The Secret Life Of the Staff Meister

Chapter 1:

Back to school:

What will happen this year?

Miley Summers headed up the stairs toward the DWMA. She stood at four feet eleven inches and petite. She had flowing chestnut hair the most interesting thing about Miley was her eyes. They where a the lightest shade of green. They gave away what she was feeling.

Following behind her was her partner. Mason was in many ways was her opposite. He stood at six feet three inches, his hair was light brown, his eyes where as deep as hers where light, but blue. Miley often wondered if people thought he was the meister but that wasn't true. She was the meister. Miley knew that she wasn't strange. Miley was much stronger then she looked.

They arrived the top of the stairs to the school. It didn't matter how many times Miley looked at the school it took her breath away. Several people walked past her. Two people put their arms around her. She looked to see the Thompson sisters, Death the Kid's twin pistols.

"Feeling better?" Liz asked, she was the older of the two girls. "You had us worried about all summer." Death the Kid and his partners had often went out of their way to help Miley out. Miley felt that Kid acted like a big brother to her. She couldn't explain why he did it.

"Yeah, specially Kid. He freaked out after you him out of the way of that truck."

"Truck?" Miley looking from one girl to the other.

The summer before Miley had amnesia due to a training accident. She didn't remember anything that had happened during the time. Miley had a feeling there would be many of these moments though out the year. She started down the familiar hall way to her classroom. It hadn't changed in three years, same room, same teacher, yep just going to be another year of the same old school or so she thought. She pushed open the door. Her teacher was sitting at his desk reading a file.

Yep, same old Professor Stein. He was a tall man, was pale and scaring all over his body. Miley had discovered during her first year that they were all self inflicted. He had choppy sliver hair, with a large screw sticking out of it. Miley was unaware of the story, but knowing Stein as well as she did, she didn't want to know.

Miley owed this man a great deal, he had done so much for her in the past several years. Miley had difficulties with her soul wavelength, she could only bond with on weapon, if it wasn't for him. If it wasn't for Stein, she would have left the academy and would never met Mason or learned what she was. Miley was the staff meister the first in a thousand years. This makes Miley a large target for witches, they hated the staff meister, why Miley wasn't sure.

It wasn't that wasn't the only thing Stein had done for her. Miley had lost her parents to witches at a young age. She had an guardian before she arrived, but she wasn't much a of parental figure. After she arrived at the academy he took over the parenting role in her life. He had even gone so far as to take her in when she had lost her memories. Miley stared at the file he was reading.

"Is that my file." She was referring to a file he kept on her. Stein was a scientist by nature, he had to keep data on something he never seen before. Miley was rare, there was no debate, he also wasn't sure if the issues where Miley's or just common traits of the Staff Meister. He want the next Staff Meister to now what they are doing. He didn't want them to have to go in blind like Miley.

He looked up at her, he wasn't surprised to see her there. His eyes scanning her. Then his face softened. "No, that doesn't leave my lab. I don't want it falling into the wrong hands."

"I jump in front of a truck?" She asked, knowing he would have the full story.

"No you pushed Kid out of the way of one." He said simply. "You scared the hell out of Marie."

"I did?" she blinked, she had a feeling it was going to be a long year.

"I'll admit you didn't mean to scare her, Kid seemed to be the only one you remembered."

"Really?" She asked. "It must be a staff meister thing." She placed her school bag at the same desk she always sat.

"That would be my guess, why don't you change you seat. It would really surprise your classmates." Miley was a creature of habit, she always sat in the same seat. He wondered why she did so. She had the only classroom to choose from.

"I never really thought about it before, I just like the seat." Miley knew it didn't matter how many years she still couldn't really read him at some points. Miley left the room giving him a small wave which he returned before returning to his paperwork. It seemed like it was going to be a quiet year compared to the year before or so he thought.

He heard his door open again. He didn't need to look up to see who it was. The easing tension told who had entered the room. It was amazing what Marie could do to him just by walking into the room. He was hoping that being in his classroom would give him a quiet place to think, well he was wrong. Stein's partner was a tall blonde women. She had pale skin, and curves in all the right places. She was caring, but known for her volatile personalty. But she more know for her smile. She wore an eye patch over her left eye.

"What's that Franken?" She asked.

"Just some news stories. Kids have been going missing lately." He muttered while rubbing his eyes.

"Really I haven't heard anything."

"It's not just in one area, it's all over the place. There doesn't seem to be a connection either." he said putting a cigarette in his mouth.

"Kidnapping ring?" She said. "The types that keep the kids for themselves. Maybe..." Stein knew she was just trying to help.

"Could be, but still not sure."

"Serial Killer," She questioned.

"Again, no connection. The ages differ from eight to seventeen, different races and creeds, and they taken from different states less then hours apart." The warning bell rang. Marie put her arms around his shoulders.

"Well you going to have to put it out of your mind for a while. I'll see you when you get home Franken."

Soon Stein's students came in. Many of them where staring, he wasn't usually in there before they where. But he wanted to cut right to the chase. "Alright who remembers what we where covering at the end of last year." No one made a move. "Anyone." Miley put her hand up, he wasn't surprised. It was most likely haunting her all summer. "Miley." Since he had no one else to call on.

"Renascence link..." She said quietly.

"Very good." He went over to the black broad. He knew every one was going to need a quick refresh. He looked back toward the class. He just noticed something. "Miley have a even pulled you two the front of the class before. Now that he thought about he never did, and she would be very useful to this lesson.

"No, Professor." Miley said, wondering why it mattered.

"Well, you would you and Mason come up here please."

Miley sighed, it wasn't like she could say no. She stood up and headed to the front of the class. Miley decided she never wanted to be in this position again. She found it very awkward standing there between Stein and Mason. It really just showed the class how short she really was, but something told her that wasn't what Stein wanted them to see. Then Miley noticed it. She hadn't been harassed this morning at all... she saw that three of her classmates where missing. She wondered where they where. "Alright class what's different about Miley." Miley wondered if Stein knew what kind of door he was opening. They waited a few moments. "I know at least half of you can see souls."

"It's her wavelength," said a girl three rows back. "It's small but its constant."

"Very good, this causes Miley to have trouble with partners. She can't adjust her soul to meet others. Who think Miley can team resonate?" No hands shot up. Miley wasn't surprised, she wasn't really sure if she could.

"Professor, for team resonance it's more of trust then capability right?"

"In a way. Soul needs to adjust to match the others, but the souls don't really have to be in sync with the others, like with weapons and Meisters. Our example, is Miley, who's soul isn't that flexible is there away for Miley to resonate with someone else?" He didn't like using Miley as a example but this was the most he had ever gotten his class to participate. He kept checking to see if Miley was getting uncomfortable from this, but her chestnut brown hair was blocking her face. He hated when that happened.

"Could we see who she resonate with Mason? It might be easier to read her wavelength and be able to adjust to it." This was a boy in the back row and he would be top of the class if Miley wasn't there, Stein would admit it was a good idea.

"That would be up to them though." He said.

"Sure, I don't see that as a problem. Mason, you alright with this?" The weapon's answer was to nod. Stein pull a cigarette from his pocket, he wasn't even sure if Miley's classmates knew what kind of weapon Miley had. He thought about Miley's type of attack.

"But lets move this part of the lesson outside. I promised Lord Death that I wouldn't destroy the classroom on the first day."

The whole class filed out on to the school steps they stood in a circle around Miley. She felt slightly nervous with all of them watching. She held out her hand for Mason. She wasn't sure if her classmates had ever seen his was. She felt the smooth wood press against her palm. She loved this feeling, she gave Mason a quickly spin to get a better grip on him. The whole class gasped and waited.

"He's turn's into a staff, I've never heard of a Staff Meister." Came a voice from the crowd.

"Alright, Earth Shaker, please. We don't want to destroy the school."

Miley nodded at the crazy professor. She closed her eyes. She had to stop and take a deep breath, she was nervous. "Let's go soul resonance!" At first Miley thought it had went off smoothly, but then she felt that familiar pull.

Stein was watching carefully. He watched her staggered, but she got her footing. He was was very amused she completed the move and he watched the rest of the class fall to the ground. He was wondering about the crack in the ground. Earth shaker shouldn't have done that. Miley swayed and he put out his arm out to catch her. He knew something was wrong. Mason always caught her.

Mason turned back to himself. He was panting. Stein was ready to grab him if he needed, but Mason sat on the ground. He was covered in sweat. "That almost wasn't earth shaker, and it wouldn't have been earth quake either." The boy fell back, unconscious. Stein lay Miley next to her partner.

"No one panic." Stein said.

"But her soul was tearing!" said a girl shocked. He was impressed that someone was paying attention.

"That can happen, when a soul is over whelmed by the resonance rate. This is why you need to get to know your team mates."

"So this whole lesson was to scare us." The same girl demanded.

"No Molly, it's to show you what to look for, and that is the reason you what to know your team mates limitations."

"What about Miley?" The girl asked.

"Don't worry about her, she'll be fine." Stein said.

"I mean, whose team will she be on?"

"I haven't decided teams yet." He said told his student.

Stein had a bad feeling. He knew that Molly was bitter about losing her partner. He was one of the ones that attacked Miley. Miley herself is still unaware of what had happened. He and the other two boys where expelled. Lord Death doesn't take bullying lightly.

Mason awoke by the end of class. Miley was still recovering. He brought her to Dispensary. Stein checked on her at lunch. She was still unresponsive. He wasn't going to worry till after school. He arrived Miley was awake. She looked away from him when he walked him. He could tell she was upset about what he was unsure. She was deep in conversation with Mason. Stein let her be, he was his fault she was in that bed right now. He knew where to find her, when they needed to talk.

Later that evening he found her right, where he knew he would. She was sitting on the stone wall. She was looking out at the setting sun. "I knew I would find you here." She looked to see who was speaking even though she knew who it was right away. Then she looked back out at the view. "Still not speaking to me?" He asked while leaning against the wall. This put him and Miley on eye level. "If it's about using you as an example in class, I apologize. I wanted to show them, how dangerous not really knowing about other people can be."

"I'm not really mad, at you guess I just want someone to blame." She said still staring outward. "I just want to get though a normal school day. It's frustrating that I can't."

"I'm not sure you'll do find tomorrow I promise I won't pull you to the front of the class, but I can't say about anyone else." She looked at him. "Good to have you back, I'll see you tomorrow."

Wow that was long. Yay! Alright here the start, what is going to happen?
