Chapter 6: Confrontation
Lenalee groans as she groggily opens her eyes.
'I'm getting sick and tired of this passing out thing…' She thought.
She looks around and realizes that she's in a room and she's lying on an old but comfortable bed. Lavi and kanda were sitting at her bedside.
"Young Master, Lenalee is finally waking up!" Lavi said as a smile of relief came to his face.
"Good to have you back, Lenalee." Kanda said.
"What happened?" Lenalee asked.
"Oh, you have seen it. Too bad you passed out during the fall. We were plummeting through the air until Allen turns his left arm into some…monster claw and that quickly grab all of us and land on the bottom safely. Then he took us here…to his room." Lavi explained.
"Where's Allen?" Lenalee asked, widening her eyes.
"Don't worry, he's fine. He's over there." Kanda said. Lenalee tilts her head to see what's behind Kanda. There was Allen, sitting on his armchair sleeping. Lenalee smiled.
"Allen?" She said. Allen woke up and stares at her beautiful purple eyes.
"Lenalee…" Allen said softly. Lenalee got out from the bed and approached him.
"Allen…is it true? Are you…really my fiancé?"
Lavi and Kanda widen their eyes. "Wh-wh-wh-what?! FInace?" Lavi said in shock.
Allen grabs his pain and shook his head. "I think…I'm finally starting to remember…I…was in the mansion foyer…with my parents and then…two adults came up to us with a girl with dark green hair…"
Lenalee widens her eyes as she also starts to remember. "Yeah…then I smiled at your father…then your mother introduced you to me. And you smiled at me."
"Yeah…then we hold hands…" Allen said as he grabs Lenalee's hands. "Start dancing to the music…and we both stared into each other's eyes." He tilts his head up and he and Lenalee stare at each other.
"Until those Noah bastards stormed into the mansion…ruining our fun." Lenalee said. "Road snatched me…and I cried for my parents. My parents…tried to help me…but they were brutally killed…"
"Me and family…ran into our room before the demons could kill us. But unfortunately, the earl was there in our room, waiting for us. He killed my parents while I cried helplessly and watch in one corner. I begged the Earl to spare my life…and I unwillingly let him turn me…into a Noah."
"As for me, Road took me to the East Wing and I cried, asking her to spare my life. She told me she will spare my life, if I serve her as her personal slave. I then worked as a slave to her for two years, until she realized that why made me a slave, when she can made me a weapon. A weapon to kill the Earl and help her take over the mansion. She then erases my memory and…that's as far as I can remember…"
Lavi and Kanda both watched Allen and Lenalee dumbfounded. "Okay seriously, tell us what the hell is going on?!" Lavi asked.
Allen and Lenalee however, ignored Lavi as they smiled lovingly at each other. "Allen…you are my fiancé." Lenalee said.
"Lenalee…" Allen whispered. He leans his head forward and kissed Lenalee. Lenalee closes her eyes and passionately kissed back. She wrapped her arms around Allen and she pushed Allen back on his armchair as she leaned against him.
"What's going on here?" Lavi said, watching this in concern. Kanda shrugged as he is also puzzled.
After a while, Lenalee gently removed her lips from Allen and gazed into his eyes. She gently stroked her hand through his hand.
"So you're not a bad person after all." Lenalee whispered.
"Yes. I'm not."
"So those people you killed before were-"
"Road's followers. Yes. I had to take them out because they were against my former master. Well, except Lulu, because she was going to kill you. And…I'm sorry I had to brutally kill them in front of you."
Lenalee smiled. "I love you Allen…"
"I love you too." Allen replied. Lenalee then turned to the table and sees a revolver on it. She walks over to it, takes it and opens the drawers to find any ammunition. "What are you doing now?"
"I'm going to stop Road Kamelot." Lenalee said.
"Don't be foolish, Lenalee! You almost got killed back there." Kanda said.
"I know, but someone still has to stop her. I can't let her bring anymore harm." Lenalee said as she finally found a box of bullets in one of the drawers.
"Lenalee, Road can easily take you down by saying 'Would you kindly' to you." Allen said as he stood up from his armchair.
Lenalee sighed. "You're right…"
"But thankfully, I have this." Allen took out a syringe from his pocket. Lenalee widens her eyes.
"What is that?"
"It belongs to my former master. The Earl's antidote to your mental conditioning."
"Will it work?"
"It isn't tested yet. But I hope it will." Allen then gently grabs Lenalee's arm and pierced the syringe into her arm. Lenalee cringes a bit. A while later, Allen removes the syringe. "Alright, it's done."
"Thanks Allen. I promise, I will come back." Lenalee nods her head. She turns to Lavi and Kanda. "Lavi, Kanda, stay here with Allen."
"Don't worry, we will." Lavi grinned.
"And if you need us, just call us. You have our support." Kanda added.
"No problem." Lenalee said.
"Good luck, Lenalee. You'll find Road at the East Wing." Allen said.
"So, that's why you told me the East Wing was forbidden before. Thanks."
Lenalee walk down the hallways which lead to another huge pair of doors. "This is it, Lenalee. Once you enter through those doors, you're in the East Wing." Allen said to Lenalee through the radio.
"Got it." Lenalee replied. She pushed the doors open and slowly enters the East Wing. Then, another voice spoke up in her radio. It was Road.
"Ah, so you are now hooked up with Allen Walker now, huh Lenalee? Alright, that's it. Fun's over. Now…would you kindly shoot yourself in the head?" Road asked through the radio. Lenalee shuts her eyes tightly, thinking she will forcefully obey Road's command and kill herself. But a few seconds later, nothing happen.
"What?" Lenalee said as she opens her eyes. The antidote Allen gave her worked after all!
"What? I say, would you kindly, shoot yourself in the head?" Road asked again.
Lenalee narrows her eyes. "Forget it Road, I'm finally cured of my mental conditioning. You can't control me as your puppet anymore."
Road growled. "Fine. You will be dealt with as such. You really are a fool. You would dare disobey the person who spare you life and-"
"Turn me into a tool? I'm not a thing for killing, I'm a human, an individual! And I make my own destiny! And my destiny is to stop this madness, and if necessary, kill you."
"Fine. Then as soon as you entered my room, I'll show you no mercy! I'll rip your limbs apart and get rid of you ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Road yelled angrily before hanging off. Then, Allen talks to Lenalee through the radio again.
"It's okay, Lenalee. You don't need that bitch. You did the right thing. You are an individual. You don't need some psychopathic girl to command you around." Allen said.
"Thanks." Lenalee whispered as a tear rolled down her cheek.
She continued walking down the hallways until she finally arrives at another pair of huge doors. She opens the doors and finds herself in a huge room. Standing at the middle was a grey-skinned girl with spiky blue hair, dressed in a white blouse, red ribbon around her neck, black skirt, black and purple striped stockings and black shoes. She was none other than Road Kamelot.
"We finally meet…Lenalee…" Road hissed, narrowing her eyes.
Lenalee holds up her revolver. "Are you ready to die, Road?"
