The Awakening of a Noah
Chapter 1: Over and Over
The wind blows in his face, through the bars in his small rectangular cell. The young boy with shaggy brown hair and bluish-gray eyes shivered as a chill ran up his back. The boy could do nothing because of the cage not having anyway to stop the wind. He hated this place. This orphanage was supposed to be a "warm" and "welcoming" place at least that's what the flier had said. In actuality this place was cold and anything but welcoming especially to a "demon" such as himself.
Demon! A harsh and coarse voice yelled from across the room. The man who yelled came up to the boy's cage and opened it with his key. The lock at first was unresponsive and didn't move due too it's old age.
Please. Oh god please let that lock no- "Clink"….. "Thud" The boy's thoughts were halted as the man forcefully took him out of the cage. The man led the boy outside where the village priest, mayor, and villagers all were. The boy looked in horror as there was a makeshift coffin next to the priest and everyone was holding torches.
Be gone fowl demon! In the name of God we will send your soul back to the depths of hell so that we may have a plentiful harvest again! The priest chanted this as the boy was forced into the coffin.
Kill the Demon! The crowd yelled in unison as they lit the coffin on fire with their torches.
No! Stop! No! NOOOOO- Allen woke up from his nightmare sweating buckets and panting heavily. As he looked at his surroundings, he was calmed to see that he was in his own room at the place he called home, the European division of the Black Order. Allen sighed running his parasitic innocence hand through his snow-white hair. Knowing he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep Allen got up and got ready. After taking a much-needed shower and brushing his teeth Allen began putting on a plain white shirt and some slacks. Before leaving his room he looked at the mirror and saw a familiar being staring at him smiling. For the first time though, Allen heard the being speak. This surprised Allen, as the being usually was just an observer.
Allen…. The being says. Allen, shocked, did not respond.
Allen, you and I both know you can hear me. The being repeats a bit of annoyance present in his voice
"Y-Yes…?" Allen stuttered a response.
You may call me Neah and if you want I could tell you a way to stop that nightmare you keep having. Neah replied forming an all too familiar sadistic grin at that the end of his response.
Allen shivered thinking of a certain blue spiky haired Noah. "How?" Allen questioned.
Easy! Kill all those degenerate humans! Make their blood paint the very walls where they tortured you for that disgusting left arm of yours! Neah yelled with a sinister smirk.
"*Sigh*…I couldn't do that I'm not a killer!" Responded Allen.
You're mask doesn't trick me like everyone else Allen, I know you hate humans just as much as I do for what they did to you. I also know deep down you hate that left arm of yours. Neah retorts.
Without a response Allen just leaves his room. Allen went to the cafeteria to see all of his friends there. Upon entry Allen notices a black piano in the middle of the room. Still shaken by what Neah had said Allen goes straight to the table and doesn't get any food. Lenalee was the first to notice saying in a surprised way "You aren't going to eat anything Allen-kun?"
"Yeah. That's not like you Moyashi-chan." Lavi says agreeing with Lenalee.
Allen with a fake smile replies, "I'm just not very hungry is all. Oh and my name is Allen! Baka Usagi!"
Lavi immediately knows it's a fake smile, but decides to not push the matter further and just laughs. Soon everyone joins in.
"Hey why is there a piano in here?" Lavi asks gesturing towards the black piano in the middle of the room.
"Brother said that the cafeteria was too boring and needed something to lighten the mood a bit." Lenalee answers.
"No one is playing it though" Lavi remarks.
Allen suddenly stands up and walks to the piano. He sits down on the piano bench and starts playing leaving everyone at the table gawking.
Inside Allen's head
"I'm not in control of my own body." Allen says.
You're right. I am. States Neah.
"Why?" Allen asks shocked.
Because… It's begun Allen the day you dreaded the most you're becoming a Noah. Now there is good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first? Asks Neah.
"The bad news." Responded Allen who is still trying to comprehend what he was just told.
This is going too hurt. A lot. Also, you're going to have to leave the Order. Now I'm not saying you have to join the Earl but you do need to leave, however if you want my opinion I say you join the Earl because he'll be able to take care of you whilst you're under going the transformation.
"And the good news?" Allen says trying to hold back tears.
Because of certain circumstances you'll still be in control of your body and mind. All I'll do is act as your coach to your Noah powers.
"Ok. Why am I playing the piano though?" Allen asks.
It's the only way we can summon the Noah family while you're not a Noah. The Earl should be appearing really soon.
Back in the Outside World
Everyone is too amazed to even say anything. Even Lavi doesn't say anything he only thinks "I wonder….could this have to do with that more-fake than usual smile Allen put out earlier? I need to record this." Allen up until now had been playing a Mozart classic now however he moves to none other than the 14th's melody.
