Darkness…w-why…why was it so dark? Maka's mind was racing and clouded with thoughts as she drifted in the seemingly endless darkness. Where was she? Which way was up? Down? What was going on? Suddenly, she caught a flicker of light a little ways ahead. 'What the…?' She thought as she started to make her way towards the light. Just a little bit closer… Suddenly, the light surrounded her and pulled her in, making her gasp and clench her eyes shut from the brightness.

After a few moments, she forced her eyes to open and blinked a few times to adjust to the light. A white room…with only a single black door across from her. She walked slowly towards it and stopped a few feet from it. Just when she reached towards the knob, it swung open slowly. She hesitantly took a tiny step back as it stopped when it was wide open. She looked at the doorway and then walked slowly in. Suddenly, she heard the door slam behind her and she whipped around in alarm. There was nothing there… 'Something's definitely not right…' She thought warily and returned her attention ahead. She moved to take a step when she heard a slow dripping sound. She looked down and gasped. Blood! There was a puddle of blood at her feet! Surely it wasn't her blood because she had no injuries… Whose could it be?

Suddenly, she heard a faint gurgling sound coming from somewhere in front of her and she looked up. It was the battlefield where she had defeated the Kishin Asura! But wait… It was the Kishin and Soul who were fighting, not her! Suddenly, the Kishin's bandages advanced towards Soul, who didn't seem to register them in time… SQUELCH! 'No… No! NOOOOOO!' Maka screamed in her mind and she let a shrill, panicked scream pass her lips. "SOUL!" She shot up in her bed, tears streaming down her cheeks and her throat sore from screaming so loudly. She heard the door to her room slam open and Soul was standing there, his eyes wide. "Maka! What's wrong, are you hurt?" He ran to her bedside and grasped her shoulders, frantically looking her over. When his eyes came to her face, he automatically brought her close and murmured in her ear. "What happened, Maka?" She shook and her hands came up to clench his shirt in her hands as more tears spilled forward. She cried into his chest, blabbering things like, "I'm so sorry, Soul! I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you! I'm the most horrible Meister ever!" He pushed her back a bit and looked intensely into her eyes. "Maka. Tell me what happened." She replied in a shaky voice, "Y-You were stabbed… A-And there w-was nothing I could d-do…" His brows furrowed in confusion. "Wait a minute, Maka. Who stabbed me?" Her lower lip trembled. "T-The Kishin…" He shook his head and sighed. "Maka, I'm fine. The Kishin is dead, we took care of him remember?" She looked down and nodded. "Then see? Nothing to worry about." She looked up at him and he looked at her a moment before he smirked. "Where's the tough Maka I partnered up with?" She smiled at him and wiped the rest of her tears away with her hand, then she straightened her back. He chuckled. "That's more like it. Now get some sleep. You're gonna need it." She nodded and he stood up and walked to her door. "Night." He closed her door. Maka slept soundly after that.

Okay that was longer than I had originally planned, but tell me what you think!
