CHAPTER 2

Komui called Bookman to report to Allen's room immediately after sending Kanda and Lavi out to fetch a gurney, medicine, and bandages, so they could safely transport Allen to the infirmary. This was not as easy as it seemed, for Allen was turning into a more Noah-ish shade of gray and the crosses on his forehead were becoming more defined. Everyone in the Order would freak if they knew what was occuring so they decided to keep Allen in his room for the time being. Lavi soon returned from the breif trip with the rolling bunk, several bottles of medicine, and various bandages.

"Yuu just went to fetch gramps." He stated openly. Several moments later Bookman appeared in the doorway followed by Kanda.

"Took you long enough." Lavi was sitting on a stool in the far corner of the room obviously bored, and worried for Allen. Bookman sauntered over to Allen; who had been placed on the gurney at the nearest convenience, mumbling something along the lines of 'Idiot apprentance.' When he arrived to Allen's bedside he was surprised but began to start using acupuncture, in attempt to awaken Allen from his unconscious state.

After several attempts to arouse the white haired boy everyone eventually left, for his gray eyelids slowly fluttered open revealing the blue hue of his eyes. Allen attempted to arise from his laying postion only to realise he was being restrained by something. Allen tilted his neck upwards to view the horrible thing restraining him.
