Chapter 1: Heading out on my own
"Later Allen don't die," May said her farewell to Allen Walker then yelled to General Cross, "BYE PERVERTED OLD MAN!"
"I'm not an old man!" Cross yelled back.
'Didn't turn down the fact that you're a pervert,' Both May and Allen thought.
May left without another word walking all the way till dusk without a single akuma so when the light began to fall May decide to settle in a tree for the night with her scythe, La Muerte, on her shoulders as she leaned in the tree. As May fell into a snooze as how she first met General Cross.
Flashback:
It was a winter night and May was running but she didn't know what or why. All she knew is when her father gave her the scythe for Christmas the next day things were weird so she ran but no matter how far she ran May could still feel someone chasing her that seemed to get closer and closer and closer.
'So tired but I must keep running. I don't know why but I know that thing will kill me if it catches me,' May thought and pushed on through the pains of hunger a her body begging for a rest.
It's been a week since her father and mother told her to run and never come back in fear of her life so now she ran not knowing what scared them so much that the strongest and most fearless people she knew was scared to the point of telling her not to come back and not to go anywhere that could hurt someone else.
'La Muerte seems different too ever since I held it the day after Christmas it felt somehow alive,' May thought looking behind her and running into someone in front of her that she didn't sense.
The man had vibrant red hair and eyes with a Opera-esque mask on the right side of his face an Opera-esque mask on the right side of his face. He bent down and somewhere deep inside her May lashed out at the man without knowing why only because she was terrified that he has been the one chasing her because the look in his eye showed that he new her but she didn't know him. The man pulled out a gun and blocked La Muerte with ease grabbed May and shoved her into an alleyway with his coat around her and blocked her from view. After a few minutes May finally broke the silence that was bothering her.
"Who are you? What do you want with me? Are you the one that's been chasing me?" May asked her voice shaking with fear as she was ready to bolt at any moment.
"My name is Cross. Marian, Cross. I want to help you. I'm not the one chasing you but if you would like you can travel with me and be safe. You look tired why not rest for a bit?" Cross said looking at May's deep red eyes.
"To dangerous. Whatever is chasing me will catch up if I stop so I've been running for a week straight," May said.
She didn't know why she was telling Cross this but for some reason she felt that she could trust him and then she felt a bone chilling feeling as a human walked straight up to Cross.
'That the person,' May thought as she pulled the coat closer trying to make herself as small as possible but it didn't work as another man sneaked up behind both Cross and May. It seemed as if timed slowed as May watched as Cross handled both man in an instant then scooped her up and ran.
"What were those things!" May yelled above the wind as she clung on to Cross's chest for dear life.
"Do you want to help people?" Cross asked which shocked May.
"Yes….."
"Those were akuma," Cross said.
"What are you?" May asked letting her though slip out of her mouth and waited for a beat down like the ones she was use too in her old town.
"An exorcist," Cross said after a moment.
End of flashback
May woke from hearing a small noise under her and as she looked their beneath her was a person.
'Human or Akuma?' May thought as she watched the figure go into town.
May followed it and found that it was a akuma so she yelled everyone to get away because this man was deadly and would kill them in an instant which made everyone step back, alerting the akuma to her and as it turned transforming.
"Innocence activate!" May yelled and charged at the akuma her scythe in hand.
May was knocked back and attacked which she blocked, dodged, and feinted.
"Ladron De Almas (Soul Stealer)!" May yelled and killed the akuma.
Putting the scythe back on her shoulders she walked out of town and into the woods to try and get some sleep but she has learned over the 10 years she was with Cross as his pupil to be a light sleeper or else.
"Damn old man," May muttered as she jumped up the tree.
May has always been sensitive to a lot of things in the world but has been able to adapt quickly unlike Allen who couldn't stomach the Generals cooking. May could sense when a akuma was near but could not pinpoint the location….yet. May then let her mind wonder as she fell back into a light sleep.
