After Red’s Dream

Road’s POV:

After Red's dream I was having thoughts about Red and how his life was. It was quite horrible.

I thought I did some sick stuff but I was proven wrong by those filthy sub humans. Weak little fools.

I decided I would go and talked to the Earl about Red. I didn't really know why I was thinking about Red and why I cared, but I did.

When I arrived at the Earls door and was about to knock there was a faint "come in."

I opened the door to see the Earl sitting down and knitting... well, something. I walked over to him and was about to say something when the Earl beat me to it.

"Road, what seems to be the problem?"

"I met this boy a couple days ago, his name is Red. He doesn't show any emotion because of what these villagers did to him. These villagers tried to burn him and they called him names too. I don't know why I care about him, I just do."

The Earl looked a little shocked before asking "How old is the boy?"

I thought about that question. I didn't know how old he is but he looked about seven.

"I think he's seven"

The Earl nodded before saying "Where is he? I would like to meet him."

This shocked me a bit. The Earl wants to meet Red. I was a little worried but happy that the Earl wanted to meet him.

I nodded and summoned a heart shaped door.

Me and the Earl walked through the door and found ourselves in an alleyway. I walked out of the alleyway and started to walk towards the circus. The Earl was in his human form so he wasn't wearing his creepy grin.

When arriving at the circus tent was shocking. I could see Red on the ground and being beaten by someone. I ran forward after the man walked back in to the tent. I tried to help Red up but he just kept falling down and grabbing his ribs. I could tell that the man who was hitting him may have, and probably had, broken some of his ribs.

The Earl walked over to see me helping Red. The Earl's eyes widened at the look of the boys state.

"Red? Are you all right?" I said in a worried voice.

Red just looked at me before shaking his head slowly. I helped him over to a box and tried to wipe the blood of his face with a rag I found.

The Earl walked to stand in front of the Red before kneeling. The Earl looked in to Red's emotionless eyes. There was something I saw on the Earl's face before he looked at me. He had a smile on his face but then is when Red spoke up. "Road, what are you doing here? And who's this?" Red pointed at the Earl. I smile and the Earl introduced himself.

"Hello little one, you can just call m,  Earl."

Red just looked at the Earl. "Well it's nice to meet you. You can call me Red cause I don't actually have a name."

Red's POV:

 I had just arrived back to the tent when Cosimo came out. He started to yell.


"BRAT, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU!"

I didn't make eye contact and was going to walk past him when he grabbed my hair and pulled me around to the side of the tent. 
There he started to kick me. 
He gave two really strong kicks to my ribs and I heard a loud crack as pain shot like lightning up my side. 
He hit me three more times before walking back inside the tent. I then felt two hands trying to help me up. But once I got up I fell back to my knees, grabbing my ribs. 

Then the person said "Red? Are you all right?" 

After that I knew it was Road who was helping me. I slowly shook my head because I could not find the words to answer her. She helped me over to a box and grabbed a rag out from nowhere and started to wipe away the blood. There was also another man there.

He had brown hair with a couple strips of grey. He had stubble on his face and dark blue almost indigo eyes.

The man with Road kneeled down in front of me and looked in to my emotionless eyes. He then started to smile which was kinda creepy. 

"Road, what are you doing here? And who's this?" I pointed at the man. I looked at Road. She was smiling. That is when the man said "Hello little one, you can just call me, Earl."

I looked at the Earl, his smile still plastered on his face. It was creepy, but I didn't mind. I then said. "Well it's nice to meet you. You can call me Red, cause I don't actually have a name."

"Red, do you have any family?"

I was thinking about the question. 'Do I have any family? Well the answer is obvious. I didn't have anyone. So, no.'

I looked up to the Earl. "No. I don't have anyone. My parents abandoned me at birth."

The Earl smiled kindly at me then turned to Road. "Road when we get home I have to tell you something." Road nodded and said "Red, If you need anything just dream and I will be there."

I nodded she gave me a hug and left. She walked over to the Earl. The Earl smiled at me. "Till we meet again, Red." They walked through the crowd and vanished in the sea of people. I limped away and started to hand out the meals to the circus people.

Road's POV:

We arrived back in the Ark and the Earl faced me. His smile was wider then it normal was. The Earl chuckled before saying. "Well, I think you may have just discovered a family member."

I smiled and tried not to squeal with joy. "Milliene, who is it?"

The Earl chuckled at my reaction. "I think he may be the fourteenth."

It has been thirty-five years since the fourteenth was alive. He was killed by exorcists. It was sad he saved the family though but the Ark locked itself to Edo, Japan.

"We should make the Order pay for what they had done to him. " A sadistic smile was now plastered on my face.

The Earl now was smiling a little wider. "Yes Road we will make them pay, but not until he awakens." With that me and the Earl walked to the dinning room to tell the rest of the family.

So This Was Alright?
