The Marshal's Daughter (D.Gray-Man/DGM Fanfic)

Chapter 9: Trapped

In the unknown dimension, Allen and Miranda were the only ones awake while the two female Exorcists are still in slumber. The poor woman was terrified on how things have turned out.

"The Noah Clan? You're human?!" Allen yells, looking at her once again with his cursed eye. The Akumas had their souls shown, but Road and Lenalee had no souls coming out of their body.

"Shh, Lady Road! Don't spread information about who we are to these outsiders!" A pink umbrella with a pumpkin head was talking and moving on its own. It's the golem of the Millennium Earl.

"Why not?"

"You just can't, Lero! Our making contact with them is not in Lord Millenium's plan, Lero! You already took me without permission!" Lero, the umbrella golem, scolds Road.

Allen tries to pull his arm out from the wall, which is pierced by bolts. Veins started to appear from the stress and he managed to unpierce his arm. Road and Lero looked dumbfounded, not expecting him to rip the dimension a little.

Road approaches Allen with a grin. "Why can't you believe that I'm human?" She hugs Allen slowly and softly, making him feel her heartbeat.

"Aren't I warm? Don't I feel like other humans? I'm Road Kamelot, a genuine human being."

As Allen was about to attack Road, he felt her heartbeat and it caused him to stop. He just can't bring himself to harm something that has a beating heart.

"We're the same and yet..." Allen was frustrated and confused. If she's human, why is she siding with the Akuma?

"The same? Not quite."

"Not quite? We're totally the opposite, monster." Iris coughed. She finally regained consciousness.

"Iris!" Allen called out.

With Road grinning because of the prefect timing, she grabs Allen's arm and attacked herself with it. Smoke started to emit from her head, the part that was injured. Road falls to the floor and Iris can see it clearly. That was not the end of it though.

The Noah grabs Allen by the collar and pulls herself up. Her skin was ripped from her face and her flesh was dark as dried blood.

"You see, we're superior, for we hold genes of Noah, the strongest human being. Just like what redhead onee-san said, we're not the same. We're different from you half-arses!" Road's skin restored and she backs away from Allen with a smirk on her face.

The candles floating around all targeted Allen and one of them pierces his left eye, causing the silverette to yell in pain. "Allen!" Iris yells, wide-eyed.

The candle rolled off to the floor and Road grabs it, licking the blood from the sharp candle and laughs.

"You really are disgusting monsters." Iris says in disgust. To think she'll encounter a Noah here and now. Cross told her about the Noah's existence, but to think she'll encounter one just defies the rules of probability.

She tries release herself from the chains but she just can't move around easily. With her body hanging in the air, it was also painful on her wrists, which is the one being restrained.

"All I think is killing you all half-arsed men. I hate this whole messed up world. You should all just die!" Road says, never leaving that grin off her face.
