Rise of the Staff Meister

Chapter 8

Mission in Pairs:

Miley is a Staff Meister?

Miley was staring at her surroundings. Marie and Stein where just behind her. Stein noticed Miley had a habit of trying to see the top of tall things by doing the same thing that she had done on the day they had first met. She even bumped in to a local, who smiled and kept walking. Stein was thankful she had found a friendly one and not someone who would take it personally. He really didn't want to assault someone just of the plane. He still had jet-lag.

They arrived where they would be staying. Miley felt her jaw drop the place was huge! She looked around. She found a stair case. "Your room is up there." Stein told her. "There are two you can pick what everyone you like." Miley noticed something. Something that bothered her.

"There are four bedrooms. Why is that?" She asked very confused.

"Usually two teams will share one of these places. They do their mission alone be it doesn't make any since to rent two places." Marie said.

"That's true," She headed up to check the rooms out. She like the room on the left. It had bit of roof on it so she could enjoy the stars. She moved in rather quickly. She lay on the freshly made bed. She felt rather tired. She grabbed a book and started to read. She didn't realize how much time till Marie came into the room tell her it was time for dinner. Miley didn't realize how tired she really was. She began a fight with Marie.

The bigger shock to the fight was Stein sending her to her room. Miley was so shocked all she could do was obeyed. She lied in bed, she had a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach she wasn't sure what made her feel this way. She grabbed her parents' photo and sat there. She told them about what happened. "So do you think he was in the right?" She asked. The photo didn't answer.

The next morning Miley went down to breakfast. She saw Marie and didn't really know what to say. "I'm... I'm sorry about last night I didn't mean any of it, I don't know why I even said any of those things."

"Don't worry, we were all cranky from the flight, that's all." Marie said smiling. "I do appreciate the apology. Oh, morning Fraken." Miley turned around to see a rather tried Stein. He seemed to have a smile pulling at his corner of his mouth. Was because of the way Marie said his name? Did he like her? No it was more than that. Miley turned away wondering if he was going to scold her more for last night.

"Miley, Lord Death didn't give you all of the points of this mission. He thought it be easier for you to know when you got here. One less thing you have to think about on the long plane ride. We are suppose to play the part of a family on vacation."

Miley's mind went into over drive. Was she suppose to call him dad and Marie mom? She didn't know if she could handle it or not. She wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing. She sat there in silence. The night before now made more since though. Stein was just acting the part. Miley was glad she hadn't argued. She wondered what would have happened if she had. Miley wondered if Stein liked the idea. By his voice she couldn't really tell.

"You don't have to call me dad if that's what shocked you into silence." He said as he poured himself a cup of coffee. "We just have to take pictures and sight see, don't worry." They had breakfast and went sight seeing. Around eleven o'clock Stein and Marie gave each other looks, looks that made Miley wondering what she had missed.

"Miley, this is as far as you go for now." Marie said. "We have to talk to people."

"But I thought I was suppose to learn how teams worked on a mission?" Miley asked confused.

"You are, you are doing one part on your own. These people aren't the type who like extras at their meetings."

"Are you guys meeting the Mafia or something?" Miley asked. Wondering why she couldn't go. She wanted to go.

"Or something, you are to gather information around town. Pay attention there could be a quiz later. Now, go no arguing." Miley knew that was for the on lookers. She sighed and headed away. "We'll meet back at the house for dinner." He called to her retreating back.

Miley wasn't sure where to go. She had no way of asking for directions, she didn't speak a word of French. She went into a clothing store just to look around. She found a wonderful béret. She tried if on just for fun. She thought it looked nice. She found a nice skirt too. Miley knew better than to look to look at the price tags, but she did anyway. She wished she hadn't.

One of the clerks walked over to her. "Excuse me miss,"

"Oh, I was going to put everything that promise." Miley hoped the women didn't think she was a shoplifter. She wouldn't want to explain that to Stein. She shivered at the thought.

"Oh, don't worry, it just you've been paid for."

"Huh? I haven't paid for anything." Miley said. The women laughed and began to get thing together. It seemed to be an order she had filled before.

"Well, you are a very lucky girl. A woman told me, to put together a care package and also tell you that the hat was yours." The clerk said grabbing a pair of fine silk pajamas. She finished putting the package together and put it in a bag and told Miley to have a nice day. Miley found herself on the sidewalk. She blinked she had no clue what had really just happened.

She began sightseeing to make sure Stein wasn't going to test her. Miley bumped into a women who taught her how to say a few things she would need to get around Pairs. Miley used excuse me very often because of the clothes where heavy and she kept losing her balance.

She arrived back at the apartment where she was staying. She hurried inside to find Stein and Marie already waiting for her. Miley had wished she had beaten them home. The last thing she wanted to explain was how she had gotten the clothes. The béret was the first thing Marie noticed.

"Miley, that hat is lovely where did you get it." Stein looked up to see what his partner was talking about. Miley suddenly felt like she was going to end up one of her crazy professor's lab experiments, but really hoped her gut feeling was wrong.

"Just a small little shop I can't pronounce the name but I can show you where it is." She was edging toward the stairs and her room. She was hoping they wouldn't noticed the bag she was holding. But not luck, Stein raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "I think I want to shower before dinner." She said hopping that the question wouldn't be asked.

"Miley what's in the bag? You do know I'm not stupid, what are you hiding." Stein said simply.

"Well it's hard to explain I'm not sure what really happened myself." She sighed and came and sat down. She told them everything that happened when she was in the store. They listened quietly. "After that I started looking around to gather information about the area."

After that the two adults seemed happy with the explanation. Miley looked though the package it have everything! Three new outfits and even undergarments. Everything seemed to be made out of silk, she really didn't want to think how much the whole thing cost. She decided to go to bed right after dinner. She was really tired.

The next day went by without anything really happening. Stein gave Miley a map and told her to find the spots marked on it. Miley was surprised she was actually seemed to be getting a lesson out of this. She found them easily. She headed back to the apartment. She sighed and slammed her head against the kitchen table she was really tired and she didn't know why. She decided to take a nap.

She awoke to Marie shaking her. She sat up and looked around. She felt a gentle hand go to her forehead. "Are feeling alright? You look a little pale."

Miley was unsure what to say. She felt a blush run up the back of her neck. She stared for a few moments than answered. "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired that's all." She said rubbing her eyes. Marie smiled and left the room. Miley arrived down stairs for dinner. She ate quietly and headed up stairs to go back to sleep.

"I think she's getting sick Franken. She looked really pale and barely ate anything." Marie said sitting down next to her partner.

"If she is, let her just sleep it off she'll feel better. We have to find that killer soon Marie, it will be better if she doesn't notice we've been gone all night." Stein said. They headed out and left Miley asleep. Miley awoke to find the house empty. She was to tired to get back up stairs so she fell sleep on the couch.

Stein and Marie found Miley on the couch, she was curled up in a ball. Marie put a blanket on her. Miley rolled off the couch, with a thump. She sat up and heard. "Feeling better?" came a very sarcastic remark from above her. Her vision cleared and Stein came into view. "You had us really worried when we got home." Did he say we? She must just not be awake all the way.

"Yeah, much. Sorry where did you go last night?" She asked. She stood up. She blinked and realized she was in the living room. She didn't remember getting there, then she remembered. "So what's on today's agenda?" She asked.

"Well, where we went doesn't matter. Not your mission not your business. You're going to do similar what you did yesterday." He handed her a map. "There is one place marked. You have to find your way there. Try not to get lost. Be there by lunch time or you'll have to redo till you make it one time." Miley sighed and took knowing there was no point to argue.

Well Miley did get lost, and was an hour late. She sighed. She would have to try again. She spent the most of the day sulking at her failure. She did it till Stein smacked her on the back of the head. She promised herself she would do better.

She made it on time the second time. Miley said down with the two adults and had lunch. She was enjoying herself when a waiter came over and sat a wonderful parfait in front of her. Miley stared at the waiter. She hadn't ordered it. "There was a young man who ordered if for you."

Stein was trying to figure out who the well wisher was. He looked around and couldn't even began to think who it might be. Marie seemed to know what he was doing and placed her hand on his arm. He like the feeling of her hand on his arm. She leaned over and muttered. "You won't be able to find him Franken. If the boy wanted to be seen he would have shown himself."

Miley looked at her professors and she felt like a third wheel. She wondered what she had missed. The only thing she did notice was Marie was the only one who could keep Stein calm. She took a bite of the parfait. She couldn't believe how good it tasted. She did every bit of it.

That night Miley stayed up till midnight reading. She wasn't tired at all. She hope that none of the adults noticed what she was doing. The next morning Miley discovered not only had the adults felt after she went up to her room. It seemed that they hadn't returned either. She started looking around to find a clue of where they might have gone. Miley knew she would have to go into dangerous waters. She slowly opened Stein's bed room door.

On his desk she found a map. It had a large red circle around a warehouse. Miley was glad Stein had taught her how to follow maps even though she still wasn't very good at it. She began to wonder around trying to match streets names. Miley discovered that she took a left when she should have taken a right.

Now she was lost. She wouldn't be able to get back to the apartment. She began to panic. She found someone to ask for help. The biggest problem was the man didn't speak a word of English and Miley only spoke five words of French. So Miley wasted twenty minutes instead of looking for the warehouse. She was frustrated and panicked. She sat down and slammed her head against her knee.

She stood up. Her parents wouldn't want her to cry like a baby. She wiped her eyes. She wouldn't be going anyone any good. She took a deep breath and looked at the name of the street. She looked at the map. She sighed and headed off. She finally found the warehouse. She went inside and much to her dismay it was empty. It looked like there had been a fight.

She found the stairs that went to the roof. On the roof the noise of a fight reached her ears. She hurried over to the edge. She saw Stein swing a round a hammer. She knew that the hammer was Marie. She just stared it was all she could do really. She was a meister without a weapon. She bit down on to her lip. It started to bleed. She just stood there feeling something built in her chest. She heard something behind her.

She turned around to see a boy. He looked to be about the same age as her. He had light brown hair and lovely blue eyes. He was about a head taller than she was. He had a look of confusion that seemed echo deeply in his mind. "What's going on?" He asked his voice was light and gentle and it made Miley's ear drums tingle. She continued to stand there.

"A fight, my professor is down there I can't do a thing to help him." She told the boy, Miley was upset and hated being the predicament that she was in. The boy came over and peered over the edge.

"Why can't you help your professor are you afraid of heights or something?" He asked rather confused. "I'm guess your professor is the one with the hammer right." Miley nodded. "So he's a meister then, and so are you?" He questioned he almost sounded hopeful.

"Yes, I'm a meister without a weapon." She said bitterly.

"That's wonderful! I happen to be a weapon without a meister!" He said moving closer to her.

"No you don't understand my soul is..." She never got to finish her sentence, the boy turned into a weapon. He fit perfectly in her palm right over the burn that she had been given by Excalibur. She jumped over the edge. She soared though the air.

Stein looked up. He could see someone flying though the air. He watched the figure fly though the air. It not only distract him but his opponents as well. He was able to to make a final blow to the leader. He turned to see Miley. She was swing what looked like a staff around. She was actually able to hit someone. The rest of the gang took off/

Miley staggered and her weapon caught her. His look of shock was priceless. He looked at Stein who was just standing there. "Is she okay!" The boy said. "This isn't normal!"

"Calm down, its normal for Miley. Her body can't handle coming down from an adrenaline rush. She passes out, image it like a forced restart for her brain." Stein said pulling out a cigarette. "All she needs is a little rest."

"Her name is Miley?"

"Well we established that what's yours?"

Ohh! Cliffhanger! What will happen next? Well you have met Miley's Weapon but you'll have to wait to find out his name. Lets give a shout out for the review for chapter 7 : … well I guess there are none... awkward... alright tell me what to think? I hope you enjoy the story ^^
