Prologue – The Unexpected Beginning
The girl slightly peeked open her eyes to the cold damp darkness. Bodies surrounded, her dead looking, but sleeping peacefully. One by one she shook them awake. Each of them were clothed in thin ragged clothing all black, all with a hood covering their faces. As they rose, their bodies slightly swayed from the never-ending hunger. The girl put down her hood to reveal long white hair in knots covered with mud. Her eyes were a dull gray with the tired look a girl her age should never have. Her small build revealed that she was no more than 15 covered with scars as were the others, the oldest of them all. Her name was Alice, Alice Walker twin to Allen Walker. Year ago she awoke with her father and brother gone with white hair and a red star with a pentacle on the top. Her eye and arm ached every time those monsters appeared. The kids with her were also like her. A glowing green substance imbedded somewhere on their bodies, or something they owned. They were all kids thrown out, abandoned.
4 bodies arose from the ground as they walked towards her. Yuki was the smallest, 12 years old with brown shoulder length hair and green eyes. She looked up warily with a small smile attempting to brighten the groups' spirits.
Gilbert was slightly taller than her with black hair curled at the tips, barely 13. He was quiet and polite and scolding them all the time. He looked at the ground with his green-gold eyes clutching the small dirtied white rabbit, the only remaining memory of his past.
Shade was about 14 and was almost as tall as Alice with short gray hair, tips barely reaching the bottom of her ear. She lacked anything feminine about her with her rude attitude and deep voice, not to mention flat chest. She looked forward with a frown on her face looking for something wrong with the sharp blue eyes she had.
Sin was also about 14 and was Shade's partner in crime. They were both jokesters and loved to fool around, when the time was right. His shoulder length black hair was held back in a small ponytail. His iridescent flame colored eyes looked dull in the darkness of the broken down house they were in.
One by one they followed Alice out of the dark shed into the brightness of the moonlit night.
"It's close." Alice whispered almost breathlessly. "Get ready I think it's strong. There are 3, no. 4 of them." She grabbed her left arm ready for action.
"I think there's some this way." Yuki said timidly as she pointed in the opposite direction. "Gilbert, come with me?"
Alice spoke up before Gilbert had the chance to respond. "Gilbert and Yuki got that way. Me, Shade, and Sin got this way. Be careful. You know the drill. Green for 'okay I can handle it'. Red for 'need backup'."
With that the two small bodies faded into the thick forest.
"Let's do this thing!" Shade said with a goofy grin on her face.

A Few Hours Before
Lenalee, Lavi, and Kanda were sent off on a mission to investigate around a town with am abnormal amount of Akuma and also a possibility of Innocence.
"We're finally here!" Lenalee said with a smile, slowly stretching from the long train ride.
"Took us long enough." Kanda muttered.
There was a growl that filled the air. "Oops! Let's get something to eat then gather info!" Lavi said in a cheerful voice.
"Stupid rabbit." Kanda muttered but followed anyways.
They arrived at a small café after following the dirt road. As they walked in they heard the happy little jingle of the bell.
"Ah! Welcome!" A tall girl said as she rushed to the door guiding the exorcists to a table.
"And what can I get you all today?" she said with a smile.
After ordering a large amount of food that Allen could have probably eaten by himself, the girl excused herself.
"Wait miss!" Lavi said as she started to walk away. "Has there been anything strange happening in this town lately."
After those words escaped Lavi's mouth the girls' smile dimmed but quickly returned. "Yes there has been, actually there was a strange monster that attacked the town the other day, about 4 days ago. It killed 3 people." She said with a sad expression on her face. "But the strange part was that it didn't return!" She brought back her original smile.
"Do you have any specific details?" Lenalee questioned.
"Um.. I, personally don't but I heard that there was a survivor of the incident down the street. I can give you directions!"
"Thank you!"
After they finished eating, paid the bill, and got the directions they headed down the street to meet a man. The man explained to the exorcists that the 'monster' headed in the direction of the forest. (I don't want to explain the whole scene so I'm cheating and skipping! This might happen a few times considering how lazy I am!)
By the time they finished gathering information it was night. They headed to the forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO LINE BREAKS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lenalee, Lavi, and Kanda could hear the screams of the Akuma.
"There seems to be a lot of them!" Lenalee shouted as they ran through the forest.
"Yeah! I wonder what their fighting!" Lavi said.
Kanda remained silent. The screams were getting louder so they slowed down to catch the Akuma by surprise. They came to an opening of the forest and came to the surprise to see 2 children fighting a level 3 Akuma. The black haired kid was fighting while the brown headed one was just standing aside muttering something.
"Kids!?" Lenalee said, the shock apparent on her face.
"Gil! I'm going to help you can't handle this one!" the brown headed one screamed avoiding bullets coming from the Akuma.
"Whatever! Just don't interfere too much or Shade and Sin will make fun of me!" the so called Gil kid called.
"Activate!" the brown haired on screamed. "5% increase attack, defense and evasion. That much okay?"
"Fine!"
The battle continued for a few more minutes until it was apparent that the kids were winning.
"Shouldn't we interfere?" said Lenalee with a concerned look on her face.
"Not yet, let's see what they can do." Lavi said with an excited look on his face.
The sound of rustling leaves made Lenalee frantic. "I think there's another one!"
Too late. Lenalee said it a second too late as the Akuma plunged a sharp looking nail object into the brown headed girl's left arm. She fell to her knees muttering curses and turned to face her enemy.
"Gil." She had a serious look on her face. "I'm going all out. This weak bastard dared to stab my arm. You better finish it quickly. You're on your own."
"Fine, let's get this one Yuki!" Gil said as he increased his power significantly.
"Destruct Bubble." Yuki said coldly. A large black bubble appeared around the Akuma surrounding it completely. "In order to save your poor soul I release my violence in destruction." She said calmly through the Akuma's screams. "The destruction of one leads to the salvation of one. Rest in peace you pitiful soul." The bubble exploded leaving no trace of the Akuma.
"Oh! Well looks like the fun is over." Gil said emotionless. "Die." With that the Akuma was split into multiple pieces.
He ran over to the girl. "You okay."
"I'm fine!" she said with a smile. "Regeneration point. Increase 75%." The endless stream of blood coming out of the wound stopped as the whole closed up instantly.
"By the way I know you're there! You're quite loud! Come on out!" Yuki said pointing to the area where the exorcists hid.
Lavi, Lenalee, and Kanda exchanged silent glances as they hesitantly stood up and walked out of their hiding places.
"We don't bite, you know." Gil teased. "I'm Gilbert and she's Yuki, but I'm sure you already knew that because you've been here for a while."
"Hey Gil! Should I use Brainwash? Now that they've seen everything. I can't really control it that well though. Last time I used it I ended up erasing ALL their memories." Yuki said innocently.
"I don't think so. It's not really our jurisdiction to decide." Gilbert said.
After the exorcists realized what was going on it was too late. They attempted to run and split up, but it was useless.
"Constrict." Yuki said as she closed her fist. An invisible rope bound all 3 of the exorcists together.
"Let's bring them to the boss. She'll decide." Gilbert said.

ALICE POV
After me, Shade, and Sin finished up beating 5 Akuma (one extra attacked us) we sat and waited for Yuki and Gilbert to come back. The rustling in the bushes signified their entrance.
"We're back and we brought guests! They were watching us and we didn't know what to do so.. Yeah we brought them back." Yuki said happily.
I smiled. "Who might these guests be Yuki?" I gestured towards the knocked out exorcists.
Gilbert walked in. "We knocked them out because they showed signs of struggle." He said simply.
I pulled up my hood and snapped my fingers so the exorcists awoke. "Who are you?" I questioned.
The girl with ponytails responded first. "We mean no harm! We're exorcists of the Black Order and came to help exterminate the Akuma!" she shouted.
Akuma? So that's what those things were. I'll have to ask later in further details.
Before I could speak she spoke again. "We're also in search of Innocence and we believe your two friends that brought us here have some. They are qualified to become exorcists! You 3 also may have some." she said.
"Can you please stop screaming? You're hurting my ears." Yuki said. Took the words right out of my mouth!
"Why exactly would to become exorcists?" I questioned.
"You'd be surrounded by friends! You'd have plenty to eat and a warm place to sleep." The girl said. Their so skinny, Lenalee thought.
"Why would we want to be surrounded by the disgusting human that abandoned us, called us monsters and threw us out?" I said almost shouting.
Silence. It filled the air. The girl shut her mouth instantly.
"Honestly! I didn't know that you people would be that sick!" I said spitting out the words. "As soon as we're useful you want us back." I started laughing. "How stupid! The only people I trusted are either gone or right here!" I turned around and sat against the tree. "Mana and Allen are gone now." I said sadly to no one in particular.
The names perked the exorcists. The red headed one sad. "Did you just say Allen and Mana?"
"Are you deaf?" I said challengingly.
"We have someone in the order named Allen and he has a dad name Mana!"
Impossible! That's impossible! Allen and Mana are DEAD! GONE! Their probably saying that so we'll join! I thought angrily.
"Prove it! What's the boy's full name?!" I said shouting. By now my friends backed up knowing not to interrupt me when I'm in rage.
"Allen Walker."
Allen Walker?
