"What? I have a brother?! Cool" I exclaimed.

"Cool, I like you" Soul snickered, I smiled at him. Mama said she'll let us have some time to get used to it, so she left. There was an awkward silence.

"So, how did you go into foster care?" I asked, shoot, bad question. He just looked at me, staring, not saying a word.

"Can you show me around the woods?" He asked, "I need some air." I smiled and nodded, we then walked out to the woods.

"About earlier, you don't have to tell me. Sorry I asked, it's too personal" I said, guilt is rising up, he sighed.

"I'll tell ya" he sighed, "uh, you sure?" I asked with a jump. "Yeah, you'll find out sooner or later anyway" he said while scratching the back of his head. He kicked a stone.

"My mum used to abuse me, she started when I was five years old. When I was eight years old, I started getting annoyed and fought back. Then she got annoyed, and it was even worse, Wes, my brother, started stealing when dad took me, 'cause mum starting hitting him. Dad was the only one who cared for me. But he died, just before I turned nine, so after that, mum and Wes left me in my bedroom. They got locked up for abandoning me, and stealing, and abuse. A few weeks after I was in the foster home. As soon as the police and fire brigade found me, they immediately put me in 'Nevada's Foster Care Home', and I lived there until a few days ago. Your mother wasn't sure wether she would be able to keep me, so she didn't tell you. Just to clarify, the fire brigade came because Wes set the house on fire and locked me in my room. It was horrible-" he got cut off by me leaping and hugging him.

"I'm so sorry Soul, you really didn't have to tell me!" I cried, he smiled and hugged me back.

"It's alright Maka, you were gonna find out eventually" he smiled. We parted and it got really awkward. Soul smirked and asked me how fast I was. His question really confused me, but I said, "not very fast."

"Hmm, interesting. Let's have a race, I wanna see" he told, I smiled, really confused, but just smiled and nodded.

"Ready, set... Go!" He said, we raced up to the big white oak tree. He beat me of course. Soul smirked at me, what's with him?

"Why do you keep smirking? Is there something wrong?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Just thinking about something amusing" he then examined by body. "Is it something to do with me?"

"Uh, yeah, sort of" he trailed off. "We found out you're slower than me, so, to make it more fun, I'll slow down. Plus you know these woods more than me."

"Uh, I don't know all the woods, just this part" I stopped, crap, what have I done?! "But what are y-you getting at?" I tried to ask calmly, but stuttering didn't help.

"Haha, little stutter there. Don't worry, oh, it's starting to get dark and rain-" he looked up to the sky. "Let's start now. Just. Run."

Soon as he looked at me with his lustful or bloodlust eyes, I ran. Past the big white oak tree and into the darker side of the forest, in which, I do not know. Knocking sounds were echoing through the air, he must me tapping a stick. Just to scare me. Got to admit, it was working, but why is he doing this? We just met, and he seemed so nice before, so why is he scaring me?

"Maka~" he whispered. I looked around me, then turned around to see him in front of me. Didn't half make me jump, I started to tremble.

"You better run" he whispered with a big, teeth showing grin on his face. So I ran, away from him.

(A few moments later)

Damn, I'm lost! And worse of all, Soul is chasing me. Oh, he was right, it started tipping down! Ugh, why me, why now. I looked at my watch, and it said it was 19:46, ugh, I've been running since six. I started getting tired, so I rested on a tree trunk, not for long.

"Give you five seconds to move, or I get you" I heard his voice echo around me, I don't know where he is, but I ran. Why is he doing this?

(End of flashback)

I've basically just ran since six, every time I try to rest Soul whispers that he gonna get me. It's so dark! I can't see a thing! All I heard was chuckling and rustling, it's so scary! My feet were getting exhausting and are hurting like hell. I've almost fallen at least ten times from it.

It's now 23:15, I'm so tired. "Maka~ come to your brother" he sang, man, my new brother creeps me out. I stopped in my tracks and turned around.

"Soul! Why are you doing this?!" I cried. He appeared in front of me, and smirked. But that smirk disappeared when he saw me with my head down, and a worried look came across his face.

"Are you crying?"
