~Naomi's POV~
I looked at my friends for the last time, nodded then exhaled. I looked at the DWMA and was about to enter when-
"KYAAAAAAAAAA!" We heard a scream that made all of us turn around-talk about ruining the moment.
When we turned, we were shocked at whom we saw, it was Sienna-my sister, and Chloe-Crys' sister. They were hugging each other with their eyes closed.
Sienna and Chloe were ultra super mega best friends, and are both 14 years old-2 years younger than the rest of us.
Then I laughed. I couldn't help it anymore, their faces were so funny.
After hearing that, Sienna and Chloe's eyes opened, looked at each other, then at us and they screeched "Where are we?!"
Then we all laughed. They were like those popular girls who just broke their nails-they're such sissies.
Cyrs went up to both of them and said, "Guys, chill."
(While trying hard not to laugh.)
"Chill?!" Chloe said "Where the heck are we?!"
"I said chill, we'll tell you all about it late-"
"I demand an explanation!" Chloe announced.
I sighed and went towards them.
"Naomi, where are we?" Sienna asked.
I sighed again and rubbed my neck. Well, if they're here, might as well tell them everything.
I started to explain; right from the very start until the part that they came. The DVD player, the "transportation", the fall, and the exasperation. I also told them about going in the DWMA.
"Are you crazy?" Chloe screeched again the moment I was done explaining.
"SHUT IT." Crys hissed which made Chloe duck her head but still muttered, "I am not going in there."
I laughed sarcastically, I don't know what Sienna sees in Chloe, 'cause all I see is a whiny, selfish, spoiled, rich kid.
Oh, and HINT: We're not that close.
"That's fine with me, but I am not leaving my best friend's sister and my sister's best friend to die in this desert." I said meaning every word.
Then I wonder, 'Are they even related?'
I mean, I know Crys. Even if she gets mad she is not going to act like this.
I think.
"I'd rather die here than in there!" She yelled while pointing at the DWMA.
I guess she's adopted.
"How are you so sure that you are going to die in there?" I asked; confused.
"PUH-LEASE, I've watched their shows, I know what's gonna happened if you don't have any of those…weapon-thingys." She said while crossing her arms.
Please...anyone...please stop me before I do something that will make my best friend hate me forever.
"That's all planned out." Layla said making the four of us turn around.
Sweet Jesus! Thank you! I almost punched the girl in the eye.
"A-a...How?!" Chloe stammered.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out," Layla said "Now get moving...or I won't stop Naomi from kicking your sorry ass again."
I laughed quietly and move towards Layla "Okay, what's the plan?"
Layla smirked "As I've said, that's for me to know and for you to find out."
I grinned as we walk up to the stairs with Chloe, Sienna and Crys following behind.
We were going inside DWMA. FINALLY!
When we entered the first thing we saw was a huge staircase which had probably...100, 000 steps to walk through.
How tiring would that be?
But, I don't know how we did it...we survived!
When we reached the top, it was all quiet; I thought it was strange, DWMA being a school and all, but shrugged it off thinking that they were just having their classes. You know, synchronously.
We followed Layla to a corridor, then turned right, left, right, left, left, then boom—
Here we are, the door to the Grim Reaper's room.
I gulped.
Layla so did not think of going in there.
Or does she have a death wish?
"Here we are!" Layla announced nodding her head, quiet pleased with herself.
I looked at all the faces in front the room except for Layla-Crys, Sienna, Jimmy, Gary and Chloe.
Then I knew, we all had one thought:
WHAT THE HELL IS SHE THINKING?!
Yes, I'm a very big fan of Soul Eater, but I do not want to get killed by the Grim Reaper! Especially when I finally found the DWMA. I'd rather grow old, thanks.
You might be thinking a lot of questions right now, but you see, the reason why I really loved Soul Eater is because of my grandmother. She told me-before she died-that there was, in Nevada USA, the long lost city of DWMA (wow it rhymes).
(A/N: Please pretend that Soul Eater is, like, over a few decades old)
She had said that only a true person/s with a pure soul and a courageous heart, yup yada yada yada, would be able to find it. That's why I was so overjoyed when I found out that my friends and I-of all people-would be the ones to be able to find it.
And it made me ecstatic that all of us (probably not including Chloe) had a true personality, a pure soul and a courageous heart.
I guess all of those things disappeared when we stood before the huge door of the Grim Reaper.
I guess only Layla has all of that this time.
I stared at Layla, giving her the now-what? look. She sighed.
"Okay," She started as calm as possible "Who likes to go in first?"
We groaned all together.
Ooooohhh...synchronized.
"No one wants to die yet!" Garry said sarcastically, throwing his hands in the air.
Hey, I just found out. If you remove the r's in 'Garry' it would only be GAY!
"I said 'enter' not die." Layla replied; even more sarcastic.
Figures. I mean, he IS one.
"But we all know what's gonna happen if we step inside there!" Chloe shrieked, backing Garry up.
"SHUSH." Crys covered Chloe's mouth.
Layla groaned "Why do you all have to be sissys!"
(note: Sissy is a coward, gay, cowardy gay-you get the idea.)
"Then why don't you go first." Jimmy said.
"Nuh-uh!" Layla said, snapping her fingers.
"See? That's exactly what I'm talking about." I said, then sighed.
It was going to end up like this. Nobody would be willing to enter.
"W-well, at least I'm not the one who has a grandmother who knows all about Soul Eater!" I turned around.
Why the hell is Garry bringing up my grandmother?
"Naomi should do it." He added.
"Yeah!" Jimmy said.
Oh no, this is so not happening.
What? Okay, fine, I admit it: I'm scared too. But at least I have the guts to say so. Like any other human, I value my life.
"Uhh…Naomi-" Layla started.
I'm dead. Oh no, I am so dead.
I guess you can saythat I'm not really an optimistic kind of person.
"Naomi! Naomi! Naomi! Chloe, Jimmy and Garry chanted.
NOOO! My life is over. Officially.
I thought about it for a while.
*THINKING*
*THINKING*
I sighed in defeat. Even my own brain thinks I should do it.
"Fine, I'll do it." I gave up.
By the way, you guys are invited to my funeral which will be held tomorrow, 2:00pm.
Please contact Layla Reins for any added information.
"Yeah!" The three of them shouted but luckily Crys and Sienna covered all of their mouths—to avoid adding more noise.
I was about to turn the door knob when-
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Layla asked which made me let go of the door knob.
I breathed in again and shook my hands. "Yeah, I'm sure."
She smiled. "Good.'Cause I wanted to let you do it anyway."
"What?" I spun around quickly.
"Yup! Just don't forget to not run back even if he's about to kill you."
I groaned. "I won't forget."
"Okay then," She turned around "Goodluck."
Well, that didn't help, but at least she was honest with me.
Always has, always will.
I breathed in again. I turned the door knob, walked in and closed the door. I faced front and started to walk very slowly.
He's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill youHe's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill youHe's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill youHe's not gonna kill you He's not gonna kill you
I kept on saying in my head.
The inside of the door was the same with the one in the anime but less cartoony. It had the clouds, the backgrounds...and even the things that slice your heads in the old times on top of you...oh...I so don't wanna die.
What were those again? Guillotine right?
I breathed in again as I reached the stop, where there was a platform in front, a few steps of stairs and a mirror.
I rose the platform and gulped, "U-umm...h-hello?"
No one answered. I gulped again.
This was exactly the thing I was scared of, being alone...not sure if someone is there or not...not sure if someone is looking at you or not.
"Hey, who are you?" I heard a voice behind me.
I screamed, crouching and covering my head.
"O-Oi oi...a-are you ok?" He asked.
(I pretty much guessed he was a guy from the voice.)
I didn't look up. I was too scared. My body was shaking and I couldn't find my voice even if I wanted to speak.
I do not want to die now! I'm still going to kill Jimmy, Garry and Chloe for making me go inside!
"Hey!" he said in a kind-of-worried-kind-of-not voice.
"D-don't touch me-stay away!" I screamed, finally finding my voice, then ran behind the mirror.
He then mumbled something than spoke. I couldn't catch it because I was too busy breathing. Luckily, he did not come for me.
"Ah, father, do you have any guests?" I heard him speak, a polite tone.
"Ah? No, not at the moment." Another voice said.
Both of their voices sounded so strange yet familiar.
"Then who is this?" I was shocked to see that Kid-yes, Death the Kid-was crouching beside and pointing at me.
I couldn't scream anymore so I just covered my head and hid my head on top of my knees.
"Hmm...she doesn't look familiar," The Grim Reaper had said-yes, I saw that the other voice was indeed the Grim Reaper (thus, I lost my voice for a second time).
"Can I ask your name?" He said, removing my hands from my head with his big hand.
I gulped.
Control your damn shaking!
"U-umm...m-my n-n-name is..." I gulped again. I couldn't speak properly, but I managed to say my name.
He nodded then faced Kid, "Her name's Naomi."
Kid sighed "Yes, I heard that."
Then the Grim Reaper faced back to me. He grabbed my hands and pulled me up to stand. I had to grab my right hand to stop myself from hiding my face.
It was already embarrassing as it is.
"Well, Naomi, what brings you to the DWMA?"
I gulped again; I was not informed about Layla's plan so I didn't know what to do next.
"U-umm, I-we have something to ask of you." I said, bowing my head.
"Hmm...we?" He asked confused.
"W-well you see..." I said still not bringing my head up "I was with m-my friends t-to ask something-"
He nodded. "Well, where are they?"
