This is a story of Franken Stein when he was a child. This is the story of how he first meat Spirit Albarn. This is how the Mad Meister became a doctor, a teacher. I made up Stein's and Spirit's parents, and Franken's middle name. I don't own soul eater.

He was running. He was fleeing, like a dog returning home with its tail between its legs. Franken M. Stein wished he could go home, but he was lost. The kids at school were chasing him again, and he was running again. He was the smallest in his class, and while he was fast and stronger he couldn't stand against fourteen students that were two and a half feet taller than him.
But his mother would find him. Mary Stein was different than the other mothers, and she would find him. But he had to lose the thugs first. As the forest moved past him he spotted a large rock. He knew where he was, and his quick mind devised a plan. So he turned a sharp right. Some of the boys were surprised by this sharp turn and fell, but most followed the small grey haired boy into the trees.
Stein kept running until he saw it: a large fallen oak tree over a deep river. The log itself was ten feet away from the water, and it connected Stein's part of the forest with the rest. If he got over the log then they would never be able to find him. So as Franken's thin souled shoes first touched the bridge to freedom he saw something out of the corner of his eye, something that fell into the water with a small splash.
"Get him!" yelled several of the boys in German. Rocks whizzed past him as the boys took their best aims to knock "Freaky" Franken of the bridge to the bad part of the woods. Stein ran across the oak tree, when he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head. He touched the back of his head and he dropped to his knees. Why did he suddenly feel so light headed? Why was his body suddenly made out of lead?
He dropped. The boys ran, not quite sure if what they had been trying to was accomplished. Franken watched the log get farther away. The water came as a surprise. His head was still light and his limbs still lead. As he broke the surface he took a deep breath. He did his best to stay above, but it just seemed like too much. As he got dragged back under he felt someone grab the back of his homemade shirt and pull him out. His eyes were blurry, but he knew who it was instantly.
"Mother," he whispered in a hoarse voice. His mother's kind face was smiling as she swept his hair back with a hand.
"It's okay, Franken," she whispered back in her accented voice. Her gray curls were piled on top of her head in a tight bun. She smelled like homemade cake. "It's alright."
Franken found himself smiling as darkness ate the edges of his vision. Mother will take care of everything. After all, Mother knows everything.

I really need a haircut, Spirit thought as he pulled a shoulder length strand out of his eyes. It might have seemed strange to see an underage kid with blood red hair and aqua eyes flying on an international flight, but Spirit wasn't a normal kid. He was the son of Howard Albarn, a senator from Nevada. After his parents were killed in a "robbery" he was thrown into the system. But now he was getting out of the country that had covered up his mom's murder, the one that cast him into house after house. One had locked him in the car; one had hung him upside down until the blood rushed to his head. Others simply were unoriginal and beat him with a belt. He had been in good houses, but those were few and far between.
So Spirit Howard Albarn ran away from the houses, the graves, the stares, and the county that let him down. He didn't know an ounce of German, but he could at least try. After he got off the plane he walked towards the sun. He would make his own life. He was no longer Spirit Howard Albarn, but just Spirit. He wasn't going to live in his father's shadow anymore. Never again.

So what did you think? Please review. And fave and stuff. Any comments? Questions? Let me give you information.
The first name of the writer of "Frankenstein" was Mary, so she was really the mother. I only realized that later. I just thought "Mary" just sounded good.
Howard Albarn was named after Tony Stark's father in "Iron Man". Tony was living in his father's shadow in the first movie, and he got out from under that shadow. Plus Howard was a weapons maker, and Howard Albarn literally "made" Spirit, who is a weapon.
I read somewhere that Stein was from Germany, but I don't remember where.
"Stein's Bridge" was based off of "Bridge to Tarabithia". Stein's forest, which is really called "Saint Mary's Wood", was cut off from the rest of the world by a deep, fast flowing river, kind of like a moat around castle. The only ways on is "Stein's Bridge" on the south west side, "Swallow Side" on the north, and "The Swing" on the east side. "Swallow Side" wasn't shallow, but was slow enough to swim across, while "The Swing" was a rope swing fastened in the middle, the main land was higher up against "Saint Mary's Wood", like a ledge.
