Author Note: Sorry for the late update, guys. I have been busy with school now that we begin class and all. (Damn it) Anyway, hope you enjoy!
``Everyone, the class is about to begin. Get on your seats.´´ Stein said in front of his desk.
Maka was finally out of the hospital so it was a relief for everyone. I was a bit apart of everyone while they talked. I was worried. Last night I had a nightmare that was like the influence of the madness of the Kishin was beginning to crave in deeper. I knew it. When you dream you can only remember small parts of the dream and they don't have sense. But mine was like watching a movie…
``Alex, why have you done this?! What's wrong with you?!´´ Angel said standing in front of my with a pure fear expression.
``Let it flow…the power will make you stronger. It will make us stronger. You just have to do it.´´ I said as I raised the blade of the bayonet which was tinted in red.
Blood was everywhere; in my clothes and in my face. Piles of corpses that I knew made a circle Angel and me. I licked the blood from the blade and let it go through my throat as I tasted the metallic flavor.
``Alex, get back to your senses! You're not like this! This is madness! ´´He said taking a step back.
``Madness? You're wrong…´´ I said with a wicked smile as I disappeared and appeared in front of him.
His eyes widened when I sunk my blade on his chest to then transform it back on my hand which was warming up with his blood. I let out maniacal laugh.
``This is…´´ I began as I clutched his heart.
``ALEX KANE, PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS! ´´I heard a shout followed by a knife almost cutting my ear.
``KYAAA, SORRY PROFFESOR! ´´ I yelped ducking and hiding under the desk.
Laugh filled up the class as I blushed embarrassed. I looked up over the desk and Stein shook his head to continue with the class. It seems that we were studying how to defeat the organization arachnophobia, the organization which follows the orders of Arachne, the witch who was revived. Maka, Soul, Ox, Harvard and Black Star were going to practice the soul resonance in teams by fighting with Stein. Poor boys…
``Stein is going to finish them in seconds…´´I heard Angel said as he smiled at me.
I flinched a bit and looked at the front. Why I felt guilty when I looked at him?
``Hm? Is something wrong Alex? ´´ He asked me.
``No...´´ I said trying to focus on the combat.
It distracted me from my madness problems. Black Star was electrocuted by the electric spear of Ox…twice…in the ass…the second time passing it to Maka…What I did? As the others in class I laughed my guts out. When I finished I saw people looking at me weird along with Angel. I looked at them with a confused face.
``What is it? I have something in my face? ´´ I asked.
``No…is just that your laugh was so…unlike you…´´He tried with a worried face.
``Really? How did I laugh? ´´ I asked.
``Like a maniac would do…´´He answered and I paled with sweat running down my forehead.
I slammed my hand on the desk as I got up and raised my bronze arm in the air.
``Professor, I'm feeling a bit sick, can I go out for a few minutes? ´´ I asked with my voice trembling.
I was nervous; if the guys knew that the madness was affecting me…I can't imagine the consequences.
``Yes, I've been watching you for quite a time and I see you spacing out all the time so you can go to clear your mind.´´ He agreed.
``Thanks.´´ I said and sprinted out of the room as I walked along the hallways.
(What's wrong with me?! Why the madness affects me that much?! Was that a dream, an illusion or a prediction?! No! A prediction no! I can't kill Angel!)
``Get out of my head! ´´ I whimpered clutching my head as I leaned against a wall. ``Leave me alone damn Kishin! ´´
``Ey, are you alright? ´´ I heard a voice saying and I grew stiff, she heard what I said?
I looked up to find a girl about fifteen with black hair and purple eyes. She had a highlights dyed silver and was wearing gothic clothes. She was looking at me with a serious face, like she was examining me…
``Yes. I'm…perfectly fine.´´ I said with a nervous smile.
``No, you're not. You were talking to yourself and you're looking at your sides like a paranoid. You have dark circles under your eyes so you didn't sleep well last night so it was probably a nightmare. You are sweating so you have been running, maybe trying to run away from the truth. And by your face and cold sweat running down your forehead I'm right.´´ she said with an analytic face.
``How did you…? ´´ I began but she beat me.
``I'm an expert at reading people and judging all of this I'll say that the madness of the Kishin is affecting you. You should tell someone about it.´´ she said firmly crossing her arms.
That pulled my trigger. Before she could react I had her pinned against the wall with my bayonet pointing at her chin. I couldn't let her to tell it to everyone! I had to silence her!
``Any last words before I stop you from blow up my little problem?!´´ I growled with a sadistic smile, don't ask me why but I enjoyed the fact of overpower her.
``Don't you even try it, Alex.´´ I heard along with the click of a gun and the metal pressed against my head.
``Damn it, Kid…now I'll have to silence you too!´´ I said.
I aimed at Kid without letting the girl go.
``Are you seeing what are you trying to do?´´ He asked me with a serious face.
``Protect myself. I don't regret anything.´´ I said.
``She's lying. She's more nervous and dangerous than before, be careful.´´ The girl warned him without fear.
``Shut up! This is your entire goddamn fault! I'll have to blow up both of you so the boys don't know about me being crazy! ´´ I said pinning her harder.
``Too late, Alex because we already know. Let her go…´´ I heard another voice and my heartbeat stuck on my throat.
Angel was leaning against the wall with a saddened face. Soul and Black Sat in a side of the hallway, Maka and Tsubaki in the other; I was trapped in the worst way possible. My secret blow up and without ideas… I trembled slightly and let her go. I had to act quickly so I followed my instinct: run the fuck off!
``Black Star, Soul, don't let her escape! ´´ Angel commanded.
Even trying to dodge the boys it was useless. They got a hold of my arms and forced me to stand on my knees. They grabbed me so tightly that it began to hurt so I squirmed more causing them to harden their grips.
``Damn it…´´I cursed under my breath. ``How the heck did you discover it?!´´
``You were acting very weird today. I heard you last night half laughing half crying in your sleep and how did you talked to yourself in the bathroom muttering about getting it out of your mind. You're spacing out during class when you always pay attention. And we have another way to prove it; Maka, would you? ´´ Angel asked nicely.
``Yes.´´ She said and looked at me, more likely my soul. ``Your soul right now is bigger than before because you're letting the madness take over in an attempt to escape.´´ She said and sighed. ``Do it before it gets worse.´´
``Do what..? AGHHH!´´ I screamed when a powerful electric shock went through my body and I felt weaker.
``And I thinking you would have more control…what a pity. Alex, we'll have to get all the information about your madness. You can answer the questions like a good girl or we'll force it out of you.´´ Stein said behind me.
``For how many time you have been like this? ´´ Soul asked first.
``Go to hell, Soul…´´I cursed and another wave went through me making me gave in. `` Since I lost my arm…´´
``Good, have you felt desires to kill before? ´´ Black Star went next.
``…No…´´I lied.
``She lies. ´´The girl said serious making me win another shock. ``I can tell when you lie, don't you even try it.´´
``When the Kishin appears in your illusions, if he does what he does to you? ´´ Kid asked.
``He wants me to let my madness flow so I can get powerful…´´ I answered with a smirk and Maka gasped.
``Doctor Stein, her soul is again increasing! ´´she warned him.
``Fuck you, Maka! ´´ I cursed when the fourth painful wave came.
``Last question and we finish, what did you dream about last night? ´´ Angel asked.
I was left out of words and finally some sense came to me. I gulped and breathed heavily. How I could answer to that freaking question?!
``Alex, answer the question, please.´´ Kid said to me.
``I can't…´´ I whimpered.
``Alex, we're your friends trust in us.´´ Tsubaki said smiling at me.
``No, you couldn't understand…´´
``Hell, Alex is just a question! ´´ Soul said.
``FUCK, I KILLED ANGEL, OKAY?! I KILLED HIM AND ENJOYED IT! ´´ I busted out. ``And it wasn't the unique one…All of you was dead…´´ I began shaking and the grip from the guys loosened and I fell on my hands and knees. ``Damn it…I didn't want any of you to know, because I thought you would hate me…I'm sorry…´´I could said.
Someone tapped my back and looked up to see the girl smiling at me.
``The first step: admit it is completed. Letting out your feelings is a great relief too so you can cry all you want.´´ She said.
``I'm not going to cry!´´ I shouted.
``I think is too late to say that, Alex.´´ Stein said lighting up a cigar.
``Eh?´´ I muttered and felt a single tear running down my face.
Angel kneeled beside me and hugged me as he rubbed my back. (What the heck?! I don't need to cry!) I squirmed under his grip.
``Let me go! I'm not crying damn it! I never cried and I'm not going to do it now! ´´ I said but Angel held me tightly.
``What a coincidence, I also never cried in my life. Maybe that's why I'm like this.´´ Stein said with a scary face that made all of us shudder.
``Holy shit! ´´ I said as I clutched onto my brother. ``Think about sad things, think about sad things! ´´ I muttered.
``Fail an exam? ´´ Maka suggested.
``Asymmetry? ´´ Kid suggested.
``Dead kitties? ´´ Tsubaki tried.
``Dead puppies? ´´ Black Star also said.
``No cookies in the world? ´´ Soul said and that almost did it.
``Remember Chrona's poem? ´´ Angel said.
I began to think and I remembered it. In a second I was sobbing on his shirt.
``I don't freaking deserve to live! I'm sorry for being born! ´´ I whimpered.
``Angel, that crossed the line.´´ the gang said with a sweat-drop.
``Sorry, but was it effective right? She's letting her feelings out! ´´ He defended himself.
``Okay, so now that Alex has admitted the truth how we do it to stop the madness growing inside of her, not only by killing the Kishin that's it.´´ the unknown girl said.
``Well, Soul and Maka could do it by using the soul resonance. So we'll have to make them to learn how to do it.´´ Stein simply said.
``Learn the soul resonance? It's going to be hard, you think you're ready for it Alex? ´´ Angel asked me now that I stopped crying, sincerely now I feel much better.
``Aren't any of you mad at me? ´´ I asked a bit shyly.
``What? Us mad at you? No way, we're your friends; we'll help you to do it! ´´ Maka said smiling.
``Then what we're waiting for?! Let's learn some soul-CRAP! ´´ I cursed when I tried to got up but instead I ended up falling on my face. ``I don't feel my body.´´
``Must be by the amount of shock waves you received.´´ Kid guessed and I looked at him with the ``don't shit Sherlock´´ face.`` Also who are you?´´ He asked to the girl.
``Me? Just a New York girl who just transfered here. I'm Emily Jordan, but you can call me Mizu.´´ She said.
``Do I know you from some place?´´ I asked, she seemed familiar.
``Nop. I would shake your hand but seeing you can't move…´´She trailed off.
``Oh, yeah, I forgot. Damn you Stein!´´
Author Note: Again, sorry. Let's answer the questions.
