Hey, guys. Thank you again for the anime you recommended. I'm currently enjoying them! It really helps to make me feel stress and depression free. Thank you very much!

I haven't finish Loki's, Amy's, Tidus', and Yuna's characterization yet. I'll inform you once I'm done. I want my OC's to appear handsome and beautiful. : )

Thank you for the reviews! I appreciated it so much. And thanks also for following and liking my story! Arigatou gozaimasu, minasan!

Night Eleven


In a dark room a candle that was on the night stand lit. Beside it was a bed where a boy, Allen Walker, laid and a girl, Amy Alberts, sat at the edge of it. The flickering candle light reflected on Allen's silver pools making it looked like yellow-orange as he stared at the smiling Amy whose brown eyes became lighter, almost yellow.

"Like I said, I'm going to tell you my story." she declared.

"But, Miss Alber-"

"I told you to call me Amy. If you don't I will sleep here with you."

Allen blushed. How could a girl so gentle looking say such a thing? No, she isn't gentle based on how she treated Loki.

"... Yes... A-Amy..."

"That's better. Now, about the story I was talking about..." Allen felt awkward. He didn't want Amy to bring up her story because he knew a tragedy happened to their parents, but Amy insisted to tell even though he was just a stranger a moment ago. And she said that Allen should tell his side too. "Eight years ago, father found Loki at the wheat fields, unconscious. He brought him back home and mother and Yuna helped to tend his injuries. He was unconscious for two days and when he woke up, I gave him something to eat. I asked for his name and said, 'Umber, Loki Umber.' then I asked him where he came from, how did he got here injured, where are his parents, and so on and so forth, but he didn't answer. I pouted at him and did you know what he did? He just ignored me and he looked like he would have a headache if I won't stop talking..." Allen felt like a bead of sweat suddenly appeard. No wonder Loki was avoiding her because he hated noisy people. He was fine when you talk to him, but once you go overboard he became irritated. "I always talk to Loki and tell him the stories I heard from the townsfolk though I repeated some, but eventually Loki got used to me and just lets me talk to him. Sometimes he will avoid me just like this afternoon." Amy sighed. She knew Loki doesn't like talkative, but she just wanted him to be open because Loki never told anyone what he wanted. "He's been with us for months and I learned that his parents died, but didn't tell the reason behind. One year had passed and both mom and dad died in an accident while on their way back here. The thieves attack the wagon and burned everything including my them. The twins and I cried a lot, but Loki didn't. Not even a hint of sadness in his eyes can be seen. Because of his lack of emotion, he and Tidus got in a fight most of the time, however, as time goes by Loki warmed up and told us he doesn't know how to show his feelings. Since then, Tidus teases him about that. But you know what? I found out last week that Loki knows how to be embarrassed and to be joyful. Hahahaha! It's simple though! Just give him anything that is strawberry flavoured and you'll see sparks in his eyes and he gets embarrass if someone sees him eating strawberry. Now it's your turn!"

Allen realized that Amy was a very talkative person and doesn't care if she tells anyone about herself. But she didn't tell him about herself after all.

"You know, you don't have to say something about you if you don't like. I can see it in your eyes. You've been through a lot."

"How…"

"How did I know? Because we're the same! When mom and dad passed away I was in despair. It took me months before I got back to my feet and it was all thanks to Loki!"

Allen smiled. Maybe this way his burden will be lifted from his shoulders.

"I… I used to work at circus before-"

"Wow! Really!?" Amy rejoiced, her hands clasped together and fingers intertwined with each other.

"Uhmm… yeah… I don't remember much of my childhood and I don't know anything about my biological parents. As far as I could remember, I've been in circus."

"Waaahhh… that was amazing! I've never been to circus before! Was it wonderful there? I heard there are clowns there!" She interrupted.

Allen smiled and said, "It's true, but my life there wasn't like that all smiles and laughs. Indeed, a circus makes people laugh because that was what it is supposed to be. But, behind those masks the clowns and entertainers wear, they weren't nice to me at all. They treated me like trash. But, one night I met a clown. He was crazy to the point you could tell he was insane. He always did his best to make me laugh because I always scowled. I don't like clowns you see? I don't like him at first to say the least but eventually…" Allen trailed off as he remembered the past with Mana.

"You loved him, didn't you?"

"Yeah… he was the only one who accepted me, who loved me, and treated me like his own son. But he was no longer here. He died about two months ago. Now I am with my Master."

"Oh, I'm sorry to your lost."

"No, it's okay really."

Amy thought his story was quite short and that there were more behind those. She could tell just by looking at his eyes. She wanted to know more about Allen, but didn't push any farther.

"Well, thank you Allen. It's good to talk to you! Good night!" and with that, she left Allen with a smile.

Allen didn't know why but he felt good now that he talked about it. It still hurt him so much but after the talk, he felt light.

"Good night, Mana. I love you and sweet dreams." He whispered before closing his eyes and allowed the darkness to envelop him.

oOo

The next morning, everyone jumped out of their beds, hearts almost bounced out of their ribcages, due to a scream of horror the shook the whole house. They didn't know what made the scream that early morning, so they all rushed to where they supposed it came from.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! TERRIBLE! IT IS TERRIBLE! ! ! SOMEONE! ANYONE! PLEASE, HELP!"

At the living room, Tidus crouched as he clutched his head and screamed to the top of his lungs. He then noticed a group of people by the doorframe that looked at him questioningly. Allen stared at him, confused. On his right was a groggy Amy rubbing the sleep away as she yawned and next to her was Loki who just looked at him without any emotions, but deep inside he was screaming bloody hell and was imagining to kill the one and only that pisses him to no end and that was no other than Tidus.

That idiot… what the hell was he up to now!? I want to sleep more! Loki screamed in his mind. If he wasn't a passive person, Tidus must be long dead.

"Tidus…" Amy yawned. "What the hell is the problem? Screaming like a terrified girl in a horror movie?" of course there was a hint of annoyance and an intent to choke her brother in her tone of voice plus her sharp sleepy eyes glaring at Tidus.

"You- you won't believe me!" standing up, Tidus started. He walked closer to the three, arms extended to them in a desperate manner. "Yuna! Yuna! She- she…"

"Spill." Loki said.

"She was gone! I looked into her room to greet her, but- but… she wasn't there! I even searched in and out of the house but she was nowhere to find!"

"She's probably at that house." Amy guessed, bored.

"Is he always like that?" Allen asked, whispering into Loki's ear who nodded in response.

"But… how could she go away without telling me first? What if- what if someone might take advantage of her?"

Just then, Allen realized his Master wasn't around. A thought suddenly struck him, but brushed it off, hoping that he was wrong. Just to make sure, he left Loki and Amy to knock some sense into Tidus' brain telling him that he was paranoid, and went to his Master's room upstairs. Every step that Allen took made him nervous and he dreaded each moment he was nearing to Cross's room. The room wasn't that far yet Allen felt like it took him hours just to reach it. His heart beat like crazy out of nervousness. Was his Master still sleeping? Impossible. With that scream, everyone must hear it.

"Alright… here it goes…" Allen inhaled deeply. Slowly, he held his right hand and grabbed the doorknob. He tilted it to open. I didn't knock first… Allen thought when he realized he opened the door without knocking first. What if he found his Master naked or something much shocking and he get himself flat dead because of his rudeness? Whatever. I'll just check if he was still asleep.

Slowly, the door creaked open. Allen poked his head inside and looked around the room.

Then his eyes widened and he drained all the colors of his face.

"No…" voice quivered, he whispered to himself.


I wonder what Allen found in Cross Marian's room. Hahaha! Who wants to bet? Night twelve is almost ready by the way. Actually, I just finish the first paragraph. Lol.

Thanks for reading, please review.

See you!
