Hi guys! I'm super sorry for not updating! I had been really busy. You see, I had these major exams called 'O' Levels which I had to study for and devote all my time to because my past prelims, I REALLY haven't been doing well. But now, my Os are over so I'm free! I might be posting more often/post more stories to avoid thinking about my Os. They're really important and if I don't do well…well…let's just say my mum would personally dig my grave for me...

So yeah….my results would come out in January and I pray that things would come out alright.

So let's just get on with the story yeah? :)

Happy reading! :D

Everyone turned to see that the person who spoke was Amber.

Emilia was enraged, "How dare you! You yourself are a child and yet you call another pathetic? Timothy just doesn't want to leave his home!"

Amber responded by turning to her coolly and answering calmly, "He's being selfish Mademoiselle"

"Selfish-!"

Amber cut her off, "There are monsters out there Madame. Monsters, hungry for innocence. Monsters, who would not hesitate to kill anyone that stood in their way. Do you want to take that risk? Just for Timothy? There is quite a number of other children who live here am I right? Are you willing to jeopardize their safety?"

Emilia couldn't retort thus a long pregnant silence followed since no one else had any idea what to say after that. Finally, Amber spoke again.

"It's best for Timothy and the orphanage. Timothy can learn to control his powers better and put them to good use at the Black Order. Not to mention, the orphanage would be out of harm's way. Isn't that good enough already?"

Mother Superior and Emilia looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Deciding that the two women needed to get their mind off the topic, Allen then asked the question that had been on his mind for a while now.

"How did Timothy get that ball on his forehead?"

Hearing the question, Timothy looked away, an annoyed look on his features. Whilst, the rest of Allen's team turned to the two women, their curiosity peeked. The two women sighed and told them Timothy's father who was a minor jewel thief who was chased by Inspector Galmar, Emilia's father. During one heist, the fear of getting caught was so strong that his father forced young Timothy to swallow a stolen jewel. However during a raid set up by Galmar his father was caught and imprisoned. Emilia tried to convince the inspector to adopt Timothy, but Galmar refused, feeling guilty for the commotion he made during the raid. Instead, he decided to leave Timothy in Hurst Orphanage, but not before consulting with a doctor about the jewel. It was revealed that it was impossible to remove the jewel from Timothy's forehead which made his hatred toward his father grow even more.

"The jewel must have been the innocence" concluded Marie.

"When was this?" Kanda asked.

"2 years ago" was the women's reply.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake and an explosion happened. When the smoke cleared from the blast, Amber opened her eyes to see Kanda crouching over her.

"You alright Kit?"

Amber would have yelled at him for the nickname but it wasn't the time. She accepted his hand in helping her up. When she looked up, her skin paled when she recognized the creature before her from her father's description of it.

It looked like a child-like creature with a bloated stomach. There was a black star on the Akuma's stomach and a little, closed-ring, "halo-like" oval above its head and wings on its back. Ironically making it, a childish, demonic angel.

"The Level 4 Akuma" Marie said.

With that said, Amber's eyes glowed gold and saw the remnants of the human soul in the Akuma but it was in such a grotesque state that it shocked the young girl to the core.

She couldn't help herself, Amber took a step back and threw up on the floor.

Please review!

Also, please forgive me if it is not up to my usual standard, I haven't written in a while so…yeah.

Bye bye now! :)
