Mania

Chapter 2

Allen clawed at his forehead repeatedly, it just hurt. It hurt so much, someone make it stop. Yeah, that's right. Someone stop this pain, someone stop this suffering, someone sto-

Someone stop this war.

Allen just couldn't take it anymore, all this pain and suffering from not only him, but everyone he cared about and the humans he protected.

Humans, as if he weren't one.

Allen stopped clawing at his forehead and started thrashing around. He did not just think that. Allen was human. Yes, Allen was human. A human that harbors innocence, that's all. Besides, the Noah are human to-

Allen's eyes widened, he would not be grouped with them. He was not a Noah, never was and never will be. He would not except it, he would not. The pain came back and the cycle started over again. The restraints around Allen's arms only let his hands move to his forehead to scratch and cover the growing stigma. In a way, it was a torture in itself. Feeling the ever growing stigma in his forehead telling him in the undeniable fact that he was a Noa-

The restraints on his legs were too tight for him to move them anywhere and his neck itself was strapped down to the cold stone floor, a strap going right across the nape of his neck. To be said, his arms were the only parts of his body that he could move without feeling pain. He was sure that soon, his arms would be restrained too.

He let out a scream.

It wasn't only a scream of physical pain and agony but the pain of being beat down by something simple, by breaking the one thing he swore his life upon. Tied down like this, tied down by a destiny that he did not want, tied down by his own needs, tied down by whatever vile thing was hiding within him, he could not for the life of him move forward.

The pain in his head was ever growing. It made him woozy and over sensitive at the same time. He felt the small pebbles digging into the skin of his lower back and the only thing he could smell was death. Exactly how many before him were in this dark, desolate hole in the wall? Allen shook, how many had died here? He couldn't die here, he couldn't, not now, definitely not now. Tears treated down his paste like skin. He just couldn't.

「」

Lavi sighed in frustration, gripping his red hair tightly. It was slight but Kanda noticed the redhead's hands shaking ever so slightly. The stupid idiot was probably worrying himself over the idiot bean sprout. Kanda let out a 'tch' and looked away, a frown etching itself onto his face. The stupid bean sprout making people worry about him, he was obviously trying to do all the dangerous deeds on his own not caring that in the long run, it might hurt the people he was trying to save even more.

Still, Kanda could not stop the growing feeling of worry for the short white-haired boy.

「」

"Ah, Tyki-pet, how is Allen-kun faring?" Asked the Miloenium Earl.

"Seems that it is going to take longer than expected, Earl," replied Tyki. Tyki took in a deep inhale of his cigarette and blew out a large cloud of smoke. Tyki couldn't help but think about the boy, he was resisting the Noah inside of him, it was annoying as hell.

"Is he still trying to suppress his destiny?" Asked the Earl. Tyki did not respond. "Well, it seems my presence is needed." The Earl stopped and looked at Tyki,"Tyki, do not disturb me." Tyki nodded and flicked his cigarette. "Of course Earl." The Earl smiled even wider and vanished in thin air.

I wonder what he is going to do to the shounen.
