Chapter 1~
Hello Everyone, it's been awhile. I always said I was going to write the Unseen...SOOO here it is!
She sits in the back of the classroom, leaning against the wall. She could hear people whispering. It was no surprise on what they were talking about. She closes her book and releases a sigh. She walks down to her teacher's desk and grabs the bathroom pass, heading out the door.
"Maka! Oh thank god! The boys, they're at my locker again!"
Maka sighs as she ignores the poor ghost. He continues to yell at her. "Maka, tell them that is my locker!"
She stops in her tracks and faces the ghost. "Jon, you're dead, you've been dead for the past five years. When are you going to accept it?"
The ghost Jon looks back towards his locker. He sees the teens laughing and pointing towards his direction. He sighs.
"I'm sorry, now they are making fun of you because they think you are talking to yourself."
Maka shakes her head, "I don't care about that, but please Jon, join your grandparents in the afterlife. Please let go."
"It hurts Maka, I didn't get to live the rest of my life. I didn't get my driver licenses, go to prom, graduate, get a job or go to college. I died at a party! All because I wanted to fit in, so I tried drugs. It's not fair that I died and no one else in the group did!"
"So you want them dead as well?"
"Yes!"
Maka shakes her head again, she walks away. "Your so called friends don't go to High school anymore. Some probably didn't change their ways. You might just see them in a year or two. Why not cross over and be there to greet them?"
Jon huffs. Kids walk through him as he follows Maka into the bathroom. Maka looks under all the stalls to see if they were alone. "Jon, I'm sorry you didn't get to live but when you crossover you can."
"I don't believe in that stuff. I'm scared," He pauses, "God is not real."
"I don't know if God is real or not but I strongly believe there is an afterlife. I have helped many ghost and they will smile saying hi to a love one and even their pets when a big bright light shows."
Jon shakes his head. "No, I'm not going. I don't believe you! You're just saying that!"
The bathroom door flies open and two girls walk in. Jon vanishes. Maka sighs, she was so close.
Soul watches Maka exit the bathroom, "Hey, ghost girl, were you helping a ghost go potty?"
His friend starts laughing as Maka walks by ignoring them. Soul throws an arm around his friend Black Star. "She really does talk to herself."
"I told ya, she's been doing it since Elementary school. Like who just stops in the halls to talk to themselves. There's a level and she's on the highest one."
Liz and Patty walk out the bathroom and head towards their friends. "She was totally talking to herself in there. Looks like we interrupted them." Liz says with a snicker.
"Yeah, she was pretty disappointed," Patty chimes in.
The class bells rings throughout the halls.
"Yes, Lunch time! My favorite subject."
"That's not a subject, Star." Tsubaki says as she joins her friends.
"Come on, let's find Kid and go to lunch." Says Soul.
Maka sits down at one of the park benches in the City Park. Her dad is going to be pissed when he finds out she skipped more classes again. Why can't he let her do cyber schooling? She couldn't take it anymore. The bullying was getting worse. She liked it better when they just ignored her. Now everyone is knocking her books out of her hands, shoving her into lockers, and throwing food at her. High school was mean.
"Sam, why are you ignoring me? Hello?"
Maka looks up see a women ghost follow a man. She's guessing that is the women's boyfriend or husband. The ghost stops in her tracks and lets out a cry. "Sam, I'm right here!"
"He's not going to hear you sweetie." Maka says to the ghost. The women ghost snaps her head towards Maka. "Oh my god, someone who can see me!" The ghost runs up to Maka.
"Please help me. What is going on?"
Maka crosses her legs and places her hands in her lap. "You're dead."
The women ghost looks down. "Am I really?"
"I'm sad to say you are. Not everyone has a gift like me that can see ghost."
"Then why am I here?"
"What's your name?" Maka asks.
"Mary."
"Well Mary, it looks like you have some unfinished business that you feel that you are not ready to crossover."
Mary joins Maka on the park bench. "I can't believe I'm really dead. I remember getting into a car accident as I was driving to go meet my boyfriend for dinner. It was our fifth anniversary together."
"The car accident must have been fatal." Maka says patting Mary on the hand.
"And I thought he was ignoring me all because he was mad at me for never showing up." She lets tears escape. "I want to tell him, I'm sorry. That I love him."
"I can help you with that." Maka says. Mary sniffs and looks over at Maka, "Can you really?"
"Yup, let's go find him and talk to him."
Mary jumps up, "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"But you have to promise me one thing."
Mary tilts her head, "What is it?"
"That you must crossover when we are done."
Mary slowly nods. "All right. It's really no fun being a ghost and now I'm starting to see the other ghosts and they scare me a little."
School was finally over, Soul and his friends walk down the stairs towards their buses. "You guys wanna go to the movies this weekend?" Soul asks.
His friends nod their heads, "Yeah sure."
"Alright cool, I'll look up movie times and text you guys."
His friends nod and get on their buses, Kid and Soul walk towards the student parking lot. "Don't you have a concert tomorrow and your brothers show on Sunday?" Kid asks.
Soul sighs, "Damn, I forgot about that."
"How do you forget something like that?" He lets out a laugh. Soul shakes his head, "I hate playing; I just want to be a normal teenager."
"I hear that," Kid says, being the Mayors son. He befriended Soul when he moved here last year, showing him around and introducing him to his friends. Happy they get along with him just fine.
Soul gets on his motorcycle, he waves goodbye to Kid who gets inside his car. He was lucky to have a friend who was also rich and understood the struggles of the upper class. He starts up his bike and heads out. He realized while driving that Maka skipped rest of the day. So uncool that he had almost of his classes with her. So annoying when you are actually trying to pay attention in a class but your classmates got to keep talking about her.
He couldn't believe that she claims she can see ghosts. Ghosts are not real, monsters are not real, and magic is not real. What is her problem? Doesn't she want friends? But picking on her was fun too.
"Excuse me, are you Sam?" Maka asks as she walks up to him at a cross light. Sam look down at Maka and gives her a little smile, "Yes, but how do you know me?"
"I know your girlfriend Mary."
Sam frowns and looks down, "Oh," Was all he could say.
Mary rubs Sam on his back as he lets a tear slide down his cheek, "Don't cry Sam."
"Mary says that you shouldn't cry."
"Wha- excuse me?" Sam questions looking at Maka funny.
"Do you have a minute talk?"
"Uh, yeah sure."
Maka and Sam sit down at nearby bench. "Hold my hand, sir."
Sam gives Maka another funny look, "Why?"
"So you can see Mary." Maka simply replies. Sam arches a brow but takes Maka's hand anyway. He then sees Mary form in front of him.
"M-Mary!"
"Oh Sam, you can see me!" She happily gives him a hug. He hugs her back, and looks at Maka. "How?"
"I have the power to see ghosts, when I hold another humans hand, they too will have the power to see, hear, and feel the ghost like I can."
"Amazing!" Sam says with a big smile.
Mary runs her hand through Sam's hair, "I didn't know I was dead, until um, oh you never told me your name."
"It's Maka. Sorry, very informal of me."
Mary shakes her head, "Don't worry about it, but Sam, I was following you around all day!"
"That explains the feeling that you were with me." He smiles big but then frowns, "Mary, you have been dead for a week now."
"A week?"
"Yes, tomorrow is your funeral."
"Oh," Mary says looking down, she drops her hands to her side. Letting tears slide down her cheeks. "Oh Sam, I don't want to be dead, I don't want to be away from you! I love you so much, I wanted to share my life with you!"
Sam stands up, Maka leaning in so she can still hold his hand.
"Mary, I love you too, I was going to propose to you!"
"You were?" She asks as she lets out more tears.
Maka cuts in, "But Mary, you have to crossover, it's not safe for you here." Maka could see black clouds roll around them.
Mary sniffs, "You're right Maka." She looks at Sam, "Sam, I love you so much, I would have said yes and happily lived with you, but my reckless driving destroyed that. I want you to find someone new, and grow old with that person."
Sam hugs Mary, "I don't want to let you go!"
Mary buries her face in his shirt. "Promise me, promise me that you will continue to live, and see the world. Promise me that you will find someone else. Promise me that you will not change!"
Sam takes a deep breath. "I promise, so I can make you proud as you watch over me."
Mary smiles brightly, the dark clouds vanish and light surrounds them.
"Its so beautiful," Mary says amazed. Sam can see a beautiful light surround her. Maka smiles, "You are ready to crossover Mary."
Mary nods, "Thank you Maka; please continue to help other ghosts like me." Maka smiles and nods. "And Sam, I love you, take care of yourself." She gives him one last hug and kiss. "Goodbye love."
"Goodbye Mary, we will see each other one day again!" Sam says smiling. They watch Mary crossover into the light and vanish. Sam leaves out a shaky breath. Maka lets go of his hand.
"Thank you for being easier than other people when I try to get them to talk to their love ones." Maka says standing up. Sam nods, wiping his tears. "Can I give you a hug Maka?"
"Sure." Maka says with a smile. He gives her a big hug. "I feel so much better now. Thank you again."
"No problem at all." They say their goodbyes, walking away in different directions.
Maka starts to head home, seeing a ghost crossover always made her feel happy. It made her feel that she should not give up. She reaches another crosswalk and waits for the human symbol to appear.
Soul decided to ride around the city for a bit before he tells his parents he doesn't want to do the concert tomorrow. He could just go to the movies then perform and avoid a screaming match with his parents. Would his friends be mad to go to the movies before lunch? He knows Kid will understand, maybe he will convince the other for him.
Soul sees the light turn red but blows through it anyway, turning left. He then sees a person crossing, he screams and avoids the person by swerving around them, causing him to lose control and crash into a tree.
Maka gasp as the motorcyclist almost hit her, to her horror the person hit's the tree. She quickly runs over to the person, other people joining her.
Soul moans as he gets up, "Aw man, my bike!" He looks behind him as he hears a gasp, "Maka? That was you I almost hit!?"
Maka continues to look at him in shock. Soul gives her a confused look, "What? Why are you staring at me like that?" He looks at everyone else, ignoring him. Why were they more concerned with his bike than him?
"Soul…um."
"What Maka? I hope you know that you are buying me a new bike!"
"But Soul."
"Oh I get it, you're poor, no way you can afford that. Then you have to be my servant for a month and you are not allowed to do that weird thing. You know the thing when you randomly talk to yourself."
Maka bites her lips, "Soul."
"What?"
"You're dead."
"Huh?"
Poor Soul... Do you guys like the story so far?
I literally went on Fanfic for the first time in almost two years the other day. I reread my stories and laughed at my grammar mistakes, especially in Lost Voice. I then decided that I should publish the Unseen. So I went on word and found that I started it back in 2013 x'D
Finished the chapter in one go and now its midnight...WHOA!
Chapter two will be out next week!
