Chapter 3

'Allen Walker… I can't believe I almost killed him…' I thought as I walked down the hall ways to my room. It's been 20 minutes since we've declared that we were friends. It was quiet embarrassing for me. To befriend a guy that I almost tried to kill after my brother explained the whole situation. However, there was something off about him. When we were fighting, I noticed that he only used his ability a couple times and was able to beat me. I'm supposed to be one of the top five fighters in the Black Order with two different spectres. How did he beat me?

I was so busy thinking about what was different about Allen that I didn't noticed that I had stumbled into the wrong room. What made it even harder was that every room in the Black Order HQ was the same shape, color, as well as same accessories. Then I walked over to the dresser and opened it to get my stuff, but I saw something that stopped my thoughts and made me turn bright red. Oh no, don't tell me that this room belongs to a boy…

"L..Lenalee?" I knew that voice. I slowly turned around and saw Allen had just come out of the showers. I saw his face go bright red as he only had a towel to cover his privates. I looked up and down his body to see that he actually had a very nice body build. His skins was a bit too pale than a normal human being, but he seemed to have nice biceps and a 6 pac on his abs, and his face is... Wait, I'm not supposed to be looking! I quickly looked down at the ground and got up as quickly as I could.

"I… I entered the… Allen lock your door!" I yelled at him and exited through the door. Actually, it was more like bolted out the door and almost tripped on myself. How could I embarrass myself like that in-front of Allen! I'm probably the one that's supposed to set an example for him about how great this place actually is. Not try and humiliate myself and make him think that I'm an idiot. I then looked at my watch to see that it was 5:30, and I had 15 more minutes to pack and get ready. Oh shoot, I better hurry.

xXx

"Lenalee, what took you so long?" Lavi asked as he was waving at me to hurry up. I lifted my suitcase off the ground and ran all the way to the canal in which the boat was ready to depart. The Black Order liked to send out the Participants secretively so no informant on the enemy's side could pinpoint which route the Participant was taking, giving a safer journey to their rendezvous point, in which they would meet their own informant could fill the Participants with their job.

"So this is how I was brought here?" Allen asked. I personally think that it was a miracle that he was alive. What brother told him was his injuries were just to make it easier on his shoulders. In fact, he survived multiple cuts across his chest, different stab marks on the legs, and bullets all around his arms. Whoever Allen was fighting either was very violent, or wanted him dead for good. However, to try and keep the most likely bloody memory locked away, it was smart of brother to keep the information given to a minimum.

The mood was tense between Allen and me. It was very strong, and I didn't know what to do. I was guessing that Lavi could also feel the awkward tense because it was like a dense fog in the air. He got up from his opposite side, and then he sat between Allen and m putting his arms around our shoulders.

"Man, I don't think that we got to know each other enough! I think we have a couple hours to spare until we get to the rendezvous point! How about we try and get to know each other more huh?" Lavi asked with a wide grin on his head. Thank you Lavi, a decent pass-time I guess. Then Lavi said," I'll go first! My name is Lavi! I work as a bookman, and a participant at the same time! I'm now 5'9" and I think my looks are one of a kind! My favorite food is steak, and I love… decently built… women…" Then Lavi just went into his own little world, as he started to imagine women that were much older than him with large… parts, I should say. Lavi was a great guy, but his non-serious attitude and his genuine perverted ways, he could be very… interesting sometimes…

"Anyways, Allen why don't you introduce yourself? Lenalee and I don't know much about you!" Lavi said. Allen rubbed the back of his head, wondering if he should tell them or not. He scratched his different left arm with his regular right hand.

"If you want to know more about me, might as well tell you guys the simple background for now. I was an orphan ever since I could remember. I have no information about my former parents and had a foster father by the name of Mana. If you didn't know that he wasn't my real father, he definitely acted like one. He was the kindest… Is that gunpowder I smell?" Allen asked. Then a large volley of shots came shooting through the boat's side. The driver of the boat was shot multiple times through the stomach and cranium, giving him a quick death. I quickly activated my Dark Books spectre and shot up into the tunnel roof. Allen had just in time pulled up a rock wall to protect both Lavi and himself.

"You know, being attacked when I'm about to learn about my new friend's past is very rude…" Lavi said. I could sense that Lavi was going to summon one of his spectres, most likely his weakest one. Soon enough, two horns started to form out of Lavi's head. His eyes started to chance shape as his iris started to slowly change from green to yellow. Soon enough, his eyes started to look like that of a cat, and had the stares that could kill. His finger nails started to grow out, and the tops got sharper. His hands' skin was started to change form into scales of the color black. This was one of his three spectres, Zues's Curse. He is number 6 on the top ten.

"Now, let's see where you're all hiding!" Lavi yelled. He stretched his arms into the air, and then a large lightning bolt shot up into the roof. The lighting wasn't strong enough to penetrate the thick stone roof, however it ran along it, as it created light to all the areas around us. I could see that it was most likely a three v.s twenty. From the way that they had ambushed us with guns, they weren't participants, this would be easy. I quickly shot down to one, and kick him across the face, twisting his neck and breaking it. Then soon enough, a giant slab of ice shot right in-front of my face, missing by an inch.

"What cat like reflexes, I like you already!" I shot my head towards the source of the voice, and most likely, the person who shot that ice at me. When I looked to my left, I saw a man around his mid 20s with a gun in his right hand, but his left hand was frozen. He had a large scar down his left eye. He wore a large white t-shirt that revealed a tattoo on his right shoulder of a black crown with devil horns.

'The Queen's Devils! This man must be the one leading the attack. He can't be that hard to take care of,' I thought. I quickly shot down at him with my spectre, but he blocked my kick with an ice broad sword that he had somehow created. He smirked at my attack, countering it with a shot from his colt on his right hand. I dodged the bullet, except the man sliced at my shoulders when I was at my weak state. Before the sword impaled my side, a rock wall came up from the ground to block the attack, keeping me safe. I looked to my right to see Allen walking slowly over to the scene of the battle, but his face looked very different. It held no emotion at all, and now, it held a red tattoo on his left eye that shimmered.

"No… It can't be… You were reported dead with that other unforgiving bastard!" the man yelled pointing his gun at Allen. Allen quickly responded with a quickly signal from his hands, and a rock spike shot up from the ground impaling the man's right arm. The cry of pain was loud and clear, and the man dropped his gun. He had the mixture of pure anger and fear of Allen. The man pulled his arm off the spike, and then froze it, guessing to stop the pain.

"You know it's not polite to speak ill of the dead? They always find a way to get you back," Allen said. He put out his hands, and then, a giant rock broad sword popped out of the ground, and into Allen's hands. "Time for the execution to begin…" Allen said in a monotone voice, as he charged at the man. The man created an ice sword of his own, and defended against Allen's downward swing.

"Just like back then, huh Allen?" the man asked with a smirk on his face. Allen knew this guy somehow? I tried to get up and help, but my legs were iced onto the ground. Damn, he must've gotten me when I was down, but how did he do it so fast? I turned my attention back to the battle.

"Shut it Ron, you know I let you live," Allen said. Ron replied by spinning around 360 and going for a side slice at Allen's stomach. Allen put up another rock wall to stop the attack then swung down with his sword. The man by the name of Ron summoned an ice spike that shot from the ground as well, and made Allen stop his attack to dodge it.

"You live up to your reputation, Allen Walker of the Blood Mark," Ron said as he spit on the ground. I looked over at Allen to see that the mark on his head was now bleeding slowly. What was he? I just had no clue. Allen slowly got up, and wiped the blood from his face.

"This is tiring. Ron I'll end it with the next move. May your soul find peace in oblivion," Allen said. Ron started to laugh hysterically.

"You finish me off? Allen Walker, you sure to know how to crack a joke at an inappropriate…" Before he could finish the sentence, at-least six different spikes penetrated his midsection, and two at his legs. Ron just froze, with a face of shock at what had just occurred. Ron started to cough out blood, and the wounds oozed out even more.

"*Cough* Heh… Looks like Brother's going to have a tough nut to crack… Allen Walker of the Blood Mark… *Cough* I'll see you in hell," then Ron's head dropped along with it a total silence in the dark bloody tunnel. Allen walked over to the body slowly, and looked down at it like it was an ant, something of less importance. Then with quick actions with his hands, a giant wave of earth shot out, and dragged the body down. Then once the stone settled, a crossed started to be created, and soon enough, it was a tomb.

"May your soul find salvation in the dark lights that you are to walk along," Allen whispered as he patted the ground. He then got up, walked over to me, and with his spectre, broke the ice that bounded my legs. I kept on looking at him, wondering how he was so strong. How he managed to kill Ron. How he had the will to kill without any mercy. How many lives he must've taken before this incident. Allen avoided any eye contact, and slowly got up.

"I think it's time to move. We don't want to be late do we?" Allen asked, as he walked over to the boat, how being fixed by Lavi. I slowly got up, and looked at the way that he walked. Then I wondered, how much burden is on his shoulders?

xXx

"Gyah, we're finally here!" Lavi yelled, as we finally exited the tunnel, and had reached London, the warm, and booming city of England. The rest of the boat right before we reached here was pure silence, and hell. However, within this city, my heart lightened up by watching all the people smiling and enjoying their time. I looked over to Lavi and Allen, and they seemed to be doing well, looking at the stores and such. We eventually came up to the motel that we were supposed to meet up with our informant for our mission.

"He doesn't seem to be here right now! So how about we relax, lighten up, and enjoy the view?" Lavi asked. I nodded my head lightly, while Allen gave a slight nod at the suggestion. "Ok, get changed, and we'll meet up at the door of the motel by 2:00!" Lavi said again, and the boys and I separated into our own rooms. I quickly changed into a pink t-shirt, along with a jean. I put on sandals, took my purse, and headed out the door. Once I reached the door, I saw that Lavi was also wearing a black t-shirt with jeans, while Allen was wearing a white long sleeve shirt with brown baggy shorts. I hoped that this little break would lighten the mood of our group.

"Ok, let's see, the first thing that I have planned for us is that we're… Going to go eat lunch!" Lavi said, as he read off of a sheet right before he had left the room. Allen's eyes lit up brightly, as he took out his wallet. When I took a peak, I saw at-least 300 pounds ($500) in his wallet. How much was Allen going to eat? Actually, I guess a lot, from the past experiences at lunch and dinner.

We eventually made it to a near-by restaurant and it was a cheap sandwich shop. I ordered a simple ham and cheese sandwich, Lavi a ham, bacon and cheese sandwich, while Allen ordered 50 ham, bacon, beef, and pulled pork sandwich, which took all of his money to buy. I looked as Allen quickly shoved his food in his mouth, and I found it kinda cute. I gave a slight chuckle. Wait, I'm not supposed to find Allen cute! He's like a younger brother to me. I'm supposed to be a person to guide him. Then of course Allen just had to know why I was giggling.

"Something on my face?" Allen asked with a grin. Well yes, food was all over his face, but he couldn't know the true reason why I was giggling. After all, we were on a mission, and to say that he was cute would just be point blank random and weird. It was safer just to keep to myself.

"Yes Allen, all over your face," I said with a small smile. Allen blushed slightly, and he quickly took 8 tissues and wiped down his face. Then he started to shove the rest of the 28 sandwiches down his mouth. Lavi then tapped my shoulders, and when I turned he was looking outside. There was a crowd around a headlight, but what I saw almost made me puke. If it wasn't me, it would be someone else. Allen quickly ran all the way over to the trash can, and threw up the 46 sandwiches that he had shoved down his throat. Slowly he got up from the position, and after taking multiple deep breathes, he quickly walked out over to the crowd.

"What the hell… WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!" Allen yelled and fell to his knees. On the headlights was a body hanging by the head. However, it could be seen that his stomach was gutted, and not stitched up. He had multiple burnt marks on his arms and legs, along with many bruises. Flies could be seen scouring his body. His legs were tied up together, as two knives were stuck at the shoulders. He was a full blown out corpse. On his chest, with his own blood, was the same sign that I saw when we fought Ron. The Queen's Devils. Lavi slowly got up from his seats, and walked out the doors of the restaurant, and walked up beside Allen.

"Looks like they found our informant," Lavi said. Allen was still on his knees. Lavi didn't say anything either. It was a brutal sight, and it could possibly hurt someone mentally. Lavi put a hand on Allen's shoulders, and that's when he started to get up slowly. I walked over, and I felt a chill down my spine. It was almost the same sensation that I had felt when Allen fought against Ron at the tunnels. Allen then mumbled something that I couldn't catch out. I walked towards him, but only heard one word, repeat out of his mouth. Redemption. This break didn't turn out so pretty, as I might've hoped for.

xXx
