Kathleen's POV
"My father's last words?" I hardly managed to say those words. Why did it feel like something inside me didn't want to know this? I just feel like that the little I know, the better.
"You're probably right. The little you know the better." There goes that voice again, only this time it came with a pounding headache that sent me falling into Alex's arms.
"Kathleen!" was the last thing I heard him say before giving into the darkness.
General POV
"Come on Black Star, Soul and Maka should be back from their mission now." Mumbled Kid as the two boys, along with their weapon partners fallowed them down the hall. Black Star continued to complain on how he wasn't picked to go on the mission with them. Further ahead, they noticed Soul and Maka coming towards them.
"Soul!" yelled Black Star as he ran to the pair.
"So how did the mission go? You guys ok?" asked Kid.
"Just a few cuts and bruises, but we're fine. We also managed to save the town." Cheered Maka. Just then, Kid was about to say something when his smile became a glare and everything fell silent.
"Hmm?" she mumbled. She turned around and noticed Alexander walking towards them with an unconscious Kathleen.
"Hey what happened to her?" asked Soul. Kid and Black Star were shocked at Soul's tone of voice. Tsubaki, Liz and Patty also seemed worried. The only people in the group who didn't care were Kid and Black Star.
"Oh, she'll be fine. She just used up a lot of energy in the fight." Alex stopped for a moment and felt the two distant meisters glaring at him with pure malice, "Um anyway, how would you all like to come for dinner tonight? Kathleen should be awake by then and we'd also like to apologize to all of you for before. What do you say?"
"Yeah, if it gets me out of cooking." chuckled Soul. Maka glared at him for a moment then smiled and nodded in agreement.
"We'd love to!" smiled Tsubaki as a sweat drop appeared on her forehead when she heard the distant complaining of a certain blue haired ninja. Liz and Patty agreed as well while Kid stood silently in the background.
"Alright then. See you all tonight!"
-Later that night back at the mansion-
-Kathleen's POV-
I was lying on my bed in the dark, staring up at the ceiling. Shortly after we got home, I woke up and Alexander told me everything my father told him, my father's last words. Everything he told me was all repeating over and over in my head.
-Flashback-
"Kathleen, it's time that you know what your father told me before he died." He stopped for a moment and took a deep breath. He sat me down on my bed and began wrapping my wounds as he began to talk, "You know how it works right? Since your father was a pure blood vampire and your mother being a human and a weapon, their child would come out as one of the three: Human, Vampire, or Weapon."
"Yeah I get all that. My brother ended up being both a vampire and a weapon."
"Right, well you know how growing up, you weren't always in the best health?" he asked.
"Yeah. Father never really let me do anything, but I don't remember much of my childhood anyway. Look, Alex, can you just get to the point?" he sighed and stopped bandaging my arm to look right into my eyes.
"When you were born, you were born a vampire … that's what killed your mother." My eyes widened in shock and I could feel myself tremble.
"W-What are you saying? A-are you saying I was born a full vampire and that because of that, it killed my mother?" my voice was a mess of trembles that I'm surprised I managed to get all those words out.
"You weren't born a normal vampire; it was too much for your mother. You father noticed that the vampire in you was too dangerous to be left alone so he sealed it away which made you a half vampire. In the end, you ended up being more human then he thought." I looked away from his stare.
"And because he sealed away my vampire half, that's why I was always so sick."
"Yeah. After I met your father, he told me all about this and how he was no longer able to trust your brother. He told me to keep an eye on the both of you. Somewhere along the road I realized that I could no longer match my soul wavelength with your brother, but I was able to match it better with yours." He stopped to catch his breath again; "Your father noticed a great improvement in your health whenever I was near you, so that's when he told me to be your weapon partner." he stopped talking again and began to bandage up my leg.
"And this necklace?" I asked in a solemn whisper.
"The night your father died. We were training in the nearby woods that night, remember?" I nodded, not sure of where this conversation was going, "When we saw the smoke rising up into the sky from the town and we ran back as fast as we could, only to find that almost everyone had been slaughtered and every house was on fire. I remember that you ran ahead to your house with me close behind. Once there, your brother attacked us when your father and Sebastian stepped in."
"I remember, he told us to run, but I didn't want to leave him behind. He even ordered you to knock me out and take me far away from there along with Sebastian." I shook at the flashback.
"Yeah, after knocking you out, he handed me something and smiled. That's when Sebastian dragged us out of there and that was the last time I saw your father. Later that night, Sebastian explained to me what this is for." He poked the cross hanging around my neck. "We soon arrived at the mansion here in Death City. While you were sleeping, Stein-Sensei came to us to see if the rumor was true. I gave him the necklace along with a note from your father. That's how Shinigami-sama had it.
If your brother noticed that I had it then, well I'd rather not say. Anyways, the moment your wings appeared, then that means the seal your father created is beginning to break. That cross is what's keeping that from happening."
"So my brother is after the power sealed within me?"
"Yeah, the both of us, but not only us, Maka too."
-End flashback-
Now if only I could put together how Maka fits into all of this. I know her soul is different from others, but could her soul …
"Hey Kat, they're here." Alex appeared at my doorway. I nodded and began walking down the stairs with him.
-Maka's POV-
"Wow, would you look at the size of this place!" Liz yelled. Patty began laughing at her reaction. I heard Soul whistle and Tsubaki gasp. I stood there as if I were paralyzed. That's when the double doors opened and I saw a tall old man open the door.
"Welcome everyone, please step inside and make yourselves at home." He said as he stood aside while we walked in.
"Hey guys!" I looked over at the staircase and saw Kathleen limping her way down the steps while Alexander stood next to her, making sure she wouldn't fall.
"Wow, you guys have a great looking place here!" complimented Liz while Patty ran in circles over in the dining room.
"Thanks. Well, don't be shy, come on in and lets go eat!" smiled Kathleen as she led us to the long dining room table.
"Wow, this place is bigger than Kid's place, right Patty?" said Liz as she looked over to the hyper active girl sitting next to her. Maka and Soul sat across from them while Tsubaki sat next to Maka.
"Hm? Where's Kid and Black Star?" asked Kathleen. I then noticed Tsubaki have an annoyed look on her face and the same goes for Liz and Patty.
"Let me guess, they are still pissed for what happened before." said Alexander.
"Hmph, I don't blame them either. We hurt them pretty bad and we had no right to. Sorry about before Tsubaki-san, Liz-san, Patty-san." She then got up from her seat at the head of the table and bowed. Tsubaki raised her hands and waved them around.
"No, no don't worry about it Kathleen-chan. Black Star is just being a baby about the fight. There's no reason for you to apologize." said Tsubaki.
"She's right. Kid's just mad because you guys broke his record." said Liz in a nonchalant voice. Patty just nodded her head up and down.
"Ahem, is everyone ready to eat?" the butler walked in with a cart with trays on it. It smelled absolutely delicious!
"Thanks a ton Sebby-san!" giggled Kathleen as she tasted the food.
"I'm glad you like it Kathleen-sama." He smiled then walked back into the kitchen.
-General POV-
Outside the mansion in the surrounding forest
"Hey Kid, how much longer?" Death the Kid and Black Star were sneaking around to the back part of the mansion so they could keep an eye on Kathleen and Alexander. Knowing that the two were vampires made them even less trustworthy.
"Hah, we've arrived. Damn this place is huge, and … ugh so very unsymmetrical." He complained.
"Um, Kid? Can you worry more about our friends then the number of windows there are?" Black Star said sounding annoyed. Kid looked back at the blue haired ninja, nodded and then began walking to one of the windows. He looked into it and saw that it looked like the kitchen. Inside he saw a tall old looking butler. Even though the window was closed, he could somewhat hear what he was saying.
"Hm, it's a shame. They seem like such sweet kids, too bad they have to die." Once those words reached the two, Black Star squealed in shock, only for Kid to cover his mouth with his hand and drag him into the forest.
"Holy crap! Kid they are going to eat them!" he panicked. Kid nodded in agreement and then looked up to see a lone dark window. "Let's try to sneak in through that window up there." murmured Kid.
-Kathleen's POV-
Back inside
We were actually enjoying ourselves. We all told stories during dinner, some funny and others serious. At some point Patty began to play with her tomato soup and then pretended it was an airplane, what's worse is that there is still some soup inside. Her sister was trying to calm her down and yet to no avail.
"Um, did someone slip something into her drink?" I asked in an annoyed tone. Maka merely chuckled to herself while Soul tried not to laugh and look like his usual cool and composed self.
"Hehe, time for it to CRASH!" and this is when it all went downhill. Patty had gotten up onto the table and thrown the plate at me. With Alex's quick reflexes, he caught it, but that didn't stop the soup from flying out of the plate and onto my white dress shirt. Some of it also got onto my chin and mouth.
"Oh my, I'm really sorry about this Kathleen." apologized Liz while Patty stepped down from the table and apologized.
"Nah, it's okay. Let me just go upstairs and change." I brushed off the sudden urge to beat the crap out of Patty and limped my way up the long staircase.
-General POV-
Black Star and Kid had successfully snuck into the dark room. They noticed a bed and a bathroom and decided to snoop around, until they heard someone's voice coming from the hallway, headed straight their way.
"Shoot! Come on Black Star, under the bed!" whispered Kid as he dragged him under with him. They had their hands on their mouths to keep them from breathing in any of the dust.
"Geez, I didn't think that Patty would make such a mess." It was Kathleen's voice. They could see her feet pass right by them and next to the hamper. She had taken off her shirt and dropped it next to the hamper. What the boys saw shocked them. The white shirt was covered in a red liquid … blood. Black Star could feel Kid begin to shake in anger next to him.
Next thing they knew, they saw the bathroom light go on and that's when they noticed the stains on her face. That's when Kid seemed to snap and he burst out from under the bed and attacked Kathleen.
-Alexander's POV-
Back downstairs
Everyone had started talking about something funny that happened when Sebastian walked over to me and whispered something into my ear. Before I could respond to it, I heard a loud thump upstairs and a muffled scream. Kathleen! I could tell everyone else heard it too and began running up the stair case with me.
The moment I reached her room, I saw Kid trying to choke her. He had her pinned to the ground and she was only in her pants and bra.
"Kid, what the hell are you doing?" yelled Liz as she ran to him and tried to pull him off her. I was already way ahead of her since I already had Kathleen safe in my arms.
"Geez, what the hell was that for?" yelled Kathleen. That's when the lights in the room went on and Kid noticed everyone standing at the doorway.
"Um, mind explaining what the hell you're doing here and why you tried to kill Kathleen?" I asked annoyed.
"I heard your butler saying how they were sweet kids and it was a shame they had to die. Then she comes up here covered in blood!" he stood up pointing at all the 'evidence.'
"Ugh, put me down Alex. Okay first of all Kid." I put her down and she walked over to the hamper to pick up her shirt, "This is tomato soup. Patty got over excited and threw the plate of soup at me."
"Then what about-" before he could say anything else, Sebastian walked into the room.
"I think I can explain. I was watching my favorite soap opera on the small television in the kitchen. Two of the main characters are kids and they were going to get killed off." He chuckled slightly to himself then walked off.
"Ya see." Yelled Kathleen, "Now, if you all want to live long enough to have desert, get out of my room!" she gave us one of her demonic stares and we all scurried out of the room like frightened mice.
We were all walking down the stairs when Kid mumbled something.
"Hey guys, where is Black Star?" right when he said that, we heard a loud scream and crash sounds.
"Um, that wasn't Kathleen screaming." Was all I said.
"Yep, that idiot just got screwed and not in a good way." Laughed Soul. Even though he meant it as a joke, I noticed Tsubaki's face turn a slight red. Hmph, these guys aren't as annoying as I first thought. Kathleen was wrong; it's not always a good thing to be alone.
Crimzon: -sigh- well that's it for this chapter. I'll try to get started on the next one as soon as I can so until then … PLEASE REVIEW IM BEGGING HERE! REVIEWS ARE WHAT KEEP ME TYPING!
Maka: um what was Black Star still doing in Kathleen's room?
Kathleen: he said that when Kid ambushed me, he decided to hide in the closet so if Kid failed to kill me then he could get the sneak attack.
Maka: Hm, speaking of which, where is he now?
Kathleen: oh, he's in a dark place now –evil smile-
Maka: -looks over at Crimzon-
Crimzon: -raises hands in defeat- hey even I don't know so don't ask me.
Maka: well then, Crimzon doesn't own Soul Eater and review if you want the story to continue.
Crimzon: yep cuz it's only a few more chapters till the grand finally ^.^
