So here I am with a D . Gray-Man fic, which I've recently regained interest in. I got the inspiration for this loosely from a music video I watched, it's not really the story from the music video that inspired this but the concept.

Kids with powers, oh yeah.

So this is one of four 'Prologues' I have planned for this fic, introducing how each character comes to realise their power and how they all initially connect to each other. I really hope you all enjoy this and don't find it too confusing….

Just to clarify Allen still has his funky ass facial scar and white hair, but he has normal arms. That cool?

I've also made all the characters a little younger than they are in series. Allen is 13, Lenalee is 15 and Kanda and Lavi are 16. So Allen is in middle school and the other three are in high school. And they go to schools with uniforms because I love uniforms /

Ok enough babbling from me, onwards with the fic!


Prologue – Lenalee Lee

What is going on?

"Lenalee come on we have to run!" Allen shouted as he grabbed onto her wrist and roughly pulled her down the oddly deserted street. Even though it was only the evening not one light was on in any home nor in the street itself. She allowed herself to get pulled along through the darkness, too entrapped in her thoughts to really process what was currently happening.

What is that thing chasing us?

Shots were being fired at them, some missing them by mere inches before colliding into the cemented ground causing shrapnel and dust to surround them as they ran. Allen's grip on her wrist tightened and she looked up into his face as he looked back at her, so full of worry and fear. He was younger than her at just thirteen years of age, yet he was the only one out of the two of them with enough common sense to attempt to escape. She suddenly felt useless, why couldn't she snap out of it? She'd always thought that in the face of danger she would be able to protect those important to her but here she was dazed, afraid and crying. Relying on Allen, who she loved like a little brother, to save her life.

Snap out of it. Snap out of it. Snap out of it.

Another shot was fired at them, this time hitting the ground near their feet causing the both of them to tumble, falling down hard enough to cause multiple scrapes and injuries on their bodies. Allen had fallen down face first, and had scraped his head so hard that there was a continuous flow of blood oozing down his face. Her eyes widened at the sight. Her dear friend was getting injured, she needed to do something. She needed to get them away.

Snap out of it. Snap out of it. SNAP OUT OF IT.

And as she gazed backwards towards the grotesque and hideous floating demons that were trying to kill them, something inside of her snapped. Her vision went completely white as though she had been blinded by a sudden light.

Awaken to your true potential.

Who are you? Why are you talking in my head?

Now is not the time for the answers you seek, child. Now go. Do what you were born to do. Defeat the demons. Purge their souls.

The whisper faded out to nothing, and she knew that whoever this mysterious voice was they were not going to say anything more to her. Through the blank whiteness that surrounded her, shecould hear desperate muffled screams echoing in the background.

Are those my screams?

And as her vision came back she wasn't where she had been before.

She was up in the sky looking down at the demons that now looked like nothing but small specks. She felt a weight in her arms and looked down to see Allen held tightly in her grip, he looked up at her with an expression of extreme shock, and as her mind began to clear her eyes widened as the realisation came.

I'm doing this?

"What did you just do?" Allen whispered to her, as he gazed down towards the ground with frightened eyes, the frightened eyes of a confused child.

And she looked at him, tears of fear and astonishment still dripping from the corners of her eyes.

"I-I don't know what's happening, Allen" she sobbed as she held on to him, realising this could be the last time she would hold him and he would hold her.

And gravity took hold of them as they began the descent back towards the earth.

Use your power child. Utilise it. And kill the demons that seek your demise.

"Lenalee shouldn't we be falling faster?" he asked, voice wavering and cracking as he fought the tears that wanted ever so much to fall. She looked down and too realised how slow their descent was.

'Why are we descending so slowly? We should be falling faster than this, we are practically drifting downwards.' She thought to herself as she tightened her arms around Allen's waist, who in turn tightened his own around her neck.

And a moment of realisation came to her as she recalled what the voice whispered to her not moments ago.

Use your power.

And it came to her as though it was something she'd known but forgotten. Her true power came to her mind and she realised what it is she was capable of doing.

Gravity. I can control it.

"Allen you're going to have to trust me here ok. Whatever you do don't let go of me you hear?" She spoke in a commanding voice, the fear evaporation as she realised what she could do, what she would do.

"What do you mean, what are you going to do?" he asked as he kept his grip on her as he was told to do. He didn't receive his answer though as the air was suddenly sucked out of him as their fall suddenly accelerated in speed.

They were falling so fast that she could feel the pressure of the winds against her entire body, but still she continued to add pressure. She gazed down at their point of landing; the spot the demon that had attacked them was situated.

Allen began to scream as the ground got closer and closer.

She gazed down towards the demon and pressed both her feet together as the distance between them closed and she landed on its head, she could hear and feel the cracking of something underneath her feet. After the impact she bent her knees and used the demon as a springboard and did an elegant flip backwards before gently floating down the ground as though both she and Allen weighed nothing more than a feather.

She let go of Allen who had dropped down to his knees after his legs gave away due to the shock, his breathing was erratic and he sat there trying to regain control of it.

How are my legs not damaged after that?

The demon shell-like outer layer began to crack from the point of impact before it suddenly exploded into dust. Evaporating into the air and leaving nothing behind as if it hadn't existed at all. Once it had fully evaporated Lenalee collapsed onto the ground, all her strength from before leaving her as she began shaking again from the fear of what had just happened. She turned her head to look at her friend, who was now beginning to breathe evenly again, his hand clutching at his chest as he inhaled through his nose and exhaled through his mouth.

After his breathing evened for certain he turned his head to look over to her, his expression one of utter amazement.

"Whatever you just did, it was utterly amazing" he breathed out.

"Powers.. they're my powers." She said as though it was one of the most normal things in the world. Allen cocked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow.

"Powers? As in super powers? Those surely can't exist, Lenalee!" he exclaimed.

"You're seriously going to say that they don't exist after what just happened? I don't doubt anything not existing at this point, Allen." She said as the normal quietness of the night settled back in. Allen got up first and helped her back to her feet and they both attempted to brush off all the dirt and dust off their now filthy school uniforms. Lenalee stepped towards Allen and tried to wipe away some of the blood running down his face, before gently taking hold of his cheeks and inspecting his face for further injuries.

"What do you think those creatures were Lenalee?"

She was quiet for a moment, trying to come up with an answer before settling on just calling them what she'd been calling them thus far.

"Demons, Allen. They were nothing short of Demons."

You must find the others. Find the other compatibles. And together you must defeat the demons. Before they kill you.
