Puppet

"Come now, nephew; let Uncle Neah take care of everything." The fourteenth tugged on the chain, which caused Allen to lurch forward.

"You're not my uncle. Besides I don't want you to 'take care of everything.'" The young exorcist decided there was no point in being polite to the Noah.

Neah didn't seem to be listening to his host. "You and the Earl, everyone's going to go mad. All of you little puppets." It sounded like he was trying to turn the words into lyrics.

"I'm not going to become your puppet." Allen argued.

The Fourteenth apparently heard this last part. "You already are, Allen."
