She ran towards a house that
was abandoned many years ago. Finding a door, she took a switch blade and carved seven crosses in to the door, and knocked thirteen times. A block away, the shadow man vanishes into a door right out of a gothic movie. The akuma are quickly gaining
on her as the door vanishes and reappears as a childish, large, pink door.
"Cross, if you want me to pay off another one of your debts!" a crazy man yells, until he notices a small figure quickly run into the Noah family room.
In the room, there were multiple paintings and pictures of previous incarnations. There were multiple couches and table strewn around the room. The man, who is currently a prime minister on vacation to visit his lovely 'daughter,' runs after the small
figure.
"Stop running, kiddo!" he yells after the smaller figure, while in his Noah form. The dark matter in his body told him to destroy the Innocence, yet, another part of him wanted to protect her. He called a Doll over, telling it to make sure the girl stayed
still.
Dolls are human sized dolls created by the Millennium Earl. They are used to call back ancient and young spirits using dark matter to stay stronger than the other opposing side, the Duke of Time. The Duke created his akuma to destroy the world, and the
Earl had to carefully choose people to bring back ones they loved. The dolls would fulfill the role of saying what they wish to the people that were grieved by their deaths.
Teresa looked up in fear, until her eye activated. The right side of her face was hidden from view, for she had a hoody on. She looks at the doll, and relief fills her face when she only sees a peaceful spirit surrounded by a bit of dark matter.
"Hi, my name is Jenny," the doll says, revealing itself to be a female.
"T….Terry…" She says, quietly.
Multiple sounds of footsteps are heard as the man returns with another man and a small girl. There are two dolls running with them, carrying multiple first aid kits.
"She is so adooooorable, daddy! Can we keep her, can we?" the small girl shouts, causing the smaller girl to jump.
"I don't know, my Noah wants to destroy the Innocence because of what the Heart did, but the other part wants to adopt her. Tyki, what do you think?"
"If she knows the code to come in here, then maybe she knows Cross. Honestly, maybe if she stays, our Noah can accept an Innocence user. The Black Order and Central are the problems, they still are assuming we are the bad guys," Tyki says, mostly because
of his chat with a man whose sibling was being held captive because she was an Innocence user. Tyki invited the man out to eat at a local café called Gray Café, an independently owned coffee shop that has several other shops around the world.
"It's not my fault I had to destroy that bloody Innocence! It was attacking my precious Rhode!" The man yells, holding the purple haired girl close to him.
"You guys should help Terry. She's beginning to bleed over the sofa," Jenny tells the group of bickering Noah. Jenny was killed by an attack by the Duke's akuma, and she was Rhode's best friend.
"Why are you mad about Innocence destroying a road?" the girl asks, before promptly fainting from blood loss and the need to eat.
The group began panicking, the dolls calling for more medics. The doll medics carried her to a room. In the room, hundreds of books were strewn around, and a thirteen year old boy was sleeping on top of the pile. The boy had bright red hair, and one emerald
green eye; his right eye covered by an eyepatch. He has an Exorcist uniform, one that he just felt like wearing, even though he was not supposed to be part of the Holy War. He and his master are the only ones that are not totally taking sides, and
only decided to join the war when things were becoming harsh.
"I thought you went back with that odd haired Bookman," Tyki asks the youth, after waking him up.
"Huh…yeah, the old man had to check up on a few things. He will be picking me up in about three months," the youth told him before falling back asleep.
The three Noah continuously checked up on the girl, mostly because they were afraid the bookman apprentice would try something. The girl had completely white hair, probably inherited or from some sort of shock. Her left eye has a red scar-like mark with
a pentagram on it, and Sheryl remembers he saw her look at the Doll. Her other eye, once it was done healing, was almost a mirrored image of the left. Instead of being red, it was a deep blue color, and look exactly like the outline of a gear. Both
eyes were a startling light gray color. All three knew from their Noah that the Innocence was where her heart is, making them wonder if the Innocence was keeping her alive.
Terry was currently waking up when she noticed that three gray skinned people were staring at her. She quickly sits up, startling the three Noah. All three Noah look at her and she looks at them, and then she tries to escape. She tries to run over the
paper, and ends up tripping over several books. She cries in pain, and Lavi sees her and decides to help out. This ends up with his only eye being blackened by the little girl's fist. He shouts, and the girl tries to run again, but a gray hand holds
her down. She looks at all of them, with worry in her eyes.
"Calm down, kid," Tyki tells her, as he is using his power of going through objects to sink slightly through the messy room.
"M…m…my master and I were attacked b…by monsters…" the girl stammers.
"You're safe. You used a special knock that only a few know about, making you part of the good guys," Rhode tells her. "My name is Rhode Kamelot, and I am a proud member of the Noah family." The purple haired girl says with a smile. "This badly dressed
man is Tyki Mikk," Rhode says, and Tyki, who is wearing his dirty clothes, looks annoyed at the smaller girl. "And this is my daddy, Sheryl Kamelot, the world's greatest adopted daddy ever!" Sheryl promptly has a nosebleed, and falls off of a pile
of books he was sitting on.
"We will keep you safe from all of the bad people out there. Just ask us for whatever you need," Sheryl tells the girl, knowing that someone from the Noah's very small circle must have told the girl. Most likely Cross Marian, a womanizer drunk that is
friends with one of the Noah.
"Can I have something to eat? Like, a lot. My master told me that I am a parasitic Innocence user," the girl quietly replies.
"Sure, just ask any of the Dolls wearing chef aprons or maid uniforms," Rhode tells the girl.
"Who is he?" Terry asks, seeing the almost nonexistent Lavi Bookman JR trying to exit the room.
"The weird guy you punched?" Tyki asks, causing the Bookman boy to gasp.
"He doesn't really have a name so he just asks us to call him Junior or Lavi. Unless he makes Lulu mad, which is when we call him a silly rabbit. He told us he is already called rabbit by another of his Exorcist 'buddies,'" Rhode explains to the girl.
A month passes, and Teresa is already becoming one with the odd family. She knows that currently the Noahs are waiting for eight more members. The Earl met with the girl two or three times a week, and she enjoyed drinking tea with the funny man. He allowed
her to destroy a Doll once or twice a week to make sure the Innocence did not change her into a Fallen One. The family discovered that Terry's Innocence had specific needs that caused great pain on the girl if she didn't follow through on one of them.
All three are as followed: she must eat many, many meals in a day, she must be kept warm, mainly at 21.1 degrees Celsius, or 70 degrees, and she can never stay near water for more than two minutes, or else the water would cause the burning Innocence
to slowly dim.
"Well, Gramps said I can stay for about a year or so longer, if it's alright with you guys," Lavi told the group. Terry was quite happy at this, mostly in due to the boy teaching her about the world, and where he had been to with his 'old panda gramps.'
"Go ahead, this kid needs someone to look up to," Tyki told him.
It turned out a bit differently than Teresa Shade thought…
