"When the time comes, forget the wrong that I've done-"
"So,…." The little brown-haired girl contemplate for awhile and grin.
"THE BLACK ORDER!YAY! " she jumped and run around like an excited kid(you are a 7 year old brat..haha).
She and her dad(Cross) arrived in the Order through the canal.(YOU are not like Allen who CLIMBED!). He is currently holding her right hand so he won't be able to lose sight of her.
Who knows what might an overhyper kid would do the first second he brought her there inside.
The pain of playing tag in that huge place.
"Oi Alice! Stay still. This is not a playground!" He said while scratching his head and with a sigh kneel down her level.
"Look, here" he said to get your attention. "I am going somewhere here in this place to talk to someone. DO NOT GO anywhere and STAY HERE. Do you understand?" He gave her that 'infamous' stern look of his. Well, he really is her father.
"HAI SIR!" The girl, now known as Alice said while grinning ear to ear from glee.
"Hm. Good. I'll be back for awhile. Kim!" Her father montioned to the small silver golem that she MUST watch over her. "I'll contact you through Kim. Remember what I said." And with that he is gone.
He just needs to settle things down first.
Alice looks around the hallway of the this place called as the Black long after walking around, she found herself in an isolated corner that linked to a long hallway where her father had gone connecting to another hallway. She try to entertain herself by talking and singing with Kim. The temptation of going and DISOBEYING her father is taking a great toll on her but she just shrugs it off like the good girl she is.
She CANNOT no…
SHE MUST NOT DISOBEY.
It is against her pride as his daughter. So she is going to get stucked there, lulling herself to sleep with Kim, her bestfriend.
Zzzzzzzz
Not long after her 'nap' she was woken up by a shake and a voice. (guess who it is…..dun dun)
"Umm…excuse me? Who are you?" a girl said as she shakes her shoulders gently once more.
Unfortunately, Alice is not an eager person when it comes to waking up from Lala Land.
"Hmmm…" She just answered since she is still half asleep.
"Umm….please wake up…Help me."
'Eh? Help?' She asked herself as she finally opened her eyes and look into the girl who woke her up.
"Sor-Sorry if I wake you up but will you please hel-" Alice cute her off.
"Who are you?" Alice asked curtly. It is not like her being rude but she just wanted to ask the question first than the other way around. This place is new to her and she cannot just let her guard down since she are all alone forawhile.
It just became her habit not to trust that easily especially in what kind of situation she had been with her father as they move about different places.
"I am Lenalee Lee. I am an exorcist here. You?"she asked shyly. She seemed to be around her age.
'An exorcist?' Then it occurred to her.
She have an anti- Akuma weapon, innocence with her.
This is the so called Black Order anyway so there must be exorcists around.
She mentally slapped herself as she look at her appearance. 'A kid just like me?...' She thought. She is very young and yet she is already here as an exorcist. She noticed that she is waiting for her reply and hastily stand up and offer a hand.
"My name is Alice, just Alice." You said with a smile. "Nice to meet you too Lenalee!"
She instantly make a mental note not to reveal her identity since it might ruin her father's name( last name) if she unconsciously done some stupid things with this girl. Well, she is just being careful of unwanted mishaps that may happen around she will be involved.
Oh, the horrors of getting scolded.
"Thank you." She said as she look pleadingly at me. "Now, would you please help me?"
"It depends on what kind of help it is, Lenalee." She said while eyeing her antics. God this could be trouble.
"Well…I- I- I- I want to escape here! I- I want be with my brother! Please help me escape!" She asked pleadingly and instantly grab her hand with here and shake it…hard.
'Uh-oh.'
May the heavens spare her.
"E-E-eh?...Wh-what?" She asked knowing the answer far too well. She had been in this kind of position where someone is pleading or asking a favor to her like their life depended on it. Alice remembered how her father's debt collectors would come at her and 'ask' her to make her father pay ALL his debts.
As if her father would even consider it.
"Well…ummm…..ano…GAH!" Alice muttered while shaking her head. This is the very thing she do not want to happen. This smells nothing but trouble to her. She heard from her father how strict the Black Order since they are very short on people like exorcists. She cannot help but heave a sigh and think. She needs to ponder more about this girls problem since her resolve will only bring her trouble.
And that is something she do not want to happen.
Worsen it all.
"Lenalee? Are you listening to yourself?" She asked her and look into her eyes. She was too caught up with her thoughts to notice her green, straight, and beautiful hair and her violet eyes look pleadingly at her.
Actually, solemly.
Like all that matter to her now is escape out of this cage and be with his brother.
Lenalee looks back at her with tearful and puffy eyes once again. Alice cannot help but sympathize with her. She is somewhat lucky that she have her father with her. But this girl...
' She must have suffered a lot.'
"Alice, what do you mean..?"
"I mean what I've said, Lenalee .Now,"Alice do not want to push her away. " -answer me."
She had long to have a friend with her and she might be the first if this goes on fairly well…
IF
Lenalee seems nice and Alice have the intuition that she will be a good friend.
"…THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE!" She retorted back." I WANT TO BE WITH BROTHER AND NOTHING ELSE…I DON'T WANT THIS INNOCENCE! I HATE IT! I HATE THEM!I-"
SLAP!
She slapped her.
She had slapped Lenalee.
She doesn't stop yelling and Alice hates it when people cannot contain themselves. She can see how shock Lenalee is by the look of her eyes and her uncontrolled trembling. Aliceu then cease the opportunity to speak.
"You love your brother, right? And your brother loves you too, right?"
Lenalee just nodded weakly in reply, still bewildered by the slap.
"Then he will surely do everything to be with you again, don't you think? And what do you think you should do while waiting for him? Hm?" Alice asked, eyeing her from time to time.
"I must- must…I- just need to esca-" She cover the green-haired girl's mouth to stop her unintelligent blabbering and proceed to talk.
" You should do your duty here. To help save everyone from this catastrophe, just like a heroine! In short….." Alice gazes into Lenalee's eyes and continue. "You should be strong and make your brother proud of you!" She smiled and grab Lenalee's trembling hands and sway them around making as if to prove her point.
"Making him," She said reluctantly. "...proud?"
"Hai. Making him proud and also not to make him not worry about you, don't you think?" Alice said confidently.
"..."
"Lena?...Lenalee?"
"I- I think your right. I need to stop doing anything stupid."
"Yes!" The young Marian smiled to her knowing that there is a change. A good change at that. "That is the spirit Lenalee!"
"Alice…." Lenalee asked with a shy voice.
"Hm..What is it?"
"What should I do?...The Order is still mad at me from my attempts and…" She look at Alic, emphasizing her point. " and Levelier is- he will surely punish me. I- Alice! I- I-"
She started breaking up. She must have undergone hell. Alice knows pretty well what she means by this. It only means that her not escaping would not erase the fact that she is still alone and scared from the people of the Order. So, Alice did the only thing that comes into her mind.
She hugged her.
She embraced her with all the love she have that she knows Lenalee needs right now.
Someone to care for her.
Alice picked this kind of act from her father, Cross Marian. When he sees that she is upset or sad, he hugs her tightly. He may be a womanizer but in Alice's eyes he is a great father.
She is that only one she knows she have in this world.
Just like Lenalee have her brother.
"Alice...?" she tensed up.
"It is alright Lenalee .Pour it all out and do not worry. Even if there is danger, do not be scared because…" She stopped hugging her and look into her violet eyes. "You've got your brother and me so do not worry, ne?" She grin widely making her smile at last and hug you.
"*sob*Alice thank you!.*sob*...You are…*sob*…a good friend." Lenalee said as she tightens her grip onto her.
"F-friend?" Alice stuttered in shock.
"*sob*…Why…" she looks sadly. "-you do not want to be my friend?" She asked as she stopped hugging her.
"OFCOURSE I AM HAPPY, YOU IDIOT LENALEE!" you said instantly and hugged her. You cannot believe what you've heard. You made a friend, unexpected and crybaby friend.
"Thank God. I thought you do not want me as one." She said as she finally stopped crying.
"I..am just happy I've made my first friend…so stop being a crybaby!" Alice retorted back while hiding her blush. She is kinda embarrassed by how she looks.
"I AM NOT a CRYBABY!" Lenalee said while pouting. "and besides…may I ask something Alice?"
"What is it?" Alice asked, kind of not anticipating something from her.
"I've been here but I've never seen you once…where are you from and why are you here? I hope your not another kid that will be-" she cuts herself and look away from her.
'What is she talking about? Why did she stop..?'
"T hat will be, what Lenalee?" Alice asked her with curiosity. She do not get what she is talking about.
And the very thing that she hates about is someone cutting her curiosity.
Then, she noticed Lenalee trembling and figeting. She seems to be reluctant to tell her about it but then Alice gave her the look that says you-already-said-something-so-you-are-obligued-to-tell-me-the-whole-truth look. This made the green-haired exorcist sigh and look into her eyes gravely.
"A- another kid that will be forcefully synchronized with inn-"
"Ms. Lenalee Lee, I see you've found a cute friend here…"
-help me leave behind some.
reasons to be saved."
