Chapter 14- Lenalee In Wonderland
Author's Note: Well, I've been chuckling at some reviews, and I found it very funny that I did what people asked before they even asked. XD Enjoy!
The sun neared the horizon as the three set up camp yet again.
Lavi was busy trying to cook something that looks like meat, but gave off a weird odor.
Krory and Lenalee were watching Lavi helplessly as he tried to cook again.
"Man... why didn't we take any food before leaving…" Lavi muttered bitterly as he tossed the burnt piece of meat away, and Krory grimaced as he looked down at the meat Lavi had finished cooking, if that's the right word for the pile of black meat on a plate.
"Tomorrow we can at least reach a town to get some real food…" Lenalee said hopefully, and the other two nodded as they just went to sleep without any food.
The morning came quickly, and Lavi was the first awake as it was his job to put the fire out.
He looked around the clearing calmly as he put his headband on with a smirk.
"At least no Akuma are here yet…" He muttered with a sigh of relief and quickly splashed the fire with some water from the nearby river.
He looked over at Lenalee and Krory as the two woke up, and they slowly went back to walking.
"Walking, walking, walking… That's all we ever do now-a-days…" Krory grumbled bitterly as he walked behind Lenalee and Lavi.
He looked down at the dirt path, and he perked up as he passed by a red spotted mushroom.
"Hey, Lavi!"
"Yeah?"
"Is this edible?" Krory asked as he pointed down at the mushroom, and Lavi looked down at it.
"I don't know. I've never been a fan of mushrooms… But I'm pretty sure no mushroom has red spots…"
"Hehehe… Bookmen sure are smart then."
Lavi's eyes widened and his hand shot to his hammer as he whirled around to see something standing in front of the two.
"Who are you!?"
"I am Master Noah's personal bodyguard. Poker's the name." Poker stated with a grin, and Lavi's eyebrow rose a little.
"Master Noah again? How many personal bodyguards does this guy have anyway?"
"Only one. Me." Poker stated calmly with a chuckle, and Lavi looked at the Akuma in confusion until his eyes widened at the lack of people here.
"Lenalee!?" He said as he looked around, but didn't see Lenalee or Krory now.
"What did you do to them!?" He snapped at Poker, but Poker calmly pointed upward.
"Welcome to my Wonderland, Bookman. Here is where your thoughts come true. Haha!" Poker stated before dissolving into thin air, and Lavi quickly activated his hammer as he looked around.
Lenalee looked around at the purple trees surrounding her while she sat on a yellow rock that had blue dots on it.
"Where am I?" She asked out loud, but a sudden rustling of a nearby bush snapped her out of her thoughts.
She quickly braced herself as something walked out of the bush.
Lenalee's eyes widened as the thing smiled to her.
"Lenalee…" He muttered happily as Lenalee gaped back at him.
"Allen…?"
Krory was flat against a purple tree as he stared in shock at the person in front of him.
"It can't be…"
"Why not? You're the one who killed me, and I'm all you ever think about."
"But I did kill you!" Krory muttered in shock as Eliade stood in front of him calmly.
"Do I look dead to you?" She asked, but Krory couldn't respond for what came next made him silent.
Lenalee staggered a little, but then ran to Allen and flung her arms around him.
"Allen! Is it really you?" She asked as tears rolled down her face.
"Yeah, it's me, Lenalee…" Allen muttered as he put his hand on her head and held her against him.
"Allen…" Lenalee muttered happily, but she opened her eyes when Allen took her hands in his own.
"Allen?" She muttered as she looked up at him and froze when he pushed her to the ground.
She hit the ground hard, and she weakly opened her eye to see Allen on top of her.
"Allen… What are you doing?"
"What you want." He muttered before kissing Lenalee on the lips, and she froze as she looked at him in surprise.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm only doing what you want me to do, Lenalee." Allen whispered in her ear as he put his hands on her waist and kissed her neck calmly.
Lenalee clamped her eyes shut, and she then opened them. "I don't want this!" She shouted, and pushed Allen off her.
She quickly stood up as Allen smirked at her. "Stop messing with me. You want this." Allen said calmly, and Lenalee backed away slowly as her body started to tremble.
"I-I… No, I don't!"
"Lying is a sin, girl."
Lenalee's eyes widened as Poker suddenly appeared nearby, and the Akuma laughed happily.
"What do you mean? I'm not lying!"
"Nice try, girl. You have no idea what my power is, do you? My power is to create anything from memories, thoughts, and even feelings." Poker stated with a laugh, and it jabbed its thumb at Allen.
"This is all of your thoughts of him in one. He will only do what you wanted him to do or say. In truth, he's what you thought the perfect Allen is." Poker stated with a laugh, and Lenalee gritted her teeth as Allen stood back up.
"So all of this is a lie!?"
"No, girl. Listen better this time. This is your truth." Poker stated with a chuckle, and then pointed at her.
"Have fun with your thoughts, girl!" He shouted happily, and Lenalee froze again as Allen grabbed her and threw her to the ground again while smirking.
Poker continued to laugh happily as Allen got on top of Lenalee, and she clamped her eyes shut as Allen moved his hand under her dress.
"N-No… I…" Lenalee muttered sadly, but was drowned out by Poker's laughter while Allen continued to smirk at her.
"The ecstasy! This is wonderful! I've always wanted something to play with, and you're perfect for that role!" Poker shouted happily while Allen continued to have his way with Lenalee.
"Not so fast, Chuckles!"
Lenalee's eyes snapped open as Allen was suddenly smacked away, and Lavi stood in front of Lenalee with his hammer resting on his shoulder.
"Lavi…" Lenalee muttered as she fixed her dress, Poker tilted its head with a grin.
"How strange… Tell me, Bookman. How did you get here?"
"My thoughts did."
"Ah, I see. Quite a smart lad you are." Poker said with a grin, and Lavi smirked as he lifted his hammer.
"I actually have to thank you, Akuma."
"Hmm? Thank me?"
"Yeah. Thanks to you making our thoughts at the time you created this place a reality."
"You truly are strange boy. Why say that, and how come you have enough power to come into this area?" Poker asked, and Lavi chuckled as he lowered his hammer.
"My thoughts were simple. To become strong enough to destroy that Leaf Coldblood." Lavi stated as flames suddenly erupted around his hammer.
Poker's eyes widened as Lavi smacked his into a couple of trees with his hammer, and Allen slowly dissolved into nothing as did the area.
Lenalee looked around to see them back on the dirt path while Lavi stayed in front of her with his hammer out.
"Lavi… Thank you…"
"No problem."
"But… Lavi?" Lenalee asked, and Lavi looked back as she grimaced at him with a scowl.
"You were also thinking about something else, weren't you?" She asked, and Lavi froze as he couldn't say anything to counter the truth.
"Well… It's not like I thought of Milly in a swimsuit due to the terrible food we had yesterday and her great cooking…" Lavi muttered nervously, and Lenalee scowled as Lavi started to sweat nervously.
"You're such a pervert, Lavi…"
"Sorry…" Lavi laughed nervously as Lenalee stood up, but a sudden laugh caused the two to look over in front of them.
Poker was laughing toward them as he cracked his neck with a grin.
"You're good, but that's all you'll be seeing of that power." Poker said as he reached behind him, and calmly threw something toward Lavi and Lenalee.
The two froze as Krory hit the ground with cuts and bruises over his body.
"Krory!"
"Too bad his thoughts couldn't be beaten that easily." Poker said calmly, and Lavi quickly swung his hammer down at the Akuma.
Poker laughed his he jumped away to dodge the hammer, and Lavi gritted his teeth angrily at the Akuma.
"Damn you…"
"Ha! That's funny. I'd love to play some more, but I'm quite hungry, and Master Noah needs to know that you three are coming." Poker said as he slowly started to float backwards.
"Wait!" Lavi shouted as he raised his hammer, but missed as Poker had disappeared.
"Play again real soon, Bookman!" Poker's voice said, and was then gone as Lavi gritted his teeth angrily.
The wine swirled around in the glass as its holder leaned their head on their other hand while sitting down in a plain chair.
"So they're coming?"
"Yes, Master Noah! I played with them real good!" Poker said happily, and the person smirked calmly before taking a sip of his wine.
"Good job, Poker." He said as he looked at the Akuma while the room they were in was bathed in blood.
"I want to see their faces when they see this town's state." The person said with a chuckle, and Poker laughed happily.
"They'll be all 'Oh my God!' or 'What the hell happened here!?' Haha!" Poker said as he perfectly imitated Lavi's and Krory's voices, and the person laughed happily as he started to chuckle afterwards.
"You're so right, Poker. They'll probably do just that." The person said with another sip of their wine, and Poker grinned happily.
"What can I do now?"
"Go feed nearby, and then meet me back at our hideout."
"Understood, Master Noah!" Poker said with a chuckle, and then disappeared as the person smirked calmly.
"Come, you three. I've been killing to see you all again." He said with a grin as his black cloak gently moved around his body as he stood up.
He fixed his sleeves calmly before leaving the room with the wine glass still in his hand.
