(Soul's POV)
I walked by her room. I haven't opened the door since she was taken. It's been two days. The fucking police can't do anything and Lord Death hasn't told me if he's found Maka's soul wavelength yet. I can't eat or sleep. I sat on the couch with my face in my hands. "You know you she's gone." The red demon in my mind said.
I was back in the black room dressed in my suit. "I don't want to talk to you."
"It's not like you ever do Soul. You really don't care what I say, unless it had something to do with her. She's going to die you know."
"Shut your fucking mouth! I'm not listening to you!"
"Honestly though, it is fun to see you in so much pain. You must really be torn apart because she's gone. It was your fault after all." The demon said smiling. "Let's hope she's gone soon."
I could feel my nails dig into my hands. "You're wrong! I'm going to save her no matter what it takes."
"Well then… You'd better get going before he destroys her soul." I felt a chill run up my spine. The second after the demon said that her voice rang out from the darkness. "NO! STOP PLEASE! SOUL!"
I ran to where I heard her voice coming from. Every step I took made me feel weighed down. I couldn't move anymore by the time I got to where she was. I felt my heart sink when I saw her, open cuts dripping blood all over her body, her clothes were torn up and dirty, she looked so terrified and scared. "P-please …" she squeaked staring at something behind me. "D-don't do this. I'll do anything, just stop."
I looked behind me to find a creepy looking guy with black hair, white eyes, wearing a gray trench coat. He smiled at Maka making me grimace. This bastard, he has Maka. He stepped closer to her. "You need to just give up. Your false hope is really pathetic. He doesn't care about you Angel, can't you see? If he did wouldn't he have saved you by now?"
He walked up behind her and grabbed her hair yanking her head up. "If he cared he would've stopped me from doing this." He began to kiss her neck making her flinch. Tears fell from her eyes.
I tried to get up, I yelled at her telling her I'd save her, I did everything I could think of but nothing helped. The pervert whispered something in Maka's ear making her recoil in disgust. He suddenly vanished and I was finally able to get up. I ran to Maka's side. "Maka! I'm here! Come on let's get you out of here!"
"This isn't real Soul." I heard the red demon say somewhere in my mind. "Well actually, you just can't do anything to help her. This is something that's happening right now."
I didn't care what he said. I shook her. "Maka! Come on! You have to hear me! Maka… just…listen to me..."
She stared into space, shaking. "He's out there. He has to be. Soul… He…"
"Why would he care about a worthless, ugly slut like you?" A voice said in the distance.
Maka froze and looked down. She started to talk to herself. "He… He wouldn't care about me would he? He has better things to do then deal with a flat-chested bookworm like me. He's too nice to me. I'm the one he chooses to partner up with and… I'm worthless. I don't deserve to live. I just want to die."
I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. My entire body felt cold. I ran out the door and got on my motorcycle and went straight to the DWMA. I busted right into the Death Room interrupting a call Lord Death was having with Stein.
"I've found him. No we just need to… Um Death, look behind you." Stein said before Lord Death looked at me.
"Oh it's Soul. I was just about to call you. Stein, you may call them for their assignments." The mirror call stopped and Lord Death turned to me. "So Soul, what did you come here for?"
I quickly told him what I saw trying to not think about the details. He simply stood silently until I finished. "I need you to tell me if you know anything new. It was real and she's hurt."
"It is him. Stein was right we must do this soon." Lord Death said before going back to his mirror.
"Wait! Tell me what's going on! Who's him? Do you know where she is?"
"Soul, if what you told me up to this point is accurate then we are dealing with something even more serious then we previously believed. Yes Soul. I do know where Maka may be but it was hard enough to get into the last time."
"What happened? What's happening now?"
"His name is Sakaku. He is a dangerous Kishin that was a big threat long ago. The last person who went up against him died. He is especially dangerous because of his ability to change forms. What you told me the person in your vision looked like matches his true form perfectly. He is able to invade his victims' minds to find valuable information about them. He uses this information to destroy their minds and bodies ultimately turning their soul black. He preys on adolescent girls like Maka because their minds are more vulnerable. Maka seems to already be falling into his trap. Stein has already told your friends about this. Now that you have confirmed that this is what you saw we're with no doubt sending them. They're going to his base tomorrow."
"I-I can't believe… What do you want me to do?" I said.
"You want to go along?"
"Of course, I need to see her. I need to know she's okay. I promised … I promised Maka that I'd save her."
"Are you sure you can do this? You won't have a meister and Sakaku will try to invade your mind to make you think you have saved her." Lord Death told me. "She won't be there with you so you can't use witch or genie hunter."
I heard what he said but I didn't care. If Maka is there I'll find her and bring her back. I know he hasn't taken her soul yet. Even though she's far away I can still feel a faint hint of her soul wavelength. "I understand Lord Death… but she's my partner. I don't care if I get hurt. It's my duty to my meister to protect her with my life, and it wouldn't be very cool of me to skip out on a rescue mission." I said before leaving the death room.
"Soul, wait."
I stopped and turned. He gave me a victory sign. "Good luck. I'm sure you'll bring her back."
I smiled and went back to my apartment.
We're going tomorrow, Black*Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, Patty, and I. That fucker tries anything I won't hold back. He hurt Maka and now I'm going to give him what he deserves. My phone begins to vibrate in my pocket; the screen had cracked the last time I talked on it so it showed a distorted picture of who was calling. Kid's photo shows up and I answer it.
"Stein just talked to everyone and told us what's happening. Did my father tell you what's going on?" He said with worry and anger in his voice.
"I just got out of our meeting a little while ago. You know what I want to do right now?" I said bearing my sharp teeth. "Murder that fucker."
Okay! *sighs*I'm done with typing this up. My god this new laptop is so fast! Minecraft lag is now my bitch! It's also white, black, and cyan with a little picture of the character my friend drew of me. (My friend works for a computer mod store and refurbished it to be perfect. It looks amazing and I love it.)
All of my old files that I didn't save to my flash drive are gone though :'( I'll miss you grumpy cat memes… Wow. Sorry for talking about my new laptop for so long. I'll try to get the next chapter out in about a week and a half. Have to model a 3-D panda for my videogame design class which might take a while. I'm glad to get these out now though. Hope you all enjoyed these chapters.
If you have any questions or suggestions for a story or this story feel free to PM me. I'll be sure to answer anyone I can. Peace fellow fangirls and boys!
