Chapter 1: voices in the abyss
Maka
Maka was barely unconscious. But she heard a voice, a voice so familiar that belong to a boy. It wasn't a deep voice. His voice is actually still…cracked. But, aside from that, his voice rings a bell, a bell which seems to yell: "Recognize me damn it. It's me, Maka!" but she just couldn't put her fingers to it.
Then she heard another voice that is currently talking with the boy. This second voice is far much gentler and nonchalant, as if trying to reassure herself in attempt to not yell at the boy's constant questions. Maka was in fact in awe at the girl. The fact that she can keep up with his demands and annoying comment without raising her voice or telling him to shut the hell up was just plain amazing. If it was her, she would have unleashed her super Maka-chop right there and there.
Both were speaking in Russian, thought the girls with the mellow voice have a slight Japanese accent, but her Russian was rather fluent. Same goes with the boy, except he has an American accent instead.
Maka understand Russian and is able to read the Slavic language pretty well, if she say so herself. All thanks to her father's daily book-of-the-week he bought in a little bookstore she and her father used to go to as a child. It was like her sanctuary.
"Do you need more help Tsubaki? How's she doing now?" The boy asked, as he shakes Maka's weak body, like a gold fish in a plastic bag. She would retort, try to open her eyes and Maka-chop him but unfortunately her body seems to be paralyzed…
"Calm down! You're injuring her even more!"
"Oh calm down Tsubaki, I—"
The boy stopped when someone knocked on the door, eight times? And heard the door gently swung open, and came with it, a solemn and mature deep voice. Another boy, "You two, Meeting is in the living room. How is she?"
"She's…improving. Somewhat," she said, she chooses her words carefully, to prevent the annoying boy from hyperventilating. "But…I'll probably will take her maybe months or maybe, years for her to be completely healthy—"
She was cut off by the now hyperventilating boy, "Wait, wait, wait. You said she's improvin'!"
"Yeah…but. She's so weak, and she's—"
"She is not weak." the annoying boy defended.
"Sorry. What I mean is, her body is really weak, since they didn't exactly give her any 'edible' food. And we can't just stuff her with food…she'll die."
There was silence. Then the solemn boy spoke and break the uncomfortable silence," She's anorexic?"
He didn't sound surprise with his comment, as if expecting that this could happen.
"Yes…but…worse. The food they gave her doesn't contain any nutritious needed for her body…but I have a special remedy. I guaranteeshe'll be fine." She emphasize 'guarantee', mostly to the now silent mouthful boy.
Then the mature boy said," We'll discuss this later with everyone when you're ready…" and with that, he left. Leaving a quiet yet haste footstep behind.
Then there was more silence. Maka was so confused. Her mind was filled with questions like "who are they," and "why are they so worried about her," and most importantly," what is her connection to these people? Are they the secret police's allies, or what?"
The girl, who apparently called Tsubaki broke the silence and asked, "Are you alright?"
"NO! Fuck NO! What else have they done to try to torture her for some stupid frickin' reason! All because she's a—"
"Hush," she retort, cutting him off."What if she woke up and heard us?"
"I think Maka has all the damn right to know why and who the hell she really is, Tsubaki!"He yelled, with sympathy in his voice.
"And what good will those information do to her?"
The boy was quiet. Defeated. Not knowing what else to say. He never really thought of the outcome of his decision. This is why he's so glad he has Tsubaki to help him in times of need like these. Who knows what the boy could have done if it wasn't for Tsubaki who gave her the proper clothes, medicine and those words to keep him semi stable after seeing Maka looked so pale and unconscious.
The silence was longer than he intended, so Tsubaki took it as a chance to add to her statement, "I know it's not fair to hide the truth from her. It's not fair. But it's not our job to tell her."
The boy still didn't utter a single word. He then shrugs it off, understanding Tsubaki's words and said, "Whatever. Let's go, Kid and them's probably already waitin' too long for us."
And with that, they left the seemingly conscious Maka.'So many questions...' she thought. But her brain is hazy. So she decided to give herself another hour of rest, it would hurt right? Especially since the nice comfy futon seems to welcome her. She closed her eyes. Which ended up being five months of coma.
Question? Comments?
