Sorry for the long update. It's getting harder to write the stories and it's getting harder to get on the comuter to update the story, plus my faimly is always using it. Sorry.

Chapter fourteen: kidnapped

"So the Innocence is somewhere in this forest?" Allen asked. He and Ayume were going though the forest behind the village. Ayume didn't think the Innocence was here, but a feeling deep in her gut told her to check it out.

"No, like I said, It's a low further north." Ayume answered as she quickly rushed though the forest.

"WHAT?! Then why are we doing this?" Allen asked, he was slower and not used to the terrain that the forest had, unlike Ayume, who acted like this was a walk in the park. Timcanpy was with Ayume, sitting on her head, it was apparent he liked to be in the front.

"I'm getting a weird feeling from this place, and I want to now why." Ayume said.

"I know you're want to know why." Allen said as he tried to go over a knocked over tree. "But an exorcist job is to retrieve Innocence and defeat the Earl. We can't afford to waste time." Ayume looked at him, she was standing on a very big tree root. She sighed as she looked away from him for a second.

"I guess you're right, Allen-kun. We can probably catch the next train north to get it." Ayume said as she turned around, ready to get down, even though she wanted to find out why she had her feeling.

Allen's eye activated, before he quickly activated his left arm.

"Five Akuma, coming in fast!" Allen yelled to her. She turned around to see that they were all level twos and that they were twice as fast as normal. She took out one of her fans and threw it, but they just dodged it. She took out her katana, ready to cut any of them in half. But then they surprised her, not a single one of them stopped to attack her, they just went past her and attacked Allen. She looked at them confused at first. Since when did Akuma played favorites? She thought.

"Ayume look out! There's still one more!" Allen yelled. She turned around to see a large level three look down at her, she was about to attack, but he must have been three times faster than the level twos. He picked her up by the waist and carried her away with incredible speed.

"ALLEN!" She yelled her hand reaching out to him.

"AYUME!" Allen yelled as he destroyed two other ones and tried to get to her, but three other ones got in his way. He activate level two of his arm.

"I DON'T HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH YOU!!" He shouted. as he tried to gun them down.

Ayume was still being carried by the level three. She couldn't see Allen an more, and she didn't like it.

"I hope you realize, that I won't be your helpless little captive." Ayume said as she put her hands on its chest. Her hands glowed a violently bright light when it was pushed into the Akuma's body. She smiled a smile a victory, but stopped when she realized nothing happened. She looked up to it, confused and probably scared. Why didn't it work? She thought. It laughed at her for a little while.

"Your innocence won't work on me. I absorb energy and throw in back to the user in the form on lightning." It said, and then it coursed the lightning to Ayume. She screamed out in pain, a loud agonizing scream, as she could feel the lightning kill some of the cells in her bloodstream as the lightning ran though it. Her breathing became coursed and hard when it stopped the lightning. She wanted to black out, but she refused to lose to an Akuma.

"This form of yours is much weaker than your last one, master." The Akuma said, Ayume's eyes widened, she slowly looked up to it.

"You know?" She asked. It laughed at her.

"You can change your appearance all you want, but every Akuma could sense you even if you were ten miles away. But I'm one of the ones that know why." The Akuma said. Ayume's face dropped, losing any of her reassurance and happiness. Now it was all serious and deadly.

"I see, then there's only one thing I need to do, may your soul rest in peace." Ayume said.

Again, Ayume placed her hands on its chest.

"What are you doing? If you're trying your Innocence again, it won't help." The Akuma said.

"No. I know when something's useless." Ayume said, her right eye stared to turn to a cold, harsh blue green.

"Eh?"

"CURSED FLOWERS!" Ayume yelled. It happened so fast, the Akuma didn't even have time to react, it's body started to disintegrate into bright red and dark green flower petals. It screamed in pain as it's soul was quickly released from the Akuma. Unfortunately, it happen to fast for Ayume too. For starters, it's body turned into flowers on the other side of the Akuma, by the time it hit Ayume she was sent flying. She stopped when her right shoulder was strike by a sharp broken tree branch.

She moaned in pain as she could feel her whole right arm burned in pain. She pulled her body off the branch, but only rolled over and sit against a tree. Her eyes tried to look to the sky though the trees, but it was no use. The trees were too thick. Her vision began to get blurry as it was threaten by a blood red mist. She held her should as hard as she could to stop the bleeding and the pain, but it only seemed to hurt more. She took off her exorcist uniform, to see how bad the damage was, she saw a perfect hole in her shoulder left by the branch. Her blood flowed out the wound and down her white tan top staining it red. She leaned against the tree. The last thing she saw was a tall man reach out at her.

Allen's POV

I want to find her, and I will destroy that Akuma that took her in the most painful way possible, no stop. You're letting it cloud your better judgment. I thought as I quickly ran off in the direction he last saw the Akuma carry Ayume off. I couldn't see her any where, then I ran into Tim.

"Tim!" I yelled, remembering he was last with Ayume.

"Do you know where Ayume is?" I asked Tim. He nodded his well body, in an answer yes.

"Show me." I said. I watched as Tim went on his back and opened his mouth. The image started with Ayume sent flying and injure her shoulder on a sharp branch. I bit my lip why I saw it. Her right shoulder has been pierce completely by a sharp branch, I could even see it go though her. Why that shoulder? I thought, completely horrified, as I remembered what happen the night before, and felt scared. I could only watch as she slowly got off the branch and take off her exorcist coat. Then I saw that I was right to be afraid, the marks on her right arm were glowing, but she only seemed to worry about her right shoulder. She was probably right to worry about that more. I felt my heart stop for a few seconds when a man with gray skin approached her. Noah. I thought. Rage started to build when he picked her up.

"Golem. I know your there so lets make this easier for both of us and come out." He said. The picture got a little bit bigger, probably because Timcanpy moved closer to him.

"Good, and you're recording this, yes?" He asked Tim, Ayume's blood started to fall off him. Tim nodded yes.

"Good. And you belong to someone named Allen Walker, yes?" Again Tim nodded.

"Good. Now listen Allen Walker, I'll have your little friend with me," He said as his bright green eyes look down at her with lust, I felt sick to my stomach. "At the clearing in the middle of the forest, if you cared about her at all, you'll come soon." And with that he was gone.

I clenched my fists tighter. I hate the idea of a Noah even touching Ayume, let alone holding her.

"Timcanpy." I said, the hate in my voice. "Do you know where the clearance is?" Tim nodded his body.

"Show me." I said. He began to fly off and I followed.
