Hello everyone, as promised this is chapter ten. I'm so glad that many of you that left comments enjoyed it made really made my day. Just as much as those that added this to their favorites or alerted section.

Anyway, let me not procrastinate anymore. Remember to comment (my inspiration) or to fav/alert.

I don't own D gray man!

"N-never human?!" was the shocked stuttered response. Tears flowing down my cheeks. My head it… it hurts! I fell to my knees and gripped my head. It's like a monster was trying to rip my skull open and emerge into the world. I didn't notice when Scarlet left, leaving me to my own pain. Memories flashed by quick. Some brightly lit. Others impossible to see. Voices and sound a jumbled mix. But none felt like my own.

They were mine, but they weren't as well. The memory rush trickled to a stop. From what seemed to me, the beginning of my memories. I knew I was kneeled at the floor, but I felt like my body or spirit was floating.

Yet…. Seeing my memories?

As if I had no control of my body, I shakily got up and robotically walked to the bed. I toppled over, face down, as my eyes closed.

I felt myself awaken inside the dream, eyes blurry with sleep. And although I knew I was in a dream and thus asleep and not awake, I felt very much awake. Yet I knew this to be the illusion that dreams draped over our minds with, to allude us from reality. In this dream of mine, I was nothing but a specter. Not allowed to do anything. Only to observe the scene before me. But there was no scene, only the blankness of a mind asleep. And as if that thought had been a command, white suddenly surrounded me.

I was floating in green gel like substance. A mask covered my nose and mouth, providing oxygen. Everything was blurry because of the gel and thus the figures were almost impossible to identify. My other senses were useless to me now. I vaguely saw long curly red hair and a long white lab coat. 'Scarlet' my mind alerted me. But my body did not react. She had her arms above her in magnificent gesture, as if smug for some sort of achievement. I wanted to squint and see who the two figures were a little further from Scarlet. But there was no need for me to squint. Both figures stepped forward, they were too far for me to recognize, but I knew one was male and the other female. Vibrations swam through the gel. 'Are they arguing?' I wondered. The man and woman stepped forward with angry gestures, causing Scarlet to drop hers arms tilt her head. Two assistance of hers came and restrained them. Their superior strength halting all motion. Scarlet must have said something, because the assistance dragged them away. The vibrations turning turbulent in the gel. Then something clicked in my head. 'Were those my parents?' I thought mortified.

The world lurched around me again.

This time my world was painted in orange. Heat licked at the edge of the tank. The gel cold enough to keep me from cooking. I could not see pass the glass again. 'Fire' my mind sleepily said. Then there was a rush as the glass was broken and the gel splashed onto the floor. I slumped to the bottom of the tank. Muscles weak and completely nude. Soft hands removed the mask and I breathed air for the first time. My eyesight was blurry. Soft words were whispered to me. A coat was draped over my form and I was picked up by strong arms. I shivered, my skin cold. 'What's happening?' I thought to myself, 'this memory… is confusing.' Whoever was carrying me must have started running. My body moving in random directions. There was shouting, but the words made no sense to my body in the memory.

My world went blank in the dream. I was standing in darkness, the coat my only piece of clothing. "It's so cold, very cold. A young voice whispered. I wanted to ask who the owner of the voice was, but I couldn't. "Its freezing cold….. So dark." I nodded in agreement. "Black like a void hidden deep in nothing." I added. A small light appeared in front of me. I gasped. Before me, stood… me!? I … he reached out to me and touched my cheek. His hand so cold and transparent like. "How we got here, we do not recall. Except for something's here and there." His voice soft, sad, small like a child. My body moved on its own. Placing my hand over my look alike and leaning my head into his head more into his hand. "We do remember the red, the red of flowing blood spilling into the cold ground." I heard myself respond. He smiled, eyes half closed, dead like. "The screams and moans of pain, much worse than those that one would hear from stories of hell." he said. "We vaguely remember the smell of smoke." I responded. "Making us churn with this disgust and… hate?" he asked as his image started to disappear like sparkling dust in the wind. "But why? What happened… to me?" I whispered into the darkness.

A sudden gust blew around me. I grabbed the coat tightly to myself and braced myself. But no danger came in this darkened world. Sheets of paper flew by me, my eyes widening. As I saw the same memory of my parents arguing as I eavesdropped on them. The sheets turned into autumn leafs and I had to blink as the scenery changed once again. I was running, my hand gripped tightly by my mother. Father was leading the way. I tripped over a root causing my mother to stop, my shout halting my father. He came back and picked me up, urging my mother to start running again. I looked over his shoulder and saw the mansion, my home, burning to the ground. The smell of smoke thick in the air. There was shouting and gunshots. Afraid, I buried my head into my father's chest.

I felt a tingling sensation spread throughout my body.

I lifted my head and blinked slowly. 'A….. Picnic?' I sleepily thought. My eyes widened. 'n-no… I-I don't want to remember this again.' I weakly thought. All of a sudden, everything sped up as if in fast forward. My head spun a little. But it stopped as soon as time returned to normal. Two men in white pointed guns at my parents, they had been waiting by our car. It looked like it happened in slow motion.

Click!

Bang!

Bang!

Two shots. That's all it took to ruin such a happy day. My parent's brief screams silenced forever. Their bodies falling to the wet ground with a dull thud. Blood staining the puddles. I took a step back, my frame shaking. The two men moved quickly, not giving me time to react. One of them restrained me and the other placed a cloth over my nose and mouth. The world once again faded into darkness.

When I came to again, I found myself in the green gel tank again. The only difference being that I could see better now. Before me stood Scarlet with a twisted grin stretched on her young face. "Goodnight Allen, I'll see you in a couple of years." She said. Before my mind once again faded into darkness.

This time no more memories plagued my mind and I was allowed to sleep. But worry, confusion, and fear settled into my stomach.

Well that's it for chapter 10, I hope it wasn't too confusing. Personally it's one of my favorite chapters.

I might not update in a while, so apologize in advance, but it doesn't mean I won't try either way.

Anyway remember to leave a review or to fav/alert!

Arigato! Ja ne!
