CHAPTER 1

Innocence in you

There are many types of silence. Calm silence, warm silence, cold silence... But the one that Lenalee was dreaming about wasn't neither of them. It was silence, which was full of emptiness.

Ruins were all around her and she wanted to scream, but in this empty space it was imposable...

In this dream her hair was long and she wasn't wearing her dark boot's blood chains. She wasn't exorcist. She was just a girl, who was scared to death.

Her mind was suddenly filled with one image: Allen-kun, Allen-kun ... You are the only one, who understands...Bring me back to my world, Allen-kun...

She was trying to recall his warm smile, his sad and yet bright eyes...It was the only way that could keep her alive in this nightmare. It was the only thing that could help her not to fall any further.

Allen-kun.

Lenalee...

She heard his voice. It was as if the light came out from somewhere.

Lenalee, I am here...

Lenalee's violet eyes were sparkling with tears as she was struggling to turn to it. She couldn't even move her hand towards that warm light.

Allen-kun, I can't... Please,

Suddenly he appeared in front of her, with his usual smile but something was wrong about him. His eyes were different. They weren't evil or frightening. They just weren't Allen's eyes and his pentagram scar was gone.

Lenalee stopped struggling and looked into the eyes of that stranger.

Who are you?

Stranger chuckled to himself, exactly like Allen and bowed as gentleman.

I am Innocence, he said and smiled at her. I thought that you wouldn't be scared if I appeared like this in front of you.

Lenalee didn't know what to say, so she just asked: What do you want from me?

Innocence just continued smiling and than slowly came closer to her unmoving body. I need you to take me with you.

Lenalee's eyes widened.

What do you m-

But she didn't get the chance to finish as Innocence pressed his lips to hers.

Something happened. Lenalee could feel the hot aura of the stranger getting stronger and stronger. She was dumbed by his power. She couldn't feel his lips, nor his eyes anymore. The light came from him and in one flash he vanished. Lenalee opened her eyes and saw the sphere of light in front of her. Everything else was dark.

Young waman was in shock as she felt that sphere slowly moving into her body. Lenalee burned...

***

"Lenalee-sama! Lenalee-sama!!! Open your eyes, Lenalee-sama!"

Head nurse was desperate. Fifteen minuted ago someone smashed the door open with female exorcist in his hands. It was non other than Allen Walker. He had a look of a madman. She never saw him like this.

"Head nurse! HURRY!! Lenalee!" He was shouting like crazy. As head nurse was trying to get hold of Lenalee's fragile body, he was telling her what happened, but she couldn't understand a half of it because of his trembling voice.

"I found her near the bathrooms on the third floor, she was ... She was throwing up and... the blood was everywhere...I...but why the blood...I ... I think she has a high fever...Head nurse, please DO SOMETHING! The blood!" his body was shaking uncontrollably as he was watching head nurse cleaning Lenalee's face.

"I must ask you to leave Walker, I will need to check her out properly."

"But-"

"No 'but' Walker, you have done enough,"

With that Allen left. It was tearig his chest apart but he had to. With the pale face he sat on the chair outside the room, when he saw Lenalee's older brother making his way towards the office.

They didn't make any eye contact when Komui passed him and shut the door of the room where Lenalee lay behind him.

When he did that, Allen had the feeling that some kind of a string was cut off between him and an ill girl. Hard sob left his chest and silent tears started to roll down his face.

He couldn't understand why he was so shocked by this. He was used to seeing his comrades injured or even on the verge of death. He even saw Lenalee in such a bad shape that she couldn't walk anymore... So why now... Something was wrong. Something was off with her illness or whatever it was.

He only knew that something deep within him was denying what he saw today.

***

It was only after the midnight when Nurse came out. Allen immediately sprung to his feet and from the look on her face he understood that he was allowed to go inside. Without any hesitation he stepped into the room.

When he saw Lenalee on the bed, clean, pure and without any trail of blood on her body, the stone fell off of his heart. He slowly made his way to her but stopped, when saw Komui sitting near the wall, opposite to the bed.

Komui's face was pale and his eyes were red. No doubt he was exhausted and worried. Allen was watching him, trying to make an eye contact as the sign of the approval. It was as if an invisible line was all around Lenalee's bed and Komui was it's guard. When Komui caught young exorcist's look he slowly nodded.

Allen came closer to Lenalee and silently took the place as near as he could to her bed. She was sleeping with a calm look on her face as if nothing has happened.

Komui stood up and placed his hand on Allen's shoulder. Allen thought that he would murder him but Komui just said "I will go now Allen-kun, take care of her, for now," And with that he left.

Allen sat there for a long time. After a while he risked to call her name.

"Lenalee..." He whispered.

While watching her, Allen, without further thinking, gently placed his hand on hers

Suddenly the tear fell down from his left eye. It was a tear of blood. His eye was bleeding. It hurt like hell but he didn't dare to let go of her hand. Something was odd. He couldn't help but notice that Lenalee herself felt different. No, not different... New. His body started to burn and his mind went blank. He knew this feeling...No, now is not the time for you to come out...14. He thought with all his strength and fainted.

***

First thing Komui did, when he shut the door of the hospital wing, was to go to Hevlaska.

When he arrived, giant exorcist, who was the guardian of innocenece within the order, said: "Komui, I know why you are here,"

Komui looked seriously at her. "Hevlaska, Lenalee..."

"I know. Bring her to me after she wakes up. There are things we need to confirm,"

After that they were silent. Hevlaska, feeling that Komui was at his limit, touched his face gently and said, "No worries my dearest friend. I am sure God's intentions aren't to harm her. Maybe we will even witness a miracle,"

"Hevlaska, what do you mean?"

Hevlaska smiled her usual mysterious smile, "I don't know yet, but I am sure something wonderful has happened tonight,"
