Hey, sup? I have been trying out so many ideas for this chapter that it took me several sleepless nights to get it …well… alright. It is a bit depressing I will admit but it is suppose to be at this time in the story. Just to warn you it makes SoMa supporters sad (just this chapter) and it will get happier in the future. I promise ;)

Maka: oh sure you promise…

DV: excuse me?

Maka: both me and Soul are suppose to be tortured these next chapters and with what happened last chapter I don't see how it could get "happier".

DV: well…yeah… you'll have to deal for now. I am working it out as you worry. X)

Maka: yeah sure.. And what is with 'there may not be Maka's POV for a while'?

DV: Ummm… I… ON WITH THE SHOW! *runs away

Maka: hey don't you run away from me! Ugh…DV doesn't own Soul Eater or the characters….and she is going to get hit so hard she will be knocked out for a while… :(

Soul's POV

I felt warm drops fall onto my face.

Was it raining?

No, it would be colder.

I opened my eyes slowing, feeling the results of being thrown against a hard brick wall. ( it almost hurt as much as a Maka chop…almost.)

I noticed a looming shadow over me and looked toward the source. My eyes grew wide.

Maka was over me, shielding me. The proof was there, sticking out of her chest and dripping with blood.

Thick.

Black.

Blood.

(or are my eyes playing tricks on me? Please let it be that…please…)

My eyes were brimming with tears as I watched Maka's light cream shirt turn to a dark, deep black, saturated with blood.

She lifted a shaky hand to my face, "I'm sorry," she whispered. Shock took me over as I watched the blood drip from her mouth, down her face and onto my face. Her soft hand was yanked away from me as the attacker lifted her from off of me (while still she was still stuck on the blade), ripped her from the weapon and threw her aside. My shock then was replaced by something else, stronger than anger, overflowing with intent to kill.

I…I like it.

I lunged at him, catching him off guard, I sunk my blade deep into his chest and decided to rip through it slowly. Feeling the blade pierce his internal organs and shred through the muscles, spilling blood down my blade and onto the cobblestone streets below.

I pulled the weapon out of him, only wanting to kill him next blow (if possible).

He held his shoulder ( which was still gushing blood) and started backing away into the shadows. I don't think so. I ran after him at full speed only to find my face planted in a brick wall. I punched the ground, the street caving in around my fist. He was gone.

I turned and walked to my partner. Her breathing was shallow and slowing, the puddle of blood under her was seeping through every crack in the road, creating a woven pattern of blackness. Maka's skin had been stripped from all color and warmth.

I knelt down and picked her up. Her face twisted in pain as I lifted her and carried her bridal style down the road. I need to find a place to rest and to find help for Maka. She had lost a great amount of blood and was in great danger as long as we were here( even bigger if we are in the open).

I found an abandoned hospital down a few blocks, the glass doors shattered. I carefully stepped through the door (literally) and found a room deep in the hospital's second floor. I set Maka on one of the beds as softly as I could. I hurried to the cabinet, there might be some medicine or gauze or something to help her. Anything to help her would be good. There was a bottle of Ibuprofen and dust. Great (sarcastic).

I walked back to the blood stained girl that was waiting ever-so patiently for me to be back at her side. She smiled weakly at me as I pulled up a chair next to her.

I put two pills in my mouth, a long with a sip of water, and leaned in towards her. Putting my lips against hers, her mouth open just enough to get the pills through. I stayed a few seconds longer (and wanting to stay there longer) but if I it had been any longer she wouldn't have been able to breathe. I mentally sighed as I got up from the chair, feeling a light tug on my sleeve. Maka had her hand around my wrist, her eyes pleading with me, asking me to stay. "Soul… thank you." She said closing her eyes.

I felt her touch disappear from me.

"Maka?"

No answer.

"Maka?" She stirred slightly.

A wave of relief hit me, she was just tired. But with all the blood she painted the street with I not too sure if she should. I pulled out my phone and went through the contacts. Lord Death was highlighted in white, I skipped over it and went to the next best thing: Stein.

He told me how to temporarily help Maka stay alive while they tried to get to our location, then he hung up. What a pleasant guy, he could have given me a little warning but hey who's complaining?

I went back to Maka quickly, she was even paler than before (is that even possible?). I leaned her forward and took off her blood stained vest, then undid her blouse, exposing the gaping wound in her torso. Guilt tugged at my heart strings. 'Why? Why did she protect me?' I mentally yelled at myself while putting some bandages over her wounds and taping them down. I turned her on her side (to save the other lung) and went back to looking around. There wasn't much, I have to admit.

The hospital could have been raided by people early on, yet it seemed impossible, I haven't seen a single dead body while here. He shook his head to perish the thought. Even if there were there was only one he'd be uncomfortable seeing…. No..No. That won't happen Stein will save her. I hope.

The sounds of a helicopter came down onto the streets below, they were here. Alright!

I picked Maka up and carried her to the helicopter where we were greeted with urgency. Stein took Maka from my arms and set her on a table.

I squeezed her hand as we took off, "Maka, please be okay….please…don't leave me."

Well that was the 12th chapter. omg i cannot beleive i just said that... 12th! Yay! it makes me happi.

I know that Stein got there fast but we were running out of time for Maka...
