AN: This is a branch off of my first chapter A is for Animalistic. This chapter was typed fast for two reasons. 1. Because of Soulless Ghosty's review about how I could continue my latest chapter. Instead I continued my first chapter, but thanks to the review I would have never thought to continue a chapter. and 2. Book Thief101 helped me out with the deep meaning of this chapter. Her suggestion that 'N' was the 14th letter and should some how relate to the 14th helped me decide the big picture of this chapter! Anyways thanks to both of you!

Warning: Sadistic. Not that bad. A slight torture scene. That's it really.

N is for Nefarious

"The Millennium Earl is searching" The sound of someone singing drifted to Allen's ears. He looked up yet to no avail, the room was still pitch black. The only door in the room had not opened, yet he could hear the singing perfectly. Then as if she had magically appeared, Road Kamelot's dark silhouette was standing in front of Allen. He could see her waving her pointer finger in the air like she was conducting a choir.

"He is searching for a precious heart" Road sang, which made Allen shiver. It was the same song General Yeegar had been singing when he had been drawn to certain insanity. Allen had memorized the song since the first time he had heard it sung from the General's lips.

"Let's check to see if you are it" Road's voice came to a sudden stop as she kneeled down in front of the chained Allen. Her golden eyes seemed to pierce the darkness and her lips turned up into a cruel smile, "Sing with me Allen"

"It seems your song doesn't have an ending yet" Allen said, listening how the song came to a stop on a high note. Making it sound like she hadn't finished the rest. Road put a finger to her chin in thought before reaching out and trailing her hand down Allen's deformed arm.

"It's because nothing has happened yet, there is no ending to sing about" Road said with a sigh, she unchained Allen's hand that did not contain the innocence. She took his bruised hand in hers and played with the fingers. Road had done this many times since her visits. She would take his hand and stroke it like she was sad that it had become dirty and hurt. The first time she had done it Allen had tried to escape. He soon learned that those weren't the best times to try for his freedom. He wasn't giving up; he was just making better plans. So he let Road trail her sharp nails over his palm. He let her draw blood and let her kiss the pain away. Her mood swings were what got Allen nervous. He had made a promise to himself that he would make it home alive. Road's was unpredictable. So Allen decided not to respond.

"If there was an ending I guess it would go something like" Road paused before singing, "and when the Millennium Earl finds the core" Road skipped toward the door. She opened it an inch. Light drained into the room and Allen looked up to see Road smile wickedly.

"There wont be a Black Order anymore" Road finished, leaving childish giggles in her wake.

"Did you think I forgot about your punishment, Allen?" Road's voice came from right in front of him. Allen looked up and let his eyes adjust to the darkness. He could see her outline and her gold glowing eyes. He could also see something that looked silver giving off a slight shine in the darkness.

"Of course not" Allen said putting as much bravado into his voice as possible. Allen couldn't see, but Road seemed to smile at Allen's show of defiance. She wondered if maybe that was the reason she liked him so much. Normal humans would cower and plead, she would be able to smell their fear. With Allen there was silence, bantering and the occasional display of audacity that Road loved to see.

"Good because I think today I'm going to leave a scar, or more specifically multiple scars" Road said with a hint of sadism underlining her voice. The silver glint Road had in her hand was lifted up in front of Allen's face so that he could see the candle stick she had. It had a sharp smooth edge. It was something Allen had never seen before. He was going to say something but decided against it. There was no need to push Road in any directions.

"Scared?" Road asked playfully, taking Allen's silence as a show of fear. Allen lifted his head so that his gaze was leveled with her. Road slide the candle stick down Allen's face slowly. It wasn't pressed down hard enough to draw a blood but he could still feel the sharpness. He shrank back ever so slightly, a movement that didn't go unnoticed by Road.

"No" Allen said softly. He didn't want to put anything more into his voice that might provoke Road. His eyes had adjusted just enough for him to see Road frown at him, and then smile. She took her candle back and twirled it around her fingers slowly.

"Well this might hurt," Road paused before inching closer to Allen, "A lot", Road reached forward and used the sharp edge of the candle stick to cut Allen's shirt. She cut through so that the two halves of his shirt spread and his bare chest was showing. Allen flinched away from her when he felt the sharpness prick his skin.

"Now Allen, you can't move or it won't come out pretty, you don't want an ugly scar do you?" Road asked trailing her warm hands over the left side of his chest. Allen twitched once more before calming himself down and sitting perfectly still. He had realized that following Road's commands for the time being were easier than rebelling.

"One" Road said trailing the sharp tip over Allen's pale skin. The candle stick seemed to burn into his skin and Allen bit down on his lip to keep from crying out. Road had made a small vertical straight line on top of where Allen's heart would be. When the burning stopped, Allen could smell the light tinge of burnt flesh in the air. Road admired her work before bring the candle stick back to Allen's skin.

"Two" Road said making another vertical line that turned slightly down from the original line, like a ticking clock hand.

Road repeated this process and Allen lost count of how many times she dug into his skin. She continued and each place she left burned like the next place she'd start. All the lines made a circle around Allen's heart. Like a five year old drawing a sun. Allen came back to his senses when Road let up for a moment. She hesitated before with a content sigh brought the candle tip back to his skin.

"Fourteen" She said pressing the tip hard on his skin. By now the smell of burnt flesh was the only thing Allen could smell. The only thing he could focus on was the golden iris's looking intently at their work. Just like the previous Road pulled back and her candle stick disappeared. Allen could taste blood in his mouth where he had chewed his lip raw. He gritted his teeth and looked up at Road who was looking down at his chest.

"Pretty" Road admired her work. The vertical lines all stuck out around where Allen's heart would be. The fourteen lines framed a perfect circle. Road took Allen's shirt and ripped a piece of it off. She laid the strip over the recently cut wounds. She smiled when she saw blood spread along the shirt, "Now you'll always remember won't you Allen?" Road whispered.

"Remember what?" Allen coughed, talking to Road made him focus on something else. He was grateful that she hadn't just disappeared leaving him alone with his pain. He forced himself to look at Road, whose eyes twinkled with a satisfying glee.

"That you'll always belong to a Noah" Road said, gently tracing a hand around her artwork, "One way or another"

AN: Well hope you like it. I decided to take a quick trip back to our original Road. This isn't really an AU chapter. Since I did reference to stuff from the anime and manga. Anyways, I hope I didn't get anything wrong. I checked back at the anime to make sure I got Road's song right... so... REVIEW~ 70 here I come!
