A/N: Alright, my first attempt at a song fic. But WAIT, there's a TWIST! I decided to make it wear all of the dialog is actually the song. The only other 'speaking' would be the introduction and the closing, but that's jut because I thought they sounded cool... That is how I day-dream this one-shot any ways so I want you to get the awesome experience too. However, this actually limits my ability to explain, have limitations on their voices and speech phrases. I think it turned out quite well, and once you got it all in your head, listen to the song and I hope this pops up with ease, in which movement can be explained as they speak. The song is "This Could Be Anywhere" by Alexisonfire (really good group). Enjoy~!
baka usagi (nss,1987):Alright, I'll set up a real fic for "Cold Spell" once I get everything back up-to-date and find time. I'll try to do it asap!
LonelyKitty:Yes, super OOC Allen in that last one. I've been deprived of my cannibalism so I had to bring it out some way. The fic that's supposed to have lots is still building up to it... Any ways, it was for Halloween so we need a little scare/Sephant's flipped up-ness. Hope you likey~

"You would never believe me if I told you that something much darker lurks inside of this curse."
Allen sat patently in the cafeteria. All the tables were full and his group of friends surrounded him. Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda, Miranda, Krory, and even Toma had joined the group. It was a rare chance of smiles being passed between them. Where laughter was apparent.
The fragile moment was shattered as a finder burst into the room. Allen's lips twitched upward, a small smirk forming on his fully pale face. His curse was gone, 'missing' as Koumi described it. But Allen knew where it was, and through out the entire course of the week after it left his face he was both silent and mysterious.
"This town has it's claws, buried in my neck! This town, it takes lives, without mercy, without hate" The finder shouted out, a monstrous voice filling the once happy room. Black, heavy liquid like molasses poured from his nose, ears, mouth, and eyes. It fell to the ground it a strange sluggish movement, pooling out like water.
"The streets are in distress. The sun suffocates behind darkened skies" The voice was too soft to be heard as the once calm cafeteria was sent into a riot. Screams bounced off the walls and the horrid finder took a small step forward.
"The grass is growing, on top of my feet. I'm sinking won't be long before I'm too deep to run!" The finders feet were now covered in the strange liquid that flowed so freely from his body. He reached out towards the others, who stood up quickly, fear and panic clear on their faces. Their steps were hesitant. Allen's own group of friends were shocked-silent, barely breathing. Allen slowly stood up, using his hands to push down on to the hard wood table. The smirk still decorated his lips.
"The line up seems endless." Allen's voice was pure and even. All other sounds seemed to die with his small pause. "Underneath the salvation signs" The black sludge began to wrap around the finder as his pure white eyes landed on Allen's now standing form.
"We are the dead ones! We are the lost cause! We are the bend before the break our steps seal our fate" The dark liquid fully engulfed the finder as it lashed out, heading towards Allen. It moved like a disfigured animal of some kind, with a blunt form that the sludge had molded into.
Because this city, this city is haunted.
Allen dodged the sudden charge with ease, his partners also diving out of the way as the table was reduced to splinters.
By ghosts
Lenalee and Lavi had quickly dashed away.
Ghosts...
Miranda and Krory soon following as they joined the group of frightened finders in the corner beside the assault.
From broken homes...
Allen landed gracefully on cold floor, his old cloak open around him. Kanda stood not to far from his side, Mugen in hand.
Homes...
The once-finder was know reduced to a strange blob in the form of some sort of golem. He was crouched forward, on all fours, staring at Allen with two white orbs.
Because this city, this city is haunted.
The beast-like thing charged forward once more at Allen, the boy easily avoiding him.
There's no hope
And landing just as quickly.
Hope...
Kanda was forced to roll out of the way, ending up with the others.
Left for these souls
It swung a large punch towards Allen, who jumped over it with ease.
Souls...
With that same smirk still on his lips.
"Every step I take, I leave a small piece, of myself behind, soon there will be nothing left" The finder shouted once more, it's head inclining to gaze at the brick ceiling.
"The cracks in the pavement." Allen was on the roof. "Match the cracks in their weathered skin" Crown Clown's belt attached firm to it like a spider's legs.
"The sky's a brick wall! The ground's a juggernaut! Each day they get a bit closer between them, I am caught!" The voice seemed to rumble, as if angered at Allen. Flailing his arms in accusing points towards the white hair individual.
"As I stare in amazement..." Allen walked across the ceiling, hips dancing to the side with the movement. "I can't believe this is where I live!"
"Every breath I take, I feel my lungs seal. This breeze feels more like shards of glass I'm more scars than skin" It shouted with a large jump upwards, slamming it's hand across the roof.
Because this city, this city is haunted.
The beast fell down, dust and debrief circling it in a bizarre motion.
By ghosts
Allen was once more on the ground, moving in the form of a elaborate dance.
Ghosts...
Appearing to float as Crown Clown moved effortlessly underneath him.
From broken homes
The beast was enraged as charged once more at him.
Homes...
Allen jumped over him bracing himself on the back of the creature as he pushed off behind it.
Because this city, this city is haunted...
It crashed into a brick wall, right beside the kitchen were Jerry once was.
There's no hope
It's white eyes changed to red as it turned itself back to face the boy.
Hope...
That still wore that ridiculous smirk.
Left for these souls
As if he knew,
Souls
More about it than itself.
"Our steps seal fate."It appeared done fooling around. "Our steps seal fate."So very done.
"This is our celebration!" It appeared to explode "Come join the lost souls!" Its body thrashing out, creating sharp spikes and whipping streams. "This is our celebration! Come join the lost souls!" It roared once more at Allen. However the boy was no longer there.
"This city, this city is haunted..." His voice was soft and soothing as Allen appeared in front of the beast, his hand laying softly on it's cheek.
"Oh!" The finder exploded from it's back "Walk with us, Oh!" The goo began to wrap around Allen's small frame. "Down!" It seemed to mend in with the boy. "Walk with us!" The room seemed to explode, silencing everything in it's wake as Allen's pale body appeared once more.
This city, this city is haunted.
Strange claw like tentacles burst from Allen's back, moving like spider legs, forward and back. Forward and back.
By ghosts
A strange silver liquid ran down both arms.
Ghosts...
And sharpened into matching blades.
From broken homes
His smirk had become a full out grin.
Homes...
That's malice rivaled an Akuma's.
Because this city, this city is haunted
The tentacles moved in fast, blurry motions. Writing out music notes that hung onto the air.
There's no hope
Each one circled their note.
Hope...
And stabbed through it.
Left for these souls
The circles glowed an eerie red light as black pentacles filled them.
Souls...
And in another flash of white light, Allen was back to normal, with his pentacle curse marring his face one more.
"Hey! Would you believe me, if I told you that something worse than an Akuma lives inside me?"
