I walked back to the room in silence. I could not believe what my father was planning it was horrifying. "are you okay Soul? You look paler than ever." Maka said looking at me with big green eyes "I-I'm sorry Maka I am so sorry" I said as I sat on the bed my mind racing with hundreds of thoughts. "what happened Soul?" She asked her voice quiet, almost like a whisper as she moved closer. I told her, I told her everything my dad had planned if I did not mate with her within three days. She was silent for a while "It's okay, I'm glad it's you who I will mate with." Maka said I dared to look at her, she was smiling. "I decided that if I am going to mate with you I will only ever mate with you from now on, If I'm going to take away your chances to mate with someone of your choice I won't even look at another girl, only you I promise." I said and I had meant every word "something else is bothering you isn't it?" she asked
I could feel my face heating up. "I well, I don't want this to just be some fuck, I want it to mean something, but I never… I never made l-love, I mean I've had sex I just it just never meant anything and I feel that this should mean something and I don't know what to do because I've never done anything that meant something and I'm nervous, God I'm really nervous and I never get nervous…" I was cut off by soft lips. Maka had kissed me, I was dumbfounded my brain shorted out. "it's okay, I'm nervous to I have never done anything like this before, but I'm glad I get to experience it with you and I'm touched you want it to mean something for my sake. And if you're serious about only ever being with me than I doubt it will be the last time we have plenty of time to practice so it doesn't have to be perfect okay?" she was so calm and collected and I was a mess of nerves. She kissed me again this time I did not hesitate to kiss back.
It didn't take long for the kiss to become heated. Slowly Maka climbed on top of me and straddled me. My hands started to roam down her back to the edge of her shirt my fingers drawing small circled on her hips. Slowly I moved my hands up and under her shirt. I cupped her breast as Maka started to rock back and forth a breathy moan escaped her lips. Her hands started to work the buttons on her top un buttoning each with slow cautious movements. I trailed kisses down her face to her collar and sucked gently. Guilt bubbling in my stomach, she deserves so much more than this, I thoughts "why are you crying?" I jumped slightly when her voice hit my ears "I I hadn't know I was crying guess I just feel like I am ruining you" I said looking away. She laughed "it's okay, I promise I would fight if I really didn't want this to happen, I trust you and you don't have to worry. I promise." Maka said kissing my tear away. She then moved to my neck and bit me sending my instincts into over drive.
She glanced around the hall before moving forward every door was locked it seemed. "Where am I" Maka whispered, she was floating in darkness only a moment ago now everything is white. She walked farther down the hall. A white door with a crimson red knob called to her begging her to open the door. So she did. To her surprise the door was unlock and she moved inside, the white tile floors turned to a soft green grass and white ceiling with the bright lights turned to a night sky full of color. A tree sat in the middle of the grassy field. "It's beautiful isn't it?" Maka jumped at the voice. "Who's there?" Maka called but her eyes never strayed from the tree, she knew this tree. "I am Mercy, I am your wolf." Maka finally turned to face the wolf. "Why are we not one then?" Maka asked "but we are, you are losing your insanity and you soul is running away from me. We are separating." Mercy said as she sat on the grassy fields "where are we?" Maka asked "we are in your soul." The wolf replied
Tsubaki watched in fear as Maka shifted into her wolf form, black blood dripping from her fangs she circled Blackstar who showed no fear. Tsubaki knew she was going to kill Blackstar. Tears streamed down her face "please hurry" she whispered to no one in particular, she just hopped they would hear her and come to save them all.
"Where is she, you have to tell us please." Soul begged "s s sh sh she is in th desert, my mother plans to make her give up her s s sanity, after she k k kills Blackstar and Tsubaki. It is in the east. Hurry." Crona said soul took off to the desert to find her running faster than everyone else, he would save her. They ran for miles and hours passed as they ran. But they never gave up they kept moving never stopping. Soul stopped dead in his track "Maka?" he whispered to the wind everyone looked at him questioningly Soul turned to the pink hair boy "this was a trap; medusa sent you to give her more time." Soul accused "Soul how could you; Crona would never do something like that." Liz hissed "then why hadn't he ever left medusa before why stay with her, how would he know what medusa was planning unless she told him, if medusa told him her plot she would have expected him to find us putting us into a trap to keep us away long enough for Maka to do something bad in her insane state." Soul said Crona laughed as her blood transformed into a blade. "Wow your smart, but did you know darkness is my only friend, and your door just closed." Insanity took over the small boy
The once pretty green wolf eyes were now a cold heartless black, a killer's eye. Blackstar watched Maka's movements carefully then he saw it the tiny flicker of green in Maka's eyes "Maka I know you can hear me you have to fight it. You can do it, Soul is on his way, how will you be able to look at him if you didn't try your hardest to stop yourself from killing me." Blackstar yelled the wolf hesitated for a second. Maka growled and lunged for Blackstar ripping his restraints away Blackstar moved fast "please Maka you are kind this is not you. The real you stayed up for hours healing me and Tsubaki, you talked to us when you thought we couldn't listen, you believed in us when everyone gave up and left us to die" Blackstar said as he shifted his skin into black scales.
"My soul? Why is it an open field with a tree?" Maka asked questioningly "because this is where you go when you're lost. When you needed herbs or when you had been claimed this is where you heart wanted to be." Mercy said as she laid on the grass "this tree is where I was born, isn't it" Maka asked as she touched the bark "yes, but this place will disappear if you don't fight the madness, we must reconnect Maka." Mercy said Maka placed her hand on the wolfs fur. Then she fell to the ground gripping her face. Pain was all she could feel.
Maka had lunged at Blackstar, Tsubaki watched in horror as Blackstar didn't even flinch he just blocked her with his arm. Maka's teeth ripped right through Blackstar's dragon scaled. Steam poured from Maka's mouth. Realization hit Tsubaki. Dragon blood was like acid to wolfs, Blackstar was trying to bring her back to her senses by burning her. What Blackstar did next scared Tsubaki even more though.
"Soul do something!" Liz yelled. Crona laughed as he closed in on Soul. Soul took a deep breath, Crona raised their sword, Soul took a step back, Crona swung and a gunshot sounded through the air. Everything stood still for all of ten minutes. Then Crona fell Kid stood behind him gun smoking. "Did you kill him?" Liz gasped "HAHA the gun want bang" Patti said before falling to the ground laughing "He's not dead just asleep, the bullet had a sleeping serum, so Soul what do you suggest we do now?" Kid asked "Crona had us going east and Blackstar and Tsubaki headed north and Crona said that they also had Blackstar and Tsubaki, so I think we should head north." Soul said
Silver dripped down his arm. He could smell the singed fur. "I'm sorry Maka." Blackstar said before shadows filled the room each taking a shape of someone close to Maka. Each shadow circled around Maka's wolf she growled and backed up "Maka you need to get in control, look at all you friends waiting for you. Liz, Patti, Tsubaki, Kidd, Me and your mate Soul." Blackstar said "remember you promised all of us you would protect us, you a wolf princess, you stronger than this, if you go too far you will be putting Soul endanger, you got to pull it together Maks." Maka growled and jumped for the shadows attacking each one until they dissolved Blackstar shivered when Maka's jaws clasped around Souls shadow ripping his neck apart. "MAKA" Blackstar jumped that was Soul's voice, meaning he was either dead or saved, or both.
"Maka we have to connect now!" Mercy said Maka hesitated "NOW MAKA" mercy yelled the ground under maka started to shake and the sky started to divide Maka reached her hand out to touch the she wolf in front of her but the ground broke from under her Making Maka and the wolf fall into a black abyss. "Maka you have to reach me or else you will get lost in the darkness," Maka reached for the wolf "MAKA!" Souls voice ran through the madness. Maka stretched even more to reach the wolf 'I have to save them' Maka thought as she reached fur brushed her fingertips.
