Authors note: Hello guys so this is the third chapter I will be posting this week and I hopefully will be posting more. I also plan on making a new story once I get farther along in this one. I might also be posting a new story on wattpad if I get time two weeks from now. And please remember if I don't post a new chapter it means 1 of 3 things. 1 I have tests and have been up to my neck in homework. 2 I got major writers block or 3 I'm sum place without Wi-Fi. Other than that I will be posting something at least so as not to keep you in the dark on the story. Another announcement is that we will be getting to the good stuff in a couple of chapters where we skip a few years to when Soul and Alice are all grown up as teenagers. So only a few more chapters till that. Sorry for the long Authors note. And now a word from our favorite book worm… MAKA ALBARN!
Me: So Maka how have you been? Read any good books recently?
Maka: Oh I'm so glad you asked. I'm reading this one book about this prince who starts to fight this zombie king and…
Me: Hold on Maka you can tell me later. Right now can you please say the disclaimer before I box my ears in?
Maka: Fine. Geekgamerchick does not own soul eater or any of its characters. There, Happy now.
Me: Very. Now the time you all have been waiting for...
Blackstar: ME! NOW MY LOYAL PEASENTS, KNEEL BEFORE YOUR GOD!
Maka: *Maka chops Blackstar's head.* Now I can hear myself think.
Blackstar: *blood squirts out of head as he lays on the ground knocked out.*
Me: *takes a step away from the two* ….. Okay then….
Blackstar: *moans full of pain*
Me: *looks from Maka to Blackstar then back to Maka.*
Maka: What?
Me: Oh… Uh… N-nothing… *clears throat*… now back to story…
Soul POV
I get downstairs and see Blackstar waiting for me at the bottom of the steps. It was 7:00 P.M. in the afternoon, time for my lesson with Dr. Stein. I wonder what this guy will teach me. I also want to know how he got that screw stuck in his skull. I walk down to the welcoming office to find Stein there waiting for me. He doesn't seem to look at me but looks past me instead. I turn look behind me and see Blackstar staring at Stein like a deer in the headlights. He seems frozen in fear that I walk back to him. I take his arm and pull him back to our room. My lesson might be delayed but I don't care. I know somethings up with him. I open the door to our room and lock the door behind us. I turn around and look at him. He has his head down as if ashamed. I just stand there waiting for him to explain the sudden act of surprise. After a while of waiting he finally speaks. "So you know Stein too uh" he said so softly it was almost a whisper. I have to think for a moment, Blackstar said "you know him too?" that means he's met stein. So I can finally find out what's up with him. "You know him? How do you?" I ask all too quickly. He looks at me and smiles his signature smile.
"Well you see, every kid here knows OF Professor Stein. But no kid has ever been brought here by him. Except for me. He brought me here, taught me a bit and said to keep at it until I got older."
"What happens when you get older?" I asked
He smiled at me and pointed at one of the many posters on his wall "You go to Death's Weapon and Meister Academy. The best place to go. They teach everything from the history of the city to how to fight kishens and collect kishen souls."
I stare at the poster on the wall. It has a strange looking building with red spikes and a huge freaking staircase leading up to it.
I look at Blackstar and am about to ask what a kishen is when I hear a knock on the door. I head over and see Miss. Ginny in the doorway.
"Hello boys, sorry to disturb you but Professor Stein has requested to see Soul for the rest of the afternoon. He has assured me that you will be brought in time for supper." She said so politely it warmed my heart.
"Okay Miss. Ginny I'll be down in a minute." And with that she left the room.
I glanced back at Blackstar as he was smirking at me. "I guess I'll be seeing you in school in a couple of years."
"I guess so." I waved goodbye as I exited the room. I closed the door behind before barreling down the staircase. I have to dodge kids so not to run them over and get down in record time. I get to the reception office and see Professor Stein there, leaning on the wall with a cigarette in his hand and a lighter in the other. I look over at Miss. Ginny and wave goodbye, promising I'll be safe. As we head outside I see a little girl with pigtails and a red dress sitting under a tree. I slow down to get a better look at her. She has green eyes and is about my age. She's reading a book that is the size of a dictionary, it could have been a dictionary for all he knew. She looked up from her book and smiled at him. He smiled back at her.
"Hi what's your name?" I asked
"My name is Maka, Maka Albarn. What's your name?" she asked right away
"My name is Soul, just Soul." I said to her with a sort of dorky smirk on my face. I didn't want anyone to know my real name, not yet.
"Okay just soul it's nice to meet you. I think your dad may be waiting for you though." She says pointing to Stein.
I give her a quizzing look and explain to her that he's not my dad. "Well than what is he then." She asks a bit confused. But who wouldn't. I have to think a second to come up with something. "He's my mentor" I say. I look at him and he seems to be waiting patiently but I don't want to test it. I say a quick goodbye and head to him. I don't pay attention to where we're going. All I can think about is that girl. Maka Albarn. I hope I meet her again soon.
