It was going on eleven fifty-five and a certain boy was board out of his mind. Jagger was just staring out at the star filled sky. He was still thinking about how no one caught him leaving a little over an hour ago. Not even his parents woke up after he kicked over the garbage cans.
I bet they won't even think about me running away to here, Jagger thought. He smirked and unintentionally started to turn the spiky bracelet he had around his wrist as he recalled all the other times he ran away from home.
A man asking him, "Sir, where are you getting off at?" then interrupted his thoughts.
Jagger looked over at the man and saw that he worked on the train. He went to say where but then he realized that he didn't know himself. So he just looked back out the window as he talked. "Honestly, I have no idea. All I know is that it's a city with a school called the DWMA and this train is suppose to stop there at midnight."
He looked back at the man and nearly jumped out of his skin from shock. The man looked like he went from nice and caring to creepy. He actually looked like he would murder some one, and Jagger already had people looking like that in his dreams. "Well then," the man began in an equally creepy voice. "You might want to hold on and get ready to scream." Then he turned and walked away.
"Hey! Wait," Jagger said and went to go after the man but a light shone through his window. He squinted as he tried to look out the window again. What the hell is going on around here? Then the train picked up speed and Jagger was thrown back against his seat. It was like the train turned into a rocket or a fast roller coaster. The only thing Jagger could do is wait for the train to stop and read the bar that flashed the time and next stop. The thing flashed, "12:00 p.m. Next stop: Death City."
"Bye mom," Amber said as she waved to her mom through the mirror. The image of her mom faded and the mirror showed the small girl and Lord Death. Amber turned to face Death and smiled as she spoke. "Hello. It's nice to meet you in person."
A white-gloved hand then came out of nowhere and was extended towards the brown haired girl. "Its nice to meet you too," Death said while Amber continued to smile and shake his hand. She was actually starting to get use to surprises.
"So then," she said getting right to business. "Where is my partner?"
Death thought about it and looked as if he remembered something, or at least as close to looking like it as possible. "Oh. His parents wouldn't let him come like your mother did so he had to take the train. He should be arriving soon."
"Oh, ok," Amber said cheerfully. I wonder who he is…
Jagger came off the train and collapsed on the floor with his duffel bag landing next to him. "Its official," he said groggily. "I hate trains." He heard the train leave then he got up about six minutes later. "Ok. This must be Death City," he said while looking around. Then he realized how bright it was. He looked up and was astounded when he saw the sun. And it wasn't because it had a face or that he could actually stare at it, he was astounded because it was out when he thought it was midnight. "Weird," he mumbled as he slung his bag over his shoulder. The city was like a hill and at the top was a castle like structure. "My best guess is that those are all houses/apartments and that one at the top is the school." Then he walked off only to get lost in the maze of apartment buildings. After what felt like hours, the boy stopped in an ally. "I give. I'm lost," he said then hit his head against the brick wall.
"Not cool dude," a male voice said to Jagger's left. He looked over to see a boy and girl.
The girl walked past the boy and held out her hand. "Hi. My name is Maka. Is something wrong?"
Jagger stood up straight and shook her hand while he smiled. "Name's Jagger. I'm actually lost. Do you know where the DWMA is?"
Maka looked really excited. "Yeah. Soul and me were just heading there. You can come with us" She started to walk passed Jagger, making her pull him after her. "Come on Soul! We'll be late."
Soul groaned as he walked after them. "Maka, we still have a few hours to get there." The way Soul said it made an image of Amber flash through Jagger's mind and a slight blush creep across his face.
After a few minutes, Maka let go of Jagger and he was now walking next to Soul. "So, what kind of a name is 'Soul'?"
"Hey, that's what my parents named me," the white haired boy said. "What kind of a name is 'Jagger'?"
"It's better than what my parents named me."
"What'd they name ya?" His only response was Jagger staring at him with wide eyes and a frown. Soul laughed. "That bad huh? You don't like them, do ya?"
"I'd rather be eaten alive by sharks then spend a hour with them. Once, we spent an hour at a zoo. They got so annoying that they had to drag me out of the lion's cage."
Soul just laughed again. "So you're bran new here?"
"Yep."
"What are you?"
"A weapon. Don't have a partner yet. Heck, I don't even know what kind of weapon I am."
"Don't worry," Maka chimed in. "I'm sure Lord Death will help you out." The three had stopped in front of a huge door. The two boys were talking so much that they didn't realize where they were. Maka grabbed the knocker and knocked. The door opened and she said, "Just go straight ahead and you'll see Shinigami-sama."
Jagger nodded. "See ya around, dude," Soul said. The two guys smirked and hit their fists together.
"Yeah, see ya," Jagger said before he started to walk through the long hall.
After a while, he came to a platform. The black haired boy could hear Death talking to someone. As he climbed onto the platform, he heard Shinigami-sama change the topic. "Here he is. This is your partner…" But before he could finish, the girl turned around to see Jagger. Both teenagers went into shock. Then, both teens pointed at each other as they yelled, "What are you doing here?"
