Flames corrupted.

Walls crashed

Blood was spilled.

Because of me…

I ran and never looked back.

I walked though the allies. I was still cut, beaten, and burnt because of them. It was night time maybe around midnight so I decide to look for a place to sleep. After minutes of looking I found a decent, or as decent an ally can get, place to sleep. I leaned against the wall, and took of my sweater. When I scrunched it, I put it on the floor and lay down. Then as soon as my head touched my jacket I heard a 'bloody murder' scream.

Jerking up I put my hand to my head wincing in pain. I got up and put my jacket back on, zipping it up to my collar bone. I threw my hood over my face until it completely covered my face and only showed my mouth, chin, and a small red line that anyone can mistake for maker.

"Someone help!" screeched a women and I walked cautiously to where the noise was heard. I stopped at the end of the ally went into another ally but instead of running in the opposite direction, I poked my head out to see what happening.

A girl no older than 20 was back against the wall near where I was standing and a boy who was maybe 17 laid on the ground, both of them were bleeding so much I wanted to throw up and run but for some reason I stayed still.

"Oi, exorcist, get up I want an entertaining show," a girl poked the boy on the ground with an umbrella.

"Road-sama, please stop lero!" the umbrella squeaked. My mouth was hanging open

'The umbrella just spoke. I must be going crazy or I may just be hallucinating because of the lack of sleep.' I thought. My eyes drooped but I still stayed to watch.

"Road, if you want a show then tell Sheryl you got a boyfriend," a man sighed and walked out of the shadows.

"Don't be that way Tyki," the girl jumped up(and dropped the umbrella) and wrapped her arms around the torso since he was very taller than her. I barley notice how they looked.

The man, named Tyki, looked about 25. His skin was gray, he had golden eyes, and had crosses on his head. He was wearing a suit that was covered with blood splatters and his hair was pulled back and cover with a top hat. And the girl (who was twirling the umbrella again), named Road, had the same exterior as the man. Her hair was spiked and she wore a sickly sweet smile.

"You sick monster!" the boy on the ground spat at them. "You, Noahs should just die," he coughed blood out and propped himself on one arm. But was back on the floor when Road swung the umbrella at him and whacked him across the head. The girl on the wall stared in horror when Tyki reach into him and when he pulled something else out. Candles appeared out of no where and the tips where pointed and went straight for the girl. I gasped and closed my eyes. A few moments passed by before I allowed himself to open my eyes. I saw the pair on the ground lying at Road's feet while she was singing.

The Lord Millennium is in search of you.

Looking for the heart now

Have you heard the news?

Maybe you stole it from him,

I'll see if it's true.

I turned and started to run but I tripped and fell backward. My hood fell off and exposed my face. Road came over to me in a flash but I realize she was staring at my face and hair. Scrambling up I began to turn and run but a pair of arms caught me.

"Kya~ Tyki can we keep him. He is so adorable," squealed Road, twirling me in a circle. During the process, my large kitchen glove fell off on my disgusting arm. She yelped and jumped away as she grabbed my hand, leaving me to fall to the ground. She held her hand close to her body, it was clear that a million things were going through her head by the way her eyes shone. Pain, shock, hatred, concern, uncertainty.

She thinks I'm a monster too. Ashamed, my bangs cover my eyes, ready for anything they did to me. The same as the people who saw my horrid hand. The same as the town's folk who burned down my house. They're all the same.

"Hey, boy, what's your name?" he asked eying me from head to toe but his eyes rested on my covered arm. He moved to where he was inbetween me and Road but she just looked past him, straight at me. Perhaps even inside of me.

"Allen," My gaze only on Road, as if I were in a trance. It took at moment but I looked at Tyki as well, to be exact I looked at the strange crosses on his forehead.

"Allen," Road mused while repeating my name. But I shook my head and she gave me a puzzled look.

"Allen Walker."
