Hello! Thank you for the reviews so far!
I'm so excited to write this chapter!
Yay the black room!
Enjoy! ;')
Chapter 7
Soul's POV
I've been waiting for like an hour. Today we're all going to that club. I'm catching a ride with the rest of the group, since my bike is broken down. That bike is a piece of junk, but I love it. There's nothing better than riding a motorcycle to make you look cool.
We're all riding in Liz's car. She rides this big red van, it's a pretty old car, but has a lot of room in the back. Liz hates having a van, but a at least she's got a decent working vehicle to ride to school, while my bike keeps breaking down.
If only the teachers knew, but I've given them that excuse so many times they stopped believing me.
I check out my clock; 6:30. They're twenty minutes late. I guess that's not to bad. I'm late all the time, but it's a little irritating when I went to the trouble of putting on a tux (we all have to dress fancy cause it a formal club).
I look to see my tie is all crooked. Damn these things were impossible to tie on right. Just as I'm about to fix my tie, something hard hits me in the back of the head.
Ow! What the hell was that?
"YO! HEY SOUL! THE MIGHTY BLACKSTAR HAS COME FOR YOU!" I hear a familiar voice yell.
I look to see Blackstar in a dress shirt with his tie undone, and wearing a pair of black slacks. His blue hair is all messy.
"Hey! Will you shut up? What the hell did you throw at me anyway and wasn't this supposed to be a formal thing?" I ask, fuming.
"He threw a soda can at you, and apparently Blackstar doesn't know the definition of formal. Just looking at how asymmetrical his tie is makes me want to puke." interrupts Kid.
I see Kid wearing just one of the nice suits he usually wears, except this time he's wearing white.
"Enough you guys, we still have to pick up Maka!" yells Liz.
She looks nice. She's in a tight strapless red cocktail dress with red high heels, wearing the same amount of makeup she usually wears.
As I get into the van I also see Patti in a matching outfit as Liz, except the dress is a bit longer, and Tsubaki is in a long white spaghetti strap dress with her hair in a bun.
"Hi Soul!" both Patty and Tsubaki say in unison.
"Hey." I say back.
Liz starts driving towards Maka's house. I wonder what she's doing.
Maka's POV
I'm finally waiting outside by my house, I just glad they weren't already here. Papa just got over his flu. When I was rolling out of the house he started crying like some baby, not wanting to be alone.
So I had to put him to bed like I was the parent. Although even if he was acting like a complete toddler, I can't help, but feel a little bad for him. He did have a pretty bad flu.
I quickly got into my black dress, which was a pain without any help, but I managed. No way was I gonna have papa get me dressed. Doing my pigtails with the ribbons was easy and I almost forgot the gloves, but luckily I remembered right before I left the door.
A big red van then pulls up out of no where. The car looks pretty old, but it looks pretty decent. Great, now I'm probably going to get kidnapped.
"Hey Maka we're here!" yells Patti as she pops her head out the window.
"Hey you like my ride!" yells Liz.
"It's nice, but I might need some help getting in." I say.
Just as I say that the three boys come out. Soul comes and lifts me out of my wheelchair bridal style, which causes both him and me to blush.
"MAKA-CHOP!" I yell as I Maka-chop him.
"OW! What was that for?" he asks angrily.
"P-put me down." I stammer. Ugh I'm stuttering.
"Where? Blackstar and Kid are loading your chair and they have to get it through the door since their is no back door on Liz's van. If I set you down on the ground your dress will get ruined. What are you embarrassed Tiny-tits?" he says with that stupid smug smirk of his.
I Maka-chop him again to my pleasure. He grumbles as he sets me in the van.
Ha! That's your punishment for calling me Tiny-tits Soul Eater Evans.
It feels so weird not being in my chair. I pull myself up straight with my arms. Soul sits next to me to hold me steady. Geez.. my face is red again as he holds me around the waist as I put my seatbelt on. This time though everyone in the car notices my red face, except Soul though. Patti, Liz and Tsubaki smile once they notice my blush, Kid and Blackstar are securing my chair in the back. God, this is so embarrassing! I hope they don't bug me about this later.
When I'm all buckled in Liz starts driving to the club. I'm really excited. I've never been to a club before, maybe this will be really fun.
Soul's POV
My head still aches from that stupid Maka-chop. Hey, but at least I get to see her face beat red as I hold her steady during the drive.
"Do you really have to hold me like that the whole way there!" she whispers in a harsh tone, only quiet enough for me to here.
It takes about an hour to get there, so we should be there at about 7:50. No one is really paying attention to us, so that's good. I won't have to deal with any teasing.
Patti is too busy coloring, while Kid stares in horror of her asymmetrical scribbles, Liz is driving, and Tsubaki and Blackstar fell asleep on each other shoulders.
Good now I have something to dangle over his head.
"Soul! you didn't answer me. Will you just let go of me already!" she whispers again, trying not to get anybody to hear.
"No." I say. My mission to annoy her is a success. For the rest of the ride there all I hear her do is huff and grumble. She's so cute when she's mad, when she's not Maka-chopping me of course.
Maka's POV
When we finally get there my arms are sore. I guess that's one good thing about being in a wheel chair. You never feel your legs get sore, but still I want to feel the relief of stretching my legs after a long car ride. I add it to my list.
Yesterday I created a list of all the things I want to do after the surgery. So far the list read the following in my neat handwriting;
Things To Do Once I Walk Again
Go swing on the swingset at the park you and Mama used to go to
Learn how to dance
Stretch legs
I need to add more things to the list when I have more time. I hug the piece of lined paper to my chest then slip it in the sleeve of my glove, as we enter the building.
The building is huge, it looks like some sort of mansion. The mansion is entirely black and has a gothic architectural theme to it.
When we enter, the floor is consisted of red and black tiles. The walls are red with black curtains drapping over them. Scattered along the edges of the main room are black latern posts with blue lights glowing from them. There is a grand piano in the middle of the room. There are also tables and red comfy looking chairs for people to sit music fills the air. People in fancy attire are dancing and drinking whine.
"I told you this place was nice. Now lets dance!" Liz looks at me to see if its okay, since I can't really dance. I nod, I don't want to stop them from having a fun time. Patti, hearing the word dance grabs Kid and Liz then heads to the dance floor in glee.
"Come on Tsubaki! Lets go!" Blackstar begs like a little child.
I can tell he really wants to dance with her. It's kinda cute.
"Is it okay Maka?" she asks.
" It's fine. Go have fun on the dance floor." I smile. I want to see how Blackstar dances with Tsubaki. I bet he'll jump around screaming the whole time about how godly he is. I'll never know how Tsubaki tolerates him so much.
As I see Tsubaki and Blackstar go towards the dance floor, I notice Soul is still here.
"Aren't you gonna go dance?" I ask.
"I don't like dancing." he answers bluntly.
I wonder why. This place doesn't really seem to enjoy him all that much. He has a lazy expression on his face, like he's trying not to remeber something. I wonder what he's thinking about.
Soul's POV
I didn't like this place the moment I walked in. Something didn't feel right. This place seemed too familiar for some reason. Like I've seen this place somewhere before. I had a strange feeling like I wanted to leave.
That wouldn't be cool though. Maka seemed to like this place. So I better try to enjoy it too.
"Hey, Soul are you okay?" she asked. She looked up at me with those big green eyes of hers. She looked genuinly worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I reply as I pat her on the head. Her worried looks always amused me. Her eyes would always go so wide and big. I could look into them forever.
What was thinking? Did I like Maka that way? I think I did. No, I really did.
She was beautiful and funny. Her eyes would never fail to enchant me like they always did. She was so smart and wouldn't let anything stop her from accomplishing her goals. I liked Maka Albarn.
I couldn't tell her now though. She was going through a lot right now and a relationship would just be right on top of that big weight load.I'll tell her after the surgery.
"Well, If it isn't Soul E. Evans." I hear a voice.
Wait. Is that? No, it can't be her. It can't be.
I turn to see a young woman with short choppy looking blond hair with two long strands braided in the front. Her gold colored eyes peirce into my very soul. She's in a blue dress the goes barley above her knees.
It is her. I can hardly breath. I never wanted to see her again.
"And if it isn't Maka too." she said with the same gruesome smile on her face.
"Oh hi !" Maka said with a smile on her face.
"Oh Soul, this is my physical therepist , Medusa, she'll be helping me walk again after the surgery." Maka continued.
This has got to be some nightmare. There was no way this demon could be the person that will help Maka walk again, but all I could manage to say at the time was,
"WHAT!"
Okay that's it for now.
What's so familiar about the Black Room to Soul and what are his past ties to Medusa?
