I felt my fingers go numb as arrows entered my body and ripped my insides to the point I could actually feel my guts churning and about to spew from my mouth. This was awful. All I could do was watch as a sinister woman came into view, the arrows coming from her body. One of her golden snake like eyes were visible to me but the other was covered by a shadow and all I could see was red.

The red made me think of a poison apple, like the one Snow White bit into, almost ending her life. That's all I could feel.

Poison.

She cackled as I attempted to speak, but all that came out was blood. She made a hiss that seemed be mixed in with a click of her tongue as she rubbed her hands together. "Snake snake cobra cobra snake snake cobra cobra."

The arrows tightened around me and with one solid tug my body was ripped into pieces.

"Wake up!"

I jumped and collided heads with Matt. Matt was always the first person up so he felt the gracious need to wake me up whenever he felt it was a good time. Sometimes, he let nature take its course and I just woke up when I was ready. Recently he's been getting me up every day. I guess he wanted to meet up with Maka and Soul so we could catch some breakfast before we went to the DWMA.

"Remember to bring cash!" Matt scolded as he jumped off my bed and began to walk out of the room with his hands casually on his hips like he always did to give off a cocky manner he always wore. "I told them you'd be paying as a type of gift for claiming ninety-nine souls. All they like is one more soul and Maka will have transformed Soul into a Death Scythe!"

Matt seemed so excited I couldn't help but laugh. "Why do I have to pay? Why can't you?" I crossed my arms over my chest and gave off my best pout. Hopefully, he'd feel sorry for me and decide to pay himself. "Won't work! You're Maka's sister for crying out loud! Why can't you just pay this once?!"

I jumped out of my bed not even caring that I was just in my underwear. Matt was like my brother, so there was no shame. I placed my hands on my curved hips. "Ok! I'll pay if it'll make you shut up…but I've payed all the other times so you owe me a trip to the mall rich boy! And Maka and I are only half sisters…." The last part I mumbled under my breath so I was thankful he didn't hear because no doubt he'd tell Maka if he'd heard.

"I'm not that rich." His cheeks flushed. "But I do have enough to bring you shopping…again.." I grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him around like a rag doll. "Yes!"

I pushed him out signaling that I was going to change like I always did. It was in our routine. I grabbed my black lacy bra and matching underwear along with my most common outfit: Black shoes with a small heel at the bottom, white socks. a plaid skirt that was red and green with mirrored green lines, and a simple white shirt with a blue tie. I parted my hair down the middle and ran my brush through the thick ends. I grabbed my books and placed them on my bed and grabbed my makeup kit before running across the hall to the bathroom.

I put on some black mascara, a little eyeliner to highlight my blue eyes, and some pink lip gloss making my white teeth even whiter than what they really were.

"Hurry up slow poke!" I heard Matt call from the front door. I grabbed my books and chased after him out of the door.

Matt turned to me and rose a strawberry blonde brow. "Why are you wearing that?" I looked over at him with a questioning eye. "Wearing what?" He leaned over and inspected my face a little further, a little to close for my comfort, he was penetrating my personal bubble. He was my weapon yes, but I still hated people getting to close to me.

"Makeup?" I asked nervously. He nodded and squinted his eyes."You never wear any…" I nodded and shrugged. I thought it was time for a change.

"Hey, Matt!" We both turned to look in front of us to see Maka and Soul strolling to over, and as usual Soul was hunched over with his hands stuffed into the pockets in his jacket. Maka wore a rather annoyed expression as she placed her hands on her small hips.

"Why are you trying to make out with my sister?" Maka's question caused me to jump back and nearly fall over. Matt stumbled over his words as he tried to explain. Maka rolled her green eyes. "Of course, you're just like our father, always cheating."

That kind of hurt, considering the fact I was a result of our dad's cheating. I didn't let it show as I composed my stature and strolled ahead of them. "Are we going to get some food or what? My treat!"
