Chapter 3

An Odd Outcome

Cora's POV

The world doesn't seem to go black for very long, but when I wake up, I'm not in the courtyard. I'm in a room that contains other beds, and in these beds are Maka, Soul, and Shard. I'm sore everywhere, but I don't seem to have any flesh wounds. Maka seems okay as well, because she sits up stiffly, but has no flesh wounds either. I'm more worried about Shard and Soul than anyone else. They each look terrible, with bruises splattered across their faces and their arms, and neither of them have woken up yet. I turn to Maka again and frown. "Do you know what happened?" I ask weakly, and I realize that my throat is as sore as my body.

Maka must have already figured that out though, because instead of replying, she simply shakes her head. My answer comes instead from a person I've never met before. "Both of your soul wave lengths reacted in a similar way, which caused you to repel from each other. You know how Opposite magnets attract, and the magnets that are the same repel? Like that." Says a girl that must be our age. She's sitting at a desk, writing out what seems to be four different forms. When she realizes that we're both confused, she looks up and smiles. "I'm Destiny." She says as she stands. "My mother is the school nurse, and she's talking to Lord Death right now, so I'm here to make sure you're okay." she walks to the other side of the room and gets some medicine, then carefully uses a dropper to put it into Shard and Soul's mouths. "You guys are lucky that you didn't actually contact each other while using Soul Residence. If you had, you'd be nearly as mad as these two. And trust me, you haven't seen the worst of the wounds." she stretches and yawns, and I notice that she looks tired. She has dark circles under her lavender eyes, and her long red hair is pulled back in a messy ponytail. "I'm not sure exactly why you guys had that reaction, but apparently it's important, because Professor Stein and my mom looked worried." She sat down in a chair between our beds. "You're fight was very interesting you know. You're soul's were pretty much the same size."

I'm surprised, because when I sensed their souls, I thought that they were bigger then ours. "Are you sure?" I ask, my voice sounding rougher than it was supposed to be. Destiny must notice this, because she gets up and gives me a small cup of medicine. "Here, this should help your throat." She smiles, and sits back down. "I'm pretty sure. I was there, and like most meisters, I could see your soul sizes. They were pretty big, and pretty much the same size."

I drink the liquid and nod, but stiffen when I hear a groan from the corner of the room. After I put the cup in on the table next to my bed, I stand up slowly. "What are you doing?" Destiny asks me, but I ignore her while I go over and sit next to Shard on the side of his bed. His eyes are open now and he smiles grimly. "Hey Cora." He whispers, and I notice that his voice sounds weaker than it's ever been. "Hey Candy." I reply, taking his hand gently. "How are you feeling?"

I can hear him chuckle softly, but it turns into a groan. "I feel like shit." He grumbled. "And my shoulder aches, like a knife went straight through it and down to my stomach." he starts scratching at his shirt where it hurts. "Stop!" Destiny yells, standing up quickly and snatching his hand. "You can't scratch that, or you'll take out the stitches!" she lets go of his hand, but I notice him go a few shades paler than he already is. "Stitches? What happened?" he asked, looking from me to Destiny.

"When you and Soul connected, your blades cut into each other a bit. You were nearly sliced in half, and so was he. Lucky for him it wasn't as bad as yours, or he'd be dead. He's been cut like that before, so it would have killed him this time." Destiny explains, and I stare at her for a moment. "Why didn't you tell me that before?!" I exclaim, and I'm on my feet in the next second, my fist clutching her shirt and pulling her towards me as I get ready to punch her. "Coraline." Shard says, reaching up and grabbing my arm. I automatically stop, because Shard never calls me by my full name. "Calm down Cora. At least she told you now. You couldn't have taken the news right after you woke up."

Destiny just stands there, but she doesn't look scared. Actually, I notice that she's braced herself and she's ready to punch back if I hit her. I slowly pull away from both of them and nod. "Alright." I whisper, swallowing hard. I quietly leave the room and ignore Destiny's protests about how this might 'Affect my health' or 'Get her in trouble for losing me'. I just need some time alone to think.

Sara: So it turns out, I'm not mean enough to leave you guys at a cliff hanger!

Destiny: Oh thank the lord! I was going insane waiting. Oh look, there's a character based off of me! Haha Hannah, you Jelly?

Hannah: Heeyy! Sara, put ME in there!

Sara: I will, just be patient! But in the mean time, read the next chapter or I'll take your Soul!
