Okay new chapter, I hope you guys enjoy it. Anyways please review, and tell me what you think. And please be respectful. Sorry that it took me so long, I've been really busy. I'm also thinking about rewriting the chapters. My writing has definitely improved in my opinion compared to when I first started this. Plus I made Nella really Over Powered, but not on purpose. There are restrictions that I'm going to put up for his eye. I can't wait till we get to the part of Tyiki Miki destroying Allen's Innocence, because that will seriously break Nella. Anyways on with the story.

Disclaimer: Read Introduction (Is it me or does this get old)

-Nella P.O.V.-

This shouldn't have happened. They had screwed up, and now they were paying for it. In hindsight though, Nella should have figured this would happen. Yet that didn't stop the rage that was slowly building as that damn old hag, Rhode, touched his brother. Nella tried to activate his innocence but it refused to budge. He bit his lower lips, and glared at Rhode. All Rhode did was smile slightly, and it really ticked him off. "Get the hell away from him!" Nella barked out. Rhode turned to him, and smiled.

"Oh I don't think so. I would love to play with you, but somebody already claimed you." Rhode said. Nella glared. Frankly this girl's childish personalty really got on his nerves. She turned her attention back to Allen. Lenalee was badly injured, and that other woman was just useless. Nella tried to activate his innocence again, but with no success. Suddenly candles piereced his brothers eye.

Something pulsated inside of him, something that wanted to be unleash. He screamed as he tried to activate his Innocence it bent and twisted the pain nearly unbearable. His bangs hid his eyes, and he wanted to rip the old hag apart. The Akuma that were surrounding him were scared, Rhode watched in interest from atop the umbrella. The boy was reminding her of a Noah. A large smile went across her face.

Nella's Innocent finally activated, currently in the crossbow state, he pointed it at one of the Akuma, blasting it. Quickly it changed to it's claw form. Nella quickly through the other Akuma. Before he had time to react though a candle went through his right eye. Pain shot through his body, and he fell to his knees, his left hand coming up to cover his eye. Blood seeped through the cracks of his finger, and Nella grit his teeth to stop from screaming.

He could faintly hear Rhode's childish laughter, and it irritated him. Suddenly white enveloped his vision for a moment, as pain shot through his body. He looked down, to find one of the birthday candles had pierced through his rip barley missing his heart. He coughed up blood, and fell to the floor unconscious. He could slightly hear his twin shouting his name.

Nella eyes shot open, to find that he was looking at a pure white ceiling. Slowly he pushed himself up, pain shooting from his left side. He hissed and placed his right hand over the wound. Nella also felt that he had bandages around his right eye. He remembered the fight against Rhode, and how useless he was.

His hands clenched and anger coursed through his body. The anger was directed at himself. He failed to protect his brother. Slowly he got out of bed, his bare feet touching the cold floor. He was wearing a white night shirt that just went over his knees. He didn't care about his current appearance, and walked over to the door. Walking down the hallway he tried to find where his twin brother was.

As he came across a heavy oak door he could hear voices talking.

"It's amazing that your eye is healing, though I don't know how long it will take." He heard an old mans voice. Nella's hand froze midway before deciding to return back to his side. Silently he stalked over ot his room. He couldn't protect his brother. He was useless, it was obvious to him. As he entered his room, he grabbed his clothing. Then he opened the window, deciding to slink off. He would only end up hurting his brother if he was around.

He didn't even leave a note for Allen. He had no idea where he was going, only knowing that he couldn't stick around near his brother.

It wasn't long before the sun started to set. Nella suddenly was alerted by a noise. Before he even had time to react, a vine pierced through his left shoulder. His eyes narrowed. Quickly activating his Innocence, he cut the vine. It dissipated into a black mist. Suddenly an Akuma stepped out from the shadows of a tree.

It reminded Nella of a spider but with the upper body of a human, and the shell of a turtle protecting it's lower body. His eyes narrowed. "Ah, it must be my lucky day." The Akuma said. Nella waited.

He felt something grab hold of his ankle and he was suddenly lifted up from the ground. He was flung into the side of a tree, the wound he had reopening slightly. His body was jerked to the right, causing him to hit another tree. Then he was lifted in the air, and slammed against the ground. His head spun from the impact, and spots floated in front of his eyes.

Slowly he got up, but one of the Akuma's legs piereced him. Nella yelped as blood welled from the wound. He wasn't in the mood to fight though. His mind going back to the incident. His Innocence deactivated. He just lay there, waiting for the Akuma to finish him off. "Oh, are you not going to fight back?" It questioned. Nella ignored it, looking off to the side.

The Akuma raised its legs. Right when it was about to bring the leg down, a gunshot rang out. Nella looked, to find the leg of the Akuma had been shot off. "What are you doing stupid apprentice?" A familiar voice questioned. Nella looked up to find a familiar eye looking at him. A frown graces his face.

"I'm not stupid." He said before passing out on the ground. He could briefly feel somebody pick him up, none to gently. Nella just grunted.

-Allen P.O.V.-

Meanwhile, Allen had just got done talking to Bookman, and wanted to visit his brother. As he walked through the halls to his brothers room, he found the door slightly ajar. Slowly he opened it, to find that the room was empty. Cold dread went through his veins, and he quickly ran out of the room, to find out if anybody had seen him.

Lenalee was with them, and was currently talking to Levi who Allen was starting to get to know. When he entered the room, he must of look pale, because everybody had stopped talking. "Hey have you guys seen Nella?" Allen questioned. He waited to hear somebody say they had, but nobody spoke up. Fear shot through his veins.

He quickly ran out of the room, not bothering to put his shoes on. He burst through the door. Allen needed to find his brother. 'Where are you Nella?' Allen thought. He ran and ran until he came across a blood spot that was on the ground. He stared at it, and he thought the worst possible thing. Then he noticed the burning smell of gun-smoke. He looked around an saw that a tree had been chipped. Slowly he approached the tree. A light-bulb went of in his head.

"So you were here master." Allen said to himself softly. He connected the dots, and knew that Cross must have saved his twin brother. He sighed, heading back to the others. He would probably see Nella sometime soon. Though Allen was worried about what his mental state was going to be like.

-Nella P.O.V.-

When Nella woke up it was again in a bed. This time though he could hear laughter and shouting coming from outside of his door. Slowly he got up. His body ached more then before. His shirt had been repleced with one that was colored black. He took a stick note that was on his chest off and read it. -You owe me stupid apprentice, I suggest that you make it up by paying off some more of my debt.- Nella crumpled it, and tossed it to the side. His hands were clenched and he was gritting his teeth. Nella took a deep breath and then,

"Useless Master!"

-Cross P.O.V.-

Meanwhile Cross was drinking downstairs. He heard the shout, and a smile ghosted over his face. Listening he picked up the rushing of feet, and not long after, the youngest apprentice was there. A glare was on his face, but it didn't match his appearance. Not while he was wearing that black shirt that reached just slightly past his knees.

A smirk crosses his face. "You idiotic useless perveted lech of a master!" The brat shouted. The boy was so enraged, that he didn't notice the state of undress he was in, or how the other tavern patrons were staring at him, their mouths wide open.

He drowned out most of what the brat was saying. He could catch slight phrase like, "I'm going to cut it off," and such. Cross knew they were idel threats. After all, if the brat tried to Cross would shot him.

Finally Cross got annoyed with the brats constant threats before saying, "Shut up idiotic apprentice before I actually find another way for you to work off your debt."

The brat quickly shut up. Cross wasn't serious, okay partially serious. He knew what the boy thought he was going to make him do, but a frown crossed his face. If the boy really thought that, then he was serious an idiot. Sighting, he got up. Walking past his apprentice to the upstairs bed room. Before Nella could follow however, he was suddenly grabbed by the tavern owners hand.

"That man said you would work to pay off everything while your staying here." The gruff tavern owner told Nella.

The brat not able to keep his mouth shut responded, "Let go you smell like trash."

The next thing Cross hear was a yell, and then a yelp from his apprentice. He heard a crash, and knew that Nella had just been throwing. A sneer came across his face. The owner had already told Cross that they needed a new hire, and Nella was going to be perfect for the job.

The next day Cross woke up late. He headed downstairs after getting ready, and found that his apprentice was wearing the normal outfit a girl who was working the taverns wore. When Nella spotted Cross he gave his best glare so far, but all Cross did was smile.

It wasn't long before they had to leave. Cross was only gong to bring Nella to that old village, and have him stay there and wait for his twin. He was sure the polite brat was worried sick about his twin.

A few days later they had arrived at the village, and Cross went to attend to some business at the castle. Then he returned back to the inn.

-Nella P.O.V.-

The next day when Nella awoke, he found another sticky note, this time posted to his forehead.

-I'm going on ahead, wait here for the polite brat. Also I've told the Inn owner that you will pay for everything by working for him. Of course this is quiet a lot, and you should be able to pay it off by the time your twin arrives.- Again Nella crumpled the note.

"I'll kill you for this Cross!"
