Allen walked slowly on the carpeted hallway staring straight ahead of him. The voice in his head was louder now.
This is boring. I want to kill! Destroy! See the whole world crumble to dust! heehee.
Shut up, he mumbled. Hmm? Road turned around as she opened the door to the dining room.
"Tyki, We're home!" Road ran into the dinning room and sat at her chair, swinging her legs.
"We?" He looked up from his newspaper to see Allen walk hesitantly into the room. "Ahh, Road managed to find someone to resurrect you. Sit down, you look like you've seen a ghost." Tyki chuckled at his own ghost. The sad fact was that it was true. Allen's face was devoid of emotion.
"I managed to level him up by myself." Road smirked at her recent accomplishment.
"That's good Road but you need to be careful. You're the daughter of a duke. You can't afford to be seen with Allen, at least while he looks like that." Tyki smirked and continued, "I have some clothes in my room that night fit him, don't use Jasdebi's clothes though. They might do something rash."
"Thanks alot Tyki. You're the best." " Road got up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Come on Allen! And wipe that look off your face. You need to smile more."
"Yes mistress Road" Allen tried to smile and managed a shaky imitation of what was once a bright smile.
Road dashed to Tyki's room and immediately tore open the closet. She dug through piles of shirts and pants until she found a waistcoat, a white button down shirt, and a pair of dress pants. After helping to dress Allen she stepped back to see him
"There, you can be my servant now."
Road skipped off to her room and started to change. Allen stared blankly at the wall, the weak smile still on his face. He watched idly as Road fell asleep. He soon realized that he couldn't sleep. He stood in the room thinking,
What am I going to do now? I'm could self-destruct, but I'd never see Mana again. I suppose I could travel to the order and let them kill me.
'Now why would you do that?'
Who said that?
'It's just me. Consider me your new friend. Hee Hee!'
You? Get out of my head!
'Aww come on Allen. You can't die now! well, if an exorcist kills you, but you're a favorite of Road. She's one of the most powerful Noah. We can make it to level four, level five! We can destroy the human race, hee hee hee!
Allen shuddered as the waves of malice washed over him. Every giggle sent shudders through his mechanical spine. That was right, he wasn't human. He dug his nails into his skin and sighed as he felt a sting in his arm. He could still feel, she could still think. He was still alive.
Allen suddenly lifted his head as he heard footsteps outside the door. Allen swing the door outward clipping Tyki in the back.
"Hey, what are you doing up so late Ro-. Oh, hello Allen. How is your first night?" Tyki's looked Allen in the eye and noticed his shiver. "Listen, you guys left my room a mess. Can you clean it for me?" Tyki yawned and stretched as he finished his sentence
Allen nodded and started to move towards the stairs. He didn't entirely know where it was but he followed Tyki to his room.
The room was a mess of clothing like a bomb had gone off. Allen quickly started to pick up and fold the cloathing.
"Shirts and jackets go in the closet, pants go in the dresser." Tyki cut through the silence with his new order.
Allen quickly folded and cleaned the clothes from the bedroom. When the room was finally cleaned he turned to leave, but Tyki stopped him by laying a hand oh Allen's shoulder.
"Allen, what does being an akuma feel like?"
"It is terrible. I...can't feel my body except for pain. Pain is very real. I feel a tugging on my soul. It's eating away it's a, a... parasite. The parasite, has a voice, has a personality. It can take over me.
"I kill people. An entire town, and I couldn't stop myself! Everyone there and just because I'm in servitude to evil. I enjoyed it! As they crumbled I felt a small feel of enjoyment because I had caused destruction in the world."
Allen opened his eyes wide at this sudden realization and hurredly turned to leave the room.
"I have to return to Road. Goodbye Lord Tyki"
Tyki watched Allen's softly closed the door behind him then moved to the floor where Allen had stood. As he touched the oily black tears Allen had left behind, Tyki smilled ruefully.
"That makes two of us."
