Chapter 4

Lavi's POV

The darkness was fading to reveal another snow day. Allen was looking around confused just like the rest of us. We were all in a crowded town and the streets were loaded with people rushing past each other in order to get to the next location. I glanced at the Noah to see if he was still safe enough to be around but i only saw him locking his gaze on a moving figure in the crowd and i was curious to know what was catching his attention so i followed his stare. I saw the past Allen but this time instead of his brown-red hair, he had a tuft of white on his head. Both Kanda and Allen saw that we had a fixed stare in the same direction so they followed our eyes and spotted the little kid.

"Hey Wisely? When is this?" I asked as i saw a glimpse of the little Allen's eyes which now held life and happiness. "About two weeks since the incident" Wisely stated. I looked over to Allen and i saw him looking elsewhere. "Allen, what are you looking at?" I questioned. Allen stopped staring at the mysterious object in another direction to look at me as he responded "I think i see the little girl from last time over there" Then he pointed to the direction which he had been looking at and then the three of us looked over to where he pointed.

Sure enough we saw the little hooded girl walking among a crowd. The girl was moving over to the past Allen which has noticed her arrival and gave a warm smile. Didn't he encounter the Earl two weeks ago? Why was he smiling like nothing happened? Did the hooded child make him happy? Who was the hooded child? All those questions raced in my mind and then i heard Kanda "Oi! Why did you skip the memories? We don't know what the hell is happening now!" ...Yep, Kanda was irritated and honestly i think i was too. I hated not knowing what was happening. I glanced at Allen and i could tell that he was probably irritated too.

"Well I'm not a complete expert at going into and looking in people's memories cause i never needed to look at useless people's memories... And besides it was getting boring" Wisely stated as he looked over to us "Would you rather not seeing any of the lost memories than seeing parts of it?" Kanda looked even more irritated but he bit back a remark and just Che'd while he crossed him arms and looked back on what was happening. The rest of us just resumed on watching the memory.

Wisely POV

This was getting interesting. The mysterious person had to do something with Allen losing his memory and what was intriguing me to find out even more was when he told me he knew a different version. It seems like that memory was a fake... maybe a cover... I paid attention to every detail as i try to piece together the puzzle that seems to miss some pieces... Damn it! I don't know what the hell happened during the two week gap. Somehow there was something that interfered with my powers to cause me to skip the time. This was surely getting interesting.

Third POV

The past Allen was wearing a green coat that had dirt marks covering parts of the fabric. His hair was white as the snow falling on the sunny day. His scar was visible on his boyish face and his gray eyes were now filled with happiness and life. His brown winter boots were clacking on the street as he ran toward the hooded girl who was wearing the same rag as before. Some people were staring at the two in disgust before walking away hurridly like the two were a nasty object.

Allen was oblivious to the people's stares of disgust and whispers of hate as he smiled at the hooded girl with her face hidden in the shadow of the hood like before. The sun was shining while the snow fell gently to the floor. The girl had noticed the people's comments and stares so she quickly grabbed Allen's gloved hand before dragging him away. Allen was confused on the sudden action but then he heard the girls voice "Allen, aren't you hungry? I am! So lets eat!" He could see the visible smile on her face so he was about to reply but unfortunately his stomach had interrupted him and answered for him. The people in the area were startled by the monstrous growl and looked around to find the source but they couldn't find it so they continued to walk away.

Allen was now a bright red tomato and the girl was giggling and then she continued to drag him. "Hey, why are you wearing that cloak again?" Allen questioned trying to make another conversation to hear the girl's voice again. "Hmm... I don't really know... Maybe cause this world is dangerous and people probably wont steal from me if i look poor..." She looked as if she were trying to find another reason but then shortly gave up and gave a soft sigh. "What do you want to eat anyway Allen?" She asked instead when she couldn't give anymore reasons. Allen then had sparkles everywhere around him as he gave his long reply

"Lasagna, potatoes, Dry curry, Ma-po tofu, beef stew, meat pie, calpaccho, nashigoren, chicken, potato salad, corn, kuppa, Tomyank, rice, and for dessert i want a mango pudding and... 20 mitarashi dangos!"

The girl giggled even more and Allen turned an even more dark shade of red "Hey! You asked me what i wanted to eat!" Allen crossed his arms and pouted as the girl still dragged him. They finally came to stop at the abandoned house in front of the empty street. She let go of Allen and then he stood up. She pick-locked the lock again as Allen was walking to the creaky porch. "Why is this part of the town empty anyway?" When she was done picking the lock she opened the door as she replied "There was a rumor about demons and people disappearing here and people got so scared that they moved. But it's just a rumor right? And besides we're strong aren't we?" She replied happily as she and Allen walked in. Allen smiled and he replied in an overly confident voice "Of course! I will beat any demons or whatever that brings harm to you!"

The girl giggled once more before walking in the kitchen to prepare lunch. Allen sat on the couch waiting for the food to be ready but as he waited he was starting to sway as he rubbed his eyes and yawned. Next thing he knew he was sleeping.

Inside Allen's Dream

Allen's POV

It was back in the graveyard and this time there was no gentle scenery. No snow falling softly. No trees swaying softly. No one was there to accompany me. I stood on the dirt floor in front of Mana's grave. I remember the pain. I don't like this! I was scared that there would be Mana there to curse me in a metallic skeleton form. I was scared that the Earl would appear with his impossible grin. So i ran. Ran as far away as i could but i stopped when i was in front of a lake. The lake reflected someone so i stepped forward and looked in. It was me but my eyes were like black buttons and i looked like a doll. All torn up and worn out.

There was no moon in the reflection so i took another step forward. I stared at my reflection until i heard someone speak out "Don't stop... Keep walking, Allen..." I jumped when i realized it was my reflection speaking out. It moved on it's own now. Not needing to copy me anymore. It's hand was reaching out towards me and i walked back. Everything was shaking now. The floor was trembling and i was trying to regain balance and finally everything cracked. The sky. The floor. The lake. My reflection. I was now falling into the abyss along with the shattered pieces as i screamed trying to tell myself this wasn't real. It was a dream. A nightmare. I want to wake up!

Then i heard a faint voice calling me. Screaming my name and telling me to wake up. So i opened my eyes.

Reality

Third POV

She was screaming out his name telling him to wake up. She knew that he was having a nightmare. It would happen when he tried to take a nap or sleep. It happened at times but when he wakes up he would cry and shake with fear of falling back into the abyss. The nightmares were the same each time. He would always explain in detail what happened when she comforts him. She wanted to cure him of his nightmares so he would sleep regularly without having to worry about the reflection, Earl, and the cold and dark abyss.

Allen finally opened his eyes and tears were instantly flowing down his cheeks. He took her hand and gave it a tight squeeze to check for reality. She gave a reassuring smile and calmed him down until his tears stopped falling. She then pulled him off the couch and seated him at the table and served him his food. "Don't worry i will protect you. Ok?" She asked as she gave a warm smile. She still had her cloak on but he could see her silver eyes and warm smile. "Yeah and i will protect you in return." She gave him a bigger smile and finally exclaimed "Then its a promise! Pinky Promise!" She and Allen then intertwined their pinky fingers and continued to eat completely forgetting the terror of the nightmare once more.

Present Allen's POV

We just watched everything. We even explored my nightmares. No one said a word but when i heard the promise at the table my heart sunk. I just wanted to know two things. Who was she and did i keep my promise? The other three looked at me with curiosity as i hung my head low. Next thing we knew we were surrounded by a cloak of darkness and we were going to another piece of my missing memory.
