"SOUL!"
It was late in the night and a small breeze began to flow , piercing at my cheeks. The only light came from the crescent moon hanging in the sky, but the clouds that surrounded it only allowed me to see my hands in the darkness around me. I pushed my hands out in front of me to feel the ground as I crawled across the alley in search of my Weapon.
"SOUL!", I cried out again, but was greeted with only silence.
I continued to crawl in desperation until I had finally come across a body lying still in front of me. Oh, God. Please... No. As if enjoying the sight of my pain, the moon began to laugh out, breaking the silence that filled the cold night air. I looked up to see that the clouds were beginning to fade allowing light to slowly take the place of what was once a black abyss. As my eyes began to adjust I recognized spiked snow white hair and saw that the body in front of me was, in fact, the body of my Weapon. Soul, I thought as tears cascaded down my raw, reddened cheeks. I reached my arms out to him and pulled him into my lap. I'm so sorry... His head dangled off my left arm as I put my face to his allowing our foreheads to touch. I took my right arm and placed it under his legs pulling him as close to me as possible.
"I'M SO SORRY, SOUL!", I screamed out as loud as the air in my lungs would allow me.
The clouds had finally left the moon giving me the chance to truly take in the sight of the boy that lay in my arms. His eyes were closed, but I knew the crimson orbs held no sign of life behind their lids. I lifted his left arm in hopes that I may be wrong as I waited for any hint of a pulse. After a few minutes, the pulse never came and I let his hand fall to the ground as I started to go into shock. My heart began racing and I could feel my lungs grasping for the air around me. As I hysterically began trying to fill my lungs, I let go of Soul and felt my hands clutch my diaphragm. Oxygen was my enemy in this moment as it evaded me and I knew I would be gone soon. The darkness would consume me once again and I would be left here to be lost in it, this time, forever. The world around me began to feel only like a dream; blurring and fading slowly until there was nothing more than a small ounce of light fighting it's way through. And before that dream was truly lost to me, I heard soft footsteps running towards us. And then... My eyes closed and I was lost, floating aimlessly into the dark that had so many times threatened to keep me.
I was a Meister. And Soul was my Weapon.
