After Allen escaped the black order
Allen walked through the ark while still thinking about Lenalee and the others. It really broke his heart to leave them, they were his family. A family who maybe will see him as their enemy. Allen stared down at his innocence and couldn't help to let the tears escape from his eyes. He didn't want to be their enemy, and he didn't want to fight them. He just wished all this was a bad dream, and he would wake in his bed and later go down and eat Jerry delicious breakfast and talk with his friends. But he knew this wasn't a dream, and at some point, he will have to fight them. Fight his family that accepted him, like Mana. Allen took a deep sigh before he walked out from the ark and saw the familiar church cover in soft white snow. It was so bright and beautiful, it almost made him forget what happened in the order. Like, come from hell to heaven. He slowly walked through the snow, and the closer he got to the church he could hear the happy voice of Barba escaping through the walls. When he finally comes to the door he knocked weakly on the wooden door and waited. After a few seconds, the door opened, and Barba dressed in Manas clown peaked out his head and looked really surprised to see Allen covered in bruises and dry blood on his clothes.
" Mother, speak of the devil!." Yelled Barba and held out his arm, like he was ready to catch Allen when he falls.
" Am okay Barba." Said Allen with a weak smile.
" No, you not." Said Barba with a very serious face, a face that Allen was surprised to see on Barba.
" He is right, you look like hell."
Allen sigh and looked at Mother who walked down to him. " Good evening, Mother."
Mother looked at him with a sad face, and when she finally comes up to him. she touched his face and shook her head. " The black order is after you, aren't they?."
Allen looked down so his long white hair could cover his face. " Did you know the first time I come here, that I was the 14th?." He glanced thought his hair to stare at her.. Somewhere inside him he wanted to believe that she and Barba didn't know anything about him being the 14th, but Allen could see on mother face that she knew.
" I didn't know at first, I thought you were only a sad kid who lost everything." She sighed and sat down on one of the dusty wooden bentch, while Barba pushed Allen gently in the church and closed the door.
" What are you going to do now?." She fished up a cigarette and light it.
Allen sat down on the bench in front of mother. " I need to borrow some clothes."
Mother made a small node and blew out some smoke. " Must be your lucky day, a woman came here a few days ago and left some clothes. Her older son didn't need them anymore, and I think they will fit you." She glanced at Barba who was still dressed in the clown clothes " And take your fathers clothes too."
Barba nod and smiled. " Yeah, you need them more than us."
" Thanks," Allen looked down and mother could see he was in deep thoughts.
" What are you thinking about?."
Allen took a deep breath. " I was thinking about finding my real family."
Both mother and Barba stared at him in surprise.
" I lost Mana, and I maybe have to fight my family at the order. I just want to find my real family and just get some answer. Did they abounded me because of my arm?. Or.." He looked down at his innocence. " Did they abounded me for something else?."
Mother cough. " Do you have any lead were to find your real family?."
Allen shook his head. " No, but I know where to go first."
" Where? " asked Barba
" To the orphanages, i ran away from when I was little. They maybe know something."
Mother didn't ask him where this orphanage was, she decided it was best if she and Barba didn't know anything about it. But at least she could help him recover till he got a little of his strength back.
Allen stayed at the church for three days and left early in the morning before Mother and Barba woke up from their slumber. He knew they would try to make him stay longer till his wounds were completely healed, but he couldn't stay. Somehow the order or the Noah would find him there, and he would put mother and Barba in danger. What he didn't know when he walked out from the church, Mother was watching him from her small window and signed.
" Good luck, Allen."
