AN: Yeah well I hoped you liked the second nightmare, now thinking about it, I think I could have done better. At the end of chapter 3 the summary I had put for chapter four had information in it that I didn't do. I didn't do them because I liked the other outcome better. I'm just saying so no is like you forgot to put this and that. So I'm starting off with Soul's P.O.V that I didn't do last chapter. We also get some insight on Soul's parents and his past. So for now on instead of putting a summary for the next chapter I will put a idea now for the next chapter because I may have done it again for this chapter I had a plan all written out but then when I started writing it came out completely different.

Chapter Five: Remembering The Past
February 9, 10:00 am, Soul's P.O.V
"I will never let anyone hurt you like that again." Soul said looking into her emerald colored eyes.
"You promise."
"I promise." Soul said bringing her hand to the side of his face. Soul then looked into her emerald colored eyes and she looked into his deep crimson colored eyes as well. They slowly started to lean in closer and…
"SOUL, MAKA I'M HOME." Blair said darting through the front door happily. Soul and Maka separate from each other quickly and got on opposite sides of the couch with a blush to their faces trying to act like nothing happen.
"Umm did Blair miss something?" Blair ask curios to what just happened.
"No, I'm just going to go back to my room now." Maka said.
"Oh dear Maka what happen to your arms and legs?" Blair said looking apprehension. Soul saw Maka tensed up as she looked for a way to convey what happened. He was curious to what she was going to her. He put his hand in his pocket put his feet up on the table and leaned back as if he own the place.
"Ummm you see, I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and short skirt last night when I tripped and feel on the side walk." Maka said. Blair just looked at Maka and tilted her head humming to herself. Soul looked over to Blair and hoped she would believe that.
"Ok, do you want me to use some of my magic to heal your wounds?"
"No I would much rather have them heal on their own Blair, but thank you anyway." Maka said heading to her room.
"Was it just me or did Maka seem bother by something."
"No she seems fine to me and I would know." Soul responded. Soul didn't like to lie to Blair, well actual he kind of loved it, but this was not the case Blair would be furious if she found out we keep a lie like this from her.
"Oh ok, and Soul why is there dinner on table that's never been touch."
"We fell asleep watching TV before we got chance to eat." Soul said. "But now that you are here, it's your turn to go shopping for shopping for food.
"I don't want to go shopping."
"I don't care, it's your turn to go shopping so go and stop being so obdurate."
"Hmh." Blair said as she slammed her foot down and head out the door. I swear that damn cat get on my nerve. Soul looked over to Maka's door. I can't believe I almost kissed her. What the hell is wrong with me I could have damage our relationship. What if she asks me why I almost did that? I need to talk to someone. Soul picked up the home phone and went to his room. Soul decided it was time to see an old friend. Soul dialed the number and sat down on the bed.
"Hello, Soul is that you?"
"Yeah it is."
"Well it's nice to hear from you since I haven't heard from you in a while."
"It's nice to hear from you to Grandpa Gary." He wasn't Soul actual Grandpa but he treated Soul like family and that was all that mattered. "I'm sorry that I don't keep in contact a much as I use to."
"Oh it's ok Soul at least you called me now that all that really matters, but what going on?"
"Nothing really, but I was wondering if maybe you can come out and visit anytime soon."
"Of course I will, a matter of fact I'm actual kind of close because I just finish a mission that is 5 hours away from death city, so I should be able to come by and visit you tomorrow around the time you get out of school, so I will met you at your place."
"Ok that's a good idea see you then Grandpa Gary."
"See you then Soul." Soul hung up the phone and was glad. Soul remembers the first day he met Grandpa Gary.

Soul was seven years old living with a successful family of musicians. Soul's Mom was a pianist and his father was a violinist. Soul's Mom was Aracelys Nicole Evans and his father was Erick Edward Evans. Soul took after his mother occupation as a pianist and was learning well. Soul's older brother Wes Evans took after his father and was learning extremely well. The mother was tall about 5'8 and was strict. She had black hair and munsell purple colored eyes. The father was also tall he was about 6'1 he had snowy white hair and crimson colored eyes. Both the boys took after their father looks and face features. The only main difference was Soul's and Wes pointy teeth that they father still didn't understand why or how they had them. They had a beautiful home. It was a three story house with marble floors, expensive furniture, and multiple rooms. You would think that a rich family who shares similar occupation would a good family living in a good environment but this was not the case.
Soul was not the perfect child for his family and his parents didn't even want him. They had both wanted a girl and got stuck with another boy. Their first child Wes was perfect he could learn something fast and would listen to whatever his parents told him to do. Soul on the other hand was not a fast learner and didn't want to listen to his parents. Soul loved to play the piano in tilled his parents would force it on him to learn non-stop how to play correctly. His family also had perfect manner and proper speech. What people didn't know about his parents were their aggressive and violent tendencies.
"Soul that not the correct note, what so hard about learning how to play." Aracelys said slamming down the ruler.
"I'm sorry Mom I'll promise I won't do it again."
"We'll just see about that, play it again Soul and this time do it correctly or so help me god Soul." Soul turned around sat with the correct posture and position himself to play the piano. Soul hesitated to play the piano in fear of getting hit by the ruler again. Soul looked down at the all-white piano black and white keys. He remembered the day he couldn't wait to start playing with his mother, he had looked forward to it. When she first taught him to play she was so sweet, kind, and gentle even when he had made a simple mistake, but her patience got thin with him because he wasn't learning as fast as his brother did when he learned to play the violin. He started to see a different side of his mother the longer it took him to learn.
His mother slam down the ruler again. "Soul I don't have all day play the piano now." Soul press the first key and started to play slowly looking down at the keys and thinking about what note to press next. He smoothly played each note going back and forth on the piano. His mother was nodded her head in approval but was still waiting for his next mistake. Wes was watching the whole thing around the corner feeling bad that he couldn't help his brother or able to stopped his mother for her rude action toward Soul. Soul made it through the whole song without a single mistake. "You see Soul was that so hard to do, now let's start learning the next song."
Wes felt bad that Soul couldn't live a normal life like himself. I was allowed to go to school and hang with friends and make decision on whether or not he wanted to play violin in front of a group of people but Soul was allowed to do any of those things. Soul wasn't allowed to go to school because their mother thought she could teach Soul more if she just filed for him to be home schooled, Soul was not allowed to hang with friends because mother thought it would distract him from learning how to play the piano, and Soul was force to play the piano whether he wanted to or not. Wes never went to tell his father how mother would act because he was scared to tell on his mother. He was not even sure if father knew how mother acted. Father was not better acting towards Soul but he never put his hands on him. Father treated Soul like he didn't exist to him like he didn't have any choice but to feed and house him. Father was disappointed in Soul and would tell him he was a mistake. Wes was getting tired of his parents action towards Soul especially since Soul did everything could to get his parents approval but there was nothing Wes could do he was only eleven years old.
Soul knew Wes was around the corner he always was. Soul knew Wes wanted to do something but he couldn't do anything. "Ok Soul how about we take a break so I can get everything ready for your father return from work." Soul nodded his head in reply. Soul went in the back and sat down on the bench in the garden looking at the ground.
"Hey Soul want to play?" Wes ask.
"No, not really but thanks for asking."
"Oh come on Soul it will be fun."
"I don't think so."
"Ok maybe later." Wes turned around and went back in to the house. I promise things will get better Soul, I promise.
Soul was sitting in the backyard when he heard music coming somewhere. At first he thought it was either Wes or his mother but this sound was different. It was a darker sound of music. Soul deiced to go out the gate in the back and followed the noise. It was down the street in the park. The man sitting down at the piano in the park was about his father height, he had black hair, and was wearing a long coat. "Excused me sir."
"Oh well hello, I didn't know I had a little audience watching me, did you like the show?"
"Yeah I did, you were playing I saw daddy today by Yann Tiersen."
"Oh well Yes I am for a kid you must be smart in music to know what piece I was playing and who it was from."
"Well yeah I play the piano myself, but I never played that before but my mother had."
"It's good to see the younger generation interested in learning to play the music, what your name kid?"
"Soul Evans sir, May I ask what your name is?"
"Gary, but you can call me Grandpa Gary."
"No offense sir but you don't look all that old."
"Well you are right about that, I'm only about twenty six years old. You quite the gentlemen for your age little man."
"I don't really have a choice, I don't want to get hit again for not using proper words when addressing adults." Soul said looking down at his feet. Gary eyebrows went up at his last comment and then kind of felt bad for the kid.
"Well that not right for a parent to do, but since you play the piano you want to show me what you got, I have a few music sheet with me that you can use."
"Ok." Soul sat down next to the man and looked through the music. "You have a lot of sad kind of evil sounding music Grandpa Gary."
"Yeah I guess your right kid, you know I haven't always had an easy past. I went through a lot when I was your age and that's why I love music so much. You see people your age learn how to play and play music you read, you never really get taught that music can help you forget you past or you can play music that is reminds you what you going through and sometime can give you answer to make you feel better."
"I know music can help but I didn't know it could have a deeper meaning."
"Of course you didn't know that, I would be surprise if you did know that, but have you ever sat down at a piano without sheets of music to guide you but only playing how you feel and what you went through with your heart and soul guiding you to play."
"No I haven't." Soul said feeing quite curious what he could play without music sheets to look at.
"You see Soul music can help you discover who you are or how you are feeling. For example if you are a person listening to sad, slow, depressing music you might be sad feeling depress and not happy with your situation." Gary said as he played the same song from earlier to show his point. "Now let say you are a person listening to happy upbeat music, cheerful and fast you probably a happy person in a good mood with a happy pastor happy about something." Gary said this time playing Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield. "Okay now let's say you a person listening to angry sounding music you might be upset and anger about something that didn't go right or you just angry about something in your past." Gary said playing a angrey sounding music. "Now some people don't play certain songs at all sometimes they just sit and let theme self-get lose in the music and play what they heart and soul want."
"Wow I never thought about it like that, I really only thought people would only just play what they on sheet music."
"I don't blame you for not knowing kid, since you are learning how to play you have to look at music in order to know what to do."
"Ok I want to try and play something on my own." The man nodded in reply. Soul got ready again and started to play music. It was fast and loud almost as if he was angry on the inside or hurting on the inside. Some people would say the boy need help if they heard him playing that song, but it actual made Soul happy to play. Playing that song made him feel better like this is how he should be feeling on the inside. (1)
"Wow, boy that some talent you got on the piano there, when I was your age I could barely do a beginner song." Gary kind of liked what the boy was playing because he wasn't playing it out of anger he could tell that the song made him who he is really on inside.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome boy." Gary went to pat the boy on his back but Soul flinch. "What wrong boy?"
"I thought you were going to hit me for making a mistake on the piece I made up that I was playing."
"What made you think I would hit you for making a mistake as simple as that?"
"My Mother does it all the time sometime with her hands or objects base on her mood." Gary had enough by the time this boy said his mother would hit him some time with her hands or objects all base on her mood.
"You know kid how would you like it if you got away from that household and got to live a normal kid life."
Soul looked up with his smile on his face and became full with excitement. "I would love it but I can't that is my family they would never let me leave like that." Soul with a more disappointed face this time.
"Don't worry boy leave it to me but if I were you I would get home before my parents notice I was gone."
"Yeah you are right I don't want to get hit again so see you later Sir." Soul waved to the man and headed back home.
"See you later kid." What a nice young man he was, but someone needs to help that poor kid and it looks like it going to have to be me. I guess I could ask Lord Death and see what he has to say about this. He went into his backpack and got out his phone to call. Gary went to found a place in private with some type of glass. He breath on the glass to create condensation on it and typed in the code to be able to talk to Lord death. "42-42-564 whenever you want to knock on death door."
"Hello kido how you is you mission going so far." He said in his Cheerful happy tone.
"Well I completed it the pre kishin was not to hard to fight but I do have concern about something else."
"Oh what seems to be problem kido?"
"Well I ran into this kid and I am kind of worried about him, he was saying things like his parents put his hands on him and I think I could sense weapon blood in him." Gary was a very talented person when it came to fighting pre kishin and detecting soul wavelength. He is kind of similar to Stein ability's but the only difference was that Gary was able to sense weapon blood in most people. No one has been able to do this ever but maybe a per kishin or a witch so adding him to the academy has really helped in the past.
"Oh dear weapon blood do you know whether or not if he had activated it yet or what kind of weapon he might be." Lord death said with his tone getting more serious.
"Well sir if I am right, it seems like he hasn't activated it but it looks like he might be one of those kid who learn about their ability through strong emotion like anger, and I can't tell what weapon he is is still too soon to tell for him."
"Well we can't take the boy away from his home in till we know for sure that he is being harm or goes into weapon form and tries to hurt someone, so keep an eye on that boy but don't get caught."
"Yes Sir." Gary knew the kid lived down the street because he could sense his Soul wavelength. Gary climbed the tree and he could see right in the house but from the angel he was in they couldn't see him. He knew he was lucky when they left the curtains open.
"Soul where you?" Wes ask.
"I was in the garden what do you mean where was I?"
"NO you were not I was just back there and I didn't see you there." Wes ask.
"Well um I was looking for something and I was probably behind a tree or statue in the back when you came back there."
"Well your just lucky Mom didn't come looking for you. You know how she would have acted if she went out there and she couldn't see you even if you were looking for something, so be careful next time." Wes said. Wes knew Soul was deceitful to him but he didn't want to force it out of him even if he did see walk out the back and come back. Wes knew he probably needed some alone time anyway. Wes also notice something different in Soul when he came back, almost as if he was happier. Wes also saw him smile which was good because he hasn't seen Soul smile in a few month. Wes watch Soul head to the piano and played a song without having any music sheets at all.
"Wow where do you learn how to do that, when did you learn how to do that."
"It's a long story."
"Well, well I see someone is getting better at playing the piano even if it the thing you are plying is loud and kind off key." Erik said.
"Dad your home, how was your performance." Wes ask. The boy were used to their parent's nonstop working and one or both of their parents being home it was their job. Their parents would get major job offer that would offer a lot of money, sometimes in their area or other parts of the world.
"It was splendid, people loved it and I made some new friend on the way as well, but enough with me how have you boys been towards your mother." Erick inquires.
"I have been good like always I never disobey." Wes says happily. Soul didn't answer he just continued playing the piano but starting playing a more deep sounding more anger he got.
"That's good Wes, well Soul how about you have you been nice to your mother since I've been gone."
"Would it matter whether or not I have showed mother kindness its' not like she deserves it anyway." Soul said in a abrasive tone.
"Young man do not speak to me that way, did you forget who you are speaking to?"
"No Sir but I'm trying to." Gary was inquiring Soul's behavior and became quite concern, his father being home had set something off in his soul and it was connected to his weapon blood which was quite concerning especially for his age. Kids who do not know about their weapon blood and did not know how to control it could possible lose control because of emotion. They would turn in their weapon form and will try to do anything they can to hurt the person that brought them into their emotion. Some would lose control because of sorrow, sadness, pain, seeing a love one in danger, and in Soul's case anger. The main problem with was that when they clam down they would past out and when they awoken they would not remember a thing but some would gain the memory back later on but because of this reason that why the academy was built, a lot of people only think it was built because of the kishin but that's not true at the time there was barley any kishin and one extremely powerful one and this was easily handled, but Sami-Sama (Lord Death) thought the idea of people having weapon blood. It worked out great but the only problem was the losing control. Once you were worked up the weapon blood would send a certain chemical to your brain that triggers anger causing you to say and do things you didn't mean to.
"Young man you are asking for some trouble." Erick said. Soul looked into his eye and his father saw something in Soul he had never witness before. It was like he was looking at a monster with no soul.
"What are you going to do about it?" Soul said with a evil grin spreading across his face. Even Wes was feeling uncomfortable and notice something different in Soul almost as if he was a different person then he knew from before. Soul would never talk back with such hatefulness or barely talk back at all so why is he doing this now all of a sudden. "Soul you should stop talking before you get in anymore trouble then what you are already in." Wes said.
"No I want to see what he is going to do about it." He said in a slow darker tone. Erick raise his hand to his son getting ready to swing when all of a sudden they was a flash of light and a sound of a blade scratching the air. Soul jump up out of the piano sit and set his target on his father. Wes stood they shock trying to figure out what just happened. Erick who was still adjusting from the bright light didn't notice his son rushing towards him and didn't notice his son arm as a scythe either. Backing up getting ready for his son attack he tried grabbing something to block his attack but couldn't find anything in time. Closing his eyes before his son was nearly two inches away waited for an attack but nothing happen. There right in from of him was a tall a tall male standing in front of them blocking Soul from reaching his father.
"Soul clam down now." Gary said. Soul's arm turned back to normal and his past out and Gary caught him before he fell on the floor. "Mr. Evans we need to talk about your son." He nodded his head and was stilled shock from what just happen to speak. Once Soul awoken he was in a car with all his stuff that he would need packed up.
"Well, well look who is awake." Soul looked at the man with the smiling face it was the man from the park. "Well before I explain everything that happened, right now we are on our way to s special academy that I'm certain you will have a lot of fun in."
