Soul Eater and all of its awesomeness don't belong to me. . . It belongs to someone else T^T

Soul: Are you still beating yourself up over that?

Me: *Sniffle* Y-yes!

Soul: *Sigh* Fine you can own me

Me: *Jumps up and down excitedly* YAY! *GLOMP*

Soul: *Blushing* Get off of me woman!

Chapter 10: I Will Find You

Tuesday, 6:45 P.M.

Maka's POV

What in the hell had just happened to me?

One minute I was watching television curled up against Evans when everything went pitch black. I don't know what I did, could it be that my life was finally coming to an end? I couldn't see anything, why couldn't I see anything? It was so cold, I'm alone again. Wait I was alone before? Yes it was all coming back to me now, the Kishin the madness, the knife. What about the knife, I wasn't scared of knives. Yet why did I feel so scared when that word came to mind? I was a scythe meister, I was used to wielding large blades, larger blades that a knife! Yet for some reason this was a different kind of fear, I didn't fear my own safety, I feared someone else's.

What happened to the knife? Why am I so scared of it? I was so confused. Wait, I can see it now! I threw the knife at Asura, but it hit someone else, someone who was dear to me. Who was it? Why is their face blurred? It's my partner, the one I love, the one I kissed, the one I can't live without!

Yet why can't I remember his name?!

What's your name?

Maka Albarn

Seventeen

Why couldn't I remember?

Snow white hair

Remember!

Muscular broad chest with a scar slicing down it diagonally

Staring into those deep red eyes

REMEMBER!

"MAKA!" His voice yelled in my head

I opened my eyes and looked into the center of a storm of red

Soul

Saturday, 4:05 A.M.

Soul's POV

She was here all along, at last I found her. I stared into those deep green eyes and felt the weight that had been pressing on my chest suddenly lift. She was alive; I was going to save her.

Stein suddenly stepped in front of me, blocking my view of her and looked at me with sad eyes. What was he doing? I needed to see her! I needed to see those eyes.

"Soul Eater, don't look." His monotone voice warned

Confused as to why he would say that, I pushed him aside and looked at Maka and saw exactly what he meant. When I first saw her, I was staring at her eyes only. Her body was exposed with no cloth covering her. Raised black scars trailed down her smooth skin and angry red welts covered the burned area. The body of the woman that I loved was mutilated with scars, her breath coming in shallow gasps and moans escaping her lips from the pain that the burns were causing her. To say that I was angry was an understatement. I looked at the witch who was hovering in the air and knew that Asura's soul was in her. He hurt my Maka; he tore her away from me and hurt her to no end. I licked my sharp teeth and stared at Asura with hunger deep in my eyes.

I wanted his blood.

Without thinking I charged at Asura and was hit with the force of a massive gale that roared to life in the room. A gate was stationed at the far wall and was beginning to slowly open, yanking me towards it. I heard Asura laugh in the witch's voice and look at me with dark humor etched into his eyes.

"You are too late, victory is mine." He sneered

I watched as shadowed arms escaped from the small opening in the gate and slithered their way to Maka. They carved at her skin with their talons, raking bleeding cuts throughout Maka's body as she screamed in terror and pain. I had to do something; I had to stop this before they reached her soul. Thinking fast, I ran towards Maka and felt something trip me, I looked down and saw a plant that looked like sage wrapped around my ankle. I transformed my right arm into a scythe and began hacking at the plant in order to free myself.

A loud wail erupted from one of the hands as it clawed in the air until it vanished from this world, leaving a crack in the gate. I saw Asura start towards me; his hand rose in the air for some sort of spell that would strike me down when Stein charged at him full speed and hit him with Soul Menace. They grappled on the ground, Asura struggling to get to me while Stein pinned him to the floor.

"Soul, listen to me! You need to destroy those plants! They are somehow connected to the way that the gate was summoned! Destroy all of the plants and the gate will disappear!" He yelled against the wind

I heard Maka scream again in pain, her eyes clenched as she tried to escape this hellish nightmare.

"SOUL!" She cried

At the sound of her voice in pain I felt my legs spring into action. One by one I sliced through the plants keeping the gate in this world while Stein fought to subdue Asura. I lunged for the last plant when Asura broke free of Stein's grip and raced towards me. With a single swipe I destroyed the last of the sage plants and watched as the gate exploded into millions of glistening shards. A sharp pain lanced through my shoulder as Asura stabbed me with a scalpel, but in the end I had won. I saw Maka collapse onto the table and Asura scream out into the night. He whirled on me; hate shining deep into his eyes as he raised the scalpel again to strike.

I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the sudden impact when I heard the knife enter through flesh, but didn't feel the pain. I opened my eyes and stared widely into the same world of green that I saw the night that Maka had left. She was in front of me, arms wrapped around my torso as she shielded me from Asura's attack. I felt tears prick my eyes as I stared at the blood blossoming from the now open wound in her back.

"I love you Soul." She whispered before she collapsed into me

I started to shake violently as I pressed her tighter to me. No! This wasn't how it was supposed to end! I was going to save her! We were going to have a happy ending like all of those fairy tales and live together forever where not even death itself could tear us apart.

But this wasn't a fairy tale; this was the harsh nightmare of reality. There were no happy endings here, only pain and suffering. I stroked her blood soaked hair and began to rock her back and forth, praying with every fiber in my being that she would come back. She was violently ripped out of my grasp by the Kishin as he grinned at me, madness tearing me apart.

"Tell me Soul Eater, how does it feel to watch the woman you love die right in your arms?" He laughed as he threw her body on the ground and her skull make a sickening crunch on the concrete below. Tears were pouring down my eyes in torrents as I punched the ground I was sitting on.

"DON'T TOUCH HER! Don't you dare touch my meister!" I screamed at him

I saw as he pressed his foot against her chest, standing over her like a mountaineer would a rock.

"She is gone, what does it matter now." He laughed

I heard a shuffle in the corner and saw a beaten up Stein slowly raise himself to his feet and stare at Asura with the oddest expression that I have ever seen.

"Have you gotten rusty in your old age Asura?" He snickered

I saw as shock passed through Asura's features as he stared suspiciously at Stein.

"What are you going on about Stein?" He hissed

Stein nodded towards Asura, tempting him to feel the pulse in her neck. I saw Asura lean over Maka's body and press his two fingers against her pulse, his eyes growing wider at the results.

"She is still alive."

My heart suddenly burned with hope and I felt the sadness wash away. She was alive! I had succeeded! She was saved!

I heard Asura cackle madly into the night and look at me.

"Looks like my Soul Sacrifice might just work after all."

I watched in horror as he slung Maka's limp body over his shoulder and blast a hole through the wall, creating the perfect escape route.

"NO!" I yelled as I lunged towards him, trying to prevent him from escaping

A white light seared my eyes, making everything white washed and me unable to see anything. When I opened my eyes, Asura was gone and Maka with him. I felt Stein walk up behind me and pat me on the shoulder.

"There was nothing you could do." He said softly

I felt myself sink to my knees and hold my face in my hands. She was right there, I could have saved her.

But now she was gone.

I heard Stein light a cigarette behind me and the screw begin to turn in his head.

"What should we do now Soul?" He asked

I rose up from the ground and stared at him, determination sparking furiously in my eyes.

"I would think it very obvious Stein; we are going to find her. And when we do I will hold her tight and never let her go." I growled

Stein chuckled and brushed the dirt off of his coat.

"I guess it's just you and me then huh? We better hurry up if we want to get her back in time." He said as he walked slowly out of the cell.

I stared up into the sky, watching the moon laugh mockingly above me.

Hold on Maka, I will find you.

And this time I WILL save you.

~End of Chapter 10~

Reviews are better than having a massive showdown in the dungeon underneath your school :D

I LOVED THAT CHAPTER! We should have more double digit premier chapters more often!

Soul: A storm of red huh? That was some goofy comparisons you made.

Me: I tried to make you seem more masculine! Would you have preferred that I said: "Red the color of a rose"?

Soul: *Mumbles* no

Me: Good! Then stop complaining!
