Chapter 29
"So, how was your time in the Cooler?" Blaise asked.
"That's none of your business." Maka sighed, resting against the wall.
Orin had brought her back while she was sleeping, so she had woken up in her cell. It was still dark out, so the only light she had in her cell was the dim lightbulb hovering above her head. It didn't give out much light, but it was all she had.
"I'm so bored." She moaned, turning her head to the girl opposite. "Let's play a game Maka."
"No, go to sleep."
"But I'm not tired~" She whined.
"Then go kill yourself, you're pissing me off as it is." The ash blonde growled. She wasn't in the right of mind for an argument so turned away from Blaise; focusing on her breathing.
Fallon and Starr were asleep which left Maka on her own to deal with the bitch across from her. If they couldn't stand staying awake to listen to her whines then neither could Maka. But she wasn't tired. She had already slept.
"Jeez, what crawled up your ass and died?"
"You're clone," she muttered; blanking her out. She regretted falling asleep in Orin's, she didn't even know what to do. She had had a whole day full of people pissing her off, but here she sat, with one of those people. What luck.
"I really do hate you," Blaise suddenly said.
"Don't we all." This was going to be a long night.

"I'm here!" Soul burst through the doors of the cubicle, rushing inside. "Is she OK? What happened? Has she woken up yet? Does she know where Maka is!?" He asked a million questions at once, confusing the blue haired assassin.
"S-Slow down!" Blackstar gasped. "Tsubaki's fine, her hearts pumping so she should be alright. But she hasn't woken up yet so I haven't had a chance to ask her anything about the others."
"Right," he slumped into a chair, glancing at the girl on the bed. "She looks dead."
"You think this is bad? You should have seen her when I found her body. She looked like a corpse, man." Blackstar shook his head.
"S-Sorry I wasn't here sooner..."
"It's fine, don't worry about it." He grinned. "I'm just glad that they found her, you know?" He clenched his fists. "B-But I don't understand how she got like that." He pointed at the deep slashes over the visible parts of her body. "It's like they bled her dry."
"If that's what happened to Tsubaki, then I'm dreading on what they're doing to Maka." Soul bit the bottom of his lip, resting his head on his hands.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get the location of where she is once Tsubaki wakes up." Blackstar reassured him. "Let's just hope she doesn't end up in state like her." He nodded at his partner.
Soul let out a deep sigh. "How is she coping?"
"OK so far. They had to pump a lot of blood into her to keep her heart beating," he pulled up his sleeve. "How much of a coincidence is that?" He pointing at the plaster on his arm. "We have the same blood type."
"Wow, I guess you were made for each other." Soul snickered.
"Shut up," Blackstar swatted at him. "You should donate some too if you're the right type."
Soul nodded. "What is her type?"
"Hm, medium height, blue hair, male-"
"No, her blood type dumbass." He grumbled, stopping the meister there.
"A positive."
"Ah, I'm an A, but a negative."
"Damn, you were so close to having a needle stuck into your arm as well." Blackstar chuckled, interpreting him jabbing an imaginary needle into his arm.
"Whatever," Soul snickered. He averted his gaze to the beeping machine, watching as thin line on the heart monitor wavered up and down at a steady pace. "Are you staying the night?"
"No, I need to tell Kid and the girls about Tsubaki's current state. They know that she's been found, but aren't able to get here so I should go see them." He stood up, releasing Tsubaki's pale hand.
"I'll leave with you," Soul pulled his motorbike keys from his pocket.
Blackstar kissed Tsubaki's temple, brushing her hair to one side before walking out the door, leaving it open for Soul to close. Once they were outside they parted ways with Soul revving up his bike and Blackstar climbing up the wall of a nearby house; disappearing over the rooftops as he jumped.

"Raven!" Cyrus' voice boomed through the building. "Raven! Get in here, now!"
A sigh escaped the man's lips as he strolled into the office. "What do you want?"
"Shut the door." Cyrus growled.
Raven did as instructed before slouching in a nearby chair. He flicked his hair to the side, staring at his boss with bored expression.
"Have you seen the news?" He snapped.
"No, you know that I don't watch that crap-"
"They found her body!" Cyrus yelled, cutting him off.
"Her body? As in, that girls?"
"Yes! Tsubaki Nakatsukasa's body was found!" He fumed. "It was all over the news, on almost every single channel. How could you not have seen it!?"
"Don't yell at me!" Raven shouted, clenching the arms of the chair. He hated it when he was spoken down to.
"I am your boss, I can do what I like." Cyrus said.
"Whatever," he muttered; turning away. "What do you want me to do about it?"
"What has to be done." Cyrus told him.
"So you want me to kill her?"
The boss simply nodded.
"But why can't Orin do something for a change?"
"You know what he's like, he won't even hurt a fly."
"Then why hire him in the first place!?"
"He escaped from prison with us, what else was I supposed to do?" Cyrus thumped the table with his fist, leaving a dent in the wood.
Raven shrugged his shoulders as he stood. "I'm leaving."
"To kill the girl?"
"What else would I be leaving for?" Raven sighed, walking out the door.
"Do it fast and quickly Raven, don't make a scene. We mustn't have her telling anyone about us," Cyrus warned him as he disappeared down the hallway, leaving his office door wide open.

Maka banged her head against the bars of her cell, trying to drone out Blaise's voice. She hadn't stopped talking for over an hour. Maka's brain cells were literally disintegrating by the second. "Will you just shut up." She growled, keeping her voice an octave lower than normal.
"Nope!" Blaise sighed, leaning back on her mattress.
Maka mumbled to herself, pushing away from the bars. She crawled over to her 'bed' and sat down; leaning against the dusty wall behind.
"Maka~" She whispered. "Stop ignoring me!"
Before Maka could reply, the door at the end opened very slowly; but still gave out its usual creak. Orin walked in. Maka went to ask what he wanted but stopped when her eyes set upon the average sized girl behind him. Her hands were cuffed as he led her past her cell, opening the door to the one opposite the next one from hers.
"Who's that?" She asked him, watching the girl enter her cell without a fight.
"Maggie, her name is Maggie." He replied, removing the handcuffs.
"Is she new?"
"No, she was the last one left to recover from the training that Raven did a while ago." He replied, locking her cell before turning towards her. "You should get some sleep instead of questioning me, I'm sure Maggie will answer what you ask."
"Hm," Maka watched him leave. She waited for the door to close before letting out a sigh. Maybe she was tired. She refused to glance at the new girl so lay down instead, curling up into a ball to keep herself warm.
