Hey there folks! Sorry for the wait! But its summer vacation now so I should be updating a little quicker now. Anyways I have made a vow to myself to try to keep the authors notes short from now on.

But I do have to mention the weird word things in the beginning are supposed to be the noises people make when they wake up. I just don't know how to write the noises exactly so I did my best.

So thank you all of my fans for helping me remember to update this story y leaving reviews and putting me on your alerts, it really does mean a lot to me. J

Well now on with the show!

Finding and feeding the gems weakness

"Hhhh…." Arachne was just opening her eyes from a long sleep. "hhhh… oh, hmmmm." She smiled when remembering what she had in her arms.

She started to mover her arms to get Maka to her side while she stretched out her body; After all she did just wake up after 2 days straight of sleep. She called for a servant to bring her two trays of food filled with energy components, she wanted to make sure that Maka wouldn't be too weak when she woke her up; she needed her to be able to talk to her normally, And if she was too weak from 2 days of no food then she wouldn't get that now would she?

After contemplating the situation she drew her attention back to her quietly sleeping gem.

Oh how adorable she is, now if I do this right she won't be too fussy when I wake her up.

Arachne moved over to Maka and put her hand on her cheek, 'moftan aka wafesteng'

She spoke the spell and the dark energy came trickling down her fingers and over Maka's face. Then she started to stir a little and then opened her eyes into little slits of white and jade green.

"Huhhu…." Maka was opening her eyes a little more now and was just starting to get her vision to clear up. She felt around a little to recognized that she was in a bed, but it was far too soft to be her own. She started to sit up right to get a better view of where she was.

'Oh man…. My muscles feel so stiff. How long have I been out? And what happened to me?' Maka thought as she started to recognize her bodies' reaction to her moving around after so long of staying still. Then she widened her eyes with shock and fear as her body went stiff when she realized 'wait… where am I!'

Maka hands start to stumble backwards and she then notices that she is touching someone's leg. She turns around and see's Arachne just sitting there, quietly, enjoying the show of her work.

"Well if it isn't sleeping beauty herself, did you have a nice dream?" Arachne teased.

"Ahahhh!" Maka yelps and backs away very quickly. "What are you doing here?" She's panicing a little now, being very frightened by the witch's sudden presence.

"Well that was a very sweet response to your prince charming." She was referring to her being the one who woke Maka up from her slumber, despite the fact that she was the one who put her in it; but she was in a good mood so she wouldn't spoil the one moment she actually got to witness Maka's adorable face when it was scared. Even though it would only be for a brief moment, her memories will surely be coming back very soon.

Maka just stared at her for a few moments and then, as Arachne had predicted, her frightened face started to turn into a much harder one. "What am I doing here? Where is Soul? What do you want with me?" Maka's anger was starting to spark.

"Well that's for me to know and you to find out now isn't it dear." Arachne was trying to keep it on the low end with the plan so Maka couldn't try to think her way out of it. She had her trapped within her web and now it was time to start her real plans.

By that time Maka's mind had been racing trying to remember her previous fight and conversation prior to her falling under the sleeping spell.

Arachne had already started to advance on her without her noticing and was about a foot away. Maka snapped out of her deep thinking when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey! Get away!" Maka exclaims while crawling backwards again. Now she is on high alert. She doesn't want to be put under a spell again.

"Just try to get comfortable Maka. If you resist then you will only make things harder for yourself. I want you to listen to me. I need your full attention for you to understand the serious offer I have for you." She smiled a little. Maka's panic started to rise again.

"Wha wa what do you mean by that?" Maka's body was starting to shake now and she was frozen with fear when Arachne went to put he hand on her other shoulder. Maka instictivly pulled away hard and cralwed to get off of the bed, but Arachne had grabbed her shoulders and pinned her to the bed board before she could make it.

Of course then Maka had to try to put on a face of bravery, saying, "I'm not going to let you do what you want with me without a fight! Especially now that I can fight!" Maka yelled while attempting to get out agian and almost succeeding, but while she was getting off of the bed she felt the fatigue and ache of her muscles come back again and stopped where she was.

Arachne was silently cursing the servant for not coming with that food yet. But at least that meant that Maka couldn't physically do much so she had the upper hand. I will not waste this opportunity.

"Oh Maka….how I do admire you courageousness and determination at doing the right thing. But right now, the right thing is to let me have you. I know it doesn't make sense now but it will make sense once you've gotten use to it all."

"What are you talking about?" Maka said with much strained in her voice because she was struggling just to keep herself standing. Arachne could hear and see the pain Maka was in and decided to help her get her balance back. She didn't like seeing Maka in pain.

'Dammit, I can barely stand, every time I move I feel this terrible pain and fatigue in my muscles; I guess this isn't any better then when I was being paralyzed by the spell from the golem.' Maka was in thought again and before she knew it she was sitting against the head board of the bed with Arachne gently holding her by the shoulders again, but much more gently this time.

Maka had been to busy with trying to focus on not falling to the floor that she hadn't fought off Arachne when she had came in contact with her arm, so Arachne took it as a free pass to help her.

"Huh?" Maka was blushing a little.

"I told you before didn't I?" She started to explain a little, "I would hate to lose an opportunity to have such talent slip by and not even get my word of negotiation in." She told Maka. And by this point Maka knew she really didn't have a choice but to listen.

I've got her right were I want her.

Ok so that was most defiantly my longest chapter so far.

Again Maka doesn't notice things very well in this chapter, I seriously think she only really picks up on things on queue is when she is fighting. Especially in this story.
