Cursed Blade

I jumped over the ruble that used to be my house in Death City trying to get back before they notice me. "I have to make it back to Mr. Mad's house before it seals" I thought while hiding behind a pillar waiting for a witch patrol to pass "I really need to learn to blend in with witches like Big Star and Symmetry Freak can" I slip past the witches and into what used to be an alley and can see my target, what used to be a stitched up lab. "Almost there. Dr. Death is going to kill me for being out this late" I jump over the ruble and run to a spot on the floor at the end of an arrow and lift it up revealing a ladder I jump down just in time and hear the groan of the floor sealing shut above me.

"You almost didn't make it." I turn and see Lady Reaper and Nega Scythe or as they used to be called, Maka and Soul "The sun is about to rise"

"I never really could keep track of time" I say as a joke but apparently it isn't taken that way.

"Then learn" She says grimly and starts walking down the long hallway to the control room. She hasn't been at all the same since the witches took over. But she has it better than Nega Scythe; he can't even speak any more. A witch was trying to slit his throat but he escaped before it could kill him.

"That was a joke" I say under my breath and start to follow. Once we get there Mr. Mad stands up from his seat to greet me.

"Did you find anything?" He says to me referring to my mission. I reach into my pocket and hand him the flash drive that contains the new frequency code for the radio system. "Good." He sits back down and hand the drive to Dr. Death and he places it in the computer and starts to download the information. Mr. Mad and Dr. Death are really Dr. Stein and Lord Death. Like Lady Reaper and Nega Scythe they aren't the same either. No one is. Including me.

The door opens and Big Star and The Enchanted Sword walk into the room. They returned before me with the other set of information we received today. "Hey. I see you made it back in time." Big Star, also known as BlackStar, says and scratches his eye patch "And in one piece"

"Nice to see you back Cursed Blade" says The Enchanted Sword sarcastically "At least your mission was a success as well. But we did beat you back" she gloats.

"Nice to see you guys back as well" I say equally sarcastically

"Come on guys. If you are going to get in a fist fight, again, at least go outside." I look around to see Symmetry Freak, also known as Death the Kid, standing in the doorway.

"They can't. The door has already sealed." Says Yin, Patty

"Very True" Yang, Liz, agrees

"Hey" I say to Symmetry Freak as I pull him aside "Any luck trying to find me a meister?"

"Sorry Cursed Blade. No luck" He says dryly

"Being meister-less sucks. I can't use my full power without one." I say lifelessly

"Well you have a very specific wave length. You need an exact match." I look over and see Mr. Mad has joined the conversation.

"Very true. Guess I will have to wait." I say as I look at my watch. "Well I am going to hit the hay."

"Yeah. Good idea. Maybe we all should." Dr. Death announces from his wheel chair. "We have a long day tomorrow, like we do every day." we all dispersed to our dorms.

Dr. Death was right. Every day is a long day when hiding from the witches.
