Chapter 4~ She speaks again. Will he began falling for her?

~~~~~~0*0*0*0*0*0~~~~~~

This was her routine for the next four years. Sally hardly ate anything and stopped speaking. She has not spoken to anyone for so long. Blaze would always look concerned at her sister's actions. Sally's face would always be paler than usual, her jacket would sometimes be stained in blood and her figure is now thin like a pool noodle. Her eyes would also look pained. She was truly broken by how Blaze yelled at her a bit. Blaze had felt like a piece of trash and would want to follow in her sister's footsteps. One day, while Sally walked alone, her eyes were looking at the floor and her wrists were gushing small amounts of crimson colored liquid. Sally then bumped into a person but didn't speak. Her ruby colored eyes met pained crimson eyes and looked kind of dazed a bit.

"Sorry." The person mumbled and Sally backed up a little.

She recognized this crimson eyed person with the snow white hair. "Soul? Is that you?"

Soul gave a grin and chuckled. "The one and only."

They were now both reunited after six years. Then, Soul took a small glance at the red-head and was taken aback by her appearance.

His cheeks began to burn and cleared his throat. "You have grown a lot." The albino spoke and then spotted her bloody sleeves.

"What's with your sleeves?" He got her wrist and rolled her sleeve up. When he saw the unspeakable, his eyes widened at the multiple cutting scars she had and her fresh ones dripping blood.

Sally's eyes grew dark and were now full of fear. "Sally…You have been…" Sally got her wrist away and shook her head.

She then began to speak for the first time in four long years of keeping silent. "No I haven't. And don't you already hate me? Because I am a weapon?"

Her eyes adverted his and walked away. The boy got her hand gently with his right hand and made her walk back to where he was.

"No. I don't" His left arm then turned into a scythe blade. He gave a toothy grin, showing his shark-like teeth. Sally looked in amazement. "Whoa…" Then the girl looked deep into the boy's eyes and gave a soft smile. "I don't think I could be greater than you."

The boy chuckled. "See? I'm just like you. A weapon." He couldn't help but look into her ruby eyes for the longest time.

He didn't let her hand go as Sally gave a small smile. "Right. Now we are alike." Soul looked at the ground and smiled. 'Why does she have to be so cute?' "I didn't get a chance to thank you the other day. That was some amazing bravery. I was a coward when it came to those kids. You were truly heroic."

Sally's cheeks had turned into a slight shade of red. "It was my pleasure. It wasn't really heroic. I was just as afraid as you to be honest." She pushed her red bangs to the side so her ruby colored eyes were more visible than before. "You look like you are a little off the edge. Is everything okay?" Sally asked gently as the boy's lip began to quiver and began to sob. Sally started to panic and feel guilty.

"I'm sorry I asked!" She was about to run but Soul embraced the petite girl into a huge hug. "Please…don't leave me…"

He began to sniffle and rubbed her back gently while Sally was pressed against his chest. "It started when I was about maybe five years old, my mother passed away and my father began to drink. He then abused me all these years. My brother also was very mean to me. He would laugh whenever I was being abused by my father."

Sally looked really angry. "That's just fucking horrible. I would love to make them beg for mercy and make them apologize while their life is on the line."

Soul shook his head. "It's fine. I really had no choice of what I did today…"

Sally then held the boy in her arms. "I promise you that if anyone hurts you, I will kill them and make them pay." She looked at the boy's arm, full of cutting scars. "You cut too."

His eyes widened. "Too? So those scars were made by you." The sky grew dark and cloudy as Sally nodded. "It's just personal." She looked like she was about to cry and Soul stroked the girl's hair.

Sally looked up at the albino. "Hey Soul? What did you mean that you had no choice of what you did today?" She asked the boy.

Soul looked into her ruby colored eyes. "Well, I got tired of them, so I decided to run away."

Sally's eyes widened. "Ran away? But where will you live?" Soul gave a small shrug. "Don't know." He noticed the way she held the girl and let her go. His cheeks glowed red and chuckled nervously. "Sorry."

Sally gave a small smile. "Aw it's okay."

The sky rumbled, giving a warning that a storm is about to come. Sally looked up. "Rain."

She took Soul's hand and ran. "Shit…" Sally mumbled under her breath. "You know what; I'm taking you to my house to live there." The rain began to pour and soaked the duo. Sally ran with Soul behind her. She accidentally slipped on a puddle and bricks were by her side. The pile of bricks caused her jacket to tear from the side, causing a tear in her skin.

Soul helped the redhead up. "You okay?" He asked her. Sally stood on her feet with the aid of Soul and held her bleeding side.

"Y-yeah." She hissed in pain. "No you're not." Soul then carried her on his back. "Alright, direct me to your house Sally." Sally gave a small nod. "Take a left on the second street. Then a right on the third street."

The albino ran as fast as his legs could take him. "Got it." The boy passed some stores and alleyways while making his way over to the redhead's house. His footsteps padded on the wet ground covered in rain water. As the rain fell, the girl felt utterly cold. She couldn't be in the freezing cold for so long. So, to try to warm herself up, the girl wrapped her own arms around herself. Soul then took a left as how Sally directed him and ran to the third street. "You will be okay Sally. Just hold on for a minute longer."He then took a sharp right onto the third street. "Which house?" He asked as Sally looked up. "Fourth house on the right."

Soul's eyes scanned the specific house and then ran to it. He put Sally to her feet at the welcome mat on the floor. Sally shuddered and dug into her pocket to fish out her keys. "We made it." Sally coughed, took out her keys, put one of the keys into the keyhole and tried to open the door. Before the poor, soaking wet girl opened the door, she was about to collapse on the floor but Soul caught her. "Shit." He muttered under his breath.

Blaze opened the door revealing both of them soaked. "What happened? What's wrong with Sally?" She questioned as she let Soul walk in with the younger Suites in her arms. Soul set the girl on the couch. "I'll explain later. Right now, she should be in warm clothing." Blaze gave a small nod. "Right." She got sally upstairs with the aid of Soul. Blaze got her legs and Soul got her head gently. They got her to the bathroom and set her down. "I'll take over. You can go wait downstairs." Blaze smiled. Soul nodded. "Alright." He went downstairs with caution since the stairs were with puddles of water. He decided to make them dry so they both wouldn't tumble down the stairs.

~~Time Skip~~

Blaze had brought her younger sister to the couch and laid her down. "I'm going to turn the heat up a bit. Are you sure you want to wear your wet clothes? I could always let you borrow my dad's old clothes for you to wear."

Soul smiled and nodded. "I'm sure. You don't have to worry about me."

Blaze nodded. "Cool. I got her side all bandaged up after I got her clothes off. She should wake up soon."

The albino smiled and gave a small nod. "Thank goodness."

"So, how do you know my sister?" She asked as she walked to the controls of the thermostat.

Soul grinned, showing his shark-like teeth. "Yep. An unpredictable encounter though."

Blaze changed the settings then grabbed a blanket. "Really? How?" She then covered Sally up with the blanket and got her tucked in. Soul chuckled. "Not sure if this will be cool to talk about this."

Blaze laughed slightly. "Aw come on?"

Soul had gotten up. "Alright. I guess I have no other choice. Promise me you won't tell her about this."

Blaze kept laughing. "Why?"

Soul shrugged. "It's just something."

The girl agreed. "Alright fine." She sat down on a small couch and kicked her legs on the arm rest. "Go on cool guy."

(A/N): Hey guys, Sorry about this late update. I have been occupied with my college entrance exams and having issues regarding my senior classes that had to be fixed. I hope next update will be up Thursday if I'm lucky enough to be able to type another chapter. I have no school due to a Jewish holiday. So, that's it. Thanks and Sorry about any errors that can possibly be present. Once again, I do not own Soul Eater in any way, I only ear the characters Blaze and Sally, along with the plot.
