Sorry for how late this chapter is, I'm been very busy! Also, just wanted to let you know I've only watched the anime so I'm sorry if something is different from the manga! Anyway, I don't own Soul Eater only my two characters.

Chapter 12 (Arrow's P.O.V.)

I only agreed to follow Medusa to get me out of the blistering desert. Really…I would never side with her. Besides she knows if she were to try to attack me, I could kill her easily…if I really tried.

Medusa suddenly stopped and looked at the sand beneath her feet.

"Why'd we stop?" I asked her. She waved her hand through the air and the sand immediately fell into a hole and stairs appeared leading down through the hole.

"Getting us out of this heat." She said with a smile…a very suspicious smile may I add. "Come along."

She led the way down the cool stairs. I could immediately tell the temperature change! It was so much cooler then the desert.

As we reached the bottom of the stairs the hole immediately closed leaving us in pitch black darkness. I turned around to see the site, but didn't have much luck. My heart immediately began to race. I knew I was in trouble. I heard a quiet, but evil laugh beside me where Medusa stood.

"Vector plate." My eyes widened and I was suddenly being pushed through the air and hit a hard stone wall. After connecting with the wall, I fell to the floor, gasping for air.

Before I could recover from the impact, somebody grabbed my neck and slammed my back into the wall once more. This time there was a low voice laughing at my pain.

"What's wrong? Are we to much for a Kishin's daughter?" I gasped for air as the grip around my neck tightened.

"Relax Free. If you kill her now, she will become useless to us." I heard Medusa say as her voice sounded closer. "Thanks for joining us, Arrow." A metal object was pressed onto my forehead and then my eyes shut closed.

(Lily's P.O.V.)

"Come on, Lily apologize!" Soul whispered to me.

See, we all raced to Maka's room after finding Stein's note. Maka was an excellent meister so we needed her for this fight. I, however, wasn't feeling up to the idea of apologizing for my event…

…she deserved it…

"Please Lily, we need her help." Tsubaki whispered from behind me. I clenched my fists.

"If she doesn't want to apologize for what she did then fine." I immediately released my fists and looked back at Maka.

Her bruises were fully visible on her face now. Her features seemed relaxed, but something about her looked tense.

"Then…does that mean you'll help?" Soul asked his meister. Maka looked out the window and the room fell quiet.

"I've never judged someone so before as much as I judged Arrow. After Lily knocked some sense into me, I began to think straight. I realized I was jealous."

"Maka, jealous? Liz said with a smirk. Maka nodded and continued.

"She's so much prettier, stronger, braver…but finding out about her secret, I immediately thought of reasons for this perfect being to leave but…" She looked from the window to her fingers that began twiddling. "…after finding out how much you guys care for her…I regret everything I did."

A laugh escaped my lips.

"Arrow, perfect? Never!"

"What?" Maka immediately responded.

"She was branded at birth with the Chinese symbols for each element. Her father is a deadly Kishin and her mother is a witch! She had to kill her parents, and at a price her village burned to the ground. Now the surviving villagers exiled her from the new village they're rebuilding. She's alone and unloved!" The room fell quiet again. As I looked around the room, every body's eyes were wide from shock. I looked to Soul.

"She became a death Scythe by killing her parents…she became one before I ever met her. I only found her wondering through the woods." Soul's crimson red eyes widened even more.

"Her life has been so…" Kid began to say.

"Uncool…" Soul finished for him.

"Then my mind is made up." I looked back to Maka. She was now sliding out of bed. "I'll fight in this battle. I'll do anything to help her." I smiled at her.

"Thank you…" My smile slowly faded. "But…I'm still not apologizing for hitting you." She smiled confidently.

"Wasn't expecting you too."

"Alright if we're done with this bonding moment…CAN WE GO NOW!" Black Star immediately yelled, changing the aura of the room. We all laughed.

"Yes, let's go save our friend." Maka said with a smile. I smiled back and nodded.

Then, we all headed out of the school.
