Allen's POV

It's been two days, since me and Lenalee brought Allena back to the order, but she has not yet woken. The nurse says she just resting, but I still can not help but worry. I pull out my locket and stare at the picture inside, the chain is broken so I can't wear it around my neck. I look at the picture of us and Mana together, I miss those days I hope things will go back to normal for me and Allena. Even though we haven't seen each other for 5 years.

Allena lies in a hospital bed; I didn't realize the order had a hospital area as well. I place myself in an empty chair next to the bed. There is a vase full of red roses, I brought them in yesterday. I thought Allena would like them as they are here favourite flowers, and the room needed brightening up. I start speaking to her, even though she's sleeping, I feel like I need to speak to her.

"Hey Allena. The nurse says you'll be awake soon, isn't that great? You'll be ale to meet my new friends that I made here. You might be scared at first, but they are really friendly. Well most of them anyway, you need to be careful around Kanda, he's doesn't like me or anyone else as far as I know. Oh yea, on the day we brought you back, Lenalee and the others made a welcome home party. It was amazing I even got my own coffee mug, it would have been better if you were there."

People would probably think I'm crazy, if they see me talking to someone who is asleep. I look at her, from head to toe. She has changed so much in the past 5 years. Her red scars has changed, they are no longer scars but black tattoos. Her hair is even longer now it reaches 1/3 way down her thighs. But what makes me angry is the fact that the Earl messed with her mind. I wonder what he did to her, why did she attack me. I hope Allena will tell us some information she knows when she wakes up.

I hear my stomach growl at me. I chuckle to myself; well I guess I better get some food before I go to bed. I kiss Allena on her head and say good night before I leave.

Allena's POV the next day...

I stir where I lay; there is a numb pain all over my right side. What happened? Ah I remember, I was with Allen again. I remembered my past that I shared with Allen and Mana, and I remember attacking Allen under masters...wait no he isn't my master, the Earl he forced me to attack Allen. He did something to me as well over the last years, which resulted in me losing sight in my right eye and made it very poor in my left eye.

I wake up, but to find myself surrounded in complete darkness. Is the light turned off? No it can't be, because I can feel the heat of a candle lit beside me... It hits me like a slap, my sight it's gone! Could it be? That the poison that's been infecting my system for 5 years finally claimed left eye as its full victim? Wait what poison, something it's a start I remembered something very important that was forgotten. What made me lose my sight was a type of poison.

I can't lose my sight though! I didn't get to see Allen's face though! When we were together again the hood covered my eyes and my vision was blurred so I couldn't see him. Aaaaaahhh! Iscream, the same feeling of my head feeling like it's going to split has returned. I'm feeling like I did in the past. Where's Allen? I'm scared! Allen, I want Allen to be next to me. I want him to stay by me saying it's going to be alright.

"Allena!" I hear a boy's voice call out, its Allen's voice. He runs up next to me, hugging me. He runs his hand through my long hair, whispering in my ear telling me to calm down. And that he's here now, and I'm safe. "It's ok now Allena, you're safe again. I'm so very sorry Allena. For the past 5 years I thought you were dead, but you weren't, you were alone and unprotected for 5 years. I broke my promise, and I'm so sorry. I love you Allena, and I promise you this time, I will never leave you like that again."

I cry to his shoulder even more, gripping him harder I didn't want him to leave me again, he sit like this for 10 minutes until I finally calm down. I hear the door opening again and several people walk in. "Allen, is everything ok?" a girls voice, sounds like Lenalee.

"Yes everything is better now".

"Oh good the Allena is awake. Hello! My name is KomuI Lee, I'm in change here. It's a pleasure to meet you Allena Walker!" An over cheerful man talks to me. I don't reply to him, I just jump out from the bed and hide behind Allen. I don't trust him, don't really trust the girl. I bet a lot of people don't trust me, cause I worked for the Earl before.

"Oh! I'm really sorry Komui, Allena doesn't like meeting new people it might take a while until she speaks to you." Allen says.

"Tch, sounds like a child. Scared of little things". I flinch and take a step backwards at the cold words that were spoken about me. Strange, I'm not exactly afraid of him, I'm sort of interested in him. I wonder why does he hate me so much? "Tch, why do I have to be here anyway?".
"Kanda! Shut the hell up! You knoe why Allena act like this don't make me explain it again." Allen yells at him, Kanda must be his name.

"Hmmm...Oh yea I remember. It's because your cursed pixie sister is mentally ill and it's screwing with her brain! She can't even communicate with people properly, she has to hide behind you all the time" He laughs as he says this, it hurts me that someone would actually say this. I try to be strong, but I end up crying. Brother sees me crying, because he starts to swear at Kanda.

"You bastard! How dare you..."I cut him off, I managed to build up the courage to confront this man Kanda. I still cry as I speak though.

"K-Kanda? That's your name right? I'm really sorry if I've done something to upset you. I don't know what it is cause I've never met you before, b-but there's no need to bring A-AlLen into this. I-I-I know what you mean when you say I'm curse, its because of my arm isn't it. And I wish you wouldn't be horrible to brother, you can do what you like to me but don't hurt brother just because of my c-cursed arm and I-illness..." I hear Allen, Lenalee, Komui and Kanda gasp, and stay quiet. I don't think they expected me to say anything. Did I do something wrong? "I-I'm sorry..." I whisper, afraid that I did something wrong, I stand behind Allen again.

"Well Kanda I'm very disappointed in you, I expect you to say sorry later. Now Allena, you are well enough to stay in a room instead of here. We will let you settle in, but we will need to do some medical examination tomorrow on you. You will be staying in the same room as Kanda." Komui informs me.

"What!?" Allen and Kanda, yell together. "Why must Allena stay with Kanda!? Why can't she stay with me or Lenalee? Allen asks.

"Hey thes no need to yell. Because of an experiment I recently did, the spare rooms cease to exist. Plus this is a good chance for Kanda to show some respect towards others. I believe Kanda should start working better towards other people in a nicer attitude. So. Allena will be under his care, don't worry you'll still get to see her. My decision has been made so there's no changing it. Now lets leave the two new room mates alone. Kanda I expect you to take good care of Allena."

"Im sorry Allena, if anything goes wrong just come to me ok?"

"Don't worry brother, I still have this." I point at the locket around my neck. "No matter where we are, we will always be together."

Everyone left, leaving me alone with Kanda.

Kanda's POV

Great, just great! I am left to take care of the pixie. Ha pixie, a nickname I came up to give Allena. Well she looks like a pixie anyway, with that short dress and long hair, for the Beansprouts twin she is shorter than him and her cute face, together she looks like a pixie. Hang on a minute did I just say cute? How can I think of the Beansprouts sister as cute!?
Ignoring that, though I am annoyed about this. I was quite surprised by Allena confronting me her feeling earlier, she seems to be slightly stronger than I expected. Slightly I say, that is not much. I doubt she can survive much in a fight. I suppose I should apolagize to her, I did hurt her a lot by what I said. I turn to look at her, she is standing there facing me. Her face is slightly red, quite embarased from earlier.

"Hey, pixie. Uh sorry for what I said earlier. I didn't mean it or anything..." Uh why am I going speechless around her? I don't know what else to say.

"That's o-ok Kanda.. I guess it's true anyway." She whispers back.

"Let's go then" I start to walk, but stop when she doesn't move. Shes probably just scared, being away from her brother and all. I take her by the hand, and kneel in front of her "Pixie there's no need to worry. You're safe here, shall we go back to my room, you'll be able to get some rest then?" She nods hesitantly in reply. "Come on then, don't worry I've got you". We walk out the room, heading down the coridoor.

I got the odd look from people who saw, me holding Allena's hand. But I gave them a cold glare and they went back to their own work. "We're here.". We enter my room, pretty empty apart from my bed a desk, a chair and a set of draws for my clothes. I just realiased that my lotus flowers in its jar is still on my desk, I never let anyone see it. But Allena doesn't seem to notice it.

"There's only one bed sooooooo...we-we will have to share" I say feeling my face go red, uh how can I be embarased by this? She's 15 and I'm 18, there shouldn't be anything to be embarased about.

"A-Are you sure?"

"Y-Yea it'll be fine" I lead her over to the bed, she sits there for a couple minutes thinking to herself. She then takes her boots off, she doesn't wear socks as her right leg is wrapped in bandages and so is her left ankle. Shes been through a lot, I can see bruises and cuts all over her skin apart from her face. She climbs into the bed and shuffles to the side and faces the wall. Whispering a thank you to me.

I smile to myself, I don't know why but it made me happy. I remove my uniform, and put on a pair of trousers. I cant seem to find a shirt to put on, I just have a button up shirt but I need that for tomorrow. I bet Komui or somebody mixed up the washing again. I am left but with no other choice. Is to sleep shirtless.

This looks so bad, I climb into the bed next Allena, she's already fallen asleep. I stare at the ceiling and close my eyes...

Later during the night...

I woke up, due to hearing Allena whimpering beside me shivering. There is a storm tonight, lightning and rain. Everytime lights struck, she would flinch and her violent shaking would get worse. I'm starting to feel for the poor pixie. I turned to face her, she was now facing me. I put my arm around her, bringing her close to me. Her shivering stops after a while and doesn't whimper anymore. I feel her calm down.

She hugs me back in her sleep, not letting me go. She must think I'm her brother or something. Her face is against my chest, and she looks so peaceful and cute as she sleeps. I smile to myself, strange I feel less angry when she's around me.

I close my eyes once more...
