Chapter 9: Decision
The redhaired Bookman Apprentice trailed after the group of guards (A/N: I won't include the Crow yet) as the albino was escorted into the supervisor's office, Lenalee was just beside him. The chinese exorcist looked mildly worried but at the same time she was curious what had made the teen decide to join the organization that he had fought more than once.
'... I've decided to join the Order.'
It had surprised both of them. None of them had expected that especially when the albino had requested to speak with the Supervisor. Lavi's train of thoughts were interrupted when he noticed that they had arrived at their destination. Not surprisingly though, the Generals were also present in the room. The guards positioned in a semi-circular line around the teen, just in case he decides to do something. Not that it seemed that Allen was planning on doing anything bad but the Central was just full of paranoid people. He leaned his back against the wall just as the older Bookman moved at a different spot.
Taking a breath, Allen moved his gaze at each individual within the room before he focused back on the supervisor."... I was hoping to talk to you in private," he murmured, a tint of sad tone blending with his voice,"But I guess I still can't be trusted especially with what I have done before," the teen began, a faint smile on his face. He looked down for a while before continuing,"I'm sure they've already told you, I want to join the Order."
"Why?," Komui asked, curious. He knew that the others were curious as well.
The teen paused for a while before speaking again,"... I want to find out the truth about this war," he said then silently added to himself,'.. And to help those souls.'

The third disciple was already starting to recover even if just a bit. He forced himself to sit up and reached for the small table just beside his bed. He was sure there was still a pack of cigarette there. Luckily for him, it was still there. Unfortunately, before he could even lit it up, the cigarette was dragged out of his hand.
"You're still not allowed to smoke, Tikkiiii," Road made a huff and threw the cancer-causing things out of the window before the Noah of Pleasure could even protest. She got back on the bed, swaying her feet alternately,"Really, Tikki-pon, you should stop smoking...," she pouted.
Tyki merely chuckled then smiled,"Worried?"
"... How's your wound?," she asked suddenly, sounding worried.
"It's healing already...," he assured her then asked,"Has the Earl decided what to do about the boy? He seemed determined not to return," he said, recalling what happened before.
"He's going to send Lulubell there," she answered,"... I'll be coming with her. Maybe we can convince him to come back."
"I hope so.."

After the short meeting, Allen was returned to the room, the same one they had thrown him into days ago. Just because he had decided to join them, doesn't mean they'll be nice to him all of a sudden. They were still deciding whether to accept him or not. He knew they were short in exorcist but he was still a Noah. An enemy to them.
'... The truth.'
He sighed then leaned his back against the cold wall, glancing up at the ceiling,'... Am I doing the right thing?,' he asked, hoping for a response from either the Musician or Crowned Clown.
After what seemed to be minutes, Crowned Clown spoke up,'You are..,' the Innocence assured the young male.'.. But whatever path you decide to take, I'll stay by your side.'
"I'll be with you too. No matter what happens," for once the fourteenth agreed with the sentient Innocence.
Allen smiled at that,"Thank you," he murmured, grateful for their response. At least he had them with him.
It was better then nothing.
