Tegan: How did I get to chapter 4? I don't know either. If you've read this far, thank you so much! It's the people like you that keep me writing.

Kid: I would like to say thank you also! Thank you to all you people out there who like the number 8, and all of you who love symmetry. It's great, isn't it?

Tegan: Okay Kid, your time's up.

DISCLAIMER- I do not own any of the characters from Soul Eater except my OC Laina…I wish I owned Death the Kid…

Chapter 4

The hospital bed was still uncomfortable when I awoke. I quickly swung my legs over the side and strode out the door.

3 feet away from the exit to the school, the intercom echoed. "Ms. Laina Zin. Please report to the Death Room." I jumped 4 feet into the air. I didn't know they used the intercom after school hours…I spun around 180 degrees and sulked towards the Death Room. When I reached the giant door, I gave it a slight knock, and immediately, it opened. No one was in the room. I trudged up the steps to the creepy, yet elegant, mirror.

"42-42-564, when you want to knock on Death's door," I whispered as I slowly wrote the numbers on the mirror's thin glass. A white masked face popped up. "Hello Lord Death. Meister Laina Zin reporting in."

"Oh!" says a bouncy Lord Death, "La-La-La-Laina! How ya doing kiddo? Listen. I heard that you were the Dark Meister Weapon. Why didn't you tell us kiddo?"

"Well…I kind of didn't know…I have a small voice inside my head…that's what I was yelling at…"

"Hmm…curious. I've done research on the Dark Meister Weapon, I didn't know anything about that. Obviously, you've realized that this must be a secret. Most of our staff members will have to know though. Trouble is, me don't need another Medusa problem…What to do, what to do?" I stand there playing with the bottom of my sweatshirt. "Well, I'll figure out something later. So, how's school-" an annoying ping sounds in the background. "Oh…Laina, could you wait just a moment? It's a call from Sid."

"Yes sir." I reply. Can I go home yet? The mirror grows black, and I stand there staring at my reflection.

About 2 minutes later, Lord Death's figure appeared back in the mirror. "Laina…Kiddo…I've got some bad news…Medusa's henchmen entered the city…and…demolished the outside of town. I believe that's where you and you mother live." My eyes were fixed on the Shinigami.

"…What?" I yelled.

"I'm sorry L-" I dropped my backpack off my shoulder and sprinted as fast as I could towards the outskirts of town.

It was true…the whole house was gone, with some planks of wood left behind. I stared at it as I dropped down onto my knees and cried my eyes out. My nose started dripping onto the pavement, but I really didn't care. My home. My mom. All gone.

"Oh. Well that's unfortunate," says my Voice in my head.

"UNFORTUNATE? THIS SUCKS! GET OUT OF MY HEAD, YOU…YOU…" I wasn't really sure how to insult it…"You poop head…" I mumble.

"Poop head? Who're you calling a poop head?" a voice replied. But it wasn't the one inside my head. My head jerked around to reveal a woman. She was wearing a black, full body outfit. Her arms were covered in tattoos that resembled snakes. A hood was pulled over her head, but I could still see two strands of yellow hair curling down the middle of her body. "It's not nice to insult people." She paced towards me and bent down so our eyes met. They were gold, but ugly gold, not like Kid's eyes. She inspected me up and down. "Hm. You're the Dark Meister Weapon? You're too skinny. It's fine. We'll get some meat on those bones." Then, giant arrows shot up out of the ground and twisted around my arms and legs.

"What-?"

"Don't worry little girl. I promise I'll take good care of you." Just then, everything got blurry, then dark.
