"No sir." Maka said hesitantly, I can't let Lord Death find out about this curse. Her thoughts were frantic after the question asked. "Really now…" Lord Death said, "Alright then".The reaper snapped his fingers, and out came Sid holding a jar, Sid handed it to Lord Death, then left. The Reaper opened the Jar, and a sickeningly familiar scent reached Maka, her throat began to burn, and she stumbled backwards before slumping against the wall. Death looked down at her, glowing, blood red eyes looked back. She lunged at the jar, which lord death then promptly placed on the floor. As Maka reached the jar, she lifted it to her lips and drank, until it was completely gone. "So, anything to tell me." Lord death repeated. Maka now regaining control, looked up and said "Yes, when I was bitten in Greece, I received the curse of vampirism." it felt good to get that off her chest. "While i'm disappointed that you didn't tell me the first time, I was pleasantly surprised that it took a full minute for you to lose control.", Maka responded quickly with "A minute isn't that long you know." the Reaper responded with "Normally a vampire so new to the curse would lose control almost immediately, the fact that it took a minute means that you have excellent control already, and that should only improve as time goes on.". Maka then asked "May I go back to class now.". The reaper responded "of course.". Maka turned around just before starting down the hallway, "Just one more thing, Can you keep this a secret, especially from my father.". Lord Death responded with "I've already informed your teachers, however I will not tell the general student body, or your father." Maka turned back to the hallway saying "Okay, thanks Lord death.".

The next day, in the middle of Professor Stein's class, Kid, Maka, Blackstar, and their weapon partners were called to the death room. As they entered a low burning entered Maka's throat, she could still faintly smell blood. They were surprised when they spotted crona already standing there. He had been allowed to become a student again, but he couldn't attend classes until they were sure he wouldn't betray the academy again. Their attention shifted when Lord Death spoke, "The werewolf, Free has been spotted approaching death city, I'm entrusting you to capture him, this will serve as Crona's final test before he can resume classes.". The team smiled and left the room.

That night they met outside the academy, then headed out, carefully searching the back alleys of Death City, Maka using her soul perception to look for their target. Then a scream was heard. The team rushed to the source, "I can see two souls, one is our targets, the other is Kim's!" Maka called shocked at the discovery. The group descended upon the area, it was on a main road, Kim sat on the ground directly across from Free, a look of absolute terror on her face. Blackstar charged swinging tsubaki twice both kusarigama attacks missing, "Oh, look it's the brats from the bridge." the werewolf spoke, "here to interfere with my job.". Crona moved forwards Ragnarok in his hand, holding a ready position, "Hey aren't you Medusa's kid?" Free spoke, a look of fear briefly flashed across his face. Maka then ran forwards and caught the werewolf across the chest with soul, causing Free to jump back, and begin chanting, "Wolf wolves, wolf wolves WOLF WOLVES, Magic eye cannon, Maka and Crona lept opposite directions to evade the blast. Kid opened up with Liz and Patty, the shots impacting one after the next. "Tsubaki, enchanted sword mode." Blackstar said, charging his adversary, slashing twice. One connected and the second was dodged as the werewolf retreated. Crona then followed up with slashes from Ragnarok. Free counterattacked swiping his claws across the meisters body, black blood splashing into the air, "What!, why can't I get past the blood vessels?.". "Bloody needle, Crona said, as the black blood stabbed into his opponent multiple times. Maka realised that the black blood caused no discomfort, though she could smell it, it had a bit of the scent of regular blood, but it smelled differently from what was in the rest of them. She ignored it and attacked herself, missing as her opponent dodged, then started chanting again, "Wolf wolves WOLF WOLVES, ice cone.", the cone appeared just in front of Blackstar, without thinking, Maka darted in front of her friend, the cone impaled her, she felt dull pain from the wound. "Maka!" Soul shouted, transforming. They were all shocked when Maka's fist slammed down on the cone, shattering it, her eyes glowed blood red as steam began to rise from the gaping hole in her stomach, Kim who had stood up, along with the rest of the team looked on as the wound began to close. "Soul, transform!" Maka called, and the weapon obeyed. As the hole closed completely, Maka charged, she was moving so fast that the rest of her team could barely track her. Free looked confused, what, the girl is immortal?, that's impossible. Then the werewolf took a scythe blow directly to the chest splitting him open, blood spattering across the bridge. Maka's throat burned intensely. As she was stumbling backwards, resisting the curse Free spoke once again, "Tenuki witch Kimial Diehl, you have been ordered to return to the witches coven, and I was sent to bring you back, I know you used your healing magic to save that girl. This will be reported to the witches coven immediately." before running off. All eyes turned to the pink haired girl standing at the end of the street. "I'll contact my father." Kid said, obviously still shocked about what they had just learned. Blackstar moved to block the intersection, with Crona at the other end. "Yo, Kiddo, wassup." Lord death greeted his son in his typical fashion. "Father we have discovered something that you might want to know. While we were fighting the werewolf, one of his ice cones impaled Maka, however the wound closed after the cone was shattered, and the werewolf said something better reported in person.

"So, our student Kim Diehl is a witch is she?" Lord Death said, looking to the lantern meister. "Lord Death, I'm sorry for lying to you, but I hated life as a witch, I thought that if I was at the DWMA, then I could escape the coven." Kim said looking both ashamed and afraid. "Hmm… I will allow you to stay at the academy, however, your teachers will be notified, and a keen eye will be kept on you until we can be sure if you are trustworthy." the reaper said, causing the expression on the witch's face, "afterall, you saved the life of another academy student. You may leave, except for Maka and Kim, you two please stay behind.". The reaper said, dismissing the majority of the students."so Maka, I'll leave it up to you whether or not to explain what really happened when you were impaled."
