Chapter 4 Pretty Much Dead Already

It had been 2 months since me and Sam began training and believe it or not I have improved a lot. I'm almost as good as Sam. Patty saw me that one night, but we havent heard anything abou that, I guess she forgot or no one believed her. But no one has seen me since.

Me and Sam have trained every day and every night for the past 2 months but yesterday Sam told me I was ready, that I didn't have to train anymore. But we havent heard aything from Death so today was my day. A day to relax and sleep.

I had just gotten out of the shower. I went into the kitchen and pulled some popcorn out of the pantry and put it in the microwave. While I waited for the popcorn to finish I lounged on the couch and flipped through the channels looking for a movie to watch. My day was going great until there was a knock at my door.

"Ughhhh..." I complained as I stood up and walked to the door.

"I just can't get a break can I-" I opened the door and Sam was standing there with a smile.

"Soul. Hurry, go get dressed. Death called."

My eyes widened.

-SCENE JUMP- (because I'm lazy)

We were in Deaths room. Sam had her hair tied back as usual and she was wearing all black leather with black combat boots.. if she planned on fighting I don't know how she planned on fighting in that.. but hey.. what ever makes her comfortable. I was wearing casual clothing, black of course so I won't be noticed as easily and I had my cloak on but my hood wasn't pulled over my head.

The room was silent, Death was whispering with Stein and Spirit on the other side of the room while me and Sam stood silently wating.

I opened my mouth about to talk to Sam but I was cut off by a loud roar of thunder, followed by the sound of heavy rain. I swallowed.

"Ok!" Death spoke.

"We have decided to allow you both to go on your first mission together. Of course Sam, you have experience so I'm expecting you to help Soul if he requiers it, but at the same time Soul I expect you not to need help since you finished your training."

Me and Sam nodded.

"Now there has been a spotting of a group of the demons down town, your goal is to kill them before the posses anyone."

"You can count on us Death. We wont let you down." Sam said before tunring around and heading out the door.

I slipped my hood over my head.

"I know I can.." Death simply said before I left to room.

When I walked outside with Sam I froze. It was dark out, the moon was not showing tonight. Thunder rumbled through the sky, lightning flashed as heavy rain fell down on us. The wind raged on.

"Come on Soul we can't wait forever."

Sam took off running, I followed her. The whole time we ran, we were both silent. We eventually ended up on top of the train. I had never been on the train while it was raining so it was a little tougher to stay on it. I allowed the hood to my cloak to fall off.

"Ok Soul, this isn't training! Its the real Deal! Keep your eyes peeled."

"Ok.."

I was looking down at the streets when I saw something weird going on between about 4 dogs. It looked like they were fighting.

"Sam!"

Sam looked at where I was pointing.

"Thats it! It looks like those dags are possesed.. Get ready to jump."

I pulled my hood back on.

"Now!"

We both ran and jumped off of the train and landed firm on our feet but we didnt stop there, we kept running. There were 3 large dogs, their mouths covered with blood, their eyes were crimson red like mine. And on the floor was the 3rd dog, dead.

The 3 possesed dogs spotted us and bared their blood stained fangs at us before they began charging at us.

One of the dogs lunged at me, I quickly ducked and slid under it, before I passed the dog up, I grabbed it by its back legs and threw it at one of the other dogs. Mean while, Sam stepped on one of the dogs heads and pushed herself into the air, she landed on the other side of the street away from the dogs, next to me.

"You ready to do this Soul?"

"We have to kill those dogs?" I asked.

"We have to. They've been possesed. They've already taken one life." Sam looked at the dead dog just feet away from us torn apart laying in a puddle of its own blood.

"Ok, I can do this."

All 3 dogs got back on their feet and contined growling.

"Ok Soul, remember-" A flash of lightning and thunder struck through the sky.

We were taken by surprise. The dogs had already began attacking, one dog tackled me and kept trying to to bite my face off but I held it back by the neck using my arm. I looked over at Sam who was struggleing with her own dog.

Usually we would be able to easily kill off the dogs but since they werent normal dogs, they faster, smarter and stronger. I had one dog on top of me and Sam had the other dog but where was the third?

I looked over to my right to see the third dog pacing back and forth grwoling baring its fangs at me. Whithin seconds the dog charged at me. With my free hand I grabbed the dog by the scruff and held it down with all my strength. I tried to keep away from both dogs as the were both trying to rap my face apart.

"S-Sam! A little help?!"

"Just a second!"

I glanced at the dogs snapping at my face.

"I may not have a second!"

No later then a second the dog on top of me flew off. I looked over at Sam. She had gotten a hold of her dog and threw it at the dog on top of me.

"Thanks!"

I stood up, still holding the third dog by the scruff. I lifted the dog and threw it against the ground as hard as I could. The dog let out a yelp but it was still alive. It stood up limping a little it went and stood next to the other possesed dogs.

I looked at Sam as she pulled out a pocket knife. Rain began pouring down even more making it harder to hear.

"Okay. Soul, since I'm the only one with a weapon, I'll take care of the dogs if you distract them! Ok?"

My eyes widened. I smirked showing my shark like teeth as I tugged down on my hood to where only my grin was showing. I let my right hand drop next to my body.

"Theres on thing you've forgotten about me Sam."

Sam looked at me wide eyed, she looked a little scared. I held my left arm straight out.

"I am a weapon." I transformed my hand into a scyth.

All 3 dogs charged at me. The first one was fast, but I was faster. I simply moved over to the left, easily dodging the charging dog, as it ran by I Stabbed it in the back, causing my blade to go through its body. The dog let out a shreik but it doon died.

As I was pulling my blade out of the first dog another lunged at me, I lifted up my leg and kicked it as hard as I could, the dog went flying back hitting the third dog they went flying backwards into another building.

"S-Soul..."

I removed my blade out of the first dog, blood trickled down it and dropped on the pavement. Me and Sam diverted our attention to the other 2 dogs. None of them were standing. I transformed the blade back into my hand.

"Lets go see."

Sam nodded. We both cautiously approached the 2 dogs. Neither of them were moving. They were both dead.

"Soul.. you did it. You killed the demons."

"Y-yeah I did but I also killed 3 dogs..."

The rain had completely stopped at this point but thunder still raomed the sky.

Sam placed her hand on my shoulder. "Soul. Once you are possesed you're gone. You're pretty much already dead. Its as if your soul had been pushed out of your own body."

"So the dogs were already dead?"

Sam nodded.

"Ok.. I'm still not proud of what I did.. but atleast the demons are dead."

"Ok.. now lets get back to Death and tell him we-"

Sam stopped speaking when we both heard a loud scream.

"That sounded like it came from this way! Come on!" I yelled.

I took off running, leaving Sam behind.

"Soul wait!" Sam yelled but I ignored her.

I ran and ran, I took a shap turn around a street corner and froze. What I was before me was horrific. There was a grown woman on the ground dead in a pool of her own blood, she looked like she had been stabbed repeatedly... and on the ground a few feet from the woman was alittle girl, she looked no older than 6, she was twitching and going crazy. I backed up a little when I saw a group of distorted looking figures. They stood taller than 6 feet, they were dark like shadows, their eyes were crmson red, they made a uncomfortable noise, it was like a clicking sound kind of like a bat but louder. They saw me. But only one approached me.

The Demon pushed me agaisnt the wall and looked at me. MY heart was beating so fast I felt like I was about to pass out. It looked at me directly in the eyes for a couple of minutes until it opened its mouth. I closed my eyes tightly expecting it to rip my throat out or worse, posses me but no. It shreiked loud. It sounded like a thousand screams of agony and pain, almost like I was in hell. Then I felt like the thing that was in front of me seconds ago was gone. I hesitantly opened my eyes, the creature was gone, all the creatures were gone. I looked over to the side were the bodies were but all that was there was the dead body of the woman.

I was about to go check fro a pulse when I felt something grab my arm and pull me into the alley that was next to me.

"Soul!"

"Sam? How did you?"

"No, shut up. Do you wanna tell me what that just was?!"

"What are you talkimg about?!"

"I'm talking about that. You were surrounded by at least 10 of those things but not a single one of them attacked you. Why?!"

"I-I dont know?!"

Sam's eyes widened, she grabbed my face and pulled me close to hers.

"It's your eyes!"

"M-my eyes?!"

"Yes! Their as red as theirs! They think your already possesed!"

I pushed her hands away from me.

"Well if thats the case then how come the dogs attacked me?"

"Well I'm not sure?"

I rolled my eyes. "Ok believe what you want but theres a dead woman out there and we need to check her body and not to mention theres a missing body, we have to ind that as well."

I began walking, Sam followed me. Just as I was turning around the corner from the alley I bumped into something small. I looked down and I gasped. It was the little girl from earlier. She held a blood stained dagger in her hand, and her eyes were red...

Before I had a chance to react the little girl spoke with a demonic voice. "I found you." Then she laughed in a normal little girl voice.

"Soul! Look out!" Sam screamed. But it was too late. The little girl had stabbed me in my right thigh.

I let out a loud scream as I fell onto the ground. Sam ran to the little girl and held her by the wrists. The little girl was pretty weak but she put up a fight, but Sam did not let go.

"S-Soul! Hurry and get that dagger out of your thigh!" The litte girl punched Sam in the face.

"Ugh!" It sounded like it hurt but Sam still held on.

I reahced for the dagger in my thigh, but the slightest touch sent a sharp pain through out my leg.

"Ahhh-FUCK!" I yelled.

"I'll have to kill the little girl!" Sam stood up and slammed the little grils head against the wall. The little girl fell flat on the ground, she wasnt dead but she also wasnt moving.

Sam was breathing hard. She looked at me like she was pissed and casually walked up to me grabbed the dagger and pulled it out with one tug.

I yelled a little but got over it. I put my hand over the wound trying to stop the rapid bleeding. Sam ripped off a peice of her shirt and wraped it over my thigh.

"You should be good..."

Sam looked a the little girl.

"I have to kill her now.."

Sam out her foot on the little girls head and began pushing down. As soon as she started putting oressure on the girls head, the little girl began screaming at the top of her lungs. Me and sam covered our ears. But over s covering our ears and the loud screaming we heard a cracking sound and the screaming stopped. Sam cracked her skull.

We uncovered our ears.

"What the hell was that?!" I yelled.

Sam looked at me with fear in her eyes.

"We need to go!"

She ran to me and helped me stand. As I stood I grabbed the dagger I had been stabbed with earlier.

"HURRY!" She yelled.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" I argued.

"They're coming!"

I knew exactly what she was taking about I didn't have to ask. Me and Sam looked behind us and to our expectations, there they were. The demons. Coming at us at full speed.

"Sam!" We stopped running. Sam looked at me.

"Look out!" Sam pushed me away from her, I fell on the ground as she was tackled by the minerature horde of Demons.

I looked up, Sam was screaming. Yelling, begging for them to stop. She was struggling and tryign to swat them away and kick but her attempts were futile.

"SAM!"

She didn't reply she just kept screaming as the black coud circled her. Even though Sam screamed for help, I knew at this point it was too late. I closed my eyes and looked away until the screaming stopped.

I opened my eyes but I didn't want to look. I stood up slowly and turned around. Sam was lying on the ground lifelss, she had cuts and bruises all over her body, her clothes were torn. I slowly limped towards her. I fell to my knees and plaed her head in my lap.

"Sam.. I-I'm sorry." A few tears fell down my cheek.

Sams eyes were closed but she was breathing. I placed the dagger against Sams head and waited.

Around 2 minutes later, Sams eyes twitched a little and then... they opened, but her eyes were no longer a dark brown but now they were crimson red.. like mine..

Without hesitation I peirced the dagger in Sams head, killing her quickly and painlessly.

"I'm sorry..."

I removed the dagger and threw it to the side. I lifted up Sam's now lifeless body and slowly carried her all the way back to DWMA.

I walked into the Death room. Lord Death turned around.

"Oh no! Not good! Not good!"

Stein and Death rushed over to me. I fell to my kness and layed Sam down on the ground.

"The mission has been a failure..." I faught back my tears. " Four dogs were killed.. 3 of them possesed. One woman killed by who I assumed to be her 6 year old daughter who was possesed, the girl is dead."

I then looked up tears streaming down my face.

"Sam has carried out her duty... fighting for man kind until the very end..."

I stood up turned around and then limped to the nearest door. I pulled out my key and walked inside and locked the door. As I walked in, I heard the movie on the TV playing the beeping of the microwave, I ignored both and let the noise continue. I took off my cloak and shirt and threw them on the ground in the living room. I went into the bathroom where I opened the cabinent and stitched up my wound then wrapped it.

I took a shower then got dressed. I walked into my bedroom and sat down on the end of my bed. And thought to myself.

"I'm weak.. I let Sam die... There are only 2 girls I cared about in this world. My friend Sam.. And the girl I love, Maka."

I looked up and walked to the window in my room and looked out it.

"I don;t care what Death says. I'm going to see Maka whether he likes it or not... I just can't let her see me or know that its me.. until I know she's safe.. I will protect her."

Tears began streaming down my face again. I clutched my hand into a fist.

"I won't let Maka get hurt! I swear that on my own life."

Ok sooo was this sad? Nooo Soul did not love Sam, she was just his friend and he cared for her. Next chapter you guys will go crazy! I can't wait to write it! If you have any ideas let me know. Necxt chapter will be posted around Saturday 5/10/14
