Full Summary:
"One can never escape the chains of guilt. Once you're bounded you can never return to your former glory."
Aurelia "Aura" Reeds didn't like how her friend Alana "Lana" Vega shoved her into watching an anime she barely knew about. After watching the first three introductory videos of the Soul Eater gang, Aura finds herself drifting to sleep. A voice beckoning to her. Calling her name. Across the void in her mind.
By the time she awakened, Aura panicks as she finds herself stared at by the same two major characters of the anime her friend gave her. Maka Albarn and Soul Eater.
Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater at all except my OCs.

"Hah!" Sprinting, Aurelia Reeds bashed the dummy swinging her wooden practice tonfas across, "95. 96. 97. 98. 99."
She droned on as she continued focusing on her attacks, "100!"
By the time she reached the last one, Aurelia had slumped to the ground.
Drenched in sweat while wearing grey sweat pants and regular t-shirt.
Aura wiped off the now drenched brown bangs, as she stood up again to go wash.
As she splashed water into her face, Aurelia began taking in her appearance. Shoulder length brown hair girl with clear blue eyes stared back at her. In truth, her friend Alana said she was pretty.
However all Aurelia could see was disgust deep within the pools of her sight.
It made her remember the past. Before she met Alana Vega.
It was thanks to her best friend that she was able to leave her previous house.
Abuse.
The one word which described her mother.
When her father left, abuse was all she got in return as a result of being a replica of her father's image.
Aurelia was greatful now. Alana Vega was indeed the best friend she could ever had. She was the one who reported about Aura's mother. Allowing her to freely live alongside her friend. The apartment still had lingering memories, but Lana's family was greatful to change the interior of the apartment. As repayment Aura began working as an intern in the archives of their local library to return the favor.
However...
"Aura!" Lana called as she barged into Aura's apartment as usual, her short black hair unkempt yet framed as her brown eyes sparkled in excitement, "I got you something awesome!"
"Lana, please tell me it's not another anime. Last time I watched Katekyo Hitman Reborn with you," Aurelia grimanced at the thought, "You were writing a fanfic about me as an Assassin working under Dino."
"Well too bad, because this lovely item is yours to watch now!" Lana shoved the DVD into Aura's arms.
Aura scowled back at her before returning her gaze over to the DVD, "What is this? Soul Eater?"
"It's a really good anime! You've got to watch it! Please, please, please, please!" Lana shook Aura many times begging her to watch it.
Rolling her eyes, Aura answered, "If I watch this, you better not write another fanfic about me and someone in this anime."
"Oh don't worry, I doubt I can. ...Unless you end up falling for one of the guy charas!" Her friend winked pointing eagerly at the DVD clutched into Aura's arms.
"Why you!" Aura chased Lana all over her apartment until Lana reached the door yelling, "At least I don't copy-cat 18's tonfa moves!"
"It was your fault!" Aura retorted.
Once The apartment door slammed shut, Aura dropped to the floor exhausted. "I wonder who was the one that gave her obsession over anime."
After changing into a black sleeveless halter top, denim short, and black leggings.
Aura switched the tv on, and started up the anime Lana gave her.
"Soul Eater, huh?" Aura stared at the title screen as she pressed play.
-After the third episode Aura's POV-
"What! Those three episodes were just a prologue?!" I wanted to scream at Lana right now as I shut the tv off.
"I need a break from Lana's insanity." I plopped onto my be, grabbing my iPod I skim through the list songs. After finding, Memories of You ~Reincarnation Ver.~, I slid on my headphone clips.
Whenever I listen to this song, it's as if all the guilt binding me has been lifted. Sitting up I scanned for...Aha!
"Tonfas." I smiled, it was a gift from Lana. After introducing me to KHR.
I don't know how, but she got me a real-life replica of the weapons. Though in truth I just wear it on a makeshift weapon belt.
"Maybe I should keep it beside me?" Placing the weapons closer to me. To be honest as much as I like the character who weilds them, I loved the weapons over the character. However I get the feeling I know the reason as to why Lana wanted me to watch Soul Eater.
Weapons.
Meisters.
"Wonderful." Closing my eyes.
All I could see was void.
Music drowning me out of misery.
As if I was floating peacefully, until a voice interrupted the silence.
(The Voice Someone Calls ~P3 OST)
"Come to me my bounded puppet." the voice commanded.
"Who...?" I spoke quietly.
"If you wish for freedom. Then I shall grant it to you."
I didn't understand what the voice was saying until I felt myself being pushed down into the pits of void.
Frantic, I screamed struggling to move out, "HELP!"
I felt as I was being pulled down into the void, as my muffled screams ceased.
