Now, onward to chapter eight of the fantastic
Lost Souls!
When I finally woke up, I was on a very hard bed with white sheets and a stitched white pillow. I got up and looked around the small room. There was a shelf with jarred things inside and most of the walls were a gray. I saw nothing other than the self that would be in my interest. I went to getting out of the bed when I saw something on the floor by my swinging feet.
I jumped down and grabbed it. It was a paper with notes on it. It read: Her soul is calm on the outside and most of the way in. It is stronger on the inner part, I could barely get through it. The soul wasn't very stable in the very center.
I couldn't read the rest because the hand writing was so sloppy. Professor Stein walked into me looking at the writing really hard. He snatched the paper from my hands. I looked up at him.
"Professor Stein? What's wrong? You don't seem like your normal self." I asked seeing him tuck the paper away.
Professor Stein said, "Call me Stein. You won't be part of the DWMA for a while anyway. What do you want to ask? I can see in your eyes that you want to ask me something."
I asked the first question on my mind, "Have you ever wanted to hurt someone or something more than it was already?"
Stein was taken back from the question and looked to the ground. I saw that he was fighting something he had inside of himself. I went to touch his arm, but he started laughing crazily. I stepped back, accidentally cornering myself against the bed.
Stein rolled his head to looked at me and said, "Oh yes. I have wanted to do so many things to people that I haven't done. I always been that way. What about you?"
"Yes. I have wanted to do that to many people. I hate it sometimes though. I hate the fact that people separate me from themselves because I'm different! Why am I like this? Why can't I be different in another way? To be like others, not really pleasing, but better than this." I started to yell at the floor in the end. I started coughing then.
Stein lifted me back to the bed and knelled down like a good father would to his daughter. Stein then said, "You don't have to change." I couldn't see his face, "I can make everyone else change. I am a scientist after all."
I was watching his face very intently so when he had a smile that was taking over most of his face, I wasn't expecting it. I backed up on the bed, accidentally kicking Stein in the face. As Stein landed on his back from the kick, he laughed like he couldn't believe that a little girl caused him to be like this.
I slowly went to the edge of the bed and looked over the side. I saw Stein with a creepy smile on again, but this time, it didn't look as crazy. I slowly got down and tried to pull him up. Stein was laughing so hard when I pulled him up that, he almost swallowed his cigarette.
I had to use some hidden strength to flip Stein over and make him cough it up. It was really nasty to see what Stein had eaten for lunch. I helped Stein up and he walked to the bathroom. I walked into the main room. I was exploring all the new surfaces as I heard choking from a few rooms away.
I ran in the sound's direction and saw Stein on the floor. I got on my knees next to him and asked him what was happening. Stein answered, "The Kishin soul within you is affecting me. Summon Lord Death."
I thought back to one of the times Stein was talking about calling up anyone in the mirror room. I remembered right before Stein started saying things like his undying mind and other creepy things. I quickly used the number to summon Lord Death.
I told Lord Death what happened and what Stein's notes said. Lord Death looked like he was expecting this to happen. He said, "Vashie. I want you to go to your partner Caseron, and tell him everything. Stay with him, but don't come to school. I don't want you to get hurt by the other students."
I nodded my head and asked, "What about Stein though? I don't think he's going to be okay." Right as I said that, Stein started laughing again.
I looked behind myself to Stein before looking back at Lord Death. Lord Death replied, "It's going to be fine. I know! Try using the calmer side of your soul! That might work."
I did as Lord Death said by relaxing and not thinking of anything other than my soul wave length. I calmed, soothed, and toughened parts of my soul before going to calm Stein's.
As my soul meet Stein's, one of his stitches broke open. Instead of panicking, I retracted my soul slowly. I sat down next to Stein and said sorry very sincerely.
Stein's head jerked up. He turned toward my face and I could tell that the madness was very low then. Stein felt the blood on himself and said, "You go do as Lord Death says. I'll see if I can fix this stitching again."
I nodded my head and walked out of the lab without one glance back. I was so happy to be reunited with my partner that I didn't see anyone that was around me. I did see a few people run though. Once I reached the dorm room door, I just stood there thinking about the worse things Caseron could say.
Right as I was going to open the door, Caseron and kitty cat tackle hugged me. "I know it wasn't very long, but I missed you Vashie. I have so much to tell you! You know the kitty cat? Her name is Blair! Seen as you weren't here, i made a huge meal for the two of us and now the only food left is the cereal."
Blair transformed out of kitty cat form and said, "It's okay though! I bought some groceries! I wanted to get some for being so rude to just appear at your home. If I sound selfish in the least, just tell me. I need to learn some manners anyway! Meow! I am so tired. I'm going to go to bed now."
I watched Blair leave for my room. I looked at Caseron again and just hugged him. He was so surprised that he just stood there. Caseron felt my warm tears rolling down into his black tank top and he raised his hands to my back to hug me back.
I continued to hug him until I felt Caseron twitch. I stepped back a little to see his face. Caseron had his eyes closed and when I untangled myself from him, he grabbed my hand. Caseron's eyes had tears in them. Caseron searched my eyes and had found what he wanted because he kissed me on the lips very lightly.
I closed my eyes just to enjoy this one happy moment when Caseron broke off the kiss. Caseron ran to his room trying to hide his blush. I wasn't even being slightly guarded. I slowly walked to my room turning off all the lights on my way.
When I reached my room, I saw Blair, in kitty cat form, lying on my pillows. I smiled to myself a little as I saw her. I walked in and pushed the door shut. I rested my head on the back of the door until I could feel the heat of a blush growing on my cheeks. I opened the door a little if Blair wanted out.
I got into bed slightly moving Blair, but not waking her. Blair got up yawned and curled up right by my face. Blair meowed loudly when she felt my cheeks flush with every time I relived the short, happy moment. Blair finally just got up and left my room.
I still couldn't go to sleep after the clock hands turned to three A.M. I got out of bed to walk into the dinning room. I saw Caseron, passed out on the table. I smiled at how he was acting like a little boy. I walked over to him and slightly shook his shoulders. Caseron just mumbled something about music and dug his face deeper into his elbow.
I sighed a very quiet sigh and picked Caseron up in my arms. Even though Caseron was slightly heavier than me, I could easily pick him up. I carried him to his room. Once we entered the doorway though, Caseron grabbed my shirt. I realized that he would have been alone if we didn't get Blair this morning and if Stein wasn't effected by my inner madness.
I murmured in Caseron's ear, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to leave you. Even for half a day."
I walked to my room and placed Caseron on my still warm bed. He instantly grabbed one of my pillows. I watched him sleep for a few minutes then rested against the wall. I fell asleep in that position when Blair walked back in to jump up to the bed with Caseron. I fell into another dreamless sleep while staring at my two friends in my bed.
