AN: Ok, here is the next chapter. Oh, and if it confused anyone the story is in Maka's POV unless I say otherwise. So enjoy, and don't forget to review! They let me know people are reading my story!
Disclaimer: I know these are annoying, but I don't want to get in trouble. I don't own Soul Eater; I only own the character Phoenix. So…yeah.
Phoenix's POV! (Just for fun)
My eyes flutter open to the tan, pale ceiling of the house. I look around, and notice that I am now on a bed, instead of on the polka-dotted couch where I originally fell asleep last night. I stretch, my hands against the painstakingly carved, wooden back board, and my tiny little toes almost reach the end of the bed. Sometimes my tallness sucks. I rub my eyes, and gently place my feet on the cold, polished wood of the unfamiliar room. "Morning sunshine." Says the blue haired buy, surprisingly being quite. "Good morning to you too. How did you sleep? I hope I wasn't a burden." He smiles, and walks over to the bed, flopping on his back next to me. "Shouldn't I be asking you, the guest, how you slept? And you weren't a burden. It's nice having company for once!" I giggle a little, looking at the boys eyes. "Is it ok if I practice my morning wake up magic? It kind of gets my magic levels to balance and helps it wake up." He grins. "SURE! I'VE NEVER SEEN GOOD MAGIC!" I smile at the boy finally being loud. I hold out my hand, and close my eyes. "Rosa Caerulea." I chant, over and over. I can feel the usual tickle of the powers in my hand, and start to feel it growing stronger and stronger. Finally after two minutes, the tickling stops, and the blue rose I summoned gentle floats down into the palm of my hands. Its petals are fully bloomed, and spread out beautifully. There are no thorns, and the stem is a perfect shade of forest green. "Wow! That's incredible! What were you chanting?" I smile and hand him the rose while saying, "It's Latin for Blue Rose. Here, it's for you." He smile and takes it gently. "WOW THANKS! THIS IS SO COOL! I'M GOING TO GO SHOW TSUBAKI! COME ON BREAKFAST IS ALMOST READY!" He yells, running out the door in the process. I laugh. He is insane. I walk down the hall, admiring the painting hung up. Such taste in art they have. I walk into the kitchen, and a wonderful smell hits my nose. "Mmm!" I say, looking over to…Tsubaki? Yeah that sounds right. "Good! You're awake! Breakfast is almost ready! We better hurry, school starts in an hour!" I smile, and grab a plate. Everyone is so nice!
Time Skip to School
Maka's POV
I walk into to Professor Stein's class room, and see not a lot of people here. Not surprising, considering I like to get here early. Then I spot Tsubaki, Black Star, and Phoenix talking. I walk up to them, dreading to see Phoenix, but wanting to talk to someone. "Hey Tsubaki! Hey Black Star!" I wave to both of them smiling. I turn to Phoenix, a scowl forming on my face. I cross my arms and spit out, "Phoenix." Her smile that was originally there vanished, and her hand that was going to wave to me dropped to her lap. For the rest of the time that Tsubaki, Black Star and I talked, she sat there quietly, looking in her lap fiddling with her fingers. The bell rang, and I took my seat next to wear Soul usually sits. "Soul is late…again. As usual." I think. Soul burst through the door, out of breath, and runs to his seat, throwing his backpack down next to him. Professor Stein walks in, emotionless face as usual. "You were late again Soul." Soul groans, slumping in his chair. "Ok. Today we will dissect a phoenix. Ok?" Everyone except Phoenix nods their head. She just goes pale. "What's wrong?" I hear Tsubaki ask Phoenix. I turn around, and Phoenix sits there, as white as a ghost, and whispers, "That's my animal transformation." I scrunch my face in confusion. "What?" I whisper. "All witches transform into some living thing." I roll my eyes. "Yes, I know that." "Well, a phoenix is my transformation animal. Hence my name 'Phoenix." I turn back to the front of the class, where in a cage sits a phoenix. I hear a shuffling behind me, and turn round to see Black Star standing up. "Professor Stein?" Stein stops writing about the phoenix on the board, and turns around. "Yes Black Star?" "Phoenix doesn't feel comfortable watching you dissect her witch transformation animal." Black Star says, pointing at Phoenix. "Ah yes. Phoenix. The new student here at the academy. Class, I'd like you to meet the new student. Her name is Phoenix as you might have heard. You also might have heard she's a witch." Murmurs fill the class room, as students look at her. Her face goes crimson, and she slides down in her seat a little. "Phoenix, would you like to come up to the front of the class and show us your transformation phoenix?" The murmurs stop, and all eyes lock on Phoenix. "I-I guess." She slowly stands up and makes her way to the front of the room. Stein goes and sits down in a desk on the front row. "So you're a healing witch I hear?" She nods, only looking at the professor. "Hmm. Interesting. Well go ahead and show us you transformation." She nods, and closes her eyes and says, "Phoenice ortum est in me virtus mea, et veniat in me ducere dies et qui quaerit animam meam fac!" She starts to glow, and her feet start to hover off the ground. Her arms, which lay at her sides, now start to lift up, and beautiful red, golden and orange feathers start to bloom. Her mouth grows into a gold beak, and her head turns golden orange. Her legs and feet shrink into golden bird legs and sharp black talons. Once her arms reach over her head, the transformation is complete. She now down to professor Stein's hip, but she is still perfect. Bitch. "Even in animal form you are beautiful." Says Stein, making her blush. "I didn't know birds could blush." He says, now picking her up on his arm. Even with talons that look as sharp as razor blades, she manages to not even cause a scratch on his arm. "Well only witch versions can blush and talk." She says. "Ok, class is almost over, you might want to change back." She nods. "Can I make one circle around the room first?" Stein smiles and shrugs. She takes off with one flap and glides swiftly around the room. Even as gentle as that one flap was, it still sent everyone's papers sprawling everywhere. I'd hate to see her use one of those flaps full power against an enemy. She gently lands back in front of the class, transforming back into her perfect ass self. "So what exactly were you saying before you transformed?" She smiles a toothy grin and says, "I Said 'By the power in me, let my Phoenix rise, let it guide me to he, who seeks to make sure my soul dies.' It was Latin." Professor smiles. "Class dismissed." He says, and everyone scrambles out except the group. "That was amazing!" Says Tsubaki. "HOW DO YOU DO SOMETHING SO AWESOME?! THAT WAS AWESOME!" Yells Black Star. "That was pretty sweet." Says Soul, angering me. "Wasn't that cool Maka?" Asks Tsubaki. I cross my arms, and start to walk out the class room door. "Yeah sure whatever." I'm just about the turn the corner, when I turn around to see Phoenix's reaction. She has a hurt look on, and she mumbles something about taking a walk. I turn the corner and smirk. Good I think know she knows not to mess with me. I keep walking until I reach my house. I walk in, plop down on the couch, and start studying the book, 'History of Death City, 'until I fall asleep.
Phoenix's POV
Maka turns the corner, and I mumbling just loud enough so they can hear me, "I'm going to go take a walk." I walk down the hall, opposite of where Maka was heading, and open the academy doors. I walk around town looking at all the kids playing soccer, having so much fun. Laughing, playfully pushing each other and yelling score when it went in the goal. I smile to myself, put my hands in my jacket pockets, and keep walking. I reach a park, not many people inhabit it right now, and so I walk to a nearby bench and sit. I sit there for who knows how long, watching the sun trying not to fall asleep in the sky. I laugh at it, and then stop abruptly. A weird sensation over comes me, and I feel my eyes turning white. "No! Not again! I thought the memories and flash backs had ended!" I wrap my fingers around my head, and put my knees to my chest, hoping the memories might stop. But they don't. The park fades away, and the flashback fades in.
Flash Back
"Come Phoenix! I have someone for you to meet!" The dreaded witch's voice says, echoing down the empty halls of the cave. "Yes ma'am." I call back. My dirt, bare feet slap against the moist floor of the cave, each footstep creating an eerie echo. I see her, and walk up to her, careful not to look her in the eye. The last time I did, I got another cut on my back. "Phoenix, I'd like you to meet Mrs. Williams. She is human." She shoves the tied up Mrs. Williams at me. "Now kill her." I look down at the woman, her big brown eyes begging, pleading me not to. I hang my head; close my eyes and whisper, "I can't." I hear movement and hear her witch voice in my ear say, "Speak up child. You know I can't hear mumbling." Anger fills me from head to toe, but I don't dare let it out. "I said," I say, almost at a yell, "I can't." I hear her tisking and chuckling. "That's too bad now isn't it? Oh well." She holds Mrs. Williams up and summons a vector arrow. "More juicy souls for me, and more cuts for you." Her vector arrow pierces through Mrs. Williams's heart, and blood squirts everywhere, even on me. She turns around and summons a knife. She turns me around, rips my shirt up, and adds another cut to the 128 I already have. "I'm only doing this for your own good." She says. I hate Medusa.
Flash Back Over
I gasp, ripping out of that daytime nightmare. I feel my eyes go back to normal, and see the moon is already up 1/3 of the way in the sky. I look at the clock in the park and it reads 1:28. "Shit." I mumble. The flashbacks do usually take a long time, but normally not this long. I stand up and start to run out of the park towards Tsubaki and Black Star's house, when I hear a familiar voice whisper, "Soon. You'll be mine again soon," followed by her laughter. "Medusa." I think. I started running as fast as I could, trying to out run her voice. My vision blurred, and my head filled with the sound of Medusa's laughter, canceling out all thoughts. "Phoenix!" I hear, just barley though. Medusa's laughter in my ears is to strong. Again I hear my name. I know that voice anywhere. "Soul?" I yell back, trying to concentrate over the laughter. "Phoenix! Where are you?" My legs give out from under me, and I fall to my knees. "Over…here…" I yell, my vision blackening around the edges. I clamp my hands over my ears, the laughter getting unbearably loud. Tears roll down my face, I let out a sob, and start to tremble. "Get…out…of…my…head!" I yell, putting my knees to my chest. "Phoenix!" I raise my head just enough to see Soul running towards me. "Guys! I found her!" He yells. But to me his yell is as quiet as a whisper. My vision gets spotty, and I shake even worse. "Phoenix what's wrong?" Says Soul, cupping both hands around my face and tilting my face up, forcing me to look into his eyes. "What's…wrong?!" He says again, concern and fear filling his eyes. The laughter gets worse, and tears start rolling down my cheeks faster. "She's back!" I sob. "I can hear her laughter!" Soul looks confused. "Who's laughter? I don't see anyone around or hear any laughter." Soul's face gets blurry, and black spots cloud my vision. "It's…It's…" I see the group running towards us, they are blurry too. "Who Phoenix?! Whose laughter do you hear?!" The group now gathers around us. "M-m…Medusa's" I collapse into darkness
BUM…BUM…FREAKING…BUM! I'm so evil! But don't worry, the next chapter will be up sometime this week, if not then next weekend. Sorry but I've got a pretty busy schedule so during the week is kind of hard for me. So anyway don't forget to review! Oh and how do you guys like that little plot twist with Phoenix and Medusa? Trust me; I'll better explain the whole situation of Phoenix with Medusa in either next chapter or one of the ones after that. BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE!
