Summary: In the world of Soul Eater, a new girl in Death City encounters a gang on the way to a kishin. Unlucky for her she doesn't have a weapon and is outside the city so none of the students can help her. When all seems lost, a warlock comes to save her, a.k.a. a male witch. Can she trust him?
If you've read about the character, Varidy, in this story from another story, you should know I suggested this character to that author so this character is mine. Also, if there's mistakes in the speaking it's just the way they talk. Hope you like the story.
I don't own Soul Eater.
Soul Witch
CH.1
A girl with brown, blond, and reddish hair with brown eyes that looked almost black walked toward Death City, it was late at night. She also wore a black shirt and blue jeans.
When she walked toward the highway of Death City a gang car suddenly cut her off from the entrance and six or seven so men with different builds and guns barged out. They aimed and fired, she ducked. When she noticed they were going to surround her, she had no choice but to run away from the city.
She knew it was stupid, but the highway was the only way in, so she could only try to lose them then come back.
She ran with fast speed. The gang got back in the car and chased. She tried to lose them but they were in a car, she wasn't. They shot, she barely dodged. When they were far enough from the city to where you couldn't see it, the car speed up and drove in front of her. The men got out and circled her. In an attempt to live she picked up a big branch and hit the closet man, knocking him down. Two other men grabbed her arms, causing her to struggle, and the man she had hit got back up. The leader cocked a gun toward the back of her head, she stopped struggling and her eyes dilated.
"Well, don't you have spirit?" the leader said mockingly.
"Help!" she yelled.
"What good will that do? We're too far away for anyone to hear you, and even if someone did you'll be dead before help comes."
"Well I was hoping they'd at least find you even if I died. True it was useless, but it was worth a shot."
"I'm not liking how calm you are." He touched the gun to her head, and her eyes dilated once more. "Good bye. I'll enjoy eating your soul." He fell. Then the men holding her arms fell. She and the rest of the men looked confused, and then she saw a shadow move. The rest of the men fell, each of the men was then replaced with a corrupted soul. The girl was shocked. She looked to her left and saw a shadowed figure.
The figure stepped close, letting the moonlight show its appearance.
A witch. No. It's a he.
He was dressed in dark purple clothing (cape, pants, long sleeved shirt, and a witch hat) and had a black leather sleeveless shirt on top of the purple shirt, the leather shirt had thick straps going diagonal with iron buttons. He carried a golden staff with a crescent, tips pointed up, at the top. He had pale skin, black hair that went in pointed shreds, and red eyes. He looked about her age, 15, and he wore a plain expression.
"Are you OK?" he asked.
"Ah. Yeah. I'm fine."
"That's good to know. I was flying by when I saw you having trouble. The name's Mucren by the way. What's yours?" he smiled.
The girl hesitated but answered, "Varidy. My name's Varidy."
"Unique name. It's nice." He said kindly, "I like it."
She looked at him, unsure. "You're a witch, aren't you?"
His smile fell. "The correct term would be warlock, because I'm male." He sighed. "Look, I understand you don't trust me, and you don't have to, alright? Just stop giving me that look."
"Oh. Sorry." Varidy stopped looking him with distrust, but still looked cunsure."Um… thank you for saving me. I would've been dead if you hadn't."
Mucren smiled again, "You're welcome. I was glad to help." Rain suddenly poured heavenly down. "You know, I could get you out of this rain. I could probably take you a town or someplace dry."
"I'm good. I'm sure I'll be fine."
"Come on. Death City isn't even in view; you'll get sick out here. Let me at least take you to a cave I know that's near by. Please."
Varidy hesitated, "Alright, but just to the cave. This better not be a trick."
Mucren sighed, "Thank you, and it isn't." he smiled, lifted her, and flew. He held her under him with both hands, protecting her from the rain, his staff somehow gone.
"So why did you help me?" Varidy asked.
He blinked. "You were in trouble. I couldn't just leave. I may be a witch, but I wouldn't let someone die like that."
"I can see what you mean. …I've never seen a male witch before or heard of an encounter of one either. Why is that?"
"Warlocks are very rare. I actually may be the only one left. Apparently witches are more powerful than warlocks."
"That must suck."
"Even so, I'm actually stronger than quite a few. What I meant was females can get more powerful." He smiled again.
"I see." Varidy shivered.
"You cold?" Mucren asked.
"Yeah."
"Don't worry. The cave's in view." Varidy looked; it was the same cave she saw on her way to Death City, so now she knew her way back. The cave was small, but could easily fit the two with room for 4 or 5 more people. They entered the cave. Mucren let her down and Varidy sat near the edge of the wall. Mucren sat at the other end. Varidy perked a brow. "What?"
"I just didn't expect you to stay."
"It's raining. I need a dry place too."
"Right." She looked at him. "Where did your staff go?"
"Huh? Oh." Mucren held up his hand and his staff appeared in a flash. "I hid it with magic."
"That's kind of cool."
"So where were you going before the criminals attacked you?"
"Death City."
"Really? If I had known that I could've taken you there."
"Well this cave is fine. If you had taken me to Death City, I'd probably still be out in the rain. So, Mucren right? You know Soul Protect?"
"Yeah, but I still have to hide when in a town."
"Interesting." She tried to think of what else to say. "What is it like to be a witch, warlock I mean?" Varidy then shivered and Mucren looked at her.
"You alright?"
"I'm fine."
Mucren showed he didn't believe it. He then snapped his fingers, "Sun Raise."
Varidy was covered in light for a second, she was dry right after. "I'm dry."
"Yep. Now, as for your question: it's cool to have these powers; however I can't just meet someone. I'm always not trusted. I admit, I love being a warlock, but I just wish to be trusted."
"I… see." Varidy felt somewhat sad for him.
"Well don't show remorse alright." Mucren looked out the cave, "Hey, it stopped raining." Varidy looked and saw he was right. Mucren looked back at her, "You can go if you want. I'm staying here to sleep. It's pretty late."
"I'm going to have to agree with you there. I'll sleep here tonight then go to Death City in the morning." Varidy looked at him.
Mucren perked a brow, "You sure?"
"Although I don't fully trust you, you seem alright." Mucren's smile grew.
"Well if that's so, then how about I fly you to a spot close to Death City?"
"Don't push your luck, but… I'll think about it." she smiled, the first smile directed toward him. Mucren closed his eyes and he had a smile that seemed happier then the previous, he opened them again and looked out the cave, the moonlight showing how he looked more clearly.
'I know I shouldn't trust him, but he has a kind and gentle aura, and his constant smile, he was also acting nice…' she looked at him 'he's actually kind of cute for a warlock.' She shook her head from her thoughts. 'He's still a witch though. I shouldn't even have trusted him. Oh well. Hopefully nothing bad will happen tomorrow.' By then Mucren had closed his eyes and had gone to sleep. Varidy decided to do the same. Her last thought before she drifted off was, 'How did I get into this mess?"
So how was it? I got this idea one day and after I got most of the plot thought out I started writing it. I would love to hear what you thought of my story and what you think is going to happen in future chapters through reviews. I would also like tips to help me with my writing too. Please review so I can continue writing.
