The sound of the heart monitor flooded the room. Black-star sat with his face buried in between his trembling palms. the noise, regardless of it's purpose, was oddly soothing to black-star as he knew that if the noise was to disappear it would mean his friend wouldn't be so lucky.
"Black-star?" A sweet voice called out.
He looked up, clearly in agony. His face stained with tears and scratches. "Yes nurse?"
She looked at him with slight pity, knowing he was in pain. "Are you not planning on going back to class? i can take it from here."
"I can't leave him in this state"
"understood, do you happen to know who would do such a thing? we'd have to see to it that they be expelled"
black-star shook his head. he could have said maka but that would be making false accusations and he had no proof.
The nurse nodded "Let me know if there is any change, maybe he will remember" and the nurse left.
Black-star looked over at his close to lifeless friend. Soul laid there, his clothing still drenched to the core his face blue from lack of oxygen. His throat bandaged and several serious blows to the head were shown. It was hard not to look away. the sight was sickening and something that hadn't been seen much. He didn't want to look, he couldn't turn away. He blamed himself, he shouldn't have left. Should have stayed by his side. After what had happened black star vowed that the moment soul wakes up, the moment he opens those eyes of his. That is when black-star will say it.
Then again...
=What if...he doesn't make it? ..will i ever tell soul...how i really feel?..=
Maka was walking down a small winding pathway, she looked pleased with herself. Smiling and humming.
"You did good maka, you showed him who's boss"
She came across the small pond she had pushed him in and peered inside, what she was seeking was clearly no longer there. It was the perfect plan, kill him, act like nothing happened, 'discover' his remains and call for help. Boy was she wrong. It all back fired, someone had rescued soul and soon everyone will know it was her. Her expression was horrified. she got up and made her way back to the academy.
"No, No one can know. I have to hurry"
