Chapter 10

Erik knows the Noah?

As the last rays of the sun disappeared to leave room for the night, a lone woman watched the sky turn darker.

"Miss Salome do you want some more tea before I take my leave?" The house keeper asked.

"Just warm some water for me Olivia." Salome tells her, to which Olivia nodded and went out in the hall and down the stairs to the first floor of the house Salome Melech had lived in her entire life. Her family may not have been nobles but they were still better off than most people in the town and the surounding area.

Salome thought about what Lord Michael had suggested so many times. But her fiance had promised to come back, but now months after he had left no one knew where he were or if he was still alive. Salome sighed and went downstairs for her tea.

Olivia had put a teapot on the oven and now it made a whistling sound. Salome grabbed a towel and turned around to the table across the room, and without saying Olivia had placed a big teacup and beside it a piece of chocolate cake. She shrugged Olivia always knew what she wanted even without her saying anything. She chose some strawberry tea and prepared her cup before taking it and the cake to one off the back rooms in the house.

This room was filled with music notes scattered on the floor and music instruments in the room. In the middle of the room a black grand piano was standing. Salome carefully put the teacup and cakeplate down on top of it and started playing the piano while singing.

"Teach me the sadness hidden inside...

With your eyes closed, no longer will you see the aching sorrow buried in your heart.

If you forget the warmth inside, no longer will the twisting pain bring tears to your eyes..."

"I'm not sure myself he had it when he came here." The priest answered Kanda.

"Wait,wait,wait,cross marks? I haven't heard anything about this." Lavi said looking from Kanda to the priest and then back again.

"He has the same cross marks around his wrist as the Noahs." Kanda answers.

"Noah didn't have marks like that according to the bible." Susanna said looking confused and so did the priest.

"Ah, no, where talking about someone else. Maybe you should go to bed instead of listening to our rambles." Lenalee said to which the confused priest and Susanna went out the door and back to there respective bedrooms.

"So back to square one where he might be a Noah or atleast have something to do with them." Lavi said and sighed.

"Maybe not, and he can't remember anyway so maybe we should just leave him be?" Lenalee suggested.

"Even if he isn't a Noah he might know something about them." Link said in his normal strict tone.

"I haven't seen a Noah with marks on there wrist." Lavi said.

"What if the mark is how soulsellers won't be attacked by the akumas they help make?" Link said he would certainly tell Leverrier and then who nows what would happen to Erik.

"You guys it's getting late let's go to bed and think this over in the morning instead?" Lavi suggested. Kanda was the first to leave with Link following. When Lavi was about to walk back to his room Lenalee grabbed his sleeve making him turn around.

"They won't do something bad to Erik right? Just like they have Link following Allen everywhere?" Lenalee said looking down.

"I'm not sure. But memorys don't come back during stress so they probably won't try that at first." Lavi tryed to reassure her. He knew Lenalee had spent alot of time playing with Erik instead of worrying about Allen, who still seemed very sick. Lenalee nodded alittle and went back to her room and so did Lavi.

On his way back to his borrowed room Lavi thought about what he had got to know. Erik sure was mysterious. One day he just appears out of nowhere and then he forgets everything the next morning. Could the Earl or one of the Noahs have something to do with it? He hadn't seen or heard of any Noah with powers that could make people forget everything. But if things went on like this Erik would have to be questioned by Central, not that he would mind. He didn't seem to care about what happened around him, but the priest did say he allways was like that when he just forgot things.

Lavi scratched his head. He had heard of people losing memorys before even meet some people who had but they hadn't forgot even half as much as Erik did. Atleast they knew about things he did barley remember how to walk. But he did remember things when he did do it. Like reading after you read the first page of a book to him he could read most of the rest himself, aside from some words. Susanna had also told them he could write but Lavi hadn't seen him do it. And ofcourse the piano, Erik could play it and read the music notes.

"Man, this dosen't look to good for him." Lavi said facpalming himself. If Erik could play the Fourteens song just like Allen he would certainly get looked up. But maybe... If Erik couldn't read Timcanpys lyrics he wouldn't be a Noah, or atleast it would be very farfetched.
