Don't fret precious,
I'm here.
Step away from the window,
Away from the window.
And go back to sleep.
"Oh Crona, dearest."
Pink-haired Crona turned to face Medusa; who had taken over the body of a small child. Crona shakily answered, "Medusa-sama?"
Medusa had approached Crona when Crona had left Kid's house after the party. Crona had been walking through the alley as a shortcut to get to the dormitories. Medusa was grinning; her golden eyes boring deep in to Crona's blank gaze. "I've missed you," She said. "Ah, I'm so happy, Crona! You recognize me, even in this form. Isn't it pitiful?"
"W-What are you doing in Death City?"
"I wanted to see you, of course! Isn't it obvious? I was…really worried about you, Crona."
"W-Worried? Are you here to take me back with you?"
"No, no. This situation is perfect. Crona, I need you to infiltrate Shibusen for me as a spy."
"I-I can't!" Crona blurted out; one hand clutching the opposite arm. "I-I finally made friends! I don't want to betray them!"
"There's a secret vault somewhere in Shibusen. This is work only you can do. I'll contact you later."
"But my friends—"
"But you'll do this for your mother, won't you?" Medusa inquired in a sickly-sweet tone. "You dear, dear mom, right?"
Crona stiffened slightly. "I…understand." Crona finally murmured as Medusa slithered away back in to the shadows.
Hush now precious,
I'm here.
Y'see, they don't care about you…
Like I do.
A/N: Short one-shot here for Soul Eater. I used Crona's name waaaay to much here, but to avoid the occasional dispute on Crona's gender, I didn't say 'he' or 'she' for Crona at all. Only for Medusa. I hope you enjoyed this. I don't own Soul Eater.
