I do not own soul eater...

Rise of the Staff Meister

Chapter 16

Miley's Secret:

Her soul is like a pond?

"Miley, seems to somehow gone inside of herself." Stein said to the room at large. Lord Death, Death Scythe, Marie, Maka and her group, Mason was still lying in the other bed.

"You don't seemed very surprised about that Stein." Death Scythe said.

"Yes, well Miley's been threatening to do it all year. Not openly her, soul wavelength has always been out of the ordinary. The only thing I'm worried about is someone may have to go in and get her."

"That's no big deal, Franken, I'll go get her." Marie reached over to touch Miley. Stein quickly grabbed her arm.

"Marie, you're a weapon, Miley doesn't do well with weapons expect her own."

"Then why don't I go get her? I am her weapon." Mason said sitting up in bed. He flinched as he repositioned himself.

"That's why, you're not strong enough."

"The way that she is, could be doing damage to her?" Lord Death asked. Stein ran his fingers though his hair. He really need a cigarette, but he didn't dare smoke in there.

"I don't know, if it is like when I went insane it could be, but all I have are theories. I'm even really sure what caused it to happen let alone how to fix it."

"Couldn't you go in an get her?" Maka perked up. "You can match souls with anyone right? Why don't you go bring out Professor?"

"Again, I don't even know if Miley wants to come out. I'm also afraid if I would do damage going in." After this comment a cold feeling fell on the room. "I need to think on it some more, maybe I can find something similar." A few hours later he came back. He looked at Miley, if he hadn't know any better he would have thought she was sleeping, but he knew better.

"Did you find anything?" Mason asked from his bed, he didn't move this time.

"No," Stein said. "Did you think I would?" Mason shook his head. "I can give Miley one thing, she is diffidently one of a kind. I've seen anything like it. Nor has anyone else for that matter. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not used to not being able to find an answer."

"You said if it's like you going insane there is going to be damage. What kind of damage?"

"Memory loss mostly. But don't worry it won't been as bad as mine, I was gone for almost a two months I think. Miley will be gone a week at the most. She may lose some of her childhood but from what I can tell of Miley's childhood it won't be to missed."

"I think you should go in." Mason said strongly.

"It would be a really big risk." Stein said.

"So wasn't fighting Medusa but she did it anyway." Mason pointed out.

"I'll give her three days, if she's not back by then, I'll go in and get her."

"Thank you, she was wrong about you," He said, reaching for something on his bedside table. "She said you don't pick favorites."

"And she's right, favorites pick me. What are you looking for?" the insane Professor asked.

"My key, I was going to ask you to pick something up if you didn't mind." He said reaching for it. Stein walked around the bed and picked them up and put them in his pocket. "Thanks, could you get the picture of her parents. It's sitting on her bedside table. Maybe she'll come back if she knows they are waiting for her."

Stein opened the door to the apartment. He had been her before. Miley lived alone and books had been all over the place. Mason seemed to have taught Miley to pick up after herself better. He found the picture. He frowned it was so old. Miley didn't look any older than three in the picture. Stein wondered if they had died for nothing. No one knew which secret the witches wanted. He headed back to the school.

Three days later Miley still showed no signs of waking up. Stein sighed. He wasn't going to break his promise to Mason he just hoped that it didn't destroy Miley. He placed hand over her eyes. He took a deep breath, he felt wet grass under his cheek. He stood up. He was in the middle of a field. There was a beaten path like someone walked it every day. He followed hoping he was going the right way. Soon he came upon a small pond. Sitting on a wall her feet dangling over the just above the water was Miley.

She seemed to be in tact. She looked up at him. Her eyes where red and puffy. He could tell she had been crying though he couldn't image why. Miley quickly looked away and started rubbing her eyes, trying to hide the evidence. He came and sat down Indian style. If he sat the way she did he would have been up to his ankles in water. He had never noticed how small she was.

"How ddid you get here?" She asked rather shocked.

"I can match my soul's wavelength with anyone I chose. That means even yours when needed. Why have you been crying?"

"I've been here before. I was four the last time it happened, it was just after my parents died. I was in a coma for a whole year. It took me that long how to get out of here. Now that I'm back here I can't remember how I got back last time." She sniffed.

"Wouldn't it make since to just follow the path?"

"It's dark, and I'm scared. I not sure if it is the right way for not. If it's not what will happen."

"You'll just have to take a chance, you did when you faced Medusa, why not now."

"I had Mason with me then, I don't want to go alone. I hate going any where alone." Miley didn't know what that one sentence did for Stein. It explained everything. Everything about Miley he was never able to understand.

"You aren't alone Miley, I'm going with you." She looked at him. "Do you think I'm going to stay here."

"I guess not," she muttered. "I still don't know if it's the right way."

"Don't worry I think it is." He was right, as Miley made to the top of the hill she knew she would wake up when she got to the bottom. When she opened her eyes. She saw Stein's close and him fall to the ground.

"Professor Stein!" She screamed.

Stein looked around, he wasn't sure where he was. Then all of a sudden he knew. He had gone there so often looking for Miley. There she was standing the wall. He wondered if the Pond had been all a dream. "Miley, get down from there." Miley pay him any attention. She stuck her foot over the edge like she was just going to walk off the edge. "Miley what the hell are you doing." When went to grab her arm but someone else go to her first. It was a younger version of himself.

"If it's about being here at the academy just quit. It would be a waste of a life to jump over that." The younger Stein said. They girl who the older Stein though was Miley turned, everything about her was Miley but the eye color. They where the deepest gray he had ever seen. The girl stepped down from the wall. "It's like a care or any of my business it would still be a waste."

"Thank you, I'm Sara." She held out her hand. "Your name is Franken right?" Younger Stein nodded. "You're a couple years head of me if I remember right." The younger Stein nodded again.

He was taken though several of these memories. He was getting some on his old memories back. Why he wasn't sure. Somehow and someway. They where all of Miley's mother Sara. He wasn't really sure if they where school friends or not. He would have to ask Marie. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was now in the bed, not that he remembered how he had gotten there. He heard moment in the next bed before he could say anything Miley was sitting up and then doubled over.

"You forgot about your stitches. Let me see." She lay back down with a bit of a cry. She had ruined the bed sheets. A few minutes later he had then back together. "Now, lay down and do sit up till you are told. I'm not closing you up again. Next time you can bleed to death." Miley muttered something that Stein didn't hear. It would take a full week for Miley to fully recover.

Alright next chapter is the last one. What will happen after Miley is fully recovered? Wow I can't believe I've really have finished a fan fiction. Alright shout out to reviewers: sry guys I didn't really give you time to. Well tell me what you think!
