Here's the next chapter ^-^

The crisped air made the already trembling boy shiver, he had not expected a winter in the dessert would become this cold. It wasn't really cold like the winters in some other places but the people of Nevada were definitely not used to this drop of temperature.
A cold drop of water splashed on the top of the boy's head. He shivered then reached a hand to touch the cold spot. He walked in silence, the only sound heard was from his chattering teeth. He folded his arms together to at least feel some warmth. The girl who walked beside him couldn't do much for him except hold an arm around his shoulders to keep him a little warm, if the boy were to take of his thin jacket he would 'freeze to death', as he so often complained now a days.
The girl only had a black sweatshirt, she wore denim jeans, and her usual combat boots. Unlike her ruby eyed partner, the cold was not affecting her. She was immune to it. She wasn't human, not completely at least.
These two partners were currently on patrol, something their school make them do at least twice a month. Their job is to roam the city in watch for anything 'unusual', if they got lucky probably just some kishen egg or a faint trace of a witch, or maybe even some robber or killer. Yeah right.
The city was quiet as nearly everyone was in bed, probably in a nice warm, comfy bed while these two froze their asses off. Well one of them did. The dirty blonde girl stopped walking when she felt the icy wind blast at her face- to look at her partner who was struggling. Her crimson eyed partner squinted his eyes as the wind caused his crimson eyes to water.
"Seriously Maka, why did you have to insist of doing patrol now?" Her partner put a crossed arm in front of his face to block the wind. His partner cast a side glance at him, her lips forming a frown. "Because the weather will supposedly get colder than this, you can become a snowman or get this over with, which do you prefer, Soul?" she asked walking along the side walk with him. Soul rolled his eyes, "I hate it when you're right."
Maka grinned at her partner then continued to look ahead. The dim street lights didn't help much but Maka was still able to see the figure standing quite a distance away. Her senses had become much stronger and she now had night vision.
"Who's that over there?" Maka asked, "At this hour?" the two partners fast walked to the standing figure, out of the whole night this was the most exciting thing that had happened. As they grew near the figure completely vanished. The two partners slowed down and looked around at the spot where the tall figure was at not long ago. "That...was weird." Soul said scratching the back of his head in confusion. Maka nods in agreement. She turned around and looks at the empty dark road ahead. She can't help but to shiver, it was obviously not from the weather.

"We found nothing Lord Death." Soul tells the tall figure looming over us. The Death Lord nods and claps his hands together. "That's great, so you two didn't come across anything out of the ordinary." he turns and faces his mask at me. I look down at the ground, I hesitate before opening my mouth. I have to say it, what we saw earlier was definitely not human. I sensed it was a witch. And not the ones one could defeat easily. "Actually..." I trail off.
The Death Lord's expression on his mask looks curious(somehow). "Oh is there something you'd like to share?" I bite my bottom lip, I look over at my partner who nods for me to continue. "I- I, Soul and I saw this figure standing alone...but when we walked up to it, it disappeared." Lord Death remained quiet, "It was probably our imaginations." Soul chuckled nervously and Lord Death nods.
However, I don't want to agree, I can't, I know it was real, we all do. "No." I look up at the two of them. Soul's eyes widen slightly. "It's soul...it was a witch's soul." Lord Death gives a questioning look through his mask, "Why would a witch risk the chance of being here with out using soul protect?" "I don't know, maybe she wanted her presence to be known?" I say trying to convince myself somehow. I honestly don't know anything but I know what we saw was real, and that whatever it was, we didn't see it by coincidence.

I sat up against the headboard of my bed. I had a book on my lap, I flipped the pages with careful fingers. I sighed then closed the book shut. I picked it up and placed it on the nightstand besides my twin size bed. I clicked the lamp off then pulled the covers over me. I laid on my right side(facing the window) with my head on the soft white pillow. The moon was the only source of light. It's moonlight leaked through the huge window. I close my eyes and await for sleep to take me into it's dreaming land.
I wake up a few minutes later when I hear a knock on the window. Wait what.
On the window? I sit up. How can anyone knock on it? We're on the third floor. I pull the light green covers off of me and walk my bare feet to the window. I open it and look down at the golden gems shining in the night. A smile tugs at my lips. "Kid." I say with softness in my voice. He smiles, his hands are held behind him, as he stands on his flying skateboard. I brush a loose strand of hair behind my right ear. "What's the matter?"
He gives a happy sigh, "I'm so glad you're okay." I raise an eyebrow, "Why wouldn't I be?" His gaze darkens, his eyes look into empty air as he seems to be remembering something. he snaps out of it and gives a nervous smile. It soon disappears and he looks down. "I've been having nightmares." I place my hand on his shoulder then brush it down to hold his hand. "You can talk to me about it." Kid hesitates but nods reluctantly. We don't keep secrets from each other anymore.
..
"So you keep dreaming of a witch who is out to get me?" I ask after he is done explaining the same nightmare he's had for a few weeks now. "Don't worry Kid, there hasn't been sign of a single witch-" I stop talking when I remember what happened earlier. Kid tilts his head slightly with curious eyes. "Maka?" I bite my lip and look away from his golden gaze, dammit. "Maka?" I shiver in excitement when I feel the touch of his hand caress my cheek. He turns my head so that I face him. He stares deep into my emerald eyes, I get lost in his golden pools.
"Maka, what happened?" he whispers softly. I sigh, "When Soul and I went on patrol earlier we saw someone standing there...in the shadows.." I trail off. I take a breath, "It was a witch. But she was different her soul, It was..terrifying, stronger than any witch soul." I say. Kid's eyes widen. Fear and a small tinge of red flicker across them. "Have you told my father?" he says barely above a whisper. I nod, "He believed it was just some passerby..." Kid thinks for a moment, "I think..father's hiding something from us."
Kid was right, Lord Death was hiding something from us. But we didn't know until it was too late.
