Chapter 14: Truth

It was a massacre. Usually, the boy only came to the hospital for minor treatment, just to chat with the therapist or practice keeping all his different selves under control. This time, he came to stay. He had lost control, let one self out that was never meant to be, never meant to exist let alone have control. That self landed him in a small white room, struggling in a straitjacket, frantically calling for his parents and wondering why nobody would look at him in the eye. Wondering why they were all whispering about him and giving him looks like he had killed someone.

oOo

Allen moans softly and starts to rub his eyes. But his wrists encounter fabric, holding him down. His eyes snap open, and a small panicked whine escapes his dry throat. Yanking on the restraints on his wrists and ankles and thrashing, Allen tries to yell. No sound comes, and finally he settles down, eyes going flat and sad. A small voice from next to him whispers a shy,

"Allen?" Allen looks over, breath catching just a little when he sees Lenalee's face. Lenalee looks frightened of him. She is standing next to the bed he's tied to, but not too close. Allen opens his mouth to try speaking, but nothing comes out. Allen closes his eyes, a tear tracing down his cheek. It happened again. Allen sniffles and hopes to the God he is sure has abandoned him that nothing bad happened. He hears someone else enter the room. Lavi's voice mutters something Allen can't hear to Lenalee. Allen continues to cry soundless sobs. Then, Lavi speaks to him.

"Allen buddy, is that you now?" Allen opens his eyes and looks at Lavi. He nods slowly, eyes sad. Lavi smiles a little. "You weren't acting like you before. Was that a different personality again?" Allen nods again, tears starting anew. His hands clasp at the bed sheets beneath him, itching for a notepad. Lavi notices this and quickly unties him. Allen sits up and curls into a ball. Lavi hands him a pencil and the notepad he had been using before. Allen begins to write, sentences forming paragraphs and paragraphs filling pages. It seems that he's writing a whole story. But first, he rips out one page and hastily scrawls a question on it. Did he do anything bad? Allen asks by holding up the ripped page. Lavi and Lenalee exchange unsure looks. Lavi finally swallows and starts to talk, choking on his words at first.

"He…whoever that personality was, he…he killed Tyki Mikk. Slit his throat." Allen's eyes widen and he starts crying anew, tears spilling down his cheeks. Allen wipes at them but gives up after a bit. Kanda walks in and sees this. His features arrange into a scowl.

"Why are you crying?" he says flatly, angry eyes directed at Allen. Allen looks up, eyes wide. He writes a short answer on the backside of the previously torn paper. Because I killed him. Kanda grabs the paper from his hand and tears it into pieces.

"So. What." He hisses angrily. "He tortured you. He left you to be killed by Zombies! Why the hell are you crying over the fact that that monster is dead?!" Allen frowns, eyes turning sad and too old to be in this boy's body. He shakes his head and writes his response again on a separate sheet of paper.

Nobody deserves to die, even if they were terrible. Everyone should get another chance. Kanda growls and swears.

"You're too fucking nice, you idiot. That's gonna get you killed." Allen smiles a small smile and hands him the notebook where he has been continuing to write. Kanda gives it to Lavi, who begins to read it aloud.

"The personality you saw is named the Destroyer of Time. He is completely insane, past reasoning, past anything other than killing, which is all he does. The only reason you aren't all dead along with anything else that moves in this place is because he only got out a little. That was only a tiny bit of his insanity peeking through. But he's powerful, and he still had total control even if he was only let out a little. I keep him way in the back of my head, down where all the really bad stuff I don't want to remember goes. Destroyer of Time has only ever gotten out once before. He's…he's the reason I was in the mental hospital. Otherwise I would have just been getting small therapy classes. Destroyer of Time is also why the people at the mental hospital decided to leave me behind instead of just coming in to get me when the Zombie threat came." Here, Lavi pauses and looks at Allen. "They decided to leave you there? But you said before…" Lavi trails off, realizing that Allen had twisted the truth in order to hide from them this terrifying truth. Allen gestures for Lavi to continue, a sad smile still wavering on his features. Lavi swallows and reads on.

"The last time he got out, it was a total massacre. He killed…so many people…and without a single inhibition. When I came back, they had already decided to put me in the mental hospital. I woke up in a straitjacket in my room. I didn't remember anything, and was really confused. When I discovered what had happened, what 'I' had done, that's when I became mute. Out of shock, they thought. I guess it happened again this time." Lavi stops there, the writing having ended. Allen stares up at him, that bitter smile still on his face. Lenalee sits next to Allen on the bed and hugs him tightly.

"It's okay, Allen. We're here, for you. We won't leave you behind." Allen's eyes widen, and tears gather in them. He smiles happily and hugs her back. Lavi sits on Allen's other side and hugs him too, smiling softly. E then gets up and drags Kanda over.

"C'mon, Kanda. You're part of our group, too!" Kanda grudgingly joins the group hug, liking the sentiments but not willing to put down his pride to admit it. Allen leans into the hugs from his comrades and cries in happiness, glad that he's finally found true friends. The four stay like this for a long while, rejoicing in having found each other again, happy to ignore the world around them for a little while.

Aww, how cute...now, just saying, be prepared for no update in a while. I have total writer's block right now, and I haven't even started the next chapter...waahhhh...sorry! Bye for now, see ya!
