Saving Maka

Chapter 3-Pictures

Soul's POV

I woke up in a strange place. I notice that I was on a couch. I began to sit up when I looked around to see an old woman by a stove cooking something. She turned around and saw me up.

"It is good to see you up, young man." She spoke.

"Where am I?"

"You are at my place. I found you in the park two days ago. You looked like you were in a fight."

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Oh, how rude of me. My name is Clair. I'm the one who brought you here."

"Where is Maka? Is she here too?"

"Who is Maka?"

"She is my girlfriend. She has dirty blonde hair that are in pigtails. She has green eyes." I explained while closing my eyes. My eyes opened when I heard Clair moved.

"I didn't see her. All I did find by you was this black ribbon." Clair said as she walked over to the table and picked the ribbon up. She brought it to me. My eyes got wide as she handed me the ribbon. I looked at.

"That is Maka's. I know it. She must have been kidnap by that jackass."

"Who was she kidnapped by?"

"His name is Titus." Her eyes got wide, "Do you know him or something?"

"He is the bodyguard for the prince. The prince must really wanted your girlfriend."

"What does the prince want with Maka?" I asked.

"Just a bout a year ago, the young prince came back from boarding school and over throne his father. No one knew how it happen, but the King has been missing. A lot of people think the King was kill, but I don't think so. I think the king is still a live and somewhere in the castle. In order for the prince to become a king of the country, he needs to marry, and I think that is the reason he kidnapped your girlfriend. I know he has searched for the perfect girl..."

"And he chose Maka, didn't he?" I asked.

"It looks like it. Who knows what he will do with her after he marry her."

"How do I get into the castle?"

"The only way you can get into the castle is by being invited, but the prince knows who you are. If you are going to try to get inside, you are going need help."

"I know who I can count on. I just need a mirror. By the way, my name is.."

"Soul. Soul Evan, or what you like to go by Soul Eater. I know who you are and everything about you. I know more about you than you ever know. Here. Use this mirror to call Lord Death." Clair said as she handed me one.

"How do you know Lord Death?"

"I will tell after you call him. You are going need all the help you can get. Just trust me."

"Ok." I said confused, "42-42-564, whenever you knock on Death' door." The mirror when bright for a second, and Lord Death's face showed up.

"Hi ya, Soul! What's up?" He asked.

"I need help."

"What is the problem?"

"Maka was kidnap by the prince of this country. He has her somewhere in the castle."

"Oh dear, this isn't good. I will send Kid, Liz, Patty, Black*Star, and Tsubaki. I will also send Stein, Spirit, Sid, and Naigus."

"Is it a good idea to Spirit?"

"Soul, you are going need all the help you can get. Plus, I will have Stein keep Spirit in control. Right now, all the matters is getting Maka back. I just sent the message out. They should be there I about a half a day. Keep the faith. We will get her back. Keep me posted!" Lord Death said before he hung up.

"Did he say Spirit? Like Spirit Albarn?" Clair asked. I looked at her.

"Yes, and how do you know Spirit?"

"He is Bella's ex son-in-law. Her daughter, Kami, called it quits after she found out he was cheating on her. I know Kami left her daughter, Bella's granddaughter Maka, behind. I haven't seen Maka since she was a baby. I always wondering how she is doing now. Bella loved Maka. It is sad what happen to Bella. Too bad that Maka will never meet her grandmother." Clair said sadly. I thought for a second when I remembered that I had a picture of Maka in my wallet. I carry one in my wallet and my jacket. I just never told Maka about it. I sat up all the way, reached into my pocket, and pulled out my wallet. I took out the picture of Maka. I handed it to Clair. Clair began to cry.

"This is Maka Albarn, my meister, my girlfriend, and love of my life."

"She looks so much like Kami and Bella. They where both meisters. I'm glad Maka followed in their footsteps. She grew up beautiful. Thank you for showing me." Clair said as she handed me the picture back. She wiped her eyes I put it back in my wallet, and put my wallet back into my pocket.

"Maka is one of the best meister that DWMA. You said you knew me? How do you know a lot about me?" Clair smiled.

"I know your grandmother, Anna. She is one of my best friends just Bella was. Anna, your grandmother, Bella, and I where best friends. Your grandmother, Anna, brought all three of you boys one summer over while your parents where busy."

"I think you are mistaking. There is only Wes and me."

"I am right. There are three of you." I looked at her confused.

"I don't understand."

"I guess no one ever told you, but you have a twin brother. He looked just you. The only difference between you and him was he had green eyes."

"Why didn't anyone tell me this?" I asked growling.

"Soul, it happened when you where very young. I think you where three or four when someone broke into your hotel room and kidnapped your bother. The guy was trying to kidnap you too, but you wasn't in the room. When your parents found out that your brother was gone, they were heartbroken. They did everything to find him, but they had no luck. He just disappeared. No one had an idea where he went or you took him. After that night, your parents poured everything into you until you ran away. I can tell you are happy now."

"Yes, I am happy. What was my brother's name?" I asked.

"He is name was …..."

(Maka POV)

I woke up in a damp, dark room with bars all around it I was laying on a pile of straw. I looked around.

"Well, hello, young lady." A man said in his forties walked by the right wall.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"I'm King Marcus. I was put down here by my son, Lucas. He over powered me somehow, and he took over the throne. What is your name, young lady?"

"My name is Maka. How did I get down here?"

"My son's bodyguard, Titus, brought you down here two days ago. You were out for two days. By the way your knee look, you must been in a fight."

"Titus was chasing my boyfriend, Soul, and I for some reason. He said that the his boss, the prince, wants me for something."

"My son wants to marry you, so he become king. That must be the reason he kidnapped you."

"Well, I don't want to marry him. I want to be with Soul. Now, how do I get out of here?"

"You can't escape. If you even did manage to escaped, the guards would get you. You are stuck here until the guards come and get you, or you die. I know it sounds harsh, but it is the truth."

"Well, I will get out, and once I do, I promise you that I will free you too. Your son has no right to do this to us."

"I like your spirit, Maka. It reminds me so much like my wife. She passed shortly after Lucas was born." Marcus smiled at me with a tear in his eye.

"I promise, King Marcus, I will get us out of here." I said.

"I have a feeling you will, Maka. Keep the faith."

(Lucas's POV)

"What do you mean you put her in the tower?" I yelled at Titus as I looked down at him as he kneel in front of me.

"I didn't know where you would want me to take her. I'm so sorry, my Lord."

"You are lucky that you are my bodyguard, because if you wasn't, it would be off with your head. Alexios! Come here now!" I yelled. A boy who was seventeen with white hair and green eyes came up to me and bow.

"Yes, your highness. What would you like me to do?" He asked.

"Go get the girl from the tower, and give her a room. I think there is a room she could use next to mine. Also, I'm making you her personal bodyguard. I want two ladies in waiting to serve her if she needs anything. Just don't let her go outside the castle walls. We don't want her to run off. Got it?"

"Yes, my Lord. I should go get her now." The boy said as he turned to walk out of the door.

(Maka's POV)

I sat on the pile of straw with my right knee stretched out. It was really swollen, and hurt like hell. I can see a long cut running from right under the knee cap up to middle of my hip. I pulled Soul's jacket closer to me. I felt his inside pocket. I opened it up to find a picture of him and I. I remember when we took it. It was at the park next to the apartment where he asked me out. I smiled and looked at the picture. I miss him so much. I heard footsteps coming, but I didn't care. The footsteps stopped in front of my cage. I heard the door to my cage opened. A young man walked up to me and stopped.

"Excuse miss. I'm here for you." He said clearing his throat. I looked up and put the picture back into the pocket.

"Well, I'm not going anywhere." I hissed. The young man bent down and reached out his hand to me.

"I'm not here to hurt you. I was told to move you somewhere more comforting. Plus, the way your knee look, it looks like you are in pain."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Well, I'm your personal bodyguard, and I would like to serve you. Plus, I think you want to be in a warm place."

"You should go with him, Maka. Don't worry about me. Go and get clean up. I will be right here." Marcus said.

"OK, Lord Marcus." I said as I reached my hand into the young man's hand. He went to help pull me up, and once I got on to my feet, I began to fall forward. The young man caught me.

"There is no way you can walk with that cut on you leg. Let me carry you."

"Ok. I said. The young man put one arm until my legs, and he put his other arm around my shoulders. He picked me up and turned to walk out the cage's door.

"I will be back for you, Lord Marcus. I promise." I yelled over the young man's shoulder as the young man carried me away.
