Waking up seemed like an eternity. he knew he was asleep, he wanted to wake up and could hear

and feel everything that happened around him.

he could hear Road and Millennie talk, could her the fear in Road's voice and he could hear all his

different family members visiting him, encouraging him to wake up soon.

Neah, had been a bit scary at the beginning, with all the grinning and creepy laughing he did in his

shadowy form, but the longer he spent in his unconscious state the clearer Neah's form became,

after a few day's his shadow form had taken more of a human like shape and he now clearly hear his

voice.

He had then lead Allen to what Neah called his sanctuary, a place that no one but him, and now

Allen had sat a foot in.

The tale he had there after told Allen had made Allen both mad. The thought that the man in front

of him had betrayed his family when alive had sickened him, but just when he was about to stand up

and accuse or leave the former '14th' where he sat said man grabbed ahold Allen's shaking had upon

the table and stared pleadingly at him, begging him to listen at the whole story before judging him.

Allen had grudgingly agreed and tried his hardest to settle his raging emotions down.

Neah had smiled at him, a sad and grateful smile.

He had then told Allen about his brother, Manna and a general of the black order, Cross Marian,

about their plan to end this war, about a third side of the war, a hidden side.

Neah had reluctantly gone along the two men cause of his brothers begging, thinking that if this

third side actually excised, and if he joined it he could spend some more time with Manna, his

precious big brother.

Allen's once trembling hands were now gripping Neah's in a tight grip, making the shadow of the

14th reassuringly back.

"S'okay" he had said and had told Allen of the meeting with the 'secret side' of the war, it had

excised of retired exorcists, some priests, a few rookies of the black order and a general Cross

Marian and his pupil Maria.

His reluctance to join the third side had gradually diminished with his relationship with Maria

growing.

Neah had stopped at that and stared at Allen, his filled with several emotions, regret, sorrow,

anger... and something else.

He had excused himself, asking to continue this later when he had calmed his emotions. Once Allen

had agreed Neah had vanished, leaving Allen alone in the white piano room.

getting up from his seat at the table they both had been sitting he walked to the single door in the

room and opened it revealing what seemed like a courtyard.

Allen walked over to one of the strangely white, almost glowing trees standing by a fountain, he

raised a hand and touched the tree, marveling and the silky smooth texture of it, it also somehow

seemed to warm to be a normal tree.

Sitting down and leaning his back at the tree he closed his eyes and thought back at all the

information Neah had revealed. He had talked to lovingly about Maria, which made him wonder, what could have happened to the woman to make him like this, had she betrayed him? had she

died?

sighing he opened eyes and stared up at the sky, the once blue sky had turned a murky gray color,

almost looking like it would begin to thunder at any time.

That had been the first time he had heard Road's voice. It was as if it called his name all the way

from the heavens.

her voice had only repeated his name over and over again in such a heartbreaking longing voice that

Allen unconsciously clenched his teeth so hard that blood soon dribbled down his chin.

Several day's had passed without him ever seeing Neah again, but he could swear that he had heard

the Noah's broken voice several times, sometimes crying, some time mumbling in a languish he

didn't, couldn't understand.

Under those agonizing long day's the sky had broken in half and let such a Skyfall of rain that it had

begun to fill the cobbled streets of the white city.

Making Allen seen refuge in what he guessed was the main tower of the city located in the middle of

everything.

If what Neah said was true, and this was the Noah's Arc, was this supposed to be the great flood? he

chuckled to himself at his little joke while staring down at the water which had now covered the

house's below completely.

He of course understood the seriousness of the situation, but somehow couldn't seem to muster

enough energy to care, his mind completely filled with all the information and mystery that Neah

had revealed and the information he had gathered from the voices that would occasionally erupt

from the sky's.

At this time he had several times questioned his sanity, the question if he had died during the fight

with the few exorcist's he had met that one time.

Holding up his blackened hand in front of his face he stared at the green cross embedded in his

hand, the green cross glowed faintly, giving off a soft humming noise as if response to him looking at

it, he smiled at the though and caressed the glowing cross, Crown Clown lovingly and closed his tired

eyes, falling in to unconsciousness.

The next time he woke up he felt like some one had repeatedly banged his head against a cement

wall, or possibly something harder.

he turned his face to his right where he could feel someone else's presence and his breathing came

out in labored huffs and just doing that, just the thought of opening his eyes made him groan

internally but he pressed forward instead and opened his eyes to see... Purple?

Turning his eyes a little lower he saw Road's sleeping form, who had seemingly fallen asleep while

watching over him.

he smiled and painfully turned his head to the door when a small creek erupted from it, and saw the

Earl standing there, shock written all over his human face.

Allen gave his father a small smile in greeting and the Earl horridly rushed to his side, taking his

single free hand, his other tightly being grabbed by the small girl sleeping at his side. "Mornin' father" he managed to croak in a horse voice after a few seconds of trying to moisten his

vocal cords.

"Welcome back, Son"

A/N:

OK. Sorry for not updating this story in forever, I have no excuse but my own laziness, and me

being captured in the One Piece world.

Why am I updating this now?

Well... I promised myself that I would update a story today and asked my phone (yes, yes I did)

which story I should update and 14th lullaby came up on my music list, my brother's say my phone

I cursed cause it answers questions that way.

and I have 713 songs, and it's all randomly shuffled.

anyway and whilst writing that I continued asking my phone what should happen next and this is

the end work.

As a example, I got Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (acoustic) in the ending from where Allen was

watching the Arc fill with water.

Once again, sorry for not updating in forever, I'll try to update soon!

And if anyone have a question for my phone just leave it in a review or PM me and I'll

send an answer and the song to you :)
