"You damn fool, you don't get it do you!" The boy was punched in the face, his head smacked into the hard wood wall of the room. He didn't react back, and simply stayed there, once again to stare up at his betrayer. His white silver tips wiped the blood from his face, but it didn't help him at all. Blood was dripping from his mouth, and his eye. Bruises and dirt covered where scars and cuts had already been.
"Youre a slave, not an agent! You carry out my orders no matter what!" This time he was gutted in the stomach, causing him to moan out in pain. his hands chained behind his back and above him, this was the punishment. It had only been less than 4 hours ago…
"Soul Eater Evans; SEE, youre ready for your next assignment, an order from the Kurori directly."
"pffffft… see… your initials are see…" Blackstar stifled a laugh and ended up snorting. Soul elbowed him in the side, and headed towards the room. He walked down the red painted hallways, the windows and floor covered in beautiful cedar wood that shone in the sunlight. The sun was setting now, why was he getting a mission so late? Then again, this wasn't the first time either. Being Kurori's favorite agent, he got to go places others would never dream. Kurori was a spying company under the government and also took apart with Lord death occasionally. So where was he going now? A confident, 'im awesome' smile creeped onto his face, as he turned the door knob.
"Hello?"
"Ah, Evans, you're here." The room was white with patterned walls like something of a church or courthouse, with the hundreds of intertwining designs dancing across the cream paint in a gold shimmer.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Yes…" And he turned away towards the window, staring out at the people laughing and rushing and going along with their day. Soul thought sometimes he envied them, being able to go outside like that, because he was constantly doing business indoors. But immediately he shut the curtains.
"Please check no one is outside. This is a top secret mission for you." Soul excitedly made sure no one was around, and closed the door.
"Ready for instructions."
"Come here." Kurori handed him a picture. A… girl?
"That girl is Maka Albarn. Shes from a noble family who works with us. Shes 17 now… and ive watched her grow up… shes innocent and kind… and I need you to do a favor for me." Soul didnt like where this was going, but ignored it and nodded anyway.
"You need to sneak into her house, and find her. Once you've located the girl your instructions will be played out from there. Oh, and youll need this."
? The man handed soul a wristwatch.
"What is this?"
"My gift to you. Its one of our prototype watches, and hasn't even been released to any other agency company yet. Its got 40 different tools such as a tracker, a translator, a tranquilizer, even a camera."
"Sweet…" He smiled, impressed.
"Youre dismissed. The sun is almost set. I will call you at eleven. Be ready."
Soul headed out the door. He wasn't sure what exactly Kurori wanted, but he was sure it was for a good reason. Why this was a 'top secret' assignment he didn't understand either, but he had a job to do. Kurori had taken care of him all these years after he ran away from the Evans. He owed him that much.
The violet red moon began to rise over the small town. The Albarn house was actually on its own piece of land, with rich beautiful mansions to surround it. the garden was well taken care of, and had just been watered. They must have some high paid gardener's... He stared into the backyard, and in an instant he was gone. Soul was known for being super fast, but he couldn't hold it out for a mile. He was exceptionally great with it in spying missions, for when stealth is at its highest need. He trailed to the backyard where cameras didn't even catch a shot of him. Soul darted in and out of the trees that lined the mansion, looking for camera spots. This would be a good place to hide out until then. With one swift move soul flipped up into the tree, hiding himself. He needed to find out where she was now…
Mo-ther! Look at the sky! The little boy ran out onto the porch, where a light was turned on. Kami West (formerly Albarn) walked out onto the porch in a casual evening dress, and stared up at the sky.
"Oh, youre right, wow. The stars are so clear…"
"Mother, there you are!" The teenage girl strode out onto the porch like some princess who had never run a moment in her life, her arms up at her shoulders. (That must be her…)
"Maka, what are you doing out here so late! get back inside!"
"But how come Goruko…!"
"Goruko is an adopted child! He doesn't get to see things like this often!" The girl frowned sadly at the ground. All she wanted was to join them and see the stars. She couldn't see the stars from her room, and whenever she tried to look out, she fell out the window… (which was scary and she never tried it again.) Mother and Step-father had been more hostile to her since goruko came, and even more so when she enrolled in DWMA. They had never wanted her to join, but Maka had skills and strategy and she didn't want them to go to waste. She hasn't found the right weapon yet, and people avoided her because the Albarn family is known for… not exactly being nice. She hadn't made any friends yet, but she would! She had to! If she didn't, she'd one day get an arranged marriage and be trapped forever! She didn't want that. After all, Maka was a kind hearted girl, and wouldn't hurt anyone. (who didn't deserve it anyway.) Really she just wanted a friend… Her stepfather was the main reason she enrolled though. He had always been clingy to her... she hated it. it wasn't a father x daughter cling. He would often get her alone, and try to force her... but she always ran away before he could do anything. She's scared of him… that one day he'll attack her… she had tried to tell Kami, but she wouldn't listen. And now she was feeling more alone than ever. Maka turned on the light in her room, and jumped onto her bed. Her black dress just covered her middle thighs, and sent a cold chill up her legs. She took off her shoes and opened the window. It was warm outside, and she loved the air. turning back off the light, she fell onto her back and soon fell asleep. She didn't bother to put on the covers. The room filled with darkness as the light outside turned off. The moon was now high and highlighted the room. Her curtains blew open and rippled like waves being tossed around by the wind. Instantly the wind calmed and the room was silent once more. Until two red eyes appeared, glowing in the dark.
