So I decided to write about how Avalon became an Exorcist and how Raven found she was a Noah. I think I'll start with Avalon, as I've had the idea for her story in my head for about a week now.

Avalon's POV

'Mother?' I closed the book I was reading as my mother came into the room, her dark hair shrouding her face. 'Are you okay?' I asked, concern flitting over my features. She began to laugh, not her usual carefree, light-hearted laugh, but a guttural, gurgling sound. I frowned and hopped off my bed to come closer to her, to see if anything was wrong. It definitely was. She slowly tilted her face upwards, like a clockwork toy. Her eyes were bulging and black rimmed them, spreading out into the rest of her face. I gasped and stepped backwards away from her. 'M-mother? Is that s-still you?' The only response was the continued laughter, before she exploded. Well, not really exploded, she deflated and black vine-things spewed out of her neck and arms. They shot into the air and began to form a terrible shape.

It looked like a human, only a lot taller than possible for a human. And it was made from some kind of silver metal. It had long arms, dangling to the floor, which ended in razor sharp claws, as did its feet. There was a mask or a face set into its stomach region. The face was pure white, with bulging white eyes, each dotted with a black spot, its mouth hung open as it continued to laugh and there was a black star set into the centre of its forehead. I heard a high, shrill noise, which I later realised was me, screaming in fear. I cowered against the wall; shivering and my eyes wide with fear. 'What... What are you?' The whispered words were out of my mouth before I could stop them. The creature stopped laughing and looked down at me. It's 'face' contorted into a horrible grin. It reached out a clawed hand and grabbed me. I screamed again in protest, but it continued to pick me up and bring me closer to it. Its voice came out deep and gravelly.

'Where is the Innocence?' It demanded. I widened my eyes. What was this Innocence? 'Tell me where your Innocence is!' It commanded me. I shook my head slightly, trying to indicate I didn't know what it was talking about. Wait... My Innocence? It growled and shook me. 'Give me your Innocence, little girl!' I tried to protest but only a whimper escaped my lips. It growled at me again and tossed me to the ground, like a ragdoll. I groaned and tried to sit up, but black spots dotted my vision and I slumped back down again. I coughed and red liquid spattered the floor of my room. I heard a large crashing noise and the sound of breaking glass. After trying to see what was happening, the black spots completely obscured everything and I blacked out. The only thing I could remember was a group of people, fighting the thing, the one closest to me, using a sword, a deep-set frown on his face.
