"I did it." I thought. "I helped Allen."
"Oh dear, you were allive all this time? Sorry girl.But your efforts were proved fruitless."Tyki said.
I looked at Allen,his eyes closed.At the same time, Tyki's hands were in his heart.
"If you had just stayed there,you wouldve lived." Tyki said with a laugh
"In the end, you're still a strong willed girl."Tyki said stroking my cheek.
As I slapped away his hand.My arms still wrapped around Allen.My eyes closed.Looks like my adventure has ended.
ALLEN POV.
"Where am I?" I asked myself.
"Im still alive?"
"Last thing I can remember is...
Tani's smile."
"But...that Noah shouldve killed me!" I questioned
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
"I should be happy!" I said.
"Im alive!" "So why am I crying?" I asked myself while crawling out of bed.
I limped out.Unconscience of where I was going.It didnt matter.As long as it was forward and never back.
I want you to carry on wiht your dream and never let anyone or anything stop you.Keep on walking!Never stop.Dont look back into your past.
Those exact words flowed through my mind as I murmered "Tiara." every second of the way.
I missed her.I missed her so bad..and I am still missing her.
My eyes drifted up.A wall.It stood in my way.My bandaged arm rubbed the wall trying to pry it open
"Theres no way in" A voice spoke
"That must be the guy that saved me" I thought.
"Is there a way in?" I asked
"Why would you need to know?" the man asked not answering my question
The reason flashed through my head again.
"Tiara and Mana." I whispered
"They are my reason."
"What about that one girl?" he asked
My head turn.Was he talking about Tiara?
"Who?"I asked.
"I found her hugging you in the woods.She was injured alot more than you."
"Who?" I asked once again clueless
"She saved your life, but you dont know her?!?!?!?" The guy shouted.
Then it hit me.
Tani's smile...
"TANI!" I yelled.
I bolted up and ran towards the exit.She saved my life.I just met her.But she saved my life.I ran till no limit.Then I came across it,a transparent room.There she lay on the bed.A serene look on her face.But the monitor...she was dying.She wore the same white dress that Tiara wore.She looked exactly like Tiara.The same peaceful look on her when she slept.She was dyinng.Was it because she had tried to save me?No it wasnt tried.She DID save me.
Without thought, I rammed my arm against the screen door.The glass broke,luckily none had hit Tani.
Sobbing against the wall, That same man came running up to me.
"You idiot" he yelled. "Are you TRYING to kill her?"
"Theres a chance she'll live." the man announced
"Buut.mister...she's.." Allen stuttered
"First, dont call me mister.Im still in my 20s.My names Bak.And yes,she may live.I dont know what she was thinking, but she already had 2 large injuries before she protected you.But somethings keeping her alive.We'll scan her later.Thats the wierd thing though, she had to be dead after the 2nd hit.But even after taking most of the pain from you, she's still barely alive.As for you, your innocence protected that small injury you had.Besides for losing your innocence.You had a great chance of living.I dont know about her." Bak said in a monotnous tone.
"She protected me..."I murmered
"Yes." he replied
"But...I barely knew her!" I shouted
"Doesnt matter,she still did it.You can tell,she is strong-willed."
"Just like Tiara" I finished him.
Bak gave me a questioning look.
"Lets hope she lives." He continued. "Id like to meet her...and figure out why she lived against a Noah's attack."
"What would you do if she dies?" Bak asked
"Dont even think that!" Allen yelled.
"Tell me, what would you do?"
"I told you not to even...I'd cry." I answered
"Just cry?" he asked.
"Ive never had someone important leave me before." I lied. Tiara and Mana left my life.
"Dont lie." Bak shouted. "We've had your whole entire life recorded down.It says...you had MANA, you father.And, Tiara, your best friend.And they both left you."
I was crying again.Im a guy, and I cry.Way too much.
DAYS PASSED.
Tani still hadnt woken up.I didnt go near that room.Word was, her condition would worsen, then get better, then worsened.The pattern repeated.I got to know everyone, they seemed to dislike me excluding the three scientists I met.Everyday, I would try to revive my innocence but it just isnt happening.Every night would be the same.Some dream about a death.Resulting in me screaming and yelling.
TANI POV
BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
"Where am I?" I murmered.
"Dead?"
No...
Then...where?
I stepped out of bed and out of the room unconscience of my way.
My whole body ached with pain, but it didnt matter.Looking at my dress,I noticed one thing.
The Dark Orders.
It was a dress from the dark orders.
But this wasnt the normal Orders...It was different.
I limped out and continued on.The delicious scent of food pervaded through the halls.Following the scent, I drifted to the cafeteria.The brim of my dress gently slid against my thigh.As I rubbed my fingers across my thigh once again, the scar.When did it get there? And my dress, it was ripped.What happened?
I carried my tray of food
Why cant I remember anything...
"ALLEN!" I shrieked jumping as well.
All faces turned at me.But not because I screamed, but because I had dumped my food on a guy that was atleast 5 times my size.
I wasnt scaared.Not like he was gonna hurt me.
WRONG.
He held onto my hair as he pulled me up to his height as well as him leaning over.
"You little slut...DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU JUST DID??!?!?!" the man screamed
No one was running to help me.
I bit his arm causing him to drop me.I was pissed.
"Did you just call me a slut?" I said in a soft whisper.
"Look at that dress.One glance and you can tell that you're a WHORE."
"Your gonna regret saying that." I whispered once again.
"What did you say?"
Me being stupid and forgetting the exorcist had reflexes of a cheetah, tried to kick him in the nuts.
"Correction, your a stupid whore." he said gripping on my dress pulling me up.
What the hell was wrong with this guy...An accident and he almost kills me.
He raised his fist, ready to punch me.My face turned the other direction getting ready for the hit.
"Put her down."a stern voice said.
I opened my eyes.It was...Allen.His arm held the man's other hand in a tight grip.
"Allen"I whispered.
There was so much to talk about.More like questions...but...atleast he was here.I wasnt alone.
We walked away and into a private room with 3 people following Allen.Allen walked ahead of me leaving a silence.It was no longer that comforting silence.Now, it was an awkward one.He turned around.Walked towards me, as if he had meant to pin me up at the wall.
"What were you thinking?" he shouted
"w..haatt.?" I questioned
"I didnt mean to spill food on that guy." I said confident that it wasnt my fault
"NOT THAT" Allen yelled while stepping an inch closer to me.
"then what?" I yelled turning my head, afraid Allen might recognize me.
Allen took a deep breath.He was so close.It was unfamiliar to me.If it was 2 years ago, I wouldve been ok with him being this close.But now...
"Why did you save me?" he asked.
"What?"I asked
"You heard me."
"I did, but I dont get what you mean." I murmered under my breath
"You saved me...at the forest.With Tyki."
I remembered that.I got in the way of the hit.But Allen still got hurt severly.I wasnt thinking when I did that.It was instinct.Something just told me that I owed Allen my life.
"Ohhh.That."I whispered.
"Is that all you can say?" he asked.
"Actually...yes."
"Just tell me why!" he shouted
"It was a good deed." I said.
"You just met me!" he yelled
I was disapointed in Allen.Was it wrong to help others? NO. Allen was the one that taught me that.
"Is it wrong to help others?" I asked.
"No...but"
"Exactly."
"Thankyou." he said.
"Thankyou.Thankyou.Thankyou.Thankyou.Thankyou.Thankyou.Thankyou.Thankyou." he replied repeatedly.
"Its actually nothing." I said with a smile.
"No..."he whispered "You did alot."
"You gave me a chance to fulfill my dream."
"and, what is your dream?" I asked.
"to find Tiara." he answered
"What?I thought it was to keep Mana's spirit alive!" I shouted.
"How did you know that?" he asked.
