Continuation of Tim's Recording!


Chapter 8: Wait Here

In time, the two traveled south, searching for a job so they can sustain their needs. Fortunately, there was a circus around in the next town their moving. They were looking for a helper around. Just what the twins needed.

"Look... The circus is in town..." she pointed at the poster. "They're looking for a helper too."

"Great idea! I'm signing up." the boy smiled. "There's still hope after all..."

"I'll come with you." She took a step forward but the boy stopped her.

"No," He gave a serous look. "Wait here."

"But-"

"No buts..." He puts his finger on her lips, stopping her words.

"But, Allen..."

"Don't worry. I'll be back. Just wait here." He left.

"But... it's Christmas Eve." She moans. She found a spot by the fence and sat there impatiently. There was nothing to do, and she had no one to talk to. December 24. It was suppose to be the day they celebrate Christmas, the day they celebrate their birthdays.

"Fufu, what are you doing alone in here? " The fat man in a fancy coat and weird top hat appeared once again.

"You must be cold, Lero~" His umbrella spoke.

"Ah! It spoke!" Aria screamed and pointed at the umbrella.

"Of course, I speak Lero~" the umbrella threw her a warm blanket. "Here's a blanket for you, Lero~"

"Thanks?" She gladly wrapped it around her.

"Where's your brother? "

"He's in the circus... getting a job..." she said in an annoyed tone.

"He left you alone? " His wide smile got wider.

"No, he's just-" she tried explaining but the man cut her off.

"He left you alone in Christmas Eve... pity, pity " He pats her small head.

"Pity, Miss Aria, Lero~"

"Don't worry... I'll give you something for Christmas. " He waves his hands and like a magic trick, two presents appeared from his hands.

"Here's one for you," He gives the one with the red wrapping. "And here's one for your brother."

"What is it?" She shakes her present.

"Go guess "

----------------------------

"That's it... That's just what Tim got.." Cross closed Tim's mouth. It flew off and chopped at the curtains.

"I feel sick..." Allen whispered. "This is sick... I had a sister... A twin sister... and I never remembered her one bit." he looked down to the empty floor, his reflection reflecting his pain. "It's almost like giving her away to the devil..."

"It wasn't your fault Allen. Earl has his old tricks up till now."

"Does she know?" Allen didn't move from his position. They all froze.

"No. I don't think the Noahs or Earl had a plan on telling her." Cross light up another cigarette. "They used her as a radar. Her right eye works perfectly like yours. Her right arm is unpracticed but it's as strong as yours."

Allen touched his left eye. He remembered it. The time when Mana became an akuma because of him. The time he got cursed. 'Curse you, Allen!!!'

"But how is that possible? Isn't Allen the only one cursed here?" Komui pushed up his glasses.

"I can't specifically say this but I think since they were twins, some kind of connection is between them. Call me crazy but I think it's the Twin Innocence."

"The what?" Komui and Allen said in a duet.

"Twin Innocence. It's quite rare to find an innocence like it. It makes a connection to both users. Whatever happens to the other, affects the other user. Like for example, Allen got cursed with his left eye, Aria got hers on her right. It 'might' be possible to merge both innocence to get a stronger one but the users has to do it willingly. There 'might' be also a possibility that when merged it could be the 'Heart'."

"Twin Innocence, huh?"

"It's hard to understand once when you start saying the word "might", master." Allen grumbled.

"I know you, kid... You're worried about your sister." Cross messed Allen's hair.

"Oh, yeah... Can I go now? I promised that I'll be back in the infirmary."

"Sure, kid. Take care of her."

Explosion. A wailing siren was heard all over the head quarters. ["ALL EXORCIST PLEASE PROCEED TO SECTOR 10, WE HAVE AN AKUMA ALERT AT LEVEL 4!"]
