Chapter 3
Hello guys, sorry for the late update. This is the next chapter, I hope you'll enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I don't own DGM or it's characters, only my OC.
When there are Italics Violet speaks with her Innocence.
Violet's POV
'Ugh, obviously, I get knocked out pretty easily.' "Yep, or at least from what I've seen" "Oh, you can hear my thoughts now?" I asked rhetorically. "I've always been able to" "Anyways, you have some explaining to do. First, how the heck did I get here?" "You got here because of me and your other Innocence. I'm the one that created the gap between the worlds, and you were able to go through it because of your other Innocence. This isn't its only ability, but you'll find out later. It's placed in your lotus blossom tattoo. That's all you need to know for now." was the answer. "Wait! Can't you tell me more?" "No, I'm not the one to answer your questions." "Then who?" "Just wake up already." Said my Innocence and didn't utter another word.
Violet's POV
"What's wrong?"
"I just thought someone was watching us." Oh, I loved the next part. It had always made me laugh, so I decided to keep my eyes closed.
"Maybe it was a panda."
"Allen, do you think that there are pandas all around the place in China?"
"Eh?"
"There aren't, you know."
"Ack, there's one right there!" I could imagine Lavi pointing at Bookman. God, this was fun.
"Oh, man" sighted Lenalee.
"That one is getting old" said Krory.
"Not funny at all" replied Bookman with his monotone voice. This is when I started giggling. It was too funny to ignore.
"Hey, you are finally awake!" said Lavi. "Yeah, pretty much." was my reply. I stretched and asked "Where are we?" "In China" was the short reply. "So, who are you?" asked Allen. "My name is Violet Parks, nice to meet you…?" I pretended I didn't know his name. I had to keep my cover. "Allen, Allen Walker. These are Lenalee Lee, Arystar Krory, Bookman and Lavi" I looked at them. Allen and Lenalee wore kind smiles, Krory looked a little nervous around the new presence, not that I blame him, Bookman was examining me and last but not least, I glanced at Lavi. He had a pink heart instead of his emerald green eye, and wore that smile that made me laugh back home, especially when he screamed 'STRIKE!' in his mind. Right now, it creeped me out. I liked his character and usual happy-go-lucky personality but if he liked me, I wanted to like me because of me.
I tore my eyes off him and my hair went straight into them from the sudden movement.
"Hey Lenalee, can you give me a hairband?" "Uh? Yeah, sure." She answered as she took one out of her pocket. "Thank you!"
I pulled my hair up and looked at the others. "How old are you?" Allen asked me. "Seventeen." Where are you from?" he continued "Britain." "Hey, just like me!" I could only smile at him. "So, are you an exorcist?" I heard Lenalee ask. "Yeah, apparently. " "What do you know about Innocence?" "It's also called the God's crystal, and it's the only substance that can destroy akuma and free their soul. There are 109 pieces of Innocence, and only accommodators can synchronize with Innocence and use them as weapons. There are 2 types of Innocence- Equipment and Parasite. The Parasite types are quite rare, but from what I saw, Allen and Krory have Parasite Innocence."
Everyone just stared. I think they didn't expect me to know much, probably because I still haven't joined the Order.
We stopped sailing, but sometimes I caught Bookman watching me. We started walking towards the city where we should find Cross.
We walked on a big street. There were shops everywhere. Bookman and Krory just started drinking tea.
"Why are you sitting around drinking tea? Marshall Cross is still-"Lavi told them, but was interrupted by Bookman "Haste makes waste, as the saying goes. Our destination is a mere stone's throw away. Deciding on a plan of action is the most important thing at the moment". "You're just being lazy!" snapped Lavi. "Well, nothing is wrong with that. There's really no hurry." 'Oh, how wrong are they right now…' "Allen, you don't really want to find the Marshall, do you?" Lavi and I said together. "Eh?" said Allen and looked away.
"Well, we're here and all, so let's take a look around the city." said Lenalee with a smile.
"What a busy city!" Exclaimed Allen as we walked. "Guangzhou's the center of trade for the whole province of Canton. It's near the ocean too, so people and goods from around the world come into the city." explained Lavi as we walked. "Very good, Mr. Future Bookman. You're knowledgeable indeed, Lavi." Lenalee praised him. "You must know a lot about China too, Lenalee. It must be nice being back at you homeland" said Allen. "Yeah, sort of." "Sort of?" "Well, I don't remember much of the time before I came to the Order. All I really remember about my family back then is my brother. So you see, though we're in China…" she smiled and continued "Everything around me is new and unfamiliar."
She picked a umbrella and said "Don't you think this is cute?" I just nodded, while she told us that now she doesn't think China is her homeland and though it might seem strange, now the Order was her only home. Her friends were her family. When I think about it, I wanted to be part of this family too.
"Being with you guys makes me happier than anything else." She told us as tears ran down her cheeks. I just hugged her and Allen said "That's not strange at all!" Lavi agreed "That's right! You're just like us! Friends to the end." "Lavi…Allen… Violet…" The redheaded teen continued "That's why we all agreed to go on this wild goose chase for Marshall Cross. Right, Allen?" "Yeah. Despite my personal dislike for my master, he's vital to the Order." "We can't afford to lose a single fighter, no matter how much of an ass he is." Lenalee nodded. "Well then, it's about time to go back. If we stick around here for too long, that cantankerous old coot might make us out to be the lazy ones." I just laughed as I heard this come out from Lavi's mouth.
"That's true. Let's go, Lenalee." said Allen. "Yeah. I'll take this one please." Said the girl as she closed the umbrella.
Right then a big, fat cat jumped and caught Timcanpy. The golden golem was in the cat's mouth and his golden wings were out. The cat started running away as Lavi yelled "Oh, crap! Without him, we'll use Marshall Cross' trail just as he is within our grasp!"
We started running until we reached a white bridge. Lenalee activated her Innocence and jumped into the air. Allen's eye activated, signaling that there were six akuma nearby. As he activated his arm, I pulled Lavi towards me by his sleeve. "What are you doing?" he exclaimed. "You don't want to die from a cannon, do you?" "Huh?" then he saw Allen shoot right where he was a moment ago. Before Lavi could use his hammer, I activated my spear right when an akuma got out from the water. I pierced it and jumped on the bridge to avoid the explosion.
"I can't take it anymore! You're a freak! You're even scarier than the demons!" yelled Lavi at Allen. "Why is that, Lavi?" "You can't just come in shooting, damn it!" "I had to! These demons would have taken us down!" "Then you don't care what happens to me! You-" "Lavi, calm down! Lenalee is coming with the cat!" I interrupted the redhead. "Huh? How do you know?" Instead of answering, I just pointed the sky. Indeed, the girl was falling from the sky. I took a couple of steps back. I didn't want to be thrown away from the impact Lenalee made with the stone.
"I'm back!" said Lenalee. The poor cat was on her shoulder, trembling. I don't blame it. It must be scary to be with the girl when she used her Innocence like that.
"Hm? What are you three doing?" asked Lenalee while the boys looked at her. "There were some demons, nothing to worry about" I answered for them. "At any rate, you managed to find the cat" said Allen as he pointed at the trembling creature. "Yeah, he hadn't even swallowed yet" was the response.
The cat spat out the golem and ran away. "You get eaten too much, Timcanpy" said Allen as the golden golem landed on his head. "Just out of curiosity, how many times had Tim almost been eaten?" I asked the white-haired boy. "Lets just say I've already lost count"
After that, Bookman appeared out of nowhere and landed on Lavi's neck. "Having a nice walk, are we?" "Don't just appear like that! You surprised me!" said the redhead. "It is most surprising that there are demons here" added Krory. "Could they have been the presence you felt as we were going down the river, Allen?" asked Lenalee. "Yeah, I guess it wasn't a panda after all." 'Does he like pandas?' I asked myself. "And they have been following us…" said Lavi. "Or perhaps Marshall Cross" added Bookman. "We must make haste" "I told you this was no time for tea party!" snapped Lavi. "Come on, we have to go. We just lose time here." I said.
It was already night when we reached the town Cross was supposed to be. I went with Allen, since I knew he would find about Anita and my sense of direction was even worse than Allen's. We stopped to eat a little and as the white haired boy ate his usual amount of food, the cook told us he met Cross as he gave us a thump-up. "I'll tell you where he is if you buy another fifty or so of those bao" he said. This wasn't a problem with Allen's appetite and we soon earned Anita's location.
"So, the owner's new boyfriend may be Marshall Cross?" asked Lenalee. "Yeah… It seems like something my master would do." "Oh man, that's intimidating" said Lavi. 'Oh, wait till you see Mahoja. She is a woman, no matter how muscular she is.' I though evilly and smiled. I glanced over them and they seemed relieved, thinking they found Cross. '3, 2, 1…'
"Wait right here!" 'Right on time, Mahoja.' "We don't serve kids or first-timers. Get outta here!" "H-he's huge!" "Hey, wait, he's got breasts!" 'Lavi, for a Bookman, sometimes you can be pretty stupid' I though. The boys apologized, but Mahoja's eyes glowed and she picked them up by their uniforms. They looked like two packs of potatoes. She calmed them as she assured that she and Anita are supporters of the Black Order.
We went inside from a back door and met Anita. She truly was beautiful. Stands of black and shiny hair framed her face. It was very delicate and pale. She wore make-up, blue eyeshadow and her lips shined a little.
Everyone's jaws dropped. Even Lenalee's. Lavi's first reaction, of course, was to yell "STRIKE!" I stared at Bookman as long as he kept his shocked expression. I chuckled mentally. 'It's really funny to see him like this'
"Yeah, I agree with you" said a voice I couldn't recognize. It was soft and somewhat calm, like the one who spoke was in peace. I wondered who might it be. "You forgot you have two pieces of Innocence, didn't you?" answered my spear-like Innocence to my unasked question. "Oh…right" sometimes I can be really dumb. "So, now I can speak to both of you?" "Yes, and because we'll not meet a general in a while, we will train you how to use us and we'll show you our powers. When you're strong enough, we'll teach you how to open portals to other worlds and go through them." Answered my lotus blossom Innocence. "Cool! When do we start?" "You'll have to wait a little bit. We'll train when we get on the ship, after everyone is asleep." "Great, I just LOVE waiting" I said sarcastically, but my Equipment type Innocence didn't get it "Okay, till tomorrow!" it replied.
"Violet? Violet, do you hear me?" I heard Lavi's voice, and then saw his face right in front of mine. "Eh? Y-yes, I just spaced out for a while" I answered, nervously scratching the back of my head. "Yeah, I noticed. Come on, we have to go!" "Where?" "To the port, we're going to Edo, Japan." He answered and walked faster. "Hey, wait up!" I yelled at him. He looked at me and laughed "Let's see if you can catch me!" he yelled back as he started running. "Remember, you asked for it." I said under my breath and started running after him.
So, this is the end of chapter 3. Again, I'm sorry for the late update, I'll try to write faster. So, please review, tell me what you think, I'd be glad to hear anything!
