Stranger
Death the Kid POV:
Dragging the huge, thick, branch along the snowy ground behind her she moved so slowly, taking longer to take each step as she moved ever so creepily towards Medusa, her grasp getting tighter and tighter around the branch.
"What are you gonna do with that?" Medusa smirked folding her arms across her chest.
Maka stopped as she stood two feet away from the amber eyed women. "What should've been done a long time ago."
The little green eyed girl raised the branch slowly above her head as if it were the lightest thing in the world.
"Stay away!" Medusa threw herself towards Maka pushing her to the ground.
Quickly Medusa spun around and darted off between trees running from the little green eyed girl, running as fast as she ever could.
"Medusa!" The tall black haired girl screamed at the top of her lungs and darted off after her.
The blue haired boy slowly rose from the ground, pulling the small blonde up with him and they followed, running of after them, all of them chasing after Medusa.
The red eyed white furred wolf stared at all the wolves around him and every one of them slowly nodded their heads forward and with no hesitation they all leapt off through the bushes, joining the chase.
Maka sat there still holding the branch staring at the empty space where Medusa was once standing and then, just like the others she too stood up slowly, but she didn't run, she just simply walked off into the same direction everyone else had ran in.
That's not Maka…
I bowed my head towards the ground and took in a big deep sigh closing my eyes. I reopened my eyes and stared down at Liz's body that was lying just a few feet away from me, and then slowly my eyes came across the bloody blade, that Medusa had dropped.
Tsubaki POV:
I could see the amber eyed women running away in front of me, she was so fast it was impossible for me to catch up with her, but that wasn't going to stop me.
"Medusa!" I screamed once again trying to speed up my pace, my feet slamming against the ground. "Get back here!"
I could hear the others running their fastest along behind me, also trying to catch the women that had killed my best friend, and I swear to god, we were never going to let her get away with that.
My legs started to run faster, causing me to get closer, and as I reached out my hand I could feel the strands of her hair brush against my fingertips, flowing against my skin.
MEDUSA!
I leapt out in front of me and threw my arms around the women's waist, tackling her to the ground, pulling her down in her tracks.
"Get off me!" She yelped as we both hit the snowy hard ground.
It took every ounce of her strength to throw me off of her, to pull my arms from around her waist and quickly escape from my grasp.
I couldn't hold back my anger anymore, before I even realized what I was doing my fist was raised by the side of my head and was thrown into Medusa's chest forcing her backwards into a tree, knocking her head.
"Tsubaki!" Patty yelled from behind me.
Patty POV:
Quickly Tsubaki stepped aside and as she did I ran towards Medusa and aimed a punch so powerful at her face, smashing my fist right into her nose.
"Aa!" She groaned grabbing hold of her face. "Bitch!"
As the amber eyed women stepped forward to attack me I was thrown aside as Black*star stood to defend me, making sure that he wasn't standing in the moonlight.
"I know your weakness." Medusa chuckled staring deeply into Black*stars eyes. "Woof…"
She threw him backwards, causing him to step out of the shade and to be revealed into the moonlight, every part of his skin lighting up.
Black*star POV:
I could feel the wolf inside my dwelling up every second, wanting to be let out, be free, show its true powers by changing my form, but I wouldn't let it, I just couldn't let it. I held it down.
Suddenly just like before, wolves were everywhere, running round in circles. Circling Medusa and bowing their heads in front of me, as I slowly started to shake rapidly, getting faster and faster.
Soul, the red eyed white furred wolf, stepped out of the bushes and stood directly in front of me, and stared up at Medusa, showing no fear, only anger.
"You all want to kill me, well come on then!" Medusa shrieked. "Give it your best shot!"
"MEDUSA!"
Suddenly a huge thick branch was swung round towards the back of Medusa's head, knocking her to the ground in front of us. She fell to the floor once again and landed on her knees, blood streaming down the side of her face.
"Maka!" Patty exclaimed.
Maka POV:
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't control myself, I swung at her hitting her body with the huge branch over and over again, watching her blood run everywhere. The branch hit her body over and over again, I couldn't stop it, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop it.
"Die!" I screamed hitting the amber eyed women. "Just die!"
As Medusa coughed, blood ran down her chin and joined in with the blood that was streaming down her face, blood everywhere.
Her blood stained my face, my clothes, my hands, her blood covered my body.
"Blood that isn't yours…"
I dropped the bloody branch, letting it hit the ground and stain the snow with complete redness, little round circles of blood covering the snow.
My eyes widened and my chest heart as I remembered the night that Kid had told me about what it was like to be a wolf, the pain I had felt that night was back again, and the pain I had felt the day after came running back.
Medusa lay there in her blood, quivering slightly. Her bloodshot eyes met mine, staring up at me in sorrow, as if she were trying to say she were sorrow.
I hissed. "Don't you dare look at me like that."
She continued to stare at me as if she had done nothing wrong, like she couldn't remember.
"Maka…" She murmured.
"Shut up."
She shut up, laying there in silence, the sound of only the wind against the trees, in my ears, through my hair, against my face.
"She loved you…" She mumbled underneath her breath. "Your mother… she loved you."
My heart broke in a split second. No one had told me that before, they spoke about my mother, but no one had ever told me that she loved me. It made me feel… happy.
"Don't listen to her Maka!" I heard Kid yell from behind me. "Don't let her get to you!"
I stammered. "S-She loved me…"
The amber eyed women smiled. "She still does…"
Maybe that's why I was feeling so alone all this time, maybe the reason I couldn't be myself was because I didn't believe. I didn't believe that my mother loved me, I just couldn't believe, but now I'm different.
"Maka, she's lying!" Kid yelled again trying to run to me.
Slowly Medusa reached her hand out towards me. "Help me up, I'll tell you everything about your mother that you want to know."
Carefully, I placed my hand on top of hers, half expecting her to do something, but she didn't, so I pulled her up.
"Maka!"
The bloodshot, amber eyed women stood in front of me staring back at me. "You have her eyes."
I smiled. "My dad told me I got them from her, I didn't believe him."
She nodded. "They're exactly the same."
I sniffed as I felt a few tears dripping onto my chin. "Was she pretty?"
"Listen to Kid!" Black*star yelled from beside me. "Maka, snap out of it!"
"She was very pretty." Medusa took a step closer towards me. "Just like her daughter."
"Maka!" Patty yelled. "Are you really buying this?"
I could feel myself moving from side to side, thinking of my mother like this was just too much, no one had ever told me this about my mother, it was so different.
"You could see your mother again, you know?" Medusa took another step.
I raised an eyebrow. "I could?"
Slowly she nodded. "You just have to trust me."
"Maka don't!" The golden eyed wolf boy tried his hardest to bush past the wolves, without tripping over the roots of the trees. "She's lying! God dammit girl, why can't you see she's lying?"
"Maka!" The voice of my father escaped the mouth of the wolf. "Your mother is dead, Medusa killed her, stop!"
I could hear their voices, but no matter how hard I tried to listen, I just couldn't understand the words they were saying, the only one who's voice was as clear as anything was Medusa's, as she spoke to me, about my mother.
"Would you like to see your mother again?" Slowly the amber eyed women reached her bloody finger tips out in front of me and brushed them against my cheek. "I think I already know the answer."
As I felt her touch my skin a shiver was sent up my spine. "Yes."
"No!" Tsubaki screamed gripping hold of my wrist. "She is dead Maka!"
Once again Medusa took another step, then another and another. She carried on stepping towards me until she was standing an inch away from my face, breathing against my skin, heating up my cheeks.
Death the Kid POV:
As Medusa slowly wrapped her arms around the girl I was in love with, my heart raced in my chest as I was brought back to the night I was changed, changed into the monster that I am. It was in the exact same way.
"Stop!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as I managed to slide out from behind the wolves. "Maka!"
Everything was like it was going in slow motion. I was running as fast as I could towards Maka and Medusa, trying to pull the girl I longed to be with away from the evil women that wrecked me.
Maka POV:
Medusa pulled me close into a tight hug and as she did I dropped my wrist from Tsubaki's grasp as if she was forced to let go.
The amber eyed women placed her lips to my ear. "This will all be over soon.
She moved her lips away from my ear and placed them against my neck, and slowly I felt her lips part and her mouth open, catching my flesh between her teeth, and that's when I realized everything that was happening.
"Maka!"
Black*star POV:
There was blood everywhere. It ran down their arms, and in ran down their legs, staining their faces and their clothes. It dripped off of their skin and fell to the ground, landing against the soft snow, for the last time the ground was stained with blood.
Maka's bloodshot eyes widened as the blood was all that she could feel, all that she could see, when she realized that it was everywhere.
Softly Medusa gasped, her breath being drawn away from her mouth. Slowly she moved her lips away from Maka's neck leaving it completely bite free.
Death the Kid POV:
As Medusa stepped back more blood gushed out from the stab wound I had made in the middle of her stomach with the blade that she had once dropped and left behind after stabbing Liz.
Maka stammered. "K-Kid…"
Slowly Medusa stepped back again and gripped hold of the blade handle that was sticking out of her body, covered in blood and dirt.
Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but only a tiny gasp of air escaped from her lips, nothing else.
Everyone watched in horror as the amber eyed women fell to her knees in the snow, blood running from her lips, her nose and the gushing wound in her stomach.
Maka's eyes closed as she fell backwards into my arms, tired and exhausted from the lack of sleep, lack of food, lack of everything. But it was all over now.
We all watched as Medusa fell on the ground lying in a puddle of her own blood. Her bloody eyes staring right at us, right at me, right at Maka.
She quivered as she slowly reached her hand out towards me, as if she was asking for help, asking for another chance. But then, her body fell limp. Her eyes still staring in my direction.
I closed my eyes and let out a long deep sigh as I tilted my head down. I reopened my eyes once again and noticed Maka's sleeping little face in my arms, and the pressure of the emotion cause me to fall to my knees.
A tear ran down the side of my face and down to my chin as I smiled. "I love you, Maka…"
