Why was he sleeping? Why did he hurt? Why couldn't he just keep on sleeping?He opened his eyes and tried to look around without moving. OW. He looked down and noticed that he was shirtless, and there were a lot of stitches in his chest. Sitting on the next bed over was Charlotte, reading her favorite book for what must've been the hundredth time. Even though the book was cheerful, her face was creased with worry. She looked over and sat bolt upright. "I'm so sorry this happened, you're all sliced up, and Lord Death is missing!" "Calm down, Char, How long's he been missing for?" "Since the night you hit your head. Since the night you were controlled by Medusa. Since you figured out we're both half- witch, and we could probably do magic. She wants both of us, so now we always have to be on our toes."
Death City was in a state of chaos. I wondered if Lord Death's disappearance had anything to do with us. Or if he took a long vacation and forgot to tell us. But he can't leave the city, or we'd all know.
A month later, Zander and I were called to Professor Stein's lab. "It's creepy in here." I muttered, as Professor Stein led us to a room under the school. "Since you're both half- witch, you can most likely preform magic. Going to a school that hunts and kills witches, That's not exactly good. So I'm going to teach you, in this special wavelength- sealed chamber, how to incorporate magic into your fighting. The greatest pair in almost ever, Maka and Soul, you've heard of them, had no magic to speak of. So imagine how much more powerful using magic would make you."
Exhausted, Zander and I ascended the stairs to our apartment two hours later. "If this is 'extra lessons' I don't think I really care about magic." "Yeah, but . . . It's kinda suspicious, isn't it? I mean, Lord Death said that neither of us were allowed to use magic, ever, unless HE told us to. I assumed since it was Stein, there'd be no problem-" I closed my eyes and felt out the soul in that part of the school. "It isn't Stein all. It's a different soul, it almost feels like. . . Medusa!
"Are you sure?" "Positive. Even with her Soul Protect on, I can tell. I can tell how she got in- You can't tell unless you're looking for it. But it happened. She got in."
When Zander and I arrived at Heather's house, she was just finishing up a peach. After we explained what was going on, she yelled, "Emiko, come on, we're saving Death and Stein."
Only five minutes after that, we arrived at Brooke's house.(A/N- bet you forgot about her, huh?) We explained the situation and she said, "John you better come here Lord Death and Professor Stein are missing, so we have to go find them, kay?" John almost never said anything, and he didn't now. He nodded, and the six of us headed toward the school.
A/N- Yippee! I finally got enough reviews to give everybody cupcakes! I need suggestions as to what should happen next! Give me ideas! If I use your idea you get an imaginary cookie and a one- shot with a character named after you! But only if the idea is good and I decide to use it!
