Chapter: 21
Who was he? Is he really this so called "Allen". Or is he someone else? Was the life he was living really his own? Or was it some way for a twisted person to pass their time? His mind was in the dark and his true self was tied away with heavy chains and pad locks, far away from his reach. He felt as if he himself was nothing but a broken puzzle that was given to a toddler to play with. He was slowly loosing his grip on what he had left to believe of reality. Slowly sinking deeper into the dark abyss of oblivion.

"Allen. You are Allen Walker. My Nephew and son of Mana Walker. The Noah's are as close to family as you're going to get. You are the fourteenth Noah and the whole story about Noah's and exorcists Road told you is true. You just have amnesia, this is normal you won't remember certain things. Now come on, you're fine, don't start doubting yourself or else you will loose yourself completely." Tyki said in a rush shaking Allen's shoulders while staring into unresponsive eyes.
"LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO HIM!" Road screeched in anguish. She grabbed a hook off of the table nearby, that was littered with many weapons, and slammed it deep into his shoulder and strung him up by it. "You're going to pay." She said in a monstrous voice. Kanda let out a cry of pain as Road ripped him downwards, effectively yet extremely painfully extracting the hook from his shoulder. Blood poured from the gruesome wound in gallons, if he didn't have regenerative powers he'd be dead by now.
"Don't kill him off so easily. We need to make him suffer." Tyki growled in the corner. He was busy supervising Neah who was laying Allen carefully on a bed near by. Though resting wasn't what the bed was used for, given by the tell-tale signs of blood stains on the wood, but it was the best they could do at the moment.
"Don't worry. He won't die so soon. I won't allow it." She slashed a dagger across his bare chest and quickly poured salt and mashed it into the wound.
Surprisingly a laugh was what she got in response, "The fact you're reacting like this means that he's finally broke. It won't take much in order to set his mentality straight. You loose." Kanda chuckled out past blood stained lips that were curved into a twisted smirk.
"SHUT UP!" a knife peeled the flesh away from the muscle which was left exposed. Four candles impaled each hand and foot as well as a few Tease had bitten chunks off of various places on their prisoner's body. Tyki waked over and smashed Kanda's head into the cement wall behind him leaving a good sized crater behind. The duo would have continued if it weren't for a low groan coming from the table behind them.
"Nngh, g-guys? W-what are we doing here?" Allen asked, slowly sitting up while rubbing his white locks.
"Allen…are you…alright?" Road asked, hesitantly approaching him.
Cocking his head to the side in confusion Allen turned to face her, "Am I alright? Why wouldn't I be? Don't tell me that I lost more time again? How many memories did I lose this time?!" Allen began to panic again, extremely fearing loosing what little memories he had left.
"No. You didn't lose anything. You just uh, needed to sleep for a bit. That's all." Road said in an uncertain tone of voice, which went unnoticed by the silverette.
"Aww, you started without me." he whined, hoping off of the wooden torture table. The three other Noah's watched in dumbstruck as the silverette inspected the work of the youngest. The three looked at each other with confused gazes which ended with the three simultaneously shrugging their shoulders.
"Well you can finish him off now right?" Tyki asked trying to make amends. Allen eyed the wounds more closely and thoughtfully rubbed at his chin before taking a delicate looking knife. With steady pale hands he slowly peeled back the samurai's muscle on his forearm, layer by layer.
"Damn you Moyashi!" Kanda growled out past the pain shooting through his arm. "Don't you remember your time in the order? How you had to deal with each and every one of those damned Komlins? There are some things that a person just doesn't forget!" he yelled out, a cold sweat broke out across his brow as the silverette pulled the last layer of muscle away from the bone, leaving said thing exposed to the open air.
"So that's what bone really looks like while inside a person's body!" Allen said in wonder, dabbing at the wound with a cloth to keep the blood under a some-what controllable level. The feeling of rough fibers running across his open bone brought a completely new level of pain to the samurai's senses, tearing an anguished scream from him that was muffled by his firmly pressed lips.
The Noah's all crowded around the open wound to see the muscle itself quickly stitch itself together. Layer by layer being replaced until it finally became the surface skin, leaving no indications of the tortures that had occurred at the sight.
"That was so cool~! I wish I paid attention to his other wounds!" Road squealed, poking at the newly healed patch of flesh. "Hey get the twins in here!" she exclaimed randomly. Without waiting for anyone's answer she skipped out the door. Several thumps and curses could be heard followed by shots being fired and whimpering, all ending in duo terrified screams which eventually died out into eeriness. The three Noah males in the room stared at the door which blocked their view of what was happening. After a good five silent minutes passed the wooden door creaked open and in walked Road. Jasdero and David were dragged in behind her as if they were a stubborn puppy on a leash, they were tied up heavily with ropes and gagged, both wearing pitiful expressions.
"Road, lero! Put me down, lero!" the shockingly pink umbrella was hollering as the Noah of Dreams twirled him by the handle effectively ignoring him.
"Now you two, you're going to do as I say right? Unless you want to have another 'conversation'~!" the threat was clear. It was a do-what-I-say-or-die type of situation. To muffled moans later and the twins were untied.
"You're so cruel, but we won't be the ones to shoot down this kind of opportunity~!" "Cruel, Cruel!" David said shortly followed by his twin. After a good minute of interesting stretches the duo got to work.
"What are you going to do? Bore me to death?" Kanda scoffed, he had survived against Lavi of all people, these two were a walk in the park compared to him. Especially since he could kill these idiots and not have to deal with the consequences, in fact he was sure he'd get a bonus if the two were six feet under.
With a pair of mischievous glints two guns ascended into the sky, "Red bomb!" a big fire ball was on a crash course with the bound samurai. Though he would deny this if ever asked, Kanda shut his eyes to steel his nerves and get ready for the pain. Though it never came. A large black hammer had taken out the fire ball, saving the samurai from the inevitable injuries he would have sustained.
"I thought you tied him up good! And why did you leave his innocence with him!?" Allen exclaimed gesturing at a now conscious Lavi in the next cell over.
"Sorry, couldn't let Yu get pranked by anyone other than me~!" Lavi sung out despite his injuries he obtained earlier from fighting against them. "What he was saying earlier is true by the way, Allen." this caught said silverette's attention.
Despite the other's protests he moved closer to the bars. "What do you mean by that?" he asked once he was within a hair's breath from the cold metal.
"You used to be the greatest exorcist the Black Order had short of a general. You were also kind hearted and not only cared for humanity but the souls that were trapped in akumas as well. That's why you decided to get your innocence back no matter what; now its form is Crown Clown. You also eat a lot, and until now I still don't know where you put it all." Lavi laughed out as if this whole thing were a game to him.
"Hahah." Allen drawled. "Very funny, horrible attempt at a lie by the way. Oh well, don't worry, once we're done with the samurai you're next." The teen dragged a single finger across his pale neck, a vicious grin proudly displayed above it.
"Oh, it wasn't a lie. But since you don't believe me all I have is one word to say to you." Lavi said quickly, Road stalked towards him, ready to send him back into the world of unconsciousness.
"And that would be?" Allen turned around only to see Road swiftly hitting the red-head at the base of his neck and his body slowly slumping to the ground.
Only one word was managed to squeeze its way past the rabbit's lips. One word that would undo everything. Just one word.
"Mana."
