Maka looks around...
She knows this place..
She's at the park.
And she's not alone.
Her mother stands in front of her..with a deep frown on her face..Her green eyes glossy.
She wears that same dress..but there's less sand in the top..and it's still falling down.
"..Baby..you didn't listen to me.." Her mother takes a painful breath..Her eyes shake slightly. "..Why did you go back to him?..He's dangerous baby..He isn't good for you..and I won't be able to help you."
"..I had to mom..I.." Her voice cracks up..She feels a deep guilt when she looks her mother in the eyes. "..I'm sorry."
"..No baby I'm sorry."Her voice trembles. "..I failed you..I tried so hard but I.."
She takes a deep breath.
"It's getting harder to speak to you..I don't have much time..I have fought for so long..He's drained me of all I have baby." She shakes her head, putting her hands together as if in prayer. "..What ever you find out about me..What ever you endure Maka..Just know I love you..I love you more then anything and I tried so hard..I tried so very hard to keep you safe..but I failed."
"Mom..stop saying you don't have much time..just come back to me..I just want you back..I love you so much too mom..I miss you so much.." Maka takes a step closer only for her to take a step back.
"..I miss you too baby..but this had to happen..I couldn't let him touch you but..it seems I'm not strong enough to keep him away." Her mother takes a painful breath. "..Maka baby..Listen to me..You must stay away from that boy..The snake has him..You must stay away.."
"The snake?" Maka frowns. "Mom what are you-
"Let me just look at you Maka.." Her mother smiles sadly, looking at her with love..Something Maka's long to see since two years ago. " You have grown so much..Your so beautiful..You don't deserve what has happen..or what is about to happen. I tried so hard to stop it but I.."
She shakes her head..tears slowly starting to stream down her face.
"..Just look at you my baby..I wish I could touch you..I wish I could hold you..but I can't..It's not possible now." The tears keep falling down her mother's face and it hurts Maka so much. "I wish I could take you to the park for real..back at home where we would get ice cream and feed the ducks, do you remember that baby?"
"How could I forget.." She feels something wet fall down her face..A dread gripping her heart so bad.
"..I can no longer take you there in the real word..but I had to recreate it in some way.." She points around her at the park. "..I had to take you here..one last time.."
"One last time?.." The tears fall more, Maka can barely breathe. "..What are you saying mom?..Your going to come back mom, your going to get out of the asylum some day..We will go to the park again! We will!"
"I wish that was true baby." She smiles sadly at her again..Her tears haven't stopped. "..Don't cry for me..Do not weep my child..It's ok..I don't weep for myself but I weep for you..."
"Why are you crying at all? It's ok..Your coming back and we'll go to the park every Friday like we use to!" Maka's shouting..She can't stop her tears.
"Heh..That would be heaven for me Maka.." There's a deep sadness in her eyes. "..But sadly I'm not going to be granted heaven..for my sins against god..for my sins against you.."
"What are you-
"..Please be safe Maka..Please don't let all I've done be in vain." She takes a deep breath. "..And promise me..no matter what you find out about me..no matter what you endure..please remember that I love you..and I'm so sorry..I'm so sorry."
"Mom!-
"Don't end up like me...Please don't end up like me.." Her mother is becoming more and more faded. "Mommy loves you, mommy loves you so much."
"Mom don't go!" Maka runs towards her, reaching out to touch her..to hold her, to keep her there.
"Good bye..my sweet Maka." She looks down at her dress as all the sand goes down..The top being empty.
She looks at Maka..The saddest smile on her face.
"..I'm afraid..my time..has run out."
Maka goes to grab her but..
She disappears.
She's gone.
"Mom!" Maka cries..
Suddenly the bright park changes into a barren waste land..
The sun is replaced by a starless night..and a red full moon.
The air is still...It's silent.
In front of her..with his back turned is Crona..The red moon casting shadows over him.
Run..Run away.
But she doesn't.
Maka runs to him..runs to be comforted by the boy despite the signs she's seeing.
Crona turns around.
He doesn't have his face.
It looks like he's wearing a mask..with these three large vertical eyes..
His mouth is large and full of teeth.
This isn't Crona.
She turns to run but before she can..
He grabs her and sinks his teeth into her face...
He pulls her face off..He steals who she is..
All she can do is cry..and scream.
She screams for her mother..
But she's no longer here.
Her lips are ripped off and her screaming dies.
Maka dies.
Maka wakes up with a start...Her panting, her eyes shaking.
She looks beside her...The boy isn't in bed with her.
She scans the darkness desperately for him..Needing to see him with out that mask on his face.
Her breath hitches.
The boy stands in front of the window..staring out of it with blank, unblinking eyes.
The moon lights up his face..making his eyes look all the more haunted.
His body is straight..He isn't slouching..
Maka has a choice..
She can either pretend to go back to bed..just in case this is Ragnarok and not Crona..
Or she can risk it.
..She needs to see his face completely..She needs to be held by him..
That dream was horrible.
She hated it.
Maka takes a deep breath.
"C-Crona?" She calls for him.
The boy doesn't respond, him staring out of the window unblinking.
"..Crona.." Maka slowly sits up in the bed..It creaks as she moves to the end of it, she sits on the edge staring at him.
"Something has happened." The boy speaks motor toned..His eyes starting to tremble. "..Something has happened.."
"What?" She gets off the bed moving closer to him.
"..." He doesn't respond to her for a moment but then he looks back at her. "..He's here."
"Who-
Suddenly Maka hears the door unlock behind her causing her to whip around only to see Kid rush in.
"Maka!" He cries out in relief as he runs over to her, pulling her into a almost crushing hug. "..Oh god..Your ok..I was so worried..I couldn't sleep..couldn't do anything but worry about you..I'm so glad your ok.."
"I'm fine Kid.." Maka can't help but to sigh a little in relief as the familiar smell and warmth of Kid fills her being.
She feels safe.
"I'm so glad..I'm so glad." He whispers against the top of her head..Him pulling her closer..His breathing is uneven.
Maka looks behind him..expecting to see a certain male nurse but no one's there.
"..Where's Giriko?" She looks up at him.
"..He didn't come in, he's waiting out side...He still thinks the cameras are on so I took his keys and came here myself." He holds her tighter. "I don't care if I go to jail..I had to get you out of here..had to make sure your ok.."
"..Thank you so much Kid.." Maka lets out another sigh.. "..I'm so sorry if you get in trouble..I didn't think this through."
"It's ok Maka..i'm just so relieved your ok.." He nuzzles the top of her head only to tense up.
Confused by this she looks behind her which is where he seems to be looking.
Crona is looking at the two..A deep frown on his lips but..
He's glaring.
Not at her, but at Kid.
He eyes where his arms are touching her..and his frown deepens.
"..I take it your Crona.." Kid lets go of her and takes a step forward, holding out his hand towards the other boy..a smile on his face but..it's not as charming as it usually is. "..I'm Kid, Maka's friend. She's told me so much about you, I'm glad to have met you in person."
Crona looks down at his hand with unblinking eyes.
He doesn't take his hand.
"S-So your Kid.." Crona mumbles, looking him in the eyes. "..M-Maka's told me about you too."
"Oh really? Well I'm much more charming then how she must have described me." He chuckles.
Crona doesn't laugh.
He just stares at him with that odd expression in his eyes.
"..." Maka looks between the two boys..A tension seeming to fill up the small room.
Crona's glaring at Kid and well..Kid is..
Not glaring but he doesn't look to happy either.
It confuses Maka..They just met what could be the problem?
"..Is something wrong Crona?" She frowns as she takes a step froward, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Crona blinks and he looks at her..
His eyes go back to normal as he averts his gaze.
"Y-Yeah I'm fine..I-I just.." He glances over at Kid and he frowns..His face falling in a pout.
"Don't worry Crona, Kid's cool." Maka smiles reassuringly at her friend.
Kid gives him a friendly smile at this.
Crona looks at him a moment before looking down at his feet.
"..I-I don't know how to deal with him.."
"I'm sure you will warm up to him." Maka rubs his shoulder
"..I-Is he going to take you away from me Maka?" He looks at her sadly.
"Yes but I'll be back Thursday." Maka grabs his chin and turns his head towards her. "..Even though the whole light thing was scary..I still enjoyed being with you Crona."
"I-i enjoyed it too." His face lights up, his cheeks slightly tinting as he smiles at her. "I-I liked..y-you being here with me..S-Sleeping with you was better then being in "
Kid fiddles with his rings..looking rather uncomfortable.
"Well Yay, I'm better then a corner." She chuckles as she pinches his cheek lightly.
"T-That's!...I-I didn't mean!" His face gets pale, his eyes shaking with panic.
"I know." She smiles and pokes his nose, causing him to calm back down. "I get what your trying to say."
"..D-Do you think..." A deep blush comes to his face and his gaze shifts.. "..W-We could ever do that again?"
"Maybe." She chuckles. "It would be fun."
"..I'm sorry to interrupt.." Kid coughs into his hand, his face is flushed but not from blushing. "..But I think we should go before the nurses start to get here."
"Right." Maka nods at him and starts to walk away..
Only for Crona to grab her wrist.
"D-Do you really have to go?" His eyes get watery. "..M-Maybe...You could keep hiding under the bed..and t-that way we can always b-be together and w-we don't have to wait till visitor's days..I-I would l-like that so much...M-Maka won't you stay?"
"I can't Crona." She cups his face, leaning her forehead against his. "As much as I would love being with you all the time..I can't do that. I have things I have to do, and if I stayed Stein would find me, then I'd go to jail. Then he might not let me come back here.."
"I-I k-know.." He bows his head. "..I-I..I-I just wish you could stay with me.."
"I wish I could too." She lifts his head back up, looking into those still watery eyes. "I'll be back soon..Don't be sad Crona.."
"..I-It's hard not to be w-when you leave.." He sniffles, his face flushed. "..It h-hurts..right here.." He puts a hand over his heart, his body trembling.
"It hurts me too." She holds his hand, rubbing it gently. "But it will ok..I'll be back before you know it."
"I-is before I-I know it now?"
"No." she chuckles a little at his cuteness as she pulls him closer, giving him a soft kiss on the lips.
Crona gasps, his body heating up, melting by just that one kiss.
She pulls away, looking at his cute lips sightly parted in awe, his beautiful eyes looking at her.
"..I believe it's time to go Maka." Kid turns away..His voice sounds low.
"Ok. I'm sorry." She gives Crona a smile before she lets go of him. "Bye Crona.."
She turns and starts walking towards Kid.
"B-Bye Maka.." He speaks breathless as he watches her leave..The boy frowns when he sees Kid put a arm around her shoulder.
Crona bows his head..His bangs covering his eyes.
Maka doesn't notice as her and Kid leave the room, making sure to shut the door behind them.
As they walk down the hallway Maka looks around, slightly paranoid that at any moment a nurse..or worse Stein will just pop out of no where but it doesn't happen.
Kid is silent next to her..His golden orbs are hard.
There's a tension between them she doesn't understand..
Maybe he's mad about having to come and get her..
She's caused him some trouble.
They get into the elevator..and are silent as it goes down.
"..Must you do that in front of me?" Kid finally breaks the silence..He sounds almost bitter.
"What?" Maka blinks confused.
"..Must you kiss him in front of me?"
"..I kinda forgot you had a problem with it." She shrugs. "It's what I do to make him feel better..He was upset I was leaving."
"...Are you two dating?"
"No."
"..." Kid takes a deep breath before he exhales. "..You slept with him last night..?"
"..They turned off the lights." She averts her gaze.
"Oh.." Kid turns and looks at her in concern that bitterness leaving his voice. "..I'm sorry Maka."
"Don't be, it's my own fault." She sighs putting a hand on his shoulder. "..I'm the one who should be saying sorry for all this..You had to come here all early just to pick me up..It's lame of me and I know it."
"No..it's ok Maka." He shakes his head as the elevator dings.
The two get out and quickly walk threw the lobby and out of the front doors.
Maka almost shouts for joy at seeing the open sky, it being a light red from it being the beginning of dawn.
Kid locks the doors before Maka grabs him by the wrist and starts to hop around, running towards the parking lot.
She's so happy..She made it out of there with out going to jail.
"Wait Maka we have to-
Kid's breath catches as he looks back at the asylum..
This causes Maka to stop and look back.
No..
No way in hell..
Stein stands by the glass doors inside of the asylum..Looking at the two with a blank expression.
His glasses are glared..He looks like a creepy statue.
When the fuck did he get there?
Was he in the asylum the whole time?
Maka starts to feel panicked.
"It's ok Maka." Kid gives her a reassuring squeeze as he glares at the man. "He has no proof of us being in there..It would be hard to convict us of anything."
"..." Maka just stares at the doctor who is staring at her.
He stares a moment longer before he slowly turns around..He walks away disappearing from there view.
"Shit.." Maka puts a hand to her heart.
"I can believe it! You fucking did it!" Giriko suddenly jumps out from a bush that was next to them, giving them a sharp grin.
"AH!" Maka punches him in the jaw, causing the man to trip and fall back into the bush.
"What the hell was that?!" Giriko jumps back up, his eye twitching, green stuff stuck in his wild brown hair. "I come out here in fucking 6 in the morning to get your dumb ass out of there and you punch me in the face?! Do you know how fucking uncomfortable this bush is? I have fucking bristles in my ass because of you!"
"You scared the shit out of me." She glares. "You can't just jump out of a bush with a face like yours and not expect to be hit."
Kid puts a hand over his mouth to hide the fact he's snickering. "Oh my..good one Maka."
"I say fuck the both of you." He sticks both his middle fingers up, his face getting red. "Can't believe I did this shit.."
"It's not like you did anything but hide like a pussy." Maka grunts.
"Shit, I was fucking smart. They fucking have cameras bitch, I'm not losing my job." He snaps but he's getting more pissed off my the minute. "I'll be laughing when you both go to jail, I might just go to visit you to rub it in your faces."
"Rub in are faces what? That we went to jail once while lord knows how many time's you have been locked up."
Kid sneakers again, covering his mouth.
"Oh you think it's funny?" Giriko growls, as he gets out of the bush. "I'm going to- Damn fucking shit!" He starts hopping on one foot as he shakes one of his legs trying to get the green stuff off his pants..
He looks like he's doing a funny dance and Maka can't help but to crack up.
"Nice dance moves Giriko."
"Shut up bitch, this is still better then how you probably dance." He grunts as he finally gets the green stuff off his pants.
"I hate to break this up but..I believe we shouldn't just stand out here in front of the asylum..just in case Stein calls the police." Kid cuts in with a slight frown as he eyes the doors where Stein was.
"Oh yeah I saw that, what the hell is with him doing freaky shit like that?" Giriko turns and starts walking towards the parking lot, Maka and Kid following behind him. "Hey my keys."
"Here you go..Thank you for helping. Even though you were quite rude, I still appreciate it." Kid forces a smile as he hands over his keys.
Giriko stops and looks between the two teens.
"..Alright can yall tell me how the fuck you two are friends?"
"What do you mean?" Kid frowns.
"..Your fucking a prissy rich kid, while she's more of an animal then a girl." He grunts. "You two don't fit together."
"Fuck you Giriko." Maka gives him the middle finger.
"We do fit together!" Kid snaps a little to defensively. " Maka isn't an animal..She's a wonderful girl. We are different..but are differences are what brings us together."
"..Yeah what he said." Maka glares, acting like that was a snappy come back.
"What the fuck ever." Giriko rolls his eyes as they fall on Maka. "..Well I'll see you Thursday kid..or before that if I find out you went to jail."
He gives her a smirk.
"...Can I hold on to your sketch book till then?"
"Why?" Maka raises an eye brow.
"I liked the way you drawn by eyes." He shrugs. "It inspired me to draw something..so I kind of need it."
"Ok, just don't draw in it."
"I got my own fucking shit." He grunts before he walks away.
"..Is he really your friend Maka?" Kid looks over at her a frown on his face.
"I guess." She shrugs.
"..You sure do pick the strange ones." He sighs.
"Are you calling your self strange?" She smirks.
He pauses.
"..I guess I just did didn't I?" He chuckles.
"Yup..."
Maka feels someone one is watching her.
She turns around..searching for who it is.
Her eyes fall on one of the top windows..
Crona looks down at her from it..A sad look in his eyes.
He looks like an abandoned puppy dog..You know the one that's left when all the other dogs are a adopted.
He looks lonely.
Maka gives him a bright smile and a wave.
She can see the boy's expression change as he smiles back, waving awkwardly.
Maka chuckles..
Oh Crona..
"Lets go." Kid grabs her wrist and starts to pull her along.
"Ok.." Maka looks back at Crona.
The curtain is pulled now.
Huh..
"Am I taking you to your place or mine?" Kid asks as he leads her over to his car.
Maka doesn't have to think about it.
"Your place. If Spirit is home he will have a cow with me coming home this late.."
"I understand." Kid smiles. "Father will be delighted to have you again..and so will I."
Maka just smiles.
They are too kind.
"Oh Maka, Kid-o~" The mayor peeks his head into his son's room a smile on his face.
"What is it father?" Kid has a hand to his chin, his brows furrowed before he moves a piece on the chess board.
Maka smirks seeing an opening, she takes out another one of his pawns.
The boy blinks, but Maka can tell he's getting frustrated.
"Sorry to interrupt your game and all but.." He smiles sheepishly as he comes into the room. "..It seems we have to go hunting."
"Now?" Kid takes his eyes off the board to look at his father. "..but it's only one in the afternoon."
"I know but I heard there's a big one out there now~" His eyes lock onto his son's.
Something seems to be transferred between the both of them because Kid nods.
"I'm sorry Maka, but we will have to continue this some other time." He stands up, frowning down at her. "I must go."
"It's alright I was going to win anyway." She smirks as she stand up with him.
"Sure." He smirks back but it falls. "..I hate to leave you but..if you want you can stay here and wait for us to come back. We have plenty of food so help yourself." He digs into his pocket before he hands her a key.
"This is for you, it's a key to the house so if you ever want to come here you may."
"..Your really giving me a key?" She looks at it a moment before looking at Kid and his father. "..Aren't you scared I'd steal something? or break into your house?"
"No we trust you Maka~" The mayor beams. "..I know your not a bad kid."
"It's yours Maka, we love having you here." Kid smiles at her as he pushes her fingers closed around it. "..So if Spirit ever gives you to much trouble just come here, are house is always welcomed to you."
"Kid I-
"I must go." He smiles again as his father leaves the room. "Are you going to stay and wait for us?"
"..I think I'll go home." She sighs. "I'll feel weird being here with out you guys and I need to change my clothes..I feel gross."
"Well ok..but Maka.." He holds her hands in his looking at her seriously. "..If Spirit gives you to much trouble..Please come back here. I don't want you having to deal with that."
"..Alright Kid I will." She nods but really she doesn't know.
She doesn't like the idea of being in someone's home with out them being there.
It's wrong.
She shouldn't have there key.
"Good..bye Maka." He leans in and kisses the top of her head. "..Stay safe."
He walks out of the room.
Huh.
Maka stands there for a moment gathering herself together before she starts packing her stuff back up.
She doesn't want to go home.
But she has to some time.
Maybe...Maybe if she's lucky..Spirit won't even be there.
But..she knows he will.
She can just feel it.
Dread grips her heart.
Maka takes a deep breath.
She breathes in.
Then she breathes out.
Ok..She can do this.
Maka looks forward blankly as she opens the door to her home slowly..
The home she hasn't been to since two days ago.
"So you finally came crawling back." Spirit sits on the couch in the living room, looking at her with his eyes flaring.
His cheeks aren't flushed.
There isn't a bottle in his hand.
He is sober.
And that scares her more then if he was drunk.
He's never sober.
"I wouldn't say I crawled, I believed I walked in using my legs." She grunts closing the door.
"We have to talk missy."
"About what?" Maka watches as the man stands up.
"Stein called me yesterday." Spirit's voice becomes lower as his eyes narrow. "He told me you tried to see that boy patient again."
"..." Maka just looks at him.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Is it true?"
"Nope."
"Bull shit you fucking liar!" He growls, the man gripping his fist. "Damn it Maka what did I tell you?! Did I not tell you, you are forbidden to see him?!"
"You told me but that doesn't mean I'm going to listen." She glares. "I don't have to listen to you."
"Oh yes you do!" He takes a step froward. "I'm your father, you are going to do as I say! You live under my roof, you live by my rules!"
"Your not my father and this roof is also my mothers. I only follow her rules, not yours because your not my father and you never will be."
"Oh this is Kami's roof? I don't think so. I don't think you remember that she fucking burned down are last house and right now she's in a coma. Kami isn't here but I am. I'm the parent and you are going to treat me like one damn it!"
"Start acting like one then we'll talk."
"Maka!" He growls taking another step forward, his fist gripped. "I'm getting so sick of that. How am I not a father? I provide for you, I provide for your mother. I offer you love but you don't want it, you would rather spit in my face before you would hug me."
"A father cares and you don't." She stands her ground as he gets closer, his eyes flaring. "You didn't care about mom..You let her be alone for two years..while you partied and had to many whores to count..You don't care about me, all you do is drink and complain."
"I wouldn't complain so much if you would just be a normal teenage girl." He snaps. "What person likes to fucking go to a insane asylum? you practically make all those rumors about you!"
"It goes to show how much I despise you." She glares at him. "I'd rather be there then here any day. They might be insane there but at least they aren't pricks. Strangers are kinder to me then you are."
"You won't let me be kind Maka!" His voice keeps raising, he keeps getting closer. " You keep disobeying me! You crush anything I do for you with your cruelty! I didn't use to be like this, me and you use to be close. Remember I would read those books to you? and you would sit in my lap? remember I use to make you eggs every morning and bring them to you before your mother would wake up? Remember? That was us..What happen to my daughter?"
"No, what happen to you Spirt." She growls. "You doing all those things was so fucking long ago I barely remember it. What happen was you decided to hurt my mother! You decided to cheat on her! You decided to abandon her when she needed you the most! The only title you deserve is dick! Fucking ass hole!"
"Shut your mouth! Shut your dirty mouth!" His breathing is uneven, his face red with anger. "You don't understand Maka what I've gone through!..I had a couple of weaknesses..but I love your mother.. I love her-
"Stop fucking saying that!" She screams, gripping her hair. "You're a liar! Stop! Just stop!"
"Why do you think I married her? Because I love her! You can't decide my feelings Maka as much as you think you can." His eyes narrow. "You-
"You know I don't know why you married her.." Maka's words are bitter, her breathing uneven. "..Because all you fucking done is hurt her..You betrayed her, you abandoned her..you have done everything a husband isn't suppose to do..You made her cry you bastard..You made her cry."
"Kami would have done the same thing in my position." He growls.
"Like hell if she would have!" Maka's screaming again. "You know if you were the one to go insane my mother would go to see you all the time..She would always be by you when she could..because she thinks she loves you."
Maka's voice cracks but she continues.
"..She thinks she loves you..and maybe it's the closest thing to it there is but..you don't deserve it. She did nothing but give herself up for you and you don't do shit. You don't deserve my mother! You don't deserve her kindness you piece of shit!"
"Maka!" He growls, he's right in front of her now.
"..Why did she have to.." Maka trembles..Shes about to lose it. "Why did she have to fall for someone like you? My mother is beautiful! My mother is so kind! Your nothing but trash! You're a dick! You're a fucking ass hole! You made her cry, you made her-
Spirit slaps her across the face.
The sound echos threw the house.
Maka's head stays to the side a moment..Her brain not registering what happened.
Then it does.
Maka's whole face gets red as she lets out a battle cry charging towards Spirit.
She goes crazy, kicking and punching him everywhere and any where.
He would not fucking hit her.
She would not allow that.
She would fuck him up.
Spirit struggles with her, trying to grab her arms to stop the blows but she gets him a couple of good times in the stomach before he can stop her.
"..Alright..Alright.." He pants, holding her wrist tight. "..Lets just calm down Maka."
"Calm down?! Your the one who fucking hit me!" She screams struggling against him.
"I know, I know and I was wrong...I don't know what came over me.." He frowns, guilt showing in his ugly blue eyes. " I'm so sorry Maka..Papa won't do it again..I..shit..I don't know.."
"Your not sorry you son of a bitch!" Maka screams, still trying to hit him.
"Calm down Maka please alright?" He keeps struggling with her.
The door bell rings.
They both pause looking over at the door.
..They never get visitors.
Spirit hesitantly lets go of Maka to open the door..Maka stays back, with her arms crossed.
The man opens the door.
Maka can't believe this fucking day.
Stein stands in front of her door..His glasses glaring.
He is an omen.
Nothing good can come from him being here.
"Stein?" Spirit raises an eye brow. "..Hey old friend..What are you doing here? Is something wrong?"
" I couldn't get a hold of you on the phone.." Stein speaks slowly. "..I have some bad news."
Maka's breath hitches..
Wait this isn't about what happen?..
Then what could..
"What's the bad news?" Maka gets closer..A deep dread gripping her heart. "Is mom ok?"
Stein looks at her a moment..His face blank.
"I'm sorry to tell you this but..I got a call from Saint Paul's.." He takes a breath. "..Kami took a turn for the worse last night...They don't know what happen but..she passed away this morning."
"Oh my god." Spirit buts a hand over his mouth.
"..What?" Maka looks at him..Her mind is slowly shutting down..
She must have heard him wrong right?
There's no way her beautiful mother is-
"Kami has passed away." The man's glasses stop glaring..Her being able to see his eyes...There soft..almost sympatric. "..I'm sorry."
...Kami passed away?..
...Her mother passed away?..
Her mother is dead?...
Dead?...
As in not alive?..
Her mother is..
Dead.
Maka shuts down.
Everything shuts down.
...poor, poor maka... Please review and tell me what you think..but things are going to get worse as we get deeper into this story. thank you for all your support...till next time.
