Kanda P.O.V
"So are you going to tell me what happened?" I asked the small boy in front of me. He glared at me, his eyes hardening as they looked into mine.
"You will never find him. But I will give you this. 'Listen to the music box and you shall find a message. In that message is another part of the dream. It will lead you to the next one that is the savior of innocence. Tick toc tick toc time is running out. What will you do when the clock runs out?'
I watched as he crossed one leg over the other and clasped his hands together.
"Don't you have a riddle to solve?" He asked me his eyes growing wide, an act of innocence. He tilted his head to the right and watched through half-lidded eyes at me. I kept my face blank and stood. I gave him a photo and walked out of the interrogation room. I looked back at him as the door slowly shut. Ht held the photo with both hands. His body started shaking violently and he threw the photo the other side of the room. He picked up the chair next to him throwing it at the door I just stepped out of. It hit the door with a clang and forced the door to slam shut. I stood outside of the door and closed my eyes.
Who knew a boy so young was capable of such anger? Such a murderous aura? No time to think. I grabbed the paper I wrote the riddle he gave me down on and walked over to my desk. Now it was time to think.
I grabbed a photo from my desk. It was a copy of the one I gave the boy. A group of children sat together. Dirty from mud but still grinning up at the camera with innocence only children can carry. I placed the photo next to me and started going through the riddle. That boy in the room was the key to finding him. And even though I don't like it I need to play along with his game. I need to play into his sick and twisted fantasy it's the only way to save him.
"Adrian N. Edel." I whispered.
I read the riddle again: 'Listen to the music box and you shall find a message. In that message is another part of the dream. It will lead you to the next one that is the savior of innocence. Tick toc tick toc time is running out. What will you do when the clock runs out?'
After everything that's happened I only had one question to ask.
What happens if the clock runs out?
Allen P.O.V (everything from here on out is from 5 years ago just like in the last chapter not the stuff in Kanda's P.O.V though. It a bit confusing but it will make sense later! Back to reading. Yay!)
I doubled over as his fist slammed into my stomach.
I caught my breath and stood up just in time to see him coming at me again. He thrust his hand towards my head. I just barely turned my head as I saw the glint of his knife as it brushed past my cheek causing small rivets of blood to drip out.
I stumbled a bit before I got my balance back. It was time to stop dodging. I needed to attack before we caught anyone's attention.
He came at me again, but this time I was prepared. I leaned backwards, out of the way of his knife. I crouched down on all fours and swung my leg out from underneath me. I kicked at his ankles and the back of his knees, causing him to lose his balance. He stumbled backwards nearing the edge of the building.
I looked in to his eyes and saw the familiar blue green that I grew accustom to. I hated what I was going to do but I hate what he did to my family even more.
This wasn't about revenge.
No…it was about my father. I needed to save him. I needed to do something to help him…since the reason he's under his control is my fault.
I was brought back into the present as I felt something fall on my face. I looked up, while still keeping Alec in my sights, and saw the gray clouds turning into a pure black.
He was getting angry. I needed to finish this.
I turned back to Alec.
"Allen! Please listen to me! This isn't you! I can help you, and your father! But you need to trust me! Allen, please!" I drowned out his screams and focused on the sound of the rain.
Blood was seeping into Alec's eyes from the injuries I gave him earlier.
He stepped forward blindly. His hands found my shoulders and gripped them hard with his remaining strength. He opened his eyes and looked at me. I watched as more blood seeped into his eyes, staining the whites of his eyes and even changing the green color of his pupil into a dark russet color.
"We can get through this Allen. Together. We don't need to fight. Please! I don't want to kill you!" I laughed as his grip on my shoulders tightened.
"What makes you think you can kill me so easy? Is it because I'm small? Because I'm younger? Or is it the fact that I just seem so pathetic to someone like you? Someone with a seemingly perfect life?" I asked pulling his fingers from my shoulders. I let the darkness take over and claws erupted from my fingertips, my hand morphed into a silver claw. I dragged the claws gently down his chest, tearing his shirt in the process.
"Still think I'm weak?" I asked curling a claw under his chin and forcing him to look into my eyes.
"You know it's really a shame you met someone like me…" I said placing the same claw on the curve of his cheek.
I dragged the claw down his face drawing blood and letting it run down the silver. I opened my mouth and leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I'm sorry I've had to open you to the true cruelty of this world. But I just couldn't help myself. I couldn't let you sit there, letting life pass you by as you sit with your family oblivious to it all. With your perfect wife and child on the way…Not while people like me were getting tortured by the very people that you trust with your life. Your father…He's a piece of work. Going around experimenting on people like me like were nothing less than data for him to collect."
"It wasn't like that! He was a scientist! It was in his nature to want to discover new things and experiment." He said and with every word in that vile mans defense I felt my anger rise and boil. I clenched my teeth and felt a vein pop out of my head.
"So you approve of his experiments? Of his obsessive need to discover? That obsession got alma kill-"
"No stop it! That's not true!" He yelled cutting me off.
"And it nearly got me killed. You know what it did to Alma so stop using the car accident as an excuse and open your eyes!" I grinded my teeth together and calmed myself down. Anger wasn't going to get the job done.
"Maybe you deserved to die! You should have dies with Alma in the accident! You both were mentally unstable and I see it only grew worse as you got older. You should have let my dad help you. He could have cured you, Allen! Don't you see that?" I grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into the concrete.
"Don't ever talk bad about Alma! And you father was the one who gave Alma the mental problems! You don't even know what happened to us while we were with your father!" I gripped his throat tighter but let go before he suffocated.
"And you will never have the privilege to know. You have lost my trust the minute you tried to defend that bastard." I hissed.
I turned around as Alec coughed and gasped for air. I hear him stand and take a step towards me. I turned and caught the knife with my claw. I bent it and threw it on the ground.
"
Trying to kill me from behind? What a coward. Let's do a little one-on-one like we used to. I'll show you just how strong I've become. " I said grinning like a maniac and taking a general fighting stance.
Alec smirked and shrugged. 'Cocky bastard.' I thought to myself.
"I'll even close my eyes for you." I said letting my senses take over as I let my eye lids fall shut.
I listened. Running feet. To the right, now behind me. I ducked and felt the air rush past my face. I stood back up and laughed at his sad attempt at landing a hit on me.
"Open your eyes Allen!" He yelled. My eyes snapped open and I looked at him. Anger flashed across his eyes and I knew he was about to swing at me again.
He swung. I dodged. I raked my claws gown his back. He howled in pain. He grabbed my wrist and pulled my hand out of his back. He pulled my arm forward and kicked out my legs. I tumbled to the ground and raised to all fours my claw scraping across the ground.
"Click." I looked behind me to see a gun pressed in to my back. My eyes widened. He said h would only have the knife on him. Damn!
"So. You gonna kill me?" I asked looking at the sun starting to peek out of the trees.
"Maybe. But I want to see at least one more sunrise with you. Don't you think it's beautiful?" He asked me and I smiled, remembering how Alma used to force Alec and I to wake up early in the morning to see the sunrise.
At that moment, I felt…peace. Even with a gun pressed into my back. Even with the thought that I was going to die racing through my mind. I felt…calm.
"Remember when Alma used to force us out of bed? We would be ready to kill him for getting us up that early but would stare in awe when we saw the sky." I said smiling at the memory.
"Yeah. And Allen?"
"Yeah?" I asked looking over at him just in time to see a single tear roll down his bloodied cheek.
"Forgive me?" He asked smiling at the sunrise. I looked back at it wondering what he meant. Was he sorry about his father? About Alma? I wasn't sure but I knew one thing. I would probably die today, and for some reason that thought brought on immense relief and I waited for what I wished to happen for so long as a child. I awaited death to come and take me away. To wrap me up in its darkness and never let me go.
I let myself go. I awaited the pain. Then it came, that sound of the gunshot. The echoing sound that stopped the world from spinning. Stopped my lungs from breathing.
Stopped my heart from beating.
"BANG!"
Unknown P.O.V
"He has awoken sir." Derek said.
"Good. How is he?" I asked not really caring but more announcing my curiosity about the boy.
"He's stable. He has fully experienced the memory and now is resting. No major brain activity has been recorded since." Derek told me looking through his files.
"Did his body go in to shock?"
"No but his hand turned and the cloak came back, although its gone now. It only came back for a few seconds."
"Okay. You've done well for today. Take a break and let the rest of the scientists take care of the boy."
"Of course. Thank you sir." Derek said and bowed before leaving my office.
"So you've returned to me…14th …"
Well that's the end of the chapter it was a bit confusing I know but it's supposed to be that way. Hehe! Some things will be explained in the next chapter but not everything. Hah aim so evil…sorry but you know the story wouldn't be as exciting if I told you all the secrets right now! Any way please review and thanks so much for reading!
