Maka got out of the van she drove with her father in. She gazed at the house that lay at the bottom of the staircase. The staircase led from the road all the way down into her yard. Not to mention they live in the middle of nowhere, though it's in the forest right next to the city, Death City.
Her mother died in a fatal accident with another car. All she had left was her cat, Yuki (a white she-cat with blue eyes) and her father, Spirit. "Ah, nothing like home right?" He sighed happily before opening the trunk to reveal a bunch of boxes. It all just barely fit in Spirit's small van.
"Yes, I know. I've had enough with traveling." Maka sighed, just not happily like Spirit. "Will we stay in this one?" Spirit's happy expression changed from happy, to wearily. "If they don't find us. If they do, we have to move to another town." He said darkly, before grabbing the heaviest box and hauling it down the long staircase
By "they", Spirit means the government, police, and all of them. Maka is part werewolf. It is said, that every other generation will have the curse, of being part wolf in the Albarn family. Maka has had to change her last name so they don't suspect her.
Maka happens to be that every other generation. Her grandfather, Jay, had to give her proper training. Some people doubt his training though, because he was a killer, not a friend. Maka believed in her grandfather, even when others didn't.
Then, one day, Jay died of heart attack. Killers had to be eliminated, forever, but sadly they can come back to life within a couple years. The only way to get rid of their blood thirsty self, was to chop their head off. Maka was the one chosen to cut it off.
They got her drunk with Vodka so she wouldn't hesitate to kill him. Spirit was pained to see his daughter killing one of the people she trusted and cared for. She yowled and without hesitation chopped his head off. You could hear the crunch of snapping bone and blood leaked from where his head was chopped and where his head was.
Spirit still had nightmares of that day, but they couldn't tell Maka. She would be very devastated to hear that she killed the one she loved.
Maka and Spirit shook their heads with the different outcomes going through their minds and continued carrying boxes.
"Well, that's everything." Spirit huffed and wiped sweat from his forehead. They had left some stuff, like their food and relaxation stuff, outside their home since they couldn't fit everything inside the small home and since they were in the middle of nowhere.
"Thank god, I thought we would never stop." Maka plopped onto one of the chairs outside. "Come on honey, it wasn't that bad. Your welcome to the food and beer (1) in the fridge." Spirit waved his hand before going inside. Maka got up and opened the fridge to see fruits, veggies, beer, and meat.
She licked her lips hungrily before grabbing some raw beef and a beer. She popped the beer open and gave a large drink, then bit into the fresh, bloody meat. The flavor of it seasoned her taste buds and she took another bite.
She wasn't drunk when she finished her meal, it took a lot more than that to get her drunk. Maka noticed the sun was setting and got up from the chair, and went inside her house.
There was only one room, so Maka volunteered to sleep on the couch. Spirit didn't object because the couch was always Maka's favorite spot to sleep. If she had nightmares, she wouldn't go to her parents, she'd sleep on the couch.
Spirit was already in his room so Maka turned the lamp on and lay down on the couch. She stood awake for a little bit before drifting off into a deep sleep.
Maka saw fire inside a lamp like thing (Forgot what they're called). The things they do when someone dies, and you light them up to wish them luck on their journey. At least, here in Death City they do that. Maka saw them fly into the air for a little bit longer before sunshine crowded her vision.
Maka opened slowly sat up and rubbed her eye. That was an awkward dream. She thought. She stretched until she started shaking and stopped, then cracked her back. Maka almost jumped when she saw Spirit in the kitchen. "I'm makin bacon! Want some?" He asked.
Without hesitation, Maka shook her head vigorously with gleaming green eyes. Spirit laughed and said, "Alright, alright, don't get too excited. Now why don't you go and get dressed. You have to sign yourself up for school and get some stuff for the house." Spirit shooed her away as she laughed.
She put on a green t-shirt that said "I 3 Wolves!" and a pair of blue jeans. She put on her black and white boots and white gloves with a matching white sweatshirt. She didn't put any makeup on since she was too lazy to today. She looked at herself with a smile before exiting her fathers room. He decided to keep her stuff in there.
"I made some eggs and an orange to go with it too." Spirit said and handed her a plate. "Yum..." She muttered before taking a big bite of eggs. She had barely eaten yesterday and she was starving!
She finished in another 15 minutes before washing her plate, and getting ready to leave. "Don't forget to get the groceries and no eating raw meat at the store!" Maka rolled her eyes at her fathers last comment. "I know papa, by!" She called before walking up the steps, leading out of the woods, when she saw a house.
It looked to be a mansion out in the distance, away from the trees. She eyed it curiously before running back up the steps.
She ran out of the forest and into modern society, panting. Luckily, it was a cold day so she didn't have to worry about anything. She noticed, as she walked by, that people were talking to each other with sad eyes. Some were even crying, tears flowing freely from adults and teens.
(Maka P.O.V.)
"Um, excuse me sir, what's everybody crying about?" I asked a teen about my age. He turned around and looked me over. "Haven't you heard what happened? The whole town knows." He asked, his voice didn't sound rude, but it didn't sound kind either.
"I'm from the forest right next to town, and we just moved here. I love near a mansion." I said to him, completely forgetting that I wasn't supposed to give my location away. "Oh! Your the new neighbor huh? Well, a girl was murdered last night. People believe it was an animal that mauled her." The guy said.
"That's terrible! Wait, did you say neighbor?" I asked, looking him over to see if he could have lived there.
He was wearing a black suit with symmetrical white squares on either side of his shoulder and five going down the middle. He had black dress pants and skull rings on his middle fingers with a skull tie to finish it off. He had mischievous golden eyes and three white stripes on the left side on his head. He stood out against the towns people, that's for sure.
"Yes, I live in that mansion with my father, Lord Death. I heard that someone had moved in that house. My name is Death The Kid, or Kid for short, what's yours?" He asked politely, any hostility gone now. I smiled at him. "I'm Maka Shizuka." At least I had remembered to change my last name until I could trust this boy.
"Nice to meet you Maka, but I have to go to the store over there." He pointed to a liquor store. "You drink?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow. He didn't look like the drinking type. "Yeah, I do." He said rather embarrassed. "My whole family does really, we grew up with it since our parents are alcoholics." Kid explained. I nodded.
"That would do it. I have to go get groceries, and I have to sign up for school. Maybe Ill see ya around?" I said with another smile. He smiled back. "Yes, maybe. Ja ne Maka." He said and walked off with his hands in his pocket.
"He sure is mysterious... Get back on track Maka!" I mentally scolded myself before running off to the grocery store.
When I had finished getting everything, I saw papa walking around in town too. "Hey papa! What are you doing out here?" I asked him with the tilt to my head. "I was just trying to get a job. I just finished trying to get one. Stein's technology business, sounds nice doesn't it?" He asked. I could tell he was thinking of all the money he could get paid.
"That's nice, but could you perhaps carry the groceries home? I still have to sign up for school." My father sighed. "You couldn't have signed up first? Ok, give 'em to me." I handed him the four bags of groceries with a grateful look before running towards the school. This was my workout.
I took a moment to catch my breath before walking into the school. "School is in session, if you need to take someone out you must sign in as a visitor." The office person said expertly without looking up from her computer. "Oh, no that's not what I'm here for." She looked up with a raised eyebrow.
"Then... What may I help you with?" She asked. "I want to register for the school here. Do you know how I can do that?" I asked her, trying my best not to seem rude.
"Yes, you can do it here." And with that, Maka registered herself for the school.
"You finally finished Maka? Always a slow one aren't ya?" Spirit asked teasingly. I rolled my eyes again. "Thanks for the compliment papa. Anyways, I'm going to eat something and take a nap." I told him while giving him the school papers.
"Alright. Have a nice nap." He said after looking the papers over. Spirit's blue eys traveled along the wall until he spotted an agenda. "I knew we had one." He muttered before searching the house for other stuff we may need before going shopping.
When I finished eating my meat again, I deposited the bones and layed down on the hammock. My eyes slowly drifted closed, letting blackness take hold of my vision.
Sorry if it's not good, but it's late here and I'm too tired to edit :P So, I got this whole story plot from the TV show Hemlock Grove, so I don't own the plot, only some changes I made.
1) Maka and Kid are 18 in this story and they drink and smoke in Hemlock Grove so might as well. They won't be smoking though.
Review and tell me what you think! This will be a continuing story, no one-shot.
