~Sorry for such a late update I had speech, the school play and a sickness to deal with (not really good excuses), I hope you aren't to sick of the wait to not read this I will hopefully be able to update regularly now. Please comment I always enjoy them and if you ask a question I will try to answer them either in a PM or in the next chapter. I finally got some Allen action even if just a little~
Tyki's pov
I stepped into the room. The first thing I saw was Neah crumpled up in a ball by his bed. Then my eyes traveled onto the figure in the bed and my heart stopped. There on the bed was a mass of dirty/white hair; under that hair was an oh-so-familiar face with sunken eyes and split, bloody lips. I tried to scream but all that came out was a muffled squeak.
Adam's pov
I watched as Tyki and Road's faces turned from excitement to horror in a flash as they realized just who was on the bed. They scurried over to the bed and in the process knocked over Neah which brought him out of his panic attack.
"Wha-…when did you guys get here?" Neah asked the intruders. They didn't answer besides starting to cry harder. I walked over to the two and picked them up, brought them to the chair that I had previously occupied and after I changed to my clown form sat them upon my lap. I hoped to let them relieve their stress and shock, which they did. They gripped my clothes tight enough to tear the cloth, by the time they finished my clothes were sopping wet and ripped to shreds. They looked up at me and snuggled closer into my chest.
"W-what ha-happened to him, Milline?" Road and Tyki asked in unison. I was startled due to the fact that Tyki would never call me by my nickname. Hugging them closer still, I told them what I assumed had happened ending with how we found him.
"I believe all that had happened has finally broken him. Not only was he abused in this life but when he gained his memories he got back all the abuse from the previous life, we already know that he only turned a Noah in the past life so at least he wouldn't have any other memories coming in. The memories, they broke him to the point of suicide." I sighed and tried to stand up but the two Noah's on my lap would not budge. Road wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Do you think I could go into his mind and try to awaken him Milline?" Road asked, her face in my shoulder.
"No!...I don't want you sucked into his nightmares." Road started to cry again, I sighed." Fine you can, but I'm warning you, if it looks like you are being sucked in I will break the connection any way possible, without causing both of you any harm of course." Road squealed in delight.
"Yes, yes, okay when should I start?" She asked. I stood and this time was able too, Tyki and Road willingly fell of my lap knowing that something was going to be done to help Allen.
"How about right now?" I answered. Road nodded standing she walked over to Neah's bed and removing the comforter she laid on top of the sheet so all that separated her and Allen was thin piece of cloth. Tyki after watching her walked over to the bed and copied her actions. I chuckled knowing that Tyki would not go into his mind but would protect both of them. Neah finally stood, he also walked over to the bed, but he stood next to it and took Tyki's hand in his own. I had to fight full blown laughter because normally Tyki would have torn his hand out of the grasp. I turned to Road who had been looking at me.
"Are you ready?" she nodded. "Good and remember if I feel that you are too far in or are in any trouble I will pull you out." She nodded again and placed her head near Allen's in a mock sleep.
Allen's Pov
Darkness, comforting darkness.
Is this heaven…?
No, I would have gone the other way, I was bad.
It's dark, too dark.
Am I dead? hopefully, but this does not feel like the right darkness to be death…
Damn it, not even death would accept me…
Probably not dead, but I feel no pain
/sigh/ if I'm not dead I might as well try to get up…
Pain, excruciating pain…
Voice, familiar, wonder why…Road…Who?...Pain…
Darkness.
Everyone's pov
An hour has passed since Road entered Allen's mind. Neah is finally reasonable again and is reading a book in the corner waiting for something to happen. Tyki has fallen into a fitful sleep and Adam is standing near the bed looking for the first sign from Road or Allen.
Road suddenly let out a whimper and her skin lost all color to it. Adam jumped to her side and shook her shoulder attempting to wake her up. If you can guess this did not work, still trying to break the connection Adam lifted Road into his arms and brought her to the other side of the room hoping that removing her from Allen's presence would work but this only caused her to scream in agony. Startled Neah jumped from his chair and approached Adam.
"Adam, I'm going to try to break the connection as the Musician." Adam nodded and backed away from Road after setting her down on the floor. Neah knelt next to her and placing his hand on her head closed his eyes and started to hum. After a moment or two he pulled his hand from Road head and gently shook her to wake her up. Road slowly regained consciousness when she did she looked at Adam and Neah gave a weak smile, got up, and went over to Allen to stroke his hair. Tyki was awake now and was wholeheartedly trying to get the attention of Road to ask what condition Allen was in and if he would wake up soon. Road realizing that someone was trying to talk to her lifted her head and when she spotted Tyki sighed and grabbed her uncle's hand to help her too climb into his lap.
"Road? Are you okay" Tyki was used to the over affectionate girl but this was strange even for Road. Neah walked over to the pair and sat with them on the bed. Road looked up to her uncle.
"Yes Tyki I'm fine but Allen-," she broke off with a sob. Tyki pulled her against his chest rubbing her arms in a circular pattern to help calm her down. After a while she reined in her emotions enough to continued talking. "…Allen is willing to wake up…but his pain is terrible and deep. When he wakes up, which should be soon, we have to help him Milline, we have too." She pleaded.
"Yes we will. Now you said that he would awaken soon, how soon do you think it'll be until he does?" Tyki asked Road letting her go in the process. Road crawled over to Allen and continued to stroke his ratted hair.
"His body is healing when it gets to a good level of health he will awaken, at least his body will."
"What do you mean?"
"He is trapped in a mindset of Darkness, pain; that no one wants him not heaven or hell, not even his own species, the humans. He might, and I do mean might, be trapped in his mind until we can crack his shell." Road finished not answering the original question Adam reminded her about it. Road glanced over at him sighed and walked over to the door.
"I would think within the week, now if you'll excuse me I have some anger to quench." She opened the door and walked out slamming it behind her rattling it on its hinges.
