The only thing I have to say is:
Have fun reading and I hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Chapter 2: lost children (part two)
I was heading back to Crona with a big smirk on my face. I succeeded in leading the DWMA away from him .students and death-scythes that were after me are scattered all over town, probably lost. Heh those fools walk right in to my trap. Now they can never find us. The rain has already stopped and the fog is starting to clear up. I was nearing my destination when I notice no one was in the ally. I landed and walked around to see if he was around the corner or if he just walk a few blocks away. He was nowhere to be found. I went back to my broomstick and flew up to search the streets of Death city.
Could I have miscalculated? Did the DWMA find him? No that's impossible, I made sure they were as far away from Crona as possible. I've already checked half of the city and still no sign of him. There were no leads to where he could have gone to.
Did he runaway? My eyes harden at the thought of him doing that. I am his mother and he is my servant, he would never even think of disobeying me. I'm his whole world there is nowhere else he could go. He doesn't know anything else but following my orders. So how could this have happen? I clenched my fist and flew faster.
He has to be here somewhere...
I was sitting on my bed, hugging a pillow against my chest. The lights are off so it's really dark except for a small patch of light coming from outside the window. I looked out of it and stared at the night sky then saw the moon. It was looking down at me, laughing at me, mocking me because I can't sleep. I frowned and looked down at my pillow instead. Its 2 am all the other children in this city are probably fast asleep by now. I know I should do the same but I just can't, not when I can still hear her. I've been hearing her a lot lately, I don't like it.
She probably thinks I'm asleep... It makes me so sad to hear her cry every night and it's all his fault. I hugged my pillow tighter when I remembered him. The man that's hurting my mama. Spirit Albarn my father. He lied to her, he cheated on her and he made her think he loved her and it makes me so angry.
W-what?! N-no Maka she's j-just a friend. Papa only loves you and mama I promise... That's what he said to me the first time I saw him with another woman. I believed him of course but now I'm regretting that decision.
M-maka! I-I didn't know you where c-coming what a nice s-surprise! Hehe... Oh her?! No she's just a co-worker ok... The second time was when I visited him in the academy. There was a woman sitting on his lap. He quickly pushed her off when he saw me.
I-I was only holding her hand b-because she was cold, do you remember what I said before? Only you and mama... The third time, he was holding another woman's hand while walking on the sidewalk.
I was only letting her borrowing my jacket. The fourth time. No she just fell asleep on top of me... The fifth. I closed my eyes.
There was a stain on her shirt. The sixth. I gridded my teeth together. It was only a friendly hug... My hands are starting to shake. LIES! Everything that comes out of his mouth are lies! All of it! I felt something wet flowing down on my cheeks. It took me a few seconds to realize I was crying. Once I found out what it was I wiped it off. I didn't want the same fate as my mother.
Speaking of my mother it seems like her crying has gone down. That's weird usually it's longer... I mean it's not like I want my mother to cry, it's just... I have a feeling that something horrible is about to happen. Her crying stops completely and everything went silent.
Then I heard A loud thump. I flinched. It sounded like something heavy hit the ground. I stared at my bed room door, wanting to go and check if she was ok but something was holding me back.
"Mama..." Was the only word I was able to whisper. For some reason my throat felt dry and beads of sweet started to form on my forehead. I don't know why I'm so nervous, I should be happy she's not crying anymore. I should be relieved that she's not shedding more tears for that man but I'm not...
I'm afraid
I'm afraid of what I might see if I walk through that door. I fear that something horrible might happen that I might see something I won't like. It's ok to be afraid Maka as long as you have the courage to face them afterwards. Her voice popped inside my head. I remember when she told me that not too long ago. It happened yesterday at the park, I was sitting on one of the swings and mama was about to push me. Mama don't push me to high I'm scared of heights. She just looked down at me, smiled warmly and then said those words. After that I wasn't scared of heights any more.
I smiled at the memory as the fear was washed away by my mother's warm and soothing voice. With that in mind I stood up and walked to the door and placed my hand on the knob. With a smile still on my face I went through the door then to my mother's room.
My blood immediately turned cold when I walked inside the room. I saw something, something no five-year old child should ever see. There laying on the floor was my mother with a small puddle of blood underneath her. I stood still, I didn't move, I didn't breath, I didn't even blinked my eyes because I was frozen with shock and fear. I feared that my mother could be dead or if the person that did this might still be here. Then I noticed something, there was a knife in her right hand. Did she do this to herself? My cheeks were soaked with tears. I didn't even notice I was crying until now.
"MAMA!" I screamed her name as out loud as I can as if it will somehow wake her up... But it didn't... I runned towards the body then kneeled down beside her and placed her head on my lap, softly stroking her messy hair. "M-m-mama w-why...why d-did y-y-you d-do this y-yourself?" I spooked between sobs as my tears fall on her face.
"WHY!" I cried out loud then started to shake her. "W-w-wake up! W-wake u-up please!" Her eyes remained closed and body still limped, not responding to my plead. I shook her even more and cried her name over and over again. Her body showed no signs of life. "N-no.. No p-please d-don't go" I placed my head on top of hers and let my tears flow.
"I'm home" My sobbing stops as the realization hit me. His the reason... My back straightens but the tears keep coming. I hear footsteps coming my way as he mumbled something I couldn't hear. "Kami I'm ba-" He stop in his tracks. My back was facing him so he couldn't see me and mama but I'm sure he can see the blood. Everything was silent.
"You did this." I'm surprised at how firm my voice sounded. "W-what?" He sounded shocked by what i said, as if he didn't know his been hurting mama for a long time. "She got sad and killed herself because of you!" I shouted at him, letting him know how much I hate him.
My blood was boiling as my hands start to shake with anger, anger for this man. I felt weird like somethings happening to my body, like I'm about to release something. "I-I... I-It's not-" He stammered out but I cut him off.
"DON'T LIE!" I snapped at him as the feeling inside me grows. "P-Please m-Maka d-don't say that" His crying, he sounds so pathetic. I hear his footsteps again, his slowly waking toward us. "L-let m-me help."
"Stay back!" I turn around to face him, he looks even worse than he sounds. I glared at him, my eyes filled with rage. He seemed to be startled by my gaze so he stops. "Mama cries ever night because of you!" I couldn't see his eyes because his bangs are covering it but I know that what I said hurt him.
"I-I n-never knew..." Tears are now stream down his face and fall on the ground. I'll never forgive him even if he cries as much as mama did. "Maka… p-papa's s-so s-sorry!... P-please..." His walking towards me with his arms stretched out a bit like his about to hug me.
"Get away from me Spirit!" He stops once more. Now I can see his eyes and it's filled with so much pain. Good. He continues to walk. "M-maka I-I'm your p-papa r-remember?.." More tears go down his face but his still walking.
"Not anymore!" He sobs some more but continues. "STOP!" He doesn't listed, his only a few feet away from me. No! Don't come closer! He kneels a few steps away from me but his still coming. "I SAID STOP!" I close my eyes and shout at him as loud as I can.
I hear something ripping and he gasps. My back feels cold... I slowly open my eyes and look toward Spirit. What I saw surprised me. There was a long dark grey blade that cut Spirit's left cheek, drawing a little bit of blood but that's not what got my attention. No, what surprised me was that...
The blade was coming out of my back. W-what. My eyes widen, my breathing is uneven and I can feel my small body shake. What is this! The blade was long, sharp and it looks like it's not going anywhere anytime soon. As I was examining the blade my eyes accidentally meets Spirit's and he looks at me with fear. I don't like it. "Don't look at me like that!" Another blade comes out of my back and this time it cuts his right shoulder. He cries in pain then moves away from it.
"Y-you're a weapon." He stated obviously still shocked in what his seeing. A weapon...A weapon l-like him?... "No" I whispered to myself. I'm nothing like him. "No." I say this loud enough so he could hear me. That's not true! "No no no nooo!"
This is just a dream... My mom's not really dead and these things aren't really coming out my back. "I-it's just a-a d-dream... T-this is n-not happening!" I start to cry and grip my hair. "M-maka.. Let me help you." His coming closer.
"No! G-get away!" feel more blades come out my back and some of it are coming his way but he was able doge it. What's happening to me? I'm becoming more unstable as the blades come out in random directions. I let go my hair to see that my arms shaking so hard as another blade comes out my right arm and it comes in contact with mama.
"Gah!" I backed away from her. I see blood leaking out of the wound that I made. "N-no... I-I'm sorry!" Another blade appears in my left arm and it nearly hits her face, I missed her by a few inches. I'm going hurt her if I don't stay away.
I don't know what else to do. Spirit keeps coming towards me, avoiding every blade that's heading his way and if I don't stay away from mama she'll get hurt. So I did the only thing that popped inside my mind. I runned away...
Away from Spirit, from mama, from that room, from that house, I keep running and I didn't stop till I was out of breath. Now I'm in the middle of the street far away from my home, there wasn't anyone around and I was next to a lamppost that was flickering. My hands were on my knees while I tried to catch my breath. The blades were still on my back and its feels so heavy. What am I going to do? I can't go back with this thing on my back! I might hurt people.
*sniff*
I'm crying again, it seems like it's the only thing I've been doing the whole night, it just won't stop! The only thing that's good about this is that I was able to hurt Spirit and no one's here to see her while she's like this. Suddenly I heard a swooshing sound, like something landed, then slow, light footsteps. If it wasn't so quiet I probably wouldn't hear it. Then it stops a few feet away and I can feel it's eyes staring down at me. I wiped my cheeks and straighten my back then looked at the person behind me. It was a woman, she was tall, has blond hair and was wearing some sort of black cloak with a hood. She was staring down at me with such... Admiration? She was reaching out to me, about to place her hand on my shoulder.
"S-stay back!" A blade stretches out, about to strike her in the face but stops a few inches away from her. "Amazing, so powerful in such a young age." She said, almost sounding like she's in awe. S-she likes these things!?
I take a few steps away from her. "G-get a-away from me!" She just smiles at me. "Don't worry child, I won't hurt you... for now" Her smile grows as she starts to chant something and a small black arrow comes out of her mouth mimicking the movements of a snake. My eyes widen, the snake went towards me and went inside my mouth. I start to choke and the blades go back inside me but everything is starting to get dark.
"You can never replace him..." She said, her smile now gone and voice sounding odd. I fall on my knees trying my best to keep my eyes open. "But I guess you'll do for now." Her smile comes back and she picks me up, I wanted to push her of but I didn't have enough strength to do so. "Sleep now child, you'll need it." That was the last thing I heard before passing out.
I'm sooooo sorry this took so long, I'll try to do better next time. Also I made it a bit longer as an apology. Hehe I hope you guys will accept it. LoL anyway see you in the next chapter. And marry late Christmas and happy New Year. :)
Oh! And I almost forgot, I want to say thank you to Ynot7 for proofreading half of this chap. I didn't want to bother the guy so I didn't let him proofread the rest.
