Hellloooo everybody! I was originally writing another chapter for Truth or Dare gone wrong, and this idea kept bugging me. SO. Please read, and if you like it and want me to write more chapters, then review. It's a songfic based of off Broken by Seether, a terrific song. Thanks to LoveOneLoveAll for helping me with writers block! Disclaimer: Don't own Soul Eater. Never have. If I did, then it would be on its eighth season already! So, Please enjoy my new story (hopefully not a one shot.)
Chapter 1
Soul's POV
I knew we couldn't win this fight. Maka, Kid, Liz, Patti, Black Star, Tsubaki and I were all fighting the same monster that Friday night. It was dark, the bloody moon grinning high up in the sky. A dry wind blew, sweeping up dust and trash from the dimly lit streets. Streetlights struggled to glow, giving us as much dull light as they could as we exhausted ourselves. I heard Maka breathing heavily; sweat dripping off her forehead as she skid to a stop. I felt my blade drag against the ground, screeching horribly as it cut against the cement. She was tired and wasn't going to last much longer. I could see Black Star on a rooftop, growling at the creature. He had a deep gash on his left arm, and blood was pouring down his face, dripping off his face and onto the roof. Tsubaki was a ninja sword, and I could see his grip tightening on her handle. He was trembling, not out of fear, but out of exhaustion. Kid was standing under a streetlight, Liz and Patti death cannons, wrapping themselves halfway up his arms. He was in a defensive position, blood was dripping out of his mouth, and he was panting heavily. We weren't going to last much longer. We had been fighting for over a half hour, and everyone had been doing soul resonance. There was so much physical and mental strain on everyone. Even all seven of us couldn't bring the damn thing down. It had a name, but I didn't care enough to remember it when Maka told me. The thing was one hideous monster though. It had a humanoid figure, but it stood about seven feet tall at the minimum; with no hair, but brown, slimy skin that was smooth but scaly at the same time. It had six fingers on each hand, long, yellow claws at the end of each with disgusting, needle-like teeth to match. Its face was wrinkled and deformed, with no nose and a gaping hole in the middle of its face, taking place of its mouth. It smiled a rotting smile in an insane kind of way, like Black Star on a sugar high. The eyes on the thing were red, like mine. But its eyes were cruel and sinister, the kind of eyes you would see on a killer that knows what it's done and loves it. Just looking at the creature made my skin crawl. And the way it walked… It was like a puppet on strings. The thing walked with a strange jerk, its head twitching, its arms jerking around at random times. The thing dragged its feet as it flew at us. I winced as it crashed into Kid, smashing the boy into a storefront. Sliding to the ground, he started shooting rapidly, but the shots seemed to go right through him. Black Star jumped down form his perch above, slicing and hacking the freak as he fell, leaving cuts up and down his back and legs. It was incredible; I've never heard him so quiet before. He had finally shut up. It was a miracle. Just then the thing realized that someone was chopping him up from behind and it angrily brought its hand around, slamming into Black Star, throwing him into some crates in front of a market. I heard him curse weakly as he tried to get up. Maka seized the chance and came storming up the street at the thing, swinging me down, decapitating the thing. Everyone stopped and watched in what seemed to be slow motion as its head rolled of off its shoulders and onto the ground, bouncing twice before coming to a stop. Black Star winced as Tsubaki helped him up out of the demolished crates, and Liz and Patti were bent down next to Kid. He got up, walking over to the head, examining it with interest. Black Star began laughing manically as he watched the headless body fall to the ground in defeat.
"It's about damn time that bastard fell before its god!" Black Star yelled, pointing his finger at the sky, and wincing at the effort it took to do so. I rolled my eyes as I changed out of weapon form; toning him out as he yelled about how awesome he was, every so often flinching as he did something that hurt his already bruised body. Tsubaki eventually made him sit down and shut it. I looked at Maka as she yawned, sinking to the ground.
"That was exhausting…" She groaned as she looked at me with her pretty emerald eyes. "When we get home, I'm taking a bath then going to sleep, and I don't want you to wake me up until next month." I laughed, flashing a toothy grin as I motioned for her to get up. She shook her head and lay on the ground, refusing to get up. Kid laughed from his spot by the body as she pouted like a toddler. I shrugged and began walking towards my bike.
"Whatever Maka, I'll just leave without you!" I yelled over my shoulder. Sure enough, she bounced up, waiving her arms.
"Wait! No, get back here!" She yelled as she skipped over. I chuckled to myself. Works every time. Suddenly, something moved from behind her. Black Star shouted as Kid fell back, tripping over himself to get away from the body as it began to move. It shook its shoulders, stretching so that his head hit the ground behind him. Its feet dragged him over to his head, which it picked up with limp hands and bloody fingers. It shoved the head onto its shoulders, making it loll unpleasantly. Nobody was celebrating anymore. Kid and Black Star went back into their defensive positions, Tsubaki as a chain scythe, Liz and Patti as their normal pistol form. Maka didn't realize anything was going on, and was still skipping towards me. She must have noticed something was wrong by the look on my face, and stopped. I could hear her ask what was wrong, but I didn't have time to answer. I saw where the creature was heading. So did Kid and Black Star. They started yelling at Maka to get out of the way, to run. The damn thing was coming to kill Maka. She started to turn, trying to figure out what had everyone freaking out. I started running, fully intending to take whatever hit the thing was going to throw at Maka, Hoping and praying I could get there in time, so Maka wouldn't get hurt, so I could save her…
But I was too late.
She stood there, frozen in place, realizing too late that the monster had revived. Her eyes were calm and sad as she slowly looked down towards the six claws piercing through her stomach. Everyone froze, watching in horror as her hands went to the gaping wound through her middle. She didn't cry. But I did. Her eyes closed, and she went limp.
And I Watched Her Fall.
I knew we couldn't win this fight. I just didn't know what we all would lose, in the end.
Ooooh, a cliffhanger! How awful of me! Anyways, please review. Thanks you so much guys, you are awesome!
