I know it might be a little confusing because of the author note but this is chapter 10 even though it might show up as 11
10: playing hooky and sneaky
I do not own Soul Eater and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to NightshadeRoses13
We make it to the mansion, Kid helps me off the craft and we sprint into Lord Death's personal library. It's even bigger than the one from the DWMA, there has to be at least thousands of books. Who know what lies in wait for Kid and I.
"Evelyn! Over here!" Kid hollers. I run to him then he dumps books on me.
"Look in here while I search for more." I glance at the book titles.
"Shards: the family of chaos."
"The bloodstained past: History of the Shard from beginning to end."
"Asura, the first Kishin and founder of the Shard." I open the thin leather book and start reading it. It's a really thin book comparing to the other book I read about my family.
"I found more, surprisingly there wasn't much books about the Shard." I nod and something gets me.
"Come here, look at this." He sits next to me on the floor. I point to the paragraph that caught my attention.
"Asura before he turned into a Kishin slept with mortals and he fathered many children who inherited his Meister powers and his super natural abilities to warfare. It has also been reported that the first Shards created many techniques still in use today such as 'Witch Hunter' and the Star Clan's 'Speed Star'. Rumors also have it that weapons in the Shard Clan can kill gods if they have a dark purple aura to their souls. Of course there has never been proof to this theory and I hope that there never will." Kid looks up at me.
"So you could kill my father and Asura if you could?" I nod. "It's just hard to believe that someone like you could be capable of doing something so horrific."
"Well it's not like I have a 'dark purple aura' around my soul."
"You never know and Evelyn can you promise me something?"
"Huh?" he leans in closer to me and we're in each other's faces.
"That you'll never kill gods because if you do," his breath touches my skin. "Heaven or Hell won't take you when you die; that I can promise."
"Evelyn, come to me my child… don't listen to him my dear; what does he know? He's the child of the Grim Reaper and he'll do anything for you not to kill him and his precious daddy."
The same voice scratches into my head and I grip onto my head. "Go away please."
"Me? Evelyn, what's wrong?" Kid grabs me by my shoulders.
"It's… it's…"
"C'mon tell me already! You're scarring me Evelyn!"
"I'm sorry but it's-" I look at the bookshelves and I see my ancestor before he turned into the first Kishin. He grins and he looks like Kid in a way and it's freaky.
"Don't be afraid my daughter, come to me…" he beckons me with his hand. I scream and bury my head into Kid's chest. I dry my tears with his shirt as he tries to calm me down. "It's okay Evelyn, whatever you saw wasn't there…"
"He talked to me Kid. And he looked a bit like you Kid. It's scary and he told me to come to him."
At that moment the door to the library opens. Kid turns into his Reaper From and its shadows engulf me.
"Kid! What are you doing here?" Lord Death questions his son.
"Oh I was doing research of my own."
"About the Shard clan?" Lord Death refers to the books.
"Yeah, since Evelyn's my partner I thought I should get some background info about her family. You know like their abilities and etc."
"The only abilities they have are to be destructive when they have motives."
"Is it that's why you're letting Evelyn at the DWMA? For your own motives to finally destroy the witches? So Evelyn's just a weapon for destruction?"
"Enough. You ask too many questions Kid." Lord Death's voice changes from his high pitched voice into a dark and ancient voice. "C'mon, I'll be waiting for you in the dining room." He leaves and the doors slam behind him. Then Kid rushes me outside, puts me on his craft,
"What about your skateboard?" I ask.
"Just give it to me tomorrow, be careful Evelyn." He hugs me before I leave and then stomps on the back end of the board. It sends me away, but I'd do anything for the title of dating Death the Kid.
