Stranger
Maka POV:
Two weeks had gone by, two long emotional weeks since that day where my whole life was as bad as it was before. I couldn't breathe, he was the only reason I felt like my life was worth living, and now it's all gone… all of that happiness I had inside of me has be wasted away.
My heart sunk deeper down into my chest as I watched the white snowflakes fall in front of the window. "I didn't know him for that long, but part of me feels like I knew him forever..."
My black haired friend sat on the bed in front of me and slowly took hold of my hands. "It will be okay Maka, you'll get through this, we'll all get through this."
I stared at her from the corner of my eyes, I saw the little smile on her lips and it stayed there until she pulled me close to her and let me have the hug I needed since the day, he left...
Liz POV:
She hadn't answered her phone in ages. Tsubaki's been with her almost everyday while I've been keeping an eye on Black*star. He hasn't even been to see Maka yet and right now she needs her friends by her side.
I've been watching the way he moves, it's almost as if his trying his best to avoid her. It's hard to remember the last nice thing he said to her, and its hard to remember when all of this weird stuff started happening. Maka knows something about it all, I have to find out.
Soul POV:
I haven't seen Maka in a while, I'll look outside my window everyday to see if I could watch her walk up her path and jump into the arms of that golden eyed boy, but I haven't seen him in a while either. I've been thinking that maybe they broke up or something, I hope not… she was happy with him, if only I could ever make her smile like he did.
Tsubaki POV:
She cried and she cried and when she cried I held her tightly in my arms. I had never seen one of my best friends cry this much in years, sure she would cry nearly all the time, but her tears had never fell so much and so hard in a short period of time. It was amazing how much this girl could cry within hours.
She sniffed as she slowly pulled away from the hug. "You don't have to stay here…"
I placed my hands on her shoulders. "I know I don't but I'm going to, I will stay here as long as you need me to. I'm always here for you Maka."
Black*star POV:
I dug my hands deeper into my jean pockets, trying to keep my skin from freezing. Every bone in my body froze a little more as I continued to walk through the snowy street. The snow still continued to fall, slowly floating down from the clouds and landing in my sky blue hair.
I had thought about going to see her, to talk to her, but there is no way that she would want to speak to me. Liz told me to stay away from her, I bet she doesn't even remember those words she had said to me.
The street was deserted and covered in snow all of the shops were closed and there was no sign of footprints in the snow besides mine. I stared up at the pale blue sky that was filled with snow covered clouds and took a big deep breath.
What's going on?
Suddenly I could hear footsteps coming from behind me, at first I though they were my own but as I turned around I saw the pink haired boy slowly walking along behind me. I turned my head back to face the front again and quickened my pace so I could get home faster.
Is he following me?
As I sped up, I heard his feet slam against the ground faster, getting quicker as I slowly started jogging up the path.
Maka POV:
There was a light tap against the front door and Tsubaki quickly ran down the stairs to answer it leaving me behind in the silent filled with tears room. The echo of the light tap lingered in my ears still evening though it wasn't that loud to be echo worthy.
I heart the front door being opened and someone stepping through the doorway.
KID!
I flew myself off of the bed and towards my bedroom doorway. I ran out onto the landing and jumped down as many stairs as I could at a time, gripping tightly onto the railing. I flew myself off of the last few steps throwing myself into the wall at the bottom of the stairs but I didn't care, I pushed myself away from the wall and started running down the hallway to the front door.
Butterflies and excitement filled the pit of my stomach as I ran towards the door but as soon as I saw Liz stepped into the hallway my heart smashed and dropped into my gut.
"Hey Maka…" She smiled slightly giving a little wave. "You feeling any better?"
Tears suddenly formed at the corner of my eyes. I clenched my hands into two tight fists and gripped them tightly by either of my sides. I tried to hold back the tears as hard as I ever could so she wouldn't know that I was upset.
I couldn't hold them anymore, I burst into tears as I spun around and ran for the stairs, gripping tightly onto the railing and dragging myself up each step.
Tsubaki POV:
I quickly closed the door behind her not letting in anymore of the cold winter air. I saw the expression she had on her face as she has watched Maka run up the stairs back to her room.
"She'll be okay…" I sighed. "She just really misses him."
"Like she misses her mother." Liz shrugged.
Slowly I closed my eyes and let out another deep breath trying to remove the weight from my shoulders. "Yeah…"
Liz walked towards the stairs. "Maka!"
There was no reply, so quietly she started to walk up the stairs, one step after the other, one at a time.
"Maka!" She called again. "I'm coming up, okay?"
Still she didn't reply to Liz. There was still silence that lingered all around us besides the echo of Liz's voice that was still in the air just a way away.
Liz POV:
I felt so bad… She thought I was Kid and she looked so disappointed when she saw me. I carried to walk up the stairs very slowly until I reached the landing that was surrounded by doors. Maka's door was left open as if she had ran in there so fast that she forgot to close it.
"Maka…" I said once more. "I'm sorry…"
Silently I could hear the sounds of her sobbing coming from behind her bedroom door. Once again I slowly started walking, towards her room. The door swayed a little as Maka continued to cry sitting behind it, jerking every now and then as she tried her best to hold in her tears.
"Please…" She sniffed. "Leave me alone…"
I bowed my head closing my eyes and turned back towards the stairs. "Okay."
Black*star POV:
As soon as I turnt round the corner I started to job picking up pace as my legs brushed past each other. I could still hear his footsteps behind me, getting faster trying to keep up with me. My heart thumped hard in my chest as I started sprinting trying to get away. I knew he was following me but I didn't understand why. I just kept running…
What the hell is going on!
There was no sign of anyone in the town, which made it easier to try and get away from the pink haired boy who was still running behind me and I didn't understand why.
Keep running Black*star, don't stop.
The ice beneath the snow was so slippery, I was scared that I was going to slip and fall on it and Crona was going to catch me, but I tried my best not to fall.
Liz POV:
I sat in the living room of Maka's house for hours, me and Tsubaki both sat there talking about what we were going to do with her. After a few hours we finally heard Maka stop crying and every now and then we would go upstairs to make sure she was still there and that she hadn't jumped out of her window or something.
"Do you think she's hungry?" I asked gesturing towards the kitchen. "If she's been up there for hours surely she's in need of something eat."
Tsubaki shrugged. "I don't know, she never tells us what she wants."
"I know…" I sighed stand up. "But still she needs to eat something…"
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed hold of whatever food I could, I poured a glass of water and turned around towards the stairs. It was dead silent, there was no sign of any sobbing coming from her room.
I stepped up the first step letting it creak beneath my foot then continued to walk up the entire staircase. "Maka, I got you some food."
"L-Liz…" Her voice croaked.
"Hang on I'm coming now…" I stepped up onto the landing holding the water and food firmly in my grasp.
He bedroom door was still left open and I could just see a glimpse of her lying spread out across her bed.
"Hey…" I smiled as I stepped through the door. "How you feeling?"
She swallowed. "Thirsty…"
Liz giggled. "Well I got you some water."
Slowly she began to sit up and lean against the wall behind her. She held her hand out towards the glass and softly brushed her finger tips against it. Carefully I placed it in her hand so that she didn't drop it and spill it all over her.
"Thanks…" She murmured as she placed it to her lips and slowly started to slowly the see through liquid.
I smiled once again. "It's okay…"
I watched her drink it quickly, I could tell she was thirsty. I bent down and placed the food I had gathered on the floor beside her bed so that she knew where it was if she wanted any.
"I just came to bring you some food, I'll go now…" I slowly stood back up and was bout to turn and leave when she gripped hold of my wrist.
"Wait!" She exclaimed. "I have to tell you something…"
Maka POV:
I began to tell her everything, I had to tell her. It was the only way that I could get this heavy weight lifted off of my shoulders. Normally I would talk to Kid about it, but his not here.
"He told me about how it feels to change…" I sighed. "Having every bone in your entire body bend and brake."
"He was the wolf at Tsubaki's party?" She questioned looking slightly worried. "You do know that their making a warning bell because of what happened!"
I slowly closed my eyes tightly. "I know…"
"We have to tell Tsubaki!" She exclaimed standing up.
I quickly pulled her back down again. "No one else can know about this!"
"But why…"
"It would kill Kid!"
We sat there in silence staring at each other. I couldn't tell anyone else, Kid would be killed. I couldn't no do anything about it, Crona would kill Kid. Either way in this situation, Kid would end up dead. We had to fight this ourselves.
Black*star POV:
I could just see my house a way in front of me. I wasn't that far away. All I had to do was run inside and lock the door behind me, then I'd be safe.
I can't hear his footsteps anymore…
Slowly building up my courage I stopped running. Clenching my fists tight by either of my sides I began to turn around to face the pink haired boy. But to my surprise as I faced away from the direction of my home, I couldn't see him.
I placed my palm against my forehead. "Maybe it was just my imagination…"
I let a slight chuckle escape my lips of relief of the sight of Crona not been able to be seen anywhere.
"Hello Black*star…" A very familiar voice said from behind me.
Startled I spun around to face the purple eyed pink haired boy I had been trying to get away from. He was standing right in front of me as clear as anything in the whole world and yet I wish I couldn't see him.
"C-Crona…" I stammered.
Suddenly I was thrown back as something pinned me down onto the pavement, it was so fast that I didn't see what it was. It snarled and bit at my face, scratching away at my skin. It was some kind of dog, it must've been, it couldn't have been anything else.
"Help!" I yelled. "Someone please help me!"
I struggled to get up as it kept pinning me back down again with its paws. Pain filled every part of my body as it continued biting at my neck and then suddenly out of the corner of my eye, I could see redness surrounding me.
My blood…
My eyesight started to go blurry and everything I could feel started to fade away, all the pain and all the bites and the blood surrounding me. Everything just went black as I realized what was attacking me.
Wolf…
Soul POV:
I watched as the wolf bit at the blue haired boys throat, trying to devour every last bit of his flesh and bone. The boy was no longer moving, he was lying completely still after five minutes of what seamed to be screaming and yelling for help.
I should've helped him, I should've ran to get help…
The wolf slowly stepped back off of the boy's body and grabbed hold of his hood with his jaw. Slowly the black furred wolf started to pull him away and off into the forest, leaving behind a long streak of the blue haired boy's blood.
