Chapter 11
The train ridden by the three exorcists suddenly stopped. Akuma appeared and started attacking. The white haired teen and Chinese girl activated their innocence at once while the blind girl stood behind them speaking to the doll.
"Lala, can you please sing for me?"
"A song? I wouldn't mind singing you a song. I'll sing. I'll sing for you."
"Really? Thank you, Lala."
Lala started singing while the two exorcist fought.
Some of the akuma stopped moving upon hearing the song. It made things easier for Allen and Lenalee to defeat them.
In a carriage, an old man wearing black is cooking food when his golem transmits a message.
"General Yeager, this is Allen Walker. Due to an attack of akuma. Our arrival would be delayed."
"Is that so? Well, I guess I'll only cook enough for us."
The line was ended while the general continued cooking the food for him and his companion.
"My brother told me that we'll be staying at this inn for awhile since no train or other transportions are available at the moment. It really will be days before we get there."
"Which inn?"
"That one over there."
The three exorcists checked in and rested in their rooms.
The next morning, Cerelia woke up earlier than the others. She couldn't sleep again so she changed clothes than walked outside.
Once she got outside, she sensed her surroundings first. There weren't that many people awake yet since the sun hasn't even fully risen. It is a peaceful morning with nothing much going on.
After an hour, she decided to head back since they might be awake already. She started walking after standing still against the trunk of a tree feeling the wind and surroundings.
The number of people increased compared to before as expected. She walked slowly and carefully so she won't bump into anyone. She tried being cautious but in the end it happened.
"I'm sorry miss. I didn't mean to. I wasn't looking where I was going," said a man whose voice seems to age him around early twenties as he offered to help her get up.
Cerelia didn't see it though and tried getting up herself.
"It's fine. I apologize as well."
The man thought her gesture rude though and thought about teaching the child manners.
"Cerelia! Cerelia, are you alright? What happened?" said a young girl's voice that belonged to Lala.
"It's nothing. I just fell. That's all."
"Let's go then. Allen and Lenalee are looking for you."
"Okay."
"Take my hand so you won't get lost."
"Okay."
*Lala's point of view
I saw Cerelia got up early and headed outside. I followed to make sure she'll be fine.
I don't really know her too well but I just have this feeling that I should always watch over her.
She just walked and then stood against a trunk of a tree.
After an hour, she started heading back. She tried being careful so she won't bump into anyone else but in the end, it happened.
The man seems to have gotten angry about Cerelia not accepting help. He thought of her as rude too for the fact that she looks far as if ignoring him.
I intervened before anything happened then brought her back to the inn.
"Lala, thank you."
"Your welcome."
