The eyes of the white haired boy opened slowly. His head laid on the hospital bed and sunlight filtered through the room almost gracefully. Looking up he saw Maka; the girl still had not woken up from the previous day and Soul had been in the infirmary for over forty-eight hours now.
Soul was worried, what exactly was wrong with the girl? He had noticed that she had been a bit off, but this seemed extreme. Sitting up, he realized that he had a bruise on his but from sitting in the wooden chair beside the hospital bed. The boy's eyes were full of worry.
" -possible, I wont allow any of them to do that." A whisper that could barely be head came through the door; it was the voice of Marie-Sensei.
"But it's the only way…" That was the voice of Doctor Stein, also hushed. Soul listened intently to whatever could be heard. "Maka will slip out of her coma into death Marie!"
Soul was shocked, he returned his gaze to Maka. She was going to die if someone didn't do something?
"No! They cannot enter her dreams!" Marie was almost yelling, "I can't even do that, what if they get lost, what if they die?"
"If we tell any of them they're going to do it anyways…" Stein said. Soul heard some hollow footsteps leading away from the outside of the door.
What could the boy do? How was one supposed to enter a dream? Soul would do anything for the green eyed Maka.
"Stein! Wait!" Marie called down the hallway, "the only way that I will allow it is if they go all together, I will not allow Soul to go by him self!" The tone of her voice was almost disappointed with her own decision.
"Good…" Was the last thing that Soul heard from the adult Stein.
"Maka…" Soul looked down at the sleeping girl; at least it seemed to be peaceful.
-----------------------------------------
The girl awoke, everything was black. Maka felt confused, why was there no noise? Why was everything black? "Soul?" Maka questioned into the darkness, her voice echoing endlessly. "Soul? Where are you?" The girls voice questioned, however nothing but echo's returned her question.
The girl stood, she was wearing nothing but a simple white dress, where was she? For some reason she felt scared and confused. She began to run, attempting to escape the darkness. But she couldn't, it surrounded her, it engulfed her.
The girl collapsed, her muscles seized to move.
"You are nothing but a puppet" The voice of a woman filled the darkness.
"What!?" Maka called to the voice, but she had a strange feeling it wanted her to stay in the dark room.
The girl may not have known it but she was lost within a dream.
