A/N: Here is the next chapter. I now have an idea of where this story is going now I got over my writers block! :D Leave a reveiw and let me know what you think

STEIN'S POV:

There isn't much time left. The wind can still pick back up if we don't get out now. We don't have the time to finish this,

"We have to get moving, now!"

I looked at Marie, addressing her harshly, "Get your car keys and I'll need a small, wet cloth and blanket." She nodded and ran off down the hallway to her bed room.

I glanced back to Black Star, who was standing just behind Soul, "I need you to listen to my every word once we leave or the you'll suffer the consequences." He didn't utter a word, but simply stared at me. His normally blue eyes changed to a teal color.

Finally I glanced at Soul, who's soul seemed to release a nervousness and excited wavelength, "You will also listen to my every word, Soul." He opened his mouth, ready to continue our arguement, but I held my hand up to silence him, "If you want Maka to live, trust me. Just this once and we can finish this later."

His red eyes were full of confusion. I needed him to calm Maka. She would respond the most to his wavelength. Soul was essential to this in order to get Maka the proper treatment. Suddenly I felt it, his soul turned to ripples and then finally calmed. Soul was no longer concerned about the arguement, but for Maka.

He hung his head, in defeat. Finally Marie ran into the living room, "Here!" I nodded and went to my lab. Maka was struggling against the restraints again. Perhaps there is still time left. I went to one of my cabinets and dig around. Where are they?

"Ah." At last, I found my wrappings, "These will keep Maka from fighting so much. Whatever hallucinations she is having, she will fight it or she might claw at her wound. Either way, she needs to stay calm till we get to the academy."

I turned towards the table now, the light shined down on Maka. Her blonde hair stuck to her forehead and she was slowly moving against the restraints on her wrists and legs from undernead the blanket.

Gripping the itchy fabric from my hand, I yanked it off of her. Her shirt was covered in dried blood. Her face was emotionless, as if she was sleeping. She was still lost in her own world.

"Black Star, remove the chains from her ankles. We need to get out of here in the next two minutes."

SOUL'S POV:

Professor Stein handed me a small wet cloth, "You will need to keep this rag on her mouth and nose at all times once we leave. She cannot breathe in any dust. We need to keep her as healthy as possible."

I nodded and watched as Black Star began to undo the restraints on her feet, the chains made a loud clanking noise as they hit the tiled floor. "Can you resonate with her and let her know what is happening?" My teacher asked as he handed Black Star the rest of the wrappings

"I can't. Her hallucinations are making her unresponsive."

He nodded, "Alright, your soul wavelength will help anyways if she doesn't understand what is going on." Professor Stein turned his back and was preparing the stretcher for Maka, "Wrap up her feet tightly, but not in a painful way. Just so she won't try to kick." Black Star nodded, wrapping them just above her black boots.

My soul wavelength will help? She will fight me. Those lies will cause her to fight me and everyone else. I have to do something.

Roughly, I cupped my hands on her face, jerking her so she would see my face, "Maka!" Her eyes fluttered open and she began to tremble. My grip was tight, forcing her eyes to look nowhere else but mine. I hoped they would show how much she meant to me and how much I loved her.

"Maka! We are taking you to the academy. You are going to get better!" She leaned her head and rested her warm left cheek against my right palm, "Soul -" To see her finally address me and her lips barely whispered my name sent chills down my spine, "- my heart..."

"I know, I'm sorry. I'll explain everything soon." I kissed the top of her head quickly and laid her back on the table. Her eyes slowly closed, losing herself in the dream state.

Professor Stein then unchained her wrists quickly as Black Star finished with her feet. I watched Maka, her face slipped of all emotions. I could feel her wavelength reaching for mine. It was very faint, but it was there. I'll make of for everything, I swear.

MAKA'S POV:

The crimson walls didn't bring much comfort to me now. I sat against the wall, clutching my chest. Each heart beat hurt and my veins and nerves stung at my waist. I felt hot and cold at the same time. I could only stare at the other wall across from me.

Suddenly the bubblegum smell returned to me. I covered my ears, trying to block out the familiar voice that was in a light whisper in my ears. "Maka!"

I closed my eyes, my eye lids began to burn from the pressure. The sudden outburst of my name frightened me and I opened my eyes once more. I was laying on my side, my hands were gone from my face. My eyes felt swollen and they hurt to keep open.

What is this?

I blinked again and saw the crimson walls once more. Tears filled my eyes, I am so confused! Suddenly red eyes appeared in front of me and the crimson walls vanished. Calloused, warm hands cupped my face, fingers nails dug into my skin. I was laying down again, staring at his handsome face. His face just inches from mine, "Maka! We are taking you to the academy. You are going to get better!" I struggled to focus on his face, but his face dissolved and all I could see was endles books that also began to fade to the lovely color... His eyes are gone...

Those lovely eyes...

I began to cry again just seeing them. So handsome... Do you enjoy what you've done Soul? I am in this pain because of you. My chest began to hurt again, to the point, I began to shake. I must confess...

"Soul -" I blinked and saw his red eyes once more. His hand was so cold, it brought me a little comfort. -just know I loved you. Even though you never loved me... My throat burned as I continued, "- my heart..."

"I know, I'm sorry. I'll explain everything soon." My heart was always yours... Suddenly I felt lips on my forehead. I fought just to feel them for a few more seconds, but the walls crumbled around me. This illusion of Soul vanished, taking me back through the endless room of books and finally to the crimson room. After a few moments of my eyes burning from being opened for so long. I closed them shut, the moment that they closed was filled with nothing but numbness. The numbness then blocked out the pain of my broken heart and wounds.

I'm just closing my eyes fore a while... just sleep now...

STEIN'S POV:

Black Star lifted her legs as I held her up by her torso. Soul was on the other side of the stretcher, reaching for her hip. She groaned in pain, struggling against Black Star's grip on her ankles.

Once she was close, Soul placed his hands under her hip, keeping her level with the rest of her tied limbs. We laid her gently down on the stretcher and then lifted Maka.

She felt quickly back into sleep as Soul wrapped her in a thick blanket. Marie held the lab door opened as I held the front of the stretcher. Black Star kep the back high in the hair and kept it steady. Soul followed behind without another word. Patty stood next to the front door, ready to throw it open.

I spoke loud, "You two ready?"

"Yeah." Soul answered in a deep and determined voice. I then nodded to Patty, who turned the doornob and threw the door opened. the visibility was just as far, we could see a little past teh cememtery.

The dust stung my skin as Black Star and I ran down the steps. I glanced over my shoulder to my right to see Soul holding the cloth to Maka's mouth, keeping up with us.

Death the Kid ran past us, with his hand covering his eyes slightly as he opened the back door of Marie's car. I moved out of the way as the young assassin and I slid Maka into the back seat. She was in just enough where we could shut the door. Soul ran to the other side of the car and climbed in.

He lifted the stretcher so Maka's torso laid across his legs. I threw opened the driver door and got in quickly. Black Star rolled over the hood of the car and got in just as fast. Soul covered Maka's mouth each time the door was opened.

I struggled to get the key and finally got it to turn. I glanced up at the front door of my place to see Marie, the Thompson sisters and Tsubaki star out the window as Kid walked backwards towards the door. I adjusted the mirrors and yanked the two little pink dice that hung from the mirror, "Hang on tight." I put the car in reverse and stepped on the gas, flying out of the drive way. Then putting it in drive, we flew down the road, keeping the speed low enough so we wouldn't slide.

SOUL'S POV:

I looked down at Maka, her eyebrows were slightly bunched together. Her face was already dirty from the dust clinging to her damp face. Professor Stein struggled here and there on the path up to the academy. There were a few time when we slid but got back to the main road.

Maka suddenly whimpered as my fingers stroked her cheek. Her face was warm, still suffering from her fever. I smiled at her, we're almost there. Just hang on, Maka.

Moments passed and finally we arrived at the academy. The sand storm was so thick, we could not see the top of the building. I got out of the car quickly and ran to the other side as Professor Stein and Black Star pulled her from the car.

Maka was unresponsive as they grabbed each end of the stretcher. I searched her wavelength, but could not find one. The wind stung my face as I held my hand against her mouth and nose. The wind and dust made it harder for me to concentrate of her wavelength. Where is Maka's wavelength? I can't feel it!

Her face showed no emotion now. Her hand and legs didn't struggle no more. I glanced at Black Star, who didn't suspect anything. Then again, he couldn't detect soul wavelengths. Professor Stein must feel it too. I looked up at my teacher. His eyes were focused at the top of the steps. We practically sprinted up them, skipping a few steps here and there.

Panic shot threw me as I thought of the worse that could happen. She can't be dead... I can't feel her wavelength.

The front doors of the academy were in veiw. Professor and Black Star picked up the pace. Finally, we reached the top step and ran for the doors. We watched as Spirit threw open the doors with Sid, "Maka! You guys hurry!" His voice was barely noticable from the howling wind.

I looked down at Maka, there was still no emotions in her soft features... Maka? I glanced up, only to see a pile of dirt in front of me. My foot slid threw the dirt, causing me to trip.

The rag fell from my hands and blew in the wind. I struggled to get to my feet, my knee burning from how hard of an impact I made on the ground. Black Star and Professor Stein continued to run on without me, disappearing into the building.

Spirit watched me with worried eyes, but closed the doors anyways. I stood to my feet and ran for the doors. I shoved them open and ran down the hallway towards the hospital wing. The small laterns that were luminated the hall was dim. Black Star figure was in the dark, leaning against the wall outside the room.

I hunched over, catching my breathe and coughing up dirt. Black Star rubbed the dirt from his face, "We're suppose to wait out here. They're looking her over now." Please be alive. I fell to the floor, closing my eyes, searching for that one wavelength. The one I wanted to feel right now... I wanted to feel Maka's stubborn wavelength once more...

Where is it? I just felt it before we left... Come on!
