Jesus, I'm super sorry about the extremely late update. But I screwed up with my dad and got grounded for the weekend. I also lost all my files when I crashed my comp. Please forgive me and enjoy. This will be a long one as an apology. R&R please. I don't own Soul Eater. I do own my OC's.
WARNING: THIS STORY WILL HAVE SOME GRAPHIC SCENES. FORGIVE ME BUT MY TWISTED SADISTIC SIDE INSISTS ON IT. SHE WANTS TO SEE EMI SUFFER. POOR EMI. SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S COMING.
/Apartment of Emi, Amaya, and Ker\
Once I fell asleep, all I could dream about was Kid. Damn him for being so cute!! Anyway, I honestly liked it. Nothing bad happened so I continued with my dream photo book of him. Of course all good dreams have to end. But mine ended really weirdly. And I blame Amaya. As always.
Close to the end, one line scared the shit out of me. Of course it was Amaya's doing.
"The Beast and the Harlot!!!" The voice shouted as music blared in the background. When that rang through the room I yelped and fell flat on my face off the bed.
"Damn it all!!" I shouted, but it was muffled. Damn. I stood up and brushed myself off and groaned as I stretched.
"Oh, we're going on a mission today. Our first mission!" I smiled and went into my bathroom to change into my normal attire. Maka had told me that it would be cold so I grabbed a dark brown trench coat and a scarf. After I did my normal morning routine, I walked down the stairs and saw Ker petting Amaya's pet bird and Amaya was blasting the song 'Cold' by Crossfade.
"Why am I not surprised?" I shouted over the music. Amaya looked up and waved my comment off with her hand and Ker bounced over and shouted back.
"Today we have our first mission!" Ker rejoiced as she skipped into the kitchen.
"Lower the volume!" I shouted to my red haired weapon who stuck her tongue out at me. Infuriating me even more.
"Turn the stupid music off!!!" I yelled through all the noise.
Thank good she lowered it and raised an eyebrow at me and smirked.
"Someone a little cranky?" She smirked in false sincerity. I glared at her.
"Yes, because I was woken up by AVENGED SEVENFOLD!!" I yelled at her and pointed at the stereo.
"It's awesome right? What ever. You should be happy you're going on a mission with 'Kid-kun'. She mocked a slutty cheerleader's tone. I turned around and went into the kitchen. It was only 8 so we have about an hour before we head over to Shibusen.
Ker was eating a rice krispies treat and Amaya walked in and got a chocolate poptart.
"No wonder you weigh like 90 pounds." I muttered as I got out some cereal.
"And I'm proud of it, bitch!" She shouted as she threw her fist in the air and munched on the cursed thing.
"Freak."
"Damn Straight!"
"You two hate each other don't ya?" Ker challenged as she finished her krispie.
"Yep." I said loud enough that she would hear it. "Get ready for our mission. Oh, and take a coat and scarf! It'll be cold!!" I called to Amaya, who most likely ignored me. No wonder there.
After we all ate and got everything we needed we set out for Shibusen. Amaya just loves to taunt me for not being good in any sport or type of transportation.
She ended up bringing her skateboard. She was like 10 feet ahead of me and Ker was 5 feet away. Like a march.
We passed by all sorts of stores, at a few I would stop and look. Then run to try and catch up. Though I never did. Once we reached the school, I was too tired to walk up the stairs so Amaya dragged me up by my collar. Different people looked at us like we were crazy. We are, believe me.
"Hey guys!!" Maka shouted waving her hand in the air.
"Hiya!" I called as I stood up and walked over. Everyone was there.
"Hello." Tsubaki waved as she was trying to calm Black*Star who was in a staring contest against Amaya. Amaya was winning. Ker and Patti were reading a picture book of animals. Liz was looking at her nails.
Soul was watching the staring contest and muttering something about it's not cool. Kid and Maka were talking to me…more Maka; Kid actually just listened and would occasionally look at me.
"Guys, we need to set off on the mission." Maka reminded everyone. Everyone nodded and when they didn't hear Black*Star say anything, we all turned around to find Tsubaki having hysterics and Black*Star lying lifeless on the ground with a HUGE bump on his head.
Amaya was smiling slyly and was holding her skateboard like a baseball bat.
"Um…let's go." Maka started down the steps with everyone following. Black*Star was being dragged by Tsubaki though from the beating he received from Amaya, who was riding her skateboard, which I found…Kid has one! No way would he like someone like me… Anime tears rolled down my cheeks mentally. *sniff*.
"Where exactly are we going?" I asked wearily as we rode an old and run down train through someplace in Hokkaido. We were all sitting at the back of the train away from the people, some who looked kinda scary.
"An abandoned mansion. There have been a number of disappearances that all point towards the mansion. Police officer's went to investigate but never came back." Kid sighed and looked around at the completely unsymmetrical and dirty train. I think he was close to having hysterics.
"Oh…" I closed my mouth and turned my head towards the window and hung my head in despair. Of course my first mission would involve a haunted place, where people disappeared. Like a horror movie. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I knew who it was when I saw out of the corner of my eye a skull ring.
I turned to see Kid smiling a reassuring smile. If it wasn't for Amaya being there with her camera phone, I would have fainted.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." His smile was so reassuring and adorable, I blushed slightly and nodded. He took his hand off my shoulder, though I wish he didn't, and looked out the window. I sighed and looked out too.
/Abandoned Mansion\
We finally reached it after what seemed like days, which were like what 2 hours. God, I need to work out more.
'No shit, really?' Amaya laughed sarcastically. I threw her a warning glance which she, big surprise, ignored.
"Here it is. The Raido Mansion. Said to be haunted. At midnight, a huge bear type monster rises and attacks anyone near. Devouring their soul and leaving the body drained of blood." Maka read from a piece of paper given to her by Shinigami-Sama.
"That sounds creepy!" Liz squeaked as she hid behind Patti, who laughed. Kid sighed and rubbed his head.
He looked cute doing that….What the hell…Therapist here I come.
'I know a really good one. He might help you for free, just mention that your friends with O-Yuki…Hehe.' Amaya laughed sadistically. I won't even ask, you know what.
"So, we have to kill the bear thing?" I asked pointing at the huge mansion.
"Yep. In simple terms." Maka nodded and turned to face everyone.
"We're gonna split into teams of two. Emi, Amaya and Ker, you guys Kid, Liz, and Patti will be one team. Black*Star and Tsubaki will be with me and Soul. Get your weapons and let's go." By the time we had gotten to the mansion it was already 11:45 P.M so it'll be coming out soon. Ker bounced up next to me and Amaya walked up and poked me in the shoulder.
'This might be your chance to talk to Kid.' She noted as she walked in front of me.
We all walked into the mansion and were greeted by a strong and cold gust of wind. I shivered and so did Maka and Liz.
"PLEASE NO BEAR CAN TAKE OUT THE ALMIGHTLY BLACK*STAR!" Black*Star boasted and was hit in the head with a thick encyclopedia by Maka.
"QUIET! You'll alert the monster!" Maka hissed. "Now we'll go left. Emi and Kid, You guys go right. Good! ONWARD!" Maka whispered and set off.
I watched as they marched away. I sighed and turned around and ran up next to Kid, who was waiting for me. Nice of him.
"Maybe we won't run into the bear monster. Maybe Maka and Black*Star will get it." Liz repeated multiple times in an attempt to calm herself. I looked at her out of the corner of my eye and saw she was clinging to Patti's jacket.
"Calm down. All you would have to do if we encounter it, is transform and left me shoot it." Kid looked over his shoulder at Liz, who nodded. She was still scared but Kid kinda made her feel better.
I looked forward and searched my surroundings. I noticed that the walls were starting to turn a dark color than the crème color I saw earlier.
"Weren't the walls a lighter color than this?" I looked at Kid who looked back and forth from the colors and frowned.
"Yes. Why is it changing colors?" Kid walked ahead, followed by our weapons, then me. As we walked farther into the corridors, I noticed something I didn't before. The walls were red.
'Red' I stopped at stared at the wall; I was so lost in thought I didn't notice I was alone. When I did I sorta panicked. And the fact that it was freezing didn't help at all.
I looked around frantically and gave up when I didn't see anyone. I started walking towards where I thought Kid and the others were going. I came across a beautiful golden door with red designs that, to me, looked like waves lining the sides.
"Wow." I admired it and curiosity got the better of me and I opened the door. Worst mistake of my whole life. I will NEVER understand why I opened the door.
It was pitch black, save for the faint light coming from the moon out of a very small circular window placed at the top of the wall on the far end of the room. Thunder could be heard outside as a massive storm started to settle in. I walked in slowly careful not to trip on anything. The door closed as I let go.
A few seconds upon entering the room, a powerful and strong smell hit me. I coughed, mostly because I don't do well when it comes to strong stenches.
I honestly don't know what it is. If I did…I would say. As I walked deeper into the room and slipped and almost fell face first onto the dark ground. I caught myself in time but noticed something slippery on the ground, the cause of my near concussion.
Lightning stuck outside lighting the room a second enough for me to see the liquid was red and sticky. I stared wide eyed at it as I realized what it was.
"B…blood?" I stepped back in shock and fear. Blood. Why was there blood in this room? Shouldn't it be in like a basement or something?
I was still backing up when I hit a wall. My hand moved around looking for a doorknob or something that would greet me with sanctuary. I found something that felt like a light switch.
I hesitated with flipping the switch. Did I really want to know what was in this room? No. I didn't. But like with the door, I flipped the switch. If I live, I will go to therapy and fix my problem. Again, If I live. I knew I wouldn't if when I saw the room in light.
My eyes widened as I stared at what lined the walls and floors. Bodies. Blood. Of course that's what would be there. But that's not what scared me out of my mind. It was the shape the bodies were in. It was like I was in some twisted horror movie.
The bodies were men, female, children, even babies! They all had thousands of cuts covering their bodies. They were dressed in rags and were skinny enough that they passed for a stick. No seriously.
Their throats were sliced open, close to being decapitated, and part of the esophagus could be seen sticking out, tissue and muscle were seeping out. Their necks, where it wasn't cut, were bruised pure black and had bone piercing the delicate and fragile skin. Like a pin slicing through rice paper.
(A/N: If you don't know. Rice paper is a very delicate and fragile type of paper. It can be easily ripped or torn by putting to much pressure on it. I would know. Sorry bout that)
A few of the corpses necks, were so badly broken or severed that their heads (from blood loss) were a pure black and went completely back, hanging on by a few threads of flesh and tissue. Even those were starting to disintegrate. A few bodies had black patches over their body and from what I could see, they were drained of blood.
Their eyes were open and stared at the ceiling with a look of pure horror and fear. Their eyes had huge and thick black circles completely around it. Blood was streaming out of the eyes like tears.
Their arms and legs were twisted in a way that wasn't possible for a toy doll to do. The bones stuck out leaving deep and long gashes of flesh open, to where you can see the muscle and tissue clearly. More than half of the bodies were missing pieces of their bodies such as arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, toes.
The missing parts were masterly placed and fixed on right side of the walls, hung by pieces of bones from the unlucky and mutilated bodies. The fingers and toes were missing the nails, which were displayed in jars on shelves lining the sections of wall not covered in blood and body parts.
On the faces of a few bodies were missing eyeballs. It was easy to tell the eyes had been violently and painfully torn from the socket. The different parts of the leftover eyeball were dangling from the dismembered body.
The eyes, all were blue, green, and two or three were purple and grey, were held in the mutilated hands positioned to hold them. They all faced the door, where I was standing. They were watching like they were still connected to their body. They all had a murky color mixed with its original color.
I looked back, wearily and hesitantly at the bodies. I failed to notice before that their stomachs were sliced open. Their organs and intestines were scattered all across the room. Blood trails left from where the murderer moved the organs and intestines place to place. I was breathing heavily now.
This was too much. How could someone do this? No. No human could do this. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something dangling from the wall. I closed my eyes and turned my head towards it. Slowly and wearily, I opened my eyes. I froze and felt my blood run cold. My eyes widened in pure shock and horror.
Bodies were nailed and hung all across the left wall. A few were hung by a rope, but….The was a giant, no huge and deep cut going from the person's forehead all the way to their stomach. The skin had claw marks where it was torn open and organs and intestines hung from the dissected bodies.
My knees gave out by then and I fell down. I caught myself. I looked again just to see the rest of the bodies that weren't hanged, were nailed to the wall, again, with their own bones, like they were on a cross.
They had the same cut on their body but unlike the other body…this one didn't have any blood. There were some streaks were the blood drained from the corpse, but that was it.
I felt tears welding in my eyes. I didn't try and stop them. They fell down my cheeks as I put my hands on the sides of my head and closed my eyes.
'These people…they didn't deserve to die. If they did, not like that. No one should have to die that way.' My thoughts swirled around in my head as I cried. I prayed to God. Not for my safety. For the dead people. For them to go to Heaven and their family member's to live.
When I was sure, I had seen enough, I stood up and took one last (Scared) glance at the dead, but of course, that's never the plan. A massive hand/paw with razor sharp claws grabbed my shoulder. Digging the claws into my skin and piercing through the bone.
"Ngh." I yelped and tried to grab my shoulder with my other hand but it was caught in an iron grip and held it to my side.
"How do you like my collection?" A voice growled. Though it sounded like a laugh. The pain started to grow more intense every second.
"Ha, you're pretty brave coming all by yourself." The creature laughed and tightened its grip, causing me to yelp in pain again.
"Brave, no. Curiosity, yes." I spat through gritted teeth. Dammit this thing is really strong!
It smiled and threw me across the room to the center. I slid across the bloody floor, covering my clothes and face in fresh and old blood. Slamming into a mutilated body, I groaned as I moved my arm, which I believe is broken.
He walked over to me, I was on my side trying to get up, and towered over and smiled even bigger.
"You're stupid to try and investigate yourself. You're a mere child." It sneered as it watched me squirm to get up. He laughed and kicked me in the rib, causing a deafening crack of I say two of my ribs…. Shit, ow!!
"Hey!" I managed to shout and grab my side where the broken ribs lay shattered. He laughed even louder and lunged at me. Defensively, I put my arms in front of me.
"That won't help you, girlie!!" It bellowed as it grabbed my throat and started to choke me. This is one fucked up mission. I'm starting to reconsider my idea of going to Shibusen.
"Any reason you killed all those innocent people?" I asked, trying to keep my voice level. He smiled like a psychopath and looked at the bodies.
"It's my hobby. Like those children collect useless toys and cards. I collect bodies, eyes, blood, and well…everything on the right wall." It laughed loudly. How the hell hasn't ANYONE heard this bastard yet? I'll need to ask either God or someone if I live.
"That's sick, these people…blood?" I squeaked.
He smiled psychotically and nodded. "I collect blood. It's a very interesting type of liquid. It's the key to my immortality."
"Immortality?"
"Yes, by drinking it I gain eternal life." He tightened his grip on my neck. I smirked, causing him to look at me questioningly with a raised eyebrow.
"You're willing throw away the lives of these innocent people for your own selfish reasons?"
"I don't care about those people! There are mere parasite's taking resident on God's land!" He shouted looking at the dead bodies frantically.
"Took you long enough, Guys." I frowned and I'm sure my expression went emotionless. His eyes widened and snapped his head around and let out a shriek as something black stabbed him square in the heart. Blood spurt out and landed everywhere.
I felt its hand/paw go limp and fall to the side. Kid ran up and pulled me up. I brushed off my coat and walked past everyone into the hallway.
I could feel their stares bore into the back of my head. I shrugged it off. I walked until I came upon a massive staircase that lead to the lobby and the front door. I walked down and opened the door to the strong downpour.
I walked into the rain and stood there for a few minutes. The images of all those people stayed ingrained in my mind. No therapy could rid me of them. My mom always told me your would get pneumonia if you stayed in the rain to long.
"Wonder if it's true." I asked myself. But of course someone had to follow me. And it wasn't the person I wanted to see at that moment.
"Are you okay? You ran out before anyone could ask." Kid's voice brought me out of my thoughts. I decided I wouldn't look at him. I can't even think about my fucked up memories of a few minutes ago in peace.
I hung my head in despair and I kinda shut down after that. I entered my little world. Woo. I opened my eyes to see I was in a room. The hell? It was pure white. Like a hospital. Oh damn.
'Hello.' A voice called out. I turned and saw a little girl. She was looking at me, I looked around trying to see if anyone else was there.
'Me?" I asked pointing at myself.
'Of course. Who else is here?' She laughed. She was pretty. Kinda like a Victorian type porcelain doll. Long brown hair that curled down her back. Beautiful white and flawless skin that glowed slightly. Weirdly enough, she wore a simple long purple dress to her ankles and no shoes.
'What are you doing here?' I asked bluntly. She tilted her head and frowned.
'I…don't know.' She looked around and shrugged.
'Hm…'
"What is it?' She asked me with eyes staring into mine. A little bit freaky.
"Nothing about you. I'm starting to think maybe my idea of going to Shibusen was a dumb one.' I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly. "Sorry, I get lost in though easily.' I laughed.
"Oh, I can tell. Isn't Shibusen that school for weapons and meisters?' Damn, this girl is good. She's like what 8…9?
'Yep. I go there and I got assigned a mission to investigate the Raido Mansion.'
Her eyes widened in surprise…and I think fear. 'But a monster lives there!!! You could have died!' She flailed her arms up and down.
'Oh, I wasn't alone. It was me and some friends.' I pointed out. She looked at me skeptically and scoffed.
'Honestly, you sure? You don't like there were friends to help.' She motioned towards my blood stained clothes.
'I encountered it first before anyone else.' I looked around. This place was too quiet. I don't like it.
'Do you know where I am?' I looked at her, waiting for an answer. She looked around then at me.
'I don't know. I'm considering you mind.' She shrugged and pouted. 'Hey, why are you here?'
'Um…' I shrugged and sighed. 'This is turning into a suckish mission….wait…my mind?!!' I started to panic now. If I'm in my mind, then my body is back at the mansion……Ah! I'm so confused.
'So what, I'm my soul?' I looked at the girl, who looked at me in confusion, then realization.
'Nope. Subconscious.' She smiled triumphantly with her discovery. I glared at her. She stiffened and turned away from my gaze.
'I don't like it here. How do I get back to being me in my body?' I asked when I recovered from my little mental tirade.
'I dunno. Maybe you need to concentrate on going back to your body!' She concluded, scratching her head.
'Concentrate…' I closed my eyes and cleared my mind and thought of going back to my body. I opened my eyes to see the girl looking at me first in anxiety then disappointment.
'Didn't work?' She looked at me sadly.
I shook my head and groaned. 'What do I have to do to get back!!' I shouted and pounded the wall I was closes to too. It started to glow and I twitched and backed up next to the girl. She was quivering and clung to my coat.
The walls all started to glow a brilliant yellow and then went black.
'Um…what just happened?' The girl cowered and tightened her grip on my coat.
'I…I don't…know.' I looked around and jumped when a screen appeared. It started to glow a grayish white and then a clip started to roll.
'That's…That's my mom. And my dad.' I stared in awe.
The screen should a beautiful woman with long silky brown hair, flawless skin, and purple eyes, holding a small bear.
A man with short and unruly black hair stood behind the woman laughing as a small girl maybe 4 bounced up towards the bear and tackled it out of the woman's hands.
'Those you're parent's?' The girl who clung to my coat asked.
'Yes.' I looked at her with eyes that showed sadness and pain.
'What's wrong?' She asked looking at me in worry. I shook my head.
'Nothing.' I turned my attention back to the clip.
The girl rolled around the floor holding the bear in a death grip. She was laughing and rolling into a pile of empty boxes, which inevitably fell on her.
The man ran up and dug up the little girl who was having hysterics. The girl's short red hair messily clung to her face.
'Karia. Come here baby.' The woman, my mother, called to the girl.
In the very back a little girl, peeked her head out of the room and stared silently at the family. Tears started to form in her eyes as she retreated back to the lonely room.
The clip started to fade as the woman, man, and girl gathered into a hug.
"Who was the girl in the back?'
'Me.' I hung my head as I felt tears weld in my eyes.
'Curia.' The girl smiled slightly.
'Hn?' I looked at her in confusion.
'My name. It's Curia.' She smiled at me. I smiled back and sighed.
'Nice to meet you Curia. I'm Emi.' I looked back at the screen and frowned.
'Hi, Emi. Anyway. Who was Karia?'
'My sister. She was everything I wasn't. Beautiful, smart, popular, loved…but she was mean. Especially to me. I would always try and tell my parents but they would get mad for 'lying' and send me to my room.' I wiped the tears from my eyes with the back of my hand.
'She left to go to school with her friends in California. That was when she was 14. I haven't seen her since.'
'Oh. I get it. Hey, look! Something else is playing!' Curia tugged on my sleeve, so I looked up to see what other depressing memory will show it self.
The next clip, showed my first day at Shibusen. When I met everyone, Maka, Soul, Black*Star, Tsubaki, Liz, Patti, and Kid. I played out the whole day, from when I stepped into the school to the when we got home.
'Who was the boy with the three white stripes?' Curia asked looking at Kid with her head tilted to the side.
"Death the Kid. Shinigami-Sama's son.' I said automatically.
'He has a son? Interesting.'
'Yeah. Interesting.' I muttered low enough where she didn't hear anything.
'It's the Raido mansion.' Curia pointed to the beautiful mansion.
The next one showed our arrival to the mansion, to the teams, to the room of deaths, I shuddered at that one. I also covered Curia's eyes from the room. All the way to me walking outside into the rain and Kid finding me.
We didn't move as the clip started to fade to grey then black. Soon the screen disintegrated and we were left in the white room yet again.
'You like this Kid?' Curia asked, smiling slyly. I blushed but turned my head before she could see.
'N…n..No' I stuttered, yeah smooth. She wouldn't think you have a crush on him after that, would she?? Damn, I need to work on that.
'You don't have to lie. No one's going to hear. I wouldn't tell anyone anyway.' She smiled and giggled.
'Fine, yes.' I mumbled quickly.
'Aw! He is cute.' Curia assured.
'Yep.' I laughed and Curia joined in.
'Hey. What's that?' Curia asked pointing at a blue door with white and red swirls decorating it.
'I don't know. I'll check it out.' I volunteered and walked up to it. I grabbed the doorknob and slowly opened it. It was black except for a small orb floating on a white pedestal.
Curia walked up behind me and peered at the orb. She walked over and stared at it. I walked up behind her and kneeled down to get a better look at it.
'Oh! I know what this is!!' Curia cried out and bounced up and down.
'What is it?'
'It's like a portal. It separates your subconscious from your soul. If you wanna go back to your body just grab it!!' Curia tugged on my wrist.
'Ok, ok.' I reached out and touched it. It started to glow a light purple. My hand started to fade and disappear into the orb, slowly my boy started to waver and fade into it.
'Bye, Emi.' Curia smiled and waved.
'Bye, Curia.' I smiled and laughed
Once I didn't see her, I realized it was dark. I knew I wasn't in my body because I could see my hands and body. Great now what am I gonna- oww!!!
The fuck!? Damn I have a major headache!! Ow ow ow. Did I get hit by a train? No there weren't any train's by the mansion.
Hm…I didn't feel any pain when I was back in the room with Curia… The pain got worse to the extent that my knees gave out and I fell down. I landed (painfully) on my back and just kinda stayed there.
I tried. I failed. I'm not getting up. I'll lay here until the pain subsides. Of course my prayers never go answered so that's sucks.
'Nice to see you again.' A voice chuckled from the darkness that surrounded me. I flinched when I realized whose voice it was.
'K…Karia?' My eyes widened when I saw her walk out of the shadows with her hands on her hips and smirking at me.
"Emi. How are you?' She sneered. I winced when I tried to move my shoulder. I'm guessing she noticed.
'In this room, all the injures your body received transfers to you. Let's see you try and get up.' She laughed a menacing and cold laugh. I quivered. I haven't heard her laugh in years, and I really didn't want to hear it now.
'Why are you here? Actually, How are you here?' I asked standing up using my uninjured arm. I managed to get into a half crouch position.
'Why, because I wanted to see. How,…well. One word: Witch.' She sneered and burst in laughter that would of made Black*Star quiver.
'It makes sense with how you acted.' I muttered. Stupid on my part. Karia doesn't like people talking back to her.
'Let's see if you survive my wrath.' She hissed and lunged towards me. Crap, now I'm screwed for sure.
There's the next chapter. I'll have the next one up sometime before Friday. Well, I hope you enjoyed the extra long chapter. I did it in like a few hours. A new record. Poor Emi.
Yes, I have a twisted and sadistic mind. Ha, I blame all the horror movies and books I've seen and read. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and please R&R
