The fear of falling is a fear we are born with. It even occurs in other animals.

That's the last thing I remember: falling.

I woke up to find I was lying on the hard ground with the sun blaring on my face. I squinted as I tried to block it from my eyes. But they couldn't help but widen when I saw the sun, it had a face! It just didn't look like a trick of my eyes, it was laughing! How on Earth was all of this possible? But as I looked down at my body and surroundings… it became apparent I wasn't in London anymore.

It looked as if I had left reality itself! Everything was cartooned! It looked like I was in a flippen' kid's TV show! I glanced around for any sign of people but found none. I made my way towards a town I could see, and as I got closer, I finally recognised where I was. I was on the scene of an anime show called Soul Eater. I huffed to myself; I had to be dreaming, there is no way I have been teleported into the anime universe… I didn't know that much about Soul Eater anyway! I had only seen the first couple of episodes and that was ages ago.

Death City is a lot more colourful and cheery in real life. In every shop there were colourful toys, clothes, perfumes and food! I saw a shop window and managed to catch my reflection. I guess I still looked like myself… only as if I was made in this anime style. I had my wavy golden blonde hair which came to my waist, longer than I remember but I'm not complaining. I had on a light green oversized jumper, the sleeves went way past my hands and the top of it nearly covered my mouth. For bottoms I was wearing light blue shorts with a white outline along the bottom, I had long white socks going to just above my knee with dark blue converses. The only thing different from before were my eyes, they used to be a warm brown colour, but here they are scarlet red.

A thought suddenly popped into my head, if I was in Soul Eater, how was I going to get home? As I looked to the centre of down I saw the DWMA high on the hill. If I made it to see Lord Death, maybe he could help me find a way home… all I needed to do was keep my head down until I got to him.

Going from one end of the city to the other really took a long time! I looked up at the large stairs to the Academy and started to climb them. People passed me and looked at me but I just kept my head down and buried my face into the neck of my jumper. As I reached the door and entered I saw the mission board… and the main characters standing in front of it. I instantly saw Black Star from the bright blue of his hair, and the tall beautiful Tsubaki beside him. And then to the left of them were the 2 main characters; Maka and Soul. They were arguing about something or other, I would have loved to be able to talk to them and get to know them but I just didn't have time. I needed to find Lord Death and get out of here as soon as possible!

I looked to the most normal person I could see; a young girl with short brown hair, hazel eyes, tanned skin wearing a baby blue dress. "Excuse me," I asked her, she turned and looked at me. "I'm really sorry but could you tell me where Lord Death's office is?"

She smiled kindly. "Oh, are you new?" She asked curiously.

I smiled slightly and shrugged. "Sort of." I lied.

She put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry about it, I still get lost here sometimes." She turned me around and pointed down a corridor. "It's down that corridor, past a few doors and then just carry on following the signs."

I looked at her and smiled. "Thank you." I said gratefully as I left her. I carried on down the corridor and was about to go through the next door but I bumped into someone coming out of the door. I looked down to see that I had knocked him over. "I am so sorry, here let me help you." On top of everything I knocked all of the papers he was holding onto the floor. As we stood up I noticed I knocked down not just a boy… but Death the Kid himself! I snapped out of my daze as he was looking at the papers in my hands. "I'm really sorry I wasn't looking where I was going."

He took the papers from me and smiled lightly. "Don't worry about, I wasn't either." I smiled awkwardly and walked around him to the next corridor. "Are you going to see my father?" He asked and I nodded in response. "Oh… he didn't tell me he was expecting anyone." He eyed me suspiciously.

"Sorry, I didn't know you needed written permission." I said quietly.

He chuckled. "Nah really it's fine go on it. Is there something wrong?" He asked, odd… I don't really remember him being this kind in the anime. But then again, I can't really remember much about the anime in general.

I turned around so he wouldn't see the vast worry on my face. "Sorta."

I entered Lord Death's office. He turned around to see me. "Oh hello!" He greeted me cheerfully. "Is there something I can help you with?" He asked.

To his right I could see Spirit; Maka's dad looking at me with curious eyes. "Um… I was hoping that you could… help me with something?" I asked, I was so nervous. What if he can't help? What if he deems me a threat? What will he do if he decides he doesn't want me in his city?

"Oh… I think I know who you are."

I hadn't realised I was staring at my feet until my head snapped up to look at him. "You do?" I asked, starting to get panicked.

"You're the one who fell from the sky aren't you?"

There was dead silence. It was almost deafening to the point I wanted to run away; but I desperately kept my feet to the ground. Spirit looked utterly confused at Death's comment. "What are you talking about?" He asked him.

Death tilted his head to the side, still looking at me. "I think so." Spirit's attention returned to me. "I really don't know what happened."

Death held his over-sized hand to his chin (or where it would be if not for the mask). "What do you remember?" He asked.

I rattled my brain for what seemed a little longer than normal. "I was on the train. I was heading out to my university, I had just spent time at home for Christmas before heading back for study." I scrunched my nose. "I was upset. My father and I got into another argument, and I wanted to just get away. Then my vision went black and then I woke up just on the border of Death City."

"Wait, are you saying you're from another world?" Spirit asked, his eyes growing wider. I nodded, my hands retreating into their sleeves and my neck burying deepened into my jumper. "So how did you know where you were? How did you know where to find Lord Death?" He continued to question me.

"Back where I'm from, all of this is an anime show." I quietly said; waiting for his reaction.

"What?!" Spirit half yelled. "Are you saying that we're not real where you're from?! Do you really expect us to believe that? You're obviously an escapee from a lunatic asylum!"

My sides began to shake and tears of frustration formed in my eyes. "I'm not making this up!" I yelled at him, with caused him to take a step back. "I'm studying Literature at university, this kinda stuff doesn't happen in real life! It's is physically impossible for this to happen to me! I want to go home and right now I am terrified so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't call me a liar!" I finished my vent. Spirit was in a weird position, his hands above his head and his eyes were wide; he was blinking a few times; probably recovering from shock. "I'm so sorry I shouldn't have-"

"That's quite alright missy." Death interrupted. "If something like that happened to me I'd be pretty freaked out too." This caused me to smile slightly. "I completely understand this must all seem pretty unreal right now, and don't worry I will do all I can to find a way to get you back home."

I smiled wider. "Thank you so much, I don't know how I can repay you."

He waved his arms out. "Nah nah don't worry about it."

A thought then crossed my mind. "But this may take some time, what will I do in the mean time? Won't people find me… I don't know strange if they found out about me?"

Spirit put his hand on my shoulder. "Not if they thought you were just a new student. You can study here in the meantime." He said.

"Good idea Spirit." Death agreed. "You can see what life is actually like in this show you've seen."

I laughed slightly. "But where will I live? I have no money, clothes or family here?"

"We can get you a flat, it won't be anything fancy but we can set you up there." Spirit offered. "It can be close to your son Death, that way if anything goes wrong you have someone we trust close to you."

Death the Kid; somehow I doubt he would ever trust me if he found out I'm not from this world. "Thank you. Really, for everything. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't gotten to you."

Death clapped his hands. "Yah yah don't sweat it kiddo. I think you'll like it here. Who knows? Maybe you're a weapon or a meister? There might have been a reason for you being sent here."

I rubbed my arm. "Sure, if you think so then I'll give it a try."

And so my trial life in Soul Eater began. "What was your name by the way?" Spirit asked.

"Hannah. Hannah Weaver."
