CH 15 : Monster
The angel sprinted down the dark hallway as the shadows chased her, she was back in the labyrinth of rotting gray wood. Maka stopped as the hallway split three ways. "God help me." she whispered. She was terrified that Hiro would show up. "there's no God here." rasped a voice in her ear. She screamed and turned but no one was there. She shuddered and turned back around, she felt hot breath on the back of her neck. She shuddered again, trying to remain calm, her hands shaking. Maka walked forward slowly and turned right, determined not to look behind her. There was nothing there. But the hot breath on her neck told her other wise, she shuddered once again then broke into a run. "Soul!" she yelled.
XXXXXX
The hell prince lashed out, his steel talons hitting nothing, his dragon hide arm slamming into the rotting gray wood. Soul let out a frustrated roar, his white tail thrashing. "where the hell are you?!" he roared. "here." said a raspy voice in his left ear. "or there." said a voice in his right. "maybe behind you." Soul roared and turned, lashing out, but something grabbed his scaled arm midswing. He blinked and looked up, his eyes wide with terror. He wrenched his arm away and took several steps back, shaking his head. "No!" he yelled. "NO! your dead!" A man stepped forward, he had white hair tipped with red, his eyes the same as Soul's, only colder, he was well built and tall. "I'm far from dead, boy." he growled. Soul backed away more. "your dead Discord!" he yelled then turned and took off.

Maka kept glancing back despite herself. She saw the shadow of a person right behind her, she let out a soft sob and ran faster. She turned corner after corner, slamming into walls when she turned to fast. No matter how fast she ran she could still feel the hot breath on her neck. "leave me alone!" she screamed, her lungs burned from running, her bare feet stung, her arms and sides hurt from slamming into walls, her dark purple dress torn, cut by the nails in the rotting wood. She hurt all over. She skidded to a stop and leaned against the wall, gasping for air, her whole body shaking. She looked around and saw nothing, the hot breath on her neck gone as well. "Soul." she choked out. "w-where are you?"

Soul glanced back at his father, the man who had beaten him as a child, as well as his half-brothers blackstar and hunter. He hated his father, the demon was abusive and cruel, the only person he was remotely kind to was Zeera, Soul's mother. Soul turned a corner and slammed into Discord. He stumbled back, his eyes wide with horror. "y-your not real!" he yelled and pushed past Discord and sprinted as fast as he could. "Maka!" he yelled loudly. "little dove, where are you?!" he turned corner after corner, determined to find his angel before something else did.
XXXXXX
Maka looked up when she heard the demon call out for her. "Soul?!" she yelled back. "where are you?!" she took a deep breath and began to run again, the hot breath on her neck starting. "Soul!" she shuddered.
"Little dove!"
She ran faster, turning down hallway after hallway. "Soul, where are you?!" she cried, desperate to find him. She slammed into a wall and winced slightly but recovered quickly. She turned a corner and saw him "Soul!" she choked and ran to him. Soul's eyes where wide and his whole body shaking, he pulled her close to him and hugged her tightly. "are you alright? Are you ok? He didn't get you?" he asked quickly. "yes I'm alright, and did who get me?" she asked softly, putting a hand on his cheek gently. Soul's terrified eyes darted around and he looked over his shoulder. "Discord is here somewhere." he said. Maka's eyes got wide, she had heard stories of the hell king, he was ruthless and blood thirsty, killing purely for fun and sport. She pressed closer to the demon. "close your eyes." she whispered. The demon closed his eyes, as did Maka.
When she opened them again, she was in bed with Soul, his arms wrapped tightly around her, his body still shaking. "Soul it's alright, we're safe, it's ok." she said softly, nuzzling her face into his chest and wrapped an arm around his midsection, her other pressed between them. "shhh shhh." she soothed. "it's ok, it was only a dream." she whispered. The demon opened his crimson eyes and looked at her then squeezed her tightly and buried his face in her sweet smelling hair.
