A Promise Made

I was in a battlefield.The Earl invaded our home.Everyone was trying so hard to fight.So much bloodshed,screams and sorrows.I saw Allen-kun,drenched in crimson blood.Yet his body was pushed past his limits. Every time he was attacked,he pushed himself further,not caring about the consequences.


"Allen-kun!!"I shouted.

I must help him.I con't care if I die!


"Innocence!Activate!"

My blood red anklets won't activate.


"Come on!Activate!!"

It didn't respond.Instead,it turned into ashes and disappeared.I clenched my fists.I was no longer an Exorcist.I saw Allen as he was flung onto a wall and fell.


"Allen-kun!!"I shouted and ran to him.


He smiled and caressed my cheeks with his normal hand.I cried,holding it so tight I wasn't able to let go.


"I'm sorry..."Allen barely whispered as a tear rolled down his blood-stained cheeks."I...."


His eyes closed and his hand slipped out of my hands and watched him turn into dust.


"ALLEN!!!!!"


"Lenalee?Lenalee!Wake up!"




              ~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~




"Lenalee!Are you all right?You were screaming in your sleep.What happened?"Asked a worried Allen.


"Yes...it was just a dream...oh!By the way,why are you here?"


"You were screaming,so I though something happened."Allen said while pouring some water into her glass."Here."


"Thanks."Lenalee smiled as she took the glass.


"You know,I was pretty worried about you.You must have a bad fright."


"I..."Lenalee tightened her grasps on the glass."I don't know what I should do..."


"Do what?"


"I felt like I was seeing the future.You...died..."Lenalee closed her eyes and gripped the glass even further that it shattered.


"Careful,Lenalee!You shouldn't hold it so tightly."Allen removed the glass pieces from her hand carefully."Hold on.I'll get you a towel."


"Allen-kun..."Lenalee muttered as Allen wring the towel from a tub of water.


"This will hurt a little,so please bear with it."Allen said as he cleaned Lenalee's wound.She winced a little.


"Can't you be a little more gentler?"


"Bear with it.It's almost done."Allen said."You really shouldn't worry about me,Lenalee.The future would have to wait.The most important moment is the present."


"I know...but..."


"It'll be fine."Allen smiled."Where's the bandage?"


"It's in the cabinet on your right.The scissors,too."


Allen wrapped the bandage around her hand and cut it when he's done.


"We'll be home tomorrow,so you don't need to worry so much,all right?"


Lenalee nodded.


"I see you tomorrow,then."


"Wait!"


"Do you need anything?"


"Could you....stay for a while?"


"Shouldn't you be sleeping now?"


"I can't sleep.I'm afraid the dream would come back."


"All right.I'll stay for a bit.But promise me you'll go back to sleep."


"I promise."Lenalee smiled.
