Chapter 3 Friends

I was still using my soul protect around town to keep Alyssa safe was not a fighter unlike Tara. I was sent on a mission with Maka, Black star and Kid but we were told to leave our partners at home.

"So do you think we can really win without our weapons." Maka said to kid.

"I don't know but as much as I don't like saying this I'm glad we have witches power on our side, and no i don't have anything against you I just never thought I would say that." Kid said.

"Nothing taken." I said. I was worried my wound had not fully healed and I was scared I would be a hold back.

"Alston don't worry you will not be need as along as a star like me is here." Black star said.

"Didn't kid beat you and he is worried about this." I said.

We walked to the village of ashes and saw it the kishin egg but it was giant. "How are we going to fight something like that without our weapons?" Maka said shocked.

"I have an idea but you all need to keep it off me and we can win maybe." I said.

"And that would be?" Kid asked.

"If I use about half the blood in my body and create a blood trap under him and he would be unable to fight." I said

"As would you and if this don't work he will kill you." Kid said.

"Fine any other ideas." I said.

"Soul not here so we can't soul link." Maka said.

"What soul link?" I asked.

"It when we connect our souls and fight as one but we listen to soul music he plays but without him we can't." Maka said.

"We can we just have to try harder." Kid said.

"Try now I will get his attention and you join when ready." I said running off. I got to the town and I got on the roof and I yelled at it and it looked at me. "Great what do I do now?" I said to my self.

He swung his hand down and I got out of the way and ran to the next roof. "Okay so he is not messing around." I said. He swung it over and I slit my hand and summon a shield to try and block the attack but it took a lot out of my and he pulled his hand back and I felt tried from it. "Maybe I was a little reckless." I said. Then I saw Maka and the other run in and they attack in sync of each other.

"Alston that was reckless of you." Maka said. We fought the creature and we had no real affect on his until I noticed his had a weak point under his chin. I asked kid for a lift and he thrown me up and I caught onto his chest and spattered blood all over his chin and I used my attack to strike his head and it was over the creature soul was all the was left and I fell to the ground and landed on my back.

"Are you okay?" Kid said giving me a hand.

"yea just a little weak that's all." I said.

We all went back to the school and I was give amount of money and was told good job.

I went home and I opened the door and Alyssa got up from the couch and hugged me. "I'm fine." I said.

"That was a reckless job they sent you on." Tara said.

"No it was a test to see what my magic was able to do." I said.

"Oh so how much blood did you use?" Alyssa asked.

"A good amount to make me light headed." I said with a smile on my face.

I laid down on the couch and Alyssa sat down on in the chair and Tara started lunch. "So how do you feel you two?" I asked them.

"I'm fine a little mad but fine." Tara said.

"Oh well I was okay for the most part I was scared that you would get hurt." Alyssa said.

"I'm fine." I said.

"That good." She said. She got up and left to my room and closed and locked the door.

"Brother how blind are you?" Tara asked.

"I'm not blind." I said.

"Right so how have you not noticed that she is in love with you, is it because of dad you still are having a hard time opening up to others." Tara said

"Stop I trusted mother more then dad." I said.

"But being betrayed by him make it even harder to bare." She said.

"Don't you know everything." I said.

"Go and open up to her and tell her the truth, you both have something in common daddy issues." Tara said.

I got up and went to the door and knocked on it, she opened the door and I went in and shut it. "Is something wrong?" She asked.

"No, I just wanted to talk to you." I said. She looked at me and I sat down on the bed. "I have not been open to any one not even my own sister after my mother died, and my father betrayed me, I think it time I start to try and I'm scared." I said.

"Why? She asked.

"Being half witch it make it hard to keep the evil out of my soul but I don't know how my mother did it." I said.

I felt her arm come around my neck and down my chest from behind just like my mother hugged me when I was sad. "Damn it why was I so weak." I said.

"Your not weak you just have not learned your true meaning yet." She said.

I turned around and I laid my head on her shoulder. She stroked the back of my head for a little bit and I lifted my head and looked into her eyes. I looked down and then I kissed her cheek and I got up. "I' going to go on a little walk to clear my mind." I said.

"I will came with." She said.

"And if I said no." we left the room and told Tara. She came with and we went to the park. I walked to the tree my mother passed away from and Placed the flower I got along the way under it.

"So Alston how is the madness inside." I heard professor stein asked.

"I don't feel mad at all." I said.

"Will it seems that you have a good system now and that is a key factor in all of this without them you would." He said.

"That good to know." I said. I saw Maka and soul walk up but Kid. Crona, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki and Black star all had flower with them.

"Don't forget us we all are here for you as well." Maka said. They one by one placed and said a pray to her. I felt some tear form in my eyes and they all looked atme and I just started to cry for the first time I had friend that cared for me.
