Stranger

Maka POV:

That night I dreamt of it, I dreamt of the wolf. I remember staring face to face with it, looking into its almost human like golden eyes. I remember seeing my reflection, but I looked different, I looked how I used to. My long sandy blonde hair hanging loose below my shoulders, my face had a brighter colour and my emerald eyes weren't teary anymore. It couldn't have been me, I wasn't that girl anymore.

"Maka!" Someone called my name from outside my window.

I opened my eyes and slowly turned my head to stare at my friends that were standing outside my front door waving their arms around trying to grab my attention.

"We know you're in there!" Patty yelled in her cheerful voice "No point hiding!"

I stepped away from the window and sat onto my bed, making sure I was out of sight. I couldn't handle them right now, I wanted to be alone, I didn't want to talk to anyone about anything, I just wanted to be all alone.

You need company right now.

Ignoring the voice I reached out my finger and pressed the play button against my stereo and straight away music flared out of the speakers shattering my eardrums almost, but I didn't want to turn it down.

"Na na na na na na na, you run the company!" My Chemical Romance echoed through the air in the whole room.

Liz POV:

Music suddenly blared through the winter air, startling me and the others. I span around and turned to face Maka's bedroom window where I could just about see the top of her head.

"Na na na na na na na!" Patty cheered singing along with the words of the music.

I shook my head in disbelief biting my lower lip. She's in there, I need her to come out.

"Open this bloody door!" Black*star was starting to lose his temper again and started to bash himself against the door "I am not joking! I will knock this down!"

Maka's bedroom window shot open faster than I had ever seen before "What?" She exclaimed at us.

"Everyone keeps talking to us about you" Tsubaki said twiddling her fingers around "They keep saying stuff… about the… you know"

"Wolf" I finished for her "They keep saying that you're a witch and things like that"

Maka rolled her eyes "So…?"

"What do you mean so?" Black*star shouted "Were getting all the shit for it because you're too scared to come and show your face around the school again!"

"Black*star!" Tsubaki exclaimed in shock staring blankly at the blue haired boy "That's enough!"

"No!" He continued to argue back "I'm sick of it, so if she wants to go ahead and be the depressive little emo that she is, by all means she can go on because I'm not just going to be her back up for when she has no other shoulders to cry on!"

I turned my head to watch Maka's reaction but as soon as I heard the sound of Patty's palm hitting against Black*stars cheek I turned my head back to face him.

"What the hell is wrong with you Black*star?" Patty yelled at the top of her lungs placing her hands on her hips "She's our friend and we need to be there for her! Not yelling at her like she's a piece of crap!"
A loud bang came from the direction of Maka's room, I span around to see that she had slammed her window shut but was still standing there holding her palms against the glass staring at the empty space between her fingers.

I let out a long deep sigh "What's happening to you Maka…?"

Death the Kid POV:

Rage. Rage was all I felt inside me. Rage was all that filled up inside me. I clenched my hands into two tight fists as I watched the blue haired prick of a man that boy was walk away from Maka's front yard. The other girls walked with him, walking either side of him and across the road past the forest.

I'm gonna kill him!

Maka POV:

I fell back against the wall slightly knocking my head up against it, but I didn't care. I threw my palms over the top of my eyes and slowly slid down sliding my back down the wall until I was sitting on the ground.

Why did he say that, why is he being so mean to me?

A couple of tears streamed down my cheeks but on their way down they caught themselves onto my fingers and absorbed into my skin. I scrunched up my fingers so that my nails were now digging into the skin across my forehead.

"What did I do?" I cried out loud through gasps of breath "Why did he say that?"

Please don't cry! The voice inside my head was trying to calm me down.

The sound of a pebble scraping across the glass of my window startled me and some how made me stop crying. I looked up and other to the windows direction, as if hoping to see what it was straight away.

"Maka?" The sound of Soul's voice calmed me just a bit "Maka is everything okay?"

I took long deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling while keeping my fingers gripped on tight to me knees. I couldn't open the door for too many reasons. 1. I had just been crying and I couldn't let him see me like this. 2. I didn't want to explain everything to him. And 3. I was too weak to move any bone in my body.

Three loud knocks echoed up the stairs coming from the front door, but still I didn't react. The sound of the bangs still lingered a little longer in my ear, each knock a little longer than the last one.

What happened…?

Liz POV:

I went to school the next day, prepared for what anyone was going to throw at I, Patty and the others, I just really couldn't care less anymore.

"Liz!" Tsubaki called from the other side of the hallway "Come over here Liz!"

Taking in a deep breath I slowly walked over to her and the others gripping my books tighter to my chest "What is it?"

"Is Maka gonna show up today?' Patty asked with a cheerful tone in her voice "I hope so…"

I looked away from them slowly. I really didn't know, I wanted her to show up also, so maybe she could tell everyone to leave us alone but even if she was here, I know she wouldn't do that.

"Uh…" Black*star stuttered walking over to us while rubbing the back of his neck "Hey guys…"

Tsubaki's smile dropped as she folded her arms "Have you said sorry to her yet?"

He sighed "I was gonna go there after school"

I turned around to face him "Why the hell did you yell at her like that! I doubt she's ever going to show her face around here now!"

"Liz…" Tsubaki tried to stop me.

"You just had to go and open your big mouth!" I continued to yell.

Tsubaki carried on "Liz…"

"Why would you even wanna yell at her like that?" Still screaming.

"LIZ!" Tsubaki shouted right up in my face.

"WHAT!" I span around to face her in a rage.

"Oh my god…" Patty whispered slowly pointing her finger out in front of us.

I followed hers and Tsubaki's gaze. We wasn't the only ones that looked shocked, everyone had stopped talking and turned to face the boy casually strolling through the crowds.

I stammered "A-A new boy…"

A boy with silk like black hair held his hands deep into his jean pockets and continued to walk through the corridor, three white stripes curved round the left side of his head looking completely unsymmetrical from his left and right. Two shining gold orbs shimmered as he turned his head to stare back at everyone who was staring at him as he carried on walking. His skin was so pale, like frosty ice on a cold winter morning. He didn't smile, he just kept on walking, and walked straight through the door into Class Crescent Moon

But no one ever moves in or out of this city…
