A War Inside - Allen Walker Love story-

2- Innocence

I stood on a platform rising up and the surrounding blackness bothered me, Though after a few minutes or so I was able to see a bright light, that bright light shaped into a figure that looked like a giant snake. I back up a little, I was in a place full of uncertainties and I needed to make sure I would be safe. I could feel my hand grip tightly on the guard rails. I looked at Komui, "What is that?"

       Komui chuckled at my refrain, "You have no reason to fear, or to hold back. What you see is Hevlaska, she is an exorcist here as well."

       I inched forward, "She is a little...she seems a little scary." I stepped back again once we were face to face. She was much larger than me by an unmeasurable amount and like I thought she had a body that was somewhat similar to a snake and though she didn't seem tangible, she wasn't scary like I had originally thought, in fact in my eyes was beautiful. Curiosity got the better and I reached out towards her.

       "What are you doing," Komui pulled me out of my thoughts, He looked at me with confusion
I pulled my arm away and looked at her in great awe, "She's... she's just so.. so beautiful. I had to see if she is real,"

       Komui still looked at me in confusion, he shook his head and looked up, "These are the great generals, they are the gentlemen we answer too."

       "She is special, " A voice bellowed down from above. I took note of the five people sitting above Hevlaska.

       "God has truely graced us with his presence," another spoke.

       I looked over at Komui he had a serious look on his face,"Now then Aylin. Show us whether your abilities are worthy of fighting for the cause."

       I felt myself get picked up and I looked to see it was Hevlaska, as I was being lifted my jacket, that had been loosely resting on my arms, fell off. I then I felt something attach to my back, my arm and my face. I thought they had been arms but they had had a tentacle like appearance, and I could feel them moving throughout my body. Yet I welcomed the foreignness, I didn't feel like I was in danger. I looked at her as she got closer to my face and almost out of instinct I put my hands on the sides of her face, and our foreheads touched. A bright light pierced the darkness around, closing my eyes I let the warm welcoming light consume me.

       "Two percent..... eleven percent.... twenty-five percent.... thirty-three percent.... sixty-seven percent..... eighty-six percent..... ninety- eight percent, " I felt her pull away and the light faded, I looked up at Hevlaska and smiled, "Ninety-eight percent is the maximum synchro rate you and your weapon are capable of," She placed me back on the platform and the tentacle like arms receded, I reached out my arm. I had felt so at peace, for that singular moment I wasn't afraid. Not of anything. I had felt invincible, "Aylin Hope Dotson, You're innocence will produce an angel of destiny, you in the future will bring light back to a time of great darkness. You are special indeed."

       I heard clapping in the background, "As I said Hevlaska is an exorcist, but she aids us in knowing the strength in other exorcists, she also tells us prophecies of somethings that are to come, and though they are cryptic they are quite amazing and very true." Komui put a hand on my shoulder, "You and that Walker kid are going to be something special."

       "Walker," I asked confused.

       He pushed his glasses back up, "Yes, The boy with the white hair, Allen Walker, he was told by Hevlaska that his innocence would create a Destroyer of Time. Though I do not know what either of these things mean I have a feeling you guys are going to be fairly important in the fight against the Earl."

       After having the meeting with Hevlaska I went looking for Allen. Looking around I had just realized the sheer size of this place, though when you have people chasing after you, you don't really notice the details. Continuing to look around I came across the girl I had seen earlier, she was carrying a tray of coffee mugs, "Hey! Uh excuse me," She stopped and turned to me. I ran closer to her, "Uh... Hi..," I tried catching my breath, "It's Linalee right?"

       "Yeah, You're Aylin right? I'm surprised you recognized me seeing as we only met briefly," she said.

       I laughed a little, "I make it a point to try and not forget people. Anyway do you know where Allen might be?"

       She started to say something and then stopped, "You know I don't. But if it doesn't trouble you I was going to give some of the others their daily coffee. Would you mind helping me?"

       I knew she was hiding something though I didn't press the issue, "Uh.. Yeah sure.."
