CHAPTER 4: End of the ride?!

Lavi heard a knock on the door. 'Amaryllis?' He thought questioningly. It wasn't time yet for the high-leveled Altered Akuma to check in on them. She had an hour ago told Lavi (while Allen was sleeping) that they had four hours till they got to their destination. It was three hours too early. They were still in the mountains.

Lavi opened the door to a worried look on the forementioned akuma. "Lavi, allen..." She started 'Allen' he questioned internally. Having to always be open to questioning every situation. His bookman training having kicked in like always, like it ever stopped being apart of him. The red head turned and noticed that Allen sure enough had woken up and was standing. "We've got company." she said stating the obvious. Obvious because when lavi looked at Allen his cursed pentical eye was activated. Which also solved Allen's sight problem.

Allen's POV

I felt my eye hurt in the familiar pang. 'Akuma.' I opened my eyes. Having been awoken from a dream that seemed to have been important but now forgotten, exactly what it was about no longer being as urgent. The pressing matter was now the akuma which ranged in between level 2 and 3. The akuma were in a large horde of maybe as few as 50. Our work was cut out for us. As I stood on my feet wairily I thought. 'How could I fight with only the black and white world to work with?'

The door opened which brought me out of my thoughts and Amaryllis spoke "Lavi, Allen.. We've got company." As I heard an explosion from further up, probably the front of the train, and envokes my innocence. Rushing to help fellow passengers and to eliminate the beasts I was made to save.

"ALLEN WAIT!" I heard Lavi yell but by that time it was alreadytoolate.

PART TWO

"ALLEN WAIT!" He hears his friend say. Allen could feel someone push him out of the way and he hears another explosion. A ringing floods his ears for a small amount of time after the explosion, not more than 15 seconds. Lasting for only about five to ten seconds till his hearing comes back. As he places his hands on the body of the person whom has pushed him out of the way of the explosion, allen can feel the familiarity of the said person. Almost sensing who it is, probably is because he can't see him (because he didn't feel boobs) but also could be because he heard him yell only moments before him.

"Lavi..." Allen breathes, recognition in his voice. The fellow exorcist is breathing hard, as so because of running to save allen. And also because of pain, though allen didn't know that. "Are you okay?" Allen asks. Something he wouldn't have needed to ask if he wasn't blinded to everything but the black and white realm. This lack of sight is slowly angering the cursed teen more and more. The blindness becoming even more of a hindrance.

Allen had thought that he could still be useful but just now was shown he could no longer be. Frustrated Allen is having a hard time retaining his cool. He flinches as Lavi's voice brings him out of his thoughts. "I'm fine, Al. I am glad you are safe." Allen holds onto Lavi's arm not being able to see anything else.

"I'm glad you're fine too." Allen says softly. Looking down more out of a habit because of being sad, ashamed and embaressed. He was angry at himself aswell. Allen of these newly expressed emotions being heavily because of his lack of sight. This look was tugging on Lavi's heart strings, why was Allen like this? Could it be because of not wanting to be abandoned again, though never really truly being left behind by lavi before. Maybe he was taught or trained to be like this because of his neglecting master? All these questions weren't really thought of on purpose, more like a subconscious action.

The whitette can feel a hand on his face. "Its alright. Your just not used to not being able to see!" Lavi says comforting. Feeling compelled to do something to help the beanchan. Lavi lets his hand go to move it to his side. The second lavi doing this they heard something causing Allen's head to shoot up and so does Lavi's. "Shit." One of them says as he sees the akuma that caused the explosion. That akuma had been watching then since he burst into their car. And now it realized both of them were incompasitated in one way or another.

'Well at least I'm with allen', thought lavi, 'I can die protecting him.' Lavi knew that they were skrewed, with Allen's inability to see and his (Lavi's) own injuries that he knew would prevent him from standing, they couldn't fight. Lavi recognized (for the third time [other times getting hit by an akuma then falling in water only to be saved by krory drinking the akuma blood from him, and two was when the ark started crumbling and he fell, allen saving him that time.] Now it seemed) that he was going to die [once again from an akuma]. But now at least he was able to do so with Allen, the boy who seemed to be occupying his mind for the past several months.

But as lavi awaited their fate, having pushed allen down behind himself so that he would be the one the akuma would face first, the fate didn't come. Amaryllis whom had been knocked out during the explosion had awoke. And seeing as that the level three has raised its limb for a killing blow, she sprung into action. "DEVOUR!"

As she yelled Allen saw what only his unseeing cursed eyes could see in the world Lavi deemed as hell. And Allen was sure, now more than ever, that he was right. Allen cried out as he covered his eyes. The curse mark was throbbing in pain, it seemed a good deal greater than the normal pain, at the very least Ten times what he saw when akuma self destructed before. He could feel a tear slip down his face.

Amaryllis was warned of this happening after she revealed this power in front of her master cross, and she told Allen "Get past it, I know what ever you saw must've been bad but I need you to do what I can't. I'll destroy the akuma, a different way then now... Don't worry. Just stop his bleeding. Can't have an exorcist die now, can we?" Amaryllis tossed her vest, which she had been unbuttoning as she spoke, to allen. "Its his left torso."
