I don't own D. Grayman and never will.
Allen walked through the streets of Venice with Rhode. Rhode had wanted to spend time with her sister and Allen complied. Rhode was carrying a bag of newly bought candy and she and Allen were both currently sucking on suckers.
"So, anyways, Allen-chan," Rhode chattered amiably, "Our new brother Skin is such a sweet tooth ever since I gave that candy so now I have to get him candy. And, since I want candy too, it means I have to buy almost double my usual amount! And that is why you need to help me pay at the next store." Rhode finalized her statement with a nod and Allen giggled at her antics.
"Rhode-chan," Allen whined, "You do know that I'm not rich, right? I mean you're a Camelot; you can afford to indulge and spend money. Me? I can barely afford a few chocolate bars for myself now and then. Do you really expect me to be able to help you pay for your and Skin's sweet tooth?"
"Allen, first of all, I'm tired of saying chan so you and I are just Allen and Rhode. Second of all, you could just join our family." Rhode was solemn for a moment before grinning and saying, "I'm kidding. I know that it's not that easy for you to choose, though I do hope you choose Earl-sama's side."
Allen gave Rhode a sad smile and they kept walking. "So," Allen chirped out after a moment, "Has the 14th been reborn?" Both girls knew that her real question was, 'Does the Earl think that my father, the first 14th Noah, will be reborn?'
Rhode looked at Allen for a second before saying, "Millenie thinks that if Neah was ever reborn it would be in someone that was related to him, but since Neah has no living relations," she rolled her eyes a bit, "He might never be reborn."
"So, I might have two Noah in me," Allen looked at her feet, "Well, at least now both sides have an equal claim on me. The Order would say that the Heart is worth at least twice as much as a Noah. The Earl still doesn't know about me, right?"
Rhode gave a guilty smile, "I haven't told him about, and that's killing me, by the way, so the only way he knows is if you transformed into your Inner Noah." Allen had never turned into the 15th because it would alert the Earl to her presence. She had met with the 15th, and trained with her powers, inside of her mind only. "When the Earl finds out about you and that I didn't tell him about you," Rhode shivered, "I can't imagine how mad he'll be!" She turned to Allen and pouted, "Can't you show yourself to him? He'll find out anyways, sooner or later."
Allen looked at Rhode with a sad look on her face, "No, Rhode. He'll try to influence me by trying to get the Order against me and getting my Noah to come out. I know that he's your," Rhode shot Allen a look, "Okay, our family, but I need to make my choice without being overly influenced."
Rhode gave a glum nod, "Fine. I need to go finish buying candy and get back before my family misses me. Bye, Allen." Rhode created a doorway and left with a wave.
Allen walked to a lake in the middle of a forest and lay down. She entered her mind and wandered around until she found Ellen, her inner Noah. "Ellen, does the spirit of the 14th lie within me?"
Ellen gave Allen a sheepish grin, "Well, I guess the answer is, yes? I would have told you, but he's never actually awake, so I didn't know if you could really do anything with him."
Allen sighed at her Noah and left her mind. She awoke to find that 4 akuma were in the vicinity (1). She quickly got up and left, she didn't want to be found by them or any exorcists that might be battling or following them.
Allen is born with an ability to sense akuma, but has no scar. Her hair, however, is white.
