It's summer time! Which means I have more time to write the stories, which means more updates. But, it also depends on when my internet is working as well. Anyway, Kendra read this first and was all what the fuck is going on here (she hasn't read the other chapters) but she thought it was weird and funny, which is the whole point. I want to thank the people who actually review and follow this story. You give me hope that my story isn't a total screw up. I know I've talked about writing other stories, and when I talked to Alexiss and Kendra yesterday, we finally decided on some ideas.

Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater, no how much I want to. Now go on child and read the chapter.


Chapter Seven - Mercy Is Her Name

Mya Belle's POV

I had said it.

Well, actually, a reflection of me had. An exact copy of me stood only inches away, staring back at me. I didn't know why, but whenever I looked at her, I felt chills go down my back.

" What happened Malice?" one of the floating witches yelled.

" I truly don't know, but, it seems it is for the best. We now have two new witches."

Cheers rang throughout the room, causing me to cringe as the sound hurt my ears. I wished, like I always did when I got hurt, that pain wasn't always a part of my life. When it stopped, I looked back at the girl, that's when curiosity got the best of me.

" What's your name?" I knew it was stupid since we probably had the same name, but it was the first question I could think of.

" Mercy Royale," she tilted her head as she continued. " And yours is?"

" Mya Belle Royale."

" Please to meet you," Mercy gave a slight curtsy, only making my curiosity grow.

" Um, same thing. So, are you like a replica of me, or what?"

" Not exactly," she walked over to me with a frown on her face. " Darling, you should at least try to at least try to keep your back straight. Slouching is very rude."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing as Mercy came over to me and pulled my shoulders back.

" Now that's better. You look so much taller.

" Glob. You're so proper."

" That's the point darling. You're not," by this point, only a handful of witches still filled the room.

" Whatever. Now that you're here, you can help Ash. Which means I can go home, right?"

" Not quite," Ash was suddenly next to us. I seriously have got to figure out how she does that.

" Oh, let me guess. You knew that this would happen and that's why you didn't need anyone else." Ash's face was plastered with surprise, causing my confidence to become smaller.

" I'm shocked of your knowledge little Mya Belle, but now I do not have to explain."

" I'm not little, and I was just kidding. I didn't know that that was the truth!"

" Oh please. Have you not realized you powers yet?" Mercy glared down at me, which didn't make sense considering we were the same height.

" How could I? I just got them?"

" Not your new powers. I mean the ones you had before. You know darling, you sure are an idiot for having the powers you have."

" I'm not an idiot. Now stop being so idiotic and explain."

" Well I must be the smart one then. I'm talking about the thing your friend called the third eye. That's not what it actually is, but close enough."

" What the hell are you freaking talking about? That has nothing to do with what's going on."

" Yes it does," Mercy rolled her eyes at me.

" How?"

" This isn't the first time they've entered this world. This happened three years ago because of another group of fan girls. That's why you have that capability darling. You were already tampered with by another witch."

" How would you know? You didn't even exist ten minutes ago."

" Again, you're an idiot. I'm part of you, and we're both part of that witch. Do you remember that girl, Constance?"

" I guess," I wish she would just get to the point.

" She's the witch that go left behind. The witch who could see the future and past, and even travel through it. She also had the ability to see anyone's soul apparently."

" You ain't making any sense."

" It's supposed to aren't darling, not ain't Anyway, she transferred some of her magic to you, but she thought she had actually cursed you. Poor thing, not even knowing how to use her powers at that age."

" I'm still confused."

Mercy rolled her eyes again and sighed.

" Constance tried to curse you, but she actually gave you powers. That's why you can see the future and can see weird shadows. You're seeing the souls of everyone around you," she was to me was if I was a two year old, saying each word slowly. I truly wanted to slap her because of it.

" But still, how would you know this if I don't? Wouldn't we contain like the same knowledge and memories?"

" You hid the memories. It didn't seem true, so you labeled them off as just a dream. Here, let me show you," Mercy held out her hand, expecting me to take it.

I hesitated at first, but my curiosity go the better of me. I grabbed her hand, then my vision went black. I didn't freak out, but just waited until the darkness changed to the hidden memory.

" Hey Kayla?" I was suddenly walking next to my old friend.

" Hmm?"

" Is Constance ever mean to you, or is it just me she hates?"

" Constance is mean to everyone who doesn't worship her. She's a bitch because of it," and Constance had chosen that moment to walk past us.

" Oh shoot, I think she heard us."

" So?"

" That's bad, duh."

" Whatever. I don't care."

I turned my head to see Constance standing still in the hallway, our eyes meeting. Her glare just cried hatred. I saw her lips start to move, but now, I could her what she was saying.

" Let my curse hurt you truly. Tick, tock, click, souls shall haunt you," then she turned and went on her way.

The memory faded away, my vision taking it's place. I let go of Mercy's hand, slightly dizzy.

" Now do you understand?"

" Yeah, I understand," and I truly did, even if it still seemed like she was lying.

Ash placed a hand on each of our shoulders, " No more talking. We still have to train."

" Whatever," we said in simultaneously.

" Then come along," Ash pushed us to the doorway where Jared was waiting.

" Hi Jared," I tried to smile at him, but my mind was to caught up in what I had just seen.

Jared smiled back at me, completely oblivious to my confusion, " That was awesome."

I inwardly rolled my eyes and truly smiled, " I know right, but the ending was so unexpected."

Someone cleared their throat and we turned to look at Mercy.

" Sorry to interrupt you Mya Belle, but I think I should get to know you friend here," her fake sweetness made me want to gag. How fake can you get?

" Yeah, sure, whatever. Jared, my clone, Mercy."

" Hello Jared. I hope to become close companions."

" Um, okay," even Jared was weirded out by her properness.

" Move along Mercy. Your training must start right away."

" Understood Miss Ash."

I watched in disbelief as the duo left.

" Is she for real?" Jared took the words right out of my mouth.

" Dude! Can you read minds or what?" I teased, changing the subject somewhat.

" Huh? Why would you think that?"

" Because that's what I was thinking. I mean, she's way to serious. I can't be that serious unless it's a major problem or something. If she's a clone of me, something went wrong. She's not like me, she's the exact opposite."

" Um, I think that's the point."

" How?" I stood there, thinking about it. " Oh. You mean that she's all like my serious, mean parts."

" Yeah," Jared rolled his eyes, teasing me now.

" Oh shut up," I smiled again.

Jared's expression turned a little more serious as he stepped closer, causing me to step back. He leaned down to my height, our eyes even with each other.

" I'm glad to see you're not sad anymore. You look a lot prettier when you're smiling."

" Um," I looked away, my cheeks already warming up. " Thanks, I guess. Now can you back up dude. I feel like you're gonna hug me or something."

Jared gave a small laugh before leaning even closer and kissing my cheek, then he finally pulled away.

I stood there, completely shocked at what just happened. I felt my face warm up as it turned a dark shade of pink. I'd never been speechless and that's what Jared and led me to.

" Mya Belle? Hello?" Jared waved his hand in front of my face, waking me from my trance.

" Um, what?"

" You okay?"

Um, yeah. Of course I'm okay," I lied as I tried to calm down.

" Are you sure?"

" Of course I'm sure. I think I know how I feel," and right now I was freaking out.

" I know."

" Oh, one thing though."

" What?"

" Don't ever be that serious again. It's creepy."

Jared laughed, causing my blush to reappear just as it had gone away. I guess he thought I was funny, even though I wasn't trying to be.

" I guess that's possible."

" Not just you guess. You have to promise."

" I promise."

I held out my pinky, " Pinky promise, cross your heart, hope to die, dead serious?"

" Um, sure," he wrapped his pinky around mine.

" You just promised your life, your realize that, right?"

" Well, I heard the words die and dead, so I guess I did just promise my life."

" Good, now come on. I don't want that woman stealing my weapon."

" You sound like a five year old, " Jared stated as we sorta ran to the training room, the tension from before gone.

" I know. Kendra's always calling me a kid, even though I'm older than her."

" Who's Kendra?"

" Um," I slowed down as I tried to find words to say. " She was my friend. Ash had left her when she kidnapped me."

" Oh, I'm sorry Mya Belle. I never even thought about your friends."

' That's because you were to busy kissing me, even if it was only a kiss on the cheek,"

but I didn't say that aloud.

" That's because you didn't know about them. It's not your fault, so don't say your sorry."

" Okay, sure. I just worry about you."

I stopped and looked up at Jared. He was looking down at the ground. I rolled my eyes, got on my tip toes, and kissed his cheek.

" And that's why I trust you as a friend. Thanks Jared. Besides, we're even now."

" I thought you didn't like to be emotional."

I laughed a little at his response, " I don't like hugs, but otherwise, I'm very emotional, I think. Ugh, now you got me all confused."

" I get it. That was just a little unexpected."

" How do you think I felt when you did it to me? Besides, I needed to make you feel better. You are my friend, I think."

" What do you mean, you think?"

" Well I don't know you that well, so I'm still deciding."

" I see," we started walking again.

" Yeah. The only real way to know is if I hug you. My only, ever exception is the people I care about."

" So you don't care about me?"

" Maybe. I still don't know. Your still undecided."

" Oh, okay."

" Don't be so sad, you're doing pretty good so far."

" Really?" Jared jumped at the words like a little kid with candy.

" Calm down dude. You act like I'm giving you money or something like that."

" Sorry, but I've never actually had a friend."

" How? I mean, you're super nice, plus you're pretty cute."

" What? I'm what?"

" Sorry, made that awkward. Just forget I said anything."

" But you said..."

" And changing the subject, why don't you have any friends?" I knew it was rude to cut him off, but then it would of just become way to awkward and then I'd never of been able to talk to him.

" Because I'm not really allowed to have any since Ash thinks they would distract me from learning to control my powers."

" What's your power?"

" I'd rather not say," Jared rubbed the back of his head, his cheeks burning.

" Come on, tell me. Like pretty please with a cherry on top. Please?"

" Okay, just don't look at me like that."

" Like what?"

" Like I just hit you. It makes me feel bad."

" Oh, sorry. I didn't even know I was doing that. Anyway, so what's your power?"

" I can, well, I can read minds and move crap with it."

" That sounds like a movie I've seen. Whoa, wait, what! You can read minds? Oh my glob! Now I wish I wasn't thinking that."

Jared laughed at me, " It's okay, I think it's funny."

" Dude, it's not funny. It's embarrassing."

" I personally think it's funny you're imagining me having bubble powers. A little mean, but funny."

" You said you didn't want to say what is was, so I thought it was embarrassing. Bubble powers was the first thing that popped into my head. It's embarrassing, so, yeah."

" I get it Mya. You don't have to worry. I choose not to read others minds that often."

" Thank glob."

Jared just rolled his eyes and smiled down at me. I gave a small laugh. Maybe Jared could be my friend, if he was nice enough.

Maybe I could get used to staying here. I mean, it's not like my friends are still looking for me. Right?


Kendra's POV

" So, where's all the houses?" Soul asked, not even really seeming to care.

" There's one over there if you really looked," I pointed to a house that was a ways off.

" But it's so far."

" That's because Mya lives in the country. She doesn't live in town like the rest of us."

" Why not?"

" How should I know? Maybe so she can ride her go carts and all that."

When I looked away from Soul, I saw Crona sitting right in front of the door, holding his knees to his chest. I felt a bit bad, considering that it was probably all the yelling that was making him like that.

" Whatever, she's still uncool."

" Why don't you just shut up you uncool jerk," Alexiss stomped her foot as she looked up at the white haired boy.

" I'm not uncool."

" Yes you are. If you act like this than you are so not cool."

" You don't know anything!" he growled back.

" Soul! Calm down. We should be trying to save the others. Not fighting," Tsubaki placed her hand on Soul's shoulder.

" Whatever. Let's just hurry up and save them. That'll show you how cool I am."

" Dream on dude," I rolled my eyes as I saw Sid and Nygus come around from the back of the house.

" Finally. Somebody who isn't crazy," Soul stated.

" Asshole," Alexiss and I said in simultaneously. We looked at each other and laughed.

" Um, awkward," she said.

" No," sarcasm dripped from the word. " I thought it was just a coincidence."

" Oh shut up."

" Make me."

Alexiss's face went from happy to full on sad, " I wish Mya Belle were here. That would just make this even funnier."

" We'll get her back. I mean, even if we can't find her, she'll find us. You know how she hates being told what to do, and that witch is probably trying to boss her around."

" Yeah," Alexiss looked over at the group of characters, minus Crona, who were talking in a group. " Are you really mad at Soul?"

" Little bit, why?"

" Because, I thought you liked him."

I could feel my face scrunch up at the thought, " Ew. No. I was just saying that because who doesn't have a crush on some random anime guy. I mean, have you seen them?"

" Yes, but, are you sure you're not saying that because you got a boyfriend?"

" I will bitch slap you if you don't shut up."

" Okay, I'll be quiet. But just answer this. Do you wish he was your boyfriend still?"

I looked down at her as if she was serious. She was.

" No. I do not wish that he was my boyfriend Sure, he's sexy as hell, but I don't want his as my boyfriend. I don't even like him anymore."

" Okay," Alexiss started laughing again.

" What?"

" Um, he's sorta behind you."

I whirled around to see Soul standing there with a giant smile on his face.

" So you think I'm sexy? Guess it's not that hard to believe considering how cool I am."

" Shut up."

" Just admit it."

" Dude. I will literally cut off your balls and feed them to you."

Soul just smiled in satisfaction. I wanted to rip it off his face.

" So that's why you pay so much attention to me."

" I don't. You're just annoying as hell. Maybe even more than Mya."

" Don't say that. It's pretty hard to be more annoying than Mya Belle," Alexiss added to the conversation.

" Yeah, but she uses that to torture people who're mean to her."

" Who says Soul isn't doing the same thing?" Alexiss said cautiously.

" Yeah, I guess. Come on, let's go into town. Mya Belle's probably there," I turned and started walking towards the road.

" Won't that take a long time?" Soul strode up to us. " If she lives in the country than won't it take forever to get there?"

" The town's less than a mile away. You can see it right over there," I pointed towards the small black line a ways off.

" Then how is this the country?"

" It's Ordway. We're a country town. The town's barely two miles wide. Besides, I thought a cool guy could handle anything?"

Soul blinked for a few seconds before running his hand through his hair, " Of course I can. Nothing can make me lose my cool."

" Except Maka. We've read the books dude. You care about her so much that you lose your cool like that whenever it concerns her," Alexiss smiled evilly at the thought.

" What? No," Soul's face turned a deep shade of red as he rubbed the back of his head.

" Just admit it," I said, repeating his words from earlier.

" I don't have to if it's not true."

" You like her, don't you?"

" Who could like someone with such a flat chest?"

I looked over at Alexiss, " Yep, he totally likes her."

Soul flipped out. Yelling about how he didn't like her. He didn't even realize we'd gotten to town until I slapped him just like Mya had. When I turned around to see if the others had followed, I saw that they were a distance off. I guess they didn't realize we were gone until a while after we had left.

" Now, let's start looking," Alexiss ordered as she scanned the area around us.

" Why don't we just go to where all those witches are leaving from. That's probably a witch lair for them," Soul said lazily as he nodded over to a giant building that a group of women were coming out of.

" I hate him," I admitted.

" Me too," Alexiss smiled.

We waited for the others to catch up before walking past the group, somehow not getting captured. This was just too suspicious. As we enter the building, we were greeted by a familiar voice.

" Hello darlings," we turned to see Mya Belle standing next to the witch who had taken her. " Welcome to your new home."

That's when everything went black.


Done! Hope you all enjoyed. Oh, and please go and read my other story. It's called I'm Not What You Think: I'm Even Better. Thank you.
