A/N Ayyyyyyy I'm not dead and I didn't forget about War and Death~!
"It's alright, Mystery."
"No it's not, Allen. I made a mistake."
"Yes, you did make a mistake, but it's alright."
"Is there a point to arguing with you at all?"
Allen shook his head. "Nope."
Sighing, Mystery took a step back. "Then I won't. Anyways, is saving me the only reason you came here?"
"I'd also come to ask you a question, Dark."
Mystery tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded. "Alright. Ask away, then."
"Why?"
"Why..? Why what?"
"Why'd you play dead...?" The Archangel sighed and looked down slightly.
Mystery shifted uncomfortably and waited a few minutes to answer, thinking. "You.. found me in a bad part of my life," she paused for a moment, "I was scared. I was depressed. I was confused. I was empty." She looked down at her feet like a child that did something wrong.
She waited for a reply that she didn't want to hear. She didn't want to think about what Allen would say to her. Would he just leave her without a thought? She couldn't deal with what'd just happened by herself. She was only seventeen in Starnian years. She didn't understand how people could look at her the same. They knew... they all knew. Allen wouldn't be so diffrent in his reaction if he found out, she thought.
"It's alright. Don't worry about it."
Mystery slowly looked up at the Archangel in front of her. "Is it really? Please, please be honest, Allen. I can't take the lies any longer. Is it really alright?" Tears slowly slipped down the woman's rosey cheeks and fell to the floor.
"Yes, Mystery. It's alright. I'm telling you the truth." Allen dried her tears and smiled down at her slightly.
Whining, Mystery hugged Allen tightly. Why would he have any reason to lie to her? She took a shaky breath and looked up at the massive man she was hugging.
"I guess you've got to go now, huh?"
"Depends. I need to leave to get your nephew, anyways."
"Yeah," Mystery paused for a moment, a sudden thought popping into her mind, "Thank you for taking care of him. I'm not sure how he got on your planet..." She trailed off.
"Not entirely sure myself."
"I don't think he even knows."
"Yeah..." Allen looked as though he was deep in thought. "Anyway, I need to get your nephew."
"Alright."
With that, Allen disappeared.
