Chapter 8

"Don't stop. Keep moving forward." Allen lay still on his bed, hearing the words that Mana, his foster father, had given him before he died.

"Mana, how can I keep moving forward when I've become a monster?" Allen curled his body in to a ball, tears flowing incessantly. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his left eye and he clutched it immediately.

"So you still want me to keep moving forward, huh?" Allen said as he closed his eyes, slowly drifting towards sleep. He felt determined, unlike before, although an uneasy feeling was creeping into his heart slowly, but surely.

"Mana…" Allen whispered, his vision turning hazy. As he fell asleep, he was not aware that there was a silhouette at the door, silently watching him.

"Che, stupid brat." Was what the silhouette muttered before turning around abruptly, his long, navy blue hair swaying in the wind as he stomped away from the infirmary, roughly shoving at those in his way as he tried to keep the smirk from surfacing on his face.
