Authors note: so this story's based off of the movie the labyrinth, awesome movie even though its old. ( David Bowie looks hot in it :P lol) but if you haven't seen it id recommend you see it but you can still read and understand the story if you don't. Now im taking a break from crona x maka and im opening the pairings up to you guys. For maka it's ether going to be maka x soul or maka x asura. Crack vs. cannon people so please review and tell me what you want! Alright lets begin.
chapter one: a day in the life of maka albarn
"Give me the child.., through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the goblin city to take the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom is as great-" the young ash-blonde girl takes a slight breathe, about to say the next line when a loud boom of thunder cuts her off. She looks up at the once bright sky to see a couple of dark clouds roll in. "For my will is as strong as yours...and my kingdom is as great." the girl repeats in a whisper trying to recall the next line but it doesn't come to her. "Ugh I always forget this line!" she grumbles and pulls out a little red book from inside her black coat pocket titled, "the labyrinth." she opens the book up and her eyes scan the pages for the information she wants. "You have no power over me." the girl finishes in a whisper. A louder boom of thunder responds to her line. The girl looks up at the dark clouds hovering above her with indifference as a cat meows loudly trying to get her owner's attention. The girl looks over at her light purple cat thats currently sitting on the white park bench with its hair all sticking up, meowing at her.
"Oh Blair.." she sighs. The girl was regretting bring the cat to practice.
"Meow." Blair gives her a cute little face that almost looks like a pout..( The girl chuckles to herself at the idea of a cat pouting) and leans her head down at hearing the disappointment in her owner's voice causing her little witch's hat to fall off.
"Don't give me that look." she giggles as she picks up the little black hat and puts it back on her pet. She made the little witches hat herself with some black fabric (that she stole from her step mom), some wire to go at the top to give the tip a spiral look, and some white fabric to make a single strip on the hat. She had gotten the idea from a book she read about a year ago about a witch and the adventures she had with her little purple cat. The only reason the girl got the cat was because it reminded her of the one in her story. It was a black cat but whenever the girl goes out to practice, she color's it's hair with temporary hair spray to make it have purple hair like the cat from the story. She liked to pretend this little kitten is the actually cat from the story, it makes the animal more interesting and fun. If not for her imagination , it would just be a boring black fur ball.
The sound of bells fills the girl's ears, causing her to whip around in horror to look at the clock tower thats going off in the distance. "Oh no Blair! I don't believe it, its 7 o clock!" she had lost track of time again. She usually does when she goes out to the town's park to practice. Every day after school, she would go to the park to read her favorite stories and act them out. Lately the girl has been obsessed with one book in particular, the labyrinth. She really liked the main character of the story so she would dress up like her and pretend she was her; that she was the one who fought to get to the castle, that she was the one the goblin king loved. Sometimes it got hard to separate reality and her imagination. It felt to real to be pretend. Once she left the park though, her mind crashes down back to reality, she's once again boring 15- year old maka albarn. "Come on we got to go!" maka starts running calling back to the cat who was more then happy to be leaving. Blair meows in response and quickly goes running after her. Unknown to both of them they were being watched by a black owl with 3 vertical eyes imprinted on its wings. It watched the two leave the park from a tree branch hidden by the tree's leaves with longing in its eyes before it fly's away.
Just when Blair and maka get out of the park it starts raining.
"Shit." maka quickly picks up the shaking Blair and shoves her into her coat so she won't get wet. Blair curls up against her chest and mew's in thanks. She runs across the street hugging the bundle to her chest so the cat wouldn't fall out. A car beeps at her for cutting it off but she ignores it. She's got to get home. Her bangs start to stick to her face as she runs past a bunch of stores( she never bothered to even look at, she's broke), and makes a right. Her huge black coat is getting heavier and heavier by the minute making it hard for the tiny girl to run. She quickly takes a short cut threw the forest and see's her huge white house with her step mom waiting for her on the porch. Shit.
"It's not fair!" maka wines as she stomps the last couple of steps, stopping before the stairs of the porch.
"Oh really?" her step mom places a hand on her hip as she spits sarcasm. Maka did not like her step mom, not one bit. She was nothing like her real mother. Her mother was brave, beautiful, kind, strong, and understanding. This woman had none of those qualities, she would never understand why her father married her but this woman will never be her mother or anything close to it.
"Im sorry." maka grumbles and grips the bundle of fur closer to her chest. She hated having to say sorry to this woman.
"Well don't stand there in the rain, come on!" she glares at her and looks at how wet she is with disprovement
"Fine." maka walks up onto the pouch. "You can come out now Blair." the little kitten pokes its head out from the coat and lets out a pleased meow happy to be home before it hops out, completely running inside the house.
"Ugh disgusting." the woman winkles up her nose (like the rest of her face maka thought) " why does spirit let you keep that thing?"
"Whats wrong Azua." make sneers marching into the house. "Afraid of cats?"
"No animals are just disgusting!" she squeaks marching after her. She always raised her voice when ever she got pissed. The woman was trying to be big but just ended up sounding like a mouse. When she doesn't response to that, she slams the front door " maka you're an hour late!"
"I said I was sorr-
"Please let me finish!" the woman squeaks walking closer to maka who had stopped walking away from her. Maka gives her a face but stays silent. The woman takes a breath then begins. "You know me and your father rarely go out-
"you guys go out ever single weekend." maka shakes her head, whipping her pigtails.
"-and I ask you to babysit only if it won't interfere with your plans." she squeaks again.
"Well how would you know?" maka turns on her heel and starts heading up the stairs but stops on the second step. "You don't know what my plans are, you don't even ask anymore!"
"I'd assume that you would tell me if your doing something, I'd like if you would have a date, you should be having dates at your age." she chuckles. "Instead of getting all dirty at the park all the time!"
"Oh maka my lovely daughter, your home! Daddy was so worried about you!" spirit comes out of the room at the top of the stairs and jumps down towards his daughter with joy. Arms wide open and everything. Maka just rolls her eyes and moves out of her father's path causing him to tackle her step mom. She would have laughed if she wasn't so pissed.
"Leave me alone." she growls as she marches up the stairs to her room and slams the door.
Once maka is out of sight, the step mother pushes spirit off her and sighs. "She treats me like im a wicked step mother from one of her fairytale stories no matter what I say." she pushes her glasses back up her nose that spirt knocked down when he tackled her.
"Ill talk to her, Azua ." spirit grabs her hand and gives his wife a peck on the lips before heading up the stairs after his daughter. Azua watches him go and sighs. All she can do is wait.
Sooooo what do you think? Oh and I don't own soul eatter or any ideas I get from the laybrith. Review please! Byeee.
