SPOV

I wouldn't let her hurt Maka, no more than she already has. Not on my watch.

Maka and I were originally supposed to just take care of a pre-kishin, one by the name of 'Amy Bishop' or most commonly known as 'The Deadly Professor'. She had gone mad in the middle of a conference and killed her colleagues, she escaped before arrest so Maka and I were supposed to stop her before she killed any more people. We had succeeded but before we were able to get out of here, a witch by the name of 'Robina Hood' spotted us and attacked. I don't know how she knew, but she knew that we were DWMA students with one glance. She wasn't any ordinary witch. She used nature and animals to bring down her foes, and Maka just got knocked out from a tree branch slamming her into the neighbouring tree. I was dropped instantly and so I transformed back into a human.

So here I am, putting myself between the witch and Maka. I won't let her touch my meister, I'll die before I step aside.

"Step aside, Scythe. This is between me and your meister. That little bitch's mother crossed my path, humiliated me in front of my witches circle, and I want revenge on something she holds dear. Your meister fits that bill perfectly." The witch cackled. That's right, the bitch actually cackled. I saw red.

"You're not touching my meister. I won't let you." I growled. Suddenly, the witch stopped cackling and took a look at me. It kinda freaked me out.

"Hmm. You're loyal, brave and stupid. You're more of an animal, to me. I mean, you have bloody red eyes and razor sharp teeth to match. You have white hair and a menacing deep voice, too. Hmm. The closest animal I can relate those traits to, would be a.. Oh, I see what I can do now. No, I won't hurt your little meister. Forget about that bitch Kami, I just found something interesting to do." Robina grinned evilly. I gulped, seeing that crazed look in her eyes while she stared into mine. She was starting to get me nervous, but I still refused to move. I won't let her touch Maka, even if she just said she wouldn't. I don't trust witches. The only exception is Kim, since she is a DWMA student herself. Blair doesn't count, though, since she's just a cat with a ridiculous amount of magical power.

"What are you blabbering about, witch?" I spat venomously. "Back off, You're not getting anywhere near Maka."

Robina's evil grin turned into a crazed smile. I was tempted to just turn around and put Maka over my shoulders, then make a run for it. I didn't though, because I had to watch her every move to make sure she doesn't get close.

"This is just perfect. You don't talk much either, do you? You growl more than you do talk. You know what? I feel generous. I won't do what I wanted to do 2 minutes ago, simply mess with your head, and instead I think I will curse you. Don't worry, this curse can be broken.. But I'll let you figure that part out for yourself." She laughed maniacally. My eyes widened and I felt myself pale. I felt like ice was running through my veins at what she said. She was going to curse me. The only thing I could do, is protect my meister and hope to god that she didn't do anything extreme – like turn me into a newt or something. Gross and uncool.

"Whatever. You're still not going anywhere near my meister." I growled, warning her.

The witch laughed harder before abruptly calming herself. She closed her eyes for a second, and when she opened them again, her eyes flashed a green colour before going back to her normal colour. Which was orange. Who the hell has orange eyes?! Oh well, who am I to talk – I have red eyes.

"Growl, Prowl, Howl, Howl.. Kugeuka hii ya binadamu katika wanyama mwenzake, mpaka yeye inapata moyo binadamu mwingine wa.." The witch chanted. My eyes widened, I shook in fear a bit, but I stood my ground. I forced myself to stay put, because I didn't care what happened to me, just so long as Maka was protected. She comes first. Not only is she my meister, but she's also the closest friend I have. I would rather it be me that gets hurt, than her. I shook my head, clearing away any cowardly thoughts, and glared at the witch. If she wanted me to move, she had another thing coming.

A sickly green glow surrounded her hands as she aimed at me. I didn't move an inch, even as that sickly green glow left her hands and surrounded me. I did, however, crumple to the ground in pain as I felt my bones shift. It wasn't the same shift that I got when I went from boy to blade, but I could tell that I wasn't a boy anymore – not a weapon though, either. After several agonising minutes, I collapsed onto the ground, panting. To me, I sounded like a wild dog. But I don't know, I mean, I could be something else. I didn't care about what I was though, all I cared about was protecting Maka.

I forced myself up, standing on.. all fours? I looked at my body. It looked like.. a wolf's body. Startling white fur was all over my body. I licked my mouth, my teeth were still sharp. I could imagine my eyes still being red. I shook my head of all distractions and stood in front of Maka once again. I growled at where the witch previously was. It was strange though, because she wasn't there anymore. I looked around. She was gone. I went back to Maka, nudging her with my nose. I kept nudging her until she woke up. When she did, she didn't scream like I thought she would. No, what she did surprised me. She just looked into my eyes, face paling, and she whispered one word.

"..Soul?"
