Chapter Nine: Helplessly Controlled

Moonlight filtered in through old, sun-bleached, time-bleached lace-like curtains onto a medium sized bed, and the figure that lay there, motionless, aside from the slight rise and fall of restful breathing. Not a sound, no creak of the floor boards, not even the sound of the figure's breathing could penetrate the silence of the room.

A slight flutter of fabric when an arm moved put pressure against the shield of quiet, but it was shattered when the previously immobile figure slowly sat up with an exhale and the creaking of the bed.

It slid off the bed, hesitating when too much pressure was put on its left arm. When it was gone, the figure crept over to the window, momentarily distracted by the sight of the moonlight causing the whitened curtains to seemingly glow. A callous hand then swept the curtain aside and pushed the window open.

Creeping out of the window proved to be difficult, but the small figure managed it and stood, fully revealed, on the small balcony outside the window.

The figure proved to be Allen Walker, her grey eyes clouded by some unknown factor. She made her way to the edge of the balcony and carefully lifted herself over the railing and then down to the next ledge, which was on the side of the house. Getting down from there was easy, and all the cloudy-eyed Allen had to do was jump down.

Those clouded eyes flickered to consciousness, but it did not last long before the sharp aspect in her eyes faded away. The unaware girl walked silently away from the building, seeming to not care about staying in the shadows or walking in secrecy.

On the roof of a building not fifty feet away, two more figures watched the British exorcist walk steadily east, towards the center of the city. One giggled ever so slightly, a light and melodious laugh that would have been pleasant to the ears, were it not for the menacing undertone.

"Well, Tyki-pon. The cat need not draw out its prey, if it comes willingly," that soft, childish voice said, giggling again. The taller figure lit a cigarette and inhaled a sweet aromatic smoke, then exhaled a puff.

"Let us go catch our witless prey, then, dear Rhode," the silk-smooth voice of Tyki Mikk said, golden eyes lit up against dark skin, the well-known trait of one of the Noah clan.

They flitted away, disappearing and reappearing on random rooftops until they stood twenty feet east of the shuffling figure of Allen Walker. Rhode and Tyki floated down to stand in the middle of the street, waiting for the exorcist patiently.

About eight feet from the two, Allen stopped, her eyes fluttered shut, and she fell to the ground, crumpled into an unconscious pile.

"Ha! That was too easy!" Rhode muttered happily, if somewhat suspiciously.

"Check her first, Rhode. Make sure that she doesn't have any tricks up her sleeve. This one tends to be filled with surprises." Tyki said softly, exhaling another puff of smoke. Rhode did just that, bouncing over to the exorcist, whom she aimed a kick of her shiny shoes into the soft side of Allen's stomach. Her body flinched in reaction, and a soft groan was heard, but no movement else was seen.

"Well. It really was too easy. Now, let's-"

"Lady Rhode! Something is happening to the crystal!! Light is coming out of it and seems to burn the skin of anything that approaches! The Duke requests that you come back to Budapest immediately, and leave off everything here in Vienna!!" an Akuma cried, appearing from one of Rhode's doors that had, until this moment of urgency, had remained invisible and inactive.

"Ohhh...Do we have to??" Rhode sighed, knowing full well that, yes, they did have to. Tyki chuckled a little at the irony, but said nothing.

"Well, Tyki-pon. Let's go. Hey, grab that exorcist, now." Rhode said, directing the last at the news-delivering Akuma.

"If there is one extra scratch on her body, I will rip your body to shreds." the tiny girl said as she moved to a freshly conjured door. Tyki followed her quietly, pensively, and the Akuma nodded in understanding. It used its large claws to scoop the girl up, but then immediately dropped her, screeching in pain, shaking its hands as though they had suddenly caught fire.

Rhode and Tyki turned around to watch the Akuma writhe as it smacked at first its hands, then up its arms, as if the pain was spreading.

"What is wrong with you?" Tyki asked unconcernedly.

"The fire!!! It burns!! Aaagh!!! I can't-!!" At that time, the pain seemed to have spread to its throat and mouth and it could only screech in terror and agony. Rhode sent a flaming candle to pierce the thing's forehead, silencing it.

"Hmm." she murmured, arching an eyebrow. She approached Allen's sleeping body and poked it with her foot. Nothing happened. Tyki watched silently.

Rhode looked between the exploding corpse of the Akuma and the sleeping form of Allen Walker and made a small noise of interest. She reached out and poked the thin shoulder with a singular finger. She flinched when a spike of pain shot up her finger, surprising her. She stared at her finger in interest as the pain grew more agonizing as it spread into her hand, through her wrist, and up her arm. In a matter of seconds, the pain that had caused the Akuma to scream as though its very life were being ripped from its body in a most painful process was overwhelming Rhode's body. She simply detached herself from it, as the form she was wearing was not really her own, and made another noise of interest. Standing up, she turned to face Tyki, who stood quietly.

"There is certainly something interesting going on here." Tyki said softly, exhaling a puff of smoke. He could sense the pain surging through Rhode's false body, though only distantly.

"It must be her Innocence," Rhode said quietly.

"What do you think it means?" she asked as she wrapped her hand around Allen shirt and began dragging the not-so-heavy body towards the door.

"I am not sure. In any case, let us go home and figure out what is going wrong with the crystal."

It was like water had surrounded her, invading her lungs, stealing her air, sucking out her life. She could not move, could not speak; her mind panicked and screamed. It was deafening. It was terrifying.

Darkness was stealing (growing) into her mind, corrupting and burning, freezing and eradicating. She could feel nothing, hear nothing, see...nothing. But she knew the darkness was there (coming from inside her); creeping, sneaking through her mind.

She was suffocating, drowning, burning alive (save me from this hell); felt her soul fall into pieces a million times over, but still she felt nothing.

This senseless torture went on for hours and hours, as far as she knew, until finally, amidst all the chaos, finally she truly felt something (with heart, body and mind). A calling; begging, crying, screaming in need. At first, it was almost as agonizing as the torture, but soon she realized that that was the source of her torture.

And she realized that she was nearing the desired object. She did not know this, but felt it. A sense of relief was gaining ground in her unfeeling body, something that allowed her (nonexistent?) body and mind to relax. Soon, very soon, she would have what she (or was it someone else?) needed desperately.

Its bright light chased away all the darkness, all the burning (all the unfeeling). Somewhere in her body, something cried with joy and reached out (with an innocent heart) to the bright light, showing no fear.

She could not help but reach forth as well, warmth spreading through her body, waiting with outstretched arms.

(Come to me little one, where we shall join together. I have been waiting for a long time.)

And there's the end!! ^_^ Sorry it's so short..
