I don't own savin' me by nickleback
CH: 11
Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And all I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Hurry I'm fallin'
And all I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Hurry I'm fallin'
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Maka gagged and looked at Soul sadly as her and Bravery where forced into a cage. Soul had taken them to the national arena, he had no choice. Soul knelt down in front of the cage. "If you win this Maka, you'll never have to fight again." He said. "If you don't win…" Maka nodded. "I understand Soul." She said.
The albino kishen stood and sighed. "Good luck bookworm." The meister smiled and watched him leave then looked around at the cages, row after row of them. "Maka." Bravery tugged her arm. "You should rest before the battles start." The meister nodded and leaned against the bars.
"I hate him." Bravery said, sitting next to her meister. "Soul?" Maka asked and her weapon nodded. "he left you to die, then 'rescues you' and brings you back to this hell, he acts like he's the best weapon ever when he's been gone for three years!" Maka smiled and laughed softly. "You're just like him, stubborn and protective." Bravery huffed softly. "Let's just sleep."
Maka woke to the sound of roaring and cheers. "It must be starting." Bravery mumbled. The meister nodded and watched as a guard pulled a pair into the arena. The roars and cheers got louder as the battle started. After a few moments a boy covered in blood and a girl walked back in, the girl grinning madly.
Battle after battle happened; countless screams came from the arena, countless bodies dragged in, weeping weapons following. The winners were led out, free to never fight again if their owner choose, though many would fight again and many would lose their partner.
*flashback* (2nd chapter)
Maka sat in the back of her cage, her knees to her chest, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, rocking back and forth and holding her head. "Maka? Maka you need to calm down." Said Liz. Maka let out a loud cry and shook her head. "He's going to come back for me! He said he'd never leave me! He's going to come back!" she yelled.
"MAKA!" Snapped Liz. "You have to calm the fuck down before you sick!" the blonde meister looked at the pistol. Liz held out a hand and Maka took it. "Soul will come back for you, he cares an awful lot about you." She said softly. "He loves you too much to leave you here."
*reality*
A guard banged on the cage, making Maka jump slightly. "You're the last fight, make it a good one." He snarled, opening the cage and dragging the girls out. They were pushed out into the brightly lit arena and Maka squinted. The cheers where loud and defining.
The meister became adjusted to the light and looked at the crowd. She spotted Soul, who sat next to Liz, He gave her a small nod. She then looked at her opponent and gasped, shaking her head. "No! nononono!" she yelled.
Kid stood at the opposite side of the arena, Tessie stood beside him. He gave her a sad look and walked over to her. "Maka…" he said softly. "It's good to see you again…I'm…I'm sorry it had to come to this…" he said. Maka shook her head and hugged Kid. "I can't kill you kid! I can't do it!"
The grim reaper pulled her off gently and sighed. "Neither can i…you're my friend." "COME ON FIGHT!" yelled the crowd. Maka shook her head and took a step back. Guards came out and attempted to pull them away but Maka shook her head and struggled to get away.
"Kill the reaper!" one yelled. Kid's eyes got wide and Tessie screamed at the guards to let him go as the guard put a gun to Kid's head. "NO!" Maka screamed and in a flash of light, a scythe came out of her arm and she slashed at the guard that held her, cutting him clean in two. She then charged the guard that held Kid, who immediately let go of him and ran off.
Kid got up and looked at the crowd who was going wild. "We need to get out of here!" he yelled and grabbed Tessie. Maka turned to Bravery who ran after Kid. The meister attempted to follow her weapon but someone yanked her back. "You're not going anywhere bitch!" snarled a voice.
Maka turned to look back at a guard who pointed a gun to her forehead. There was a loud roar and Soul jumped from the stand and drove his tail through the guard's neck. Maka backed away and got up quickly. Soul looked at her and held out his hand to her. "Let's see if we can still resonate." He said with his signature grin.
The blonde meister hesitated but took Soul's hand. In a flash of light he transformed. He was no longer a beautiful piano but a white and red dragon, the long wing was the blade and a fierce head opposite it, the end of the staff came to a sharp point.
Maka smiled and spun the scythe with absolute ease; it felt wonderful to feel him in her hands again, to feel his soul touch hers. Guards rushed at the two and Maka seemed to dance through them, bringing them down as she went. She felt elated, she felt like she did before this hell happened, when it was just her and Soul.
She cut through the last guard and spun Soul for good measure and for the pleasure of doing it. Soul transformed and grabbed her hand, running out the arena and to freedom.
