Maka's POV:
"Welcome to the Black Dragon."
Oh no. I knew it, but how. This cant be true. Just this morning I was on my way to school, I even still have my school uniform on. It was a sailor themed outfit only now it was torn and dirty. Now I'm on the ship that is a tale of horror back home after being kidnaped by a crazy lady and her crew. What's next?
"Its time to take the Soul Test."
I look back up to the white haired captains face. He gave me a wicked smile that sent shivers down my spine. I couldn't help words slipping from my mouth, I regret saying it.
"Soul Test?"
His smile just grew wider. How was it even possible?
"Yes. It is a test to see what will become of you." I swallowed hard. He continued. "It is a test were one will look into your very soul and find if you are guilty of a wicked heart or soul or not."
"What happens after the trial?" Why? Why couldn't I shut up.
"If you pass the test, you are given the choice to either join my crew or leave and go home." He said this simply his face relaxed.
"And if someone was to fail?" His face twisted back into a smile and turns his back on me.
"If you fail... Lets just say it all depends on how wicked you are." He turns back to face me. His crazed smile still on his face." And... on what kind of a mood she is in."
"She?"
"Hm. You have heard the rumors of this ship correct?"
"Sh-She? who's she." I asked again.
he ignored my question and turned to address the crowed.
"Are you all ready for the Test!" He said this loudly and with outstretched hands. Everyone shouted their answer and pumped their fists in the air. The captain Soul Eater turned to look at me again. He gave me a sly smile. The crowd grew quiet and Soul Eater snapped his fingers together. Then silence. It was so silent you could hear a pen drop.
I began to hear something. It sounded like clicking. Like when and animals claws softly hit a tiled floor. Then a soft snarl. I began to shake in fear. The clicks and snarling hisses became louder and the crowd began to part from were the captain was standing. My shaking stopped and I froze, holding in a gasp. There creeping towards me its sharp teeth drawn back in a wicked snarl, was a giant pure white wolf. It was huge. At least three grown men could fit on its back. The wolf had the color of freshly spilled blood, the pupils were slit much like a lizards. But that wasn't what caught my attention. It was what was attached to its sides. Wings. Black and red wings with a blade attached to each. Razor wings.
It was a foot from my face when it lifted its head, towering over me and stretched out its wings to there full length. They nearly left me in the dark. It snarled and opened its mouth ready to strike. My eyes stretched wide then shut tightly. I lifted my hands in instinctual defense. I was going to die. Why? Why did it come to this? I was prepared for large teeth to sink into my skin. But it never came. The snarling stopped too. I Started to lower my hands but stopped and stiffened mid way when something heavy rested on my lap.
I Opened my eyes to find the head of the beast that threatened my life lying on my lap. It looked at me with soft red eyes filled with emotions that weren't there before. It pocked its nose gently into my stomach and began to whimper. I looked at the rest of its body and saw that it was sprawled all over the ground. I red about this form of display among wolves. It was a display of respect between a lower level wolf and that of higher rank. She was in a submissive form. She was submitting to me.
She whimpered again and I slowly lowered my hands and gently placed them on her head. The spikey looking white hair was actually incredibly soft. I pet her head. Something about this felt familiar. I then realized that we weren't alone and looked up to see all eyes were on me. I looked at the captain who's face was twisted in both surprise and disbelief. It was kind of funny. He shook his head and gave an expressionless look before speaking. The wolf was now laying in a regular position and lifted its head to hear, looking directly at Soul Eater.
"It seems that Arow has deemed her worthy of making her own choice." He addressed the crowd. I looked up at the wolf who's head was towering above mine. She tilted her head to like me in the eye. She smiled and gave me a wolfish grin, one filled with joy and mischief. All this seemed familiar somehow, but thinking about it would only cause me to get a headache, so pushed it aside for now.
"So." I snapped out of my daze and looked at the addresser. Soul Eater. I was surprised for a second, his eyes looked almost nervous. "What will it be?"
I thought for a moment. Everything here felt so familiar. And the wolf... Arow, she looked as though she knew something, something important. I looked at the crowd to see that they all changed. The once mean, evil, malicious looking faces turned into hopeful, exited, and even begging ones. I wonder. Is it possible that I could find out something from my past by staying here. My mind was set and I looked at the captain without fear, determination written on my face.
"I'm staying."
Soul's POV:
No. No. No. This wasn't supposed to happen. She wasn't supposed to join us!
I was walking down the hall, one of many, in search of a certain someone. The Soul Test was over. Maka was staying and everyone was happy to see her again. I would have been to, if it wasn't for the circumstances. No one was to tell her about our... unique abilities. The only odd thing she was aloud to know about were Arow and the monsters. She was not aloud to know about our old connections to her either. That was made clear and I made Tsubaki, Kim, and Jackie go and prepare Maka's old room. Everything that had anything to do with the... supernatural or any hints to her old life such as pictures or letters were to be sent straight to my room. Her old cloths were still there and she hadn't changed much other then the fact that she grew her hair out, so they were sure to fit just fine.
I rounded the corner and my mind began to wander. It was when she turned fifteen that she began to change. She got taller, though, not as tall as me, her head stops about to my nose. Her legs were long and slender. Her chest grew the perfect size. Not big but not small either. her whole form became slender. Her hair, a beautiful dirty blond. Now it was longer so it looked even better, complementing her facial features well. Her eyes. They hadn't changed at all. Not from back then. Not when she lost her memories, and not now. They were still a gorgeous emerald color that captivated me with every glance. I missed her. When she fought or became serious she would become mature and strong. Sometimes she would be ruthless when facing a challenge, taking it down tactically. She was funny and sweet. But when she would pout of make a face she still reminded me of a child. Super cute.
AHH. What am I doing. I cant be thinking of such things. I need to find- speak of the devil. There she was. Walking in the halls as though nothing was wrong. She was coming my was. When she nearly passed me I grabbed her arm and slammed her in the wall. This surprised me for a moment, she normally puts up far more resistance. I've never been able to get a grab at her, it almost scared me knowing she was letting this happen. I looked into her eyes. She was straight faced. Expressionless. She was in control. I Growled and shook it off, looking her right in the eyes as I kept her trapped between the wall and my arms. No one was in the hall to interrupt us.
"What the heck was that out there!? Why would you do that!? We had a plan! Everything was going so smoothly, the acting, all of it was going perfectly until you ruined it!" while I spoke her head was down. I couldn't see her eyes through her spiky bangs.
She carried a lot of my traits in this dimension. She said that when she first came to this dimension that her powers sought DNA in order for her to adapt to this place and choose mine. She also said her abilities were very limited here and she can only do about five percent of what she can in her own dimension. It kind of scares me knowing she is capable of some of the things she has shown me though her memory sharing.
She looked a lot like me here. She is the same size as me. She has long but untamed silver white hair and blood red eyes. Her pupils will occasionally change depending on her emotions, this is probably the cause of her dragon half. She also happened to have my signature shark teeth. The only difference is that her canines were slightly larger because of her wolf half. She had tan skin and long legs. And yeah she had a chest. Not as big as Tsubaki's or Liz or Patty's, but slightly bigger then Maka's. She seemed to have a thing for black. Torn black skinny jeans with black combat boots that had chains around them. Her jeans also has silver chains hanging around her hips. One chain had soul tag hanging on it. She had a tight red t-shirt on and a tight long sleeve leather jacket that stopped to the upper part of her stomach. She had a chocker on that had a red and black zigzag pattern on it. Like our scythes. She also wore red earrings and a black headband. She had bangs that spiked out like mine. She also still had that brace and chain on her left arm still.
Her head was still down. She wasn't going to answer me. I growled again.
"Tsk. Arow that was so not cool! How can I trust you now." I saw her flinch. I continued. "You prom-"
"Stop. Don't even go there. Excuse me! I don't remember making such promises." She looked at me, her eyes slightly slit and her finger pointing at me. I pushed it away and returned the gesture.
"You said-"
"Said what. What did I say Soul. I Said I would think about it. Never did the word promise come out of my mouth."
"You didn't even think about it though did you?"
"There was nothing to think about."
"What are you talking about?"
"Soul think. Her being back, you should be happy."
"No. You think for a moment. What if she gets hurt again."
"We wont allow it. None of us will Soul." We were shouting before but she became quieter. I shook my head.
"But its a possibility. That is a chance I am not willing to take."
"Soul... We should tell her about this. About all of us, what we do. Maybe then-"
"No. No way. I'm not taking any chance." I turned. We were in the center of the hallway now. I Looked at Arow again, she looked agitated, her fists clenched at her sides.
"What is your problem? You think your the only one going through? The only one that is hurting? We all missed her! She's like family to me. You know how important family is to me. This is a fresh start. If you had amnesia Maka would have done anything to get your memories back."
"I know... But that doesn't change anything."
"What?! Why-"
"Because. Its none of your business. Now if your excuse me. I need to change her mind." I began to walk away when I was stopped. Her hand held firm around my wrist.
"Don't do it."
"Do what?"
"You now what stupid. I can read your mind remember. I know how your planning to get rid of her and I'm telling you that's not the way to go."
"Don't go into my head without permission." I yanked my arm away.
"Soul. If you do this I will stop you."
"As your captain I'm ordering you. Do NOT interfere." I stormed off leaving her behind.
I remember that Maka was taken to the cafeteria to get something to eat. She said she hadn't eaten all day. I went down the hall that lead to the café and spotted her. I honestly wanted to listen to Arow's words but this had to be done. She was in the hall alone. She looked up and spotted me. She looked nervous, maybe weary of me, and now, I was just about to make it worse.
She was about to say something when I grabbed her wrist and pulled her down another hallway. She was protesting but I ignored her. Once I knew we would be alone I pushed her against the wall, trapped her between my arms, and before she could utter a single word, smashed my lips onto hers. My eyes were sealed tight, I didn't want to see her pained face. There was no love in this kiss and I hated it. But if this ment protecting her so be it. Even if it ment she would hate me in the end. I could imagine the shock and fear in her eyes now. She was struggling so I held onto her wrists to kept her from escaping.
Suddenly my lips were no longer on hers and the back of my head was met with the opposite wall. I opened my eyes only to see a fist flying towards me and nocking me to the ground. I look up to see a vary ticked of Arow griping her wrist to restrain herself and a vary terrified Maka right behind her. I look back at Arow. She was looking at her wrist. She didn't hit me as hard as she could have.
"You should already know Soul." She turned to look at me. "I don't take orders well."
She turned and looked at Maka and gently grabbed her wrists to inspect them and then looked back at Maka.
"Come with me, I'll get you treated" Maka nodded and they began to walk away. But not before Arow looked behind her shoulder to give me a glare.
Dummy
Me: Wooohooo.
Arow: Felling better?
Me: Nope TT-TT
Arow: You'll feel better in the morning.
Me: Review please.
