POV Characters: Allen
Warnings: Spelling, Grammer, Swearing
Allen stared at the wall, ignoring the shadow's words. He was talking on and on relentlesly, always telling her to go to the Noah, her true family. Or course Allen just told him to just shut up, and he ,of course, went on talking.
Couldn't the shadowy gentleman realize that the 'fourteenth' was never going to be welcomed in their arms? That the 'fourteenth' killed most of the Noah thirty years ago except Road and the Earl? Didn't he see that the former Fourteenth wanted to be the Earl? Anyway, the Noah had caused too much pain to little Allen's frie- former friend's hearts. No way would she be part of their family.
Family.
The only famiy she had were Mana, Cross, Timcampy and the Order. Allen did have her happy memories within the Order, hey outnumbered the bad by a ton. But... the bad memories were all horrible, and terrible. Cruel missions to prove a point, having to help people with their horrid actions even though they were claimed to be in the name of God. Allen also had the threats pointed at her, like being married off to a supporting noble (loads of close calls) or having her Innocence seperated. Allen's face darkened at those remembered threats.
The Inspector could be so mean. Wait- he is mean.
It was after meeting him did things go downhil.
Allen's will to continue on in the war started to diminsh after the latest threat of being married off. She knew it was only a matter of time before they actually did marry her off to some noble, have her get pregnat in hope they were given a true "Destroyer of Time" from her child. She had over heard them in their discussion. Well... really from Komui, Bakk and Cross. Their screams and yells could be heard all the way to Allen's room about it. Cross had specifically said (more like roared) "To hell Allen will be the new fucked-up Mary! She'll murder the basatrd before he could even touch her- let alone get her laid!".
Mentally, Allen thanked, not for the first time) Cross for his loud voice and having a touchy 'fatherly' feelings towards her.
With a sigh, Allen got up from the floor and went to lay down on the white piano's bench. Allen covered her eyes with her left arm for the twentyith time that morning. Allen had managed to get into the Ark undetected and apparently the Ark must of been abandoned before she left had run away for one reason or another.
Allen frowned, thinking of her friends in the Black Order. Kanda was most likely cussing her out for running away so recklessly from her guards, Lavi would find some kind of humor in the Crow having of lost their charge so quickly into the mission but worry for her none the less. Lenalee, Kory and Miranda were probably worring and srticken that Allen ran away thinking it was their fault in one way or another. It was all Allen's fault that her friends were would be woried or hurt. Allen hated herself.
She betrayed them. They'll hate her.
The growl from Allen's stomache got her to groan as she sat up. Her shadowy gentleman was laughing at her, and Tim flew onto her head. Rolling her eyes, Allen left the Ark into a small british town alley. Luckily to her, the alley was next to a small bakery shop. Smiling brightly, Allen walked into the shop ready to buy breakfast.
Allen giggled as Tim started to gulf down his breakfast sandwhich just as they sat down outside the shop at a table. Allen had finsihed hers and was looking at the rushing morning crowd, eyes bright. Nothing majored had happened, but from the newspaper she read, "England declared war when the ambassador of a rivial country killed a chair member next to the minister durning a peace treaty.'
Something felt very wrong about this entire thing. This other country was desperate to get out of the war, supplies low, death toll was rising. Suspicious. Then again, the Human race was selfish at times and found it hard to let go of grudges.
"Allen~" Allen paused a second while reading the passage and glanced at the shop window where her relfections was with her shadowy gentleman. "Allen~" It said again. It was pointing a white gloved hand at her, its eyes amused," They see you~"
Startled, Allen looked around. Just a crowded street. Allen glared at the shadow, and hissed," Stop lieing! I'm in no mood for games!"
The shadow chuckled at her, and stared.
Stupid thing! He'll be the death of her if he kept this up. Allen went back to her newspaper, scanned quickly through the pages for anything intresting. After finding none, she threw it away and left the table with Tim resting in her pocket.
Not wanting to go back to the Ark, Allen explored the small town. It wasn't really small, nor that very large. It was a good decent sized town with a some popular hotels, a tiny casino (which she refused to go near), a nice park, plenty of houses, tons of shops, bakeries, and two decent libaries. It seemed like a town Allen would love to settle down it for a long time. But she couldn't. She has to keep walking foward, she couldn't afford to stay in a single place for long. Trouble will come.
Allen stopped by a rather nice music store and entered. Few customers were in, including some old men off in a corner arguing over the latest performers, a middle-aged couple looking at a violin, a rather bored cashier looking with mild intrest at the book in his hands. There was also a gentleman with a top hat and a cane hanging off his arm as he held something in his hands. Something felt oddly familiar about this man, like an old and a recent memory were clashing against one another to form a single new memory with a bit of both. Her silver eyes narrowed on the gentleman's back, she could of swore that the cane seemed to quiver by itself and looked slightly as if it was sweating from the droplets of water running down the finely done wood. Thinking it was her imangination and was going slightly insane from earlier, Allen focused on a piano booklet in the same section the strange man was in. Allen ignored the man and went to the section picking up the booklet, eagerly opening it.
Her silver eyes scanned the pages, grinning all the while. The music scores within had some intrest in Allen making her think that she could play these on the piano in the Ark.
"No~." Allen looked at a mirror within the music, cluttered shop. Her shadowy gentleman was glaring at the book in Allen's gloved hands. "Horrible music," he hissed darkly," Our tune is better, your lullaby is the only song worthy of being played. Not theirs, not humans. Ours~"
Allen just looked at the white coat shadow in the mirror. Couldn't she get peace? The shadow grinned at her with mischief. "Picky,picky," Allen muttered as she placed the booklet down, "You'll probably be the next thing I spoil."
"Join family~" the shadow sang, teasting her from her comment.
"When hell freezes over," Allen growled playfully back. Even though the white coated shadow was her marking of becoming a Noah, and might be the death of her, he was a warm comfort to her like Timcanpy. An addition to her family.
Just as Allen turned to leave the out the door, the shop shook as the sound of an explosion erupted the cool, calm air. Allen fell flat on her stomache, covering her head with her arms as the wall to her right exploded, the wood, metal and brick aiming at her. Screams and yells filled the air/
Allen immediantly got up and saw a two, red, menacing Crow. Shit. They found her!
Eyes wide, Allen sprinted off into the panicing streets to lose the Crow. But it was highly unlikely, the red-hooded Crow were close to her, sending binding spells at her all which Allen barely was able to dodge. Allen couldn't understand why they destroyed the music shop. They must have been trying to catch her off guard. If they were willing to destroy a building with innocent civilians inside, then they wouldn't hestitant in hurting Innocent bystanders to get to Allen. She had to find an area to summon the Ark safely.
Allen jumped onto a rooftop with the help of Crown Clown, and jumped the rooftops to help avoid human catastrophes. The Crow followed cloself behind, their red capes were flapping against the wind making them appear like large red birds. Allen wondered if they were the two Crow assigned to guard and guide her durning the mission she had ran away from. The mission that shattered her.
They looked like blurs, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Allen nearly lost balance once or twice, was nearly grabbed by one of the Crow by the ankle.
Allen was sent flying into a crowded area onto three men. One of Crow had sent a rather menacing, offensive spell at her that exploded the water tank she was just passing. The rushing water had sent her into the air with a cry of shock. After a very hurried apology to three men, Allen sprinted off into the crowd as the persuing Crowhad jumped after her sending a binding spell. Allen's breath was getting ragged the longer she ran. She won't be able to last any longer, and the Crow weren't exactly slowing down nor did they look at all weary.
The building on Allen's right then exploded. Allen cried out from the shock, and stopped her tumble with a few uneven steps to prevent it. Allen looked around and could just barely see the Crow through the dirt and dust. In front of Allen, she could barely see many level threes and, to her horror, a level four in the clearing dust. "Crown Clown, A-Activate!" But just as the Innocence started to formitself, the level four came flying out of the clearing smoke and slammed into her sending the petite female crashing roughly into a building.
Allen hissed from the pain as she forced her already tiring body up from the ground. Her legs were sore, her breathing was in pants and her back ached from the hard impact with the brick wall. Allen could barely glare at the level four as it grinned manically at her. "Why you little-" Allen growled.
"Allen~" Allen dared a glance at her shadowy gentleman, he was frowning darkly at the level four," Summon the Ark. Go home~."
Growling in agreement, Allen summonded the Ark and vanished. She was never more happy to be laying in the Fourteenth's hidden room, about to fall asleep.
Timcanpy was resting on her stomache, sound asleep.
Allen groaned as she opened her eyes. She was still a bit sore from the running and the hit from the Level Four. Getting groggily up, Allen walked over to where her clothes lay. The white button blouse was still wet in the neck and back area, her dark, tight pants were still rather moist, and her gloves still soaked. Allen wasn't exactly smart when she stripped herself from the wet outer clothing she wore when she got back into the Fourteenths room. The wet clothing had been piled, not stretched out. Yawning, Allen sat at the piano's bench, staring blankly at the keys.
"Play~" the shadow sang. He was grinning at her, looking eager.
Sighing out, Allen mummured, "You really are the next thing I spoil."
Allen stretched her fingers then placed them upon the black and white keys. Automatically her fingers started to press the keys for that tune when one key wouldn't give out the right tune. Growling in annoyance, Allen repeatly press the key, it kept repeating the aweful tune. Frustarted, Allen got up. With bare feet were walking across the cold, white floor to the piano's back and looked into it. Allen's silver eyes widened as she looked at the strings.
Inside was a white letter.
Gingerly, Allen reached out to it. Grabbing it, she slowly lifted it to her face. It wasn't a letter, it was more of a note on fancy paper folded neatly. Opening the folds with hesitation, were words. Just two.
'I'm Sorry.'
Allen was startled. 'Sorry,' Allen wondered thoughtfully.
Looking sharply over at her white shadly gentleman, Allen hissed, "Okay. Spit it out! Whose bloody note is this?"
The Shadow smiled sadly at her, "Your Uncle's~"
Startled, Allen looked at the white coated Shadow in startlement. Uncle? The only uncle she had was Neah, meaning...
"What was Neah sorry for?" Allen asked softly to the shadow.
The Shadow grinned at her, as though (most likely) hiding a deadly secret from her, "Not yet. Not my place to tell you~ Go to family. They'll tell you~"
"You know," Allen muttered, "I think I'll go for a walk."
"I'm going insane, I'm going Insane," Allen muttered.
Currently, Allen was laying in a park, underneath a nice shady tree.. "'I'm Sorry.' Why would the previous fourteenth be sorry for? And leave a damn note in the piano?"
Timacnpy was rolling around once again in the green grass playfully. Then sharply sitting up, Allen exclaimed," I forgot the flowers in the park, Tim!" Slumping back onto the grass covered ground, Allen moped. "Why? Why? I spent thirty pounds on those flowers!"
"Hey Miss."
Allen looked over and saw a little boy. Getting on her elbows, Allen got a better look of the boy. He was small, around nine years old with dark blonde hair and large blue eyes. "Can I help you," Allen asked sweetly.
"Are you an Angel?" The child demanded eagerly.
"Eh?" That was uncalled for. Allen didn't expect such a sudden question like that. "What makes you think that, sweety?"
"Because, you have white hair! You're all white and glowy and beautiful and pretty. Like a princess or queen. Except you are more pretty, so you're an angel, right?" The boy smiled eagerly down at her.
"Haha~," Allen laughed," I'm no Angel. I'm look you. Human."
The boy shook his head fastly. "You're too pretty to be human. you're an Angel!"
The two looked over at a calling couple. They obviously were his parents. "Bye Miss Angel Lady." The boy ran off after his parents.
"That was the weirdest minute of my life." Allen said brightly down at the rolling Timcampy.
Heck Yeah! CHapter 2 done! YUS! review please. It tells me people actually read this. Suggestions are great. I kinda have a very extremely loose plot at the moment.
