And if you think that i really could just screw the betas and go without. Review and tell me because i have had no motivation to write this at all... Its been stuck at chap one for monthes.
So to beta or not to beta?
~ooOOoo~ POV change Soul to OC or back again.
Don't own Soul Eater.
Soul stares down at Maka. How could he let this happen? He had been protecting her like he would any other day but somehow that bastard got through.
~ooOOoo~
I stare down at my hands. How could he be gone? It was one argument. It was like the rest they had but now he left me alone.
~ooOOoo~
"When will she wake up?" Soul looks to Stein. Stein can only shake his head. There is nothing that can be said. He has no idea when should could possibly wake up. There's hardly a chance she will.
~ooOOoo~
"When am I leaving?" I grind my teeth. They did not need to rub it in. I know what happened. I know what was destroyed. She holds up two fingers. Only minutes before I could step in the mirror.
~ooOOoo~
"You're getting a new partner today!" Death exclaims. It had only been two weeks. Two horrible weeks for Soul.
~ooOOoo~
"You will be receiving a weapon; don't scare this one off this time." Carl cackles.
"Shut the hell up ass hole." I glare at him. I look down at my new outfit: pink dress with purple leggings and gloves. The girly-est thing I could think of. I am starting over there. All over. New look, new outfit, new attitude.
"Touchy, eh?" Carl smirks and counts the seconds down.
"Oh, you have no idea." He pushes me through the mirror.
~ooOOoo~
This girl pops out of the mirror. A pink and purple blob, 'So uncool.' Soul thinks. Why couldn't they pick someone like Maka? Soul stares at the awkward girl. She looks up at Death. She smiles a dumb smile.
"Are you Alexandria Todd?" Death looks at her with something that looks like a curious look.
"Hehe! Yup that's me!" She says in a high pitch happy voice. Soul adverts his gaze to keep his nosebleed under control. This girl is blessed with boobs like Blair, maybe bigger Soul doesn't know, she is skinny and tall, her dress fits her in all the places, and she has the brightest green eyes.
~ooOOoo~
"Dear, you look and speak differently from when we met the first time." Death looks at me like I am crazy or something.
"I thought I should change if I'm changing homes." I smile fakely. This is how it's going to feel to be fake. It feels like death itself.
"Well, Alex…" Death starts.
"Please, call me Lexi." I say with my high voice.
"Um, Lexi then. This is your new partner Soul." Death motions to a white hair boy. A boy? I had to where this dress? He's going to have a nosebleed! He slowly looks to my face. His eyes, blood red, bore into me with soft hate. I look like his other partner. Maka was it? Yes, she had green eyes too. I watch him grin.
"I hope you have some skills and are not just a stupid airhead. That would be uncool." He shoves his hands in his pockets and looks the other way.
I make my voice serious and low, "I don't want to live with him. I want my own apartment. I don't want to take Maka's place."
I look to gauge Soul's reaction; it is not one I can read, "You can sleep in our guest room. You won't ever replace Maka." He says with venom.
I spat, "I don't feel the need."
"New rule! You must be in the same living space as your partner!" Death shouts over the sparks between our eyes.
"WHAT?" We stare at Death then at each and back to Death.
"Why can't I have my own place?"
"Yeah! Why can't she have her own place?" I scowl at Soul. This is my conversation.
"Because if you are to be meister and weapon, you have to get along," Death rolls his eyes.
"It doesn't mean we have to live together!"
"Well, I'm making you." My jaw drops open as he shoos us out of the chamber.
"You might as well follow me, no matter how uncool this is." Soul shoves his hands in his pocket and walks down the twist and turning hallways of the school. I frown but follow the guy, at a distance though. I thought the acting would be easier than this. I thought Death wouldn't care if I change. And I certainly didn't think they would put me with someone like Soul. I didn't have to live with him. I was willing to live with him but it never happened. "I hope you like stairs," I look up to see that we are already at the apartment building and he's unlocking the door to get in. "We, Maka and I, live on the third floor."
"No elevator?" I ask dumbly. I internal sigh. By the end of this I will have another me.
Already do! Why do you have to act so dumb? You could just be yourself and everything would be just peachy!
You know how peachy was back home? Not so peachy, "Why would we have an elevator? We wouldn't be able to pay for it. We don't make all that much money." Soul glares at me as he lets me in first.
OH! He's a gentlemen! Oh, la, la! I trudge up the stairs listening to Other Me rant about how amazing Soul is, "Will I get a key too?"
"Yeah," He grunts. I continue up the stairs for the remaining two flights of stairs without a word. Soul steps up to the door and looks for the right key, "I really home Blair isn't home."
"SOUL-KUN!" A naked purpled haired woman runs and Soul does a face plant into her boobs. She then proceeds to hug him and squish his face harder into her chest, "IS MAKA BACK?"
I blink a couple times then fall on my butt laughing and point. Soul flies back with a nosebleed making me laugh that much harder, "Oh! God! I love you already!" I point at the purple haired lady who now is in clothes looking at me with a small frown.
"Who is this?" She sticks a purple finger at me.
"I'm Soul's new partner. Who are you?" I look over to Soul, who is still having a nosebleed, and rolls my eyes.
"I am Blair! I'm Maka and Soul's cat!" She proceeds to turn into a purplish-black cat with glowing yellow eyes.
"Your hat is so cute!" I pet Blair and she begins to purr.
"Blair, I thought Maka told you to stop opening the door naked." Soul sits up and wipes the dirt off his pants.
She just sticks her tail high in the air and walks off, "She's so cute!"
Soul gives me a glare, "Welcome to your new home."
I twirl around in the new house like girls do in the movies. The walls are a nice soft yellow with cute white curtains around the windows. I look into the kitchen. They have stainless steel appliances and a beautiful island in the middle of it. The wall facing the living room is open and has a seating area with bar stools. The living room has a green couch and a T.V. The coffee table is littered with dirty bowls and glasses. I look down the hall and see the bedrooms. First door has Maka's name in beautiful calligraphy on it in a deep green. The next has SOUL scratched in it. The letters of SOUL are red and from their ends drip the red, making it to appear dripping blood. On the other side of the hall there is a door that says SOUL'S ROOM: DO NOT ENTER. 'Why does he have two rooms? Pig-head.' The next door is open. 'I guess this is mine.'
I step into a light blue room. I smile, "I like it." The bed is a nice size with a wonderful comforter covering it. Its black and red. I look over to the work desk, bare.
"Your suit case is at the door." Soul leans against the door frame. I turn to look at him.
"Could you get it for me?"
"No." He turns sharply and walks away. I huff. I guess he isn't that much of a gentlemen.
I walk out of the room and go to the door and see all, and I mean, all of my luggage made it. They freakin' kicked me out! "Oh, shit! Bari? Bari? Where are you!"
"Stop freaking out my God." The lazy raccoon walks around the luggage plops its butt next to me and stares at the mountain of luggage before it, "Wow, that's a lot of stuff."
I sigh and decide not to make a comment. Why I agreed to watch this enchanted raccoon, I have no idea, "Don't tell me, we have another pet?"
Soul turns his head from the T.V. to stare at Bari, "Well, I'm being paid to watch him." I smile.
"It's still uncool."
I sigh, "Are you going to help me?" I stick out my bottom lip but Bari just looks at me like I'm crazy. "Whatever."
I grab the first bag I see, bad idea since it was at the bottom of the pile, and the whole pile of stuff comes down on top of me.
~ooOOoo~
'Now, what?' Soul looks back at the pile of things to see that he doesn't see Lexi anymore. He shrugs and turns back to the T.V.
"Soul! Help, Blair! She can't find Lexi-Chan!" Blair screeches from the door way.
"Can't you do it yourself?"
"You're being…uncool." Blair smiles as she sees him shiver. "Lexi-Chan is a damsel in distress you…"
Soul rushes over and starts to take the bags, plants, and furniture off the poor girl.
"OH GOD! Thank you for saving me! I thought I was going to die! It's so dark in all her stuff. Like crazy da…" Soul shoos Bari away and continues to fish through her stuff.
Soul finds her blond hair a halo behind her and her arms pinned by her head. Her eyes are closed and you can see a goose egg forming on her forehead Blair pokes her cheek, "Is she dead?"
"No, she's just knocked out." Soul stares down at the blond. Death told him that he would find someone like Maka to be his partner but instead he got a girl that is her opposite.
"That's good because Blair got really scared. Blair likes her." Blair smiles and walks into the kitchen. "Can Blair make dinner?"
"No, I make dinner. You always make something…weird and uncool." Soul picks up Lexi. She instantly she grips his shirt.
"Don't go…" Soul stops dead in his tracks and looks down at her. "Don't be like that…"
"Like what?" Soul knows it's a bad idea to do this but he wants to know what's going on.
"You can't just leave me here! What if…DRAKE!" Lexi sits up in Soul's arms. "What are you doing?"
Soul stares wide eyed at the girl, "I…I was carrying you to the couch 'cause all your stuff fell on you and it knocked you out."
She purses her lips, "Oh, well, if you don't want…"
Soul interrupts her, "No, I'll carry you over there."
"Since when are you…I mean. Thank you." She smiles cutely.
Soul raises an eyebrow but says nothing. He places her on the couch with a blanket but takes the remote, "My house. My T.V."
"Whatever." She says in a typical blond voice. Soul doesn't see the frown on her face. The one that stays on there as they watch the news and sees the missing person. Lexi leaves quickly after that; Soul watches her go wondering what he said.
What do you think? Need a Beta or not?
