(Raven)

I jumped awake and when I woke up I was in a strange place by myself and a few people were walking in.

"Where am I!?"

I panicked.

"Calm down it's okay."

A voice above me said.

"How did I get here what did I do!?"

I panicked and spun around to see Kid.

"Your brother brought you to class so you wouldn't be late don't worry you didn't do anything."

He said.

"Oh okay."

I said trying to calm down.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. "

I closed my eyes and counted which made me calm down.

"Is that a calming technique?"

He asked.

"Y-yes I was taught by the n- I mean someone to count to calm yourself down."

I said stopping myself from saying nurse.

"I see you only count up to 8 why is that?"

He smiled a little as he asked.

"Because 8 is a good number it's my favorite also."

I said looking down.

"Really your favorite number is 8 mine too!"

He beamed.

"Um yeah."

I said looking down.

"8 is such a great and symmetrical number oh how I love 8."

He sighed like if 8 was the best thing in the world.

"Why do you like 8?"

He asked.

"Because when I was eight books were admitted into the a-orphanage and I learned about the outside world."

I lied about being in an orphanage since I didn't want him to know I was in a insane asylum.

"Oh I see."

He said.

"Wooooooh!"

I heard a yell then a blurry figure flew through the room and landed on the floor.

"Omg."

I gasped.

"Hello class today we will be dissecting this!"

The man on the floor had a screw in his head pulled the sheets off of a fish bowl, he wore a lab coat which reminded me of the doctor's which made me shiver.

"A Chinchilla!"

He laughed and held the fury white creature by the neck.

I sat down in my seat concerned for the chinchilla then he sliced its neck and blood poured everywhere.

"Dang he cut its neck!"

Nightmare gasped.

"Omg."

I gasped.

I watching in horror as he ripped the fury creature apart then put it back together it reminded me of when I saw the blue lady shredded up in that lab that day.

"Ha that looks like when I rip people up!"

Nightmare laughed.

"Please don't mention that now."

I whimpered.

"Sorry."

He said.

Class finished then it was time for fighting drills in PE with our teacher Sid.

"Okay now transform your weapons."

Sid said.

"I-I can't."

I mumbled.

"dont worry just do it."

Nightmare said.

I was scared but I let him transform into his full blade.

It was a long double sword staff that was almost as long as me and it was jet black with the galaxy pattern moving through.

"Wow."

I heard the other students say which made me nervous that all the attention was on us.

"Maka why don't you help Raven since scythe moves are similar to staff moves."

Sid said.

"It's a Swallow Sir, that's what they called them in the middle ages."

Maka said.

"Y-yeah a Swallow."

Sid repeated.

"Okay I'm gonna teach you the basics."

Maka smiled.

"O-okay. "

I nodded and looked at Nightmare who was in weapon form I couldn't see him like how Maka could see Soul but I could see Nightmare's dark green galaxy eyes through the galaxy.

"This is a strike and I want you to block."

Maka said striking me gently and I blocked it.

"Good now strike me and I'll block okay?"

She smiled.

I stuck with the front then swung the back under and almost hit her but she blocked it.

"Good!"

Maka beamed.

"Wait for her to strike you then let your blood spill."

Nightmare suggested.

"No we're only practicing."

I said.

"Okay let's try to up the speed okay?"

Maka said striking faster and I blocked although if it hit me I wouldn't feel anything.

"Good."

Maka smiled.

She got faster with every strike then she hit me in the stomach with the back of her scythe then she cut my arm with the tip then I let the blood spill.

"Ah good job so far."

She huffed and forgot about the black blood so I urged it to strike.

"Maka!"

Soul warned and she jumped back before the blood turned into a bear trap and snapped.

"Haha good one."

Maka smiled and the blood liquefied again.

"Maka has she learned enough?"

Sid asked walking over.

"she's a fast learner why?"

She asked.

"So you can battle her."

Sid said.

"Oh okay."

Maka nodded.

"Test her skills so we can see where she's at."

Sid said.

"Um..."

I looked down.

"I should take over!"

Nightmare whined.

"No you stay there for now."

I said.

"Fine."

He sighed.
