Death Eaters

Chapter 8:

Chrona and Ragnarok? Protect the Meister?

Every night...every morning...it was always the same...Luna would be screaming her head off and always drenched in sweat. Soren watched as his partner's face filled with pain and she let out another blood curdling scream. Soren wanted to help. But she always said that it would get better...it always got worse though...

The same with Kaido. Soul didn't know what to do. He had just got off the phone with Soren and found out his sister was in the same situation. What they both didn't realize...was when they woke up...nothing would be the same again...

"Look how hard they try to resist the Insanity that the Black Blood is putting them through." Yachi, the black haired and yellow eyed witch chuckled. A man with white-blue hair with a frog hat on only nodded as a were-wolf girl with brown hair sighed.

"They will come to me. Then we can use them to get what we want because they don't want to hurt their friends right?" Yachi let out another chuckle.

Luna was lying on the couch. She had just woken up covered in sweat. Her throat hurt from all the screaming and yelling she did while she was sleeping.

"You want anything?" Soren asked. Luna mumbled a no. Soren sighed. Luna closed her eyes and tried to remember what her nightmare had been about but couldn't recall. Luna heard Soren open up a cabinet then close it. Soren came out of the kitchen and handed Luna a cup full of tea.

"It'll help you relax. What were you dreaming about that caused you to scream and yell these last couple of nights?" Soren asked as he sat down on the couch his legs overlapping Luna's who was still sprawled out all over the couch. Luna lifted her head and took a sip then set it on the coffee table.

"I don't know. All I remember is a chuckle..." Luna told him. Luna thought for a moment. Yes. She had heard a very dark, cold and frightening chuckle. But she wouldn't say that...that would be...uncool.

"Kaido's been having the same problem you know." Soren told her. Luna lifted her head from the pillow she was resting on.

"Really?" Soren looked at Luna.

"She's been screaming, yelling, hallucinating even." Luna dropped her head back on the pillow but not before swallowing down the rest of the tea.

"What has Dr. Stein said about it?" Luna asked knowing that Soren and soul had both gone to Stein to see what was wrong.

"He doesn't know. He's still looking into the problem." Soren answered.

"We might as well go that mission today. The one Lord Death gave us yesterday."Luna told him getting up. Soren stood up and retrieved his black trench coat. Luna had already slipped on her trademark yellow and black sweater. Then they left, they jumped on Luna's motorcycle and hoped that they would complete this mission.

"Yachi!" the white-blue haired man ran up to Yachi.

"What is it Eric?" Yachi asked the frog witch.

"Chrona says that the weapon is hungry." Yachi smiled.

"And that white haired girl is with her Meister. Let's see how well she reacts when "our" weapon scream with insanity hmm?" Eric nodded. Yachi sat down crossing her legs and watched her "victims" in her crystal ball as they ran through the now deserted streets of some city.

"That was the last one right?" Luna asked as she held the Kishin egg.

"Yep!" Soren nodded. Luna smirked then swallowed the soul down.

"Thanks for the meal!" Luna smiled.

"I'll go bring the bike around kk? Just wait on the street" Luna said as she dug her hands in her pockets and started to walk away.

"Wait!" Soren called out and turned towards a church. Luna looked over her shoulder and stopped.

"What's wrong? We got the last one." Soren blinked.

"There's a bunch of irritated souls in that church." Soren said.

"We'll do it later. It's Friday night." Luna said.

"No! We're students of the DWMA. It's our job to see what's going on." Soren told Luna.

"Fine." Luna said as she hopped down from the roof. Soren watched as she brought her motorcycle around. Soren jumped down then hopped on the bike as they set off for the church.

IN THE CHURCH

"My blood is black." A girl with light pink hair smiled as her sword screamed.

"You can have them now...Ragnarok." the girl said. The sword smiled before screaming again.

Soren stood in front of the church's doors. He was terrified. He could no longer feel the souls.

"What's wrong Soren?" Luna asked as she stood beside him. Soren gave her a small smile.

"Nothing. Let's see what's going on in this church." Soren then placed his hand on the door then pushed it open. There stood a young girl with light pink hair and pale blue eyes. She held a sword.

"See? The doors open inward." The girl smiled. Luna and Soren stepped in as the doors closed shut behind them. Soren and Luna's eyes widened when they saw the sword swallow the last soul.

"Luna." Luna nodded and grabbed Soren's hand before transforming into her scythe form.

"I don't know how to deal with this..." the girl said. The sword smiled.

"You just kill them and then we eat their souls!" The girl looked around the room.

"Ragnarok is correct Chrona. Just kill them and take their souls." Yachi said as she sat on her flying broom. Yachi smiled and a small snake-like creature of black electricity made it's way down to the girl.

"Ready Ragnarok?" the sword then opened it's mouth and screamed. The girl ran forward yelling and tried to hit Soren. Soren blocked the girl's sword's attacks with the staff of the scythe. Soren had been walking back then stopped and swung the scythe around. The girl backed up.

"Luna?" Soren asked. Luna's reflection appeared on the blade of the scythe and she smirked.

"I'm ready." Soren then took a deep breath.

"Soul Resonance!" Soren and Luna cried out in unison. Their souls joined and the blade of the scythe became bigger and much more curved.

"The traditional Scythe Meister technique...Witch Hunter!" Soren yelled out.

"360 Hunter!" Soren yelled out as he brought the scythe down. Chrona blocked it. Soren then brought the scythe up and tried again but Chrona stopped it with her arm.

"Her blood acts like an armour..." then Soren froze. Stein had told him that Luna had the same thing...and possibly now Kaido did too. Soren backed up when Ragnarok started screaming again. Chrona ran forward again slashing again and again at Soren until Chrona slashed at him but the sword got caught on the curved blade of the scythe. Then Ragnarok screamed and Soren heard Luna's scream.

"Luna!" Soren cried out. Luna's face appeared on the blade, Soren could see some blood on her face.

"I'm fine! Just don't get hit!" Luna told him. Chrona continued to attack until he was backed up against the church doors.

"This is it...Ragnarok?" Chrona said.

"Block it you Idiot!" Luna yelled at Soren.

"You'll get hurt!" Soren told her.

"I will die for my Meister! Just block it!" Soren didn't lift the scythe to protect himself. Soren watched as the sword came down again.

"Watch out!" Luna screamed then Soren closed his eyes waiting for the pain...but it never came. It was at that moment when he knew he had been careless...

"I was careless..."
