Well hello! Thank you for looking at my story :)
Disclaimer- i do not own Soul Eater or A Beautiful Friendship... All I won are Ivy and Val :)
I was racing down twisted hallways. Something was behind me, coming closer and closer. "Help!" I screamed as I threw open yet another door and raced down the endless corridor. The thing was getting closer, screaming for my blood. I tripped, and scrambled to get up, trying to keep running. I turned left again, and again. "In a maze, you always keep your hand on one wall... Eventually you will get out." I thought desperately. I turned again- strait into a wall. "No no no no no!" I moaned, spinning, searching for an exit. But there were none. The beast was at the end of the hallway, and I could see it's red eyes through the darkness, piercing me, hungry, always hungry. It sauntered closer, sharp bright teeth gleaming in the small light from the moon high, high above. "Help... Please. Anyone." I begged to the sky, closing my eyes as I waited to feel the touch of death-
"Ivy! Wake up!" something screamed into my head. I jolted upright, almost flinging Valiant off my chest. He glared at me, then put his forepaws against my head, and I felt myself immediately begin to calm.
I looked over him, to the mirror across my bed. We were quite the sight. My short black hair was tousled and in places plastered to my head with sweat. The covers of my small bed were tangled around my legs. And on my lap was Valiant, rubbing his head into my chest. He looked like an over-sized cat, or a lynx... Except that he had six legs, and was a lot bigger then most lynxes, and he could stand on any of his two legs to become almost three feet tall. Together, we looked like we belonged in the circus.
"HelloooOOooo..." Valiant shouted into our mind connection, tapping my head. I rolled my eyes and pushed his paws off me, fake grumbling a "get off me". He did his little cat smile, and the worry I sensed through our connection turned to relief. I playfully pushed him off my lap and climbed to my feet on my bed, standing on tip-ties to peer through the little window at the top of my room. It was still night, but the sun would soon rise, I could see it. I sighed and got changed into my plain black clothes, grabbing Valiant off the bed, to his protests, and sitting him on his own loft bed I had made for him when I was younger. He rolled his eyes, then perked up his ears. "Lord Death is coming." He said calmly. I threw my dirty clothes into the hamper and sat on my bed.
A few seconds later Lord Death knocked on my door. "Are you awake Ivy? Oh, and Valiant." "We are awake." I said aloud, it felt weird to use my voice, I was so used to just talking through my mind connection with Val. Lord Death opened the door and had to duck to get into the room, which Valiant always found amusing. "How are you?" Lord Death asked cheerfully, still bent over. "We are good." I said, trying to keep my voice even. He didn't need another thing to worry about. He looked at me, cocking his head, before moving on. "I am going to busy all day, so I don't think I will be able to come down here. Do you need anything?" I smiled and shook my head. Valiant grumbled, "Sunlight." and I laughed. Lord Death looked back and forth from him to me, and I translated his yearning. Lord Death didn't laugh though, or anything of the sort. He nodded to us and left, some of his bounce visibly gone. "Oops." I said to Val.
We have never been outside, that we can remember. Actually, we have never left this room. When I was a baby, and he was just a kitten, Lord Death found us at a evil witch hovel. He took us, since he had just killed my family, and raised us beneath this school. DWMA. We are deep enough that no one can sense my soul. Because I am a witch too. Though I am very weak, and pretty harmless, since I can't imagine hurting anyone. Not that I would really know. While we have never been out of this room, Lord Death is the only one who ever comes in. So I don't really know anyone else. We just have each other. And I know that we both burn to go outside- but I respect Lord Death's wishes. I will stay here forever if that is what he wishes. I understand. I am a witch, his greatest enemy- what would people think if they knew he had raised one, trained with one, become a father to one- it would be unthinkable for the people in this city. So I stay.
Is this a good idea or not? Please review!
