Me: Before any of you ask, yes I am enjoying your torment of waiting for new chapters.

Friend: More like you're just being lazy . . . .

Me: That too.

Friend: Anyway . . .

Me: Oh yeah! Sorry about the delay, lots of school work and stuff, but I finally I have a weekend without it! YAY!

~3rd Person~

A night-filled room, dripping with water and blood as a cage was place in the middle of a room. A younger man walked with purpose to the cage, very determined to get what he wanted. "Well, William, I'm surprised that you've lived this long." A sapphire eye shone through the darkness in the midst of the cage. Insanity and bloodthirsty thoughts roamed through his head as he stared down his capturer. There was the sound of moving chains as a man walked into the dim lighting wearing nothing but a pair of pants and chains attached to his wrists and ankles.

"Well, Mayor, I do have a lot to live for." William was no fool. He could tell when he was being lied to and the lie about his child being dead was a clear one. Angelus never would have let them get their hands on their baby. There was a sneer on the younger man's lips. The older Mayor, the one who had locked him in this god-forsaken cell, had died about five years ago. With that, his son took over. As it turned out, his son was crueler then his father. Before, William had only suffered starvation and dehydration from the old Mayor, but his son had ensured that he received whippings and burns. This caused Will to trend on the edge of insanity.

The only thing that kept him going was the thought of seeing Angelus and his child again. He dreamed of his child being a girl. One with long white hair, like her mother; or maybe it was a boy, who shared his own features but had his mother's eyes. No matter what he was certain that his child would have her eyes. They were just too beautiful not to share. He held on, enduring the whippings and burns, the starvation and lack of water, just for the pleasure to see his family again.

"Last chance, William. Swear your loyalty to us and you will be free from this torment." Sapphire eyes dulled to a dark blue for a split second. It would be a lie to say that he hadn't considered it. Of course he didn't believe in what they were doing, but the taste of freedom was so tempting. Still, he knew what it would mean if he gave in.

The imprisoned man lifted his right hand in a fist and stared at it. "Swear to what? To a religious group of lunatics who believe that God is everything and yet they do not have a clue as to what God is? To a village that murdered my mother, on the vague basis that she was a witch? Or maybe I should swear to you; the bastard who tortures me every day thinking its God's will while thinking at the same time, that he is God?" A deadly glare was thrown from both sides of the cage bars as the two men had a stare-down. "If God wants me to swear to the people who had taken everything from me, then fuck God."

There was a clang as the Mayor slammed his fist onto the cage bars in a violent rage. William didn't even flinch as he did this, but was weary as to what he said next. One wrong move when the Mayor was in this state of mind could mean the death of him. A small noise came from the younger man's lips before he burst out laughing. William stood there, not even bothering to explain to himself why the Mayor was acting like this. It was clear that he was insane, so there was no need for an explanation on his actions.

There was an eerie silence as the laugher ended. The Mayor smirked as he looked up at William. "Then you will die here. What a perfect ending for the son of a witch and the father of the devil." The Mayor straightened up and then turned to leave. "Goodbye, William Anderson."

Two other men walked into the room as the Mayor left; one carrying a chair and the other a whip. In a few short minutes, loud screams of agony could be heard throughout the village.

~Allen~

It had been an odd feeling; suddenly going from not having a mother to having one. To someone who's not an orphan, they probably would never understand. It wasn't like a relief, nor was it a happy occasion. If anything, it's awkward. It wasn't just the whole fact that I suddenly had a mother that it was awkward. It was the fact that she looked my age, was probably over three hundred years old, and was very, very motherly-like. Everything mixed together just made the whole situation awkward. Although, she didn't seem to think of it that way; in fact she was so ecstatic about it that I couldn't help but be relaxed when I was with her. She always had something to talk about.

I learned a lot from her stories. The romance she had with my father was short-lived but she had told me that it was the happiest year of her life. That was saying a lot when you were immortal. Before I knew it, a weight in my heart had been lifted. I hadn't even known that I had the weight there to begin with. But to know that I wasn't abandoned, it just gave me a feeling that I couldn't explain. Before I used to wonder what it would have been like if I did had parents who wanted me. Now, I didn't have to wonder. I knew that they had loved me and wanted me. They only separated themselves from me for my own safety, something I would always be grateful for.

About a week after the whole drama-fest ended, Angelus was able to move around. I had a mission about two days after the talk about my father, so I wasn't there to see her walk. It was saddening, but I had a job to do. I felt amazed at how attached I had gotten to Angelus since she had gotten here. It wasn't a clingy attachment, but one where now that I had finally gotten something good in my life that didn't have anything to do with Exorcists or Innocence I really didn't want to let it go. I had a mother. I wasn't about to let that go.

When I had gotten back from my mission, I went straight to the cafeteria. I was starving. I walked down the hall and through the doors, only to open them to see something astonishing. I stood frozen in place as I watched the scene before me unfold.

"Lavi, chew with your mouth closed!"

"Lenalee, be careful, you'll get your hair in your food."

"Kanda! You can't just eat that every day, you need your vegetables."

"Choiji, would you like some of these sweets? Jerry-san taught me how to make them."

"Timothy, wipe your mouth. There are lady's present!"

My mother, mind you she looked sixteen, was lightly smacking Lavi on the arm, pulling Lenalee's hair back, giving Kanda a plate of fruits and vegetables, offering Choiji some cookies, and using a slightly wet napkin to wipe Timothy's mouth. In other words, she was doing motherly things. This was something that was never seen in the Black Order. Not even Lenalee, who was the 'girlish' one in the Black Order had ever gone this far.

Angelus was moving from one side of the table to the other, with her wings out, only that they were relatively smaller then you would think them to be, giving people napkins and wiping whatever messes they made. She was doing it with a smile too.

What almost made me faint though was that they were all complying with her demands. Lavi immediately closed his mouth, Lenalee pulled back her hair into a small pony, Choiji was gladly helping himself to cookies, Timothy didn't struggle as she wiped his mouth clean and Kanda actually ate some of the vegetables. I twitched and tried to hold in my laughter. This was just too much.

It was then that she noticed me. "Allen!" She exclaimed as she ran over and hugged me. She was shorter than me, so she had to hug me at the waist, but her strength was stronger than expected, "Welcome home!" She said before letting go and smiling up at me. Before I could answer, she took my hand and dragged me to the table, sitting me down. "Wait here!" She told me before she went over to Jerry. I was so shell-shocked that I didn't know what to say.

She came back with plates of food. Only that the plates were floating in the air as she did this. I could only guess that it came with her being an angel, but it was still strange to see. When an entire feast was laid before me I could only gape at how she guessed how much food I normally ate. I was about to ask her when she answered for me. "Mothers know everything." With that she winked at me and handed me a small pile of napkins. I smiled a bit before digging into my food. "Allen! Don't eat too fast; you'll get a stomach ache!" I chuckled a bit. I could get used to having a mother.

~Angelus~

It wasn't long until I was able to walk again. Komui was kind enough to show me around. I found it very easy to get lost in the maze-like building. It wasn't long until I was hungry again, to which Komui decided to show me the cafeteria. I was amazed at its size and how many people it held. I could feel stares at my back as I walked in, but I ignored them. They weren't hurtful stares, just curious stares.

I walked up to the cook, I little unsure of what I should do. "Well, hello~ there! What a cute girl~!" I giggled as the flamboyant man complimented me. I liked him. "What can I do for you miss? I can make anything~!" I giggled once more at his enthusiasm.

"Can I start with spaghetti, Bratwurst, fettuccini alfredo, mashed potatoes, steak, French fries, a hamburger, pizza, garlic bread, and three ginger ales?" A bit smile erupted on the cook's face as I listed what I wanted. Of course, I was an angel and technically I didn't need to eat, but I enjoyed it immensely.

"Just two questions," he said before he got to work. I tilted my head to the side in curiosity, "How would you like your steak cooked and would you like gravy with your mashed potatoes?"

I grinned, I really was starting to like this man, "Medium rare, and yes on the gravy!" And so was the start of a beautiful friendship.
