Fear. Fear was the feeling that pulsed threw her veins; driving her to sprint madly after the white haired boy. Maka's body shook as she crashed threw bushes and thorns. Jumping as nimbly as an average girl could, over the soil covered rocks that made the forest floor. She ran deeper and deeper into the woods, away from her car and her only means of escape. Maka only saw short glimpses of white she knew belong to a cretin red eyed boy. The same boy that actually talked to her while everyone else inored her , he also was the teen she ran over.
All she could hear was her own breath. Lungs pleading desperately for air, she stopped to catch her breath.
"How are they running so fast?" Maka looked over her surroundings as she waited for her breathing to calm. in front of her was a steep hill covered in protruding boulders that were anchored by tree roots to stay in place. "Well that's great." She bent over, plasing her hands on her knees. While standing up, a peace of black cloth caught her attention. It was a jacket. Slowly walking over Maka lifted it to reveal jean pants. She sweat dropped. "And why the hell are they stripping?"
A monstrous roar ripped her from her thoughts. A look of determination on her face Maka began to clime up the hill, grabbing onto the bases of trees to help lift herself up. Before she knew it she came to the end of a tree line that surrounded a rocky drop off. Almost falling in she grabed onto a tree, and gasped.
Soul Chased after Jack. Wind mussing his hair, red eyes flashing with intent to kill.
"You wanna fight! Then lets do it as real ~~~~~~ !" While running he tore his shirt and worked to get his other close off.
Soul stopped running looking for a place to put his clothes, finding a bush he striped off is jacket and shirt, putting his folded pants under them. Turning around he saw Jack's bare back disapear over the bolder incrusted hill. Soul took a deep breath and began to sprint after him. Mucels working with little effort to propel him up the hill side. At the top he skidded to a halt.
Before him stood an immense crater, insides covered in natural rock platforms. A pit in middle was big enough to be a round base ball field. "So this is where your leading me." Soul snorted. "Jack, wanting to fight is one thing, but showing off isn't cool at all."
Jack landed inside the sand covered floor of the pit. Breathing in the sent of rock and blood. "This is ganna be your grave Soul. This is where I make a name for myself. This is where I prove my strength!" It didn't take long for him to start the 'change'.
Soul landed at the edge of the pit, looking down he saw his challenger fall to the ground in agony. Backing up he jumped onto a near by rock platform, getting on all fours in anticipation of the pain that was to come.
Souls body tensed then shuttered, as his bones snapped and grew. Blood pounded in his ears as his body began to distort its shape. Rolling over onto his back, Soul moaned in agony as his spine forcefully arched itself. Mouth cracking, jaws shattering only to be reformed. White hair sprouted all over him. Rolling back over to his stomach, he stretched to allow his limbs to fully change.
The White wolf stood up, Flexing his muscles till all of the spasms ended. His movement was like water as he stalked over to edge of the pit once more. Ears forward, he sat, awaiting his challenger to finish changing. His blood red eyes focused on his target, eager for the fight to begin.
A crack sounded behind him causing Soul to avert his gaze to look at the new intruder. Red eyes met green, as Maka tried to cling to a tree after almost falling and snapping her neck on the hard rocks below.
Soul let out a whine, part of him didn't want her to see this, while the other half wanted to show her how bad ass he could be. But honestly what was the point in showing off? It wasn't like she knew it was him anyway.
Maka dropped down onto a platform. Scrambling over rocks she headed strait over to him.
The growns in the pit stopped, and an ear pearsing howl was unleashed. Maka didn't move, trying to find what made the noise, but the howl echoed off the stone around them. Soul stood still, refusing to look away from Maka.
Her heart was pounding, even before she saw the dark wolf leap from behind Soul.
Jack's teeth sinking into his ankle tore Soul from his thoughts, as blood soaked his white fur. Crying out in aggravation Soul twisted right, sinking his fangs into Jack's side. Jerking sideways Soul threw the dark wolf off his feet sending him to the ground. Jack let go of the ankle. Taking his chance Soul pined Jack on his side, digging his teeth deeper into his flesh. Jack furiously struggled to get out of the death grip, powerful claws leaving deep scratches in the bolder as he tried to gain some sort of footing.
Soul released his hold, giving Jack chance to escape and tense for an attack. They started to circle each other. Hackles raised they looked two times their size, fluffed up and teeth bared in a terrifying show of aggression.
As if on queue they both lunged, colliding with a massive crash of fangs, muscle and bone. Soul latched on to Jack's shoulder while Jack struggled to bite Soul's legs, missing and only grabbing fur. They rolled in a tangled ball, staining rocks with blood and hair.
Maka stood against the crater wall, watching the monstrous wolves try and tear each other to shreds, entranced by their bloody dance. Leaning forward she lost her footing, tumbling down the side of a boulder only to land on another platform with her side.
Soul's heart jumped as he clamped down on Jack's leg, tearing off the muscle. He felt bone crunch in his mouth as he shoved the black wolf forward, sending him tumbling to the ground. Jack began to spaz out of pain, flailing in agony.
Panting, Soul carelessly made his way over the rocks, slipping every now and then on his bloodied paw. His head felt heavy from exhaustion and the red mask that now covered his face. He dragged himself onto the rock ledge. Soul knew she was alive. He could hear her heart beat when he started to clime. Lightly he nudged her, but got no response. Whining lightly he liked her face, accidentally smearing blood on her cheek and smearing blood on her cheek.
Maka blinked before opening her eyes fully only to see a red and white wolf head in front of her face. Reaching out she burred her fingers in his cheek fur. He closed his eyes, he leaned into her hand and let out a sigh.
"Where did the black one go?" she asked tiredly while propping herself up on an elbow.
Souls eyes shot open, ears turning wildly in all directions. He couldn't hear him…. He didn't know where Jack went. In a flash of fur and claw, Jack hoisted himself onto the ledge, biting down on Maka's hood and roughly dragged her aside, only to be charged by Soul a knocked off the ledge; falling back with a thud onto the rock below.
Eyes wide the white wolf took deep breathes in a desperate attempt to calm himself, he stalked over to the edge of the platform and looked down at the black furred challenger. Quickly thinking Soul let out a howl, and everything seamed to stop. No birds sung, no trees swayed to the gentle touch of the breeze, it was as if the world just froze in anticipation.
Heavy pounding sounded over the rim of the slope. A broad shouldered blue wolf poped his head threw the tree line, Shaking twigs and dirt from his pelt. Dropping down he padded up to Soul.
Black*Star let out a low yawn before nudging Soul in the shoulder and lazy taking his place in front of Maka.
Satisfied the white wolf jumped down on top of Jack's leg, shattering the bone. Jack erupted in a painfull cry only to be silenced when Soul bared his fangs. Red eyes distant as he plodded around the bark wolfs broken form, grabbing his scruff, Soul dragged him off of the ledge, slamming into one of the many below. Over, and over jack hit the cold stone perches until he landed at the edge of the pit. Flinging Jack onto its sandy floor, he snorted knowing the maniac would not be able to get out until healed; the curved walls made it impossible to get out.
Blood started to saturate the sand around Jack, and for a moment Soul sat there and watched before using his powerful legs to exit the pit. He was exhausted, and bleeding from right shoulder and sides. Slowly he claimed back up to Black*star, tripping over his feet every so often before finally reaching his friend, collapsing from exhaustion at the blue wolfs feet.
' someone overdid it.' Black*star cocked his head to the side.
'shut up… did he brake skin?' he asked while closing his eyes, too tired to veven open them.
'No, cant smell any blood. You really messed Jack up … wish I was here for the whole thing. ' he chuckeld. But his tone then grew serious ' This isn't like you…' he said sitting down.
Soul just lay there, drifting in and out of conscience. 'Hey… could you take her home?'
Black*star scoffed. ' what the hell did she do to you?' his question was not answerd, Soul already drifted to sleep.
Maka blinked before opening her eyes, half expecting to see another fuzzy face.
"Holy crap my head hurts…. Huh…. Where is he?" Sleepily she talking to herself. She caught sight of Blue and a frown appeared across her face. "Eh? … what are you doing over here…."
The broad shouldered wolf looked over his shoulder before turning to face the small girl. Looking be hind him she caught site of her blood stained wolf.
"Kay? What the hell did you do?" standing up she stumbled over to him, grabbing his lips and yanked his head down to look him in the eyes. " If you so much as scratched a hair on his body, consider yourself a new floor skin for my room!"
Black*star sweat-dropped.
Maka walked around the blue and tried to lift Soul up. "Whoh your heavy." (duh he's the size of a hours!) she said whipping her forehead, " Hey… Blue…. Help me out."
Black*star turned his head in confusion.
"Help me drag him". she said pointing to the sleepy Soul, "to my car so I can take care of his wounds… Why am I even talking to you.." she sighed, " Its not like you understand me, you're an animal."
Black*star looked at her boredly. Walking behind the light brunet girl, he used his wide head to try an d nudge her back up the ridge.
"Stop it! I'm not leaving with out him!" Smacking his snout she ran back to Soul.
'Ok plan two' he thought. A low growl riped threw his throught, contorting his face in to a fearsome snarl the massive wolf jumped in front of the small girl and bared his fangs right in her face. Eyes potraying nothing but murderous intent.
Maka was taken aback by his sodden mood swing. Every fiber of her being told her to flee, told her to run her ass back to the jeep and drive off. "No." Her voice shook but began to gain more confidence. Looking the beast in the eyes out of sheer defiance she said "I refuse to keep running. I don't care if you tear me to shreds but I am not… Will not leave him behind. So burn my soul." pausing to take a breath before continuing, "Now get your but over there and help me move his fuzzy butt to my car."
Black*star was dumb founded. ' wow Soul she's got guts, I'll give her that.'
'Shut up and help me to her car. She's not leaving here without me apparently.'
The blue wolf let out a snort, that blew Maka's hair back. Plodding over to Soul, he grabbed his friend by the scruff and begun to drag him; stopping only to help Maka up the ridge.
Needless to say, Maka was proud of herself. She actually got a jinormouse wolf to listen to her instead of tearing her apart. It was probably the most stupid thing she has ever done, but she was still proud of it.
She had picked up Souls jacket and pants on the way back, and couldn't help saying, "You know… its kind of weird that there are naked guys running around in the forest."
A scratchy chuckle erupted from the Blue wolf's throat.
It took a while, but they finally made it to the road. After Black*star flung Soul on the back of the jeep, Maka covered him with a tarp. "ok." she sighed and quickly got into the vehicle; noticing the whole thing was off balance.
The drive home was slow and uneventful. All the brunet could think about was how she would get the white wolf into her house to treat his wounds.
In her deep state of thought Maka didn't notice she had a follower.
Maka pulled into the driveway, jumping out as quickly as she could to run to the garage to find a dally. Hurrying back she placed it right at the back of the jeep. "Alrighty…. How is this going to work?…"
Grabbing his head she pulled… no budge.
Next his legs… no budge.
His tail and ears… well he wined … but still didn't move.
" Hmmmm…" then ehile she was in deep thought, LIGHT BULB! "I got it!" she ran into the forest and grabbed a branch. Gingerly using it as a lever, she rolled the beast (finally) onto the dally.
"Thud…" -ok it was oviously not the best fit, but really who planed for something like this? - Grabbing his head Maka struggled to get him in the house. "wouh your heavy!" When he was inside she rolled him on the living room floor. Running all over the house she found towels and a bucket. Filling the bucket up with warm water she knelt beside the sleeping mass of bloody fur and began cleaning his wounds. But no matter how much blood she wiped away she couldn't find any major cuts or gashes - witch was weird because none of these wounds would cause this much blood loss- after cleaning him off and patching up some of the scrapes Maka sat down next to him and sighed. She was completely exhausted. Shifting her green eyes to the wolfs face she couldn't help but peaceful (and adorable ; 3 ) he looked.
"Consider this my thanks for saving me, we're even, sorry this is the most I can do for you." She leaned against his side feeling the warmth from his fur warm her. Feeling her eyes grow heavy Maka finally slipped into sleep.
Light pored threw the living room's glass sliding door - led to the deck- making Soul stir. Taking a deep breath he sighed as the relaxing sent of leaves and ink filled his nose. The ink played so lightly with the other sent that it was almost undetectable. There was a warmth beside him. Hugging it closer he let out a content sigh.
The warmth hugged him back, snuggling into his embrace and deepening the sent his nose so graciously picked up. 'wait… what's on me?'
Souls eyes shot open and he looked down slowly, a blush spread across his cheeks. Maka was nuzzling his bare chest. He couldn't move a muscle. He had to think of a way out… and quick! But to his dismay, Maka's eyes began to open. The girl yawned and frowned and looked around. Her blood went ice cold, he could heven hear her heart skip a beat in fear,- or was that dismay?- as she looked into his red gaze.
" Ummm… Hello…" She blinked to clear her head, then the fear and anger actualy hit her. "What the hell are you doing in my house!"
"…" Soul looked at her, eyes full of terror.
"And what's pressing against my leg?" She looked down. " HOLY SHIT YOUR NAKED!"
Soul quickly pulled away grabbing the nearest pillow he could find off the couch to cover his crutch.
"I can explain!" He blurted out pleadingly.
"What are you doing in my house?"
"You let me in." he said calmly while sweat-dropping.
"Why would I let a naked man into my house?"
"I wasn't naked… well… actually I was… But that's besides the point." he desperately tried to explain.
"Wait…" she said in a concerned voice. "What happened to fuzzy?"
"Huh?" he dubble sweat-dropped. "you named m- hem… him fuzzy?"
"…well yeah…" she scratched the back of her head and looked down in embarrassment.
"You named a gigantic wolf ' Fuzzy'?"
She blushed, and looked at him. "don't judge me… wait how do you even know about him?" Her eyes began to narrow in suspicion.
" Um… well…" Comoletly helpless, he ran a hand threw his white hair.
Before he could even come up with something to say Maka jumped to a different topic. "Wait! What time is it?"
Soul looked dumb founded, " Um… 11:27 in the morning, why?"
Maka's jaw dropped. " Oh no! Soul we have school!" she dashed up the stairs, heading strait for her room. Grabbing anything in site to that she could wear.
"Maka!" Soul yelled from the living room. But she just ignored him, as she put on a maroon hoody and jeans. Almost tripping on her way down the stairs, she skidded to a halt besides -the now pant wearing- Soul.
"Hey where did you get the jeans?"
"You must have brought them in last night." scratching the bac of his head, he walked over the dark sand colored carpet to sit on her couch. Draping both arms over the back of the brown couch, the shirtless boy stared at the sealing.
Maka was going to pop like a balloon. " What are you doing? We have to go." Grabing his arm she tried desperately to pull him up.
"Maka… Its Saturday." he all but sighed.
Face palming her self, she fell onto the seat in defeat. Taking a moment to colect herself she asked, " why are you making yourself at home anyway?" The brunet was looing at him there the corner of her eye.
Soul closed his orbs, and leaned his head back on a cushion. " Actualy I used to squat here when I was going threw some hard times with my family."
They were both silent for a moment, Maka prossesing everything and Soul waiting for a response. She was deciding how to feel about what he said.
"When did you decide to leave?" She pulled her knees up to rest her chin on them. Soul opened one eyes slightly to look at her. " This house I mean…"
"Well someone bought it." He said closing his eye once more, if he felt sad or resentful he didn't show it.
"Well do yo-" Foot falls on the deck caught there attention, stopping Maka mid sentence.
In seconds Soul was on his feet, facing the glass door to the deck. "Maka… Go up stairs as quietly as you can." authority rang threw his voice making it vibrate in deep tones.
"What's going on?" Worry shook her voice.
"A friend of mine is just checking up on me." he sighed, " But sometimes he goes over board."
The footfalls got louder and Soul eyes widened. " The idiot! Get down!" As he yelled a giant blue figure came crashing threw the deck door, sending shards of glass scattered across the carpet.
Maka was on the floor, shealding her head with her arms. Moving her arm she sole a glimpse of the intruder.
The Blue wolf stood, panting ten feet away from her, breathing deeply while staring at the floor. His spiky short main -although not too short to see his skin- contrasted the muscles on his neck. His sounders were broad for a wolf's standards. He shook his pelt, sending small shards of glass into the air. The Blue then fixed Soul with an eerie blue stair.
Maka recognized the beast and slowly stood, walking right besides Soul, glaring at the Blue.
"Maka get back!" he whispered, and held out a protective arm.
"Soul, I'm not letting this thing hurt you." she said while slapping his hand down.
Seeing that, the wolf lunged at Maka, "Shit!" Soul Flung himself in front of her. The wolf slapped him aside like he was nothing; sending the white haired boy into the wall.
The beast stood there for a moment, eyes wide as if he just did something he didn't mean to. Anger slowly griped him. Drawing his lips back he growled louder and louder; knife lie fangs inches away from Maka's face.
Like a deer in head lights she couldn't move. Before she could do anything the wolf grabbed her by the hoody, wildly swinging her back and forth. Suddenly she fell to the floor, as the Blue wolf growled in furry. Maka looked up intime to see the white wolf (her Fuzzy) launch over the blues back, grabbing his neck quickly to bring him down. Hitting the floor hard, the blue rolled over on his paws and reared up, ready to crush the white wolf with his front paws. Rolling to the side as the blue came down, the white hoped back on his feet. Then the blue charged.
As they bit and clawed each other, Maka crawled up against the wall, using the couch to hid, and to escaping their snapping jaws.
Soul Felt his teeth rip into Black*stars neck, as they both fell to the floor.
'Black*star calm down!'
There was no reply, His friend was too infuriated to think, and all that went threw his head was a blurry mush.
They rolled on the floor, snapping at each others shoulders and muzzles. Black*star sunk his fangs into Souls shoulder, making the white wolf growl in anger,and before her knew it, Soul was flung into the living room table, shattering the glass table to little peaces.
Struggling to get up he saw Black*star stalking towards him. Getting up as fast as he could, Soul charged, knocking them both head over heals into the wall, ripping a hole in the wall. His sharp claws dug into his blue friends flesh, staing both their pelts with dots of blood. Black*star sunk his teeth once more into Souls shoulder. Swinging his head to the side, Soul griped Black*stars neck in a death grip.
The broad shouldered wolf grew weaker and weaker, as his blood flow was stopped; starving his brain of oxygen. Letting go of Soul's shoulder he fell unconscious.
Soul releced his grip, Panting as he stared at his pack mate. The sound of cracking bones filled the air. Black*stars body shuttered, as his ribsbroke and relined along with his arms and hands. Bone by bone snapped and reformed until the unconscious wolf was in human form.
"Black*star?" Maka's voice made Soul look back in shock. He forgot she was even there.
She took a step toward the unconscious boy, but the white wolf nudged her with his muzzle making her stop. "That's impossible…no way.." Soul looked at his pack mate and then back at her. "Aww Fuzzy don't tell me your…" taking one last look at Black*stars form she fainted.
Ok so Maka's kind of coming to terms with things at the mo, shouldn't take her long ;) i know the story gets a bit choppy when it comes to how she actually feels or what she thinks, and iv been debating whether or not to put first person in along with third or just change it to first.
PLEASE REVIEW!
