Caretaker
J'habite Paris
"You're too nice," he states whilst puffing smoke from his lips. Alli shrugs.
"It cost a fortune; I'm not wasting my money on a sack of candy just to let it disappear into pieces," she says whilst crossing her arms.
The breeze sweeps into the mansion on this winter filled day. It snows lightly and lands on top of the white blanket in which is also called snow. It's Christmas day, and the people are all gathered in their homes. Except for the Kamelot mansion.
She runs around looking for her family. Not knowing where they are, she takes an hour looking for them. No where. She scratches her head in confusion whilst thinking about where they could be. She remembers a certain place where they all would be at this early in the morning.
In bed.
She comes into Matt's room with a pale of water. She slowly creeps upon him as he lays there helpless to the situation that it about to come. As she approaches, she lifts the pale up slowly, and then-
Splash!
"Road Kamelot!" Matt shouts suddenly as water drips from his matted hair. The girl flees in an instant.
:+:
"You wanted to see me?" Alli asks with a slight growl. Sheril looks up at the girl in complete shock. Her hair has been chopped to shoulder length, and is a bit turquoise. Alli's hair has a tendency to turn colours when she's upset, turquoise being angry.
"What happened to you?" Sheril asks deadpanned.
"Your daughter," Alli seethes whilst narrowing her eyes.
"Ah," Sheril confirms as he pulls out a file. "Well, maybe this will calm your nerves."
Alli grabs onto the folder and opens it. "Why the hell would Paris calm my nerves, I almost died there!"
"Yes, about that, you'll be going alone with this one as well," Sheril informs.
"Oh great, a better chance of me dying is sending me alone. Thanks, I'm sure I'll die just for you," Alli says sarcastically in anger as her hair turns into turquoise a bit more.
"I'm sorry, but you're the only one capable of making this mission possible," Sheril says sullenly as he checks his watch. "You better get going, you've got a long day ahead of you."
"Yes yes, all right. You better give me a better mission next time, or someone's going to die!" Alli exclaims whilst leaving. Sheril only smiles. As Alli walks down the hallway, she finds a certain purple-haired girl walking along down to her. The girl stops instantly, realizing who's in front of her. Alli glares, then suddenly smiles.
"Why, Road, what a nice surprise. I haven't seen you since this morning," Alli says as she slowly walks towards her companion.
"I'm just, uh, going somewhere," Road says nervously.
"Where is it you're going?"
"Sheril's office."
"Of course you are," Alli mumbles happily. "I would like to talk to you first though."
"W-Well, I think we'd all agree now is not a great time to do that-" Alli cuts her off by suddenly appearing next to her. She grabs a hold of her arm and thrusts her on the wall.
"I want to talk now," she says dangerously. Alli's arm is immediately tugged off Road's and is pulled to the side. It's Matt.
"Not now," he says in her ear. "Later."
"Ugh, fine. Scram!" Alli hisses at Road. The girl scampers off like a deer running from its predator. She turns to Matt. "Why'd you stop me?"
"I was saving you from regretting something for the rest of your eternal life," Matt informs. "Plus, I want to kill the girl too; she woke me this morning by dumping a pale of water on my head whilst sleeping."
Alli laughs. "Well, that is a bit funny."
"You need to focus on your mission," Matt states calmly. "Where are you going for this one?"
"Paris."
"No way he's sending you there again!"
"He is, and I'm going alone as well," Alli states. "Don't worry, if I need help, I'll give a shout."

Alli stands there in the street as she approaches the church. She remembers what happened here vaguely, and can only remember fighting for the bow with Kanda. She sees a few crow members guarding the gate, as well as a few finders. Maybe I could use Gabby's trick from last time. . .
She kills them all with shadow crystals and steals one of the crow's uniforms. She walks into the church and heads to the basement. At least she still remembered how to get into the building without being caught. As she enters the room with the bow, a scientist calls her over to help him carry some boxes. They all go down near the bow.
"Thanks," the scientist says. Alli curtly nods to him as he walks away. She glances over to the bow then back at the scientists. She takes off her uniform and quickly disposes of it. She places her hands inside her shorts pockets and stares at the bow. A scientist notices her immediately.
"Hey you!" he shouts. "How did you get in here!"
"Your security lacks the proper training to actually see me coming," Alli informs, still staring at the bow. "You're all quite dense to leave a weapon like this in the open for grabs. It's quite the shock, to me I guess."
"Who are you! Stay away from there!" another scientist shouts. Alli sighs and grabs the bow quickly. She notices an exorcist come out of the other end.
Kanda.
"Oh great," Alli mumbles as she runs immediately out of the room. As she runs in the street, she suddenly realizes something. Knowing that Kanda would not stop until he grabbed the bow, Alli summons a barrier at the nearest closed door. She throws the bow in, and closes it straight away. Alli's suddenly attacked by parasites come towards her. Kanda isn't too far away. She knows that if she had gone there, he would've too.
She jumps on the building tops, and turns around to see Kanda stop five feet away. She stops abruptly and turns around, summoning two swords as she does so. She heads full on to attack him. The swords clash. Kanda suddenly uses a different technique. He slashes across her right eye. She screams from the pain. She reaches her dagger that's strapped against her leg. She throws it at Kanda. It lands in his shoulder, missing his heart by mere centimeters. He swings his sword again, only to nick her shoulder. She quickly escapes through a barrier below.
:+:
"Ouch!" Alli exclaims suddenly. Shadow dabs the golden-haired girl's eye.
"Quit whining, I know it hurts," she snaps angrily. "You need to be careful next time."
"I was trying to be careful; he didn't give me a chance!" Alli exclaims angrily. "It's not my fault he was trying to kill me."
"Well, at least your eye will heal in the next couple of days," Shadow informs whilst dabbing the girl's eye once more. "You can't see anyone until you heal, and that includes Matt."
"All right," Alli groans. "You sound like my- never mind. I'll see you later."
:+:
"Alli!" Road shouts as her friend walks into the garden. After a day, Alli had managed to heal a bit faster than what Shadow had guessed. Luckily for her, she gets to show everyone her new scar.
"Did you get the bow?" she asks suddenly.
"Yup! It actually had hit my head when I was walking down the hallway," Road mumbles whilst recalling the event.
"Where's Sheril?" Alli asks.
"In his office, along with Matt and Tyki. I think they're talking about you," Road states as she thinks hard. Alli walks into the mansion and finds herself in front of Sheril's office door. When she enters, three gasps are heard.
"What in the world happened to you!" Sheril exclaims heavily as the other two stare at her in surprise.
"Who?" Matt asks deadpanned.
"Kanda, but I got him back as well," Alli answers nonchalantly.
"How?" Tyki asks.
"I threw one of my daggers at him," Alli says. "The ones where if it hits you, it can never be taken out. If they try, it goes deeper."
"Well, as long as you retrieved the bow, everything's going to be alright," Sheril says.
"Sheril, never send me to Paris again," Alli says sternly. "Otherwise, I will hurt you."
Wow, it's becoming harder and harder to revise these chapters. I think it's because they're newer, and I can't think of something to fix them with. Oh well, I hope you enjoyed this one. Wondering what will happen in the last few chapters? Well, read on and see!
