Pairings: Tyki x FemAllen, Liang x FemAllen (one-sided)
***** ~ Ellen's Pov ~ ******
Allen coughed, her stomach twisting on her once again a second later. The young woman leaned back over the arm rest of the couch and quickly lost the little food that she had managed to keep down from earlier.
Her trembling hands gripped the dark colored couch, the rest of her body shaking as the young woman was once again sick. A concerned hand rested on her lower back and the other helping to hold back her shoulder length white hair.
Allen - Ellen coughed and leaned back, her silver eyes closing as she focused on just breathing...
The hand that had been helping Ellen with her hair brushed it back and away from her pale face, then slid up and came to rest against her forehead. Ellen turned her silver eyes onto the man sitting on the couch next to her.
Tyki Mikk was frowning in concern at her, his gold eyes narrowing when the Noah took note that she didn't feel feverish. Though this only seemed to make the concern in his sharp golden eyes deepen. "How long have you been sick like this?" He asked, the tone of his voice demanding an answer from her.
Ellen forced a soft reassuring smile onto her pink lips, this only earning her an even deeper frown from her fiancé…
The young woman blushed more and shook her head. Ellen had then been overtaken with a wave of dizziness and nausea just a few moments ago, Ellen had barely anytime to find the waste bucket that had been sitting at the side of the couch…
To say that the young white haired Exorcist was mortified with herself would have been an understatement. Though it really wasn't her fault that her stomach had decided to twist on her like it had…
The young woman sighed at the look on the Noah of Pleasure's face and thought about just how long she had been feeling sick. The young woman frowned softly and bit her lower lip. Her silver eyes fluttering to look around the room, trying to avoid seeing that look on Tyki's face.
The man looked truly concerned for her, almost bordering on fear for her well being. Her hands moved to fiddle with the skirt of her ball gown, her uncertain silver eyes barely meeting Tyki's narrowing gold. "How long have you been getting sick for Allen-?" the man than shook his head and offered her a concerned smile. "Ellen." He corrected himself.
The white haired Exorcist smiled but then frowned, her soft pink lips twisting down just slightly at the corners. She had been getting sick for at least a few months, but she didn't want to worry Tyki about it. Though now that she was thinking about it, her little bouts of sickness were happening more and more…
"When was the last time that you could keep anything down?" The Noah of Pleasure's voice cut though the young woman's thoughts. Her silver eyes narrowing. It had been a few days ago, a few days ago since she had been able to keep anything within her stomach.
Concerned hands took a hard hold of her thin bare shoulders. The Noah turning her to face him, his gold eyes flashing sharply at her, his gray lips twisted into a deep upset frown. "Ellen," Tyki hissed out, that look within his eyes growing. "When was the last time you ate and weren't sick after?"
Ellen smiled softly at the handsome man holding her by her shoulders. Her silver eyes soft as her right hand rose to touch his dark gray face. That heat sparking long her finger tips and threading down her arm. "Tyki, its fine-"
"Don't tell me that its fine." Tyki spoke in a voice lined with his concerned anger. The Noah pulled her closer, up against his chest, tucking her head under his chin. Ellen wanted to smile at how worried he was for her, but he was right…
Crown Clown was weak, her body feeling drained. She was a Parasitic Accommodator, if she couldn't get food into her body then her Innocence wouldn't have any fuel to function. If her Innocence didn't have anything other then her body's energy to sustain itself…
"I'm just worried." The Noah of Pleasure said in a defeated tone. His hands running over her body in soft caresses, the man touching her like she was frail and was going to break. The young white haired woman frowned, her silver eyes narrowing as she pushed herself from the Noah's arms. Her eyes looking at his frowning and worried face.
Her silver eyes slid up to his forehead, her left hand raising and brushing back his long dark purple hair to get a better look. Her full pink lips parting in curiosity as her fingers moved to brush against one of the black stigmata crosses on his brow.
Stigmata….
All the Noah had them. Her father had them.
Her right hand also rose and her pale fingers looked so much more paler against the dark shade of gray that was Tyki's skin. Her silver eyes soft and taking note that the crosses looked like black scars…
"Did it hurt?" Ellen asked, her voice soft and barely above a whisper. Her silver eyes fluttering down to look into her fiancé's burning gaze. That was something else that she had always found fascinating. The color of Tyki's eyes. The color of his eyes were a deep yet sharp, almost glowing, gold…
The Noah of Pleasure frowned, obviously not happy about the subject change. His golden eyes flashing and his lips slid into a small smile at her curiosity after only a short moment. The man made no move to stop her fingers from touching him. "It didn't really hurt per say, but the headaches before I awoke did."
"Before you awoke?" The white haired Exorcist asked, the words ghosting out from her pink lips, her eyes moving to look back at the black crosses. Tyki nodded his head, the motion just a small movement.
Ellen's heart twisted in her chest. Her silver eyes staying focused on Tyki's stigmata. The Noah, they all had the black crosses and dark gray skin, they all had those cutting golden eyes…
The young woman's mind drifting back to something that she had thought about earlier. That her father was Noah, that Ellen didn't know all that much about her father… but Tyki might, because he was Noah also…
Did Tyki know that she was… That the Fourteenth was her…?
"The Fourteenth…" Ellen forced out, her heart aching and yearning to know more about the man that had left her when she had been an infant. Though Ellen had gotten the feeling that Neah wouldn't have just abandoned her, even if she had been born with Innocence…
Because in that hour that she had to talk with the man, the first thing out of his mouth had been an apology. That the Fourteenth Noah had been sorry for not being there for her as she grew. That he wished that things had turned out differently…
If he was so sorry, then why did he leave her…? What happened to her mother? What had been so important that Neah had to betray the other Noah and get himself killed…?
Tyki's gold eyes narrowed just a fraction. His mouth twisting into a deep frown, the Noah of Pleasure obviously confused to why she was asking about the rogue Noah. "The Musician? Wha-"
The door on the other side of the room clicked and Ellen jumped and leaned a little closer to the Noah of Pleasure on the couch. Tyki frowned darkly when the door then creaked open. His brothers voice calling his name sweetly from the open part of the door.
But then it was thrown open as Road came barreling into the room. The Minister having to take a few uneven steps within the room to keep himself from falling flat on his face. The twelve year old bouncing up to Ellen and threw her thin arms around her neck. Ellen's silver eyes widened and the young woman didn't know what to do about having the young Noah hanging off her. Ellen's silver eyes turning to look at Tyki for help.
"That's enough Road." Tyki said in a cold voice, his tone lined with his displeasure over the whole being locked within a room against his will. The Noah of Dreams giggled, but pulled away from the confused and unconvertible Exorcist.
The younger looking Noah skipped back the man standing at the door, her purple eyes flashing wickedly as she watched the Noah of Pleasure help Ellen to her feet. The white haired Exorcist blinked as that wickedly amused smile slid wider on the child's face. "You know," Road started in a sweet purr, "I thought that getting laid would have put you into a better mood Tyki!~"
Ellen could feel her cheeks heat to a deep mortified red, her silver eyes widening and her hands covering her madly blushing face in embarrassed shame. The young woman could hear Tyki growl out a warning to the twelve year old, but Road only giggled in return.
There was a amused chuckle from the door and Ellen allowed herself to lower her hands. Tyki's brother was smiling just as wide as Road. The man then took a few long steps forward and pulled her into a hug. Ellen's cheeks once again heating as the man gushed about being happy that everything had been worked out and that Tyki and her had made up…
Though the hug only lasted for a few short seconds. Sheryl pausing and pulling back from her and fixed Tyki with a wolfishly sly smile, to which the Noah of Pleasure promptly fixed his older brother with a very dark glare.
Though Ellen noted that this seemed to do very little to detour the man. "You might want to clean up some before you come back to the ball, little brother." Sheryl said in a some what serious voice.
Ellen blinked and the Minister simply offered her a very wide smile before speaking again. "You both smell like sex."
That-That pervert!
Thwack!
The young white haired Exorcist's silver eyes narrowed, her body shacking in her mortified rage. Really, Ellen should be feeling anything but anger at the moment. She was only one Exorcist and in the company of not one, but three Noah.
The Noah being as powerful or more so then a level four, not to mention that a Noah could destroy Innocence with simply a touch. Truly the last thought on Ellen's mind should be beating the crap out of the poor Minister that was currently doubled over and holding his stomach in pain.
The young woman's emotions were nothing but a mess at the moment and that only seemed to fuel her rage even more.
Ellen really hoped it hurt, because the young woman could feel her face burning with embarrassment…
Tyki's gold eyes blinked, his mouth set in a disbelieving gape. Road stood next to the Noah of Pleasure with a happy little grin on her face. The Noah of Dreams taking some kind of perverse pleasure in it all.
Ellen shook as the larger man still standing before her creaked open a dark brown eye and rubbed at where the petite Exorcist had hit him sorely, though Tyki's brother didn't attempt to straighten himself. "Damn that hurt… did you have to hit me with the left?" the man coughed, his eyes daring to chance a glance at his brother for help.
Ellen pursed her lips and turned her flashing silver eyes on the Noah of Pleasure. Said Noah chuckled nervously at her dark glare.
Ellen's lips twisted into a frown, her silver eyes once again turning on her fiancé's older brother. The young woman once again coming to the conclusion that all Noah must be perverts, stalkers and just down right insane…
And she was actually related to one… what joy…
****** ~ Mother Matron of the Black Order HQ Infirmary ~ *******
She didn't like this, not at all, but the Head Inspector had made it an order. The old woman frowned and watched as the Exorcist Krory lay in his bed, a young blond haired nurse taking yet another vile of blood.
The Matron turned her eyes to Reever and the Head Inspector. The man from central had this dark look on her face, this evil and deep dark look within his eyes. The worse part about it, the part that the old Matron didn't understand was why he was helping the Inspector…
Liang Lee stood next to the Head Inspector, his empty looking purple eyes fixed on the fifth vile of blood that the nurse had taken from the Vampire like Exorcist. The old woman didn't miss that twist at the corners of the young mans lips. Liang's purple eyes flashing oddly as the young nurse turned and handed the red vials to Reever.
Inspector Leverier smiled and turned to face the scientist. The man having a very pleased and smug look on his face. His dark eyes flashing with something that the old Matron never wanted to see again. "How long will it take to make a usable weapon?" Leverier asked.
The Scientist frowned and glanced at the young green haired Exorcist, the Matron seeing the confusion in the man's blue eyes over the fact that the younger Lee was even in the same room as the Inspector.
Seeing that look in the Division Director's eyes only served to make the head nurse worry even more. "A few day's maybe…" He answered in a unsure voice, his eyes turning to meet her own eyes.
The old Matron Nurse didn't like it, any of it, but the old woman resigned herself to the fact that they were at war…
The old woman turning her eyes to look back at Krory. Her first and only task was to insure the well being of the Exorcists and those of the Black Order. Though that didn't mean that the old woman couldn't use her ears and at lease listen…
"I am glad that you came to me with this Liang." Inspector Leverier started, his dark eyes turning to the young man standing next to him. "None of the others that were present on the Ark seemed to find it worth mentioning…"
The young green haired Exorcist's lips twitched again, the Matron watching and listening as she made it look like she was busying herself with medical charts. The young man smiled, but what really made the old woman worry was that flash within the younger Lee's eyes…
"That when Krory bit the Noah in the Library, his Innocence had a negative affect on it? I'm surprised, I thought that kind of information would be very useful." Liang said in a bland tone, the old woman fought to not shudder at the coldness in his voice, or the coldness in his dark empty purple eyes…
That was the last of the conversation that the old Matron could hear as the small group left the infirmary. The old woman sighed and put the papers that she had been fiddling with down.
Making a weapon that could be injected into a target? Using Krory's blood, that had particles of Innocence within it, to make such a weapon…
It just seemed wrong, but then if it helped to save humanity…
***** ~ Tyki's Pov ~ **** ~ One day after the Ball ~ ****
Tyki frowned as he entered the large dark room. Phones of a dark gold lay scattered all over the white and black checkered floor. Every phone had a number and the Noah of Pleasure only gave them a passing glance as he walked down the small path that would lead him to the one he was there to talk to.
The Millennium Earl, Adam, The First and Patriarch of the Clan of Noah, sat in a old wooden rocking chair. A phone receiver pressed to his ear as he nodded his head in to whatever the one on the other end of the line was saying, humming in agreement.
Tyki stopped and waited patently for the Earl to finish with his phone call. No doubt one of the Earl's Brokers just phoning in a possible victim that could be turned into an Akuma.
His lips pulled into a deeper frown.
Akuma, were born from human souls. A human would call to the soul of their dead loved one and the Earl would bind the soul to an Akuma skeleton. The human would then be killed by the one they had called back from the dead. The newborn Akuma would then wear the skin of the human that had made them, so once again the Akuma could have human from…
Tyki's heart ached with the thought that one of those phone must have rang, when Ellen had lost her 'loved one'. The one that she had turned into an Akuma…
A picture of that grave yard and the grave stone that the young woman had been leaning against flashed within his mind.
Mana Walker…
That name was fimiliar somehow…
And then with Ellen asking about the Fourteenth…
There was something that he was not being told. There was a connection between Ellen and the Clan of Noah, because she had somehow known that song and now was asking about the Fourteenth Noah…
Not to mention that she had been able to control Noah's Ark. Tyki had his own ideas on how that was possible, but…
It took the Third Child a moment to realize that the Earl was now smiling at him. The Phone that he had been on back to were it belonged. The Makers gold eyes flashing in curiosity and Tyki frowned even deeper.
How long had he been just standing there, frowning and lost in thought?
The Earl chuckled and turned back to his knitting. His smile widening. "Your face will stick that way if you keep frowning like that Tyki-pon." The Earl chuckled lightly, tilting his head to the side as he looked at his lopsided stocking that he was trying to knit.
Tyki huffed in irritation at the pet name that the First insisted on calling him. He pushed his hands into his pockets and sighed heavily, but the Third thought better then to correct the oldest of the Noah. He had other things he needed to talk to him about…
"I was wanting to ask you about Innocence." The Third asked evenly. The Third had never asked about Innocence before and Tyki knew very little about it. He never had the need to know beyond how to destroy it…
…But now with Ellen becoming sick, he needed to learn, because the Third Child of Noah had this feeling that her Innocence might have something to do with ellen's sickness. If that was true, then there was only one person that the Noah of Pleasure could turn to for help in fixing it.
He remembered that a Parasitic Innocence used its hosts energy…
The Noah of Pleasure was afraid, because he had finally won Ellen's heart completely, but now she was sick and he was filled with this… this cold fear of losing her, losing his Ellen like how Sheryl would eventually lose Tricia…
Tyki wasn't sure if he could survive that kind of loss. His very being twisted and raged at the thought. At how powerless he felt, that there wasn't anything he could do beyond taking Ellen's Innocence from her again, and that would only make her hate him…
He didn't know how his brother dealt with the knowledge that his beloved wife would only grow sicker until she finally died. Though Tyki wouldn't let it come to that with Ellen. Even if she hated him for the rest of her life, Tyki would rather have her alive then dead.
If it came down to it…
The Third would ask about Innocence, then he would ask his other questions. Questions that were taboo amoung the Noah, because it was a very well known fact that asking anything about the Fourteenth Noah was off limits...
The Maker paused for just a second before he returned back to his knitting. His gold eyes narrowing, but the Maker didn't turn to look at the Noah of Pleasure. "Why so curious Tyki-pon?~" the Earl sang, his voice still light and happy sounding, but Tyki had caught that pause, Adam chuckled before speaking again. "Would this have anything to do with Allen Walker?"
"You told me once that Parasitic Innocence had a draw back to its power." Tyki again made sure to speak in a normal and even tone, but his heart was beating hard in his chest. The Thirds lips twisting into a frown. "Its Ellen Walker." Tyki corrected the Millennium Earl as an after thought. "Ellen has been… sick…."
The Earl stopped knitting and stopped rocking this time. His gold eyes narrowing a little to far. His ever present smile twisting at the corners. He tilted his head and then his smile pulled even wider then before. Intrigued and hard gold eyes finally turned to look at the Third Child.
"So she's going by Ellen Walker now is she? That's great news!~" Tyki frowned deeper and fixed the Earl with a displeased look over the fact that the he didn't seem to concerned about Ellen being sick. Not to mention that the Third wasn't sure what to make of the Earl's happiness over Allen changing her name to Ellen…
"And you say that she has been sick?~" He chuckled with an odd amusement, his tone also heavy in thought. The Maker chuckled lowly and then turned back to look at his knitting. "What kind of sick?"
Tyki sighed and turned his gold eyes to the right. His eyes narrowing and his heart felt heavy, but before he could speak the Earl continued. "Nausea correct?" the First said in a sly and amused voice. "Jasdevi had mentioned something about her after they recovered some from their Innocence poisoning. Something very interesting in fact, they said they saw a very special kind of bond within her..."
Tyki blinked and narrowed his eyes at the older Noah. His patience wearing a little thin when the Earl seemed to be more concerned with the sock that he was attempting to knit then with answering Tyki's questions, though now that Tyki was looking at it, the sock looked a little small…
"Earl-?" He started, before letting lose another heavy sigh, the Noah of Pleasure realizing that the First wasn't going to speak again as long as he was distracted with his little project.
"How is Sheryl doing by the way? Still nursing that black eye and bruised ribs?" Adam asked as he once again started to knit. Tyki sighed again and then fought down the need to chuckle at his brothers little miss fortune. …
"Tricia is fussing over him as we speak, and you know Sheryl…" Tyki said in an amused tone, his gold eyes looking at one of the gold phones as it started to ring. The Noah of Pleasure was surprised when the Earl didn't make any move to answer it. "He's enjoying all the extra attention..."
The Millennium Earl chuckled happily, before once again putting down his knitting with a thoughtful look in his flashing gold eyes. "Tell me Tyki-pon, what do you think about children?"
Tyki blinked in confusion. His gold eyes narrowing just a fraction, what in the world would make the Earl ask him such a question? And just out of the blue like that…
What did that have to do with anything that they had been talking about?
Tyki fought not to let his frown deepen, the Noah of Pleasure ran a hand through his long dark purple hair. The Third Child of Noah once again feeling like he was being purposely kept out of the loop. It was irritating, frustrating and all that he wanted was a straight answer-
"Do you think the baby will be a boy or girl?" The Earl asked off handedly. His head tilting to the side as he once again looked at his little yellow sock that he was trying to make with a critical eye.
Tyki blinked slowly, completely dumfounded and lost. "Wait- What baby?" The Third Child asked just as slowly, his mouth twisting into a confused frown, the man feeling a headache coming on all of the sudden when the Earl once again paused and turned his eyes onto the confused Noah of Pleasure. His ecstatic smile wide and his gold eyes flashing with true amusement. It was like the Maker was laughing at him…
"Why, yours and Ellen's baby!~" Adam sang out in a joy filled voice, like the Third was being unnaturally slow in catching on and the oldest of the Clan was finding his slowness to be the funniest thing in the world.
Tyki blinked once, before everything clicked together in one giant moment of clarity. Then the Third Child of Noah found himself taking a heavy seat on the floor, his gold eyes wide but unseeing. The one phone started to ring again and the Earl chuckled in amusement, the First finally moving to answer it.
"You just take your time Tyki-pon, let it all sink in and we can talk more when I'm finish with this phone call.~"
Tyki Mikk decided that sitting was no longer good enough and flopped onto his back.
***** ~ Ellen's Pov ~ ******
It had been three days.
Three days since the ball…
The young woman chewed on her lower lip, her silver eyes narrowed and glaring at her reflection. Allen frowned deeper, her deep silver eyes flashing as the young Exorcist huffed and threw the offending 'items' across her room in a fit of anger.
The young woman shook her head and took a heavy seat on her bed, her silver eyes still glaring hateful fire at the pile of black and red cloughs…
…It was ridicules, Johnny must of gotten her measurements wrong!
Because Ellen Walker didn't gain weight. She never had to worry about such things, being a Parasitic Accommodator and all. No, Ellen had to be careful to not loose any weight.
This uniform as supposed to be the same size as her ball gown! The gown that she had just worn three days ago!
She was an Exorcist… Who didn't fit into her new Exorcist uniform.
Ellen took a deep breath and forced herself to relax, because the young woman shouldn't be getting worked up over something so simple. All that Ellen really needed to do was take it back to the science division and ask Johnny to check her measurements and make adjustments.
The young woman huffed again and pushed herself to her feet. Ellen picked up her uniform and paused. Her lips twisting into a grim frown when her stomach jumped and twisted, picking up her Exorcist uniform now forgotten in favor of running into the bathroom.
Ellen gagged and emptied her stomach, once her normal routine of being sick was finished, the young woman washed out her mouth and exited the bathroom slowly.
Her room twisted and spun two steps in and Ellen's left hand reached out to steady herself on the door frame. The white haired Exorcist once again frowned at her sudden dizziness, before she was quickly overtaken by a sharp pain in her abdomen. Though the pain came and then was gone, Ellen blinked and her dizziness was also gone...
Ellen once again shook her head and gathered her black and red uniform, the young woman folding it and then pushing herself to her tired feet. Maybe she really should listen to Tyki and have herself looked at by a nurse. Though first she had to get her uniform fixed…
It was a short trip down to the Science Department, the young woman would find the young man that she was looking for here...
The young white haired Exorcist pushed open the doors to the Science Department and slipped in. Ellen picked her way through boxes and piles of paper until she reached what was left of Johnny's desk. The brown haired scientist had his head down on the dark brown wood, looking for all the world to be dreaming.
Ellen's lips quickly pulled into a soft smile, the young woman hated the idea of waking the boy, but she really needed to have her Exorcist uniform fitted correctly before she left for the new Headquarters in two days…
The young woman sighed and gently shook the short scientist awake. Her silver eyes watching as Johnny jerked up and almost fall from his chair. Ellen fought down a giggle as the young man fixed his glasses and then fixed her with a odd look. Though it only took her friend a moment to spot her folded uniform in her arms, his mouth pulling into a confused frown. "What's up Allen?" The young man asked, one brown eyes brow raising as Ellen held out her uniform to him.
"I think the measurements are off, it doesn't fit…" Ellen whispered softly, the young woman not missing that Reever was also sleeping at his desk only a few feet away, a pile of papers of his latest assigned work scattered over his desk. A few vials filled with a dark green liquid also sitting on his desk…
Really didn't they ever take a break?
Johnny frowned and stood from his desk, the young man picking his way over to a box and rummaging through it. A second later he was pulling out what he had been looking for. "I'm sorry about that Allen…Why don't you let me measure you again and I can get it fixed by tonight…"
Ellen offered her friend a thankful smile.
No sooner had Johnny started taking her measurements, Bookman came through the doors with a crush fallen Lavi following behind him. Ellen smiled, her mood lightening when once Lavi spotted her, he also smiled, although a bit sheepishly.
"Hey Allen, they got you down here to help pack to?" Lavi asked, his green eye watching Johnny instead of meeting her silver. Bookman frowned, his dark eyes also taking note of Johnny and the folded Exorcist uniform on the desk.
Bookman's black eyes narrowed in thought, before they moved to look at her. "Your measurements were off?" the old man asked in that deep voice of his. Ellen turned her silver eyes to the Bookman, choosing to ignore her red haired comrade as he bit his tongue.
The young woman would give him five seconds before he gave in to temptation-
"Well it can't be your height, you are still as short as you've always been Bean Sprout." The Jr. Bookman said under his breath, but Ellen had caught it. So had Bookman, because in the next second the older's elbow met with the Jr.'s stomach.
Ellen fought down an amused laugh as Lavi groaned and rubbed where he had been hit sorely. "No it's not that." the young woman said, her tone somewhat sad. No, if had been that, then Ellen wouldn't have been so upset…
"Huh, your waist measurements-" Johnny started but stopped himself from finishing, his cheeks tinting a little red at the fact that what he had been about to say could very easily been taken the wrong way. Ellen once again huffed, her anger coming back to her over the whole ordeal.
And no, Ellen didn't miss Lavi's inquisitive green eye narrowing, or the second the Jr. Bookman turned back to her and opened his mouth to speak. The young white haired woman dreading what her comrade would say. "I told you to cut back on the sweets-"
Thwack!
Lavi hissed as he was once again hit, though this time in the head. Bookman fixed his apprentice with an irritated look before turning his dark eyes back on her. "I apologizes Allen, this brat has a mouth on him today." Ellen smiled softly at the old Bookman, the man was speaking to her more as of late. Which was odd, because he had never really took all that much interest in her outside that prophesy of her being the "Destroyer of Time"…
"Ellen." The young Exorcist corrected the Bookman, her cheeks heating slightly when this caused everyone in the room to pause and look at her.
"Ellen huh? Why the sudden change?" Lavi asked, a deep curiosity flashing in his green eye. Ellen also not missing the sharp look in the older Bookman's eyes.
The young woman forced a smile onto her lips, her voice soft when she spoke. "I just thought…that…" The words died on her tongue as the room started to spin and her vision starting to darken. Ellen had just a moment to realize that she really should have gone to the nurse…
Then her world went dark and the young woman clasped, her red haired friend catching her just before she hit the ground.
Please review! And thank you all who have reviewed! : )
And Sorry for the late chapter… Next one with come out faster!
Next chapter: Plots are put into motion… Ellen is brought to the new HQ, and finally gets the chance to talk with her master… but even more truths, ones that the General would prefer to keep hidden, are brought to light… And just how will a Ark bound Neah handle the news that his daughter is pregnant?
