Chapter 4-Spirit
I awake in a hospital bed with Soul and Maka by my side, but they're not alone, a group of kids I have never met before also surround me. I am just starting to make out what they look like when Soul suddenly says, "Do you want me to tell you now or later."
"What?" I reply still half asleep and inexplicably sore.
"Do you want to hear it now, after being unconscious for days and really lucky Stein and Ms. Marie are the doctors and not another teacher, or later where you're not in a hospital?"
"Now I guess."
"You're a witch."
"What?"
"After you fell unconscious, you're soul appeared."
"How do you know for sure it was my soul you're looking at?"
Stein speaks up. "Because Maka and I would've sensed a soul like that as soon as it entered Death City."
"And you were floating unconscious with the soul sitting by your heart." Soul adds and I glare at him.
"If that's true then why didn't you notice it as soon as Soul and I ran back here?"
"The witch part of your soul was covered by the fact that you're Soul's sister, it seemed the same as when we first sensed it, the witch part only emerged when you tried to use the weapon part of you, which is much weaker."
"Well if I'm for sure a witch then why are they not hunting me down right now?" I say gesturing to the waiting group of strangers.
"Because they're our friends," Maka explains. "And they're not about to murder Soul's only known sister."
I smile, fall back onto the pillow, and fall back asleep, knowing that I'm safe, at least for now.
I wake, or start dreaming, in an old looking room with a set of drums in the middle of it. I instantly want to play, but there is something wrong that tells me not to. "Go on, play." A devious voice emerges. I turn and see an odd looking little devil creature in a suit.
"What's the catch," I say back.
"There isn't one, playing these drums will relieve you of feeling fear." It says. "Just as it did for Soul when he played the piano."
"Soul was here?"
"Yes, anyone who has black blood in them comes to the madness room."
"Who gave Soul black blood?"
I jolt awake, now in a bed inside the apartment I saw the first night Soul and I ran here. I think it belongs to him and Maka but I can't really tell since I'm still a little shaky from my dream. Then Maka walks in and sit on the edge of the bed. "How'd you sleep?"
"I had an...interesting dream."
"What was it about?"
"There was a little demon and a drum set, he said that because I had black blood in me I could play the drums and forget fear. He said the same happened for Soul."
"Oh no." She whispers. "Soul, Stein, hurry."
The last thing is see is Soul and Stein standing in the doorway, wondering what's going on. Then I pass out, again.
