A soft, white light fell through the windows as I looked outside, my eyes focusing on the passing scenery.

Gray clouds lined the horizon, as a soft, melodious rhythm tapped onto the glass.

The sound of the chugging of the train blended in with the tap of the pouring rain.

Where am I going.

I already know.

I am going to the black order.

Lucy

You always liked the rain.

It reminded me of music.

My eyebrows furrowed, trying to remember a melody learned long ago. A lovely silence filled the compartment as I concentrated on the imaginary music. She had given me my first cello, and it had been beautiful. On rainy days like this, she would get out her own cello and play. I still remember those days. The sweet smell of pie and cinnamon would tickle my nostrils, and the deep sound of her playing would fill the house. The rain would create a soft beat as she played, and the music would lull me into a warm and safe feeling.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

It reminded me of music.

Teidol had asked me. He had asked me if I would go. I told him I would, if I didn't central would complain. I had already traveled with him for three years. Three was long enough.

I had to go to the black order.

I honestly didn't want to, and Teidol didn't want it either. Both of us knew I would be used. A new general is always nice. It isn't nice when you are the one risking your life. But I was used to it.

I had died to many times to care anymore.

She would have scolded me if she had heard me say that. Lucy would have too. But I don't mind, it is true. They aren't even here anymore. I wish I could join them.

But I can't.

I have to go to the black order.

I've been hiding long enough. I have to face central now and take my rightful place as an exorcist. Central will force me to become general once they see my sync rate.

Lucy would be mad.

The hardest part was taking Margo. I had promised to always take care of her, of course she would follow me to the order.

But it is dangerous.

She hadn't batted an eye.

Sighing, I stared at the sky until finally, we arrived at our destination.

The train came to a shaky halt, and I struggled to get up off my seat. Angel, my golem, flew down from her perch.

I picked up Margo, careful not to wake her, and hopped off the train, proceeding into the town. I looked around at the various shops, and checked the map, noting that the black order was on a cliff, somewhere in the forest behind the city. I refolded the map, adjusted Margo's position in my arms, and walked around the busy stalls until the city ended at the edge of the forest. I kept walking, and when no one could see me, I activated my wings.

Ever since the 'incident' where I was blessed, my wings would be activated rather than stay on my back, and they would be made out of ice or water. I quickly flew to the black order, careful as to not show up on their cameras until my wings were put away. I walked towards the entrance, and waited.

-No ones POV-

Komui looked at the screen. A girl with long, black hair that was tied into a ponytail stood in front of the door. She had a blue ribbon around her hair, her face framed by two pieces of hair that came down to her breasts as well as side swept bangs. She wore a black skirt, a white dress shirt with no sleeves and back, a blue tie, black, thigh-length socks, white, fingerless gloves that reached her biceps, and black combat boots. Two chains laid around her neck one gold and one silver, the gold one holding keys of many different colors, the silver one holding a silver locket. One of her eyes was blue, and the other was gray, a white pentagram taking the place of her pupil. A white line went down that eye, zigzagging at the end into a white circle on her cheek. On the side of her face, not connected to her scar, was a blue tattoo of roses that framed her face. She was carrying a small girl in her arms, around the age of 9, who had brown, short hair and was dressed in a pink sweater and blue pants along with pink boots. She had a pink hat on with bunny ears, and appeared to be sleeping.

Curiosity filled the habitants of the small room, a room filled with many different screens.

Whispers and questions fled across the room, the people excited since no one had come in the front entrance since Allen had arrived. Their small chatter was quickly hushed by the loud booming voice of the man in the white beret.

"State your name and reason for being here" he quickly said into the microphone.

The girl looked straight into the camera before answering, her melodious low voice commanding and firm, but also gentle.

"I am Alice Heartfilia. Age 15 and I am here on recommendation from General Teidoll. There should be a recommendation letter that arrived 3 weeks ago. I assume that I will now be scanned?" the girl said.

The man in the white beret quickly pushed a few scientists into the mess that was his office, ordering for them to search the mountains of papers that he kept.

Alice turned to the gatekeeper, waiting to be scanned. She had been briefed by Teidol on the procedures, and was well aware of the scanning. What caught her by surprise through, was the loud bellowing of the stone face after her scan.

"Akuma! She's and Akuma!" The gatekeeper squealed. Alice flinched at being called an akuma, old memories burned into her mind, but then quickly shrugged it off and sighed turning around. Right as she did, a man with black, long hair jumped at her with a katana. Realizing that Margo was in danger, she quickly activated her innocence and chanted the familiar phrase, Ice Make: SHEILD. Of course, no one heard her chant the spell since she did it in her head, and because of that fact, people were in awe to see her skills.

The black haired swordsman quickly jumped back, his eyes gleaming menacingly.

"What the hell kind of akuma are you?"

Alice looked at the man with annoyance.

"I'm not an akuma, I just have a blessing that resembles a pentagram. I am an exorcist" she explained.

The black haired man tsked before brandishing his sword once more.

"I won't fall for your tricks, petty akuma!"

"Stop Kanda! She is an exorcist"

He stopped, his sword inches away from her face.

"KOMUI!" Kanda yelled at the camera.

"Sorry about that, hehe. I found the letter, so no need to worry, she's clean". The gates opened, and Kanda Tch'ed before he grumpily walked through. A girl with green ponytails hopped up to Alice, quickly introducing herself as Lenalee Lee, and promptly led Alice to her room. She tucked Margo into the bed and left her room to see a man with purple hair and a white beret.

"I'm Komui Lee, and welcome to the Black Order".
