Chapter 3: The news
"But why?" Lenalee questioned, noticing the serious tone in her brother's voice. She and Allen both heard a sigh from the other side. Their eyes widened and Lenalee almost dropped the phone when they heard the answer Komui gave.
"The Earl of Millennium is back."
"How can he be back?!!" Allen demanded, "I defeated him by my own hands."
"We're not sure too," Komui replied as he sighed, "Either way, you two should come back as soon as you can, and bring Floria and Rey with along."
"Okay!" Both of them said in unison, they knew that an Akuma could come anytime and then kill their children.
"Okay then, see you two soon." Komui said before hanging up. Both Allen and Lenalee went back to the couch to discuss about how their going back to the Order.
"Can you use the Ark?" Lenalee asked.
"No, before we left, I canceled the function that allows me to open the gate anytime and anywhere I want," Allen replied, "And I also closed down all the gates, the only gate left open is the one in the Black Order."
"I see, so that means the only way is by train." Lenalee said.
"Yeah," Allen agreed.
"Come on, we have to tell the kids," Lenalee said, standing up, "You tell Rey while I tell Floria." Allen agreed, standing up, following Lenalee up the stairs and then going to their children's individual rooms.
Floria was sitting on her bed, many thoughts flowing through her at the same time, what were those creatures? How did her parents fight the monster? How did her father's arm transforned? How did her mother's bracelets around her legs change into high heels?
So many questions flowing in her head, she was only awoken from her trance when she heard a knock on her door. "Come in." the fifteen-year-old said. The figure of her mother appeared and walked towards Floria. She sat down next to the teenage girl; Floria turned to her and asked, "What were those things? How'd you and Dad fight them?"
The older woman just smiled back before saying, "So you saw… We'll explain everything to you and your brother soon. But now pack your things, we're moving." Floria stared at her mother, shocked. She managed to mutter, "What?" before becoming silent. Lenalee continued smiling, "We're moving, tomorrow afternoon. We'll be going to London to stay. There we'll explain everything to you. Don't worry, you can say goodbye to your friends, but we'll come back." She said sweetly.
Floria just nodded in response, Lenalee then said, "Now go to sleep, you need to wake up early tomorrow to pack. Just pack a few sets of clothes and things that are valuable to you, okay?" Floria nodded once more before lying down on her bed, her mother covering her with a blanket. Lenalee walked out of the room and just before she left the room, she said, "Goodnight, Floria." But the girl was already asleep.
She made her way towards her room to find Allen exiting the shower. He smiled at her, "So how did it go with Floria?" "Fine, but we have to tell them everything once we reach the Black Order Headquarters," Lenalee replied, "Why did he come back?" "I don't know, Lenalee, I don't know." Allen muttered. Allen rolled up his right sleeve, revealing a large gash, and took out a roll of bandages.
Lenalee saw his arm before walking up to him and taking the roll of bandages from Allen, "Let me help," Allen looked at her and smiled as she treated his wound, "Thank you." Lenalee's lips curled into and smile when she heard him.
Next morning, Floria woke up as the sun was shining through the window onto her eyes. She got up groggily, dressed out of her night gown into something decent and made her way down the stairs to the dining room for something to eat. She saw her fourteen-year-old brother and her father having their breakfast and she sat down on an empty chair. Lenalee walked in the next moment, carrying two plates with a stack of pancakes on each of them.
"Morning, Floria!" Lenalee greeted, as she placed the plate of pancakes in front of her daughter, Floria just yawned in response.
"Okay! I'm gonna start packing now!" Rey declared as he made his way to his room. "Remember, only a few sets of clothes, your necessities and anything that is valuable to you." Allen shouted. Packing!!! Floria just remembered she also needed to pack and started to wolf down on her pancakes.
Rey quickly ran into his room, his suitcase and bag was on his bed, he looked around his room and begun taking out clothes he wanted to bring, his toothbrush, his pair of gloves and a photo of him and their family. He begun to neatly fold his clothes and stuff them into the suitcase, along with his other necessities and belongings. The entire process took about an hour and a half; he lied down on his bed. After a few moments, he went into the shower to get rid of the grime on his body.
"Oh no, where is it?" Floria asked herself, throwing her stuff out of the way to try to find her necklace, which she had completely forgotten was it her bedside drawer due to her parents battle last night. She had gone to pack her belongings as soon as she emptied her plate. Suddenly something inside Floria reminded her where she had kept her treasure. Floria frantically went up to her drawer and opened it, sighing in relief as she saw the necklace inside. She took the necklace out and proceeded to put it around her neck, and shivered a little when the cold metal touched her skin.
Floria glanced at her room; it looked as if a tornado struck it. She sighed again and then started to clean her very messy room up, leaving the things she wanted to pack on her bed after folding it.
Allen and Lenalee were in their room packing, they looked through their belongings. They finished packing not long after and checked to make sure what they wanted was with them. Allen checked to make sure he had his wedding ring on and his poker cards with him. Lenalee check for her wedding ring and a pair of amethyst and emerald embedded earrings on her, which Allen gave her on her twentieth birthday.
Allen then changed into his white, collared shirt, along with his usual red bowtie and black long pants. Lenalee also started changing into a plain, black dress. Once they were done, the couple walked out, carrying their suitcases and waited in the living room. Rey walked out first, wearing a navy-blue shirt and dark brown pants and carried his suitcase down the stairs. Floria appeared last, wearing a violet dress and a light brown skirt, her necklace dangling from her neck.
"Everyone have everything?" Allen asked. The three others nodded in unison and they left. Everyone looked back at their home one last time before entering the town of Liverpool.
"Rey! Floria!" the family of four stopped and turned to the general direction of the voice, they saw a group run towards them. Rey and Floria dashed towards the group, they stopped in front of the group, "Where're you going?" one of them asked.
Rey's response was, "London."
"Why?" another asked.
"Don't know," Rey said as he shrugged.
The group continued to chat while Allen and Lenalee stood back and watched. Suddenly, several screams were heard and Allen's eye activated. Looking up into the sky, he saw a hoard of Akumas clouding the sky.
Hoped you enjoyed it.
