002
That pair of crimson eyes...
Glowing menacingly in the dark.
Staring at me.
Is it a zombie? Is it a wolf?
Is it going to come and bite me? Kill me?
The bush moves and shakes.
Meanwhile, I am frozen.
Should I begin to move? Scream?
But I am still waiting for someone.
Where are you, Soul Eater Evans?
Are you going to leave me here?
The bush moves and shakes once again.
And out comes a figure of a human.
A zombie? Someone I know?
"Soul?" I ask.
"Maka."
That voice somehow sends shivers to my body.
I sigh, relieved.
"Where have you been? I was worried!"
"Doesn't matter..." Soul says slowly.
"What's wrong?"
I walk to him and ask a question once again, "Did something happen?"
Soul grimaces. "They were too many."
I hate how he looks like that, with a defeated expression.
I realize I prefer the way he smirks like he was a totally cool guy.
"Maka, we have to run," Soul says in a low voice.
He breathes and stares at my eyes.
"No... You have to run."
What?
"Too late... I'm sorry."
Suddenly, I cannot breathe.
He has his teeth on my neck.
Those once playful eyes... They're now black.
I never believed in vampires.
What had just happened?
No.
He's a zombie.
