CHAPTER 7: Another new kid
I was up earlier than usual, it was four a.m and the halls were as silent as a graveyard, I couldn't sleep a bit whenever Itried to sleep her mind wandered to her parents and the events of yesterday and I tossed and turned, after the fifth attempt she just gave up and went to wander aimlessly around the hallway. After twenty minuets of that she found herself in front of the library again, she went in and just stared at the massive rows of books. I always loved libraries, back home, I was a frequent visitor, often going three or four times a week, something about the countless words and ink text was comfortingto her, like a second home, since her parent's untimely death. She could remember it like it was just yesterday, although a year had passed.I randomly scanned the shelves not really looking for anything in particular and it went like this until something bright registered in my eyes,and I struggled to find out what it was,but realized it was just the sunrise streaming through the window. I spent had just spent the last hour in the library without even realizing it. Sigh I better get out of here before anyone wakes up. I walked out of there, but there were still little people in the halls yet so I just walked along the corridors not really paying attention where I was going until I ran into somebody.
" Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought there would be nobody up at this hour!" I said, helping the person up, only to realize it was Allen,
"No it's okay," he said, rubbing his head," I didn't realize there was someone else here because everyone else is usually is no one up this early. Hey why are you up this earliy?" he asked looking directly at me,
"Ah, well I couldn't sleep... after what happened yesterday..." I looked away,
" Oh...right," he said his voice going silent at the end," You know, I heard that...sometimes, it' helps to talk about it like what happened to your family."
My eyes widened, Crap he heard what I said. Sigh. I guess I have to tell him." Here's, what what happened,"
flashback
It was a nice and temperate day too, but that sunny disposition didn't mach the tragedy that befell us. It was 8 p.m. and the beginning of summer, for our family that meant mom and dad running their bookstore, and us working there for our allowance. All in all it was a normal day, the shop was at closing time when this mysterious woman, came knocking on the door.
" Sorry miss we're closed," Brayden called from behind the bookshelf,
"Oh sorry but i have some business to deal with your parents." the woman said,
I eyed her suspiciously because she was wearing a a trench-coat and sunglasses in the middle of a June night. Odd, she looks familiars, but where have I seen her before?
" Hm, business, come with me."he said gesturing for the woman to follow him,
Me and Brayden looked at each other, untilwe heard my dad's scream, " Jack?" my mom yelled running in after him, her screams were heard to, right before the explosion blasted me and Brayden out the front windows. "MOM!DAD!" I screamed as the entire house was engulfed in flames, the police and fight fighters arrived a few minuets before, but the house already was gone, and the police were holdingme back from running back in the flames,
They never found the one responsible because the evidence was destroyed by the fire and a few weeks later we got sent to Aunty's house. And that was like the end of our lives as we knew it or so we fought.
end flashback
We both were silent for a long time, when Allen was the first to speak up," Must've been hard...I understand how you feel...I've been through a lot too, and you're lucky to have your brother." He said sadly,
...He's right. His father died too... so I know he knows what I've been through because he has too... It seams like we have a lot in common.
"Yeah, ever since then I've kinda been taking care of him,you know keeping him out of trouble, he gets in trouble a LOT," I laughed," But I always, followed my mom's advice, she always said,'As long as you're alive you can keep on moving, no matter what stands in your way,' and I've done just that." I said staring off into space, only to end up walking head-first into a wall.
"Ow, that hurt~" I said holding my sore nose,
"Are you okay," He asked,
" Yeah, I'm fine"" Wait what time is it?" I asked,
" Why?" He asked,
"Well...I wanna see if the mess hall is open," I said slightly embarrassed,
He laughed," Sure, let's go,"
(time skip)
"Hey, Jerry!" I yelled when I reached the order window,
"Oh hey there you two!" he answered back cheerfully," Allen, let me guess, you want the usual, and what do you want Crystal-chan?"
" I'll have some coffee and toast,"
" Coming up, oh and you hear there's another new recruit!"
"Yeah, if you see someone who looks like me but has white hair like Allen-kun's that's him. And he has a an appetite almost as big as Allen-kun's too," I joked,
" Sure... here you go sweetie," he said,
"Allen-kun, let's go sit down, okay?"
" Sure," He replied from behind his mountain of food,
" So Crystal-chan is it really true there is another exorcist?" Lenalee asked me,
"Yep! He's my twin brother," i said cheerfully,
The other's who already hadn't seen him stared,
" You have a twin?" Lenalee asked,
" Heh, yeah, his name is Brayden-san and...I think he's in the infirmary right now." I told her," Oh that reminds me, I have to go by there later," I got up and left to go to my next thing seeing Brayden.
(time skip)
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" I asked,
" Yeah, it'salready healing so they said that I could possibly leave later today," He said cheerfully removing the bandages, I got a good look at the almost-fresh scar that went along with his snow-white hair. Seeing him was like a punch in the gut, I can't believe this happened to him, it's my fault he's like this.
" Crystal-chan,what's wrong?" he asked,
I gazed at him with a sad smile," Brayden-san, It's my fault you're like this, I shouldn't have left you alone, now you got a curse like me,"
he frowned and shook his head,"No if you're going to blame anyone, blame me, I shouldn't have gone and kicked that thing, i wouldn't have got cursed. But look on the bright side, we still alive, and we got awesome looking hair,"
I laughed," I suppose that's true, I really like the hair color, oh and I think since we're both cursed does that mean we could see the akuma's souls like Allen-san can? "
I nodded
"Cool!" his eyes sparkled,
"It's not as cool when you actually see it little brother."
" Hey...I'm not little!We're the same age!"
"Yeah but I'm still older."
"Oh by what? 5 minuets?"
"Yep, so that still means I'm older than you," I smirked,
"GAH curse your logic!" hescreamed theatrically, I just laughed but our fun was cut short when this guard burst in and hauled me away,
"Crystal-Chan!" He yelled,
"I'll be back!" I called,
" So what's this for" I asked the guard,
" The inspector wishes to see you," the guard said,
"What?" I asked, the man who looks like pure evil wants to see me? This can't possible be good.
" Hey! Crystal-san!What's going on?" Allen called, attempting to walk up to me but was stopped by the guard
"Sorry, Walker-san, but the inspector wants to see her so no one is allowed to converse with her," he said,
" Don't worry Allen-kun, I'm sure it'll be okay," I said staring back at him with a sad smile and then followed the them to wherever the inspector was, not knowing what my future will hold,
