A/N Hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter, i think it was pretty good (see where i'm going here) but what do you think? please review!

I didn't need to open my eyes to know where i was, I hadn't counted on Steins ability to sense soul wavelengths and he knew mine better than anyone. Of course he would be able to find me, one fact remained that he still thought that there was a witch posessing me...

i opened my eyes slowly, allowing the stark white light of the patchwork lab to filter in. Just seeing the stitched walls made me want to turn back time so i wasn't a witch. The thought of being seen as the enemy made my blood run cold.

I had two choices:

a) attempt to escape before anything happened

b) give up and let myself be taken back to the Academy

I liked the idea of a) more, although all i had done for two years was run, i didnt like the idea of another interrogation. And so i started to get up, preparing a plan for escape in my head.

"This isn't like you, Electra, as i remember you were never one for cowardly moves like running away"

"Things have changed,"

"You've gotten stronger, no ordinary Academy student could survive an interrogation like that"

"I'm not an Academy student, If i was, then i wouldn't have had to survive that interrogation" i replied coldly "As far as i can remember it was you who signed me up for that."

"I had to make sure that a witch wasn't posessing you, please Electra, you have to understand that i didn't want for you to get hurt, i care about you too much"

"what a strange way to show it..."

It was a long time before Stein replied,

"What happened, Electra? After you were sent to collect the soul of that witch, we lost all contact with you... it was like you'd just evaporated. Then you, by some miracle, turn up a couple of years later in the last known location of the witch you were sent to kill. You can't blame me for being cautious." Stein had raised his voice slightly, i flinched at his words, he was suspicious of his own weapon partner?

"I have Witches Blood, I was an experiment of another witch. When you found me i was being posessed but i somehow managed to stop her before i..." i stopped myself before i spoke the words, i couldn't bear to think it, let alone say it.

Stein turned to leave, over his shoulder he said "Lord Death says that you are to stay here until your injuries are fully healed, then you can decide what you want to do next."

Wait, what injuries? I remembered being sliced by that meisters witchhunter, but what other injuries. Lokking down at my bare arms and legs, i saw that i was covered in cuts and bruises and my normal clothes had been replaced with a white hospital gown.

After a few minutes of staring at the ceiling, bored out of my mind, i heard a familiar voice squeal my name and Marie had grabbed me in a bone-crushing hug.

"Marie, what gives? are you trying to kill me?"

"Where have you been? When i heard that you'd turned up again i..."

"who told you?"

"Stein, of course!"

Making a mental note to show Stein how much Marie's hugs hurt i started filling Marie in on the last two years.

"He missed you, you know, Electra, everyone did..."

"Who?"

"Stein, He only did what his orders were."

After Marie left, i realised that she was right. Most of the time i had a heart of stone, probably because i had Stein as a partner, but at that point i really felt guilty for yelling art him...
