The moon laughing in the starry sky, blood dripping from its grinning face. A fierce wind wiped through the streets of Death City and a figure that was occupying one of the cities many corners shivered. This figure was curled up with its arms hugging its knees in a futile attempt to remain warm against the harsh autumn elements. As the wind around the figure began to calm, a small sob issued from the huddled up figure causing it to shake slightly.
Footsteps echoed from the chilled streets causing the figure's head to snap up with a fearful look in her deep green eyes. The footsteps gradually got louder, causing Maka to try to push her fragile body further into the corner than she already was. Hoping that she could just blend into the shadows.
A streetlight flickered from down the cobbled street, the light momentarily extinguished causing Maka's attention to be drawn to it. When the flickered back to life a thick soled yellow shoe entered the light. The red trousers that appeared above the shoe caused Maka to shiver again, 'surly this figure is walking deliberately slowly to torment me.' she thought to herself. Within the pool of light there was now a yellow and black jacket on top of the trousers. The figure took a slow deliberate step forward finally revealing his full form under the light. Blood red eyes gazed into emerald green. Maka felt herself stop breathing as she took in the figure within the light. His spiked snowy white hair not effected by the wind and beige coloured headband restraining his hair from his face.
The figure made no move to advance any further Maka sighed in slight relief, 'At least it wasn't papa that found me, I don't think I could have handled another round of shouting at the moment.' she thought thankfully.
"Hey." The guy from the light called pulling her from her momentary celebration.
After a few minutes of staring at the guy in the light she realised she should reply. 'I need to know if this is one of papa's messengers, if so I need to run… hmm I better rearrange myself so I can if needed.' she shuffled, rearranging her body so that her legs were no longer stuffed under her arms. Placing both hands on the chilled street she was finally ready to run at a moments notice.
"Are you deaf? I said 'Hey.' its rude to just ignore people you know." The figure from the light slightly shouted at her.
"Hi." Maka heard her voice almost break even a she said the two letter word.
"Finally, she speaks. I'm Soul, Soul Eater Evans and you are?" He questioned her.
Maka felt her face flush as she replied "Maka, Maka Alburn." Shivering slightly as the cold wiped round her again.
"Your cold," Soul started "Why don't you stay with me tonight don't worry I'm not after anything in return, I'm not that kind of guy, I'm way too cool for that."
"A...a...are y...you s...s...s...sure?" She shivered.
"Positive." Soul smiled. "Lets go."
