Chapter 3

The mission to protect family.

It was early morning and Allen was waking up to the birds chirping outside the window. Today was the day of their first mission on the 'enemies' side. Allen walked over to Charlie's side and sat on the side of her bed. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. A smile was visible on her face all through the night, making it obvious to Allen that they had done the right thing. He let his mind drift back to the Noah transformation. He remembered the agonizing pain as the blood had started to flow out of the newly opened wounds on his head. The pain grew to a burning blaze raging threw his skin, spreading over his whole body. It made him scream in pain but he realized that he was not alone. He say that he was holding Charlie close as she cried and screamed in pain. He could feel that he was loosing control over his body. It was as if he was now just a spectator in his own body so he decided to let go. The Noah had his permission to take over, all that he wanted was for the pain to stop, he let go and as he did the pain got more and more numb, letting him drift off into the depths of his own mind. He remembered killing his friend and didn't feel the slightest bit of regret, after all he didn't need these humans anymore he was a Noah now and he was not going to let these stupid exorcists hurt his family. He had been longing for a family ever since Mana left him, and he had finally regained the feeling of having his own family again. There was no need for him to be as polite anymore because he didn't feel out of place. He knew that this is where he was meant to be.

Charlie stirred in her sleep when she felt her brothers light fingers running over the stigmata that lined her forehead. She could have stayed like that for hours, she had longed for contact for so long now and now she had regained a family. She let out a sigh of content and slowly opened her grey eyelids to state into Allen's golden eyes. His white hair stood out against his beautiful grey skin. And after a long moment the two hugged each other.

Road and Tyki had already made their way down to breakfast with the earl so Allen and Charlie were alone in the room. Allen looked at Charlie who was starting to develop a soft pink blush in her face. Allen moved his hand and lightly let it run down the side of Charlie's smooth face. She let out a small sigh at the contact and let her eyes flutter closed again. Allen pushed his lips onto Charlie's, smiling at the lack of resistance he received. Charlie's soft lips parted slightly giving Allen entrance to her mouth. Allen slid his tongue into her mouth and sighed at her sweet taste. The two sunk into each other letting themselves enjoy their contact.

Tyki was sent to get the two Noah's who were still sleeping (at least that's what he thought) when he heard Charlie's soft moans. He decided to faze through the wall instead of knocking on the door. He suppressed a small muffle as he watched the lovebirds in action. Neither Allen nor Charlie had noticed Tyki enter the room so Charlie let herself sink back into her bed as Allen started to climb on top of her. He slowly moved to pull of her short black nightdress only to stop when he heard the soft cough from the other side of the room. He turned round to look at Tyki who was smirking as Allen turned a bright red (Charlie was already hiding under the bed covers not noticing that she had accidentally activated her wings in the moments panic).

"You know that I can see you under there," Tyki giggled as Charlie stuck her head out from under the bed sheets.

"Come on everyone's wondering where you two are," Tyki's voice grew serious as Charlie got out of the bed.

Charlie and Allen quickly got changed and walked down to breakfast with Tyki. When they entered the kitchen they were greeted by the rest of the family, Charlie was trying to hid behind Tyki as she felt the blush raging over her face.

"Come and have some breakfast," the earl said as he pointed to the free seats.

"Today's mission day, so I want you to eat a good healthy breakfast," the earl purred as he grabbed another piece of bread.

AFTER BREAKFAST

Allen was getting ready to go on the mission. It was not really that hard, they had to kill a couple of exorcists who had been seen in a local town. The rest of his group were already waiting to get going, they had to catch a train after all. When Allen finally joined them Charlie showed him out of the door and started walking down the hill at a quick pace.

"What's the big hurry?" Allen asked as he ran to keep up with the rest of the group.

"Well the train leaves in half and hour and it takes 25 minuets to walk down to the train station," Charlie replied still walking ahead of them.

Allen couldn't hold back the soft laugh as he followed looking at the landscape as he walked. It was even more beautiful in the morning than it had been the afternoon before. The sun was just rising over the quarry as the birds sung a melody that echoed through the tall trees. The winds (which he knew Charlie was controlling) were whistling threw the trees pointing the way for them to go. Charlie was humming happily with Road as the two girls skipped down the hill. Allen and Tyki were walking behind them, smiling at the sight of the happy girls. They were a happy family who would do anything to protect each other. When the four family members reached the train station at the bottom of the road they were relieved to find they had five minutes before their train.

Five minutes later the small group got onto the train. They would only have to travel for eight minutes before they reached their stop (and yes I have timed the train so live with it :P) so they decided to sit down for the short time.

After eight minutes they got off the train and walked up to the Main Street. According to the earl there was an excorcist in this ton looking for an innocence. If they were lucky they could find and crush the new innocence as well as the excorcist. Charlie took the lead when she saw the long dork blue hair of a certain excorcist disappearing up a small road to their right.

'Hang on,' Charlie thought with suspicion, 'I know this place, I used to come here all the time when I came to see my friend. Oh well it must be a coincidence.'

Kanda stopped when he felt the four Noah's following him. He had only come here to retrieve the innocence but no of coarse he had to be followed.

He turned round drawing his sword and dashed towards Allen, he had sworn that he would kill Allen if he became the fourteenth. Charlie could do nothing but stand and stare at the small girl who was hiding behind Kanda.

"Earth," Charlie whispered as she felt Kanda's sword crossing her side as Allen deflected it.

"Charlie!" Allen screamed as blood started to flow from her stomach.

"Earth," Charlie cried, "it's me, Earth please talk to me."

The small girl looked at Charlie with fear visible on her face. Ginger hair fell over her shoulders as recognition flashed threw her eyes.

"How do you know that name," the girl asked in a small timid voice, "the only person who knew that name was-"

"Noah, what are you trying to do," Kanda spat at Charlie. He swung his sword at her shoulder, but she was still to stunned to move. Blood gushed out of her shoulder as Kanda hit her. Tears streamed down her eyes as she screamed in pain and grabbed her shoulder.

"Earth, please talk to me," she pleaded, "Earth, don't you recognize me?"

"Flame? Is that you?" The girl asked in confusion.

"Yes it is, Earth. I know I've changed since I last saw you but please it's still me. Please don't leave me again." Charlie's voice was edging on desperate.

"Why are you just standing there?" Kanda yelled at the small girl. "These are Noah's, they are our enemies and we have to kill them."

Charlie looked at her best friend in shock.

"You have innocence?" Charlie asked with pain expressed on her face. "We were always together, please join me leave that idiot behind."

Charlie was to busy with her friend that she only realized that Kanda had gone when she heard the pained scream. She turn round to see Kanda's sword going right threw Allen's appendix. Without a second thought she let herself go. She had been abandoned by all of her friends and she would not let anyone hurt her new family (especially not her new brother). Her vision turned blurred and then red as she let out her true Noah.

Black flames ran over her body as her clothes burnt off and where replaced with a formal black dress. Her boots were replaced with nimble black high heals , her hair burnt a soft dark red/brown color as it grew to her waist. The sides of her hair were tied over the back of her head with a purple flaming hair gummy. Her wings burnt into a larger version, this time black with dark purple tips making it look as if they were on fire. She opened her bright gold eyes which made even Road pull back in fear.

"Ha..te...hate...Hate..HATE!" Charlie chanted louder each time. She sent a ball of dark purple flickering flames at Kanda. As he repelled the flames, Charlie flew towards Kanda with such speed the winds around them roared in rage. She dived her hand into Kanda's chest and let her fingers rap around his heart. Blood was running down her arm and an ear piercing scream left Kanda's mouth. The screaming stopped as the Noah pulled at his heart. Kanda let go as his eyes turned white from pain. His body turned limp in Charlie's arms as his skin paled and his frightened heart stopped beating. She let his limp body fall as she turned around to look after her brother.

The wound that Allen had received from Kanda's sword had already healed. The four Noah's now looked at the petrified girl staring at Charlie in shock.

"Well this is where we see if we are still friends or not," Charlie said with a sad expression on her face as she looked at her best friend.

Flame: yay chapter over, you have to wait till next chapter to see what happens next.

Earth: Flame, why did you have to put us in such a hard position?

Flame: well I didn't really mean to but he was going to kill Kanda

Earth: didn't you always say that one day you would turn evil?

Flame: I am not evil! But yes I did and you always said that you would be my partner in crime.

Earth: if you say anymore you are going to spoil the next chapter you know.

Flame: I guess you right.

Earth and Flame: please read and review :)
