CHAPTER 8: Love or Lost? (PART 1)

-MAKA P.O.V.-

I don't understand…

How can the Soul from my dream suddenly become reality?

Every time I think of that dream I shiver but then reality hits and I'm usually ok…

I'm not ok.

Before I even realize, I reach the villa in seconds. I know my tears are probably staining my shirt and cheeks but I try to hold as much of the pain in my chest as I can muster.

Kid, Patty and Liz are sitting at the patio table enjoying their gigantic sandwiches, not too far away from the back french doors that I'm about walk through. I try to hide my rose colored cheeks from their view so they don't ask what occurred on the beach. I'm hoping and praying they don't say a thing to me. Patty is thankfully distracting Liz and Kid with her giraffe drawing from the plane so maybe they won't notice me. I was wrong.

"Maka are you doing alright?" I hear Liz ask behind me.

I can barely whisper an "I'm fine."

I hear a chair screech the floor and I immediately run into the kitchen, through the swinging door, and up the swirled floating stairs. I run down the narrow hallway till I reach a door near the end, with my last name "Albarn" on it in bold lettering. My luggage sits in front of the door and I push it aside, open the door, slam it behind me, lock it and turn around to land on the silk covered king size bed. Before I can do anything, even breathe, the tears come. It almost feels endless. Puddles of warm and cold tears covering the flower patterned silk duvet. My heart just aches at the thought that the person I trust the most in the world would become my worst nightmare.

-SOUL P.O.V.-

Maka runs up the steps to the villa and in seconds she disappears.

What have I done? I'm a horrible person. How could I do something so stupid to the person I love the most?

I want to chase after it her but I don't. I know it won't help anything.

Hehehehe!

He's laughing again.

HAHAHA!

"Get out of my head you demon!" I scream.

You know Soul that I can't! You have black blood and happily I come with it!

"I wouldn't think you in my head is a happy thing you monster!"

Just accept it Soul. This is who you are!

I can never accept Little Orge. All he has caused me is trouble.

I stand up and clean up the picnic lunch and head up to the villa. Patty is playing with her stuff animal giraffe on the edge of the wooden patio and Kid and Liz are standing by the french doors quietly talking to one another. They both shoot a glance at me. Kid looks concerned and Liz looks like she wants to murder me. I'm doomed.

"Do you mind explaining why my best friend is in tears upstairs right now?" Liz firmly speaks.

"I'm unsure myself." I lied.

I try to walk past them, into the kitchen and Liz stops me in my tracks with a hand on my chest. She pushes me away.

"What the heck was that for?" I scream.

"For being the jerk you are!" Liz screams back.

"Guys! Stop fighting! This isn't the time!" Kid says and stand between Liz and I.

"Soul and Maka have a very important mission LIZ and as partners they need to work this out themselves!"

Liz glares at me once more and goes and joins Patty at the edge of the patio.

"Look, Soul. I don't know what you did but you need to fix this. Liz, Patty, and I are leaving to stay in the other wing of the villa and won't be here to help you guys work this out. Go talk to her." Kid says.

Wow, I never knew Kid could be so deep.

"Ok." I say with a sigh.

Kid nods, "You are weapon and meister after all!"

I walk past Kid, through the kitchen into the living room and head up the floating stairs. Walking down the narrow hallway all I hear is silence. Complete silence.

"MAKA!" I yell.

I run down the hallway and reach her room. Her luggage is all over the hallway. I try to open the door and it is locked.

"MAKA!"

TILL NEXT TIME…. Love or Lost PART 2.
