Chapter 20: An unplanned rescue mission
"Wha-?" The voice laughs evilly. Gem, he took Gem.
"YOU ASSHOLE DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER, LET HER GO NOW!" I scream at the top of my lungs. Again the voice spoke.
"Sorry I suppose you'll come, alone... hehe." I was going to cry. I heard a familiar voice.
"Maka Chan...?"
"GEM?!" The voice spoke again.
"Better come to the old alleyway eight blocks away within 24 hours or she dies, and remember you must come alone." He hung up. The bastard took Gem away.
"You'll regret this."
I didn't go to school today, I needed to rescue Gem that's more important than school. I had to go alone I can't bring Soul with me or she's dies and who knows what will happen to us. I grab my cloak, as soon as it was on I grab a knife from the kitchen, if only I had that damn good luck charm that I stabbed myself with... AW did Sid take it? I'm gonna ask for that back.
I slid a knife from the kitchen in my cloak sleeve, and left into the blackness of the night. You dirty bastard, just wait till I come.
Five, six, seven, eight... here we are. Its an old alleyway alright, but I don't see anyone. I peak around, look through windows of buildings... nope. Where is he? I kick a box in frustration, huh?
"A tunnel ... out here?" I walk down the cold hard steps. My face lit up.
"GEM!" I ran up to her and hug her to death.
"I was so scared."
"I'm okay Maka Chan." She was tied up though.
"Here let's get you out."
"Not quite yet Miss Maka." The voice, I turn around.
"You." I glare at him, the man wore a dark suit and tie, his hair was pitch black his skin was pale. He had black lifeless eyes. He chuckles.
"You are such a liar Maka, you are beautiful." He walks up and strokes my face, I slid the knife closer to my hand.
"So beautiful, I thought you weren't coming."
"I'm here, now let me take Gem back."
"I'm afraid that isn't going to happen, I can't just let a beautiful woman like you just go away like that." He smiles. Gem spoke up.
"Let her go Aric, you can have me, kill me... just let her go." I stare at Gem, she knows him but how? She sounded more mature then herself.
"Silly little lady, like I said I can't let a beautiful woman go."
"You pervert, she's only fourteen, she goes through to much! Please I'm begging you let her go." He laughs, perfect. I slid the knife out and stab him... wait. He grabbed it.
"Huh." He pulls the knife up, which pulles me up to.
"What a clever trick, sneaking a knife here, but..." He let go of the knife, I fell, but landed on my feet. I gave him a cold stare, I ran at him and kept stabbing at him with the knife.
"You think that little blade will kill me?" He grabs my face and smashed it into the ground. He stepped on my back, I turn my head abit.
"I-I don't understand, why aren't you dead, I stabbed you at least thirty times."
"Well here is how life works, the strong are meant to survive, I am strong, to strong for even death." He snickers.
"No nobody can surpass death..." He sinks his foot into my back.
"I have surpassed death, unlike your kind who fears death and not grow stronger." I cry as his foot drives into my back hitting my spine.
"Now do you understand, I shall never die, what about you?" I stare at the ground.
"I will die..." Aric stares at me.
"But..." I stare at him.
"I will not die today!" I push hard on the ground and stood up, knocking Aric off his feet. I turn towards him and step on his face.
"You don't fear death huh? Well what do you fear? You cannot grow stronger without fear." He grabs my foot, I jump back. I grab the knife and drive it in his head. I twist it and pull it out, the knife was covered with his blood. He smirks, wait why isn't he dead?
"Is that all you can do?" Damn you stupid bastard die! I jump off of him.
"I need to teach a lesson Miss Maka." He grabbed me and threw me in front of Gem. I stare at her.
"Maka Chan." She cries.
"I-I'm sorry." Gem... I can't give up. I ran at Aric, he smirks and pushed me to the ground. I got up and ran around and stabbed his back. He laughs.
"You think that just one stab to the back will kill me?" I look at him, he pulls me closer.
"Your face, the fear in your eyes." He threw me, I hit the wall.
"Why don't you just kill me?" I ask.
"Kill me please, just get it over with."
"MAKA CHAN NO!" Aric smiles and walks over to me.
"Please, get it over with."
"MAKA CHAN RUN PLEASE!" Gem was balling.
"How would you like to die?"
"Don't care." He stabs my stomach and scratches my back. I cry. Everything became a blur. My blood smears the floors. I heard Gem yell my name, my vision was coming through. Aric was cut on his face, how did he get that? I felt an arm grab me and turn me over. I try to clear my vision.
"You are such an idiot pigtails."
"Huh?" I smile, only one person calls me such rude nicknames.
"Soul?" My vision came through, he smiles.
"Good thing for Gem's loud screaming." I sat up and look at Aric, I smile.
"Why you no good BITCH!" I kept the smile on my face.
"You told him, told him all about this! I WANT BOTH OF YOU TO DIE IN A HORRABLE BLOODY DEATH!"
I carefully stood up.
"Want us dead?" Soul asks, I smirk.
"Then come and get us!" Aric runs at me, I move to one side... what an idiot he completely missed me. I look in my partners direction.
"I can't kill him alone." I smile, Soul nods and changes into his weapon form. Aric glares at me.
"A meister?"
"Maka Chan is a meister?" I sigh.
"Gem I thought I told you I was a meister." Gem kicks in the chair. I look back at Aric. His soul was showing anger, I'll use that to my advantage.
"HEY ARIC COME ON KILL ME!" I yell, he runs up and, to the left, ha he missed again. I swung Soul at him and sent him flying. I began to run, ignoring the pain I was feeling in my back and stomach.
"HEY ARIC!" He stares at me, I push the blade up to his head.
"Feel it? That scared shakey feeling? That is fear, you fear me, you fear my weapon, feels awful doesn't it?" I say.
"Your eyes Aric, there full of fear. In the name of Lord Death... your soul is mine." I cut his head off. Soul changes back, I quickly hug him.
"Ew, you're covered in blood." He wiped my blood off. I look at the kishin soul, I grab it.
"Here ya go Soul." I said, Soul took it and ate it. I look at Gem, I quickly untied her and we hugged.
"Thanks Maka Chan, Soul Kun."
"No problem." I release. I stare at Soul.
"Ready to go?" I ask, he smirks.
"I guess."
