Ryo: Hi guys. This is my first -Man story. I've been wanting to write one ever since I became obsessed with the anime. So, I hope you all read and enjoy this…

The Mansion

Prologue: A mansion by the coast

(1965 – Scotland, United Kingdom)

A plane was flying in the sky with several passengers on board in it. One of them was sitting in her seat while taking out her wallet. She was a 16 year old girl with dark green hair, tied to two ponytails, purple eyes and wears a dark blue and white uniform, dark blue skirt and dark blue boots. Her name was Lenalee Lee.

Lenalee took out a photo from her wallet and she smiled at it. It was a photo of her standing next to her older brother, Komui, who wraps an arm around her.

"My older brother once told me when I was a little girl…that I'm a special person. And one day, I'll do great things." Lenalee's voice narrated. "And you know what?"

Suddenly, the lights in the plane went out, causing Lenalee to gasp and widen her eyes in shock. The other passengers in the plane screamed and panicked. Then, Lenalee yelped when she could feel that the plane is going down.

She held onto the armrests of her seat tightly and shuts her eyes tight, bracing herself and preparing for her fate.

The passengers continue to scream and panic until only a few seconds later, the plane fell to the sea below and crashes.

"He was right…"

The Mansion

"My name is Lenalee Lee…and this is my story…"

A few seconds after the crash, Lenalee snaps open her eyes and looks around. She was surprised that she has survived the crash. She is currently inside the cold waters, and its temperatures are causing her whole body to feel numb. She widens her eyes when she saw a plane propeller sinking to the bottom. She tilts her head up to the water's surface and quickly swims her way up.

When she reaches the surface of the water, she gasped for air and breathes in huge mouthfuls. She then drew the water from her face with her hands. After that, she looks around and sees the remains of the plane she was in before.

The plane's wings and remains were blazing with fire and ashes were raining down from the sky.

Lenalee looked around and sighed. There were no other people around her. She knew that she is the only survivor. She then swam away from the crash site and swims her way to shore.

After several minutes of swimming, Lenalee finally arrive at the water's edge and climbed onto shore, her soaked wet dress feeling as if it weighed over three thousand pounds. The struggle made her collapse onto the muddy bank panting.

Lenalee then began to shiver and cry. She is the only survivor of a plane crash, and she's all alone. She didn't know what to do next. She was peacefully taking her flight to Iceland, and all of the sudden, this has to happen? Why is God doing this to her? Why the sudden twist?

After sobbing for a while, she steadily stood up and flips away the few strands of hair that were dangling in front of her face. She decided not to stay around and cry her heart out. She need to find a place to stay for the night…or maybe a few days, or even weeks or months until she could find a way back home.

Suddenly, she gasps and tilts her head up when she saw light shining from the distance. She decided to run her way to the source of the light.

She continues running until she stops in front of a huge mansion. The light came from one of the mansion's windows and it turns off by itself.

Lenalee slowly walks over to the mansion's doors. She took a deep breath, then knocks on the doors two times.

She then could hear footsteps walking over to the doors from the other side. She backs away when she sees the doorknob turning, then the door swung open, revealing a 15 year old boy with messy white hair, a red scar across his left eye and wears a red ribbon around his neck, grey vest, white long-sleeved shirt, grey pants and black shoes.

The boy simply smiled at Lenalee. "Hi, can I help you?"

Lenalee stared at the boy dumbfounded for a moment, then spoke up, "Um…yeah. Hi. I'm...kinda lost. So I wanted to look for somewhere to stay in for maybe a few nights, so…can I please stay in this mansion?"

The boy smiled again and said, "Sure. Make yourself at home." He opens the door wider, allowing Lenalee to walk into the mansion. "Follow me."

Lenalee then followed the boy into the mansion's lobby. As they walk, the lights automatically turned on, and romantic music starts to play from a phonograph.

"Wow." Lenalee said amazed.

"I know. This mansion is very grand. What's your name anyways?" The boy asked.

"Oh right. Lenalee Lee."

"My name is Allen Walker." The boy, now known as Allen Walker, said. "You don't sound like a British."

"Yes, I'm not a British. I'm a Swiss."

"Ah yes, Switzerland. Lovely place. My master has been there before."

"Master? Who is your master?"

Allen hesitated. Somehow, he knew that she might ask this question. "Um, my master…is the only person who owns this mansion."

Lenalee raised an eyebrow. "Very well then. Never mind."

"It's okay." Allen turned to Lenalee and smiled. Lenalee smiled back. For some reason, she loves it when Allen smiles.

Lenalee followed Allen into a room at the second floor. It was a huge room and has a nice large white bed. But it was also messy. Clothes thrown everywhere, the floor littered with papers.

"Cozy," Lenalee replied with a smile.

"I… need to tidy…" Allen said. He immediately grabs a handful of paper from the floor and stuffing it into the trash can. "Like I said before, make yourself at home."

Lenalee took a seat on the edge of the bed, and folded her hands neatly in front of her. She smiled at Allen and said, "Thanks."

"For what?" Allen asked.

"For letting me stay here and offering me a nice room. Thank you."

"No problem." Allen smiled and nods his head. He walks over to the door and turns back to Lenalee. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Lenalee said as she lies herself on the bed. Allen then closes the door after he leaves the room.

Later, Allen walked through the hallway leading to a huge room. He gently opens the doors and stepped inside. He walks to the front and knelt down before his master who sat in a throne. He was a large man with a creepy grin on his face and large ears and wears a top hat, a large coat, and in one of his hands is an umbrella. His name was The Millennium Earl.

"Master, we have a visitor." Allen said.

"Really? That is unexpected. We never have a visitor in years."

"What should we do with her? We can't let any outsiders interrupt with our plan."

"Very well. Just let her stay here in the mansion for a few weeks or so. But if she ever comes close to finding out about our plans, finish her."

"What can I do to make her feel comfortable?"

"You could serve her dinner and let her stay in a comfortable bedroom. That will do."

"Very well, master. I'll make sure she doesn't know about our plans." Allen stood up, bowed down, turns around and heads to the doors.

"Oh yes, by the way, Allen," The Earl starts to ask, making Allen stop. "I forgot. What's the name of the guest?"

"She goes by the name of Lenalee Lee, master." This made the Earl widens his eyes alarmed. Allen then opens the doors and leaves the room.

"Lenalee Lee…" The Earl uttered.

Later, Lenalee came out of the room and looked around in the dining room. She saw no one else. It some kind of living room and dining room put together. There was a long table with only a few candles lighting it. There was a large amount of food on the table and there's only one chair on either side of the table. Then away from the dining spot, was the cozy looking spot with a fireplace and a few chairs by it. Lenalee could feel the warmth on her skin from the fire. She let a small smile appear on her lips as she grew closer to the fireplace.

"Cozy, isn't it?" Lenalee turned around and sees Allen standing behind her. Allen smiled warmly and said, "Dinner is ready. Do you want to sit down and eat?"

"Sure. I was getting hungry." Lenalee smiled back. They both walked over to the table and Lenalee sat down on one of the chairs.

"Where's your master?" Lenalee asked.

"My master can't be here. He's a busy man." Allen replied.

"Oh well, then…can you sit with me then?"

"What?" Allen widens his eyes.

"You can have dinner with me if you want." Lenalee smiled.

"Well…" Allen scratches the back of his head. "I don't know. My master may not like this. But since you are the guest, then…" He smiled at Lenalee. "Alright." He then sits down on the other chair.

"Don't mind because I need some company tonight." Lenalee then picked up her fork, and took a bite of a dumpling. She nods her head in approval and said as she tilts her head up. "It tastes good-" She slightly drops her jaw when she watched as Allen began completely pigging out on the food before him with his eyes bugging out. She was rather amused at the high speed at which he ate.

Allen was about to eat a steak until he looks up and notices Lenalee staring at him dumbfounded. He chuckled and said, "Sorry, they um…taste pretty good."

Lenalee giggled and thought, "he's really cute."

"All these food is painstakingly made by me."

"Really? Then you should be proud of yourself. You are an excellent cook since all of your food taste good."

"Thanks. So, how long will you stay here?"

Lenalee sighed. "Well, until I could find a way to contact my home or a local airport."

"Yes, and sorry we do not have any telephones here in the mansion. The master doesn't really like contacting the outside world." Allen wipes her mouth with his napkin.

"I guess I should go back to my room and sleep now." Lenalee said as she stood up from her chair.

"Yes, go get some sleep Lenalee. You'll need it." Allen frowned. To him, he knows that Lenalee may soon find out about his master's plan, and he doesn't want that to happen. If she does, he will have to kill her permanently. "Oh, and by the way Miss Lee, don't go to the East Wing, it's forbidden."

"Why is it forbid-" Lenalee got cut off.

"Because it's forbidden. That's it. Please, go to sleep." Allen stood up and walks out of the room.

Lenalee sighed and walks back to her room. She then climbs onto her bed and sleeps.

Lenalee groggily opens her eyes when she heard a crackle of static.

"Hello? Hello? Would you kindly answer the radio?" A voice said.

"Radio?" Lenalee said. She gets up from the bed and searched through her room several times. Until finally, she opens a drawer and found the radio where the voice was coming from.

"Hello? Would you kindly answer the radio?" The voice from the other side of the radio asked again.

Lenalee then picks it up and answers it. "Yes? Hello? Who is this?" She asked.

"Oh, thank goodness. I don't know how you survived that plane crash, but I've never been one to question Providence." The voice said in relief.

"Wait, how do you-" Lenalee got cut off.

"My name is Eliade. And I aim to keep you alive. You do not know what's going on in this mansion that you are in."

"What do you mea-"

"I'll explain later! Just leave your room you're in now!"
