Chapter 4

I'm so excited for this chapter :D Who else? Haha well Enjoy!

"Hello?"

I opened one eye to the sound of Maka's voice.

"Oh my god Blair, how are you? I'm good too."

I looked up to Maka's smiling face. Tomorrow is her graduation. I haven't seen her smile all week. She wouldn't even talk about how her day was, when I walked her home.

"Are you going to be home for tomorrow?" Maka then asked Blair.

She then jumps up and down in excitement. I'm guessing Blair is going to be there.

"No I didn't pick out a dress…..do I have to? But Blair!" I smiled up at Maka.

"No I'm not letting you pick out my dress. I can do it myself. I will go shopping today after school. Alright see you later bye." Maka then hangs up the phone still holding a smile.

I jump off the bed and walk into the kitchen to find bacon on a plate. I'm starting to get sick of bacon but that's why I go out to eat when Maka's at school. After Maka graduates, I have to bring her to Death City. Kid told me I have to tell her before we go that I'm her dog. I still don't know if she has the power. I will have to talk to Lord Death about it.

"Come here Soul!" Maka calls for me. I walk over to her. I wonder how she going to act when she finds out.

Maka then takes me outside. "I worry about you Soul. I never see you eat or go to the bathroom."

Because I'm not a dog, I'm not going to go outside. I just hide behind some bushes and pretend.

I then sense something wrong; looking over to Maka who was looking around. I then notice Giriko walking down the stairs. He looks over to Maka and smiles.

"Oh Maka!" He calls out to her. Maka glares at him as he gets closer.

"I heard Blair is coming home."

"Maybe she is, we will never know." Maka says back.

Giriko looks down at me. "Still see you have that stupid dog with you."

"Yup, can I help you with something? I have to get to school and you're wasting my time."

"No, no, just wanted to know how you been." Giriko says still looking at me.

"I'm fine, thank you." Maka says with a tone. Giriko continues to smile at me. I let out a growl making him back up.

"Well alright, I will see you around." Giriko says still staring at me. He backs up even more. With each step his smile grows. I felt trouble coming my way.

"Come on pick up!" I yell through my watch. I look up to the cloudy sky, feeling rain drops beginning to fall. People run around to seek shelter.

I let out a huff. Kid always answers but right now he's not. I need to know who this Giriko guy is. Something is off about him and I plan to find out what it is.

After trying one more time I give up. Maka seems more excited about her graduation; she left with a smile; even though Giriko talked to her.

"Hello Soul Eater." I hear a female voice say, turning around to become face to face with a cat.

"How do you know my name?" I demanded. The cat jumped off the ledge and began to rub against my legs.

"Lord Death." The cat says simply.

I slap my face. "You're Blair!"

With a poof of smoke Blair turns human. "Got that right Kitten."

"Does Maka know you're really a cat?"

"Nope, does Maka know you're her dog?"

"You knew about that?"

"Yup, Lord Death told me what you been doing this whole month."

"Wait there's something I'm confused about." I say.

Blair sits down at the bench, playing with her purple hair. "You want to know why you were signed to protect Maka even though I do that already."

My month drops. She was right.

"Well yeah." I said moving my wet hair out of my eyes.

Blair stretches, grabbing her purse, pulling out a nail file. I stare at her waiting for the answer.

"Well?" I asked annoyed.

"Oh, right, sorry." Blair says filing her nails. "Maka is a good girl but she's wanted."

"I know that!" I say.

"Let me finish!" Blair yells back. I put my hands up.

"Thank you. As I was saying, Maka is wanted because of this power that she has. But what they don't know is that Maka doesn't have the power just yet, I do. You have to unlock it."

I stood there, shocked. "But-I"

Blair cuts me off. "Maka's parents have a crystal that gives you power. It protects you from anything. Once put on, it gives you powers so that you don't have to wear it all the time, it gives you speed as well. Let's you throw light at the enemy, it's a cool color, a light green like Maka's mom's eyes."

"Whoa, wait, then why did Lord Death tell Kid, to tell me, to find the power inside her when it was a crystal all along?"

"I'm getting to that!" Blair says pointing the nail file at me. I back up out of her reach. She huffs and continues.

"Look I was signed to protect Maka with my life. When I go away it's off mostly to kill evil witches or go to a real job to make money. I get paid either way."

I roll my eyes only to be slapped. I rub my head as Blair continues again.

"I had to go back to Death City for this month to talk to Lord Death on a way to train Maka using the crystal and without it. If you don't master it, you can kill yourself with power over load. I talked to him on how Kami use to use it. Or Spirit. When Maka was twelve her parents and I went out to kill some kishins but we didn't know about the number of witches there. They killed Kami and ran. Spirit went after them in anger. I couldn't stop him. No one has seen him since. I ran to Kami and she told me to give Maka the crystal as a graduation present."

"A graduation present?"

"I know! I thought she was going to say 18th birthday but no-"

"No, no! So that means you're going to give Maka the crystal tomorrow!"

"I guess I am," Blair says nodding. "Do you still want to hear the rest of the story?"

"Yeah." I said sitting down on the bench next to her.

Blair taps her fingers, trying to remember.

The rain gently fell from the sky, starting to clear up.

"Lord Death told me that every witch is after her. They believe the crystal is her soul. If they capture her then lock her up, they can drain her and use it for evil. The crystal can make their power an increase, if that happens we won't be able to ever defeat them."

I stood up in shock. "Then why the hell is that crystal still around. And why give it to a poor soul like Maka!?"

Blair starred at me dead in the eyes. "Maka is more powerful than you think. With that crystal it unlocks your true powers. Everyone has one. The crystal unlocked Kami's and Spirits before Maka was born. Then that means her power is so strong that she could surpass a god."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was confused on what's going on. Then if Maka does get captured by the witches, they will wipe us all out. They might do the same to the humans. The world can change all because of a stupid crystal that Blair is holding.

"We couldn't let any kishin get Maka, which is why you were sent. We decided to wait till Maka was older so I suggest after she finishes school because that's what Kami wanted. Lord Death's family created the crystal about thousand years ago. They had people where it and defeat evil. Then weapons were created. You can't try it on them, it's too powerful to handle. Misters are able to adjust it."

I looked over to Blair, trying to understand what she just said. "Well how did Maka's parents get it?" I asked. Blair shrugged.

"Not sure, all Kami told me was Lord Death handed it to her. She mastered it then had Spirit try even though he was a weapon. It made him strong but he stopped using it after it unlocked his powers, too much on his body and soul."

"Are you sure that witches don't know about this. It's been around for a real long time."

Blair ran a hand though her hair. "I believe some witches do know about it. That worries me though. I asked Lord Death but he just waved it off."

"You know this is a lot for me to settle in. I can't imagine what Maka's going to think."

Blair placed both hands on her head. "Oh no, I never prepared myself for this. I wasn't even going to give her the crystal. I didn't even think witches will find out about her either. I was just going to let her live a normal life!"

"Without her even knowing what you and her parents did!" I yell standing up.

Blair still sat on the bench sulking. I glared at her. Blair only found out that Maka was in danger over a month ago. She still has no idea what to do. I sat down next to her. I don't even know how to protect Maka from this either.

Time for Maka's POV~~~

I smiled to myself holding the bag with my dress inside. Blair is going to be so proud of me! I got a short black and purple dress that shows my back. It hugs my body, showing off my curves. I was happy to finally get a body after all these years being teased for being a late bloomer.

The sky started to clear up very nicely. Glad I wasn't suck in it.

Tomorrow is the day I always dreamed of! Then off to college. I look down at the brick sidewalk full of puddles. I didn't make any friends. That lonely feeling stung in my heart. What hurt even more is that Mama and Papa aren't back yet. They have been gone since I was twelve. I sometimes think that they are really dead and Blair is just hiding it from me.

I look up to see familiar white hair next to purple. My smiled retuned to my face. It's Blair and Soul/Evans!

I run over to them in excitement.

Crack

I stop running. My glasses broke! I took them off. Blue circles start to show. I close my eyes and open them then copping the process. They finally went away. I still have no idea what is wrong with me. Why do I always see blue and red? Maybe that's why Mama and Papa told me not to make friends. I shook my head, no, no; there must be a reason for it.

I look back over to Blair. She was holding her head just like Soul/Evan was.

"Blair!" I shout to her. She jumps up looking right over to me. I wave to her with the hand holding the glasses.

"Kitten!" She yells back, running over to me. Soul/ Evan walk's over too.

"Ewe you're all wet!" I said with a giggle. Blair still gives me a hug. She hates getting wet which led to my surprise.

"Hey Maka," Soul/Evans says to me.

"Hey…..?"

"Call me Soul, that's my real name, Evans is my last."

"Then why not say your real name in the first place?" I asked, even though I'm pretty sure I already asks that.

"You'll find out later." He says to me. I huff, I hate waiting.

"Did you both sit in the rain?" I then ask them.

"Yeah, we were talking and I guess we forgot about it?" Blair answers.

Soul only shrugs at my question.

I kick my foot in the puddle. "Oh, Blair I got a dress!" I then say. Blair squeals grabbing the bag from my hands.

"What happen to your glasses?" I hear Soul say. "Hm? Oh, they just cracked out of nowhere." I said giving it to him.

He takes them and looks at it. I watch his eyes skim it over. I then notice that they are red, not grey. I wanted to say something but decided against it.

"I found the problem." I jump to his voice. Blair is in the background gushing over my cute dress.

"You did?"

"Yeah, this little rock cracked it." He says pulling it out. I was shocked, "I didn't know rocks came that size, and to crack the glass too."

"Thanks Soul." I then say taking the glasses back. I look back into his eyes. Red, never seen a color likes that. Reminds me of my dog Soul; which has the same color as….Soul?

"I took out my contacts that change my eye color and took off my fake glasses, I can see perfectly without them. This is my real eye color, red."

It's like he read my mind! I look at him shocked. He gave me a grin showing off those sharp teeth.

"I'm hungry guys lets go out to eat!" Blair says already dragging me and Soul to her favorite restaurant.

We sat at a round table in a bar. Blair purred to every cute guy she saw. Soul glared at her for some reason. Does he like her? The question made me so uneasy. Blair's too old for him anyway. I look at him; I don't even know how old he is.

After dinner we walked quietly to Blair's and I house. I was excited to show Soul, well Soul. Even though he his allegoric but maybe he can just look at him.

"Do you want to me to hold that for you?" I hear Soul say.

"Wha- OH! No I got it," I said smiling at him. He raised a brow. "Are you sure? You been dragging it on the ground."

I look down at the bag so see that he was right! My cheeks turned red as I lifted it up higher. Soul just takes it from my hands anyway.

"Better of not ruined that dress!" Blair says poking me in the arm. "It's fine!" I say back.

"Well I got to go. Thanks for dinner Blair! See you guys tomorrow." Soul says giving me back my bag and starting to walk down the road.

"Wait, Soul! Do you want to see my dog?"

"Maybe later Maka, I will tomorrow, okay?" He shouts to me.

I sigh but nod.

"You liiiiiiiike him, don't you?" Blair purrs to me.

"I do not! He saved me, I'm thankful for that!"

"Sure, wait… he saved you?"

"Yeah from a thing called a kishin." I watched Blair's eyes grow wide. I knew right there that she knew what I was talking about.

"You know what a kishin is, don't you?" I asked, more or less demand.

Blair was about to say something but was interrupted by someone.

"Well, well, well. Blair you came back home~ How was your trip?" Giriko asked, coming closer with a sick smile on his face.

A red ball formed in front of my eyes. What does that mean?

"Maka stay back!" Blair says pushing me behind her.

"Blair I found some interesting news today. About that dog too."

Soul? What is he talking about?

"I found out all I need to do is kill you and that dog! Then, Maka is all mine."

What?

"MAKA RUN INSIDE AND HIDE WITH SOUL!"

"But-"

"NOW!"

I jump a little at her voice, fear was in it. I tighten my grip on my bag and run past her to the stairs.

Giriko's arm transformed into a saw as he jumped in front of me. My eyes widen. What the heck just happen?

Blair quickly jumps in front of me. A pumpkins fly's out of her hand hitting Giriko.

"MAKA GO!"

I didn't know what to do. What did I just see? Magic? I ran upstairs as tears fell down my cheeks. Blair's screamed was heard in the air. I wanted to help. But how? By getting killed? All I knew is that Giriko want's Soul and I. I have to protect my dog!

I open the door as Soul sits there waging his tail but stops seeing my face. I pick him up when I hear another bang. Running into my room I threw my bag in the closet, Soul barked at me. I took out some blankets and pillows.

"MAKA!" Giriko screamed to me. More tears flew down my cheeks. I grabbed Soul but he kept squirming like he was trying to do something.

I rapped him again and again so he will be hidden. He barked and didn't stop moving. It was like he knew something was wrong.

"Stay Soul, I don't know what's happening but you're in danger and I'm going to protect you!" I yell to him. I close my door and lock it. Soul's barks wouldn't stop.

I run into the kitchen and grab a knife.

Giriko screamed my name again. I could hear him coming.

What happen to Blair? I hope she's not-

BANG

I jump. I kept shaking. I walked into the hallway.

BANG

I gripped the knife as hard as I could.

BANG

I'm going to throw it at him. If I'm lucky it will hit him!

I hear the sound of a chain saw cutting though my door. Soul's barks got louder, I knew he was almost free.

My door came crashing down. I cried out in fear.

"Where is he Maka?"

I shake my head.

"WHERE IS HE? I WANT HIM DEAD! TELL ME!" He screams. Both of his arms were chain saws. I stepped back.

Soul barked again making me cringed. Giriko smiled.

"You put him in your room? How pathetic and I thought it was going to be hard coming from a smart girl."

This was my chance. I chucked my knife to his head. He dodged it with ease. I bit my lip. Shit I forgot people could do that!

He laughed as he got closer.

"I'm not going to hurt you Maka. I promised that I would bring you back alive. All I want is that stupid dog!"

"You can't touch him. I won't let you! What did you do to Blair?" I scream with tears in my eyes.

Giriko only smiled. " She's gone, just like your mommy and daddy. Now I'm going to take away your puppy."

No, NO….NO, NO, NO, NO…NO! She is not dead. Don't listen to him Maka. He's not going to hurt you for some reason. This is your chance to win!

I look at my surroundings. Books! I go to grab one but Giriko stops me. One of his arms are back to normal.

"I don't think so!" He says grabbing me and lifting me up.

My bedroom doors starts to slam so loud that I knew it was going to fall.

Giriko throws me to the ground.

My door falls and out comes Soul.

Giriko smiles; getting in a fighting position.

To my disbelief, I watch Soul run, transforming into a huge dog; jumping on Giriko biting his neck. Giriko screams but his arms transform back into normal.

Soul then does a back flip transforming into someone with white hair. My heart stops, it's Soul!

Soul's arms transform into the blade that I'd seen when I first met him. He stabs Giriko right in the heart.

Giriko screams out in pain only to fall limp on the floor. Soul back's up breathing heavy.

He then turns to me. My head starts to get foggy. All I see is him getting closer.

Then everything was black.
