Fics: A Peek into Cross Marian's Mind 5 & Between Sanity and Insanity
I brought two fics with me. Please read and review. Also, please tell me if there's any mistake :)
Title: Between Sanity and Insanity
Character: Allen Walker (mention of other characters too)
Summary: The process of the 14th's awakening is subtle, but not for long.
Warning for content!
Link: on FF
Title: A Peek into Cross Marian's Mind
Character: Cross Marian, Allen Walker, Maria
Summary: He pointed to the unsuspecting boy. "Sing, Maria."
Alternate Link: the 5th chapter on FF
5. Alleviation/Mitigation
The small town was quiet, even the market in the middle of the town was almost deserted. Most of the people had packed their things and went inside to seek early shelter from the impending rain. Although those who remained weren't getting any progress with their packing as two people—a tall man wearing an expensive looking coat and an odd child with white hair following him, held their attention.
The general Cross Marian briskly walked across the road seemingly ignorant of the stares he got. The heaving child—his newly acclaimed apprentice Allen Walker was having troubles following the man's pace, but Cross wouldn't relent. Actually, Cross was trying to make his new apprentice snap. Why? The boy hadn't spoken properly ever since that night more than one month ago, so maybe if Cross managed to make the boy snap... Anyway, anything but this sorry excuse of a half-conscious-emotionally-unstable new apprentice. The boy was gonna ruin his charm if nothing was done.
They finally sighted an inn just in time before the torrential downpour started. Cross entered the threshold first, immediately reserving a room with two beds in it. Allen came in later than Cross, soaked wet from head to toe yet the boy didn't seem to mind it. Cross merely stared at him, clearly displeased by his latest antic.
The owner of the inn was eyeing the small boy worriedly. "Sir, he needs to change clothes otherwise he might get sick." Cross associated the woman's advice to maternal instinct. Women...
"Yeah, sure, whatever."
Yet Cross found himself staring down at the boy in the privacy of their room. "Change your clothes, I don't like water puddles in my room." Tossing his luggage by the bed he added, "Clean the mess up after you've changed. I'm going to sleep." Yeah, no food, booze or women to enjoy today. He drifted to a light slumber while cursing the inn for having none of those facilities.
Cross jolted awake when lightnings thundered the sky. The rain had not let up even a bit and it seemed to be getting worse by the second. His attempt to resume sleeping failed when a quiet sobbing reached his ears. Dammit, how was he going to get a decent rest like this?
Although Allen was better than the first hellish two weeks, it was still trying Cross' patience. So far, all the advices his girlfriends gave weren't doing much good to fix his new apprentice. The boy still acted lifeless and cried all the time. If only he could find a way to ease the boy...
Wait, maybe he could. A smirk formed on his lips as he softly recited the mantra to call forth Maria. The last chain came undone and the beautifully dressed corpse emerged from the confines of the black steel coffin. He pointed to the unsuspecting boy. "Sing, Maria. Enter his head and ease him." He watched Maria sang as the sobbing quieted down and the boy finally slept peacefully, freed from his inner demons. Cross figured it was about time they got the rest they both deserved. Maria was sent back to her coffin when Cross was sure Maria had done her job on his new apprentice. Since the boy wouldn't be so much of a wreck from now on, he could finally start the "lessons" he had spent three years plotting.
The smug grin adorning his face changed to a bitter smile as he observed the innocent expression on his apprentice's slumbering face.
But for tonight, he would let him slumber in peace. It was the least he could do.
Sorry, for the first fic (Between Sanity and Insanity) I only linked it to the one posted on FF. I'm a bit hesitant of posting it here for the content is rather disturbing.

Thanks for posting!

I got the idea from Allen himself (remember when he grumbled to Link about his master and Maria doing things to him while sleeping?).

Link and Allen had lots of comical moments there. The extra page from the tankoubon for this chapter was funny too (if not a bit weird) XD

Anyway, thanks for always reviewing and correcting my grammar :D
