Chapter one

"Dad!" she called just as he shot it making it explode.

The Akuma was no longer a problem for Alice as she ran to her father and hugged him with all her might.

"I thought I was going to die father how did you know that I was here." She asked as she stepped back and looked at her father's face. He smiled and looked in the sky to the tiny gold golem flying by his head.

"I knew because Tim told me." He said looking at her then the golem. He took her hand and walked her towards a carriage. Inside the carriage Alice looked kind of tiered and her father noticed but he didn't want to say anything because she probably wouldn't listen to him anyway.

"Dad where are we going?" she asked in a slow groggy voice. He looked at her and smiled.

"I'm bringing you to England and from there you will be going to the black order." He said looking into her tiered eyes. She nodded and fell asleep with a smile on her face. It was a three day trip from where they were to England and it was a quite trip with no disturbances.

"Honey we're here time to get up." Cross said shaking his sleeping daughter gently. She lifted her head and looked around.

"Are you coming with me dad?" she asked with a smile. He shook his head and answered,

"No I hate the order but you have a great innocence and I need you to be safe so that's why you're going there." She shook her head she needed her father to be with her and she wanted to be with the only family she had left.

"No you can't just leave me I need you I just lost mother and brother, I need you dad!" she said raising her voice slightly as she did. He looked at her and sighed. He really hated the order and he still had a mission to finish before he could even think of going back there.

"I have other things to do dear and you will make plenty of friends that will become family to you." He said turning to get back into the carriage.

"Don't leave me please!" she cried as her dad got into the carriage and left. Standing on the sidewalk outside a little shop she decided to get a little bit of food before she set out looking for the order.

After her lunch she started to look for the order or someone to help her get to the order. She had walked for an hour and then she noticed a silver haired boy with the same coat as her father but with white cuffs instead of gold. Walking up to him she started to get a little nervous.

"Umm…excuse me but I'm trying to get to the dark order could you help me please?" she asked when she got over to him. Turning around to face her, the boy smiled and answered with a question.

"Why are you trying to find the order, and what's your name?" he asked. She looked at the ground and thought should she tell him.

"My name is Alice Marian and I'm looking for the order because my father told me to so that I can learn more about my innocence and so I had some where safe to stay." She answered with a gentle smile. He nodded and started to lead her to the order. Stopping and turning around he introduced himself to her.

"I'm Allen Walker pleased to meet you." He said holding out his hand. She shook his hand and they continued to walk. At the order they got to the gate and the gate keeper immediately did a scan of her. After the gate was opened Allen led her inside.

"Hello I'm Lenalee Lee pleased to meet you…" A girl with dark green hair said with a welcoming smile.

"I'm Alice Marian pleased to meet you Lenalee." The red head said returning the smile. Turning to Allen Alice thanked him for bringing her to the order.

"Well I'll bring you to my brother Komui so that he can help you with your innocence and give you a brief introduction to being an exorcist. Nodding Alice followed and looked around.

"Here is my brother's office, let's go see him shall we." Lenalee said walking in. Alice following right behind her she began to feel a bit nervous and light headed.

"Hello Lenalee and … who do we have here." Komui said with a smile. Alice looked over to him and bowed.

"I am Alice Rose Marian and I have being sent here by my father Cross Marian." Alice said standing up straight. Komui looked shocked the daughter of the general and he had heard that she was really strong. Alice looked at him then at Lenalee then at the floor. She had never felt so sick to her stomach.

"Welcome Alice it's a pleaser to meet you." Komui said with a smile standing from behind his messy desk.

"Thank you very much it's a pleaser to meet you to." Alice said looking at the purple haired man. He smiled and looked at his sister "let's see your innocence shall we." He said turning the light on from another room. She looked at the ground and then at the wall.

"I really don't think that would be a good idea because my innocence is a tiger with its claws and teeth." Alice said blushing. Komui didn't care he wanted to see it.

"I want you to show me that way if I have to do any repairs you can get them done." He said with a smile and a stern looking face. Alice didn't like the idea of turning tiger around him because she knew that she would need to get repairs done and that would hurt causing her to bite or scratch him. Rolling her eyes she activated her innocence and turned into a large white tiger. He was shocked at the size and the markings of the animal. Lenalee looked at her brother then at Alice she was amazed that this small girl could hold such a powerful animal within.

"Oh my, you're simply amazing I can't believe my eyes." Komui said walking over to her.

"Now let's take a look shall we, and get any repairs done so you are full strength tomorrow." Komui said as he ran a hand down her firm shoulders and strong muscled back. She nodded and purred as he continued to pet her to keep her calm while he searched for any problems.

"Well brother do you need me to get the anesthetic?" Lenalee asked walking over to him.

"Yes Lenalee I will need the anesthetic and make sure it's enough to hold a tiger." Komui said looking at the large teeth and long claws. A few hours later Alice was back in her human form and she was walking with Komui to see Helvalska.

"Hello Helvalska, we have Miss Alice Marian here today what do you think?" Komui said with a smile as Helvalska picked the sixteen year old girl up and started to count her innocence.

"20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 82% that's as far as it goes is 82% I'm sorry Komui." The glowing god like exorcist said putting her back down. Alice was shocked she had heard about Helvalska from her father as a child but she never once thought that she would meet her.

"What dose 82% mean?" The red headed girl asked. Komui looked at her and smiled, "it's your synchronization rate, and it means how well you can connect to your innocence." He said.

"Oh that makes sense now Komui-san." Alice said smiling. The two of them went back to Komui's office and she talked for a few hours.

"Well I think I'll be going to bed now I'm quite tired." Alice said with a smile.

"Good night Alice and welcome home." Komui said with a gentle voice. Alice only briefly paused and then continued to her room. "Welcome home." Komui's voice ran through her head. Was this her home her father seemed to think it was an evil place and wouldn't even go near it.

Two months later

It has been two months since I joined the order and I have made many new friends and I even think I found a home.

I like a boy with red hair and a patch over his right eye. His name is Lavi but some call him bookman JR. I just don't know how to tell him that and his grandfather would never allow it.

I haven't seen my father since the day he rescued me from the Akuma that killed my mother and brother. I don't understand why he thinks that this place is so evil I like it I love it even. It's safe and comforting. I don't know where I would be if I didn't find Allen who led me here.

Let's talk about something else like…how great missions are. I've been to so many places and have gathered so much innocence. I love it because today I get to go on a mission alone with Lavi and I mean just Lavi. That is until we meet up with Lenalee and Allen. I can't wait.

That same day

"Alice you ready to go let's get out of here." Lavi said cheerfully. Alice came out of her room with a smile and nodded.

"Yeah let's go so that we can make camp before it gets dark." She said with a matching smile. They both left the order. It was a long train ride to France and from there they would stay in a hotel for the night and in the morning try to get to a boat that will take them to North America where they would meet Allen and Lenalee and go to China.

"So Lavi why isn't Bookman here?" Alice asked to break the silence. Lavi looked at her and smiled.

"He said it would be good for me to do things for myself for once." The red headed boy answered. Smiling Alice looked around.

Crack, crack, crack.

There was something following them. Scared Alice grabbed Lavi's hand. Lavi looked around and tried to find what was making the noise.

"Who's there?" Lavi asked taking out his hammer and pushing Alice behind him. Nobody answered but the noise got louder and louder, closer and closer. Until finely a huge spider like Akuma showed up. "Give me the girl exorcist." It said trying to grab the red headed girl.

"No that will never happen; you will never get my comrades!" Lavi said activating his hammer. "I will get her for my master." The Akuma said attacking. Alice looked at the Akuma then to Lavi she knew that he didn't stand a chance against it. "Innocence activate!" the girl yelled and the next thing the Akuma knew it was being attacked by this huge white tiger. "Die exorcist!" the Akuma said trying to grab her. "You're the one dying here today." Alice said destroying it. Lavi just stood there shocked by how much strength the girl had. After that the two of them continued on their journey to North Amaerica.
