Chapter 1
Rose's POV
I took a deep breath as the cab stopped in front of my new home. "Here we are!" the cab driver said to me as he got out to help me with my bags. Nicest cab driver I've ever met… Maybe Death City won't be as bad as I thought it would… I thought to myself. I grabbed as many bags as I could while being able to unlock the door to my new house.
With the cab driver right behind me, I set down a suitcase and unlocked the door. I told the cab driver where to put the rest of my stuff and I tried to give him a $20 as a tip, but he refused my offer. I then paid for the ride he had given me all the way from London, England to Death City. "Thank you Miss! You have a good night now!" he said before getting back into the car and driving away.
I closed the door, locked it, and was about to start getting settled in when I heard someone attempt to kick down the door. I went to open the door but then heard the door creak as if it would crush me if I opened it. It crushed me anyway. "WHO ARE YOU?!" I yelled at the figure who had entered my new home, after destroying my lovely door. "I AM THE MAN WHO SURPASSED GOD!" the figure yelled back.
I sighed. "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" I yelled. I was surprised to see another figure enter. "Who are you people?" I said, trying to sound brave, but failing. "I'm so sorry about Black*Star!" the girl said. She then gave a look of disappointment at the boy who broke down my door. "My name is Tsubaki" the girl said.
There was something different about her. That's when I noticed her ponytail was now a chain, which was now wrapped around the boy who had knocked my door down. I heard footsteps running, getting closer and closer. This time five figures entered my home. "More? Wow, it's getting a little crowded" I said quietly. "Black*Star! What the hell did you do this time?!" one of the new people said. All seven of them helped to get the door off of my back. A girl in a black coat, a white dress blouse, and plaid red shorts and the boy who was with her helped me up.
"Thanks" I said sheepishly with a hint of dorkiness in my voice. "But I still don't know who you people are…" I said. "I'm sure I can answer that" a new voice said. I knew that voice… I knew it all too well. "You..." I snarled.
I spun around to be face to face with my successful older sister. She was taller then me, prettier then me, hell, even smarter then me! And I'm the smart one in the family! "Glad to see you finally decided to come to Death City to follow in my foot steps little sis!" my older sister said as she elbowed me in the shoulder. I clenched my jaws. "I didn't come to Death City to follow in your foot steps." I sneered at her. "Well then, what did you come to Death City for?" she said as she glared at me.
"I came to Death City to enroll at the academy to become a meister! It's not impossible to be a meister and a weapon!" I said, glaring right back at her. At this point the room was silent. The silence was broken by a tall girl. "Anyway, my name is Liz Thompson and this is my sister, Patty" the girl said. "This is Death The Kid, but everyone calls him Kid" said Patty, directing the attention to the boy with black hair with 3 white stripes, who was with them. He leaned closer to me and whispered something.
"If you ever say my hair is asymmetrical in front of me, then I will have to kill you" he growled quietly. I gulped, then nodded my head and said to him "Got it".
The girl with the black coat and another boy introduced themselves to me. "My name's Maka Albarn and this is Soul. Pleased to meet you!" she said and then curtsied. "Maka that was so not cool" the boy named Soul said. Maka glared at him and chopped his head with a book. "Maka Chop!" she said.
Then, as if just to annoy him, she curtsied again and so did I. "I'm Soul" he smirked when he said his own name. I stuck out my hand and we shook hands. "So, I take it you've already met Black*Star?" Tsubaki said shyly. "Yeah… man I liked that door too!" I chuckled softly. A few of the others laughed a little too.
"Hmph! Looks like I'm not needed here anymore!" my older sister Violet said. "Oh, and before I forget, Mom told me to give this to you" Violet said before handing me a package. "She told me to tell you that she and Dad love you very much and they said not to open it until you're 14th birthday" she said. I nodded an okay and she left.
The room was very quiet for what felt like forever. The silence was broken by Kid. "So you want to enroll in the academy, correct?" he asked. I nodded. "What's YOUR name?" Patty said, eagerness in her voice. "My name is Rose" I said shyly, looking down at my feet.
When I realized that nobody had said anything else, I glanced up to see a slight look of horror on everyone's face. Kid was blushing slightly, but still had the same look of fear and horror in his eyes that the others did. Black*Star and Patty both had a look of confusion on their faces and didn't have a clue what the hell was going on. Finally, I spoke. "What?" To be honest, I didn't really have a clue what the hell was going on either. "Rose, can I talk to you?" Kid said.
"Sure" I said. I then waited for him to speak, but instead he started walking down the hallway. "In private" he said. "Oh… Okay." I replied. I followed him down the hallway, where he led me to a wall. On the floor, in front of the wall, there was a handle. He pulled on the handle as hard as he could, but it wouldn't open. "Little help here, Rose?" Kid said.
I wrapped my arms around his waist, blushing, but ready to pull. "One… Two… Three… Pull!" Kid said. We pulled as hard as we could. I sighed. "Looks like it's not gonna open..." I said. At that exact moment we heard a loud creaking sound and Kid took a few steps back. I, however, didn't notice that where the trapdoor was, the wood was falling down a set of stairs leading down into the darkness.
Kid grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the way just in time. "Thanks" I said sheepishly, blushing slightly. "Just be more careful next time!" Kid scowled. "Sorry…" I said pitifully, looking down at the floor. Kid sighed. "It's okay, just try to be a little more careful. Now, follow me." He said.
He took a lighter out of his pocket, grabbed my hand, and led the way down the dark stairs into the basement. When we got to the bottom of the stairs, he turned on the light in the basement. I guess he realized we were still holding hands, because he let go of my hand and looked away, blushing. I did the same but when I turned to face Kid, he was already staring directly at me. "Hey Kid?". "Yes Rose?". "What exactly did you want to talk to me about?" I asked. "…There's a legend going around about a young girl who wants to become the meister of herself.
"Just out of curiosity, what kind of weapon are you?" Kid asked. I turned my arms into sharp, broad swords. Kid stared at me with a look of fear, admiration, and slight horror. "WHAT?! WHY ARE YOU MAKING THAT FACE?!" I yelled. Realizing what I had just said, I turned my arms back to normal and quickly covered my mouth with my hands. "I'm so sorry…" I said quietly. I almost never yell at anyone without a good reason… So, why would I now?... I thought to myself.
"R-Rose?" I heard Kid say softly. "Yeah?" I said, starting to feel a little dizzy. "Are you able to shape-shift?" he asked. "Uhhhh… Yeah… Why?" I said then asked, scared to know the answer. "You look exactly like the young girl described in the legend. How old are you? Because the girl in the legend is 13 and can shape-shift." Kid said.
I felt all the color drain from my face. I felt like I was about to either throw up or pass out. "Rose? Rose! Are you okay?!" Kid said, deep concern flooding into his voice. I realized I was swaying a little. "I think I'm okay Kid stop wor-" the world went black.
