Chapter 1 ~{(The sparks when our eyes meet)}~
(7 years ago Age:10)
I hesitate at my front door before extending my hand out to grab the handle. I gulped and I flex my hand around it. I squeezed my eyes and glance back over my shoulder. Today was the day. The day of my escape. As my eyes began to wander around my soon to be forgotten world, I smiled. I was free. I tugged the doors open and jumped out.
Probably not the smartest thing to do, but it was worth it. I was kept in the shadows and now my chains were broken. I squinted getting used to the sunlight. It hurt so much that my eyes began to water. I stood there blinking fast and wiping my tears away. I'm not sure who freed me but I could see their soul. it was bright and big, and had the oddest shape formed on opposite ends, I couldn't remember what it was but it look like a hangnail thing, but the moment my chain was broken, it disappeared.
I clumsily took a step forward, now that my eyes finally adjusting to the light I look around confused. I had no idea where I was, or where to go. I don't even know who I am, or what I am for that matter. The only thing I had was my name; Mayura. I continued to let my legs stretch and I felt lost. I sat down against a tree and tears began to fall. I was free, but was I free to do? Or go? I've never had anyone in my life, I had books, I taught myself how to read and write. I've never really spoken a word before.
I gasped and looked up when I heard a voice behind me. Was this an Adult? No from my books he looked to be an adolescent. He smiled at me and I stared wide eyed, My heart began to raise out of control and I tried to crawl away, but he just extended his hand out to me. I looked at it and his smile grew.
"Don't worry, you'll be safe." He looked at me again and I thought I saw his cheeks go red. " I can help you."
I glanced at his hand again and my heart began to slow. Hesitantly, I reached out and brushed my fingertips against his. Slowly his hand wrapped around mine smooth, soft, and warm, like the feeling of a blanket. "There you go." He helped me to my feet, but I didn't let go of his hand. "You can let go now." I blushed and let go, pushing back my raggedy bright orange hair. He chuckled at me and I glared at him.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you." He looked down at me, and I grabbed my shoulder and held myself close. This gesture, I only did when I was scared. "Are you okay?" I nodded.
"Can you speak?" I stayed quiet. "Well do you want to put on something slightly more comfy?" I glanced at him with a gleam in my eye. I don't know what comfy clothes are, all I had was this torn brown dress, which seemed to have gotten smaller than I last recall. I nodded at him and he reached his hand out again and I grabbed it. "Can I ask you a question?" He says after we start moving. I clutched his hand tighter.
At this point in time I don't know if I could trust him, but he was helping me, and that's all I could account for. He didn't seem dangerous. I looked at him, and I nodded. "Do you have a name?" I looked to him then to the ground my bare feet brushing up against the grass. "I guess you don't have to tell me, unless you're ready to tell me."
"Mayura." I squeaked. I covered my mouth. That was the first time I have ever said anything, and I was slightly frighten to hear my own voice.
"What a beautiful name." I blushed and from that point on, my life began to change.
(Present day Current Age: 17)
I stretched my arms up and yawned too loud, as my eyes opened I had chalk thrown right at my forehead. I fell over and looked up at Sid. "Hey! what the hell was that for!" I screamed at him throwing it back at him. He caught it nonchalantly and grinned.
"Well Mayura, seems like you had enough time to ignore all my lessons, and you are the only one at this academy who has yet to find a meister, let alone reveal your weapon form at all, What do you have to say about yourself?"
"Uh..." I scratched the back of my neck. "I'm sorry, I'm retarded?" Everyone in the class began to laugh.
"Alright, you stay after class." Sid screeches at me, just as the bell begins to go off. I stretch and stick my hands in my pocket and walk down to look at Sid.
"Honestly, you think I'll ever learn anything if you continue to punish me everyday like this?" I say with boredom in my voice.
"No, but I expect more out of you."
"You should probably lower your standards on me."
"I expect greatness out of you, I remember the first day you showed up here at the academy you even had lord Death just as baffled as all the staff here at the academy Just five years ago wasn't it?"
I scratched the insides of my ear with my pinkie. "Yeah well as of three years ago, I don't remember anything. My memories have been wiped, I don't remember where I came from, or even if I was ever a weapon to begin with." He grunted and looked down at me again.
"Well anyway, Lord Death wants to see you, so hurry along."
"Wow, that was the shortest lecture I've ever gotten, this must be real important. So long." I dashed out of his office and down to the Death Chamber. I wonder what this was about.
"Remedial lesson?" I groan.
"Well we want to see if we can invoke your powers or not." He waved his giant hands around for emphasis, as if he needed the emphasis.
"But who will I go with huh? We have yet to find a meister who can be on the same wave length as me." He scratched the back of his neck. " Well I have a remedial Lesson set up for four other students here, That lesson will be in three days, until then you should try to catch up on your studies."
"So three days from now? Why so specific on me huh?"
"Because you'll be without a partner."
"Right." I sigh and look back up at him.
"Until then you should probably try to make friends here... Their names are..."
"Look sorry to interrupt, but I'm not interested in those kinds of things, this remedial lesson will be done with and we'll all go back to being in our normal lives so if you excuse me..." I waved goodbye and I thought I heard him whisper something under his breath. I shook it off and took off to my apartment. Most people here live with their partner, but since I have no Meister, I live alone. I felt more myself this way anyway, it's not like I need other people. I go to make tea and I felt the headache coming back. I squeezed and fell over hitting my head against the wall.
I had these frequently, but now they were coming almost everyday. It began to flash white, pure white all over then the darkness swallowed that light whole. "What am I?" Maybe it's my past trying to fight itself free. I'm not sure why my memories were locked, but the last thing I can remember was that of three years ago, I felt this pain in my heart and I was waking up in front of lord death. He knew my name, but I couldn't remember how I got there, what my motives were.
It finally passes and I skip tea and dinner and go straight to bed... this was going to be a long night.
(Three days later)
"So where do we go from here?" Says the blue haired annoying boy.
"Something about meeting with Dr. Stein?" Says the annoying pig tailed girl
"Yeah we have to get to the bottom of this..." Says the annoying drooling one.
"Oh lets just hope that Black Star doesn't get us into anymore trouble." Says the annoying happy go lucky girl. Hey they were pretty much all annoying to me.
Even during the fight with Sid the Zombie, They were all so clueless, and all I could do was just sit back and watch them all fight. I had no abilities or special powers. In some cases I was just normal.
"Hey you." I look up at the annoying drooling one. "You are pretty useless, that's uncool."
"What right do you have to judge me drool boy?" I snarled back. "I'm not sure what I am yet, but apparently I'm a weapon. I'm sorry I can't do much."
"Yeah, maybe you're just a dull and broken weapon." I rolled my eyes as we make it over to the creepy stitched up building. Everyone points out there opinions on it and the door flies open. We all get into a stance and here a loud noise rolling out. Out falls an idiot man in a chair. He adjusts the screw in his head and gets up and tries again. Same result. Yeah this guys an idiot.
He finally notices us and stares at each and everyone of us and stops at me. His eyes widen and I felt something in my stomach turn. I felt a pull, a connection, A sense of right. Everyone stared back at me, and he adjusted his glasses forming his cool again. He smiled at all of us, analyzing us.
"Well..." He says coolly. "Lets begin."
