Chapter 1
"Somebody!" She screamed, running through the doors of the infirmary. "Help him!"
Several nurses in the room stood up alarmed by her entrance. Lenalee crashed into the arms of the nearest woman and sobbed. She was trembling, terrified- as if she was going to simply fall apart.
"What's wro-?"
The doors swung open again and the woman looked up, her eyes became large immediately.
"My God,"
Allen and Kanda were covered in blood, most of which didn't belong to either of them. The slumped, unmoving body between them was barely recognizable, except for the soaked head of hair cascading down his face. Red in color, it blended with the crimson shade of his wounds.
"Get him over here!" The head nurse took charge, having the young man placed on a medical table. The other medical personal rushed to get supplies and hurried to her side.
Lenalee was now in Allen's arms. He had a hand on the back of her head as she cried into his shirt. Carefully, Allen watched the scene before them and bit down on his lip. Kanda stood nearby faced toward the door; he could still see all the commotion out of his peripheral vision. Part of him intended to leave, wanted to leave, and it was in his pride to do so. But Kanda didn't move. He planned to only stay so long, he would never admit it, but Kanda was worried.
Only a couple minutes had passed before the three were forced to leave.
Kanda walked off immediately, while Allen stayed stationary in the hallway with Lenalee. She was still shaking, but her sobs had calmed down immensely.
"He's going to be fine," Allen whispered, stroking her hair. "He'll be just fine,"
Lenalee gasped, clenching onto Allen's clothing tighter.
"Lavi... he..." Her voice shook. "How did he?"
"Shh..." Allen held her closer. "That's not important right now,"
She was crying harder again.
Allen swallowed hard, his own eyes blurring with tears he quickly blinked away. He didn't even know what had caused Lavi to end up in such a state. The redhead had gone missing during the battle, only for Kanda and Allen to find him several hours later clinging onto what little life he had left.
Lavi had been lying in a puddle of his own blood. His ribs shattered, and one of his knees busted. It looked as if someone had taken a knife to the palms of his hands and his face, and also stabbed him in the shoulder. Lavi's clothing had been shredded as well, barely covering his mangled body. Allen had thought he was dead once they found him; his heart had stopped in that moment. But the junior bookman was still breathing, and warm- luckily he hadn't been lying there for very long.
"Lavi's strong, Lenalee," Allen spoke up, reassuring himself as well.
"Y- Yeah," She whispered back, keeping her head down. "I... I know,"
Allen closed his eyes. He was heartbroken over the incident, but also frustrated. A frustration that slowly became anger. Whatever or whoever did this, had singled out Lavi. They had also purposely left him alive, maybe by chance, but for some reason Allen doubted that.
"Come on..." He gently moved Lenalee along with him. "You should lie down,"
She was lightly whimpering now, her tears had drained away her energy. Allen did most of the walking for her and helped her to bed. She was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
"Good night, Lenalee," He whispered, brushing a loose strand of hair away from her face. He was at least happy Lenalee hadn't been a part of that mission; she would have reacted much worse if she had found Lavi instead of Allen or Kanda.
Leaving the room, Allen closed the door behind him. He sighed, looking down at his hands, still stained with blood.
"Damn it!" He hit his fist on the opposing wall. Frantically, he searched his mind for reasons why he hadn't found Lavi before then. Was he really that distracted? Had he simply not made it over fast enough? All of these questions made Allen's head hurt. He couldn't blame himself for this, but that was a hard task to accomplish.
"Whatever... did this," He muttered to himself, clenching the fist against the wall tighter. "I'll find them,"
Allen turned away and finally walked back to his own bedroom. His mind actively continued to look for answers that didn't exist, while flashes of Lavi's broken body remained lingering on the surface of it all.
He could already tell sleep was not going to come easy for him tonight.
