Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Eater at all except my OCs.
Lord Death sighed to himself. It was a wonder how he can keep himself so giddy most of the time, yet a mystery.
"Another tiring day at the DWMA," He spoke to himself, "Though there are many students with potential, I hope that nothing bad will happen to anyone."
Oh how wrong his assumption was once a piercing scream sounded throughout the Death Room.
"Huh?" Lord Death questioned, until the scream began closing in on him.
"OUCH!" Something had dropped on top of his head, the shinigami swatted whatever it was on his head.
Turning around angrily, a surprise was brought to his attention. The anger that once filled his body, has now lowered as he finds a young girl fainted sprawled across the floor.
"Shinigami," Lord Death breathed, "...I didn't suspect this outcome."
The next day
Maka Albarn wondered as to why Lord Death decided to call for her and Soul after class.
"Hey, Maka, what do you think the reason is this time?" Her partner, Soul Eater asked.
Shrugging Maka replied, "I have absolutely no clue."
By the time they made it to the Death Room, Lord Death greeted them, "Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!"
"Lord Death, is there a reason as to why we were summoned?" Maka began.
"Hm, well there has been a little problem in which arrived just the other night," He explained, "I need you two to watch over, and call me immediately once the person is awake. As of right now, the person is resting in the infirmary with Professor Stein guarding the door. However Professor Stein has some duties to preform, and he can't work unless someone takes over the errand."
"We'll gladly accept this request." Maka accepted smiling back at Lord Death before walking toward the inirmary.
By the time they left, Lord Death wondered about the girl he found.
"Hopefully she won't be too startled."
"Professor Stein?" Maka called as she opened the door, spotting their Professor sitting on a stool. Turning his head, Stein showed them a blank expression, "Took you two long enough."
"As of now, you two are watching her," He rolled off from his chair to who knows where as the two students glanced over to the figure resting in bed.
A girl? Maka pondered.
She looks around the same age as me and Soul.
"Do you think she's alive?" Soul walked closer to where the girl rested, "Professor Stein was the one who was last watching her."
Maka slammed a book onto her partner.
Soul placed a hand against the pained area,"OW! What was that for?!"
"Soul, don't back talk Professor Stein. Plus Lord Death was the one who assigned him to 'watch' her not 'dissect' her."
As Soul and Maka bickered a groan was made causing the to silence their words.
Returning their gazes back to the girl, only three words were spilled out from her mouth.
"Where am I?"
Aurelia's POV
"Where am I?" I slowly opened my eyes staring at an unfamiliar cieling.
"Hello," A girl greeted bearing platinum blonde hair and green eyes. The boy beside her was an albino.
However as my vision started becoming clearer, I internally went into shock as the girl introduced themselves to me.
"I'm Maka Albarn and this is Soul. You are?"
"A-Aurelia Reeds." I sputtered out.
"Nice to meet you Aurelia," Maka replied before excusing herself, "Soul, watch over her as I contact Lord Death."
Soul grunted,"Hmph."
Holy Shit...since when did Soul Eater became real...
This can't be real. This can't be real. This can't be real. This can't be real. This can't be real. This can't be real. This can't be real. This can't be real. This can't be real. THIS CAN'T BE REAL!
I screamed inside my head.
There's only one thing to do at a time like this to see if I'm crazy or dreaming!
I pinched my shoulder as hard as possible.
FUCK! IT FUCKING HURTS! I'm in deeeeeeeep shit now.
Red eyes wandered back over to me, as I cringed under his gaze, "What are you doing?"
FFFFFFFFF- I think he saw me pinch myself.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Trying to wave off the pain.
As we waited, Maka arrived alongside the supposed Lord Death I've seen from the introductory videos.
"Howdy," He started, "So you're Aurelia Reeds?"
I nodded, "Yes, sir...although I prefer to be called Aura."
"Is that so, then Aura, would you like to discuss about your abrupt entrance here?"
Swallowing back, I responded as gazed at the three standing before me.
Why are Soul and Maka still here?
"Just don't brush off my explaination so easily," I exhaled, "The truth is, I have absolutely no idea how I got here in the first place. The last thing I recalled was falling asleep after watching tv. The next thing I found myself in was an empty void, a single voice called out to me."
"A voice?" Lord Death and Maka noted.
"Yes, by the time the voice stopped speaking. I was pushed into the void or maybe pulled down, the next thing I knew I found myself here."
Third POV
"Hm, that's quite a tall tale you spoke of. However by the look in your eyes, they seem to tell the truth." Lord Death answered as he coughed to proclaim his decision for the young girl, "Therefore, it's best if you stay within Death City. We may be able to help you return to where you came from."
"But I can't...I have t-" Aura hesitated.
"Then how're you going to return?" Soul finally spoke up a little bit ticked off on how long the conversation continued, "From the looks of it, you're stuck on square one for now. Don't be stu-OUCH!"
"Soul!" Maka chopped her poor weapon down, as she decided to answer in Soul's place, "Returning to your world should be your first priority, but Lord Death is right. It's better if you stayed in Death City for your own safety. It might be something in our world that called you over here."
Aura bit her lip as she declared, "Alright, but I have to return. No matter what."
"For now just rest until I can find you a place to stay. I already have someone buying things you may need." Lord Death gave a blocky looking thumbs up toward Aura's direction. The sight lightened up her stress.
Lord Death thus turned over to the door,"Then I'll be returning to my work."
Before Lord Death could leave, Aura proceeded, "Thank you very much Lord Death!"
A small smile was lifted on Lord Death's mask as he made his way out.
"We'll also be going now, but if you need any explaination about Death City. Don't hesitate to ask me, okay?" Maka reminded the girl now sitting up from her infirmary bed.
The girl nodded in response as Maka and Soul left.
Maka's POV
As we walked away from the infirmary, Soul sliced the silence between us as we head back home, "You saw her soul didn't you?"
I stood still, remembering the picturesqued soul floating in Aura's body.
It was similar to a regular human's soul. Although her soul was binded, by many chains.
"Yes," I replied, "Ne, Soul. Was it possible for a soul to be bounded by the past?"
"I have no clue, but whatever Aura's been through must have restricted people from seeing her true self. What about the tonfas that were beside her bed?"
I shook my head, "Those are just regular weapons. No soul, but what was strange was that the chains on Aura's soul were also coiled within the weapons."
"Is that so?"
"It seems so," I understand as to why Lord Death asked me and Soul to go there, but what I couldn't understand as to why he chose us to hold onto Aura's secret.
Aurelia's POV
After everyone left, all I wondered was how am I going to get back home. I shifted my body, as I stared at my tonfas. Only my tonfas, and music player draped over by my headphone clips were left on the stand.
Gripping the sheets of the pillow, I silently made a vow.
"I'm going to hunt down the bastard that drowned me in this sanctum."
"Once bounded by the chains of guilt...you can never return to your former glory. You will be drowned through the void's inner santum as a result of the sin you brought to me. Now...find me."
A sinister smile formed.
"My dear puppet."
