Kid's POV:

I had probably been sitting there for 5 minutes and realized I had no time to sit here and cry. Today was going to be a different kind of day, it was going to be a good day, or so I thought. I got up off the floor and went back in the room where I had left Maka.

When I entered the room I found her standing over by the balcony. I hugged her from behind and wrapped my arms around her waist. "What is going on with me Kid," she asked me. "I'm not sure completely but whatever it is I will figure it out and help you fight this," I told her with seriousness in my voice.

"Let's go out and take a walk through the park and maybe we can have a picnic," I turned her around so she could look at me. "Yeah that sounds fun let me just go change real quick," she kissed my cheek and went back inside. I hope she knows she has been here for a while and has no spare clothes.

She came back and looked at me slightly embarrassed. "Umm Kid I forgot I have no clothes," she said her cheeks pink with embarrassment. "Don't worry I can have Liz and Patti help you out with that," I replied chuckling slightly.

She sat down on the bed and I went into the girls' room to pick out an outfit for her. I picked out a simple white sundress and black flats. I went back to the room and handed her the outfit. "Thanks Kid," she said and went to the bathroom to change.

Maka's POV:

When I went into the bathroom I looked into the mirror and saw nothing but red. When I looked at my reflection I saw my other self smiling a sinister smile. I backed up against the bathroom door and made a bang sound.

"Hey Maka are you okay in there," Kid asked from the other side of the door. "Y-yeah I'm fine I-I'm just gonna wash my face real quick," I said. I quickly washed my face with soap and water and put on the clothes that he gave me. I brushed out my hair and put it into a bun and let a strand of hair come down on each side.

When I walked out Kid had a soft smile on his face. He was wearing a white polo shirt, black shorts, and black and white shoes. "You look absolutely amazing," he said grabbing me by my waist. "Well you don't look so bad yourself," I smiled at him. "Well then shall we get going," he grabbed my hand. I nodded my head and we made our way outside.

He took me to the local park and we sat down on a bench in front of the playground. I smiled as I watched all the little kids run around. The sun was shining down on us it seemed to be a perfect day. It wasn't too hot or too cold, it was just right and everything seemed to be going well and put me at ease.

Kid held my hand as we sat together watching the young children play on all the playground equipment. "Don't they all just look so cute," I said referring to the children playing. "Yeah they are aren't they," he replied. "Wouldn't it be nice if...," suddenly it felt like I was being dragged into a dark hole. I was all too familiar with this feeling and I dreaded it with my entire being.

It was weird it was as if I was watching myself look at everything I was doing. "Please no not now please," I begged. I watched myself stand up and walk over towards the children. "Maka what are you doing," I could hear Kid call to me. "Please no don't hurt them leave them alone," I said to myself, someone, anyone, hoping they would hear my voice.

I continued to walk over towards the children who had no idea what I was capable of in this state. My right arm turned into a curved black blade as I continued on towards the children. "Maka stop what are you going to do to those children," Kid yelled at me. "I will make them beautiful by staining their bodies with red," the dark me answered with a grin. My shadow began to loom over three children and one by one they all turned to look at me. I could see the absolute fear in their eyes as they realized what was going on.

"Maka whatever it is that you are about to do don't do it," Kid begged. "Why not once I cut them they'l look better than they did before," the other me answered. My bladed arm slowly began to ride up in the air preparing to strike. "Maka don't do it," Kid yelled running towards me. My arm swung downwards trying to take all three out at once. "NO STOP," I shouted as loud as I could. Then I felt I was being dragged down into something and I was blinded by a white light.

I opened my eyes to see the three kids in front of me shuddering in fear while Kid held my right arm above my head. The children opened their eyes and got up and ran away quickly. I turned around to look at Kid and he looked relieved and let go of my arm. I started at him wide eyed "I could see it this time," I told him.

"What do you mean Maka what did you see," he asked me. "I could see myself but it was like I was looking through my eyes but I wasn't the one in control. I could literally see everything, the terrified face of those children, I saw it all. I-I don't know what to do anymore I can't do this anymore," I started sobbing into his chest. "Shhh Maka it's okay everything is is fine you were able to stop yourself just in time," he said trying to console me. But what if I hadn't what if I didn't stop in time? The blood of those kids would have been on my hands I would have committed murder," I said looking up at him.

He said nothing to me and instead kept rubbing his hand along my back. "Kid I want to go home please," I begged him. "Okay we'll head back to the manor right now," he replied. "No I wanna go back home, to my home. I wanna be with sOul my partner please Kid please. Take me home," I continued crying. "Alright Maka I'll take you home," he said without a hint of disagreement in his voice. Kid summoned his skateboard and we both got on and I wrapped my arms around his torso.
