DISCLAMER: IREALLYWISHIOWNEDDGRAYMANBUTDANGITIDONTITSUCKSIKNO W
I slammed into what used to be a shoe store, bricks raining down on and around me. Hot needles pricked at my right shoulder, and shoulder down was numb with blazing pain. Ignoring the pain, I pushed myself up onto my knees, rubble imbedded into my face from the crater I had created.
Bass laughter came from the air, echoing around me. I whipped my head around, searching for the source of the sound. Wincing, I shakily stood up. "Where are you?" I shouted into the air.
"Right here." The deep voice chuckled behind me. My eyes widened in surprise, but before I could defend myself, two taloned hands locked together in a fist came crashing into my stomach. Sending me once again, sprawling to the ground in a harsh matter.
Shakily, I raised myself onto my left elbow (since my right shoulder down had become uncooperative) and looked up just to see the level three disappear. I winced and closed my right eye as blood started to flow over it, masking it with crimson iron. My head pounded with excruciating pain, and I grit my teeth as I tried to move my left leg. To the knee down spasms of pain radiated with intent on bringing me agony. I tried once again in vain to stand up and let out a moan.
Determined to bring the akuma down, I gripped my innocence, a rapier called Lullaby, and concentrated. A glow of warmth spread through me and a glow of light surrounded me. "Rondos Strike." I whispered.
Using my last bit of strength, I forced myself into a kneeling position and slashed at the sky. A blast of green energy connected with the tip of my sword and spread throughout the city, electrocuting the level ones into nothing.
I fell onto my hands and knees, than collapsed from the pain. Weakly, I reached for my sword. Rondos Strike only affected level ones and twos, and I was up against a level three, this was no time to lose consciousness. Just as I brushed the tip of Lullaby, darkness consumed my vision.

"Come on Cal! It's not that scary!" Jazz called to me from up in the pine tree, one of many that surrounded the mansion that we lived in and I worked at.
Panicking, I dropped the load of laundry I had been assigned to do and ran to the tree. "Master Jazz please come down from there! You could get hurt!" I panicked at the bottom.
The blonde boy smiled at me with a mischievous glint in his blue eyes. "Only if you come here! And if you don't, I tell on you for not doing your chores." He blackmailed gleefully.
My mouth hung open like a door, fists clenched so tight my knuckles were white as a chalk board. I felt my face burn so red, that I was sure my freckles had disappeared under my rage. Sometimes it was hard for me to believe we were both ten years old. Sighing angrily, I grabbed the nearest branch and started climbing to where the blonde was.
The annoying child cheered loudly for me to hurry up which made me want to go excruciatingly slow. Instead, steadily I climbed, not daring to look down incase I missed the next branch. I knew I was high in the trees now, and falling would definitely hurt.
A bit nervous, I grabbed the next branch to here it crackle a bit but not loud enough to sound like it would break. Slowly I added my other arm so that I hung to the branch. I looked up to see I was almost to Jazz and sighed. Curiously, I looked down to see how far I'd come, and instantly regretted it.
I was so far up that it seemed as though I was the sun looking at the earth, dizzy, I tightened my grip on the branch, and squeezed my eyes shut. Jazz yelled at me to hurry up and I knew if I didn't make it to the young master fast enough I'd definitely get in trouble. Frightened, I shakily reached for the next branch to hear a heart stopping snap.
I let out a blood curdling scream as the branch supporting my weight broke and I tumbled down with gravity. The scream soon stopped by smacking into another tree branch, knocking the air out of me. Pine needles slashed at my face as i fell and I knew the pain would be worse as soon as I hit the ground.
Large hands caught me and held me to their chest tightly. I immediately opened my eyes and blushed. Holding me was Jazz's sixteen year old brother Gran, who shared similar hair color but had stormy gray eyes.
Gran tightened his grip around me, bringing me to his chest. He smiled at me than transferred his gaze to the pine tree where jazz had started climbing down. "Jazz, get down here right now!" He glared at his younger brother.
"Alright alright!" Jazz complained and climbed down faster.
When Jazz finally made it down, Gran set me gently on the ground and returned his attention to his younger brother. Jazz knowing he was about to get the scolding of a life time developed a sudden interest in his shoes.
Gran opened his mouth, but before any words could be spoken an attendant of Grans came up to him. "Lord Gran Fury. You and lord Jazz have been asked to join your parents in a meeting with...a guest."
Gran narrowed his eyes but nodded, and jazz moaned in complaint. Just as the three started to leave, the gray eyed man turned back to me and crouched down to my level. "Will you be alright now Cal?"
I smiled and nodded, quickly curtsying and grabbing my basket full of laundry and left. I hummed a small tune and smiled as I went on my way to finish up my chores. A glint of red catching my eyes as I walked into the mansion.
Curiously, I turned my head to the color to see the master and who I presumed to be the guest walk past me. The guest had long red hair, and wore a half a mask. He wore strange clothes and a hat with a strange golden golem on it. The intimidating man looked at me as the master and him walked past me.
I tightened my grip on the basket, and continued on my way to the chamber maid to give the clean laundry to her. Silently, I wondered who the man was, but he quickly slipped my mind with the thought of chores.
Waves of pain ran through my body as I felt myself return to my consciousness. My eyelids felt as heavy as led, refusing to open, and left me to wonder if I was in the same location I had fainted. If I was...where was the akuma?
My train of thought was interrupted by the sound of feet crunching against the ground, getting louder to signal their approach. Two warm arms latched themselves around my neck and under my legs, slowly picking me up. My arms swung limp at my sides, and I let out a moan of pain.
More slowly, the arms brought me to their broad chest, making me guess they were a male. My head perched under his neck, and he tightened his grip around me, which, confusingly, made me feel a radiant amount of reassurance. The stranger than began to walk.
Begrudgingly, I forced my eyelids to open at least a bit. Once open, I peeked up to look at their face. The first thing I noticed was that he had gray eyes, feelings of déjà vu came to mind. Besides his stormy eyes, he had rare white hair that glistened in the sun, and a red pentagram scarred his face.
This didn't explain were the akuma had disappeared though. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Looking down to where his clothes where I found my answer, not completely surprised. On his jacket was the crest of the black order. This boy, no older than me, was an official exorcist.
Feeling as though he was being watched, the mysterious man glanced down at me and smiled to see I was awake. "Don't worry miss, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just moving you to a safer location." He said as if to reassure me he wasn't planning on hurting me.
The thought made me smile since he obviously didn't know I was as well an exorcist, not a random civilian who had stupidly not ran. I giggled softly, causing him to tilt his head in confusion.
"I'm sorry," I smiled brightly and got lost in his stormy eyes for a second before coming back down to earth, shaking my head slightly since I was injured. "Thank you, Mr Exorcist."
The man smiled. "The names Allen, miss."
"Alright than Allen, thank you for saving me." I sighed and rested my eyes once again, content with listening to the steady beats of his heart. Allen tightened his grip, which for some reason, made me feel safer than I had in a long time. I knew i was with someone who could protect me.
My wounds soon became blissfully numb, which was irritating and bad, but made it easier to not scream in pain. Leaving me just to listen to Allen's breathing and the other noises around me, the summer breezes had finally started dying down and crisp air was filling the sky. Autumn my favorite season was approaching.
"Am I aloud to know your name Miss?" Allen asked quietly, just in case I had fallen asleep.
I didn't answer immediately, but figured I might as well. "I'm Cahlina."
"Pleasure to meet you Miss Cahlina."
"Cahlinas fine, haha, it's nice to meet my rescuer." I joked, and Allen laughed heartedly.
I heard and felt the steady tempo of his heart quicken a bit. Just as I was about to fall asleep I heard Allen say something, but it was garbled by the sound of alluring sleep.
