"Return. Return! RETURN!" I'm trying all I can to retrieve this. I tried walking with it but it made too much noise dragging on the ground. I was starting to think I would never be able to retrieve my arm, which SOMEHOW became a ball and chain! Like, seriously! How did this happen? Soul Eater is fake! Impossible! Imaginary! Ergo, UNABLE TO EVER REALLY HAPPEN! I gotta calm down. I softly think to myself, Return, and my arm does simply that. Ok, that's how I fix this if it happens again.
HOOOOOOOONK! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK! I look at the parking lot. My parents are here, just in time too. Did they see my weapon arm? Hopefully not. I run over to the car, relieved that this is all over. For now… this is bound to happen again. What will I do?
I'm going to run away. That's what I'll do. Once I get home I'll write a letter to my parents and pack up my stuff then run away! Is it rational? I don't think so.
Or maybe I can tell my parents I'm going to a boarding school, pack up my stuff then go. But then they'll expect me to come home eventually.
Or maybe… Maybe I just tell them the truth… It can't hurt, right? Right?...
What the hell do I do? What the flying fuck am I supposed to do in this situation?! Think Haiden! Just do what your heart tells you!
"Haiden, you listening?
I look up. "No sorry mom, what'd you say? I was dozing out."
She sighed. "I said, how's our boo doing after his first field trip in high school?"
I smile. She's been using male pronouns much more lately. I'm so glad she accepted me as transgender. Unlike other parents do. "I'm doing okay, just a little bit tired."
"That's good, glad to see you've been feeling better."
"Uh mom, I kinda got attacked while I was waiting for you."
"Oh babe are you okay?"
"Yeah! I'm fine! Something scared them away I guess…"
A higher pitched booming voice suddenly comes out of nowhere. "Something you don't know? I think you know perfectly well what happened." Our front mirror starts to fog up. My mom swerves until she finally pulls over. A shape starts to appear in the fog. It's Lord Death! "Hello Patsy, Haiden, it's great to finally see you two!" We are both too in shock to speak. "No words huh. I tend to do that to people. Anyways Patsy, Haiden is a weapon, meaning he can turn into a weapon fitting his personality. From what I saw, he's a ball and chain. I'm not sure why seeing as I haven't seen much of him except for the skill he showed when he was about to be killed by those thugs."
That's when I spoke up as my mom gave me an evil glare. "That wasn't skill, that was luck."
"Not many people can hide their weapon form just like that their first time. You have to understand that's very impressive. Pack up your things tonight, tomorrow you're heading off to the Death Weapon-Meister Academy!"
