Not a lot is known about my past, or my brother's for that matter, but then again there isn't really anything to tell. My family exiled me for a reason I don't even know. All I know is that I found by Death Scythe and his wife, and grew up with the Albarns. I know it seems silly to do what I've done, especially with the people I grew up around, but I've always been known to do stupid things. Although this counts more into the category of "What the hell were you thinking Katherine?!" Everyone in Death City knows of the witch Medusa and her son Crona. Although not everyone knows of my involvement, it is true that Maka was the first friend that Crona had, but that's only because I was something more. I couldn't accept what Medusa was doing to him, and so she put black blood in me as well. I didn't have a weapon at the time, because I am a weapon. I am like Justin, one of the Death Scythes, I can wield myself and I am very powerful. I just didn't know how powerful until Medusa had Crona and I fight. A lot of my memories are all jumbled from this time period, so I'll start at the earliest one I had.
I was walking home from the DWMA at around midnight; I had stayed late to talk to Black Star. It's never smart to walk down a dark, deserted alley alone at night, but I thought I was fine. See the problem with alleyways is that they make your imagination go into overdrive, so that's why I didn't notice the shadowy figure until it was already too late. I woke up in a cell type place, but I couldn't really tell because it was pitch black. I don't know how long it was until they opened the door, but I was starving and weak. I looked up into the blinding light and when my eyes adjusted I say a boy, my age, staring at me with the oddest expression. "M-Medusa wants t-to s-see you." And with that he walked away, probably expecting me to follow. I did exactly that. I struggled to my feet and followed this boy, with the cutest pink hair, down many hallways until we reached a room that held a crystal ball with a woman I'd recognize anywhere. I don't understand why I didn't recognize the name! "Nurse Medusa? B-but how!?" I stuttered and she just chuckled darkly. "Why little Kathy, I just had to use you for myself. Your powers are just too good to pass up. And besides, my little Crona here needs a play pal." I blinked and looked over at the boy she gestured to. 'So, I guess this is Crona. He's not bad looking, he's actually pretty cute. Snap out of it Katherine! You need to get out of here!' 'But what if you don't want to leave?' 'Who was that?!' 'Why I'm you, just the part of you surrounded in madness.' 'Madness? What's that?' 'Listen to Medusa and you'll see.' As I looked up from my inner conversation, I saw Medusa circling me smirking. "So I see you've met yourself." I stayed quiet knowing it wasn't a question. "Well Katherine, the madness is a part of you. It is the part without fear, your stronger half if you would. I brought you here because your powers rival that of Lord Death himself, but you need to learn how to control them. I can teach how to, not only control your powers, but I can make you invincible. What do you say?" I stood there speechless. I had the option of unlocking all of my abilities and becoming invincible, but there's always a catch. "What's the catch Medusa?" I stare warily at her as she smiles evilly and hides her eyes behind her hair. "The catch is that you stay with me and do my bidding." I sigh heavily and look at the floor sorting through my options. I could say no, but then she'd probably kill me. On the other hand, I could stay. "I guess…I choose to stay." Medusa started to laugh manically and all I could was glance up at her before everything went black again.
