Allen and Lavi headed outside in the snow. "So why did you say that you're not human?" Lavi asked.
"I-I'm not. *sigh* every night I grow a tail, and a pair of wolf ears. It happened to me when I had run into the Earl when I was younger." Allen pouted as he was building a snowman.
"Whoa… Wait, you ran into the Earl?" Lavi stared at the whitenette.
"Yeah… It happened when I was seven. You see, my father just died, and I was crying at his grave when the Earl showed up." Allen sighed.
"So you turned your dad into an akuma?" Lavi questioned.
"Not on purpose! My uncle had warned me of someone like the Earl, so I tried to run away. But he tricked me into saying my father's name, thus he became an akuma. And that day he cursed me, and my innocence activated for the first time. That very night my hair was white and I was part wolf." Allen sighed.
"Oh, ouch. Hey, you said your uncle knew about the Earl?" Lavi patted Allen on the back.
"No, he just told me ghost stories, and someone like the Earl was in those stories." The whitenette removed Lavi's hand.
"Ok." Lavi sighed.
"I'm going, bye." Allen walked away. In town Allen was very nervous. Everything smelled like akuma, and with his eye out of order, Allen couldn't tell who was an akuma and who wasn't. The whitenette's nerves began to take effect as he looked left and right, trying to pinpoint the akuma. Then he heard a soft "click" from behind him. Suddenly, Lavi comes crashing down into the akuma that had held Allen at gunpoint. On top of his hammer Lavi muttered, "Looks like we got company." Just as the words were spoken, more akuma began to come out of hiding. Lavi and Allen quickly began to lead the akuma out of town and then destroyed them. "I hate to point this out, but not all exorcists have skills like yours. We all are left in the dark, the world is our enemy. So that is what you're going through right now." Lavi explained as he fought.
"Right, thanks, I'm good now. *sigh*" Allen sighed, getting the last akuma. Once the fight was over, the two exorcists laid in the snow. "So how many did you get?" Lavi asked.
"Thirty or so. I don't keep track." Allen panted.
"I got thirty-seven. I have a photographic memory. Wow, they must have really wanted us dead." Lavi groaned. The two then shook things off and began to walk back. "Lenalee, you're awake." Lavi cheered as he walked into the girl's hospital room.
"Hey, and Allen it's good to see you're feeling better." Lenalee smiled.
"Yep, thanks to you saving me back there. If it wasn't for you, I would have gotten caught in the explosion of that akuma." Allen chuckled softly. Everyone had a good laugh. Then Komui got them all onto a train, and began explaining how the Order's setting up parties to locate the exorcist generals. "You three, along with Bookman, have to locate general Marian Cross." Komui stated.
"Master Cross?" Allen yelled in panic.
