Chapter 2

"Are we there yet?" the brunette bellowed, glancing out of the cabin window for what had to be the twelfth time in two minutes.

"We just left the city." Amelia said tonelessly.

Estelle rolled her eyes, "Haven't you heard that patience is a virtue?" she said bitter as always.

"Yes, just as rolling your eyes is rude." both Kris and Matt said curtly, flashing an innocent smile. When they realized they had both said it, they flashed each other the same smile before gazing back out their respected window.

"This is going to be a long ride." Amelia groaned, hiding her emerald gaze in her hands.

"Hey, has it occurred to you guys that they put us in our own cart?" her grey eyes peeled away from her window and toward the rest of her cart-mates.

Amelia gazed up at the girl sitting next to her with an annoyed stare. "No really? I couldn't tell." she said sarcastically.

"Yeah I thought that was kinda odd too." Kris agreed, still staring out his window.

"I can see why. Your perverse behavior and lack of common courtesy is appalling." Estelle's nose was once more firmly in the air, making Matt snicker and Amelia tug at her hair lightly.

"No I mean, what's stopping us from jumping out right now?" she asked, eyeing them all again- devious smile plastered to her lips.

"Uh…the fact that we're moving?" Amelia asked, not thinking there need to be more to stop them from trying.

"Not everyone can do gravity defying flips and twists like yourself, Mattalynne." Estelle pointed out, lifting her gauze wrapped foot.

"Curiosity." was Kris's simple answer. Matt nodded slowly and sat back against her seat.

"Same." she replied closing her eyes, folding her hands behind her head, and throwing her feet up on the seat across from her. Estelle glared at her silently, astonished at her lack of educate. "You weren't using the space anyway."

Estelle gasped- the girl smirked, her eyes remaining closed. "Wake me up when we get there." she yawned out.

They all ended up falling asleep, none of them had got one wink of sleep the night before. When Allen opened to carriage door, a very much asleep Mattalynne came falling out, which made Amelia fall to the cushion without the support of her friend.

They both woke immediately on impact, Kris and Estelle waking only after the loud thud Matt made upon landing. "Ouch." she muttered, glaring up at Allen, who was staring at the girl sprawled out at his feet.

He offered her a hand and she reluctantly grasped it and was hauled to her feet. She dusted herself off quickly before retrieving her hat and small bag- it was all she brought with her.

Next to get out of the cabin was Estelle who pretty much had to jump into Allen's arms to get out. She was handed off to Lenalee, while Lavi grabbed both of her suitcases, eyes going wide when he realized how heavy they were.

Amelia was next, taking Allen's hand and jumping down, large wool bag in her hands with all her belongings. Kris jumped out immediately after, nodding happily at Allen and slinging a duffle bag over his shoulder.

All of them walked over to meet a gaping Matt. "Do we have to climb that?" was all she asked.

"Yes, it gets you in shape." Lavi said, smiling slyly at them. Matt's jaw dropped, which made Lavi laugh. "Nah we won't make you climb, but if you ever feel the need to, know that there have been survivors- Allen's for example."

She glanced back at Allen who was laughing awkwardly. "I didn't know there was another way up." he admitted honestly.

Their whole way up the lift, Mattalynne was gaping, running back and forth, mesmerized by the machine.

"She was like this the first time she showed up at the convent and figured out they would feed her." Amelia explained with a sigh.

"For free!" Matt added, still looking over the small details of the lift. "Only difference is that this time you're not drooling over me." she said with a wink which Amelia glared to. "No it's okay you can admit it, Mey-mey, I know I'm awesome." she continued to tease her friend, while the rest of the occupants could only stare.

"We were seven, and you looked like a guy." Amelia said, defensively crossing her arms over her chest.

"Yes, I also claimed to be one." she smiled brightly. "After all, I didn't complain when they started calling me Mathew."

"That's because they were offering you food." she bit back.

Matt nodded, "True. Speaking of which…" she turned to the four exorcists, eyeing them curiously. "They serve food here?"

"No Matt, they let us live here but don't feed us." Amelia said, shaking her head.

"Bummer." Kris replied with a put out sigh.

"Hehe." Matt said with a huge smile on her face.

"Uh, well first you guys have to meet with Nii-san and he'll take you to Hevlaska." Lenalee said with a light smile.

The four exorcists had pretty much kept their mouths shut the whole time, waiting for them to blow or try to escape. They were just forced to leave their homes and families to partake in a very dangerous line of work. Why hadn't they blown a fuse yet? The only one that seemed to still have a problem with it was the injured girl, and she wasn't getting far on that leg anyway.

They never tried. It was like they didn't care at all that they had no say about their life anymore, or maybe, they just didn't know about that little fact yet.

"Ewww!" Matt exclaimed, overcome with shivers. "That was…"

"Weird." Amelia finished for her.

"And not in the good way." Kris added, earning an odd look from Amelia.

"There is a good way?" the blonde asked skeptically. Matt and Kris just stared wide eyed at her.

"You have not lived my child." Matt said, patting her on the shoulder just as Komui popped up out of nowhere.

"Alright, got all the data from Hevlaska and now you guys are all up to date on the whole Akuma/Earl situation am I correct?" he asked, taking a sip out of his favorite mug.

"Akuma, Earl, Noah…bad." Amelia droned.

"Innocence, exorcists…good!" chirped Kris, adding a small hop in his step for emphasis.

"Okay." he affirmed. "Well you guys are gonna have to train a bit to bond with your Innocence a little more before we assign you missions." he turned on his heal quickly, glasses catching the light as he stared at them. "You'll be able to test out my new Komurin." he stated, with a maniacal grin.

Amelia leaned over toward Mattalynne, not taking her eyes off the odd man in front of them. "How did he not spill his coffee?" she whispered to the smaller brunette.

"Witch!" Matt hissed back, glaring daggers at the man.

"Let's be off shall we?" Komui stated, turning his back to them and walking off.

"Uh…what about Estelle?" her viridian eyes questioned the group.

Matt and Kris glanced at each other before Kris spoke. "Nose goes!" he shouted, placing his hand on his nose, Matt following seconds after him. They both began giggling before walking off to find Komui.

"Bastards." Amelia hissed, glaring in their direction, pulling Estelle's arm over her shoulder.

"At least they seem to be getting along." Estelle pointed out, leaning on the younger girl.

"I guess." Amelia agreed, starting off slowly in their way.
