JustACountdown321: EVERYONE I HAVE GREAT NEWS! For those of you who have been reading Just Try and Save Me, sorry that's it's been so long. I haven't had any way of continuing the story until now! I had a weird, kinda messed up dream last night that was a perfect story continuation of this fanfic and I really wanted to write it! It might just bring about a couple more chapters (maybe)! So here we go!

WARNING: contains yaoi, lemons, swearing, the usual…

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Soul Eater!

A month had passed since me and Black Star became lovers and everything was actually going great. We came out to our close friends, which none of them seemed too surprised, patting us on the back and congratulating us. Maka and Tsubaki moved in together to give me and Black Star more privacy back at his place, so we were living together now too. Life was good during this past month.

Until Stein introduced a new technique…

Class was chaos as usual, it being near the end of the school year. All of us were hanging out in the front of the class like always when Stein walked in pushing a cart with a strange device.

"Class take your seats before I start dissecting you… Now, you're all probably wondering what this thing is." He gestured to the device again before continuing his drone. "This is the latest technology, created by some of the top meister scientists in the world."

We all stared, still anticipating what this contraption would do.

"This is a prototype of what will eventually allow those who cannot see souls to be able to use 'Soul Perception.' Not only will this make your missions easier, but safer." He paused, letting the excitement of the new technology to settle down. I looked at my friends. All seemed interested except for Maka and Kid, who could already see souls. Stein cleared his throat.

"Now… who wants to test it out?"

A million hands shot into the air. Everyone was scrambling, trying to make their way up to the front of the class to get their hands on this amazing opportunity. Unfortunately for them, Black Star was up front and had already sat down in the test chair when Stein had asked. Several groans filled the air and the shuffling of angry feet was mixed in among them. Stein sighed, but walked up to Black Star and attached probes to his head, ignoring the eager outbursts coming from the loud assassin. He finished hooking Black Star up, then turned to the class.

"Now since this is only a prototype, it will only show Black Star's soul to the whole class, they haven't worked out the bugs to get it to show you the souls by wearing it." Several students perked up at this news, waiting to see what a soul looked like.

Stein flipped a switch, and suddenly Black Star was encased in a translucent blue orb with star shaped spikey 'hair' and a big smirk. The soul was pretty huge and several students let out a gasp, finally seeing what one looks like. Black Star was smiling like he had front row seats to a concert, which -in a way- he did. Stein flipped off the switch and smirked at the disappointed sighs. Black Star got unhooked and rushed back to his seat next to me, a grin plastered on his face. Stein looked over his class syllabus and started calling off names of the next participant.

After a hand-full of other students had gone up and had their soul displayed for everyone to see, my name was called. I sat down and awaited the sight of my own soul. I hoped it would be cool.

Stein flipped on the switch and nothing happened. A disappointed murmur spread throughout the room. Stein looked at the device again, switching it back on and off. I was starting to get concerned when a shudder ran through my whole body.

"Soul, what's-" Stein started to say, but was cut off by the sound of me groaning in agony. I fell to my knees, an extreme wave of nausea coming over me. Several people stood abruptly, concern in their voices.

And then there was the crackling of a radio.

Everyone glanced at the announcement system, but nothing came from it. Everyone was starting to freak out when they heard garbled voices.

"—Happy Birthday, Soul—"

I looked up in alarm, feeling the nausea wash over me along with a chill.

"W-Wes…" I squeaked.

I heard a gasp. I looked up and noticed a red orb, not as translucent as Black Star's, floating right above me. It appeared fairly small compared to everyone else's, but what was strange was that it wasn't attached to my body. It seemed to be looking around at everyone then deciding to focus on me below it. Its eyes were daunting.

"—Let's go to the arcade for your birthday—" it spoke again.

I gasped, covering my mouth and praying I don't cry. It was replaying that day.

"—Brother we're outta quarters—"

I felt my body trembling. Everyone was staring, not understanding what was going on, or what was freaking me out so badly. I caught a glimpse of Black Star who seemed as curiously concerned as everyone else.

No. I don't want him to hear it…

"—Run Soul!—" my brother was shouting. There was a collective gasp as everyone realized that my soul was replaying a memory of mine. I saw a few people glance at me and I started shaking more; my focus only on the red orb repeating the worst day of my life.

Maka spoke first. "Soul, what's going-"

"—Well, well Wes. Looks like your cornered… Where's that adorable little brother of yours—"

"—He's long gone Noah… What the fuck do you want—"

"No…" I murmured.

It skipped ahead. "—You sick son of a FUCK! GET AWAY FROM HIM!—"

"—Brother!—" Several people cringed, realizing the small, scared voice was me when I was younger.

"Soul what is this!" Stein shouted, concern clear in his voice. His face had paled several shades and sweat was dripping from his brow. I knew I was ten times worse.

"—N-no… p-please—"

The room was filled with the sounds of me as a child screaming and me screaming now. Everyone was rushing to either get away or to help me, but they couldn't. As my fear and anxiety grew, so did my soul; growing dangerously big, blocking them from reaching me. There was a lot of noise.

"Soul!" Black Star shouted, but I couldn't respond; I was frozen in fear.

"—Eh, Wes… did you die while we were raping your brother?—"

Everyone stopped moving. My eyes refocused long enough for me to see the looks of horror on everyone as they realized what had happened. Almost everyone was crying, several clutching their stomachs. I glanced at Black Star and saw him crying too.

"… no…"

I started glowing red, my mind no longer able to cope with the pain and fear I felt.

I heard Stein curse. "Everyone run, he's going to go mad!"

"—save… me—"

No one could move. Black Star was scrambling to try and hold me, my soul blocking him each time.

"—Shit! What the fuck! This kid's a weapon!—"

"—save me—"

The screams of the guys I killed filled the air; my psychotic laughter while I was killing them followed shortly after. I felt my body go rigid as the madness started to take over.

"—Save me!—"

I realized those few simple words were my thoughts while all of this was happening back then; constantly pleading with anyone to stop him.

Why did I think that?

Oh yeah…

I didn't want it.

"—SAVE ME!—"

Black Star had finally gotten close enough for me to see him. My mind snapped back to reality for a split second as I stared into his fearful eyes.

"SOUL!" he shouted.

I don't want this…

"— SOMEBODY SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!—"

A tear slipped down my cheek as I felt the madness take full control; my body glowing white hot.

"BLACK STAR SAVE ME!" I screamed.

And then I went supernova.

JustACountdown321: CLIFFHANGER! I know you all love those. And of course it's at a very crucial moment and that's because… I haven't decided where to go from here. Definitely having something awesome happen though… yeah. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this update, sorry it's kinda short. I seriously will try to do another update soon, but my school schedule is really busy, so no promises. But until then…

BYE!
