Chapter 1: The Mysterious Fog

Traveling above the forest as fast as his innocence will allow him to, Lavi and Lenalee stand on top desperately looking for their missing friend. Lavi glanced at his companion and could see and feel from her leaning on him that she was tired.

"Look Lenalady, nobody is gonna be mad. You look worn out, you could..." Lavi was cut off again but listened to her softened plead.

"I'm fine. More importantly, we have to hurry... We have to hurry and help those two... I saw a really bright light in the sky. No matter how hard I searched... I couldn't find them..!" Lavi didn't need to use his training to tell how she felt, he could hear it in her voice and feel her warm tears on his damaged jacket.

Damn! Lenalee wasn't kidding about what she said on the train before we met Krory and Eliade.

*flashback*

"Hey Lenalee, why did you slap Allen? What did do-no, WHEN did he do anything?" Lavi was curious, he saw her slap him but he couldn't hear anything that they said. Lenalee paused in opening the door but didn't turn around to look at him while she spoke.

"It was back from when we were fighting Road and the akuma when we found Miranda. There was a level 2 akuma that was told to self-destruct in 10 seconds and Allen tried to save it because of the human soul in it. He wasn't going to make it in time and I pushed him away from the explosion and he got really mad about it. Road and him kept talking about his curse but I don't get what that had anything to do with self-destruction."

"There had to be a reason for it, maybe you should ask him so it doesn't repeat and we can learn more about how the akuma work." When he said that Lenalee finally turned around and showed that she was still crying.

"But Lavi, I don't want him to see that I regret what I did in any way. I love him Lavi, just like everyone else in the order. He's my nakama, my little brother, my friend, a piece of my world that will fall apart each time a member of my family is taken by this forsaken war, and he has already lost so much, I just don't want him to lose what he has just started to gain." Lenalee bowed her head and began to sob as Lavi pulled her in to a hug to comfort her.

As Lenalee calmed down, Lavi looked around and saw something missing and voiced his thoughts.

"Hey, where's Allen?"

Lenalee and Lavi exchanged glances and both thought "Oh crud".

*end flashback*

Lavi was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Lenalee mumble something into his jacket.

"I still *hic* haven't said that I for-*hic*-give him for the akuma *hic*"

"Oh Lenalady, you can still tell him. This is the beansprout we are talking about. He will be banged up but he will bounce back. Just you watch." He told her as much as himself. He had to be the strong one out of the two. If not for each other but for Allen. Lavi gritted his teeth and continued "We will find them."

Lenalee nodded her head and flashed him a small smile and they went back to looking for their friend.

Not too far from them though, an explosion was caused by the akuma chasing after a small but fast golden golem.

The moon... It looks so large.

No...

Don't come near me.

I'm still...

Still...

The two exorcists looked towards the explosion in confusion and saw what was happening. Lenalee jumped off the hammer and headed for the akuma.

"WAIT LEN-"

"Lavi I'll be fine. Go on ahead and leave this to me. I will catch up when I get Timcanpy and the akuma are destroyed. Hurry Lavi, somethings wrong if Tim isn't with Allen." Lavi's eye got wider when he heard Allen's name. He quickly went back in the direction they were going and saw fog gathering.

"Lenalee, be careful. Something bad has happened." Lenalee nodded her head and sped off towards the missiles to save the injured golem.

Lavi landed on the forest floor since he couldn't fly around anymore. This was where Allen and Suman were last seen and he couldn't see anywhere from above with all the fog. What is up with this fog. this is more like... "sand." Lavi kept walking around and smelled a foul smell that smelled like "death. ALLEN, ALLEN WHERE ARE YOU? AL-" Lavi was cut off as he tripped on something. " Why am I always getting cut off, I man geez. *pouts* Huh, whats this? A c..." Lavi's eye widen in fear and shaking, said "A card. Oh shit, Allen."

As he got up he froze as he saw what he tripped on.

"ALLEN!"
