As I was jumping from roof-top to roof-top on my way to the academy I noticed a shadow behind me in the trees. I decided to ignore it, it wasn't worth my time so I kept going, didn't want to keep my new principle waiting. As I walked up the steps I noticed other kids staring at me. Maka who I had only met the day before knew why I was there and guided me to the Death Room. Which I found scary, like why would you name a room "death room".
When I walked into the Death Room I couldn't help but marvel at just how big it was. "Hiya, hi, hello, howdy, how are you Rose, Maka?"
"Great Lord Death!" replied Maka. I just stood there not saying a word. I didn't understand what kind of prank these people were trying to play on my but this guy was dressed like the Grim Reaper, just more flamboyant.
"Ok well down to business, Maka will you take Rose to find a weapon?"
"Sure Lord Death, come with me Rose." She piped as she whipped around and headed for the doors. When I didn't move she tugged on my arm until my feet started moving in the direction she wanted them to go.
When we reached the weapon shop, there was a boy by the name of Soul with his arm in a furnace. Maka saw my horrified look and laughed. Then explained that Soul was her weapon, then to show off he took his arm out of the furnace only it wasn't an arm it was a scythe blade, Maka glared at him then moved on to a wall full of pictures of different weapons.
"First we have to pick you a weapon, here are your choices." Maka yelled over all the clacking and crashing. I looked them all over twice and nothing popped out at me until I saw twin katana blades. Maka saw which one I was looking at and she yanked the picture down with one swift movement.
"I don't think you should look at this one." She scoffed as she stuffed the picture into her pocket.
"Why not, I'm already a trained assassin, and those are like the blades I had at home." I couldn't believe she was telling me that I couldn't have the weapon I was most comfortable with.
Maka sighed and pulled the picture back out. She looked at it for a while like she was trying to make up her mind about whether or not to let me pick those. "Okay, let's go talk to Lord Death about this."
As we made our way back to the Death Room, I saw two boys hanging out at the end of a hall. They stopped what they were doing to watch us pass. For some odd reason I felt like I had seen them before, but that was impossible right?
"Rose? Is that you?" asked one of them with a surprised look.
I hide behind Maka "Yes, that's me" I whispered softly. It took all my strength to not run away from them. "Who are you?"
I hear Maka groan. "Rose these two are the swords you chose. This is Peter," She pointed to the taller of the two boys, "And that's Leo. The-" She started.
"You've got to be kidding me!" My brain couldn't take much more of all these pranks.
"What?" All of them looked at me like I had grown a second head.
"I can't take this anymore, whatever sick joke you all are playing on me needs to stop, this is not funny. Peter and Leo were my best friends, and they died five years ago. So don't tell me their standing right in front of me at a school for people who can transform into weapons and others that can control them!" With that I let my emotions take over and a giant blue bubble surrounded me and pushed Maka and the boys back like a shield. "What is going on?" I thought to myself. "What is this thing around me? Why can't I hear Maka?" Just then a sense of exhaustion hit me like a brick wall and I passed out.
