Chapter 1: Arrival in the Black Order
Slowly, she opened her blue eyes. Just blurred, the black-haired girl perceived two silhouettes.
"Lenalee, I think she's coming to herself", she observed a male voice.
"Yes brother, you are right", a female voice was heard.
The girl, who was lying in a bed, opened her eyes completely and sat up. She was apparently in a sick room, which she determined by the bed and the spartan furnishings of the room. There were bandages on her head and body because she was obviously wounded.
From the blurry silhouettes were now two distinct persons, Lenalee and her big brother Komui.
"Where ... am I?" The girl asked completely confused and looked around.
"You are in the Black Order's headquarters", Lenalee replied kindly to her question, "My name is Lenalee and that is my brother Komui. What is your name?"
"My ... My name is Sandra ...", she still stammered.
"I'm glad to meet you, Sandra", said Lenalee warmly, smiling.
"The Black Order ...? What does that mean ...?", Sandra asked curiously.
"Well ... the Black Order is the home of the exorcists who are fighting the millennium earl who wants to destroy the world with his Akuma", Komui explained.
"Millennium earl? Akuma? ", visibly confused, Sandra looked at the two.
"The Millennium Count creates Akuma with the help of human souls. These are cruel machines that help kill the innocent people, what we, the exorcists, try to prevent", Lenalee explained.
"And why are you telling me all this?", Sandra asked the two siblings wondering.
"Very simple", Komui began, "Because you're compatible."
"Compatible?"
"Yes", confirmed Lenalee. "When you arrived here, one of the Innocence fragments responded to you."
"Innocence?"
"Innocence is a mysterious substance with which we are able to fight against the count and the Akuma. Finding this substance is our task as exorcists. You're a compatible, that means you're able to use Innocence and fight as an exorcist with us side by side against the count."
"I should fight with you against this earl and akuma?", Sandra asked, slowly understanding what the two them wanted from her.
"Yes exactly. Once you have recovered, you will be going on missions with the other exorcists", Komui confirmed.
"Oh ... okay ...", Sandra said hesitantly, not quite convinced by what she had just heard.
She wondered, "Where did I get in here?", and sighed.
"Oh, and in time, Lenalee will show you the order and your room", Komui added, then took leave of the two girls and went back to his work.
Lenalee stayed with Sandra and was still talking to her.
"How did I get here?", Sandra asked.
"I do not know that either. You were suddenly at the entrance. We thought you were maybe an Akuma, but then we realized that you were a human being and you were wounded. That's why we took you to the hospital, "Lenalee explained." We noticed shortly afterwards that you are also a compatible."
"I understand ...", Sandra said, sighing, "I was just in the middle of fighting."
Suddenly her stomach growled. She blushed as she was embarrassed.
"And obviously you have not eaten anything for a long time", Lenalee noted and smiled at her.
"Yes ...", Sandra said, looking embarrassed.
"I'll get you something to eat", said Lenalee smiling.
"Thank you", Sandra replied with a smile.
Lenalee left the room to get her something to eat.
As soon as Sandra was strengthened and recovered from her injuries, she began a new life, that of an exorcist.
