Chapter 6
…..haha….
Ok well um, I just had my 6th surgery. I've been really stressed. Sad. So like that puts me not in the mood to write…. I started chapter 6 like three times in the past months but then go back and delete it and be like I hate this! Ahhh!
So I just reread my story though Chapters 1-5. Oh my god, I make so many stupid mistakes D;
Like with 'Your' when it should be 'You're' AND the word 'allowed' I put 'Aloud'
Who else notice that? Haha man! Hopefully it didn't burn your eyes to much…
OKAY, also...well umm I hope you are still liking the story
So now, FINALLLLLLLYYYYY, here is chapter 6, please enjoy!
I place another bag into the moving truck that carried Maka's stuff. Maka came out with a carpet and threw it in. I look at her.
"What?"
"Carrying all the light stuff I see." I say with a smirk.
Maka puffs her cheeks. "That's what those guys are for, to carry the heavy stuff." She says pointing to the men carrying out her bed.
"Hm, true, very true."
Maka and I walk inside. Blair comes out of the kitchen. "I checked the kitchen, its all clear."
"Good." Maka says with a nod, then heading off to her bedroom. I follow.
Maka stands in the empty room, looking left and right. The guys cleared everything.
"I'm really leaving… this is the place Blair and I moved to when my parents left."
"You moved here? I thought you were already here." I said shocked.
Maka's eyes looked like crystals; like she was about to cry. She shook her head.
"Nope… I use to live in a nice small house. In a nice neighborhood, that was in a small town. I use to have all these friends in elementary. My parents were always in and out, but never gone longer than a month. Sometimes they would come back covered in scars and bruises. They never told what it was from, they'll just say, 'got in a fight.' My friends were never allowed over either. I didn't know why. As I got older, one day my parents came home from a three month trip. They apologized for being gone for so long and that they loved me. Then they say I'm not allowed to make friends! THEN they say we're moving away!"
Tears fell from Maka's eyes.
"And then..." Her voice shakes.
"They leave, never to return. I remember that day. Everything was all packed. I said goodbye to everybody I know. Blair told me to stay home and she will be back later that night. But when she came home… she was a mess. Looked like she was crying, I then asked her where were my mom and dad. She froze in her steps looked me in the eyes and simple said somewhere. Never giving me a real answer, then I started to get post cards from them. Telling me sorry and how much they love me. Then saying it's going to be just me and Blair. Blair couldn't afford the place where we were going to move. She then found this nice cheap two bedroom apartment. We met Giriko; I went to school but didn't make one friend. I would be just mean for no reason… "
Maka started to sob. I wrapped my arms around her, letting her cry in my chest.
"I-I never did find out why I wasn't allowed to make friends. My parents never told me! So then I was too scared to try! They never even gave me an answer on why I see red and blue dots on people! And the worst part was the last thing I said to them before they left… it was, 'I can't believe you guys are leaving again! We just packed up everything and you're leaving without me? So Blair and I are going to be living by ourselves? You don't tell me anything! I hate you!' I then ran off to my room. They didn't say anything and just left!"
Maka was practically screaming.
"That's when Blair told me to stay and she left. But at least she came back! It was stupid for me to even ask her where they were! I know Soul, I know my parents are never coming back, I just know it! Even though they never told me anything, I still love them. I miss them. I-I want answers."
"Going to Death City will give you all your answers Maka." I say.
Maka tightens the grip on my shirt. "I hope so."
"Hey guys, the apartment is all clear, let's go!" Blair says sticking her head in the room.
"Let's go." I say to Maka, she nods and grabs my hand. We walk out of the apartment, handing the key over to the new manager.
Blair pays the guys who helped us pack. Then we got into the moving truck; Blair taking the wheel, Maka in the middle then me on the end.
"So… how exactly long is this drive to Death City?" Maka asks.
"Not long at all. All we got to do it drive to somewhere clear and go into the portal." Blairs says starting up the truck.
"Oh.. wait what?" Maka says uneasy.
I laugh, "We'll be fine Maka."
"We better be." She says in a pout, crossing her arms. Then we were off on the road.
I was awoken by the sound of popping noises then the truck stopping.
"Oh, no… um," I hear Blair mumble to herself.
I look over, "What?"
She turns to me, "We're kinda out of gas."
Maka wakes up from her nap as well, realizing her head was on my shoulder.
"What's going on?" She mumbles.
"We're out of gas."
"WHAT!" Maka screams awake. Then turning to Blair, "Come on, you're a magic cat, fill the truck."
Blair taps her chin and thinks. "I never did something like that before; I might blow up the truck if I try it."
"We went through the portal right?" I ask pulling Maka away from Blair.
"Yup! Death City is right over there!" Blair chirps, pointing to the City.
"I can't believe the truck dies within less than a mile." I say leaning back.
"How about you push the truck Soul?" Blair says twisting her hair.
"What? He can't push a truck that's crazy!" Maka then says.
I look at the distance. "Yeah, I can do that." I open the door, jumping into the hot sun. I take off my jacket and shirt, throwing it in the truck. Maka stares; I gave a chuckle while I headed to the back of the truck.
"Okay Blair, push down the gas pedal!"
"Mh, kay!"
The truck starts and I push. The truck starts to move. Man I wish Black Star was here, I could get him mad and he can kick it a good hundred feet.
"Need help?" Maka ask now wearing a tank top and shorts.
"Sure." I say flashing a grin.
Maka starts to push. I laugh. "Never use this much mussel before?"
"NOPPPEEE." Maka replies.
I look to the side. We were making progress but in this weather I know I was going to need a break. I needed to get the truck faster to Death City. That's it! I then think of a good idea. I stop pushing causing Maka to slip.
"Ops sorry." I say helping her up. "I'm got an idea."
I ran full blast past the truck, ignoring Blair's calls. I jump in midair then landing hard; causing a hill to form with the truck on the top.
"Drive it down Blair!"
And she does. The truck takes full speed down the hill going right to the entrance of the city.
"How on earth did you do that?" Maka says running to me after she jumped off the truck.
"I don't know. Black Star and I use to do it all the time in the winter so we can make so epic hills to sled on."
"It's snows here?"
"Not really. We go more up north."
"Oh, well let's go." Maka then says walking to the entrance.
"That was excusing," Blair wines getting out of the truck.
"Cause you did so much!" I say walking past her.
"Hey! I drove, sitting on a seat, having to keep your eyes on the road."
I wave her off; heading straight to a guard.
"Hello, Mr. Soul Eater Evans. I'm guessing the first part of the mission was a success?"
I shrug, "You can say that but be careful, trouble is coming."
The guard nods at me, then heading back to his post. The city doors close.
"Whoa."
I look over to Maka, "Different?"
"…yup."
"Maka! I found a nice apartment for the two of us." Blair happily says. "Everything in Death City is in great shape and clean. Also it's close to the school."
Maka looks over to me then back at Blair. "What about Soul?"
"I already live here Maka. Got my own place."
"Oh." Was all she said.
The truck now filled with gas, stops at Maka and Blair's new apartment.
"Oh it's so cute!" Blair squeals shaking Maka. She puts on a smile in response.
"Are you alright?" I ask after Blair runs insides.
Maka looks up, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"No you're not." I say giving her a push. She laughs and pushes back. I quickly grab her by the waist throwing her over my shoulder. She squeals and hit's my back.
Carrying her inside then dropping her on the couch. Maka laughs then looks up, sinking in the new look.
"Wow. It's so, so nice looking!"
The kitchen on the left, den on the right, two bedrooms down the hall with a bathroom in the middle.
"Yeah and this apartment has an underground garage!"
"No way!" Maka says jumping up.
"Yup."
"Now Blair can finally get a car, Giriko wouldn't let us."
"Whelp he's gone now." I say patting my stomach. Making Maka laugh.
Blair walks in. "Come on Maka, time for you to set up your new room."
"Oh this is so exciting! Come on Soul" Maka says, gesturing me to follow her.
"Not so fast." Blair says to me, causing Maka to stop in her tracks. "Soul, I want you to go see your brother."
My mouth drops. "What? No way!"
Blair sighs, then handing me my shirt and jacket. "Soul, he's worried about you. He told me to tell you when we got here is for you to go home and see him right away."
"I'll see him when I go home."
"Then go home now."
I look at Blair in the eyes, I can't believe she wants me to go home and see my brother!
"…Soul, you know what day it is."
I clench my fist. "Fuck." I put on my shirt and jacket. Then head to the doors. "Bye Maka, bye Blair, see you tomorrow."
I pull out my motorcycle out of my watch then slapping myself in the face. I could have just put the stupid gas from the motorcycle into the truck. All well, it's done and over with. Not cool, Soul, not cool.
"Soul!" Maka yells to me. I turn to her.
"W-what if the man comes back?"
I look into her scared, sad eyes. "You'll be fine tonight. I'll see you tomorrow. Now go back inside."
Maka continues to look at me with such a look. She really didn't want me to leave. I place my hand on top of her head.
"Maka-"
But I was cut off by her tears. I pick her up and carry her back inside. Handing the sobbing Maka to Blair. I give Blair a sad look.
"Maka, I have to go but I will back tomorrow." With that I went back outside to my motorcycle. Getting on and driving home to Wes.
Maka's POV!
"How could you?! Why did you have to send him home Blair?" I questioned with a yell.
"Maka, when I ran into Soul's brother, he asked me when we were going home. I told him the date, he then says, can you please send Soul home right away when you get here? I said sure."
"But why? I'm scared!"
"Maka I know you are! Dammit I'm here to protect you too. I've been doing it your whole life! I can fight witches to Maka; you got to trust me on that! You don't even know what today is for Soul and Wes!"
"Then what is today?!"
"The day their parents died!"
I stopped, everything inside me freezing. "B-But the way Soul acted today… h-he-"
"Seemed fine, I know." Blair says cutting me off. "Soul doesn't talk about this to anyone but his brother. He doesn't even act different. Wes told me everything about today and how Soul changed. Soul doesn't cry. It's rare when he does, more or less something important to him."
"But, how did they die?" I asked sitting on the couch. Blair joins me, taking my hand.
"By Which Izzy. She is one of the most powerful witches ever to live. She has killed so many of our people. She doesn't send kishins; she sends men that are made of ink. Their harder to kill and always gets you stuck. They also have no soul. Giving weapons and misters no full reason to kill them."
"Do you know how it happened?"
"How they were killed?" Blair asks; I nod.
"Not sure, all I know is that Soul and Wes were there when it happen, Wes says Soul blames himself for their death."
"Why!?"
"Because of his little mistake. Wes said that he and Soul were hiding from the Witch. The ink men oblivious to them. Their parents were winning against Izzy. Then when their parents fell, the ink men were going after them as well. Soul quickly cut off part of the wall sending it crashing on the ink men, but it gave away Soul and Wes hiding place. Izzy saw them and she strikes them but their parents saved them, losing their lives."
"How old was he?"
"Soul was about eight years old. Ten years ago."
"Oh, but Soul saved them!"
"I know he did, he doesn't see it that way. All because his parents died. Wes says even though his parents were winning but he could tell they were getting tied, they were bond to lose and be killed. Izzy's plan was all destroyed when Soul broke the wall. Soul really did was save thousands of people lives. Even himself and Wes."
"Does Soul know this?"
"I think he does, but like I said, he doesn't see it that way."
"What did Soul mean when he said Izzy has been awakened?"
"Well after that fight, Lord Death was able to capture her and put her to sleep."
"He didn't kill her!"
"He couldn't, there is only one thing in the world that could kill her."
"Which is?" I asked.
"This crystal." Blair says holding up some crystal.
I look at it, "I remember seeing that before!"
"Yup; from your parents."
"Wait! Why did my parents have it?"
"Maka tomorrow is when Lord Death will tell you the whole story. This crystal is yours, BUT you may not put it on till he tells you too. This crystal is so powerful it unlocks mister's full powers. And you Maka are the one who has this magic power. A lot of witches just know you have the power not knowing it's the crystal. This is why you are wanted."
My mouth hung open. Is she for real? I'm wanted because I hold this great power when really it's the crystal?
"What if I lose it?"
"Don't!" Blair stays putting in back in this little box. "I didn't and I lose stuff all the time."
"Blair, so I have to wear this for the rest of my life? What if someone takes it off of me?"
"The crystal won't let them." Blair says. "When you put it on Maka, it's going to unlock your powers that you will be able to not wear it. You are born with such power because your parents unlocked their powers then had you."
"Oh my god. So you're saying I'm one of the most powerful people on the planet?"
"Yup! And you will be the one to kill Izzy."
Okay amazing time over. I sunk in the couch. I can't kill somebody! I don't even know how to fight!
"Maka…"
I look over to Blair.
"You got this. Everyone is here to help you. We will all be by your side when we fight this witch. Now we might come across other witches along the way like Medusa but you got to be brave."
I nod at her. I'm ready.
"Blair, I'm ready to hear the story tomorrow and what I got to do."
"Good girl! Nya~ Kitten!" Blair squeals.
I laugh as she pulls me in a hug.
"Now," Blair says standing up, "Let's set up our rooms!"
I nod my head. "Oh Blair!"
"Yes Kitten?"
"Am I going to find out about my parents tomorrow?"
Blair's cat ears fall to her head.
"Yes you are, kitten, yes you are."
Tears start to fall; I could already tell the news won't be good. But I had to be strong. I walk into my room, closing the blinds, plugging in my lamp and grabbing blankets to use to sleep with. I curl into bed and closed my eyes.
Soul's POV:
"Now say it again."
I sighed, running my hand through my hair.
"It's not my fault that our parents died; I'm a hero for saving thousands of lives."
Wes wiped away tears, "Good job Soul, good job."
I flash him a smile.
He then leans next to me, patting my knee, looking me right in the eyes. "Soul, it's really not your fault. We both know they weren't going to make it out of there. Nothing can kill Izzy."
I felt tears start to slip, Wes wiping them away.
"I know Wes, I know."
How was that? Did it catch your attention? Hopefully less spelling mistakes o.O
Anyway! I really like this chapter, proud of myself, coming up with these sob stories out of nowhere. Haha!
So the next chapter will be about Maka meeting everybody and training how to use the crystal.
Hopefully that chapter won't take months to come -_-
I know I will have the story finish during summer, no school= stress gone. So yeah.
But now… PLEASE REVIEW :DDD
And sorry again…
BYEEEEEEEEEE
