"MAKA!" Soul shouted, that was the last thing she heard before everything went black. She awoke on something cold and hard, it was a dark cement floor. Slowly she sat up looking around; it was pitch black, she wasn't even sure she was awake. The only light came from a small window or what she thought was a window; it had bleach white curtains that blew in a wind she could not feel. Slowly she stood; her heels clacked against the concrete, faster and faster as she ran to the window.
Maka She spun around, she definitely heard her name but it was as quiet as the wind passing by. MAKA! Now it was a shout, Maka took off down the hall towards were she heard her name. All Maka could think of was 'is everyone okay?' her legs soon cramped and her breath became heavy. The hallway just kept going on and on, her legs buckled underneath her and her face hit the ground. Hot stinging tears fell from her eyes to her balled up fists on the floor. Why can't I leave? She thought, Liz were am I?
Liz's POV
"MAKA!" I hear Soul shout, I feel Kid's wavelength turn to shock and fear. I saw Maka passed out on the ground, and Soul positioned over her on all fours. She was bleeding profusely out of her side; Soul had taken off his jacket and pressed on the wound. As soon as the pre-kishin's came they took off, Black Star had left to get Sid who was down at the base camp.
"MAKA! Baby no please, wake up! Please w-wake up *sniff* please." Tears were streaming down my face, as I looked at my passed out girlfriend. Soon Black Star and Sid were back in a blink of an eye, they loaded Maka up on a stretcher and took her away. Kid put a comforting hand on my shoulder, as Patty hugged me all I could do was sob. They wouldn't let anyone even Soul in the room, Professor Stein was pacing in the operating room almost as if he didn't know what to do next.

Professor Stein finally came out, and said that Maka was in critical condition and that she might not make it through the night. All I could do was cry, that's all anyone did. "Can I see her?" I asked staring at the floor.
"Go on ahead Liz, it might be a good way to say goodbye." Stein said opening up the door for me. I walked in with my eyes glued to the floor, slowly I looked up. Maka was on a hospital bed with tubes and wires coming out of her body, and she was badly bandaged up. I didn't want to look, but for some odd reason I couldn't look away. I felt awful my girlfriend was badly injured and I couldn't do a damn fuck about it. The heart monitor just kept beeping like it was normal, Spirit was sitting by Maka (he came in through the other door in the office) he looked limp and lifeless. Then again who could blame him his only kid is barely alive, I don't know what I will do if she dies how will I live? I wish it was me instead of her on that bed, if only I had seen that attack coming maybe I could have warned her. He must have heard us approach, because his head snapped up. All of the color was gone from his face as he looked back down again. "Spirit, you should get some sleep I'll let you know if anything changes." Professor Stein spoke with sadness in his voice, as he shooed his old friend and weapon out the door. "But professor, you said that she might now make it through the night." Soul piped in. "I just said that so he would feel a little better."Everyone gathered around the bed; not knowing what their last words should be. "Come back to me Maka, I love you." Those were the only words I could muster; before I fell to my knees sobbing hysterically.
"Kid can't you do something; you're the son of death for shinigami sake!" Soul shouted grabbing Kid by the collar, and slamming him into the wall. "Hey don't yell at me; it was your job to protect your meister, you're her weapon!" Kid shouted back successfully turning the situation around on Soul and pinning him against the wall.
"Guy's hey! Stop fighting you're not helping the situation at all." Tsubaki chimed in. Both boys stopped and shamefully looked down, Kid let go of Soul and walked quietly out of the room. As time went on; one by one the friend's left Liz alone to be with Maka. "Liz, you should probably head home." Liz jumped not realizing that Stein was back in the room. Wiping the tears off of her already tear stained face, she turned and said; "I won't leave, I want to be here for her last few minutes." Her voice cracked as she spoke. He nodded and left, only to come back minutes later with coffee for the crying girl. Liz was worried, not only because of Maka, but because of the glimmer of seduction in her Professor.
Liz's POV
What. Is. Going. On? Liz thought. Professor Stein must have glanced at my soul; because as soon as that thought popped into my head he lunged forward. He grabbed my shoulders lifting me completely off the ground and slammed me into the wall. His hand was clamped around my throat; I could feel his hot breath on my neck, I could smell the stench of cigarette smoke when his breath reached my nose. I peeked out of my clamped shut eyes, only enough to see his tongue dart out of his mouth. It ran a trail of saliva from my cheek down to my collar bone. One of his other hands slid under my shirt and up my bare back until it reached my bra strap. With one quick flip of his talented meister hands he flicked it open, and slowly pulled it down my shaken form and tossed it across the room. That very hand found its way back up my shirt only this time it was up the front and not the back. Okay Liz, this has to stop think! What would Maka do? Oh Maka baby I will make sure you live. Before he could reach any further I shot a wavelength out of my hand; successfully knocking him backwards. Stein crashed into a bedside table, rattling the metal cup and plate that were on it. The sound brought in a large crowd, that consisted mostly of student but what surprised Liz is that Lord Death himself was there.
"Elizabeth, what happened here?" Lord Death asked, his usual childish voice gone and was replaced by a serious tone. Since Liz couldn't see his face she could only assume that it was formed into a scowl.
"He...h…he attacked me." Liz croaked out, she never really realized that her throat was dry.
Lord Death's head snapped in the direction of Stein, who groggily sat up clutching his head. "Ugh, what happened?" Stein asked looking up.
"Mhmm." A familiar voice came from the corner. Liz's head snapped in the direction of Maka's bed; only to discover her rubbing her head and looking over at Lord Death. Only she seemed..different, her face grew angry and soon she spoke: "We had a deal."
