( Sorry this chapter is short. I barely got time to write this week. Once again my bro kicked me out of my computer because he had university homework. bleh! And also sorry this chapter is confusing but I tend to try to make the reader feel just like Allen does. )

Chapter 11: Week
" Allen... "
" Allen! "
Gently, deep clear eyes opened toward a faint light. A white haired teen boy stared at the far away unknown. He stared at what seemed to be the dark night sky. Tiny drops of liquid fell onto his face. Everything was blurry. His head hurt. Allen felt as his body ached and as though he had just awakened form a deep slumber. What was it that fell onto his face? This cold drops of liquid that now fell down his dry cheek. What was it? Allen felt a strange sensation of emptiness. Why did he feel empty? Why could he not move his body? What could it be? What was...?
Allen suddenly widened his eyes. A black man, Noah skin actually, gently slipped his finger from up Allen's hair, till he reached his soft chin. He seemed to caress Allen's cursed mark. Allen could not see well what this figure was, he couldn't even tell if it was human. But something he did know what that he was scared. Scared of this man. Scared of this liquid that fell to his face. So extremely terrified, his blood froze, his body felt cold. Allen could feel panic, hopelessness, pain, suffering, guilt and nostalgia. He could not even come to tremble as his body was fully unmovable.
Wait. That smell. Allen almost felt as his consciousness would leave but it didn't. The smell was making him dizzy. He battled to stay awake. As best as he could. But even so it was a pain to even breath. His lungs hurt and his heart throbbed. This smell, it was blood. The nostalgic smell of blood. Where had he smelled that blood before?
Allen suddenly felt a sharp pain pass trough his ears. He suddenly felt the strong sensation of vomiting. Almost felt like if he were to vomit the pain would go away. Strong footsteps, that of a horse ran through a valley. He stared at it. He saw the rapid carriage of a man and his two horses pass beside him. Allen stared at it in fear and confusion for a moment but soon. very very soon , fear and awe vanished from his being. An empty shell of nothingness was all that was he. He wished to feel emotions, just as he did before but he didn't. He wished so much he could but nothing, nothing happened.
What were this horses? Why were they falling to the ground bleeding? Why was the man headless. He should be scared right? He should be sad right? But why? Why had his feelings vanished so suddenly. Why had this happened? Why ? Why couldn't his shouting tears roll down?
Where was everybody? Where was he? Why was this hand caressing his cursed cheek. The hand was cold and yet warm. It was gentle and yet harsh. It felt nice and yet it was painful. Why had the horses died? Why was he alone on the floor? Where was he? Allen engulfed himself in even more questions as pain be felled him.
" Neah... " He whispered.
" Is this your doing, Neah? "
Allen tried to roll his head up as to find just who the hell was caressing him but didn't seem to be able to do so. He could literally just not come to move anything. Nothing but his crumbled lips.
" ALLEN! "
Allen quickly stood up from the cold floor. He felt a sharp deep pain. He could not bear it and screamed to his lungs dropped on fetus position on the floor. He held his head with his hands and could not tell why but soft liquids still fell onto his face. He felt as arms tried to hold him down. As soft arms tried to pin him down to the floor. As they tried to take away his freedom to hold his face. He heard a commotion around him, he could not really tell who or what. He heard the shouts and cried of numerous people. All the figures were disfigured so he really couldn't tell who.
Time passed, eternal time, not really knowing why Allen felt as he tried to calm his nerves down but didn't seem to be able to. His heart beat so hard it made him spit out vomits of blood each time his heart bit. What was this pain? What the hell? What, what was he doing before? What was the last thing he could remember?
...who...
Who was he anyway?
" Allen! " Allen suddenly felt a warm sensation of a hug. He stared in terror as all the figures cleared. He could clearly see who were in front of him but at the same time he didn't. His brain tried to figure what was there, who were there and where they were but couldn't just seem to get it. He looked around and heard voices. He clearly heard what they said also but just as the figures, it was hard to understand what they were saying. No, he could just not understand and what they were saying, he could not even understand the meaning of their expressions.
" Allen! Allen! Allen are you ok! Allen! " A green haired girl shook his body as she held onto his shoulders. Tears fell from her cheeks as she stared at the boy who stared at nothing. Who had no light in his eyes.
Komui gritted his teeth and punched a fence that was beside a giant hole. " Damn it Hevlaska what did you do! "
Hevlaska made no expression. " Nothing Komui, I just read his synchro rate. I don't really know why he got like that. "
" Allen get yourself together please! " Lenalee cried on his shoulders. She quickly looked up towards Komui. " Ni-san, what shall we do! Allen doesn't respond! "
" Tsk! " Komui ran towards Allen and slapped his face. He expected a reaction but nothing, absolutely nothing. " Allen what's wrong! Is it you innocence! Does it hurt! "
Komui raised Allen's red arm. " Let me see! "
Komui widened his eyes. Nothing was wrong with his innocence, absolutely nothing. It was just fine. No injury, nothing. Allen's cursed eye was even back to normal. There was nothing wrong with his physical body so just what was it that was wrong with him? Just a moment Allen had been just fine. Ever since the day he woke up to go towards the order he seemed cheerful as ever. He even helped them out on a mission and everything so just what the heck was wrong?
Yes he had been quiet most of the time but the truth was that during the whole time Komui could not feel any aura of sadness from him. In fact, he felt the complete contrary. All he could feel from the boy was a strong sensation of happiness. Of a person who had just become free. But as soon as Hevlaska studied him he got like this, so just what the hell? Shit! Cross wasn't lying when he said the stupid kid was crazy!
Allen who had been oblivious to it all up till now, stared at the two. Even now he could not come to understand anything. No thinking, no anything, but still, slowly and almost like a great peace he felt as it all hit him.
Lenalee could suddenly feel Allen's arm tighten onto hers. She looked up and looked at the boy who stared at her in nothing but shock.
" A - Allen? " She sobbed in a mix of concern and relief. Finally he had regained consciousness it seemed but still why was he so shocked?
Allen looked around. He looked up toward the huge light being that stood before them. " H - huh? "
He saw as he was inside some type of building that resembled a castle and as Lenalee and Komui stared at him with concern and asked him thousands of things to assure he was ok.
" Lenalee? Komui ? "
" Allen thank goodness! Are you ok! What happened! "
Lenalee tightened her hug. " You got all weird as soon as Hevlaska touched you, at first I thought you were ok but the - then - "
" Allen was Hevlaska too much for you? She wasn't going to hurt you! " Komui shouted at Allen. " Geez, Exorcists have always feared her but not as extreme as you! "
Allen blinked. " H - Hevlaska? "
" Allen don't you remember? We left the hospital, went towards a mission and arrived! Don't you remember? "
" Remember? " Allen looked down." I don't know. "
" Huh ? - " Lenalee's words were cut out by Allen.
" Weren't we at the hospital right now? I went to sleep and then, what? ; where are we? "
Komui and Lenalee's eyes struck with horror and a slight realization. Komui quickly leaned down towards Allen.
" Allen what are you talking about? " Komui quickly asked forcefully. " We are at the black order remember? "
Allen looked at him with not much emotions. He smiled a bit. " Not really, we were at the hospital right? With Lavi? "
Lenalee pressed Allen's shoulders hiding her eyes under her hair's shadows. " Allen, Lavi left with bookman towards a mission a week ago."
" Bookman? "
" Lenalee... " Komui tried to comfort her.
Komui quickly turned to Allen again. This time with obvious fear." Allen it's been an entire week since we left the hospital! "
Allen widened his eyes. " How can you possibly not remember that entire week? "
" You spoke with us, you laughed with us, you were so happy and comfortable with us. We even talked about your past, so what do you mean by that... " Lenalee battled to speak the words out as she barely understood. Was he really crazy or was it something else. Her hair almost froze as the thoughts hit her. Who had they talked to during the past week? Was it Allen or? Did he have some type of split personality?
Allen on the other hand faked not knowing what had happened. He knew, he perfectly knew what had happened. He had been possessed by Neah. Shit! This was the second time wasn't it? But for a whole week. How sickening, how disgusting, how foolish to just have that bastard walk around faking to be him. Why had he come out? How much time did he lasted and why? Damn him...
Allen sighed. " Don't worry about it much guys. "
He didn't even give a chance to neither of the exorcists to continue to talk as he got up like if nothing had happened. He smiled and looked up at Hevlaska. " Are you Hevlaska? "
" Yes. "
" I see... " He turned around as to look back at the startled exorcists.
" Don't worry much about it, I'm fine right? ; You are fine so who cares. "
Lenalee and Komui exchanged worried faces.
Yeah I know I jumped a bit but I really had to do something to make it interesting again. The dragging out is killing me!
Please review and comment, tips if possible, thx.
