When my eyes opened, I momentarily panicked, before remembering where I was. I groaned and fluffed up my hair, an nervous habit of mine, and went through to the kitchen, shaking some cereal into a bowl and pouring milk on top of it. Katie walked through at that moment, yawning.
"Morning. What time is it?" I asked, and she checked her watch.
"Seven. Wait! Doesn't school start at seven here?!" she screamed. I nodded and shoveled cereal into my mouth, and then addressed the wardrobe situation. Luckily, my alter ego here seemed to have the same clothes sense as me. Grabbing a baggy vest top, checked shirt, a pair of high tops, fingerless gloves and a hat, I met Katie in the hall, who was wearing black skinny jeans and a skull top again. Along with the same shoes as the day before. Her hair was tied up today, as was mine. Except mine was in a high ponytail, while hers wasn't. We ran out the door and to the school. Opening the door to the classroom we ran in, panting, to the confused look of Professor Stein.
"Morning. And what time do you call this? Half seven?" he asked.
"Eight. Eight's a nicer number," I replied.
"Can't agree more," I heard Kid murmur. I turned and looked at him, smiling.
"Go and sit in your seats," Stein said with a defeated sigh. We nodded and sat, listening to his lecture about soul resonance. Then he called Katie and I up to demonstrate. Crap.
"Right, Katie, go into weapon form," he instructed. She looked at me with wide eyes.
"Can I talk to you two outside?" Stein asked. We nodded, knowing we were about to be in deep trouble.
"You're not really a weapon and meister are you?" he asked.
"Well, we are, kinda, but we don't know how we ended up here! We're from a different world, I mean the sun and moon don't have a face where we come from, everything is so weird here!" I babbled. He nodded.
"Right. I see. That's very odd, but something we'll have to work out later. Katie, to turn into a weapon, just visualize yourself that way, right? Mhairi, I'm a meister too. Everything else should come naturally to you. Back inside, now," he instructed. We nodded mutely and walked inside. Katie focused for a moment, before becoming a silver vapor. She was then a sword, and inside my hand. I knew what to do for the demonstration.
"Let's go! Soul Resonance!" I shouted, feeling power rush through my body, and Katie's emotions flowing through me. I screamed as pain ripped through my body, and lost my concentration, hissing as I fell to the ground. I heard people buzzing around me, voices saying my name but I couldn't tell which was which. Then I blacked out.
I rubbed my head and sat up, seeing Katie next to my bed holding my hand, and Stein at the foot of it.
"What the hell..." I moaned.
"I've never seen a reaction like that to Soul Resonance. The fact you're from a different universe must have affected your soul more than I could have foreseen. Although it doesn't make sense. Your souls are perfectly matched to each other, except for the fact Katie's is a bit more... gothic than yours. Makes no sense..." he trailed off.
"Does anything make sense about me?" I laughed, when Kid, Liz, Patty, Maka, Soul, Tsubaki and, unfortunately, Black Star came in. Black Star walked right up to me and began shaking me.
"YOU WILL BE FINE! GOD IS HERE! DO NOT FEAR! HE WILL HELP YOU WITH SOUL RESONANCE!" he yelled. Katie walked over, wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him away. I waggled my eyebrows at her as she pulled him away, and she just gave me a glare. I did, however, notice a glare be sent her way by Tsubaki and Maka. Oh dear...
But sitting here with people I had only known for little over a day, I knew I could find good and true friends here. A family.
