The Memory
Introducing
Monsters.
We're all one in our own mind; our sickening mind. Even in this world there are such things as monsters.
But it's not what you think; those scary stories your siblings tell you before bed time, and the demon that hinds underneath your bed or in your closet.
No, it's much more than that.
You see, monsters do exist, you just don't realize they're there. You know why?
Because the monster is you.
I was only a kid when they found me, and it was terrible. I found that in my own way of surviving, I created a monster that not only was scary, but was real. It sounds horrific, and I agree, it truly is. Nevertheless, who am I to be telling you about what I did?
It's your job to figure out your own problems, just like I did.
Smoke.
The dense black fog covers the tall tower from a recent explosion. A girl walks up to the entrance and stares up to it. She wears a coat that covers her uniform, and carries a large bag over her shoulder. Her hair is golden, but is a dark blond from the night. Her eyes are an ocean blue, but show no emotion whatsoever. Her skin is pale, but is shows that it has been in sunlight before. She mutters something, then turns to a bat that flies next to her.
"I'm here on general Sokalo's orders," she announces to the golem. "Please let me in."
The science division walk over to the monitor showing the girl staring into the golem. A certain white-haired boy stares into the screen with delight. "Komui, is that a new exorcist?"
"It must be," the chief mutters. He adjusts his glasses and stares intently at the screen. "What is your name?"
"Komui, you know who I am. Let me in," the girl says irritated. The chief stands tall as he lifts a finger.
"Ah! But you need an identification code-"
"Zero nine seven eight. Can you please let me in?" the girl asks angrily. "It's cold out here."
"Okay, just let the gatekeeper scan you and you can come on in!" Komui says happily. The girl groans as she slowly steps up to the large head on the door. The head lowers in on her with an intense stare. It quickly leans back into its position from before, and the door opens. She walks in and sees a mass quantity of smoke and debris. She stares at it in confusion.
"What the bloody hell happened?" she asks in disbelief. Komui slowly starts to walk away as a man with blond hair walks up in annoyance.
"That's his fault," he answers whilst crossing his arms. "He built another robot and it attacked everyone."
"I see," the girl mumbles. "Listen, I must speak with Komui if you don't mind. I've got something to talk about with him."
"Sure, chief-" the man turns to find that his boss had suddenly disappeared from their view. He groans. "Johnny! Go find him!"
"Yes, cheif!" a man with glasses answers with a salute. He grabs onto a larger man's arm and pulls him to their destination. "Come on, Tapp!"
They leave and the girl is left there with the blond man and two others. They both walk up to her with small smiles. One has white hair, and the other black in pigtails. The girl stares at them in awkwardness.
"Can I help you?" she asks slowly. The Chinese girl holds out her hand with a smile.
"I'm-"
"Lenalee Lee," the girl interrupts whilst taking the hand. She shakes it with boredom. "I've met you before, you just don't remember. You're brother has this weird complex towards you, I've seen it many times."
"Oh, you've been here before?" Lenalee asks in confusion. The girl nods. "Well, you probably know who we are then."
"Hi! I'm new here, I just got back from my first mission with Kanda," the white-haired boy says with joy. He also holds out his hand to the girl and she takes it with ease. A sudden shock is sent throughout her body. She's taken back by the surge. "I'm Allen Walker!"
"It's-a pleasure to meet you," she says slowly whilst processing why she felt that surge. "My name is Allison Kinn."
"That's a nice name!" Allen says with a big smile. She smiles slightly at his comment, though is still confused about what happened when she touched his hand. The blond man from earlier jogs up to the trio.
"He's been found," he announces. "And waiting for you in his office."
:+:
"So, why'd he send you here?" Komui asks as he tries to lift from his chair. He's tied to it with a large rope, and is knotted very intricately so he won't escape. The golden-haired girl sits on the loveseat that is placed beside the man's desk. She has her arms crossed and one leg on the other.
"I actually sent myself," she admits with a sigh. Komui stares at her in confusion.
"Why? I thought you hated being an exorcist?" he asks quizzically. She stares at the floor blankly.
"I thought I was ready to go on a mission myself," she says after a few moments. His eyes narrow.
"And the general was okay with that? He's usually not one to listen to his students; he mostly kicks them to the streets after he's done training with them."
"I know, but I learned fast, since I was already working for Central before hand; I thought I could defend myself even if I didn't know my innocence all that well," she answers as she continues to stare intently at the floor. "What's with that new kid, Allen?"
"What do you mean?" he asks whilst bouncing up to release the knots.
"He has an akuma pentacle on his forehead, and white hair; what happened?" she asks blatantly.
Komui sits there silently for a few moments until he finally speaks. "Well, all we know is that he turned his father into an akuma when he was a kid. Cross took him in after Allen destroyed him with with his left arm."
"Wow, that's handful. He seems like he enjoys being an exorcist. . . Anyway, I thought I would let you know why I was here early, now where a key to my room?" the girl asks. The chief sighs then bounces over to one of his drawers.
"There's a free room next to Kanda's," he says as he tilts his head to the drawer. "There's a key inside there. Feel free to grab it."
She stands from the loveseat and walks over to him. She opens the drawer and pulls out a set of keys. "Thank you."
"Allison," Komui calls. She stops at the doorway. "Be careful around the others; I know you don't like people as much, so don't be like Kanda and threaten them."
"You ruin my fun," she says with a glare.
:+:
"So, Allison, where do you come from?" Allen asks as he shoves food in his mouth. She stares at him in worry as he gulps every last bite of food on his place. She slowly eats her food.
"I'm from England, but I'm of Norwegian descent," she answers slowly. Lenalee laughs.
"I think he meant who's your general and what was your previous work," she explains with a smile.
"Oh, well, I was originally from the higher ups in the Vatican. An innocence was found, it wanted me as its user. So when I came I here from Italy, they assigned General Sokalo as my master for training. I admit, I wanted Tiedoll, but they thought Sokalo would teach me better," Alli explains. "As for my innocence, I'm wearing them right now."
"Really? Where?" Allen asks with a mouthful of food. Alli holds up her hands and reveals two black gloves that cover the palms.
"They're gloves that turn into armoured gauntlets," Alli explains as she pulls back her hands. "Their name is Loveless."
"What nice name," Lenalee comments with a smile. Alli smiles slightly as well. "Welcome to the Order, Alli!"
Holy cow! I really hope I'm satisfied with this one! This is a remake of my original story The Caretaker, so if some who this recognize the character, then you're correct xD. I left it up if any want to read it, though I won't be updating it anymore. So, I hope you enjoy this story!
