2- The dream

Over the next few months, Elena had made many new friends in the order and outside the world. She met the Science Department, and Lenali's crazy, and lazy brother, Komui. She also met one of the scientist's son, Jean; Miranda Lotto, a unlucky, unconfident, and scared lady, Allistar Krory, a emo vampire that was locked up in his castle for half of his life, and many more. Her best friends are pretty much Lenali and Lavi. Elena will never know why but she was very good at making friends with boys. Lavi was an red-haired, 18 years-old boy who was to be the next bookman. A bookman in the order was supposed to record the important times in history besides war and injustice. Elena thought she wouldn't have anymore fun by playing poker, but she actually met a poor man named Tyki and his friends on a train who was a pro player. She owned all of them. They were nice people who didn't swear or hit her when they lost. She hoped she would meet them again for another game.

A couple weeks ago, Komui assigned Lavi and 'Allen' to a mission in a village in Spain. He said something about flying animals, demented people, and supposedly an innocence that is controlling these things to happen. They set off immediately. During the trip, Elena learned that the red-hair was glued to the attracted ladies. He followed them everywhere and he while he flirted, he offered some to Elena, who (obviously) declined.

"Lavi," She said one day after they completed the mission and retrieved the innocence. "We have to concentrate on finding that stupid finder." Somewhere during the travel, their finder got lost. How in the world does a finder gets lost? No one may never know. The drunken boy giggled, "Sure-hic- Allen." Lavi sat holding, a beer bottle, and bare-chested next to 'Allen'.

"Holy cow, your Gramps is right, without someone to control you, you're a mess." Elena pinched her nose. Lavi sniffed himself and went to go get a shower. "Hey Allen," He called. "If you want tomorrow, I can do your hair and dress you up for the ladies."

"God, you are such a pretty boy." She closed the book she was reading. "I can do my own hair. And we're going to go look for that village tomorrow." Lavi didn't answer, so Elena guessed that he was in the showers already. She looked at the clock. A quarter to eleven. Better go to bed. She thought. She went to the other bathroom and started to change into her pajamas.

After a while, in bed, she dreamt about many strange things. She dreamt that she was sitting in a room, with nothing but big white walls and indoor hallways. There was no window, no door except a mirror. She sat there looking at the window staring at the person who was everything that she had wanted to be. There she was wearing a beautiful blue, sapphire dress that followed her curves. It matched with her eyes. Her long, brown hair was tied up high into a ponytail. She was beautiful.

Suddenly, there were boys all around her. Cute and hot boys, all checking her out, and making her blush very much. Then one of the boys came to her, a tall, red-haired boy, with one sparkling green eye, the other patched up like a pirate. He snatched her from under and held her. Elena, right now, was bright red. Around her everything and everybody disappeared. She and Lavi were under a clear night sky, with the full moon. They were standing on a bridge under sparkling, glittering water that reflected a castle. It was so romantic. She thought. Her heart was thumping loudly against her chest and she knew Lavi heard it but he said nothing. They both closed their eyes as he pulled her close to his body and their lips met. His lips were warm, and she was living in a fantasy. She wanted this to last. It was a moment she couldn't forget. It was so vivid, so clear; she wondered if it was even a dream. The next thing she knew, she was falling into a empty black space. Akumas and monsters tear at her, ripping at her pretty dress and burning her long hair.

Soon enough she landed hard into a graveyard hill. Oh no. Not this again. She tried to get up but there were chains on her, binding her wrists and legs. Her hair was burned short as a boy and she felt weak beyond all reasons. There was Lenali crying and screams and yells of the people she knew and innocent people somewhere. There was one voice that made her body shook with fear, rage, and disappointment.

"Now Mana Walker, kill the girl and wear her!" She felt a burning pain against her left eye and a akuma charging at her. Mana, NO!!!

Light burst out of nowhere, murdering her eyes. She tried to sit up straight up couldn't. She was covered in cold sweat, her heart pounding in her chest, bed sheets tangled up around her body, and breathing hard.

"Allen." Elena turned to look at a shocked Lavi. "Are you all right? What happened?"

She tried to say something but it ended up as a rasped request for water. Lavi help propped her pillows and sit up. Later as she drank down the water and recovered from her nightmare, she spotted Lavi was staring at her as she had never seen before. "Lavi, are you okay?" she asked "You're drooling." Or am I still dreaming? Elena suddenly noticed something. Lavi was staring at her chest. Immediately she pulled the covers over it blushing in a light red color.

"It's not what you think." The words came out of her mouth like a stinky odor. He was still drooling. Finally he said softly. "How come you never told me?" Oh crap.
