Please please please REVIEW! :D

I darted out the hospital doors. Everywhere I looked, I saw different, but all malicious, monsters. I ran. Foggily, I thought to myself, 'I..I need shelter. Somewhere safe. And some way to protect myself.'

I got to our beautiful city. My blond pigtails, which stopped under my shoulders, swung behind me wildly. These monsters were everywhere, attacking every citizen they came to. Hundreds of dead bodies littered the ground. Blood ran all over the road and sidewalk. Staining the grass red. Blood splatters on the sides of buildings and cars. My emerald green eyes widened in horror. I ran on. I darted past a sewer drain. A thick, slimy black tentacle shot out and wrapped around my ankle. I pitched forward and slammed down, on my stomach. I gasped for air as my head spun. The tentacle tightened painfully and began to drag me toward the drain. I screamed, clawing the ground for something to keep me from being dragged to my imitate death. I heard hissing and I flipped over to my stomach. The tentacle was eating through my good like acid. I gasped and screamed with new horror.

"No! Let go!" I grabbed a busted piece of a wooden fencepost. I twirled it between my fingers with a strange natural grace and stabbed the tentacle. It roared as it let go. I scrambled up to my feet and ran.

Smack into a huge monster. It was black and snakelike, covered in shiny scales. It had a line of razor sharp teeth where the eyes should have been. It had a flat nose and a mouth under it with teeth just as sharp. I scrambled back. I had no way to defend myself and I was stuck in the gap between two houses. It sat and eyeballed me, aware that I was trapped. It licked its lip with a long slimy green-black tongue. Its breathe smelled of death and decay. I shuddered. It lunged for me. I watched, knowing there was nothing for me to do. I tensed my body and waited.

I heard a window open with a shout of, "Hey, girl!" I looked up in shock. A man with stunning white hair and wine red eyes was leaning out the window, his hand outstretched. I stood on my toes and reached. Just as a man with spiky electric blue jumped out of the window.

He jumped and shouted, "Yahoo! The great Black*Star will save you, peasant!" The other male grabbed hold of my tiny, slim hand and pulled. I used my feet to try to pull myself up and cradled my hurt hand to my chest. Each beat of my heart send a fresh spike of pain through me. I was starting to feel woozy. The man gave a grunt and I was yanked through the window. I clamped my eyes shut, prepared to hit the floor and felt solid warmth. I opened my eyes in wonder. I was cradled against the white-haired man. I felt my heart jump. The look on his face said he did too. He puts me down gently.

"Are you hurt?" I gasp involuntarily, he had teeth like a shark's. I scramble away in horror in panic.

A soft, musical female voice speaks up, "Oh, do not be afraid, Soul is a friend!"

I turn to her. She had long, raven hair in a high ponytail that ended just under her bum. She was curvy, tall and very beautiful. "My name is Tsubaki. What is yours?"

I softly reply, "Maka.."
