This is the 4th chapter… I hope it is good… and I'm trying to post my chapters faster… so… yeah…
If these things don't get him to sleep… he might… die… OH GOD! Road! Don't think about that! This WILL work! Road thought to herself.
"Ok, Allen… First, I'll help you into bed…"
"Ok…" the moment that Allen was lifted out of the chair he was sitting in, he fell limp in her arms.
Road decided just to pick him up and gently set him down on the bed. She brought out 3 goose down blankets and covered him with them; she made sure that she tucked in the corners.
"Ok, are we comfy?" Road asked.
Allen gave a half hearted nod, while staring at his ceiling, barely even blinking.
"I'm going to sing you a lullaby, and you're going to drink this warm milk, ok?" once again, Allen just nodded.
Road ended up having to help him drink the milk by sitting him up and opening his mouth for him.
"♫And then the boy…
Drifted off to sleep
Breathing heavily… the flames
Within the ash, one by one
Welling up, that beloved face
Thousands of dreams upon this earth
As your silver eyes tremble on
That night, a shining "you" is born
Hundreds of millions of months and years…
No matter how many prayers
Are returned to the earth
I shall continue to pray
Please, give this child I love
Joined hands, and a kiss ♫"
Allen slowly drifted off to sleep after hearing the lullaby of his father, Mana. For about ten minutes, he appeared to sleeping peacefully, dreaming of Mana. Road decided to stay, so if anything happened, she would be there to help Allen, by waking him from his deep sleep. In the back of her mind she secretly hoped that he WOULD have the nightmares… For that would mean, he would become a full Noah.
What Road began to see only made her smile in glee. Yes, he's becoming a Noah!
She watched with a smile on her face as Allen started to brake out in a cold sweat. He started to toss and turn violently in his sleep.
"NO!!! DON'T!!! I HATE YOU!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Allen shouted frantically in his sleep, his body writhing as if he was attempting to push someone away.
All of this just made Road's smile grow larger… I think… he's almost complete. She watched in delight as he began to scream.
Wait… um… I don't think this should be happening… What's up with his arm? The boy's arm began to arc, his arm was activating and deactivating. It eventually went into a state where it was only half invocated. (A/N: tis very awesome looking! He looks like the SMEX! -fan girl squeal-) If this goes on for too much longer… I might have to wake him up and stop him from becoming a Noah… It would be worse if he died than it would be if he just didn't become a Noah… CRAP!! AND I REALLY WANTED HIM TO BE A NOAH TOO!!! Well… I could wait just a little longer… maybe he'll finish the process before I have to wake him up… Allen, please hurry…
"DON'T YOU DARE!!! I WON'T GO BACK!!! YOU KILLED MANA!!! I'LL KILL YOU, YOU UNWORTHY EXORCISTS!!!" Allen's arm was still half invocated, but a row of crosses began to appear across his brow.
Allen's green glowing cross on his hand began to turn black. Wow… I didn't think anything like this would happen… Maybe this is what happens when a parasite type innocence has the Noah genes too… Road felt the urge to poke his deformed arm. Her finger loomed dangerously over his arm. When she gave his arm a light tap… he looked as if he was having a seizure, and he ended up throwing up all of his 5 course dinner… Eww… I'm never doing that again…
"DIE!! EXORCISTS!!" Allen started to attack the air.
Um… maybe I should wake him up now… I think he's done… and he's getting kind of violent… Road avoided an attack from Allen's deformed arm and gently shook him. Allen woke up, but his arm was still partly activated and there were still the crosses on his forehead.
"Are you ok?" ask Road innocently, as if she didn't already know…
"I… I don't know…" said Allen, while he cupped his regular arm over his mouth in a vain attempt to stop another puking fit.
"Lie down, Allen-kun," Road said as she pushed him gently down back into bed. "Just relax a little bit. I'm going to be just down the hall, so if you need anything, just call, ok?" she said as gently pushed back his bangs to revile the crosses… she then kissed him lightly on the forehead and left the room.
At The Black Order
Ok. Reever, get a hold of yourself… It's been a month already… Stop thinking about him already! He's dead. Gone. Never coming back. Just get on with your life! Ugh… who am I kidding… I loved that stupid supervisor… Although I never told him… he still meant the world to me… Ok, ok… j-just keep your composure… Everything is alright… you have nothing to worry about… just keep cool, it's not like he just died… I mean... he's been dead for a month there's no reason at all to be like this! Just suck it up! Reever walked into the Science Department for the first time in a month. The only differences from the last time he was here were that… Komui was dead… and he was the new Supervisor.
"Hi, Supervisor! How have you been? We haven't seen you in a whole month!" said a hyperactive Johnny.
"I-I'm fine…"
"I know this has been the hardest on you, Reever, but we all have to move on…" stated 65.
"It's ok… everything is alright… I'm fine…" said Reever, while trying to smile but could only get the ends of his mouth to twitch.
"Ok… well, we should all get to work then!" Reever clapped his hands together to get everyone to work.
At The Noahs' house
Road was worried. It had been a week since Allen had become a full Noah, but he didn't even have enough strength to get out of bed, let alone work with his Noah powers. He was barely eating and he whatever he did eat… he'd just throw back up. Allen also had such a high fever, that he was delirious…
"Allen, are we feeling any better today?" asked Road, in a very calming tone.
"Not…really…Mana… I feel really sick… maybe it was something I had when you took me camping?"
"Maybe… who knows…" Road had learned that Allen had taken to calling her by his dead father's name…
"Maybe it was that mushroom… but you had it too… so maybe not…"
"Probably not… do you feel like eating anything?"
"I do… but I'll just throw it up again… I really don't like throwing up… It feels bad…"
"Ok… do you want me to bring you some food anyway? In case you get hungry?"
"Sure…"
"Um… how's your arm feeling?"
"My a-arm?"
"Yeah, your arm…"
"Well I haven't really thought about it… But now that you mention it… it does hurt… really bad actually…"
"Ok. Well… you just get your sleep and I'll put some food by your bed if you get hungry… but right now, you need to rest."
"Ok…"
Road left the room and returned with a large plate of crackers and applesauce and about 5 minutes… By the time she came back… Allen was… GONE!!! OH CRAP!!! He's probably clasped somewhere in the house and can't get up… I have to find him!!!
Road searched and searched, but to no avail… She couldn't find even the slightest hint that Allen was ever anywhere besides his room.
"Have you seen Allen anywhere?" out of breath, Road asked Tyki.
"No… I can't say I have… WAIT! How come he's not with you or in his bed? He should be resting…"
"I don't know! I just left the room for a second to get some food for him and when I came back… HE WAS GONE!!!"
"Well… he's probably just passed out in the hallway… he shouldn't be too hard to find… And if you still can't find him… well… come to me and I'll help you…" Tyki sighed and went back to reading his book.
.:Allen's PoV:.
Ugh… what am I doing here? Allen awoke to find himself in a small town surrounded by people. Allen started to back away…
"Wait, sonny… we're not going to hurt you… we just want to help you… you walked over here and the next thing we new… you were passed out…" said a gentle looking old man.
"I-I'm fine… T-thanks for asking… I don't know how I got here though…"
"Don't you remember? You were the one who walked over here in the first place…"
"I really don't remember…"
"Well… um… is your arm ok? I mean it's all red… and it looks like there's glass stuck in it…" the kind man leaned over to his hand and gently pet it. But the moment he touched Allen's hand… Allen started to scream…
Allen's arm began to change… His fingers became large sharp claws… and his cross turned a glowing black… His forehead also changed, a row of crosses appeared… Allen lunged at the people in the crowd and started to claw at them… The first one to fall was the old man, and Allen just licked the sweet, sweet blood from his claws. Everyone started to scream and run, but this just made Allen's heart pump that much faster. Now that he had tasted blood… he couldn't have enough…
