Chapter Two

Speedy Alexis

"So, how come you wanna join the D.W.M.A?" Maka asks curiously.

"Well, as I said, my father was a weapon, and my mother his meister. I just wanna follow in their footsteps." I reply.

"What do you mean 'was' a weapon? Where are your parents? Couldn't you have asked them?" She ask

"I was going to, but my mother was killed in one of the fights against Arachnae, and my father was taken over by the Kishin's madness. He was crazy till death." I sigh.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know." She says apologetically, "I guess I can relate some. My parents are alive, but my friend, Dr. Stein, was taken over by the madness, and my mother, well, it's like she's dead. She left, but sent me postcards from every new place she went. Lately, I haven't gotten anything from her."

We continue to walk on in silence until Soul says, "Yo, are you a weapon, or a meister?"

This stops me in my tracks, "Hmm." I hum, placing a finger to my chin, "I don't know, actually. I could be either since I had meister and weapon parents, but I haven't had any signs of being a weapon." I continue with a shrug. I continue walking with Maka as Soul trailed in the back.

"Well, it's gonna be great to have another meister at D.W.M.A!" Maka says, trying to break the awkward silence that had enveloped us. We reached the base of the steps that led up to the Death Weapon Meister Academy.

"Hey, race ya." I smirk at Soul and reach into my pocket.

He snorts and replies, "Don't cry when I beat you."

"Whatever. Ready, set," I say as I get into position, "Go!"

We both go sprinting up the steps, but he was getting a lead on me, "Well, guess it's time for my lucky pendant, or 'my secret weapon'!" I laugh to myself, then pull a small, black cat pendant from my pocket, and bring it to my lips.

I peck the pendant lightly, and the sapphire eyes almost seem to glow dimly. I pick up a sudden burst of speed and energy, and dart up the steps, quickly catching up to Soul and passing him.

I look over my shoulder and salute him, then look back in front of me.

"You! I don't know you! Just know that I AM GOD! Mwahahaha!" Some annoying blue-green haired boy was standing in the middle of my path, pointing at me.

I leap up in the air and flip over him, landing on my feet behind him. I dart off again, breathing out a sigh, "Dang it, I didn't want them to see that." I mutter.
