Allen woke up by somebody shaking him.

"Allen, wake up."

Allen groaned and pulled the blanket over his head. " Just 5 more minutes."

"But Allen, Mr. Swaali is back. If you want to talk to him you better do it now. He has a very busy schedule."

Allen slowly opened his eyes and saw Tina standing beside his bed, with a big smile on her face.

" Did you sleep well?."

Allen pushed himself up so he could sit up and rubbed his head. He didn't know why, but his head was pounding painfully like somebody was hitting his head with an iron fist. But he slept like a baby through the whole night.

Tina watched him and looked worried. " Does your head hurt?."

Allen nodded, but quickly regret when he felt the pounding getting worse when he nodded. " AAHH!!."

Allen held his head and laid back down on the bed. Tina watched him with big eyes and had a small smirk on her lips that Allen didn't see.

Allen breathed heavily and buried his head in the pillow. " I think am sick."

Tina put a hand on his shoulder. " You should lay in bed till you feel better."

"B...But...i need to talk to Mr. Swaali." He tried to sit up again, but the pain was getting worse and worse and made it hard for him to see what was up and what was down.

"AAAHHH!."

Tina held him down. " you not well enough to even stand up, let me get Mr. Swaali instead."

Allen took a few deep breath. " A..Alright." He laid back down and tried to ignore the pain, while Tina walked out from the room with narrow eyes.

Tina walked to the kitchen and saw Nina standing there with crossed arms, and a man who didn't look older than 40 stood beside her. He had short brown hair, outgrowing beard on his chin and was dressed in a dirty white shirt, brown pants, black boots and a gray append. A red spade tattoo was visible on his neck when Tina took a few step closer.

The man scratched his neck and looked at the door, where Tina came from. " How many apples did you give him?."

" 2."

The man smirked. " At least we know he won't go soon." He picked up one of the apples from Tina's basked that was on the kitchen table and stared at it. " I hope 'they'won't be mad at us, for making that boy sick." He put the apple back in the basket. " But I don't understand why they want him, he was supposed to be dead the first second he came to this world."

Nina and Tina glanced at each other before Nina begins to speak.

" You know it's not our place to ask against their decision, but do you think the elder knows about this?."

The man shook his head. " I don't think so if the elder knew that this boy is still alive they would have sent us to kill him. Their rules are very clear that when a child is born with a innocence in that family, it must be killed before it even opened its eyes."

He scratched his tattoo on his neck and sigh. " But I respect Blue so I won't ask any more about this." He walked out from the kitchen, and Tina glanced at the window.

" We will get another problem soon, more exorcists and Akuma are around the forest. It won't be long till they walk in here."

Tina begins to bite her nail on her thumb and looked really Troubled. "It's not long till they realize nobody in this villages are not humans."

"Hey son, heard you didn't feel so well?."

Allen opened his eyes when he hears that unfamiliar voice and saw a man who didn't look older than 40 smiling at him and sat down in a chair beside the bed.

"Mr. Swaali?." Allen has imaged the man much older like an old grandpa with a cane or something."

The man nodded. " Yes, son. Heard you wanted to ask me something, something very important."

"Yes," Allen tried to sit up, but he was still dizzy and didn't see so good.

Mr. Swaali held him down. " Just stay down, son. I don't want you to fall down and hit your head on something."

"Sorry, I don't know why I feel so bad. I felt great yesterday."

The man shook his head. " Yesterday was yesterday, son. Today is another day and every day is not the same."

Allen chuckled and couldn't help to smile. " That true." Allen glanced at his bag. " Can you pull out a blanket from my bag?. I think you made it."

Mr. Swaali bent down and looked through Allen's bag and after a few seconds he fished up the beautiful red blanket from the bag. Mr.Swaali put the blanket over his legs and caressed it with his fingertips. " Awe, I remember this. I made it 16 years ago for young women and her daughter."

Allen's eyes widen. "Can you tell me about them?."

Mr. Swaali looked at him and looked to be in deep thought. " Thye come from a very special family, one of the richest family in the world. The women were very beautiful and kind to everybody." He rubbed his eyes. " But the day I made this, she and her daughter were really scared like somebody was chasing them. And asked me to saw the name 'Red' on this blanket as fast as possible."

Allen forced himself up and ignore the pain. " Did they say what or who was chasing them?."

Mr. Swaali shook his head. " No, but it was probably for the best."

"What?." Allen stared at him confused. " Why are you saying that?."

"Son, everybody knows that getting involved in one of the richest family in the world problems is really bad. Once you are involved, you are involved forever."

Allen looked down and took a deep breath. " Do you know their last name?."

He nodded. " Yes, their last name was..."

"Bang!!!."

" Looks like the exorcisto and the Akuma didn't want to wait anymore." Said the boy while looking down from the clock tower at the explosion. Behind him stood the two hooded people with crossed arms. The tall one walked closer to the edge and stared down when an army of exorcisto begin to walk into Mr. Swaali's house. Not far behind came an army of Akuma, mixed with level 3 and 4.

"Oh boy, red is really in trouble now." The tall one turned to the other hooded person, who looked down on the floor in deep thought. " What do you think, Blue?. Should we interfere?."

The other one didnt say anything for a few minutes before walk up to the edges.

"Let's see what Red will do in this situation, and we interfere when it looks like he will lose. We going to break many rules, White. But its worth it to get our little brother back." Their eyes begin to glow pure white and they both smiled down at the fight.

The tall one chuckled. " This is going to be fun."
