The next day at the Noah headquarters…

After deciding that everyone in the family agrees with the earl and went on the same thoughts that they will be taking care of their fourteenth brother, they brought up Neah on a room that was prepared earlier. Yes, everything as planned. They knew what Allen Walker's next mission; they knew which train they would ride. They even knew of his companion though they were not really bothered about Kanda and Lavi's presence. Not a bit.

They are the Noah family after all. They are invincible. It was also part of their plan to have Tyki welcome wake up the fourteenth member of their clan. Everything went to the plan.

Road, Wisely, Tyki and the Millennium Earl are currently inside the room of Neah who sleeping on the bed, tucked safely under the covers. His clothes are also changed to a new one. Of course they wouldn't let their brother have any connection with those filthy humans.

Most likely, not an exorcist.

Everybody in the room fell silent. As is any kind of noise coming form them would be waking up the sleeping form on the bed. Neah still needs to recover. He still needs to get the full grasp of his memories embedded on his genes and let it take over him. They need the fourteenth member of their family.

Road move from her position and sat on the bed, petting on Neah's white locks. Looking at his brother softly as if he is the most precious thing in the world. None of them ever spoke anything about the issue of the fourteenth being a traitor. Everything was forgotten. The Noah's knew what their mistakes are. The fourteenth is still young back then. He has yet to see the true color of them world. He was still immature back then. And his family failed to realize that.

"Neah…"

(~pagebreak~)

Inside Neah's dreams.

He was back at that realm again. Everything was colored in black and white. A world that is usually seen in the pages of an old story. Everything was unreal. He knew of this world. He knew that he had already seen the place. Everything was familiar, even the strange moon that is etched in the night sky.

"But why can't I remember"

He stood in the middle of the scenery, gazing on his hands. Was he even real?

"Do I exist?"

No answer came up to his mind. It was like everything was erased. Like someone had purposely removed his existence. He doesn't remember anything, not even his own name. Not even himself. He felt lost and empty, a person that fits the place monochrome place. Exactly the place where he is right now. He wanted to remember anything.

Who is he?

Why is he in such place?

What happened to him?

But is it alright to know? A voice was heard resounding at the whole place. It was like it is the place itself that is speaking, whispering in his ears.

"I want to know!"

Is it alright for you to remember? Didn't you wish to forget everything?

"For…get?" he felt a lump starting to form in his throat, almost preventing him to speak properly. His voice refuses to come out even though he has many things in his mind that he wanted to say. It bugged him to no end.

Allen continued to walk in no particular direction as he continued to talk to himself until he just noticed that he is already in front of a lake. He stared at his reflection, analyzing his features. His reflection seemed to soothe his unstable mind as he continued to talk with the voice.

You wanted to forget everything. You wanted for your time to stop.

"I…"

You don't want to remember. You wished to walk on a different path…

"No!"

You were glad that you don't remember anything. You felt relief.

"N-no! I…I…"

You—

"STOP! STOP IT!" Tears started to well in his eyes, dropping to the water and ripple his reflection. He doesn't want to hear it. He doesn't want to know that the voice was saying right. He felt unstable in this world, he was alone and he couldn't even remember even his own name. What did he do to deserve the situation he was now in?

Allen kept asking himself questions that he didn't even know if they would be answered or not. His mind wanted to shout everything yet he remembers nothing.

"Why? Why am I suffering like this?... Why…?" He asked his reflection in the water hoping that somehow he would get an answer by looking at himself. That somehow his memories will return and he won't be lost just like what he feels right now.

"Allen…" A voice called Allen. It was a man's voice. The teen raised his head, trying to find the speaker. It seemed to be so close to him, yet he sees no one aside from himself.

"…." The voice spoke once more but Allen seemed not able to comprehend what he is saying. There was no time for him to say anything as he was grabbed by a pair of hands suddenly emerging from the waters and grabbed him. Allen tried to get away but the man grabbing him is much stronger before he knew it he is already under the water. Allen tried to struggle though he knew in himself that it was futile. He can already feel himself sinking further.

"Don't… all you need to do is be with me and you won't be lost".

"Who…are…yo…u.." He tried to speak but it only made the water enter his body more. He couldn't breathe and Allen could already feel numbness starting to spread in his body.

"I am your…fate…"

Allen couldn't do anything but succumb to the darkness before him.

(~pagebreak~)

"Was he having a nightmare?" Joyd asked the people inside the room as he noticed the tears that flowing from the closed lids of the sleeping figure on the bed.

"Poor child." Desires mumbled with utmost sadness in his voice.
