So, something eerie I noticed about the last chapter. The actual amount of words in the story chapter was 1,000 exactly. Yeah, sorta freaked me out. xD
Anyway, here's chapter two.
Oh! And a disclaimer since I forgot last chapter.

Disclaimer: The original concept of this story belongs to The-Gray-Ninja, I only adopted it and am twisting it to my will. Soul Eater belongs to it's creator, and Victoria and Miranda belong to The-Gray-Ninja. Basically... I really own nothing. I'm just finishing what was started.

There, that should keep you little kiddies happy. Only time I'm posting it though.
~.^ Enjoy the story!

Chapter Two

Strange occurrences.

Victoria has an unstable soul?

Maka's POV

Watching the new kids come into class, I was more than a little surprised when I saw the girl who had just beat up Black*Star inch closer to her twin like she could hide behind her. Then Stein had spoken and my attention was on him again.

"Ah, you two have finally showed up."

One of the twins took a step forward (not the one that dealt damage to Black*Star though) and smiled at our semi-insane professor. "Yes, we've finally settled in enough to come to school," she said.

Stein nodded and reached up to turn the screw in his head, which elicited a shudder from twins from what I saw. It was a slight struggle not to laugh at how they were reacting to Professor Stein. "Class," he said, turning to us, "these two are the Daniel twins-"

"Don't call us that."

"Tori, shush, it's not that big of a deal."

I looked back their way to see that the one who had beaten up Black*Star was the first one who spoke, if her defiant stance was anything to go by. Apparently her name was Tori though, short for something else perhaps, and she wasn't happy about being labeled as a Daniel twin.

"No. We left that life behind us, and I don't want labels sticking to us here," Tori said, and I thought I saw anger molding her face into a scowl. I couldn't be sure though, I didn't know them well enough.

The other girl shook her head lightly. "Still, be respectful, he's our teacher," she said.

I caught Tori rolling her eyes and then Stein coughed to get their attention again. "Now, if you don't wish to be referred to by the title you earned during those years, then why don't you properly introduce yourselves to your class mates," he said. That earned him a glare from Tori, but a hand on her shoulder from her twin calmed her down. Her twin turned to the class and offered the rest of the class a smile.

"My name is Miranda Daniel, and I'm a meister. It's a pleasure to make the acquaintance of you all," she said, and bowed lightly. I liked her, she was polite. I noticed that her twin was silent though until Miranda elbowed her lightly.

"I'm Victoria Daniel, Miranda's twin, and her weapon. Call me Tori though," she said, and she looked like she was sulking for a moment. Probably because her sister had to force her to talk… Seeing that they were silent now, I took in the time to really look at them. Their facial structures were identical, and they both had black hair and gray eyes, yet if you looked close enough you could see the differences between them. Victoria held herself in a more slouched position, while Miranda stood straight and proper. When they were both standing straight, Victoria was taller than her twin and looked like she was the elder of the two, probably only by a few minutes though.

What else got me though was when I took a moment to look at their souls, I couldn't see Victoria's. Miranda's was there, shining bright enough with her determination lacing through it, what got me was the traces of lightning flickering through her soul every now and then. It made me curious as to what was going on with her soul, but it wasn't my place to ask. Victoria's soul though… it just flat out wasn't there from what I could see.

"You can take seats near Soul and Maka. You two, raise your hands," Stein said, and I blinked out of my thoughts and my concentration broke making the souls disappearing from view.

Soul elbowed me and I flashed him a brief glare before raising my hand, and Soul did the same while mumbling a 'so uncool' under his breath.

The twins shared a look that I couldn't decipher before coming and sitting next to us. I flashed them a brief smile, hoping that it was welcoming, before I excused myself from my seat and went to the aisle down the college-esque seating. I walked over to Professor Stein before he could continue with torturing his animal of choice today – I think it was an anaconda snake – and tapped him on the shoulder. "Professor, may I speak with you for a moment," I asked, quietly as to not to alert the rest of the class.

"What is it Maka?" he asked, adjusting his glasses and looking down at me. I felt like I was under a magnifying glass for a moment before I shoved the feeling away.

"It's a question about Victoria's soul… can you see it sir?" I inquired, fidgeting slightly under his gaze before steeling myself. Come on now, I was a three-star meister, I shouldn't be afraid of my teacher.

He blinked down at me. "Yes, I can."

"Why can't I see it?"

"Because it flickers in and out."

"Flickers…?"

"Maka, her soul is unstable, probably due to something that happened in the past that she doesn't wish to share."

"What happens when your soul is unstable?" I'd never heard of it happening before, not in any of the books I'd read, so naturally I was confused.

"Well, it differs from person to person. Anything from sinking into madness, to dying, or being just fine. No one's certain simply because it doesn't happen that much. I will admit, this is the first time I've seen an unstable soul, and it makes me all the more curious…" There was the familiar glint of madness in his eyes and I backed away with a nervous laugh.

"Right… well thank you sir, I'll just be getting back in my seat," I said. Before you decide you want to dissect a student today, I added in my head. With that, I slipped back into my seat and stared down at the professor as he started to dissect the poor snake. Didn't even kill the thing first…

I'm not sure of how much attention I paid during class, I kept spacing out during it, thinking back on what Stein had said about Victoria's soul being unstable. It was bothering me, I knew I had to do research on it. So the minute class was out, I waved a good-bye to my friends before telling Soul I was going to the library and he could just head to lunch without me. He gave me a simple "whatever" before leaving, and I collected my things to go to the library.

It was a quick trek through the crowded halls of the DWMA and then I was at the library. I walked up to the librarian and smiled politely. "I was wondering if you had any books on unstable souls?" I asked, showing him my student ID card.

"I believe we have a few Miss Albarn," he said before shuffling away to, supposedly, get the books.

I waited patiently, tucking my ID card back into my pocket. I started to watch the seconds ticking by on the clock, sighing faintly. Two minutes… five minutes… ten minutes… eleven minutes… Finally I heard the sound of shuffling feet again and the librarian came back, holding a book in his hands.

"I found one of them, the others are checked out. Here you are Miss Albarn, it's due in a month," he said, bowing politely after handing it to me. I smiled lightly and signed my name on the check out card, thanking him before leaving the counter. Now I could get answers to my questions.

Finding a secluded part of the library, I settled into a comfy chair and started to read.
