Do you believe in fairy tales?
I sat there starring at the cup of tea in my lap pinching myself continuously trying to wake myself up to see if this was a dream, but all I got was lots of little scratches up my arm.
"Is everything okay?" Kid smiled placing his hand on my lap.
I looked up at him and let a small smile approach my lips "I'm fine"
I looked back down at my tea and suddenly I had a flash back in my mind. A girl, she looked like me, she was wearing a long white dress, possibly a wedding dress. She had a golden ring on her finger, it looked a lot like the one I had at home, but I could never remember where I got it from, she stood on a balcony with a young boy standing by her side, he looked a lot like Kid, it was Kid. He had a ring on his finger too…
"Maka…?"
I looked up at him again and then down at his hand, I noticed the golden ring on his finger my eyes widened.
He looked at me with hope in his eyes that I might remember who he is "You remember?"
"I-I…" I hesitated "I…"
His expression saddened once again and stroked the rim of the ring.
"I have to go" I stood up to leave but I felt his hand in mine pulling me back down.
"You can't!" He blurted out "I mean. I've spent years looking for you Maka, please you can't leave"
I saw the tears form in the corner of his eyes so I sat back down slowly, I kept my hand interacted with his, I didn't wanna pull it away just yet.
"I remember…" I said in despair.
Kid quickly turned his gaze on me again and widened his eyes and looked at me with hope.
"I remember standing on a balcony, wearing a white dress, I…"
He placed his hand inside his pocket and pulled out his wallet and opened it up, on the inside was a photo of me and him, I was wearing the same white dress as my flashback, we were standing on the same balcony and had the same rings on our fingers. Kid had his arm wrapped around my waist and his lips were pressed against my cheek.
"Were…" I stuttered.
"Yes" A voice said from the other end of the table "You're married"
I turned my gaze on the little white table at the other end of the table "Why don't I remember any of this?"
They stayed silent and starred down at their cups if tea in their hands.
The silence was broken by the blue rabbit laughing in hysterics once again "Because your dad is gay!"
I starred at him with a confused expression my face "What…?"
Liz sipping her tea trying to hide the grin that had spread across her face "Let's just say that, your dad didn't like us so…"
They starred at each other for a moment of silence, their eyes full of sorrow and despair.
"So…?" I questioned getting impatient.
"So he erased your memory" Kid finally said, he looked sadder than ever.
I slouched back in my chair and sighed "Oh…"
The blue rabbit continued to laugh and fell back on his chair landing on the floor "Woops!"
"Black*star, shut up!" Kid snapped throwing his cup at the little blue rabbit.
The cup smashed against his head causing him to shut up and lie unconscious on the ground. The forest filled with silence as we sat there not knowing what to say.
"You…" Kid broke the tension.
I looked up at him hoping he'll say something useful.
"Do you…" He tried to get out the words and fight back the tears at the same time "Do you remember anything else?"
I shook my head slowly "No"
He looked back at the cup in his hands and ran his finger around the rim on the top "Okay"
"If I could I would" I said sadly placing my hand on his lap to comfort him.
He sniffed and smiled at me with teary eyes "I know, we'll help you remember"
"Incoming!" Blair hollered running through the bush "Arachnophobia's coming!"
"Oh my god!" Liz panicked "Maka you need to hide!"
"Ha-ha! Arachnophobia's coming!" Black*star got up off of the ground and started to laugh once again.
"Who's Arachnophobia?" I asked starting to get worried.
Kid stood up and pulled me up with him "They…" he stuttered "Your dad use to work for them"
I jerked my hand away "What do they want from us?"
He started to panic when he tried to grab my hand again but I wouldn't let him "Please you have to come with me!"
"Where's The Mad Reaper?" A sharp and unfriendly voice said from behind the bushes.
"Okay" I sighed holding out my hand towards Kid.
He sighed with relief before taking my hand and pulling me through the forest. We ran through trees and thorn bushes, I didn't know where we were going all I knew was that I had to follow Kid.
A dark knight with a bolt sticking through is head walked out from behind the bushes showing himself to Blair and the others.
"Where is The Mad Reaper?" He asked.
"K-Knight Stein" Liz stuttered "I'm afraid you've just missed him"
"Where has he gone?" Stein asked harshly "I have some business to speak about with him"
"I'm sorry sir but his not here" Patty asked trying to hide the smile off of her face "Can I take a message?"
Stein's expression changed even angrier and he took a step closer to Patty and picked her up by her throat pulling her off of the ground "You tell that little brat, that his so called 'love of his life' Maka is back!"
"O-Okay…" Patty choked "I-I can't… breathe…"
He released his grip from Patty's throat dropping her to the ground "And when I find her, I will kill her"
Liz ran to Patty's side and placed her hand on the red mark around her neck "Patty are you okay?"
"I'm fine" Patty huffed between breaths.
Stein turned around and began to walk back through the bushes "See to it that he gets my message"
When he was gone there was complete and utter silence, but that silence was soon broken from the hyper and laughing rabbit.
Black*star fell back off of his chair once again "Whoa! His angry, woop-di-do!"
"Where are we going?" I called running along behind Kid.
Kid stayed silent leading the way through the dark forest that I swear I'd seen before but couldn't quite place.
"Kid!" I snapped stopping in my tracks "Tell me what's going on or I won't come with you!"
Kid stopped running and span around to face me "They want to kill you Maka!"
I widened my eyes taking a step backwards "W-what…? Why?"
He walked closer to me trying to take my hand once again "Because of some certain stuff that happened in the past that will possible happen again if you reveal yourself to them!"
I jerked my hand away "What stuff?"
"Maka we don't have time!" Kid moaned "Please I'll explain once I get you out of here!"
"No!" I yelled "You'll explain now!"
Kid let out a long sigh and fell to the floor "Okay. It all happened ten years ago"
Beginning of flashback –
"Knight Stein!" Patty ran over to the Knight bowing before him "We have found you a divine young Princess to stand by your side to take the throne"
"Excellent!" Stein pushed his glasses back up on his eyes "May I see her?"
"Well she's still getting ready at the moment Knight Stein" Liz said bowing her head "But as soon as she's finished I will send her to you"
"Okay" Stein nodded in agreement "What is her Name?"
"Maka Albarn" Liz blurted out as if he would kill her if she didn't "Sir"
"Maka…" He repeated as if admiring her name "Make sure she's not late for the royal gala" And with that he turned around and walked away.
"Yes you're honor!" Patty and Liz said in perfect unison saluting the Knight as he walked away.
A young boy was running through the woods as if running from something, possible someone. He continued to run until he came to a back door of a small shed like house, without hesitating he opened the door and ran inside hurriedly slamming the door behind him. He walked into the room properly and sitting in front of him was a beautiful emerald eyed ash blonde haired girl, she starred back at his reflection in the mirror, her eyes wide and not scared in anyway possible.
"I'm so sorry!" The boy exclaimed apologizing begging on the ground "Please I beg for your forgiveness!"
The girl spun around on her chair and giggled "Get up you look silly"
"What?" He looked up at the emerald eyed beauty with a confused look on his face "You mean you don't care that I just barged in here on your personal privacy?"
She looked around the room as if she was checking to make sure no one else was there "No"
He stood up to face her with a smile on his face "What's your name?"
She stood up and brushed herself off holding out her hand "My name is Maka, what's yours?"
He shook her hand gracefully "I'm The Mad Reaper but please, call me Death the Kid, Kid for short"
"Nice to meet you Kid" Maka giggled once again slowly pulling her hand away "Say, what was you running from anyway?"
"Arachnophobia's guards" Kid shrugged.
"Open up we know you're in there!" The door banged and shook rapidly as the soldiers tried to get in "Death the Kid!"
"Crap!" Kid exclaimed quiet enough though so they guards couldn't hear "They found me!"
"Is that bad…?" Maka placed a finger to her lips and tilted her head sideways "I'll help you"
Kid ran to the other side of the door while Maka walked over to it and opened it.
"Hello" She smiled "Can I help you with anything?"
"Oh Ms. Albarn!" One of the soldiers exclaimed bowing before her "Were very sorry to intrude"
"That's quite alright" Maka giggled "What did you need"
A very serious guard stepped forward in front of the others "Have you seen any trespassers pass by here have you?" He took another step forward trying to step into the room but Maka pushed him back.
"Nope! No one around here just me!"
"I'm sorry Ms. Albarn" The guard said now with a harsh tone in his voice "Were going to have a look"
"No, you're invading my personal privacy!" She continued to force him back out the door.
The guard grabbed hold of her wrist and forced her backwards into the room "Excuse me Miss!"
Kid stepped back behind the door so he couldn't be seen but it was enough so he could see what was going on.
"You're hurting me!" Maka squealed "Let go!"
"Tell me where he is!" The guard yelled "I know his here!"
Maka's expression completely changed from an afraid little girl to a mischievous evil smirk "I said let go"
The guard widened his eyes at the girls changed expression "What you gonna do about it?"
Her smirk grew wider, she threw her arm back throwing the guard to the ground.
The guard stood back up again and ran towards her "How dare you!"
"Shut the fuck up!" She placed her hand around his neck and threw him across the room.
"Get her!" Another one of the guards yelled.
Kid grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her through the front door "Come on!"
She tried to pull her hand away at first but when she saw the guards running towards them, she accepted and run out of the little house with him. They ran through the dark forest, the only thing that gave them light was from the moon shinning down on them and the lights coming from the party on the other side of the forest.
"Where are we going!" Maka yelled trying to push the bushes out of the way when she got through.
"Anywhere but here!" Kid yelled back pulling her through the forest "Come on hurry!"
They continued to run until they couldn't run any longer, they sat down under a tree and decided to rest.
"Why did you do that?" Kid asked sitting by Maka's side.
"He hurt me" Maka replied holding her wrist leaning up against the tree "And plus he would've taken you away"
She turned her head and starred into his golden eyes and he starred back into hers.
"I forgot to ask you, why are you here?" Kid asked trying to change the subject.
Maka let out a long sigh and turned her head back to face the rest of the forest "I'm suppose to be marrying Knight Stein, if his really as charming as everyone says he is"
Kid let out a soft chuckle "Trust me his not"
Maka giggled and turned her head back around to see Kid starring at her "What…?"
"Nothing" Kid pulled his legs up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them.
"Come on what is it?" Maka asked moving closer to him "Do I have something on my face?"
"No" He chuckled.
"Something in my eye?"
"No"
"My hair…?" Maka continued "It's my hair isn't it?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with your hair" He placed his hand on his forehead "Your hairs…"
"My hairs what?" Maka smiled.
Kid stayed silent trying to avoid the concept.
"Come on Kid you can tell me"
Kid moved quickly towards her and pushed her to the ground lying on top of her, he smashed his lips against hers, they held the kiss for quite some time before parting grasping for air.
"Beautiful" Kid said between breaths "I think your hair is beautiful"
Maka giggled underneath him and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him in closer for another kiss.
"She what!" Stein shouted his face turning red from anger.
"She ran away with The Mad Reaper, sir" Patty said trembling"
Stein span around smacking his head against his forehead "Well what are you doing here, go find them!"
"Yes sir!" Liz saluted before running off with Patty.
"How stupid can she get?" Stein exclaimed "When they get her back, I swear to god!"
End of flashback –
I looked down at Kid sitting on the floor "Oh…"
Kid stayed silent "Now he wants to kill both of us"
