Crimzon: Yep, sorry bout that guys but I hope u all enjoy! So yeah, u all know that drill R&R AND I OWN NOTHING!

~Kathleen's POV~

After I hung up the phone with Soul, I snuggled back under the covers next to Alex. Usually he sleeps in his own room, but whenever I begin to hear voices or have nightmares, he stays with me the entire night or until I ask him to leave.

~Flashback~

After dinner I had started feeling tired and ended up falling asleep in the living room. I don't really remember who brought me to my room, Alex or Sebby-san. All I know was that the moment I was alone and actually started to fall back to sleep, I started to begin hearing voices. And by voices, I meant just one voice … my brother. At first it was just him whispering my name, but then he got louder and louder until he sounded so close that I could have sworn he was right behind me whispering into my ear. Next thing I knew, I felt this horrible headache that I rolled off my bed and hit the ground. The pain was so unbearable that at some point, I must have gripped the bedside table and knock off the lamp, causing the bulb to explode when it hit the floor.

Next thing I knew, Alexander was pulling me into his arms and next thing I knew, the pain was gone just like that. I didn't understand what the hell had just happened. That had never happened before so the only conclusion I could come to was that … my brother was getting stronger.

"Kat? Everything ok?" I could feel tears streaming down my face. I couldn't find my voice so all I could do was nod. "Want me to stay?" he asked again. He knew me well enough that I didn't need to answer that for him to know the response. Without nothing more to be said, we fell asleep under the warm covers with his hands over my ears.

Almost an hour or so after we fell asleep, I started dreaming. And by dreaming, I meant I was being plagued by a nightmare. I found myself in an odd place. The sky was black with a red laughing moon. I was being held up in mid-air and below me was an ocean of blood. I looked around and noticed that I was tied to some kind of pole. Next thing I knew, I saw Maka a mile away from me, struggling to get away from … my brother. I managed to hear their conversation and from what I heard shocked me. That's when I finally realized what my brother wanted Maka for.

After she disappeared under the water, my brother turned to me smiled then flew up to me.

"I'll make your life a living hell, sister." And with that said, he disappeared and I woke up screaming.

"Kathleen, what's wrong?" Alexander woke up to my screams and was holding me close, trying to calm me down.

A few minutes passed and Sebastian walked into the room with a phone. He looked like he just woke up.

"Phone call from Mr. Evans, Kathleen-san."

"What the hell does he want at two in the morning?" he grabbed the phone from Sebastian and talked to Soul for a moment.

~End Flashback~

It was morning now and we were getting dressed to go over to Soul's place. All the while, I was explaining to Alex what my brother is after and why.

~At Soul and Maka's apartment~

I knocked on the door and Soul answered. He looked like utter crap. Seems like he stayed up half the night worrying 'bout his partner. At least he cares.

"Mind explaining what's wrong with Maka?"

"Mind letting us in first?" asked Alex in an annoyed tone.

He let us in and we found Blair in her cat form playing with a rubber fish. Alex and I sat down on the sofa while Soul sat down across from us.

"I had a similar dream to what Maka had. It seemed like we were in the same dream but she didn't notice me there. My brother was trying to get her to choose between her humanity and yours, Soul." I started.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"He was asking her if she wanted to become a vampire." I responded. Before I could say anything else, Soul stood up abruptly, his hands became fists.

"What?"

"It's exactly as I said. Now if you would calmly sit down, I'll continue to explain." He hesitated for a moment then sat down, "Maka wouldn't answer so Ichijo told her that if she didn't decide soon then he would turn you instead." Soul didn't say anything, instead he kept quiet, giving me the chance to finish, "If he were to turn her then he might unlock hidden abilities that she isn't aware of." I stopped for a moment and Alexander continued.

"Maka has a very rare type of soul and because of that, she has hidden abilities that aren't available to her in her current form. If she were to lose her humanity, it just might unlock those abilities. You see, when a vampire turns a human and if that human were to be in a weakened state, then that vampire would be able to have complete control of the person they turn. Meaning he would have complete control of Maka and her abilities if something were to happen. Same thing goes for Kathleen." He loked over at me and I nodded.

"Yeah, since I'm technically not all vampire, if I were to be in a weakened state then he could take control of me." I said.

"And you think that this is what Ichijo is planning?" he asked.

"No, there's more to it actually. From what I managed to find out from old stories passed down in our clan, there is a way for a vampire to combine his soul with another whether that person is human or not. My guess is that he plans to do just that with both my soul and Maka's." I stopped talking, letting it all sink in. this must have been difficult for Soul to hear. I can tell he cares deeply for his meister and his own soul would be shatter is anything would happen to her. This is my entire fault for letting them get involved. Had I realized earlier about Maka's soul, I would have told Alexander and Sebastian and skipped town.

I looked over at Soul and it seemed like he was about to say something when Black Star crashed through the window and landed on the coffee table.

"Yahoo, it is I, the great Black Star! Behold my greatness!" we looked at him dumbfounded and before anyone of us could say anything, Death the Kid burst through the front door.

"Damnit Black Star, I told you not to crash in through the window. They have a door for a reason." They both then realized what they had interrupted.

"What did we miss?" asked Black Star, but before anyone answered his question, Soul grabbed the rubber fish Blair was playing with then shoved it down the blue-haired ninja's throat. While he was off choking on the sidelines, Death the Kid began talking.

"Um, whatever it is, it can wait. We have all been summoned by Shinigami-sama. He says it's urgent." Oh geez, why do I get the feeling that it has something to do with my brother?

Crimzon: sorry guys, I know it sucked but … yeah writer's block is a b***h so bear with me on this. Ill do better on next chapter … well I'll try so please review if you want to know whats going to happen next!
