A/N: This chapter won't be that long :P it'll continue in September, but I got a rhyme for Leticia and I just didn't want to wait~!
Lenalee entered the jail cell Leticia was in, and was holding a tray of leftover food from dinner. Leticia was sleeping, so Lenalee set the food where Leticia could reach. The sixteen year old blinked. She could see traces of tears on former Noah's cheeks, and could still see tears forming. 'She's been crying…. How can they harm a nine year old…and right after seeing her father turn into a monster…. How awful.'
"Take a picture why don't you."
Lenalee flinched when she was met with Leticia's chocolate brown eyes. Lenalee took a napkin and attempted to brush away Leticia's tears, but the Noah smacked Lenalee's hand back. "Hey…listen, I know you don't like us exorcists, but I'm trying to help. But…I don't understand…why don't you like me? I know you don't like exorcists, but I feel like you don't like me the most."
"It because you're weak. You think you can save everyone, even though you can't do anything with the state you're in. It's true you were amusing before, but now it's getting on my nerves. You're useless without the help of your friends. You have a strong will, but physically…you're useless. And being weak is not acceptable to me. You need to improve or else you're nothing to me but a helpless bug." Leticia said coldly. Suddenly she sensed something that made her grin. Leticia grinned wickedly, "I suggest you gain your power back, or you're gonna be in for it."
"What?"
"Your safety and peace begins to dim. The night slowly begins to slim." Leticia echoed. Lenalee twitched. Memories of almost disappearing came back to her. The cold, haunting voice sent chills down Lenalee's spine once again. "Screams of terror you call can hear. The Earl wants you humans to fear."
"What are you talking about?"
"The moon will be coloured of crimson blood. In the Order, tears of mercy will flood." Leticia laughed. Abruptly, there were shouting, and cries of fear. Lenalee's body shook. Leticia was now laughing like a maniac, "Tonight you will think us Noahs are cruel. Because tonight, insanity is gonna rule!"
A guard opened the door quickly. He was panting hard from running, "Ha…ha…Miss Lenalee! We're under attack!"
"What?" Lenalee jerked her head down at Leticia and her eyes widened and she received a sinister grin from the former Noah. Lenalee ran out of the jail cell with the guard behind her.
Leticia pulled her head back and laughed. "My, my, my…Lulubell isn't showing any mercy is she?"
"Well why should she? She needs to get something for the Earl after all."
Leticia blinked. She swore she heard Tyki's voice. But where? "P-papa? Papa! Where are you?" Leticia moved her head side to side, and didn't see a thing. "Y-you're there…right?"
Tyki's voice made a low chuckle. Tyki suddenly emerged from the walls and appeared in front of Leticia. Tyki's eyes softened when he saw the remains of tears on Leticia's cheek. The male Noah kneeled down next to Leticia and tucked a stray hair away from her eyes. "You've been crying haven't you?"
Leticia made a brief laugh, "What gave it away?"
Tyki smiled and ruffled Leticia's hair. Inside, the older Noah wanted to just break Leticia out of this horrible jail cell. He couldn't bear seeing her in chains, bruised, blood trickling down her head; he just couldn't take it. But he had to because of the Earl. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. If I hadn't been beaten by those exorcists, the Earl never would have had the idea to make you do this. I shouldn't have left you alone…."
Leticia nodded, but was looking at the ground the whole time. "You broke your promise…." Leticia mumbled.
Tyki blinked, "I did?"
"Back before we joined the Earl, you said nothing would happen to you…." Leticia mumbled again. Tyki strained himself to be able to hear Leticia. "You got stabbed by Allen's innocence, and then you turned into this…monster. You were just so scary…it was just awful. It was like you were a completely different person."
Tyki furrowed his eyebrows. He ripped off Leticia's chains right out of the wall and hugged Leticia tightly. "I'm sorry I scared you…. Something happened, and I just turned into that. I'm sorry I broke my promise."
Leticia felt absolute relief from being loose of those chains. Leticia hugged back, "It's okay…. I'm not gonna leave here am I though."
Tyki looked down at Leticia and sighed, "Yeah…but I'll try to visit. I might not, but you must know that it's because I don't want to. It's because I can't."
Leticia smirked, "Got it. Where's Road?"
"She had something else to do. But she said she wanted to come see you but she couldn't." Tyki replied.
Their happy family moment died down when they heard more screaming coming from upstairs. Leticia just couldn't help but grin, and so did Tyki. "Seems like Lulubell's having fun."
Leticia smirked, "After this night, not many people will be remaining."
Tyki raised an eyebrow but then replaced it with a smirk. Maybe he should try it but only once. "And to us, it'll be nothing but entertaining."
To be continued…
