Whoop! New story! Trust me this one will be better than my last, I'm definitely going to make this more in depth too.. So enjoy!
I don't own Soul Eater.
The dark blonde girl slowly awoke in the darkness. She had dreamt a bad dream that Medusa had allied with all the evil forces of the world and took over not just Death City, but the neighboring cities as well. When she adjusted to the darkness she realized it wasn't a dream, but the reoccurring nightmare that she currently lived in. Medusa had in fact taken over, and she had done so with no mercy. All the witches became leaders and the Kishin and all other dark magic could be found in all corners of this wretched city. She rose from her bed and walked towards the small candles which were already lit against the wall.
"Someone got up early." She muttered as she walked the dim lighted path. She finally arrived at the gathering hall of the underground cavern where her and her fellow survivors lived. The grand cave held many tables they all had gathered over the last three years. They were already worn and seemed to not hold up well due to the moist atmosphere of the cave. Seated at some of the tables were Soul, Liz, and Patty talking amongst themselves. Maka waved to them and went to where they were.
"Morning Maka." They all said in unison.
"Morning." Maka said simply as she sat down next to Soul.
She looked up at the once legendary Thompson sisters, their faces solemn as they waited to eat breakfast. They were the only two who came to the cavern without their partner. Death the Kid had been missing for three years. After the attack and the loss of his father Lord Death the boy disappeared, no one had seen them since. Maka had seen their pain firsthand, Liz became a darker person and Patty had become almost mute; the happiness in the once bubbly girl had vanished.
Soon breakfast was served; each table had a group in it. Maka sat with Soul, Liz, and Patty. Together they were the elite leaders. They were the ones to leave the cave for medicine, supplies, and any signs of their hideout being found. Other groups were filled with people like Jacqueline, Ox, kilik, and Kim.
Maka was their leader over the course of three she had changed quite a bit; at least she thought she did. Her body had finally matured and Soul no longer gave her sly remarks on her tiny breasts. There was only one mirror in the cave, if you could call it a mirror that is. It was a piece of Lord Death's mirror Maka had managed to safe just before Stein evacuated her and Soul.
Maka had looked in the mirror each morning and had even tried calling Lord Death, or even Kid for that matter but it never did work. So Maka used the tiny mirror shard to check her looks and watch herself grow. She had grown an inch or two and now only wore a white tank top with green trim that barely fit and showed her stomach. Her pants had been torn at the bottom and fit into her now falling apart black boots.
Her coming to power in this group hadn't been hard. She was one of the older ones now being eighteen and she had Soul who was in fact a death scythe, her soul perception skills while out hunting for food and clothing made her the most useful when detecting a witch. This in turn though, made her the most wanted. Witches everywhere knew of her name and standing. Maka had to be careful while out now, for Medusa had set up posters wanting Maka dead or alive.
Soul broke the silence at the table by pounding his fist. "I can't believe we just sit here day in and day out eating this crap."
Maka looked up from her small roll of bread and cereal to glare at Soul.
"Soul you should be grateful you're still alive." Maka hissed
"Yeah well, day in and day out of eating this crap gets old."
"You know what we find out there Soul; the witches own everything it's not like we have much of a choice on what we get." Maka said sternly
"Beggars can't be choosers Soul." Liz said teasing him
Maka had noticed how these two had become closer in these last past months even going on missions together. Of course Maka didn't mind it she had known Soul never had any interest in her anyways. It's not like she did anymore either.
"Yeah, well this beggar is tired of those stupid witches. I say we fight." Soul looked down at his cereal and ate his hunger finally taking control. They were all hungry there was never enough food for everyone to ever be full.
"Soul what you're asking for is a total massacre." Maka sternly looked at him.
"Not if we bring Black*Star and this so called army of his he's created in the south of the city." Soul said
"Even then Soul they are Witches." Maka sighed "Not to mention the other people who work for Medusa. We need a shinigami and unfortunately we've run out of those." Maka said rolling her eyes.
"Lord Death didn't even stand a chance against all of them! How could we possibly do that?" Liz said looking at Maka
"Lord Death was taken by surprise Liz, as was everyone else, if Lord Death had all the death scythes and us there. It would have been a tougher fight. If we also manage to find another shinigami even younger with more power we can definitely put up a good fight with all the available forces." Maka sighed and took another bite of bread.
"Kid." Patty said finally talking.
Liz sighed and pat her sister on the back.
"We need Kid and well he isn't alive anymore or at least we think so. So basically we're stuck living here in fear." Liz said the anger in her voice evident.
"He may not be." Maka said looking the older Thompson sister in the eye.
"What do you mean!?" Liz said raising her voice. Causing everyone in the cavern to look over at their table.
"Liz sit down." Maka hissed
Liz sat down and moved closer to Maka to see what else she had to say.
"I was waiting till the right time to tell you guys but lately in this area I've been feeling a strange presence unlike a normal witch soul, or human soul. Unfortunately whenever I get close to seeing the soul I lose it. Whoever it is or whatever it is. They're smart and they're hiding from what I don't know." Maka said looking over at Liz and Patty.
"So basically Kid might be out there right now." Soul said leaning in close to listen as well.
"Yes, I think he might be." Maka said her eyes filled with determination in the small light of the cavern.
