Chapter 2
The next morning Allen went down to the cafeteria for some breakfast. There she met the chef of the kitchen named Jerry he was very nice and quite the charmer. He was very feminine and very enthusiastic about his work and was happy to serve anything she ordered. So Allen went and told them her long lists of food she would would like for breakfast.
Jerry was to say the least completely shocked at how such a small and petite girl could eat so much and yet not gain a single pound. Allen only replied with a laugh and a smile which brightened up the room.
Jerry was very pleased though to cook for such a beautiful well mannered young lady it was very refreshing and her smile just looked like it made the room itself shimmer in light. After Allen had received her food she sat down at an empty table near the entrance of the large room.
The dinning hall was full of very depressed finders some with angry looks in their eyes. Allen had heard that they just returned from a mission and were ambushed... many finders had lost their lives.
"Dammit! Some many of us had to die... Those damn Akuma damn them!" Yelled one very buff finder as he slammed his fist to the table. Kanda sat by and empty table behind the finder and was busy eating his meal. "Tch, Shut up already. I find it difficult to eat when your busy complaining about some worthless finders!" The buff finder turned to Kanda, "How dare you! Even though we are not exorcists we still do our part and we fight with our lives on the line everyday just the same as you!" Yelled the peeved off finder.
"Tch like I care... All I know is that you guys are nothing more than worthless shit that can be replaced when ever." Kanda replied. The finder stood from his seat and and walked behind Kanda, "You Bastard those are our friends you are talking about! SO WATCH WHAT YOU SAY!" yelled the finder who was just about to slam his fist into the back of Kanda.
But before the fist could connect Kanda rose up from his seat and grabbed the finder by the neck in a tight grip. The finders all stared wide eyed all frozen in fear. They believed exorcists were mean and harsh but this was taking it over the top.
Kanda did not loosen his grip only tightened it causing the finder to choke, panting for air. Kanda was just about to snap the finders neck but was stopped when a gloved hand held tightly onto his arm.
"I know that this is none of my business and all but don't you think that's enough now Kanda." An angelic voice said. Kanda and all the finders turned their heads to the fifteen year old teen all blushing except for Kanda. The finders were all also shocked that a small teen such as her self would actually stand up to Kanda.
Allen tightened her hold on Kanda's wrist with her left hand making him let go of the finder who fell down to the floor grabbing his sore neck while coughing at the sudden fill of air.
"What do you think you are doing beansprout?" Asked Kanda in an emotionless voice. Allen looked up and glared while releasing her hold on his wrist.
"I don't think its fair to treat the finders like that Kanda, they are after all risking their lives for our sakes as well as everybody else's... and the names Allen you bastard."
Kanda returned the glare even though he felt his heart begin to beat very loudly with in his chest at the beautiful teen. "Tch, Like I care finders can just be replaced!"
Allen shook her head, "That is true... There is a lot of people out in the world out there to replace the lives of the finders," Kanda nodded a smirk on his face but Allen only smiled and sighed, "But there are only so many people with such pure hearts and brave souls to be willing to enter themselves with in this war even though they can't fight against their enemy."
All the finders felt pride well up with in and all smiled at the teen pleased by her answer. Allen watched as Kanda's smirk dropped from his face a frown now in play.

Lenalee was slowly making her way down to the dinning hall with a small smile in play. Her thoughts drifted back on to the new member to the family. 'Allen Walker'
To say the least Lenalee was a bit jealous of this cursed teen, she had the appearance of an angel with that long white hair and pale skin. Even her eyes they were such an odd colour I mean you don't find people with silver eyes these days.
Allen was so well mannered and so very kind and so beautiful it was a little sad because Lenalee always felt pride at being the only female exorcists at this place and now all that's different because of one little girl. Lenalee shook her head at the thoughts of the white haired teen. True she was very beautiful but she could not be jealous she was so much better than that.
Lenalee shook her head once again and continued down the hall way to the eating hall only to stumble on the scene of Kanda holding a finder in a tight grip around the throat. Lenalee was just about to stop the fight but stood her ground when Allen grabbed Kanda by the wrist.
She waited and watched how the whole scene played out. The conversation ending with Allen making a statement about the finders who were over joyed to hear it but left Kanda speechless and angry.
Lenalee could burst out laughing right then and there... for once someone stood up for the finders and stood up to the almighty of a jerk Kanda!
"Allen! Kanda!" Lenalee yelled into the hall. Both Allen and Kanda turned to face the dark green haired girl at the sound of their names being called.
"Nii-san wants to see us in his office you both have a mission!" The two nodded and slowly made their way out of the eating hall.
Just as Allen was about to leave one of the finders grabbed her wrist. Allen turned to the finder and saw it was the buff finder that was about to have his neck snapped by Kanda.
He looked her in the eye and Allen saw a small blush spread across his face, all the other finders that witnessed what had happened had gathered behind the one that grabbed Allen's wrist.
"Thank you... Thank you Exorcist-sama..." He muttered out enough for Allen to hear it. Allen smiled, the rest of the finders blushing as her smile lit up the room. "Its no problem its me that should be thanking you guys."
The finders stared at her a bit confused as to what she said. Allen saw all their confused faces and only giggled. "With out you guys we could never get our jobs done. All of you are risking your lives day in and day out. So..." Allen lowered her head, "Thank you so much all of you... and please just call me Allen."
All the finders nodded and smiled as Allen left the room to go to Komui's office a small smile on her face.
***69696969696969696969***
As the three exorcists arrived Komui was sleeping on his desk and a pissed off Reever with many documents was standing next to his desk. "Dammit supervisor!" And angry Reever mumbled.
Allen watched him as he place the many sheets of documents down on his desk. Reever slowly leaned down and whispered into his ear, "Lenalee is getting married..." Just enough for the rest in the room to hear.
Komui shot out of his desk grabbing Lenalee in a bear hug crying while doing so, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LENALEE HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!"
I sweat dropped at the moment and Lenalee was blushing like crazy because of her obsessive brother, then she grew very angry. Lenalee landed a kick to the top of her brothers head and shook her head, "Nii-san remember the mission?"
Komui after regaining his composure returned to his desk with a huge X shaped plaster on his head from Lenalee's kick.
"The finders have sent word that they have found the ghost of Martel and requested back up immediately. Kanda you will go to them and retrieve the innocence and bring it back to head quarters you will leave in tow hours."
Kanda nodded then left the room to go get ready for his mission. Komui turned to Allen who had yet to move form her spot in front of the desk. "Allen you and Lenalee will be going to Mr Russell's home town and find his son Jean."
"Mr Russell... Why is Jean in trouble?"Asked Lenalee.
"That boy knows about akuma and the Earl and has been patrolling his town looking for the Earl we are worried that he will be targeted because of getting himself involved, so far he has found two akuma with in his town but the people there refuse to believe him. The problem is we have signed some finders there to keep an eye on the boy, so far we have lost contacted with all finders and some have been found dead. So I am going to send you Allen, Lenalee with the finder Toma to see what is going on in that town and protect that boy from harm."
The two nodded in reply and slowly made their way out the room but stopped when Komui called, "Ahh Allen!" Allen turned to face Komui before he continued, "Here is your uniform."
"Ah... Thank you Komui."
Allen then returned to her room and tried on her uniform. Her uniform consisted of a black tank top and and black shorts that stopped to her mid thigh. She had long black socks that went to her knees and black boots that stopped just a few inches under the knees. Over that she wore a exorcist coat that just went an inch over her thighs and around her waist was a black belt that held the coat. (Its Allen's normal coat but just shorter and has a belt around the waist.
Allen then tied her hair in her low pony tail at the nape of her neck once again her bangs falling into place framing her face.
Allen was very pleased with her uniform but felt that it revealed a lot of her skin but it suited her well, so who was she to complain. Allen then placed on her white gloves on both her hands then grabbed her suitcase and exited the room to meet up with Lenalee.
Once Allen met up with Lenalee they went down to some tunnel with a boat ready for them and Komui waiting patiently for them.
"U-um Komui do I have to wear this?" Allen asked looking down at her uniform feeling a little self-conscious at the moment from all the stares she was receiving.
Komui chuckled then smiled, "Of course Allen that is the proof of you being an exorcist, Jonny is the one that designs the uniforms to suit each member."
Allen only nodded, "I see... Ahh not that I have a problem with the uniform or anything..." Allen stated a small goofy smile on her face. Komui only shook his head and tossed something to Allen.
Allen caught and smiled when she saw Tim flutter out of her hands. "TIM! Where have you been I have been looking all over for you?" The small golden golem only smiled a toothy grin.
"Sorry about that I just wanted to know more about your past." Komui answered pushing up his glasses.
"I see..."
"Well come on Allen we better get going." Lenalee said climbing into the boat with the help of Toma. Allen smiled and nodded. Toma then helped Allen into the boat and introduced himself to the young teen.
***69696969696969696969***
Soon they were in a train Toma seated on the floor outside the little compartment they had rented.
Lenalee sat on the chair opposite to Allen's reading some random book. Allen's head was leaned up against the window her eyes slowly falling shut the welcoming sleep slowly taking over.
***69696969696969696969***
Blood...
So much blood...
Screams filled the air...
Fire burning over the small town, building collapsing and everything dying away from the fierce flames.
The sky slowly turning black from the heavy soot and fluttering ash, the sun in the horizon glowing a deadly red.
A small girl in a clown like clothes was running down the street, tears streaming down her face. All those around her were dying being killed by falling buildings, being burned alive or by the people who started this whole mess.
"MANA! WHERE ARE YOU? MANA!" The young brown haired girl screamed. The young was soon hit to the ground by all the people running hitting her has they tried to run past. The small girl covered her face which was now bleeding from the harsh kicks from the running crowd.
Once it was calm The child slowly stood, her long brown hair now loose from the high pony tail it was in. Her clothes was ripped and tattered with blood from all her cuts and injuries.
"M-mana..." The young girl muttered.
"Allen..." A dark voice called it was deep and sent waves of shivers down her spine as it called her name.
"Hahaha this is so much fun!" The voice of a young girl screamed. Allen slowly turned her head only to see two darkened figures standing behind her. She could not see any detail out of the two only two golden eyes that shined from their darkened faces.
In front of the two Allen saw Mana all mangled and covered in blood. Blood began to rain from the sky slowly tainting the child in blood. Allen placed her hands to her face and screamed.
***69696969696969696969***
Allen's eyes shot open as she clutched tightly to the blanket that was placed over her small form. She panted hard, beads of sweat rolling down her face.
"Allen?" Lenalee asked crouching next to the bench that Allen was on. Allen turned to face Lenalee still panting and clutching hard to the blanket.
"Are you okay? You were moaning in your sleep so I thought I should wake you." Lenalee asked concern written all over her face.
Allen forced a shaky smile to her face and shook her head, "Y-yea I'm fine... Just a b-bad dream that's all."
Lenalee stared at the teen in disbelief but did not question any further at seeing Allen's discomfort.
Allen stood from the bench, "I am going to go to the bathroom." She exited the room not bothering to wait for a reply from Lenalee. Once she was in the bathroom she shut the door behind her slowly sliding down it.
Her knees were pulled to her chest and her head were pressed against her forehead tears slowly making their way down her cheeks. Allen took slow steady breaths to calm herself, her heart was racing in her chest, her scar sending harsh waves of a burning sensations down the left side of her face.
Allen then stood and made her way to the sink on wobbly legs. She looked at herself in the mirror to her red and puffy eyes. She turned the handle of the tap and let the water run before placing both her hands in the water collecting some with in her palms after removing her gloves.
She splashed her face with water and rubbed her eyes being very gentle on her left one fearing the pain might worsen. Allen stayed in the bathroom for a few more minutes to allow herself to calm down a bit more before she retreated to the compartment.
Allen was very grateful to Lenalee for not asking for any questions but only continued like nothing had happened. An hour later they had reached the town they were looking for. They went to an Inn and rented two rooms one for Toma and one for Allen and Lenalee to share.
"Okay why don't we all split up and look around the city for any clues on the missing finders and then go to Jean home." Lenalee said staring at the two who nodded in reply. The three soon left on their own paths and began to investigate around the city.
Allen was walking around the train station having found no information on any missing finders.
"AKUMA!" A scream erupted the station a small crowd rushing to the area were the scream came from, Allen followed. When Allen arrived she found a small boy standing in front of a homeless person yelling to the crowd that this man was a demon.
"Dammit Jean stop with this nonsense already we are tired of hearing this rubbish about akuma!" One very peeved off man said.
"But I am not lying this guy," The small boy yelled pointing towards the homeless man behind him, "This guy really is an Akuma I still saw it the Earl changed him into an akuma!"
The boy was then grabbed by the homeless man his hands wrapped around the young boys mouth, "Sorry I was playing akuma with the boy and he seems to have gotten a bit carried away.." Said the homeless man. The people then left still complaining at how the young boy had wasted their time once again with this rubbish.
The young boy began to whimper as the grip around his mouth and now neck tightened. A black star formed on the forehead of the homeless man a dark chuckle escaping his lips.
The homeless person tightened his hold around the throat of the little boy but before the akuma could snap the neck of the little boy a silver claw slashed through him.
"There is no way for you to escape my eye!" Allen yelled glaring hard at the dying demon.
"E-exorcists? DAMN YOU!" It yelled out only to disappear and crumble down in a pile of dark grey ashes.
"Are you okay?" Allen asked crouching in front of the boy who was sitting on his knees panting and rubbing his sore throat.
'She's so cuuuuuutttttteeee!' The boy screamed in his mind while staring at his saviour. "Umm yea thanx..." He said while grabbing the offered hand of the girl.
But once he laid eyes on the girls uniform he screeched and pounced on Allen, "This is so amazing your an exorcist right?" he yelled.
Allen was now laying on the ground her head spinning from the impact unable to understand a word the young boy on her was saying.
Soon the two were walking down the street with each other well the boy was on his roller blades roller blading slowly next to Allen.
"So your name is Allen Walker..." The boy mumbled and Allen smiled.
"Well you know my name so may I ask what is yours?" Allen asked in a very polite tone.
"The names Jean... Jean Russell."
"Ahh I have been looking for you Jean!" Allen said bringing the two to a stop. Allen after having no luck on finding any of the missing finders decided to look for Jean Russell instead.
"Me? Why?" He asked staring at the white haired teen.
"Jean the Order knows of you and your searching for the akuma's and they have requested that you stop getting yourself involved with anything got to do with the Holy War." Allen stated staring at the young boy who slowly grew angry.
"Hmpf as if I would listen. I am only protecting the town nothing more." Jean said crossing his arms over his chest pouting.
Allen shook her head, "No Jean you have to stay out of it. You actions could make you a target and as well you have no innocence so if your were attacked there would be no way for you to defend yourself."
Jean only stuck his tongue out at the girl, "That's why I will become a scientist for the Order and invent a weapon strong enough to defeat the akuma's with out the use of innocence! I wont give up!" The young boy said skating down the street away from Allen.
Allen then sighed and looked down to her feet, she noticed an onion laying by her feet.
"An onion?" Allen picked the onion up noticing it had a dial on the back that was slowly ticking. Allen went wide eyed when realisation hit and before she could get rid of it, it exploded yellowish gas surrounding Allen.
***69696969696969696969***
Lenalee had now met up with the finder Toma. They were both walking down the streets near the train station and saw Allen coughing in some yellowish smoke.
"Allen!" Called the finder running down to the white haired teen who had emerged from the strange gas Lenalee following behind.
Allen was rubbing at her eyes which were burning from the smoke. She now had tears running down her face. "Ahhh, My eyes!" Allen whined.
Lenalee stood next to Allen and picked up the bomb, "Its an onion?"
Toma pulled out a white handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to Allen who was still rubbing at her burning eyes.
After Allen had manage to stop the burning in her eyes they all made their way back to the Inn while listening to Allen explain her meeting with Jean.
Lenalee waited in the room for Allen to emerge from the bathroom while sitting on her bed which was against the wall. The room was very comfy with two beds which had two side tables and one dresser. It also had a private bathroom which was a good addition to the room.
Allen hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself. She walked over to the sink and looked at her appearance mostly glancing at her scaly red arm, her cursed eye and her long white hair which now hung loosely cascading down her back.
Allen really didn't want to sleep tonight specially after that nightmare from this afternoon. Lately her nightmares have gotten worse and much more violent. Those two figures in her dream they were the cause... it was their fault that she lost Mana... the only person to ever give a damn about her...
Allen gripped the sink, as she thought more and more about what happened the day she lost Mana... Allen gritted her teeth her eyes shadowed from view.
"Dammit..." Allen muttered quietly slamming her left hand down onto the sink. Allen looked up and took a deep breath she had to control her anger... no matter how much it hurt she could never wish for revenge... no …. no matter how much she despised those two she could never kill them for revenge … in fact she will never kill... no matter what...
After Allen and Lenalee finished showering and getting ready for bed they both sat up talking for a while only a bit of girlie chat then and there. Soon after two hours of just chatting the two decided it was time to sleep considering it was passed midnight already.
They both soon fell asleep, Lenalee a welcoming sleep and Allen stayed laying their in bed before she slowly drifted to sleep.
The next morning Lenalee woke up and stretched and turned her head to the bathroom door only to see Allen emerge from it fully dressed and ready to go.
"Morning Allen you're up early."
"Morning Lenalee. I just woke up early this morning and was to wide awake to go back to sleep so I decided to get dressed so long." Allen lied, truth was she was exhausted she had that same dream from yesterday afternoon and woke up early this morning and was to frightened to go back to sleep.
Lenalee only nodded and smiled. Lenalee eyed Allen in her uniform with out her jacket and to say the least she even had a very gorgeous body with all the right curves any women wanted. Lenalee felt another pang of jealously but slowly shook her head.
"Are you all right Lenalee?" Allen asked noticing her unhappy gaze that was directed at her.
"I am fine. Well I will go get ready." Lenalee said running in the bathroom shutting the bathroom door behind her making Allen wince. Poor Allen was now standing there confused at what exactly had she done to make Lenalee so upset but quickly dismissed the thought thinking maybe she as well had a restless night of sleep.
When they were both ready they left to go look for Jean's house. Allen who had split up from the both Lenalee and Toma and managed to get herself lost and was now wondering the streets.
She soon came up to a graveyard where she saw Jean and another blond boy with him, standing in the middle of the path way of the graveyard. Allen ran to the entrance of the graveyard hearing Jean talk about the Earl and the akuma's.
She was just about to call out to him once she reached the entrance but froze when she stared at the young blond haired boy. All the white in her left eye changed to black her silver coloured eye turning black with a red ring around the iris and one around the pupil then a third in the middle.
Jean turned to Leo unaware of Allen's presence and was slowly walking backwards Leo walking in front of him that creepy smile that he had been wearing since he met up with Jean at his house still in play.
Jean was a little concerned for Leo's strange actions and was highly bothered by that creepy smile. Jean who was still walking backwards in front of Leo came to a stop when he bumped into someone from behind.
Jean looked up and froze all his breath hitching up within his throat. Leo now came to a stop an evil grin smeared on his face at the sight of the Earl.
"Millennium Earl?" Jean said slowly turning to face the Earl backing up until he was standing next to his friend.
"Good evening Jean-kun" The Earl said an evil glint in his eyes as he stared at the boy before him. "Jean-kun you have become quite the nuisance by bothering my poor akuma from their work of killing and creating more despair." He scolded.
"Leo we must run!" Jean screamed at the boy next to him who had yet to even move.
"L-leo?" Jean asked.
"Hahaha sorry Jean-kun, Leo is already long dead!" Stated the Earl.
"W-what?" Jean screamed he slowly began to back away from the two and his eyes widen even further when cold steal was roughly pressed to the back of his head. Jean looked to his back through the corner of his eye only to see Leo had now appeared behind him his body changing into the body of a demon.
"Akuma... No Leo it can't be... did you want your mother back this bad...? Even if it meant turning her into an akuma? Why Leo... WHY?" Jean muttered but the Earl heard every word and only chuckled. "Leo Kill the boy!"
Allen who had been standing at the entrance was shocked on the spot unable to move. The Earl was standing right in front of her the one that confused her mind with thoughts of being able to bring her father back... the one that gave her a chance to hear his voice once again the one that caused her to kill him.
Allen's slowly clenched her fists shut, her body began to tremble her eyes shadowing from view. She slowly shook her head and looked back to the scene in the graveyard. 'No this is no time to be frightened I have to stop this now he is going to kill Jean!" Allen thought while shaking her head and slowly regained her composure.
"Jean!" Allen yelled appearing next to the frightened boy activating her Innocence, Allen grabbed onto Jean and pulled him close to her body and then hunched over him making sure she was shielding the boy with her silver claw leaving her in the open fire.
"An Exorcists hmm.." The Earl said the akuma now floating behind him.
"A-Allen?" Jean stuttered as Allen fell to her knees clutching her bleeding shoulder in pain.
"Are you all right Jean?" Allen asked looking up at the boy a smile on her lips. Black pentacles stars began to form all over her skin.
"Allen that is..." Jean started, 'the skin disease that forms after you get hit by an akuma bullet..' Jean thought watching as Allen's skin began to darken.
"Hahaha I come here to get rid of an irritative boy and now I can get rid of a little girl exorcist too! Oh what a good evening this has turned out to be ~ !" The Earl said in a sing song voice.
Allen let out a low chuckle and smirked at the confused face of the Earl, "Please.. like something like this would be enough could kill me.. I host an akuma-weapon with in me so I can heal myself from the akuma poison!" Allen then placed her scaly red hand over her chest and the cross began to glow a bright green. Slowly the dark colour that covered her skin began to reside with in the pentacle on her forehead.
Allen then slowly stood her left hand clutching her still bleeding arm.
"No this is all a lie... Leo can't be an akuma!" Jean screamed staring at the hovering akuma beside the Earl tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
"Jean..." Allen said her cursed eye glaring hard at the Earl.
Earl stared at the girls left eye confused at what he was seeing, 'What is that girl... She has a pentacle on her forehead and a special kind of akuma eye... yet she has innocence...'
The Earl stood deeply in thought staring at the white haired teen then suddenly perked up when suddenly an image of a young brown haired girl sparked to mind. "Ahh!," The Earl gasped pointing to Allen, "I remember you! Your Allen Walker the girl who turned her father into an akuma!"
Lenalee and the finder Toma had ran in on this scene at the graveyard after hearing the gun fire of an akuma. What the Earl had said caused them to freeze in their spots at the entrance of the graveyard staring wide eyed.
"Allen turned her father into an akuma?" Lenalee said staring wide eyed at the scene.
Jean turned to look at Allen who visibly flinched at what was said, "Allen your father was an Akuma?"
Allen did not remove her gaze from the Earl as she spoke her voice soft and sad, "Mana... My father... we weren't related by blood but Mana took me in and raised me as his own even though I was born with a deformed arm."
***69696969696969696969***
A young long brown haired girl wearing a green clown like outfit was walking down a long dirt road following behind a tall man who was dressed in a black suit and top hat.
The small girl was slowly falling behind breathing heavily from the tiredness that began to over whelm her from all the walking. Soon she tripped and feel to her knees both hands place in front of her supporting her weakened form.
"Allen... Don't stop.." The man in the top hat said crouching down in front of the small girl, "Never stop... Always keep walking till they day you give your last breath..." Continued the man.
Allen stared at him in awe, "Mana" she whispered the naming rolling off her tongue.
***69696969696969696969***
"Mana! Hey Mana!" Allen screamed. She was on her knees covered in blood. Some of the blood belonged to her the rest didn't.
"I'm okay Allen..." Mana panted out. He quickly tackled the girl to the ground covering her small form with his own. Allen was about to scream out but was prevented when Man placed his hand over her mouth.
"Shhhh Allen they're coming!" Mana quietly said in a desperate voice Allen laid under that large man and whimpered silently out of fear tears coming out like a hail storm.
"Ahhhh there no more survivors lets go now-" The rest of what the figure said was mumbled out. The rest of what she heard was them both agreeing to leave and something about them being unable to find their target, then all was silence.
Mana sighed his weight crushing the small girl beneath him. Allen's hands were fisted in the older man's tattered coat.
Mana slowly sat up helping the small girl beneath him up to her knees. "Are you okay Allen?" He asked and smiled in relief when she nodded her head. Mana then began to cough up a mouthful of blood his serious injuries bleeding relentlessly.
"Mana!" Screamed Allen as he fell to the ground. Allen began to cry again fear over her adopted father. Mana hated it... when she cried her smile is so pure and happy that it should never be tainted by the tears of sadness.
"Allen it looks like I wont make it out of this..." Mana said between his gags at the blood dripping from his mouth.
Allen shook her head and fisted her hand on the ground that was covered by her adopted fathers blood. "N-no Mana Don't DIE!" She sobbed out.
Mana placed his hand over the small girls and gave her a heart warming smile, "Allen never stop always keep walking until the day you breath your last bit of air... promise me Allen.." He said in a quiet voice.
He smiled when he saw Allen nod staring down at the hands that clutched her own. Soon his eyes began to go blank, Allen sobbed louder at his fading life tears hailing down her pale face.
"Mana! MANA... NO... NO PLEASE DON'T DIE! MANA...MANA...MANA!" Allen screamed shaking the man on the ground harshly attempting to get him up. She soon leaned over him and hugged him, screaming for him not to leave her alone, telling him he has to come back!
Allen was then seen sitting in front of a grave stone that stood by an old withered oak tree. The grave stone had "Mana Walker" engraved on it. Allen sat there tears streaming down her face her head hung low in despair. It was late into the night in a couple of hours it would be dawn again.
"Good evening little girl..." Said a voice appearing behind the grave. Allen looked up to the creepy looking man but was to numb to feel fright or do any sort of reaction to this creepy looking man.
"Would you like me to bring back Mana Walker for you?" The strange man asked the crying child.
"Mana... bring Mana back..." The girl mumbled to the man at seeing him nod she quickly jumped to her feet, "You can! Can you really bring Mana back?" The young screamed out in a hoarse voice from the lack of being used.
The Earl was then a few feet away in front of the girl then brought a skeleton which appeared through the ground on some sort of stand.
"Okay Allen all you have to do is call his name!" The Earl told the little girl. The young girl walked over to the skeleton completely ignoring the fact that this man knew her name.
"MANA!" Allen screamed out with her loudest voice and watched in awe as the skeleton began to glow in a dark purple hue the word Mana engraved to its forehead under a black pentacle.
Allen smiled and slowly made her way to Mana, "Mana..." She called reaching her arms out to the skeleton.
"A-Allen?" It said bringing tears of joy to her eyes at the sound of her fathers voice, "How dare you make me into an akuma Allen!" It screamed frightening the small child.
"I curse you Allen Walker!" It yelled bringing one of its blade like arms down her left eye. Allen screamed in pain while clutching her left eye and gasped as a black like rope wrapped around her body hitting her hard against the ground.
She struggled for air from the tight bondings and stared in disbelief at Mana who hovered above her small form.
"Mana I command you to kill this child and were her form!" The Earl said while giggling at how amusing this was.
"I curse you Allen Walker!" It screamed again. Allen's heart was beating loud with in her chest hitting hard against her ribs. A sudden pang of pain raked through her arm. Soon a green glow was filled her vision and before she knew it she had whacked the akuma skeleton off of her with a long silver claw.
The Ear chuckled again before disappearing from view.
"What is this-" Allen was cut off as her arm forced her to go to Mana. "Run Mana!"
The skeleton looked up to Allen and said in that same voice he used before he died, "I love you Allen please destroy me."
"Father!" Allen screamed at the giant clawed through the skeleton... a long scream of pain coming from Mana's mouth right before he died once again.
Allen sat there her eye bleeding form the injury still in its cursed state. The cross on her left hand glowing brightly.
Then Cross came up from behind the young girl and explained the lives of an akuma to her. He then crouched down by her placing a hand on her shoulder.
"To be born with Innocence... What a burden you carry.." He muttered staring at the now white haired child.
"Tell me Allen Walker... would you like to become an exorcist?" He asked. Allen looked up to the red haired man.

Allen kept her gaze at the Earl giving him a harsh glare. Lenalee and Toma stared wide eyed at Allen shocked to hear that was the very first human to ever survive the awaken of an akuma.
Allen shook her head to rid her mind of the horrid thoughts of Mana's death and transformed her arm into its gun state, aiming it directly at the Akuma fluttering behind The Earl.
"So how many years has it been Allen...? Three years... And might I add you have truly grown into a beautiful women." The Earl said in a calm voice his ever so freaky grin never leaving his face as he glared at the white haired exorcist.
Jean stood to the side of Allen glaring at the white haired teen fear streaming across his face.
The Earl then whipped out a pink umbrella with an orange pumpkin for the top of the umbrella. The Earl held it up above his head while jumping on the Leo akuma flying higher in the air before coming to a stop.
"Lero... Lero... LERO!" The pink umbrella screamed purple shock waves emitting for the strange pumpkin headed umbrella.
Soon the sky was filled with dozens of akuma all level ones. Allen all the others there widen their eyes in shock at the sight of so many akuma. The Earl laughed merciless at the sights of the exorcists before he turned his gaze back to Allen.
"Allen~ !" Called out the Earl in a sing-song voice. Allen looked back up at the Earl glaring at him harshly.
"Oh come on... Allen you don't have to give me such a scary look ~ ! I just can't help but wonder why I didn't kill you that night that very first night I met you... Its such a bother... Well I suppose I will dispose of you right here then ~ !" He once again sang out.
Allen took that moment and leaped into the air firing at the few akuma. Lenalee took that chance to activate her innocence and began to attack the akuma destroying them with her striking kicks. Allen was surprised at how strong Lenalee was and was happy to be fighting by her side in this Holy War.
"Lenalee!" Allen screamed as she watched Lenalee was smacked away crashing to the tower of the church then landing onto the roof of the said church with a loud thud and a painful grunt.
Allen quickly jumped up the roof rushing over to Lenalee, "Lenalee are you okay?"
Lenalee nodded faintly and slowly stood on wobbly knees, dizziness overcoming her from the impact.
A loud scream of panic filled their ears, they turned to the source of the scream and saw Jean got hit to the ground by his once so called best friend.
"L-Leo...?" He stuttered out slowly making his way to the entrance of the cemetery hoping to escape the evil behind him. Jean's heart was beating loud and wildly with in his chest his knees shaking as he ran.
Once Jean reached the entrance he was once again stopped by the demon Leo. "Leo..." Jean muttered out his eyes wide at the demon ready to kill him.
"Jean!" Allen yelled jumping towards Jean killing the few akuma who got in her way.
The akuma quickly retreated towards the Earl dodging Allen's on coming attack. "Jean are you okay?" Allen asked standing next to the trembling boy.
Jean did not answer he just stared at the akuma who used to be know as his best friend with watery eyes, Allen bit her lip and her eyes softened...
"Allen..." Jean said catching the attention of Allen, "I want you to destroy Leo..."
Allen stared at the little boy who's eyes were shadowed from view his fist were clenching and tears began to slide down his cheeks. Allen nodded and took a step forward she glared hard at the Earl and the akuma known as Leo.
"Tell me Allen Walker that eye of yours... it is just like the eye of an akuma," The Earl said giving Allen a calculating gaze, "What does the world for you look like then Allen-chan~" The Earl sang out.
Lenalee and Toma are now standing next Allen and Jean. Lenalee and Toma understanding exactly were this conversation was going. The Earl took a few steps closer to the group making them stiffen up preparing themselves for an oncoming attack.
"That eye what does it exactly allow you to do?" The Earl asked in a more serious tone. Allen thought about it for a few seconds should she tell the Earl... She didn't see why it would cause such a problem if her knew either way.
"Why do you care anyway?" Allen asked the Earl only chuckled in response.
"Well my dear I need to see if that eye of yours will become a problem for my plans if you make it out alive..."
Allen and the others remained silent neither said a word. The Earl only sighed, "Well I guess I should just figure it out by myself than!"
Allen watched as the Earl motioned one of the flying level one demons to come forth.
"What are you doing?" Toma asked glaring at the akuma.
The Earl just gave him a creepy look then returned his gaze to the cursed teen, "Now Allen if this works it will be a very unpleasant sighting for you~"The Earl sang out.
Allen was just about to scream out to him but was interrupted when the pink pumpkin headed umbrella began to count from ten.
The akuma that was brought forward began to panic but did not move one bit.
Lero continued to count down now reaching five. The group stared confused.
"Help me... Please save me! Please I don't wanna disappear! PLEASE SAVE ME!" Allen looked to the soul of the akuma which was a thirteen year old girl that was in terrible shape bloody tears streaming down her face.
"W-what?" Allen asked staring at the soul who was screaming in pain begging for Allen to save her. Allen fell to her knees and clutched her head in pain tears forming with in her eyes.
"Stop it! Your hurting her!" Allen screamed to the Earl the rest staring at Allen like she was going crazy.
Allen let out a pain filled grunt as the crying voice of the poor soul knifed through her head.
"Allen!" Jean yelled now crouching next to the trembling teen.
"What the hell are you doing!" Lenalee shouted taking a few steps closer to the Earl.
"...1...Lero!" The umbrella said.
Allen looked up to the soul of the akuma and watched as the girl screamed in pain then soon bursts into nothing but blood. Allen stared wide eyed at the scene the drops of blood left from the soul now turning to nothing but ash.
To the rest all they saw was an explosion once the smoke cleared there was nothing but the remains of the akuma.
"Why... you just destroyed one of your own?" Lenalee asked staring at the lump of remains.
"To confirm my suspicion and by the looks of it I was right..." The Earl chuckled out. Lenalee was just about to retort but was cut off when Allen let out a scream of pain and covered her left eye with both her hands.
"Allen!" Toma shouted crouching next to the teen. Allen looked up her right eye glaring hard at the Earl her left one was shut tightly tears made of blood streaming down her face.
"You bastard!" Allen shouted jumping to her feet, "How could you!" Allen lunged forward her arm in its claw form directed to the Earl.
"Allen!" Lenalee screamed running after her but was stopped by one of the akuma's which she quickly destroyed only to be stopped by the rest of the akuma.
Allen ran towards the Earl who had not moved a single step from his spot but before Allen could reach him he appeared right in front of her shocking Allen.
"Wha-" Allen was cut off when the Earl grabbed her by the throat causing Allen's arm to return to normal from the loss of concentration.
"What an interesting child you have become Allen Walker..." The Earl said while Allen struggled with in his grasp choking as he tightened his hold around her bruised throat.
"Damn you!" Allen chocked out while scratching at the hand wrapped around her throat.
"I must admit I am very confused... why didn't I kill you back then..." The Earl mused in a thinking pose. Allen's feet were swinging helplessly off the ground in a struggling manner.
"Well it matters not... I will just snap your neck and that will be the end of you..." The Earl said focusing full attention on the white haired teen.
Allen gasped as his grip tightened even further her body stiffening at the pain.
"Allen!" Jean yelled running towards the Earl with a stick in his hand ready to strike the menacing Earl, "Let her go you freak!"
Jean struck at the Earl's leg only to have the stick brake in half, the Earl chuckled and kicked Jean to the ground not even loosening his grip on Allen.
"Please do you really think that would be enough to stop me you insulate brat!" The Earl tightened his grip even further.
Allen's eyes widen and her breaths were now coming out as battled short pants all her strength was leaving her at the lack of oxygen.
Jean slowly made his way back to his knees coughing while on hand clutched at his stomach were he had just been kicked.
The Earl walked up behind the boy his once pink umbrella turning into a short dagger his other hand still wrapped tightly around the white haired teens neck.
"Time to die Jean..." The Earl held the blade above Jean's head ready to deliver the finishing blow.
Allen kicked her feet and struggled her best in order to rescue Jean.
"D-don't...(Pant)... Don't you...(pant)... dare touch him..." Allen choked out. The Earl only chuckled, "Do you really think you are in any position to order me around my dear... maybe I should dispose of you first... Instead of me just quickly ending your life I think a slow and painful death is more suitable for someone like you..."
The Earl released the dagger that continued to float above Jean who helplessly stared at Allen who now had both of the Earl's hands wrapped around her neck placing tremendous pressure around her thin throat.
Allen gasped out in pain unable to breath at all now by the tight grip around her throat.
Toma and Lenalee finished off destroying the rest of the akuma and stopped a few steps were the Earl held both Jean and Allen as his hostages.
"If either one of you take a step any closer or try anything I will kill them both~" The Earl sang out.
"You bastard!" Toma shouted out.
"Well then let me kill little Walker here and I will let the boy go and the rest of you... try and interfere then they both die and you too..." The Earl said between chuckles.
Lenalee clenched her fists and bit her bottom lip... why did it all turn out like this... this was supposed to be an easy mission! Allen couldn't die on her very first mission... it just wasn't fair!
"Aggg … Don't count me short Earl! I wont die here or let any one else die!" Allen shouted out, "Jean now!" Jean quickly pulled out one of his onion bombs and through it to the Earl which exploded directly in his face.
The hands around Allen's neck loosen just enough for her to brake free from his clutches. Allen ducked when Lenalee came swooping in kicking the distracted Earl with a kick to the stomach which sent him flying.
The blade then dropped down heading for Jean who had no time to evade. So he shut his eyes waiting for pain to come but when none came he peeked his eyes open to see the blade only an inch from his face but was not moving.
He looked up to see that Allen had caught the blade with her left hand.
Allen had beads of sweat rolling down her brow and was panting hard with a few coughs now and then at the feeling of oxygen rushing in her lungs.
Allen then dropped the dagger to the ground and fell to her knees and was breathing heavily.
"Allen are you al-right?" asked Jean crouching next to the trembling girl.
"Yea don't worry I'm fine... and what about... you Jean?" Allen asked in a shaky voice. Jean only responded with a nod.
"My...My I wasn't expecting that..." They all turned to the Earl who was back on his feet tears running down from his eyes.
Allen stood up and activated her innocence Jean standing close to her. The Leo akuma sprung forward ready to attack but was quickly cut in half by Allen who whispered a silent prayer to Leo and his deceased mother.
The Earl growled and called upon more akuma.
"Allen this is crazy there is to many of them!" Lenalee cried out ready to jump in and kill the akuma.
"No leave this to me I will destroy them all with this one attack!" Allen yelled out she held up her silver claw and the green cross embedded in her left hand glowed a shocking bright colour.
"CROSS GRAVE!" Allen screamed out bring her claw down in a slicing motion. The darkened sky lightened up as white glowing crosses struck all the remaining akuma engulfing them in whit flames that sprung from the white glowing crosses. Turning them all into nothing more but ash.
They all stared wide eyed at the powerful technique used by Allen.
"I will be back! Allen Walker I look forward to our next meeting!" The Earl called out the pink umbrella back in his hand and he slowly began to disappear from view.
Allen then fell back landing on her ass and was breathing heavily.
"Allen are you al-right?" Lenalee asked running up towards Allen, Toma and Jean following behind her.
"Yea just a little tired that's all..." Allen said with an angelic smile. Jean the jumped into Allen's arms.
"J-Jean?"
"Sorry but please can I stay like this just for a little while... Please..." The frightened boy mumbled out while sobbing into Allen's arms. Allen only smiled.
The next morning Allen, Lenalee and Toma said good bye to the little boy Jean. They left on the train with Jean standing next to it Allen hanging her head out the window smiling down at the little boy.
"Thank you Allen! I promise I will become the best scientist for the order and help stop the Earl!" Jean yelled out over the roaring of the trains engines.
Allen smiled at the boy then held her glove hand out to him her pinky the only finger standing. Jean looked at her confusedly.
"Promise me..." Allen started, Jean looked up into her silver gleaming eyes, "Promise me that you will never give up on that dream of yours."
Jean smiled and nodded then clasped her pinky with his own. "Its a promise!"
The wheels of the train slowly began to move and they left with Jean waving at Allen who slowly sat back in the train.
***69696969696969696969***
The train ride home was quiet and quick mostly because the two girls quickly fell asleep as soon as they left the station.
Once they were home Allen went to the nurse to get proper medical treatment for her injuries but was glad to hear that none of her injuries were serious.
Lenalee went to her brother and gave him the report of their meeting with the Earl and his interest in killing Allen.
"This could be bad..." Komui stated his head resting on his head in a thinking pose. Lenalee only nodded in return.
"Now that the Earl knows about Allen's eye it might become dangerous for her because she gives us a bit of an edge in this war."
"Well lets get going the party is about to start... Lenalee you go fetch Allen." Lenalee smiled then left. Once the door shut Komui sighed and shook his head then left for the cafeteria.
"Ahhh... Lenalee were are we going?" Asked Allen who was dragged out of the medical room, she wore no coat over her uniform and had a bandage wrapped around her shoulder were she was shot and had bandages wrapped around her neck were the Earl had injured her.
"Just be patient and come on!" Lenalee replied still dragging Allen down to the Cafeteria.
Once Allen entered she was greeted with a huge banner tied from one end of the room to another and tables filled with lots of her favourite foods and the whole order with huge smiles on their faces.
On the Banner it read, "WELCOME HOME ALLEN WALKER" Allen was to shocked to say anything warmth spread itself through her heart and the scene.
"Welcome home Allen!" Komui said coming up to her and gave her a bear hugging hug something Allen hadn't felt in ages.
"I-I'm back..." Allen stuttered out with a small smile tears welling up in her eyes.
Komui smiled back at her, "Welcome to the family Allen Walker!" Komui shouted out.
Soon all the order came up to Allen and Welcomed her home and all gave her big hugs and some said they were happy to finally have the runt of the family join them which caused Allen to grow a tick mark and retort an insult to the one who called her a runt.
The whole room just bursts into laughter Allen joining them.
'How long has it been since I have felt the warmth of a family... Mana...' Allen thought to herself while watching her new family.
"This is my new family..." Allen sighed out but smiled with a very large grin at the room filled with people... her friends... her family.
