Chapter 7
Blue to Black
I collapsed on the floor, gripping my chest in agony. My body tensed all over as the pain passed through my joints and muscles. My body started to glow black and I felt my eye change as blue liquid splattered to the ground. My body froze. I was unable to move as my body began to float on its own. I was floating in an up-right standing position, seeing Soul and Stein stare at me perfectly with wide eyes.
Everything sort of turned into a daze after that. Blurred objects moved back and forth. Mumbled words flew around the air as the numbness froze me from head to toe.
"M-Maka." Soul took a hesitant step towards my frozen body.
The thing inside me let go of my heart, but the pain was still there. My body continued to float while the patch of blue liquid on the floor gradually got bigger as it continued to run down my cheek. I felt it move again. It moved away from my tortured heart and towards the top of my skin.
Blue droplets sprayed past me as the thing broke through the layer of skin in the middle of my chest. My eyes widened as the creature hit the ground, baring its fangs. It was a black snake. I couldn't scream since the sound hitched in my throat. I fell to the ground and my head rolled to the side. Blue blood dripped from it's fangs before it suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Maka!" Soul ran towards me but Stein stopped him with a block from his arm. "Don't!" Stein yelled. "If you touch her when she's in this current state then you could get infected too!"
"But-"
"Soul. Get me the needle from the top draw to your right, now. Hurry!" Stein commanded the boy.
My vision blurred slightly, but I could still see what was happening. Even though the snake had ripped through my chest, the pain was no longer there. I focused on the patch of blue blood that had dripped from my eye earlier. It started to fade as a thick black replaced the now non-existing blue. I gasped. It looked just like black blood.
Heavy footsteps padded behind me as Stein knelt in front of me. I focused on the object in his hand, a needle. He lifted it up before thrusting it into the small puncture wound in my chest. My shallow breathing turned into sharp breaths as he pulled the handle, bringing black and blue liquid out from my body.
"What are you-" Soul was about to yell but was cut off.
"I'm taking a small sample of the liquid. It looks like the snake injected her with some sort of venom." Stein said. "I can tell what the snake injected into her with this."
The wound on my chest felt strange. The pain had vanished all of a sudden and it felt like my flesh was stretching over the puncture. "S-Stein..." I coughed, tugging on his baggy white sleeve.
"What-Your wound is healing!" He said shocked. "How is this happening?"
"Stein? She'll be ok though, right?" Soul came up behind him.
"Looks like it." He sighed, ruffling his hair. "I'll just have to keep her overnight to see if anything happens."
"I wonder how the snake got into her body in the first place." Soul wondered.
"Through her eye probably. Thats where the blue substance was coming from." Stein said.
"I know who sent this snake. But I want to know what it has done to Maka." Soul replied with an edge of anger to his voice.
"Theres nothing I can do at the moment other than wait till morning. We'll see what happens then." Stein said, picking up my numb body.
He placed me back on the soft rectangular bed, pulling the blanket up to my chin. "Rest for a bit Maka." He patted my head before sitting down at his desk, inspecting the needle with the venom in it.
"I'll be here all day Maka, so don't worry about a thing." Soul said to me.
"Thanks Soul." I replied before closing my eyes. But something was bothering me, stopping me from sleeping. I didn't know what it was, but I had a feeling that something was going to happen very soon.
A figure stood in the darkness of my eyes. Her short hair hanging back while the two long threaded parts twirled around each other, down her chest. The black hood covered her eyes, but her smirk was clear and showing as she stepped forward. But I knew who she was already.
Medusa. She was here in the darkness of my drowsiness, smirking away with all her might. "Hello Maka."

Symm: Yay! Tomorrow is the last day in school before the summer holidays! Can't wait! Plus all I've got to do over the summer is my art homework. I'll enjoy doing that though since its one of my chosen GCSE's! What is everyone doing over the summer holidays then? I'm not going on holiday anywhere this year. I'm only going up to Scotland for three days since my Auntie is getting married. This will be my first wedding! But the drive up will kill me! It's 9 hours long. 9 hours in a cramped car with my brother, Jordan who spreads out as much as popular to piss me off, and my parents yapping on about rubbish. Kill me now -.-
