MAKA'S POV

I can't believe I have to move back to Death City, Nevada. I am so screwed, I haven't even talked to my papa or my brother in years. Why did my mama have to die? Now I might as well pretend I've never been to Death City or else I'm dead meat for leaving them. I haven't even notice that I was twirling my mini skirt. Well I better get some sleep it's a long flight to Death City, Nevada. I quickly got my pigtails out and my ash-blonde hair cascaded down my shoulders. My emerald green eyes slowly closed, and I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up 30 minutes before my flight landed and took a look out at the scenery. It was breathtaking and then we entered the city area it was disgusting. I hated how you could see fires and almost hear gun shots. This place has gotten worse since I've been here which was like 7 years ago. I tried not to imagine what my "friends" have been doing these last few years. My flight landed with a jerk. I left the air plane and grabbed my luggage and went to look for my papa or my brother James. Going out into the flight leaving area I see my papa Spirit Albern and here I was hoping it would be James.

"My BABY IS BACK !"

"Hi papa can we go."

"What ever you want I'm so glad you came back how's your mom doing you know I still love her."

"Papa mama past away that's why I came back because I wasn't old enough to live on my own and if you did love mama you wouldn't have cheated on her now let's go." My papa didn't say anything after that and took us "home" I couldn't really call that place my home because home is where the heart is and my heart is with my mama. We pulled up to the house I would call home for the next 2 years If I have my way. I got out of the car and grabbed my bags before going into the house and into my old room it was pink neon pink I wanted to scream.

"Do you like it I had your brother paint it from that ugly green."

"I will be painting it a scarlet red and I liked that emerald green."

"But Makkkkka you love pink I thought."

"Papa get over it and get out."

"But BABY I haven't seen you in years."

"I know this but I would like to unpack and sleep long plane ride I'm tired. Now. Get. Out." He left I unpacked went to my bed and pulled my phone out hesitant to text James and ask if he'll help repaint my room. So I did asking if him and Patrick would help move my stuff out and paint and then move my stuff back in.

"WHY SHOULD WE YOU LEFT US REMEMBER."-From James

"YOUR FORGETTING I DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE."-From Maka

"WERE HELP TOMORROW AT 7:00 P.M. BUT FIRST CAN YOU COME OVER AND HELP ME WITH PATRICK."-From James

"OK RIGHT NOW RIGHT."-From Maka

"YEP."-From James

I didn't bother replying I knew where he was so I told my papa I was going to talk to James and left. I'm a block away from my house when I hear yelling and people running I think towards me so I stop and look over my shoulder to see a kid with stark white hair running away from 20 guys all who are wearing my brothers gang symbol. The kid runs past me stops and calls over his shoulder "unless you wanna get raped follow me," I look at him and then the guys.

"They won't touch me or you trust me on that."

"Your right if we move."

"Why are they after you."

"I'm trying to catch the one who killed a friend of mine."

"Ya watch this."

"What are you up shit they're here were screwed." I turn around gave a smile and said "Hey boys can you turn around and shut up." They didn't do those things except the shutting up. Except from what I can tell their "leader" of the group.

"Only 3 people are aloud to use that and your not one of them."

"Your right I'm not but my brother James is so again can you turn around and shut up." They did as they were told to that time.

"Ok who killed-what's your name again?"

"Soul Even."

"Wait as in the leader of Eater."

"You new in town or something everybody knows who I am."

"Ya I'm new in town anyways so which one of you killed Soul's friend." The 3rd guy next to their "leader" raised his hand timidly.

"I would say it's sad to see you go but you shouldn't have broke the rules and killed an ally do whatever you want with him."

"Now wait a second you have no authority here so let's go talk to James." Said the "leader" of the group.

"Ok but he'll agree with me." So me, Soul, and 20 guys from my brothers gang went to where my big brother is. Soul asked me how I knew where I was going I replied with James showed me where to find him when he picked me up from the airport. When we reached The Club which is where you can find my brother anytime. I look and see Hiro as the door man. I looked at him walking up with a smirk saying "So you're a door man such a shame and here I was hoping you'd be 3rd person."

"Ha fucking ha I am but not everybody knows about you especially the door man."

"An escort awww you shouldn't have." Me and Hiro looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Ok well I need to talk to James so could you do your magic and let us in including Evan's over there."

"Ya ok you know the way."

When I walked by Hiro I whispered "well I hope so."

He burst out laughing Soul and the others looked at me and him like we were insane. I moved like I knew the place cause I did. I went to where James is.

"So your new in town but you know your way through The Club care to explain how."

"I'd tell you but it's none of your business."

"Come on spill the beans."

I looked towards him and spoke deathly calm and quiet "shut up and get the fuck out of my business." Turning around just in time to come to a door where my brother would be waiting with Patrick this should be interesting. They all stopped I just walked right in. Soul tried to grab my arm.

"Who in their right mind would barge into my living room!" Demanded my brother. "

Who do you think." I replied plastering on my fake cheesey smile. "Maka" I head from the three men in the room.

"So I need you to calm down Patrick."

"But first you need to deal with them."

"Oh Ya what's up."

I pointed at the guy who killed Soul's friend while speaking"He killed an ally so get to it I'm curious on how things are handled here."

"I'm sure you are, so is it true did you kill an ally Crona."

"I don't know how to deal with this."

"Just tell the truth did you kill an ally."

"Y...yes."

"Ok Soul you have three options."

"Ok what are they." I was looking amused by this there use to only be two options wander what they added I thought to myself. "The first one is that you can kill Crona yourself, the second one is that we kill Crona, or Crona has to disappear." I had gotten a drink taking a drink and I hear option three I started chocking.

"Maka are you ok." James comes running over to me.

"Can I talk to you for a second James."

"Ya sure, Soul think about it and tell me when I get back."

"Ok."

Me and James leave the room and go into his kitchen.

"So what's up."

"Or Crona can disappear! Your kidding me right remember a life for a life tooth for a tooth and eye for an eye not this disappear shit what the hell!" I was pissed that is not what this gang was made for.

"Not everybody likes the kill thang so I added that one."

"You could have put anything else you should have called me when did you add this stupid rule."

"I tried you ended the call before I could ask."

"That was because my mom had died and I didn't want to talk to anyone."

"Well I can't change it now."

"I have an idea."

"Ok what is it?"

"Instead of killing or them disappearing how about a trade."

"What type of trade?"

"Something along the lines of the person who's dead gets traded with anyone in the gang or one of the gangs girls his choice."

"And if your chosen?"

"Then I'm chosen oh well."

"Ok whatever how am I supposed to change it."

"From what I can tell Patrick and Klick were shocked so say I changed your mind into something not so mysterious because of family OK."

"Ok, let's go." Me and James went back to his living room with fake smile for him and a huge smirk on my face.

"So change of plans Soul I'm changing the third option to a trade."

"What do you mean by trade?" Soul seemed very interested in this option wander why.

"Well it's fairly simple the person who's dead for one of our people which includes women."

"Don't say, does that include your sister who seems to be telling lies."

"For your information"- "yes it does and I have not spoken a lie since I arrived in Death City." That's lie number 3 oops. "Anyway so which option?"

"I chose option three."

"Ok and who do you want to trade for."

"You."

"What!"

"Patrick calm down nothing bad is going to happen your forgetting I can take care of myself." My phone started vibrating. "If you'll excuse me I have to get that." I leave to the kitchen and answer the phone. "Hello."

"Hey Maka it's me Arisa."

"Oh hey what's up."

"Um Giriko he woke up from the comma you put him in three years ago."

"Ok and is he in the room with you."

"Ya he wants to talk to you."

"Ok give him the phone and make sure nobody is in the room before handing him the phone."

"Got it ok nobody's in the room here you go."

"Hello Maka is that you."

"Cut the crap Giriko apologies."

"For what I'm the one in the hospital."

"You picked the fight and I defended myself and if you apologies I won't press charges."

"I'm sorry let's forget this happened and start over what do you say."

"I can't I moved back with my dad cause my mom past away so nice talking to you now give the phone back to Arisa."

"Here you go bitch."

"Just now figuring that out are we."

"Hey Maka what's up."

"I have to go tell Risa I said hi would you."

"YEP bye."

"Bye." I hung up the phone turn around to see Soul, James, and Patrick starring at me with questioning looks.

"Don't worry about it so why do I have to calm down Patrick again."

"I was freaking out because you weren't a women to anybody yet now you are so it's all good."

"I'm nobody's property boys."

"Actually your mine so explain that conversation now."

"No I'm not and not in this life time so again get the hell out of my business." I tried to walk past them when Soul grabbed my arm.

"Would it help if I asked you to be my girl."

"I don't know maybe why don't you try."

"Ok will you go out with me?"

"Nope."

"What why."

"Because you assumed that I would be your woman I hate people who assumes things."

"MAKA." James demanded my attention. "Yes."

"Just agree so that way me, Patrick, Klick, and Hiro don't have to worry."

"Fine but I want my windows painted too then."

"Deal."

"Ok well I'm going home see you guys tomorrow at 7:00 right."

"Yep Patrick, Klick, Hiro, and me will be there."

"Cool see Ya."

"Hey wait up I'll walk you home."

"No thanks I'll be fine on my own bye guys."

"I'm leaving with you see Ya." Soul followed me out. We walked back into the living room. "Bye guys see Ya later."

"See Ya Maka." Klick and Hiro waved bye. We left The Club I started the opposite way we came from.

"I thought you said you were heading home."

"I lied I'm going to the library need a new book so get over it."

"You know your headed the wrong way right."

"No I'm not I've been there before."

"So how long have you been in town?". I pretended not to hear him I took a better look at him and notice that he had bloody red eyes. He opened his mouth to reveal shark like teeth.

"You didn't answer my question."

"Are your hair, eyes, and teeth real or did you sharpen your teeth, wear contracts for your eyes, and bleach your hair."

"All natural actually."

"That's unique."

"I prefer cool but unique is ok I guess." I didn't bother to answer because we were at the library.

"It's closed." I looked over and smiled devilishly walking up the stairs to the library I knocked three times. The door creaked open and the librarian popped her head out.

"Maka dear come in come in and bring your friend too."

"Come on Soul." I called over my shoulder and entered not really caring that he was following very very cautiously.

"So Maka dear how have you been?" The old librarian asked in her rasbaley voice.

"I thought you said you were new to town?" Question an annoyed Soul.

"I am but the librarian used to work at my old library in a town or two over from when I was 5 now no more questions about my past." The librarian looked at us with a knowing look.

"Go get a book Maka and quickly a business person is going to come soon." I walked to the scientific fiction and picked up a random book read the back and went to the front to check it out.

"It's a good series especially the third book."

"Ok thank you ." Me and a grumpy Soul left to go back to my house. We were about 2 or 3 houses down when Soul put a possessive arm around me and was glaring at somebody who looked a lot like him except a couple years older. I took a closer look and instantly knew who it was and he doesn't know about my lies. I ran out of Soul's arms and over to Wes Soul's older brother.

"Hey Wes how have you been." I hauler gaining his attention.

"Maka been awhile." We were going to high five when, Soul grabbed me and pulled me away from Wes.

"Don't touch her and how the fuck do you know each other." Before Wes could answer I quickly interfered.

"In the same town as I met the librarian Wes had business with my brother and I kinda saved his ass." Wes gave me a questionable look which I pretended to look oblivious to. I looked over at Wes making sure Soul couldn't see my lips and lipped-pretty good might I add-to "ask James about it later." Soul tugged on my arm making me leave I hauled over my shoulder a goodbye. Turning to the brother dragging me I get my arm free. He whips around giving me an annoyed look.

"Don't drag me around like I'm two."

"Do me a favor and stay away from Wes he's changed in the last couple of years and I don't want you getting hurt."

"I can't promise anything but I'll try kinda." We walked in silence. It took me awhile to realize that he still had his arm around me. We came up to my house when I realized this.

"Maka who is this monster and why does he have his arm around you." At that moment all I could think of was how much trouble I'm in.
