Me and Maka walked to the bakery after getting the rest of her supplies to get food. I got a bacon and cheese pasty and Maka had a sausage roll.
"That will be £1:25" the man said, I gave him the money and left, "cheers dude" I waved. "You like it?" I asked Maka, she looked at me and smiled while nodding, "y-yes, thank you sir-Soul" she looked down.
"Haha, it's alright, you don't have to say my name all the time, like I said, take your time" I smiled. "Uh, yeah" she looked up then she smiled. "A tour around the school in next?" "Uh, yeah" so we went to the D.W.M.A.
"Now, um, ah, receptionist" I dragged Maka to Julie the receptionist.
"Hello Julie" I greeted, "ah, hello Soul, shouldn't you be in school?" "I am ain't I?" I smirked, "you should be in class then" she told.
"Actually, Lord Death told me I can have the day off school today so I can show Maka around" "who's Maka?" I revealed her from behind.
"Oh, hello, so you're new here?" Maka nodded, well, you can't blame her. "Do you have any text books spare?" I asked, "um, as a matter of fact I do" then she scrambled through her desk, then too the shelves.
"Here you go, I haven't got all of them though" she scratched her head, "that's alright, she can use mine" I grabbed them.
We walked in the halls, I showed her the rooms she wasn't allowed to go in and the girls bathrooms, I told her to ask Tsubaki to come with her every time she had to go anywhere I can't, like bathrooms. She nodded and we carried on. Miss Marie walked past us.
"Oh, hello Soul, shouldn't you be in class?" she dropped her books, "well, Lord Death said I could have the rest the day off school to show Maka around" we helped her.
"Maka? Who's Maka?" She stood up. "This is Maka Albarn, she's new here. Maka, this will be your new other teacher Miss Marie" Maka handed her books back, "n-nice to m-meet y-you, m-miss" she bowed a bit. "Nice to meet you to Maka, thank you for helping me out" she thanked.
"I heard something happened in Steins class about a girl called Maka, was that you by any chance?" She asked, great, even Miss Marie knows about that. "Um, yeah, that was about her, a guy named Asura, if he ever comes near you and asks if you can do a favour, please don't do it" "sure, why would I and what would it be?" "He will ask you to kidnap Maka" "why?" "He really wants her" "why?" She asked. "We don't actually know why, I think he likes annoying me and making her scared" I said.
"Well he sounds annoying" "he is" it fell silent for a while, until BlackStar ruined it. "Hey you two!" He shouted as he and Tsubaki ran to us.
"BlackStar, keep quiet" I told with a hint of annoyance, "Lord Death said you two could skip school as well?" "Um, yeah" he grinned. "Well, I'm off, see you" Miss Marie waved then walked off.
"You need to learn to be quiet BlackStar, you don't want to get caught, do you?" I told, he shook his head. "Huh, what's the point off being a big star when I can't show it" he scratched the back of his head and moped.
"Anyways, Tsubaki, can you do me and Maka a favour?" "Um, what is it?" She asked. "When Maka needs to go places I can't, like the gils toilets or somewhere like that, can you go with her?" Tsubaki nodded, "thanks" I sighed, as long as I know she's safe.
"So, what have you shown her?" BlackStar asked.
"Oh, just this halve of the school, still got the rest" I sighed after, "it's your first day at school and your skipping, this must be the worst first day of school ever" I lightly smirked, Maka made me jump by embracing me with a hug. "I ne-never th-thought I w-would have a f-first d-day of sc-school s-since I w-was 7" she sobbed. "S-so, th-thank-you for t-today. For le-letting me have a-a f-first day, for t-the ve-very fi-first d-day o-of sc-school Soul" she cried, 'shit, what should I do, was this day really bad? Wait, listen Soul, what she said' I thought. I faced her and saw tears in her eyes, she smiled at me, I smiled back, 'good, they're tears of happiness' I thought.
"Aw, how emotional" Spirit came up, Maka hid behind me. "What ya want Deathscythe?!" I shouted, BlackStar and Tsubaki looked at us in confusion, "he's Maka's father, the one who abused her and kicked her out" I said, they stood guard as well.
"Nice greeting" he smirked as his scythe headed towards us, it was so fast I could just about see it, but luckily BlackStar jumped in front of me with Tsubaki in ninja sword mode, I turned my arm into a scythe.
"Nice greeting, ha, yours is worse" I smirked as I jumped over BlackStar and Tsubaki and was heading towards him, he smirked.
"Hehe" he snickered, "don't you learn Eater?" He put his other arm out and turned that into his scythe and used it to block.
He pushed the other scythe that clashed with BlackStar and it scraped against Tsubaki.
"You've let Maka unguarded" he smirked, I looked back and the blade was going towards Maka, she stood there, frozen.
Spirit snickered, I couldn't get to her fast enough, it was going to go through her chest!
Stein pushed her out the way, but it still scratched the side of her arm and she fell to the ground.
"Spirit! What do you think you're doing!" Stein yelled as he went to Maka's aid.
"What, she deserves it" "how!" Me and Stein shouted. "She's ruining my life from being here" he went for her again but I blocked it.
"If you want Maka! You have to get through me!" "And me!" BlackStar shouted.
"Ha, want to do this out side?! Winner gets Maka!" He smirked, "no!" Both me and BlackStar yelled.
"I'll get Maka's wound fixed up" and Stein helped Maka up, Spirit aimed at Maka and put his blade around her, separating Maka from Stein and everyone else.
"Why would you do that, she's been through worst" he smirked, damn, she's been raped hasn't she, I looked over at Maka who looked wide eyed at me, I think she was trembling.
He moved his blade so it would cut her skin all around her, I heard a yelp come from her.
"Hehe, Maka, come to me" and she just stared at him but when he tightened his grip on her, the cuts got deeper, but she didn't move, not one inch.
"Stop it!" Tsubaki yelled, "what's wrong with you" she began as she turned into her human form, "why, she's your daughter, isn't she?"
"Yeah, she's my daughter, that's the problem" he said as he tightened his grip on Maka, "just come!" He shouted, Kim, Kid, Liz and Patty came out the door, "what's going-" Kim stopped in mid-sentence as she saw the scene.
"What's happening?" Kid asked, "Spirits being a bastard" I said, I saw blood drip from his blade, it was Maka's blood, puddles of it. Maka started to walk towards him, "Maka?" Everyone asked, "hehe, good girl" Spirit smirked.
Stein saw the blood, "blood?" Soon as he said that everyone looked at the puddles of blood and then to Maka.
"Stop this Spirit! She's gonna die of blood lost!" Stein shouted, "aw, it's a painful death then" he smirked as he played with her hair, he tightened his grip and she screamed, "a painful death" he whispered, 'no, this can't happen, I can't let her down, not now' I thought.
"Hey Deathscythe!" I shouted, he hummed in response, "if it's 'let her go' then don't waist your breathe" he spat, the he dragged Maka and pinned her against the wall, he took her black trench coat off and un-buttoned the collar of her shirt.
"Maka!" I shouted, "ah, ah, ah, Eater, don't come any closer" a blade went behind her, around her back really, then he pushed her onto it, and more blood flowed out, her entire body was covered in blood, she screamed again.
"Hey Spirit, you want her to play with her yes?" Stein asked, "yeah, now that she's older I can play with her more" he smirked as he went close to her face, she looked terrified. Everyone but me and Stein were shocked and not moving.
"Yeah, so wouldn't you need her alive!" I shouted, "if you hurt her even more she'll die of blood lost!" Stein shouted, "eh, suppose you're right" then he dropped her on the floor, Maka yelped then she collapsed to the ground, she was on her side.
"Maka!" I shouted as me and Stein ran towards her. Everyone ran to her as well, "is she alright?" Patty asked, "what ya think?" BlackStar asked her, Patty shook her head and looked upset.
"Can you fix her?" I asked Stein, "ugh, so much blood, I gonna be sick" Liz said as she ran to the toilets and Kim followed. "Patty, go and check on them" Kid ordered, "yep Kiddo-kun" and she ran to Liz.
"Lets get her to the infirmary" Stein said as he picked her up. Her eyes closed, it looked like Stein was holding a corpse, it was horrible.
Maka was lying down on the bed with bandages around her small body, I was the only one here now, everyone had left and Stein would come in here once a while to check up, she's been unconscious for a long time now, the only way I know she's alive is her breathing, it's 23:15, Stein suggested I got home but I stayed, I'm not leaving until she is up and out of this bed.
"Uh, how is she?" Spirit walked in all tipsy, I stood guard.
"Why would you care, you're the one who did this to her" "I am her father" Stein then walked in.
"Spirit, what are you doing here?" He asked, "wanted to see my daughter" "you can't, she's in critical condition, get out" Stein said.
"Why is he here then?" He asked, "I'm her guardian now" "have you got a slip to say?" "Not yet, when she gets better I will" I replied, "fine" then Spirit left.
"Thank you Stein" "welcome, how is she?" He asked.
"She still hasn't woken up yet, when she does I'll tell you" I said, "you should get home Soul, I'll phone if anything happens" Stein told, "no, I'm staying" I told, Stein sighed and agreed.
I closed my eyes, only to jump by hearing a scream, that came from Maka.
I looked up and she was sitting up, but still unconscious, she then went back down, Stein ran in here and asked what had happened, my only response was silence, but I did finally reply, I told him I don't know, I told him that she just screamed but was still unconscious. It was terrifying.
Stein checked the monitors but they rated as nothing had happened, well, except for one. Something about a really bad memory or memories smashed into one, like a small nightmare. But there was also something else, he didn't tell me comparing I wouldn't understand, so I left it.
Stein asked me about school, if she had ever been, I said she did when she was 6 years old up until 7, I said about a year, but Stein told me that it's more than a year, I guess it was wrong, I just said a year to see if anyone would correct me, so Maka could, but she didn't, so why? Why didn't she correct me? She's smart enough to talk and stuff, so why would she agree a year even though it was wrong? I wonder.
"Something must have happened in school, that she didn't want to tell anyone, she probably didn't want too much sympathy from you, so she left it at that" Stein told, I agreed, but what? What could've been so bad that she couldn't tell me?
Stein then left the room, it was 00:45 now, I knelt down on the floor and had my arms on her bed, I started to drift, I fell asleep, with a few words that I cannot forget.
Why couldn't she tell me? Why? Why don't you trust me?
Maka?
