Chapter 3: Marionette appears Pt 1
Krory helped the figure, known by the townspeople as 'Masked Marionette' because of a legend, stands up. The figure stared at the two strangers, who had powers like her, before asking, "What do you want from me?"
"Firstly, could you deactivate your ability?" Krory asked, slightly surprised she could speak English.
"I don't trust you…First, answer these questions…Who are you, why didn't you run away like the other people, why are you here and what do you want?" the white figure asked.
"I'm Arystar Krory the Third," The vampire-like Exorcist introduced, then pointing at the samurai, "And he's Kanda."
"Kanda what?" the white figure asked.
"I think it'll be best if you didn't know," Krory said seriously.
"Very well, then…answer the second question."
"We are able to destroy those monsters as well," Krory answered simply and calmly.
"Okay…Next question."
"We're here to search for Innocence that is suspected in this town and to answer your fourth question we think you maybe the holder of the Innocence," Krory explained.
"Okay, now answer this: What is 'Innocence' and what does it do."
Krory then began explaining about the Black Order, Innocence, what it can do and the war against the Millennium Earl.
"For some reason, I trust you," the figure said, then adding, "But not completely yet…Fine, I'll deactivate my, what you call, 'Innocence'."
And the white cloth wrapping around the figure disappeared almost instantly, revealing a girl with olive green eyes, two cross on her bare shoulders and pale blue hair, so pale a little bit whiter and it'll become like Allen's white hair in Krory's opinion.

In Valencia, Allen sneezed. "You're not getting a cold, are you, Allen?" Timothy asked. "I don't think so," the white-haired British replied, and continued walking through the town he was in.

"I suppose I should tell you my name, right?" the girl asked sheepishly, and the two Exorcists nodded, "My name is Amulet, Amulet Vasp."
Amulet looked at the darkening sky, and then her pocket watch. "I'd better go, you wanna come?"
"Sure," Krory stated and Kanda just 'che'd but followed. They walked through the now busy streets of the town and by the time they stopped in front of a small building, the sky was black.
"Mila-chan! I'm back!" the girl shouted as she entered the house, and almost instantly, a girl with green hair appeared and glomped the other girl, causing both girls to end up on the ground.
"Amu-chan! Were you out fighting those monsters again?" Mila asked.
"Yes," Amulet answered very simply, as she tried to get off the floor, and that led to the other girl pouting.
"Why do you keep fighting those things? They are dangerous," the green-haired girl asked, standing up and dusting the dirt of her clothes, then finally noticing the two other presences in the room, "Who're they?"
"Hm…These two are Exorcists from some organization called the Black Order, they have the same powers as me, well…not exactly, but they can destroy those monsters too. Their names are Krory and Kanda, Mila. Krory and Kanda, this is Mila, my foster sister," the light blue-haired girl explained and introduced. Krory greeted the other girl and Kanda just scoffed.
"Really! Then, will they stay here so that you don't have to fight with those things again?" Mila asked excitedly.
"No, we here to bring her back to become an Exorcist," Kanda answered, very sternly, and it took the two girls by surprise.
"You can't do that!" the two girls shouted in unison, getting over their shock.
"I'll drag you back if I have to, girl!" Kanda yelled, Krory was slowly inching away from the samurai, and then added, "Besides, do you want to endanger everyone in this town?"
"What?" Amulet asked, surprised by that question, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the Innocence on your shoulders is what's attracting those Akumas to this place. The longer you stay here the more you're endangering this town. Understand?" Kanda said.
"I-I don't believe you," the young girl countered.
"When did you first find out about and activated your ability?" Kanda asked, his eyes narrowing.
"About a month ago," Amulet answered.
"And when was the first time those Akumas show up?"
"A…month ago," she replied reluctantly, "But that can be a coincidence."
"We'll see, girl, we'll see," Kanda muttered, and then he turned to look outside. Krory then approached the two girls.
"Don't mind him, he always like this," Krory explained, smiling very politely, "Um…I'm sorry to ask this but can we stay here tonight? It's a bit late to find somewhere else to stay."
"Huh? Oh, sure! My parents are out of town, so yeah you can stay," Mila replied, still uneasy of the info about those monsters coming here because of her adopted sister.
"Where's your parent, Amulet?" Krory asked.
"My…biological parents died…in an accident," the pale blue-haired girl said, looking down at her shoes, her pale hair covering her eyes.
"Then my parents adopted her since they knew her parents very well," Mila said.
"…I'm sorry…I didn't mean to…" the vampire-like man trailed off.
"It's okay," Amulet replied, now looking up and smiling. "Why don't you guys make yourself comfortable in the guest room," the other girl said, then giving the directions to the said room. Krory thanked her and both Exorcists went to the rooms.
"Mila-chan, are you okay? You seem to be acting weird," Amulet asked, worried.
"I'm okay, just thinking about some things," the green-haired girl paused, then continued, "Do you believe any of the things they said?"
"I don't know, it just seems so confusing now," Amulet said clutching her head. She really didn't know what to believe anymore. Only a month ago, she was just a normal girl, then suddenly strange things happened, and that long-haired man just told her she was the cause of the monsters appearing. Then, a comforting hand was placed on her shoulder, and the green-eyed girl snapped her head up to see the person, which was her green-haired foster sister, with a warm smile on her face.
"Don't worry so much, you'll figure it out," Mila comforted, "Now how about you get our guest here for something to eat? They must be starving."
Amulet smiled and made her way towards the guest room. She was about three quarter the distance away from the room when she heard a rumbling sound. The girl walked faster and opened the door as soon as she reached it. What she saw was quite comical.
A very pale looking vampire-like man was lying on one of the two beds in the room; half dead, in an eagle-spread position, and the rumbling sound coming from his stomach. The one with the long hair looked like he was meditating on the floor and Amulet saw a vein throbbing on his forehead. She didn't know how the raven-haired man got so irritated in such a short amount of time. Apparently, he heard her open the door as he had his eyes opened slightly.
"What?" he asked.
"Um…dinner's going to be ready soon, so you might want to come out now," the girl said and she left, but heard the long-haired one 'tch'ed. When she arrived, the girl realized that her foster sister had already finished cooking, and from the corner of her eyes she saw the two males approaching.
After a very speedy dinner thanks to Amulet and the vampire-like man, they all retired into their quarters, but none of them, except Krory, had any sleep at all.
I think this is not as good as my previous chapters, but I'm not sure so please review to let me know.
