Allen closed his eyes slowly, waiting to have his heart ripped out of fingers, those gloved fingers that didn't leave a mark on him as they played with his insides. Tyki's fingers, he felt them tighten around his quick beating just didn't get how that was possible.

Though terrified, Allen did his best not to show it, glaring at the group of strange people before him.

"Who are you people?" Allen asked not removing his gaze from the small group.

"We are the family of Noah, and we wanted to welcome you to our family, properly." The girl who sat on the umbrella smiled, unwrapping a lollipop and licking it happily.

"What do you mean?" Allen questioned, still trying his best not to pay attention to Tyki who still had his hand wrapped around his heart.

"You're one of us, Allen Walker. Nothing more than that." Tyki stated, removing his hand slowly from Allen's chest.

"What are you talking about? What is 'the family of Noah' what is this 'us' you're talking about? Am I supposed to be impressed by all of this? Your stupid magic tricks? This is all a dream! I know it is!" Allen questioned, looking directly at the fat 'man' before him.

"We, the clan of Noah, are the original thirteen vampires and one disappointment that started it all." Tyki explained and Allen nodded, still slightly confused.

"Sadly though, Skinn was killed by your precious Kanda a few hundred years ago." The girl said with a frown. She popped the candy back in her mouth and sighed.

"Why did you kill this man?" Allen asked gesturing to Neah's lifeless form.

"Haha~ He isn't dead!" The blonde haired twin laughed, pointing his golden gun to his brother's head. His brother held his own gun to the blonde's head and grinned.

"Not dead at all~" His brother continued

"What do you mean 'he isn't dead'?! You shot him in the fucking face in case you've forgotten!" Allen yelled gesturing, once again, to Neah's body.

"Not dead~ Not dead~ Not dead~" The blonde brother sang and his brother laughed.

"The idiots mean, he's just wearing a sheep's clothing for the time being." Tyki stated, holding his head in annoyance as the twins continued to laugh.

"But why did you kill him?!" Allen repeated sternly.

"Tried to kill~ He tried to kill~" The blonde brother sang, half laughing as if it was all a big joke.

"He tried to kill the Earl!" His brother finished, shoving his golden gun back to it's place, pressed up against his brother's head.

"Okay...Who's the sheep then?" Allen asked curiously.

"You~" The twins sang in union.

Allen gasped as he woke, covered in a cold sweat that he wished he could wash off immediately. He sighed when he remembered he couldn't. Kanda mumbled something in his sleep and rolled over so his back was to Allen.

Allen sighed once again and stood, his legs slightly wobbly, and made his way to the open door. The early morning sunlight blinded him momentarily as he peered around the corner to see the amount of bustle was on deck. The cool wind ruffled his hair and he took in a deep breath, momentarily happy with the action. Allen exhaled and felt the familiar hint of disappointment when his breath didn't float away like it used to. He wasn't alive anymore. His body was cold. His heart beat slowly. Dead, yet alive.

After noticing the crowd, Allen quickly ducked back inside. He slumped to the floor next to Kanda and began drumming his fingers on the floor.

"I hate this. What the hell did that dream mean?! They all mean something! And that dream made no fucking sense!" Allen yelled, punching at the ground, denting the thick metal slightly.

"Allen. Stop yelling and punching. Someone will hear you." Kanda warned, grabbing Allen's fist before he could strike the ground again.

"Easy for you to say." Allen stated, pulling his hand back. "You're not dreaming of fat men, murders, singing dolls, and...and a group of vampires that said one of them is fucking inside of me, fucking inside of me. What is that all about, huh? No, Kanda. You aren't dreaming of psychopathic twins who hold guns to each others heads, a girl who sits on a flying pink umbrella, and you certainly not dreaming of Tyki trying to rip out your heart."

Allen sniffled, and wiped his teary eyes. "It was too real, Kanda. Way too real. Why would I dream something like that?! Is it going to come true? Are you guys all going to die by my hands alone? Please, Kanda, tell me it won't happen. Ever."

"Allen, it was only a dream. It will not and cannot happen. Please believe me about this, okay?" Kanda said, pulling Allen close and kissing him gently.

"I believe you." Allen smiled, kissing Kanda back.

"If you two are going to do that, then me and Lavi will too!" Tyki called from the corner, where he pulled Lavi closer.

"Get off of me. I'm trying to sleep here." Lavi whined and pushed Tyki off. He snickered and moved back to Lavi's side with a smirk. Lavi sighed, giving up, allowing the elder vampire to move closer.

"Are they asleep again?" Allen giggled once they were quiet once again.

"It seems like it." Kanda grinned.

"How much longer do you think?" Allen questioned with a sigh, pulling his legs close and resting his head on his knees.

"Two days at the most." Kanda commented

"Kanda! I can't wait that long to eat." Allen frowned and Kanda chuckled at the bit of immaturity

"Moyashi," Kanda started

"My name is Allen." Allen corrected

"Allen, would you mind calling me by my first name?" Kanda asked.

"I'll make sure to do that." Allen smiled, hugging Kanda tightly.
