A/N: Compared to the word count, I swear I wrote more...*sigh* well, nevermind. Do you know what sucks? Having a test right after March break :( Fuuuuuuuck.
Previously
She wiped her eyes and found a black streak on her hand. Black tears? No. Just smudged mascara. She gave a dry laugh and put her head in her arms. Why was she thinking of stupid things like this and caring about such small details when something horrible just happened?
She held her face and cried harder. Now the only sounds heard were distraught wails and cries from heartache.
Lenalee POV
I fell asleep not long after and entered my first dream. It was pitch black and I could hardly see my own hands. Out of the corner of my vision, I saw a cream coloured door that glowed faintly. My legs felt like lead but I forced myself to walk over to it anyway. I reached for the door knob, but noticed that there wasn't one. I gently tapped the door, it opened wide and I walked in.
At once I was greeted with the sight of a man wearing a top hat sitting on a white couch. The room was small and everything in here was white.
"Hello, Lenalee." You couldn't see his eyes, but you could see his mouth, which was adorned with a smile.
"Who are you?" My voice was soft and I thought he didn't hear it.
"Me?" He laughed, for a reason I was oblivious to. "My name's Mana." My eyes widened a fraction.
"Allen's foster father?" My voice sounded shocked as he nodded.
"Sit down, child. I have many things to tell you." He motioned to the couch across from him and I walked over. My steps felt lighter and I hardly made a sound on the floor. I eased myself gently on the couch and he offered me a cup of tea. I accepted and took a small sip. It was delicious. He got comfortable and faced me again.
"Do you know about anything that's happening right now?" He asked, watching me take small sips of tea. I shook my head and he sighed. "I thought Allen would be smarter." He mumbled and I let out a small giggle. "Anyways, do you think this is a dream?" I tilted my head in confusion.
"Of course. I fell asleep, so this is a dream." I stated and he shook his head at me.
"No, this is real." I furrowed my eyebrows but waited for him to continue. "It's true your physical body isn't here, but your mind and soul is. Tell me," He walked over to me and sat beside me. I placed my cup down ages ago and he took my hand. "can you feel this," He pinched me and I winced, but didn't retract my hand. "smell this," He raised the teacup to my nose and I inhaled. "can you taste it, can you see it, can you hear me?" He looked me in the eye. I nodded my head dumbly. "Whenever you're in a dream, there's always one sense that isn't there. I have just proved to you that you have all of your senses. Can you trust me?" He asked.
"Yes." This was impossible, but it was happening anyways. I had a hundred questions to ask him, but I'm pretty sure he was going to answer them for me. He let go of my hand and walked back to his seat and sat down.
"You exist in two different universes. This one, and one called D. Gray-Man. In D. Gray-Man, you are an exorcist and you kill weapons known as akuma." He explained everything to me and showed me my memories. The first few were okay, but after that, it was painful. All those experiments. I'm glad I couldn't feel the pain. "Lastly, you can't tell anyone about the 'real world' as you call it." I nodded my head, trying to soak up all the information. I sorted through my memories and felt depressed when I saw Allen and Kanda. I laughed at their attitudes towards each other and Mana looked at me in shock and confusion.
"Sorry, it's just that Allen and Kanda act so different!" I laughed at more memories. Mana gave a sad smile before brightening up again.
"That's all the information I have for you, if you want to know more, go to Allen and Kanda! Bye!" A second later, my mind caught up to his words and I was about to ask him why I should talk to Allen and Kanda, but he was already gone.
The white walls disappeared and it was replaced with a room. My room in this universe. I was sitting on the edge of the bed and I looked around. It was decorated with posters but that was about it. I remembered Mana's word and shot up. I have to go find Allen and Kanda! But...didn't he tell me not to talk to anyone about this? My steps faltered and I paused in front of the door. To hell with it.
I yanked the door open and shot down the hall. Right before I left my room, I checked my clock and it said that it was 12: 38. Everyone should be down in the cafeteria around now. I slid around corners and apologized to anyone I bumped into. I looked around the cafeteria and a lot of people were giving me weird looks. I blushed and stood straighter. Why was getting so worked up? They weren't on a mission, so they're definitely in the building somewhere.
I exited the cafeteria and walked to the sleeping quarters again. I'll go find Allen first. I walked to Allen's room by memory and knocked on the door. I heard some shuffling and a door closing before Allen opened the door.
"Lenalee?" I stared at him and noticed something different. There was...a green glow around him. I looked backwards at another exorcist, but they didn't glow. I looked back at Allen and he was staring at me as well. "Lenalee!" Allen shouted and pulled me in the room. His face was filled with delight and he hugged me.
"You logged on!" His smile was blinding and joy was bursting from his eyes. Kanda peeked his head out of the closet and looked at me before gaping. I smiled and hugged Allen back. I felt tears prick the corners of my eyes before falling down. At once, Allen's face turned worried, and Kanda exited the closet.
"What's the matter?" Kanda walked over and asked.
"You're...here. Alive." I choked out and rubbed my eyes. I gave a quiet sob but forced down the rest. Allen's eyes turned sad before they had an angry edge to it.
"I'm sorry." Allen's voice was quiet and I shook my head. It wasn't their fault.
"What did they say about our death?" Kanda asked and I looked at him.
"Suicide." Allen snorted and crossed his arms.
"Far from it. It was murder." He growled and Kanda nodded. I looked confused and Allen clarified. "Cross pushed Kanda and I off the cliff." He scowled and Kanda put his hand on Allen's head, telling him to calm down. Allen pouted and turned the other way. Cross? I thought of the red-haired man who was Allen's master.
We talked about everything that happened and Allen and Kanda told me more information about this world. This is why Mana told me to talk to them. They told me that you could only come here if you had a traumatic experience. Allen lost Mana, Kanda lost Alma, and I lost Allen and Kanda.
"I'm so glad your here." Allen's eyes softened and I held his hand.
"So am I."
"Can you tell the Noah what happened?" He asked and I nodded my head. I met them a few times now, and they weren't so bad.
"I'll keep you updated on the real world." They nodded and I heard a piercing scream.
"Lenalee-chan!" I grimaced but then smiled. No matter how annoying he was, he still sacrificed his own freedom for me. He gave up everything just to stay with me. I stood up from the couch.
"I'll see you later!" I opened Allen's bedroom door and waved good-bye. I closed the door and paused a moment there. I gave a small smile of happiness. Sure things turned out bad, but maybe it's going to get better now.
"Coming, Komui!" I yelled back, causing a passing finder to block his ears. I apologized but he just waved me away, saying it was fine. Yes, everything was definitely going to get better.
OOOOOOOOOO
Real world
I woke up a little later and rubbed my sore eyes. My face felt tear streaked and the mascara got all over my face. I entered the washroom and washed my face. It was early in the morning and sadly, it was a school day. I had to leave early today because I had to talk to the Noah about what happened. I don't think they've heard of the news yet.
OOOOOOOOOO
I opened the door carefully and poked my head in. Road noticed me first and gave me a smile. I let myself in and closed the door.
"Hi, Lenalee! Where's Allen and Kanda?" Road asked. I bit my lip and looked down. I was still sad, but not so much now. They were still with me...technically.
"About that." I started and the other three looked at me. "They're dead." My voice was quiet and four pairs of eyes widened.
"Allen's...dead?" Jasdero asked and looked at Debito. They shared a look and looked back at me. "Are you lying?" I shook my head.
"Allen." Road sobbed. "Allen! No, that's not possible." Her eyes filled with tears and determination. "I...I have to go see him." She got up from her chair and walked over to Tyki.
She sat down in his lap, shocking him, and laid against his chest.
"Road, what are you doing?" He raised an eyebrow at her actions and held her when she put her head on his shoulder.
"Shut up and cover me, okay?" She wiped away the tears that fell onto her cheeks and reached into her bag. She pulled out a needle and stuck it in her arm, pushing the contents inside her.
"Road-"
"Shut up!" She growled and injected herself with valium. A drug that helps you fall asleep really fast. "Just...cover me." Her eyelids drooped and Tyki sighed.
"You love that boy too much." He shook his head.
We watched as Road breathed in and out, already in the other universe.
