Okay, this is my first story on this account. So please, no hate. Please. I love Soul Eater, but this is not in the Soul Eater Universe. Some of the things will be slightly altered in order to work here and there aren't any Meisters or Weapons. And I should warn you, this story will contain violence, gore, swearing and potential character death. It is a zombie story after all. You have been warned!
By the way, there will be a few OC's in here. But only because there aren't a lot of Soul Eater characters that I can use completely. And a few characters might die. And this will be Maka-centric. I'm debating whether or not to add MakaxSoul, MakaxKid or just no pairings at all. I've never written any romance before and might want to try it out, since it's pretty popular in this fandom. If I do end up doing that, don't be prepared for much, it is a zombie apocalypse after all, there are more important things to worry about.
If you have any idea's for the story you don't mind sharing please PM me or state in a review. I'll give you a shout out if I do decide to use an idea. The more idea's you give, the less likely this story is to end up on Hiatus.
I once tried to create a zombie SE story on my old account, which didn't go so well and I canceled it (I had written in 2 years ago. I'm a much better writer now). If you want to know the name of my old account, so you can see my other works, just PM me.
"Maka!" At the sound of someone calling her name, the pig-tailed girl stopped walking and looked up from her book, turning to look at the classroom behind her. Seeing there was no one there, she continued walking into the hallway, eager to get home. She looked back down at the page she was on, when she heard someone call her name again.
"Maka!" Whoever was, she hoped they had a good reason to pull her out of her book; she was just getting at the good part, too! She looked behind her, prepared to yell at them, when she saw her best (and only) friend Liz running towards her, with a smile wide on her face. Wait- Liz is running? This must be the end of the world or something, Liz never runs, ever! Not even in gym class.
"Hey, Liz. Why are you so happy today?" Maka asked; she couldn't help but break into a small smile at seeing her friend, who was acting way different than usual, something must have happened to make Liz so happy.
"You know that kid in class, right? Hiro?" Maka looked at her confused, everyone in school knew who Hiro was, he might have been somewhat a pushover but he threw the coolest parties in the school. But Maka was never invited to any of those parties, and had no interest in going either. From the rumors she heard, some crazy stuff happens there; last week a kid broke his arm at one of Hiro's parties. Apparently he jumped off of a chandelier or something, Maka didn't pay much attention to the endless gossip that poured out of Liz's mouth.
"I know of him, yeah. Why?" Maka questioned.
"Well, guess what?" Liz exclaimed, looking at Maka with a smirk wide on her face. Maka sighed, she guessed she'd have to get back to her book later.
"What?"
"Well, Hiro told me I was invited to his party tonight and that I could bring a guest!" Liz looked as though she was about to explode with joy. Maka, however, wasn't too thrilled by the idea. She knew Liz hadn't gone to one of his parties before either, but she didn't want Liz to get hurt. With the addition of over half of all the high school students, Maka heard rumors that a lot of college kids went to Hiro's parties too. Maka decided to voice her opinions to Liz.
"I don't think that's such a good idea."
"What! Why not?" Liz pouted.
"You heard how dangerous Hiro's parties are, plus there are a lot of college kids there! It's not safe for us, two Sophomore girls. I can't control if you go or not, but I'd rather not." Maka was considering lying and saying she had plans, so Liz didn't pester Maka to go, but then Liz would start prying for information.
"Why do you have to be such a party-pooper, Maka? You never do anything fun, you're going to live a safe, boring, worthless life if you never take any risks. I thought that maybe you'd want to go so you could keep an eye on me, make sure I don't do anything stupid, but you won't even come then. You, Maka Albarn, are a horrible friend." Liz stated, trying to make Maka feel bad about not wanting to go with, Maka knew that. But that didn't help Maka feel horrible. What if something did happen to Liz? Maka sighed, she didn't want to do this, but Liz was leaving her no other choice, it was either go and hate every moment of it, or stay home and have Liz whine about how awesome it was and how Maka should have gone for the rest of her life.
"Fine. But we're only staying until ten!" Maka told her, if they only stayed for the first few hours it shouldn't be that bad. If they left before everyone got drunk, then they should be in no immediate-
"Midnight." Liz argued.
"Eleven. No later. Deal?" Liz scanned her over, crossing her arms.
"Fine. But you better not chicken out on me and decide not to go. I want my first party experience to be with my best friend." Liz turned and made one last comment before leaving. "Plus we needed a designated driver, later!"
"Wha- LIZ!" Of course Liz had a different reason she wanted Maka to go that she wasn't letting on. Maka sighed, then started walking towards her locker, putting her book it before leaving. She wasn't in the mood to read anymore and she didn't have any homework, so she really didn't need to bring her bag home. As she stepped outside, she made her way to the bus and sat in the first open seat she saw. It seemed she made it just in time, since right after she sat down the bus started moving.
Liz and Maka weren't the two people you would expect to be friends, heck, even Maka was surprised time to time. They were polar opposite. While Liz loved to meet new people, shop, and gossip, Maka preferred to keep to herself and just read. Maka was the more responsible one, so it was no surprise that Maka got her learner's permit while Liz couldn't even get her license, though that didn't stop her from driving.
The bus arrived at Maka's house sooner than she expected, it seemed not a lot of people were riding the bus that day, but she was too lost in thought to notice. She nodded to the bus driver as she got off.
Maka looked at her house. Only she and her dad lived there, but he was never around, so it was like she was the only resident. It was a rather simple house, it had a kitchen, living room, bathroom and two bedrooms, which resided on opposite sides of the house, so her father wouldn't disturb her if he brought company home late at night.
When Maka walked on the house she collapsed onto the couch, reaching onto the coffee table in front of it and grabbing the remote, turning her head to look at the tv while flipping it on. She started surfing through channels, trying to find something good. She finally settled on a horror movie. Honestly, Maka didn't like them very much, they were so fake! But the only other stuff on was either news related or little kid shows, and she disliked them much more than horror movies, at least some horror movies were so cliché it was laughable. Maka watched the tv, slowly becoming tired at the old, low-budget movie she was watching. It was so predictable. Eventually sleep overtook her.
"Maka?" A distant voice called to Maka. Maka rolled over in her sleep. "Maka, wake up! We're going to be late!" Suddenly a force came from behind the couch, pushing her onto the floor. Maka opened her eyes and looked at Liz, who was leaning up against the back of the couch with a small smirk of amusement on her face.
"What are you doing in here?" Maka asked, surely her dad wasn't home yet. He was either at work or at a bar, trying to pick up chicks.
"I knocked, but you didn't answer. So I just came in." Liz explained, like it was obvious.
"Isn't that breaking and entering?" Maka questioned.
"I didn't break anything, and plus I've been to your house so much you're dad has gotten used to me being here and stopped hitting on me."
"Only so I didn't hit him." It was true, whenever her father did something stupid around Maka, she would throw her book in his direction (granted if she wasn't reading one she'd throw the nearest book she could find). She never hit him on purpose, only throwing it near him which he actually found pretty amusing. Only once did she actually hit him, she threw her math book because she was becoming frustrated with a problem the teacher assigned and never taught them how to do and he happened to be standing there. Let's just say it hit him somewhere the sun didn't shine and Maka didn't stop apologizing for the next week.
"So, ready to go to the party?" Liz asked, but then looked at Maka's clothes. "You're not wearing that, are you?"
"Why, what's wrong with it?" Maka asked, slightly offended. She looked down, she was wearing what she normally would, a white button up shirt under a plaid vest, a green diagonally striped tie, a plaid red skirt and black converse.
"Nothing, but we're going to a party. But we're running late, you don't have time to change. Just ditch the vest, tie and button up shirt, you're wearing a tank top under it, right?" Liz questioned, and Maka nodded.
"Yeah but-" Before Maka could finish, Liz grabbed Maka's vest and yanked it over her head before Maka could argue. Then she yanked off Maka's tie then reached for the buttons of Maka's shirt. "I got it!" Maka interrupted before Liz could do anything more. After a moment's hesitation, Maka unbuttoned the shirt, revealing a black tank top underneath.
"Happy?" Maka questioned, standing up. Liz smiled happily.
"Yep, now let's go!" Liz rushed Maka out the door into her gray compact car. "By the way, how do you fall asleep with your shoes on?" Maka shrugged, she had no idea. She was tired, she didn't realize she was still wearing them.
Liz hopped in the driver's seat and Maka slid into the passenger seat. Liz put her key's in the ignition and started the engine, pulling out of the driveway. Maka pulled her cellphone out of her skirt pocket and texted her dad (ignoring the "That thing has pockets?" question from Liz), telling him that if she was going to hang out with Liz for awhile.
Hiro's house was located about 45 minutes away from Maka's house. There weren't a lot of houses around his, the road connecting his house to town was an old highway, still used quite a bit. There was a lot of trees surrounding that road, the only building they passed once they reached the highway was an old looking gas station, that seemed to be open still. Liz pulled in and told Maka that they needed some gas. Liz decided to pump and sent Maka in with twenty bucks to pay for it.
The gas station was well supplied compared to how poorly it looked on the outside, it's aisles being filled with various snacks. Maka walked up to the counter, not seeing anyone around it.
"Hello?" Maka questioned. She heard an "Oof" come from the back and a lean ginger boy come out of an employees only door. His nametag read 'John'.
"Sorry, boss ordered to much stuff, it's piling up in the back. And of course, I'm the only one on duty." John explained, then flashed her a toothy grin. "Wouldn't suppose you'd want to buy any of it?"
"No, we just want gas." Maka told him, handing him the twenty dollar bill.
"We?" John questioned, and Maka looked at Liz out of the window. John followed her gaze. He then looked back to the register and typed in twenty dollars for gas, cashing it. Maka said bye to John then returned to Liz, who was waiting in the car for her.
"How much longer until we reach Hiro's house?" Maka asked.
"We're about halfway there." Liz told her, starting the car back up. Maka looked at the digital clock on the radio. It said it was 8:47. It was going to be a looong night.
No zombies yet, it's still getting started.
So what'd you think of John?
Like him? Hate him? If enough people like him, I might make him a more major character. If not, I have other plans for him. Sorry about the OC's, I know a lot of people don't like them, but I do (sometimes). He'll be one of the only one's (I hope). So don't worry. It'll be more centered around the SE cast, unless any OC's I use become popular with you guys, then I may just include them. So tell me what you think.
Fun Fact: The first half actually came from an old story I was starting about a thief named Angel I started over a year ago. I ran out of ideas and after I watched Soul Eater, I realized Maka and Liz's characters would work for Angel and her friend Kim's. Then zombies came in and this was the result!
Please Review, for... falling asleep with shoes on?
