Maka's heart is beating so fast..
She feels sweat drip down her face.
Her eyes shake as she looks at the home before her..this haunted place of death..
She doesn't want to be here.
She wants to leave.
"Make a choice.." The snake by her feet hisses looking up at her with it's piercing yellow eyes. " You can't have the boy with out the darkness or the chaos..to choose him is to choose madness it's self."
Maka trembles staring at the house..
Her brain is telling her leave.
Her heart is telling her to move forward.
"If you enter this house again you will have him..you will have him and all his darkness..If you leave, your leaving the boy as well but you'll be spared." The snake's tongue grazes her leg causing Maka to take a step back.
Maka's heart hurts.
"Make your choice."
Maka grips her fist.
She takes a step forward.
"I see..you chose the path of the damned." The snake chuckles. "Lets see how long you last."
Maka ignores the snake as she keeps walking closer to the home..The closer she gets the clearer she can hear crying..
The house looks haunted..it's eclipsing the sun causing shadows to dance all around it..
The crying keeps getting louder..
Maka steps on the first step to the front porch..
The crying has turned into bitter wailing.
With a shaky hand she pushes open the door.
It's pitch black.
She takes a deep breath before she steps in..
The lights come on.
Maka doesn't look down..she already knows what she's stepping in..
Blood.
It's everywhere.
Crona sits in the middle of it all, his body covered in blood..a knife in his hand.
He's wailing like a hurt animal, his little shoulders shaking so bad.
Maka tries to speak but she can't..
She walks slowly towards the small boy..being careful to walk over the mutilated limbs of who ever use to live in this house..this house that is now haunted with death and the crying of this little boy.
Maka stops right in front of the young boy..her heart hurts so much..her feet are soaked in blood.
Blood really is thicker then water.
"P-Please..p-please stop.." The little boy sniffles, clutching the knife in his hand. ".I-I didn't watn to do this..I-I'm so sorry.."
"..Crona.." Maka frowns and reaches out to comfort him, to hold him in her arms.
Suddenly a loud crying is heard.
..It sounds like the high pitch cry of a baby.
Crona's head whips up, his haunted blue eyes wide.
"N-No..o-oh no! S-She's going to be here soon!" He gets up and starts to run out of the living room, his feet making bloody foot prints as he goes.
Maka runs after him with out even thinking about it.
The little boy stumbles over his on feet, tripping a couple of times having to hold on to the wall so he doesn't fall.
He leaves his bloody hand prints on the walls..smearing the blood of the people you once lived in this beautiful home.
Now it's covered in blood.
Now it's haunted.
Maka runs after him but it seems no matter how fast she runs Crona is always far away from her..the hallway there running down seeming to go on forever.
All the while the baby's crying is getting louder.
She watches as Crona runs into a room at the end of the hall.
Maka pumps her legs and enters right after him.
The door shuts behind her.
"S-Sophia!" Crona whispers as he runs over to the crib, he leans his head down in it. "P-Please Sophia you have to b-be quiet! S-She doesn't know about you! Y-You can be saved..P-Please Sophia shh s-she will be here any mintue.."
The baby keeps crying.
Maka walks over slowly to see what Crona's doing.
The boy is trying to pull a small pink blanket over a small baby..tears fall down it's face as it keeps screaming.
"P-Please.." The boy is begging as he gently rocks the crib. "S-Sophia you must be quiet now..e-everything is going to be ok..s-she doesn't know about you..shh."
The baby doesn't understand.
It sees the blood that's covering the boy's face.
Even babies understand that's not a good thing.
"I-It's ok..I-It's ok..sshh." He's begging her as he takes a rattle from the crib and starts to shake it.
The baby's crying slowly starts to die as her eyes look at the rattle the boy is holding with interest.
"S-See? Everything is ok..s-she doesn't know..I-I won't hurt you.." Crona smiles down at the baby..A sweet smile that's ruined by the blood that dirties his face.
He hands the baby the rattle before he puts the blanket over her, tucking it so she isn't moving to much.
Then he starts to put a whole bunch of stuff animals into the crib to hide the baby.
He looks over his work before turning to walk out of the room.
Crona's breath hitches and he falls back.
Maka looks over to see what caused this out of him but..
She doesn't see anything.
But the door is now open.
"Hello Crona.." A voice coos..it's coming from where the door is.
"..." The boy's teeth chatter but he doesn't respond.
Maka hears foot steps come closer but she doesn't see anyone..
Crona sees them though and he's afraid.
She hears white noise around her for a moment..like when a old VCR tape is done the TV just turns to a bunch of static..well that's what's she's hearing..
The scene she watches twitches a little...as if it paused right here then restarted up.
"You killed them all?" It's a woman's voice and she sounds close to Crona.
"Y-Yes..j-just as you said.." Crona bows his head.
"..Hm? Then what's that?"
The boy tenses, his teeth chattering worse.
He bows his head.
"The bitch was pregnant they were planning on having a girl." The boy's voice changes. "Key word planning."
"How delightful." The woman chuckles.
"..." The boy grinds his teeth before bowing his head again.
"A-a]Are we going h-home now?" The boy askes nervously, his eyes shaking as he looks up.
"Yes-
The sound of the baby's rattle is heard.
"..Crona what was that?" The woman's voice is suspicious.
"I-I don't know..I-I didn't hear anything." He smiles nervously.
The rattle is heard again..and the stuff animals start to move.
"..Do you take me as a fool?" The woman growls and suddenly the stuff animals are flying everywhere till the baby can be seen..
The baby is holding the small rattle looking up at the person Maka can't see with big , green innocent eyes.
"P-Please d-don't!" Crona runs over to the crib, he looks at the person with watery eyes. "P-Please w-we can leave her alone can't we? S-She hasn't done anything wrong..s-she didn't go against you..p-please.."
Maka watches as the baby is lifted up and held like someone is holding her in there arms.
"What a beautiful baby girl.." The woman coos rocking the baby in her arms.
"Y-Yeah.." Crona's eyes get hopeful. "S-Sophia is really nice..w-we don't have to hurt her right? C-Can't we just leave her here?"
"Of course not."
Crona's hope is crushed, she sees it in his eyes.
"B-But..s-she didn't-
"Her bitch of a mother was blessed with this beautiful baby girl..while I was cursed with you." The woman's voice is sharp. "You disgusting piece of trash! Must you always disappoint me?"
"I-I d-didn't-
"Kill her Crona." The baby moves closer to the boy. "Kill her for me..make me proud of you..maybe I won't want to puke every time I see your ugly face."
"P-Please..o-oh please don't make me d-do this!" Crona falls to his knees, hot tears falling down his face..he crawls over and looks as if he's holding onto someone's leg looking up at them with those big, sad eyes. "P-Please..I-I can't..-I-I can't hurt Sophia."
"Your a disgrace." Crona is shoved off like he was kicked, the boy falls back with a cry. "I can't believe I acutally gave birth to you..that you came from me..it disgusts me so much. As soon as I laid my eyes on you I knew you would be a disappointment..I should have just left you in the garbage like all my other useless trash."
"I-I'm sorry.." The tears keep falling down the poor boy's face..his shoulders shaking so bad. "I-I'm soryr but..I j-just can't..p-please..p-please don't make me kill her.."
"Of course i'm not going to make you kill her Crona." The woman speaks in a fake sweet voice.
"S-So we can just leave her here?" Crona looks up at the woman with bright eyes threw his tears.
"Leave her here to what? You killed her mother and father..no we can't just leave her Crona.." The woman chuckles evily. "That would be a waste..no she will make a nice collection to my other guinea pigs..i've never had one so young though..I wonder how much she can take before she just dies?"
"N-No S-Sophia is to young! S-She wouldn't last a second with your e-experiments.." Crona cries desperately.
"..Hmm your right...oh well, I have another use for her." Suddenly Maka sees a large snake sliver up next to the crib. "Aw who's my baby?" She hears the woman coo.. "I have a snack for you.." She brings the baby closer to the large snake..it's opening it's mouth. "..I wonder how long it will take before the baby actually dies inside this snake? If I put her in feet first..maybe the acids would get to her before she suffocates-
"N-No! P-Please don't!" Crona's screaming desperately, his whole body shaking. "S-Sophia hasn't done anything bad! P-Please don't!"
"You know what to do Crona.." The woman coos. "You know how to save her from this horrible fate."
"P-Please..p-please don't make me.."
"I'm not." The woman chuckles. "I'm giving you a choice.."
Crona bows his head.
"Be that way." The baby moves closer to the snake.
"..I-I'm so sorry S-Sophia..p-please forgive me.." Crona's voice is no more then a whisper.
He looks up with tears streaming down his face.
"R-Ragnarok!"
The boy grips the knife and launches towards the baby.
Suddenly everything goes black.
Maka can't see any more..all she hears is that white noise again.
Everything starts to change around her..it's moving to fast for her to keep up with..
Like a tape rewinding..
And Maka's caught in the middle of it.
She puts her hands over her ears trying to drown out the white noise..
It's becoming unbearable.
Suddenly there's a click.
Maka opens her eyes.
The noise has stopped.
She isn't in that house anymore..
She stands in front of a bus stop..
A yellow school buss suddenly pulls up..little kids get out all smiling and laughing wiht there friends.
Finally the last kid comes out..
Her breath hitches.
Crona comes out of the buss alone..the only one who wasn't chatting it up with some one..
He wears that black dress..with little black dress shoes to match..he has a white bow in his hair.
he doesn't look like a little boy at all..he looks like a young girl.
The boy smiles down at the plant he's holding in his hands as he pasts her..
It's a small flower in a pot..the pot has a small heart on it saying 'Happy mother's day'
Maka's heart swells..
She remembers when she was young..they did the same thing once for mother's day in science class..
You would grow a flower, studying it and once it grew you got to take it home as a gift..
Maka remembers her mother's smile when she gave hers to her..it warmed her heart.
And now Crona is about to give one to his mother..excitement is shining brightly in those eyes of his..
Maka follows him..she can't help but to smile..he's to cute when he isn't covered in blood..
The boy's cheeks are tinted, the dress slightly swaying as he walks, holding the pot so carefully to his chest.
He turns a corner walking up to a brown house.
As soon as he saw it his eyes lite up and he began running to it.
Maka runs with him, watching the smile on the boy's face..
Crona throws open the door, with Maka right behind him.
"M-Mom! M-Mom!" He cheers excitedly, his eyes bright..
Wait..
Maka frowns..
His eyes aren't blue..
There black..
"What have I told you about calling me that?" A cold voice responds to him before Medusa comes out of a room to see him, her cold eyes looking down at him.
"I-I'm sorry M-Medusa.." He looks down shamefully. "..I-I forgot because I-I'm excited.."
"Excited about what?" She raises an eye brow.
"..T-To give you this.." The boy blushes as he holds out the small flower, it trembles in his small hands. "H-Happy mother's day..w-we made them in class a-and-
"This is what there teaching you?" Medusa snatches the pot from his hands, studying the flower coldly.
"Y-Yeah you just p-plant a seed in s-some soil and you can make life!" His eyes light up. "D-Do you like it? I-I picked out a yellow one because I-I thought-
"It's ugly." Medusa takes the pot and..
She throws it down.
The pot shatters.
Maka can only stare in disbelief..
How..How can she..?
"I-I.." Crona's eyes water as he looks at the broken pot.
"Don't waste my time with these pointless things." Medusa growls. "Any thing you create can not be beautiful. Life isn't something you create Crona, it's something you will destroy."
"B-But I don't want to d-destroy.." He sniffles still looking at the pot on the ground.
"Useless." She snarls. "..You are not my son, your a pitiful waste of a life like this flower!" She stomps down on what's left of the pot.
Crona can only watce her with tears streaming down his face.
"Clean it up." She throws him a broom and dust pan. "Throw it in the trash where it belongs."
"..." Crona bows his head as he gets on his knees and slowly starts to clean up the mess..the mess that use to be a nice little flower for his mother.
"If only I had a girl..I wouldn't be dealing with this.." Medusa holds her head in her hands. "..No..no it's ok.." A smirk rips out on her face. "..I'll make you of use to me.."
She turns her back on him.
"..Don't worry Crona.." She coos. "You'll soon have a friend..a friend for life.." She chuckles as she starts to walk away. "forget about life Crona, that's a part of light..while you are of the dark. You will only cause death."
She leaves.
"..B-But I.." Crona trembles his head bowed. "..B-But I made life..I-I don't want to destroy.."
No one responds to him.
"..B-But I guess the life I make..I-Is as useless and meanless as my own huh?" He trembles his words so bitter. "Y-You only think it's beautiful when I take away a-a creature's last breath.."
The boy holds his face in his hands as he cries.
"..I-I only want to make you happy.." He picks up the pieces of the pot slowly with shaky hands. "..B-But you wont'..I-I never will.."
The tears slowly fall down his face, his dark eyes are starting to turn..
"..I-I'll never make you happy with l-life.." He looks at the crushed flower. "..O-Only death."
"Crona.." Maka feels a tear fall down her face. "No Crona..don't listen to her..that flower was beautiful she is just a bitch!..You can make life Crona..your life is beautiful! she's wrong! She's so wrong! Your worth more then she'll ever be!"
She runs over to hold the boy in her arms but..
Everything disappears.
She's back in that forest with the starless sky.
"It's sad isn't it?" The cloaked figure stands in front of her. "..The poor boy..his mother didn't love him one bit did she?"
Maka doesn't respond..tears are still falling down her face.
"The boy's mother is so differnt then how Kami treated you..but at the same time they have much in common."
"Don't you ever fucking say that." Maka snaps, her eyes flaring. "My mother was nothing like that bitch!"
"Maybe not to you..but they are of the same kind-
"Fuck you!" Maka growls. "You don't know shit about my mother!"
"I know more then you." The woman sighs. " Oh poor Maka..you don't know anything about Kami do you? It's sad really. Kami kept so much from you..and now all this bad is happening to you..and it's all her fault-
"Shut the fuck up! My mom has had nothing to do with all this." She growls takeing a step forward her fist gripped.
"She has had everything to do with this." The woman sighs. "..Kami messed with the wrong people and she didn't have enough to pay for it..in turn all this horrible things are transferred to you..and yet you don't even know..do you?"
"Leave me alone." Maka pants turning her back to this woman.
"Do you even know what you are Maka?" The woman takes a step closer.
"I'm a teenage girl with to many fucking problems." She growls ."That's what I am."
"Besides that..your missing some valuable information.." The woman walks so she's in front of her, she holds out her hand. "Please..come to me..let me tell you everything..let me make you what you truely are Maka."
"I'm already what I am." She growls. "I don't need you to be me."
"Ah, but you need me to be so much more." The woman takes a step forward. "..Trust me Maka..I can help you..together we can get this curse off of you..trust in me.."
"Fuck off!" Maka growls, her eyes flaring.
"..Fine." She pulls her hand away. "..but heed this warning.." The woman starts to fade away. "..Be wary of the mayor and his son..there hiding something..they are dangerous to are kind Maka..step carefully..where you are now is truly the loin's den.."
Then she disappears.
Everything disappears.
Maka's eyes open..and she wipes the water from them.
..Was that just a dream?..or were those real memories?
..She hopes it was just a dream but she knows it wasn't..
Crona..oh Crona..
She hears a thump.
Maka takes a deep breath.
She hears another thump..it's closer now.
..Crona..mom..give her strength..
She's slowly falling apart..
But she can't fall apart..
She has to be there for Crona.
There's a thump right by her head and she hears heavy breathing.
Maka turns her back on it.
Suddenly the blanket is ripped off her.
Maka can't help but to yelp..it's never been able to do..that before.
She watches as the blanket is thrown across the room.
Her heart is beating to fast.
She's afraid.
Maka pulls her knees to her chest.
Its' ok..it's ok...
Suddenly something grabs her and pulls her out of the bed.
She screams and struggles with it.
It lets go, she makes a run for the door..
The lights are flickering on and off as she runs out of the room.
She keeps running, she doesn't stop..
The lights are slowly turning off as she pasts them..
She's afraid..
Oh she's so afraid..
This isn't good.
Something pushes her and she falls face first on the floor.
It hurts but she gets right back up, running.
She grips the necklace her mother gave her..
Please..Please..
She needs help.
Her hand tingles that's holding the necklace..the lights stop flickering..
Everything goes quiet.
Maka pants as she walks over to the bathroom..being careful not to look in the mirror as she moves to the sink.
She turns it on and splashes cold water on her face.
..She's going to lose it..
It's to much..it's so much..
Maka hears a sound behind her and on instinct she looks up to look in the mirror.
Someone is standing behind her.
Maka screams and turns to attack this thing.
It grabs her arms stopping her before she makes the hit.
"Whoa whoa there no need to get so violent! We can share the crackers..in a symmetrical fashion.." Kid mumbles, his eyes closed as he holds her hands lightly.
Oh..it's just Kid..and he's sleep walking again.
"Uh Kid-
"Ssh." He puts a finger to her lips. "Come with me..we have to stop those..hoodlums!" The boy turns and starts dragging her along with him..He's stumbling alot.
..They say your never suppose to wake a sleep waker so..what the hell is she suppose to do?
"They think they can just..steal my things!..after I work so hard to maintain..symmetry.." He grumbles as he starts leading her over to the stair case.
"..Uh Kid I don't think there down stairs." She shakes him lightly. "Maybe you should check your bed room..better yet why not check your bed? and just stay there."
"Oh your trying to temp me M-Maka.." The boy gives her a goofy smile, pointing a finger in her face. "That's all you been doing..temping me.."
"Temping you with what?" She raises an eye brow.
"Like you don't know.." He leans in to close for comfort.
"I really don't." She pushes him away from her lightly.
"..There you go..pushing me away.." The boy frowns. "..You pull me close ..then you push me away..pull me close..then push me away..I don't like it one bit.."
"..Don't we still have to find thoes hoodlums?"
"Yes!" He shouts loudly causing her to jump a little. He grabs her and starts to stumble towards the stairs. "Come, I know their down here! They think they can get away with it!..i'll give them a good talking to is what i'll do.."
"Kid I don't think we should go down the steps." She watches how he stumbles wryly. "You'll fall."
"I have the agility of a bat." He boasts but..that has nothing to do with falling..
"Kid really I don't-
He leads her over to the stairs..he takes his first step down it and then trips.
Oh fuck her life.
"Kid!" Maka grinds her teeth as she grabs a hold of the boy trying to keep him from falling to his death..they have a lot of fucking stairs. The boy is a lot heavier then she thought..and she's starting to get pulled down with him. "Kid you seriously have to help me out now!"
She hears him snore..
...He did not fucking fall asleep..
But he did.
That's why he's so heavy.
"Kid!" She screams in desperation, she's losing her footing.
Suddenly there's strong arms around her, pulling her back up with Kid, steading the both of them.
"Oh my that was a close one." The mayor sighs in relief as he takes the asleep boy away from her.
"Your telling me.." She runs a hand threw her hair...
Of all the ways she could die..
It would be so stupid to die falling down some fucking stairs because of her friend sleepwalking..
At least being taken by a demon is more bad ass.
"Thank you for saving him." The mayor looks at her with his eyes so bright. "..He's all I have left you know?"
Maka looks over at him, studying the mayor's far away eyes.
".. -
"..Maka?" He looks over at her seriously..his eyes changing. "..Are you toying with my son?"
"No, I don't know what your talking about." She riases an eye brow.
"..Don't you see what your doing with that patient is killing him? Don't you know his feelings?"
"Yeah I do, I know he doesn't like me kissing Crona..but it's just something that happens..Kid understands."
"..Does he really?"
"What?"
"Never mind.." The mayor takes a deep breath. "..Well you better head back to bed kid-o, it's not safe to be up so late.." He picks up Kid and starts to walk away. "..The darkness will start messing with your head you know? So better be careful.."
"..I-
"Good night~" He waves her off as he disappears down the hallway.
"..." Maka stares at where the mayor was with a frown..
..That sounded like a warning..
Does she really have to be wary of the mayor?..
She knows she doesn't have to be wary of Kid..right?
Maka starts to pace up and down the hall way.
..Could they be conspiring against her?
Maybe they know..they know everything..
Maybe the mayor wants her to sleep so he can kill her..
Maka grips her head, her breathing speeding up.
All the paintings in the hallway are staring at her..there laughing at her..
The laughter is so loud..it's driving her mad.
She looks over at a mirror in the hallway..
It's not the paintings that are laughing..
She's the one who's laughing..
And she's still laughing..her green eyes shaking around madly.
She puts her hands over her mouth to stop it..but giggles keep escaping her throat.
Maka can't stop laughing..
How can she?!
It's all so funny you know?!
Crona's soft smile flashes threw her head..
Her laughter dies down..as a tear falls down her face.
..It's all so fucking funny you know?
Aren't you laughing?
You should be..because it's funny..
The tears keep falling down her face..but the smile stays on her lips.
..They say laughter is the best medicine..
She's just having a overdose.
"Are you sure about this Maka?" Kid looks over at her as they stop in front of the doors of there first period class. "..We really don't have to be here if it's to soon-
"I'm fine." She looks over at him blankly. "I don't want to fail."
"Yes but.." He looks at her in concern.
"Stop worrying, I told you already. If you keep worring like you are all your hair is going to fall out." She rolls her eyes.
"..I can't help it.." He pulls her close to him, cupping her cheeks. "If you ever feel the need to leave tell me..and we will. I won't let them give you a hard time Maka."
"..Alright but..it doesn't really matter Kid." She sighs. "No matter what there going to act like they do."
"Maybe but I won't let them go unpunished." He rubs her cheek gently with his thumb, his eyes staring intently into hers. "..I really care for you Maka."
"..I care for you too Kid." She raises an eye brow at how close he's getting.
The five mintue bell rings causing him to pause.
"..Maka one of these days will you give me the pleasure of taking you out?" He holds her hands gently in his. "..I must tell you something..something I should have told you a long time ago..but I want it to have the perfect setting."
"..Sure Kid if it's really your pleasure to spend money on me." She grunts not understanding the smile she gets from the boy.
"It's always my pleasure when it comes to you.." He pulls up her hand and lightly pecks it.
Maka blinks.
She's not really sure what to say about that..
He's been really touchy lately.
"Let's go to class shall we?" He beams at her taking her hand and leading her inside.
There the last ones to walk in.
All of them gasp at seeing them.
"Whoa there back!"
"Why are they holding hands?"
"I knew the mayor's son was getting it in with the insane girl!"
"It makes sense..it looks like he needs more wild in his life, the dude's so stiff."
"I think she lives with him now!"
"I heard that too!"
Kid just ignores them as he leads her up to there seats, well aware that everyone is watching.
At this point Maka doesn't really care.
They take there seats.
Kid gives her hand a squeeze of reassurance.
Maka doesn't squeeze back.
"I wonder where they have been?"
"I told you fucking!"
"I know where the girl's been.." A familiar voice sounds causing her to look over.
Soul is leaning back in his seat with his feet up on his table.
He gives her a smirk.
"She's been hanging at Chupa Cabra's."
"Like father like daughter!"
"..What does she work there?"
"I bet she does!"
Maka gives Soul the middle finger and he just shrugs it off.
"Chupa cabra's?" Kid raises an eye brow looking at her.
"..Long story.."
"Alright every one shut up, class is starting." The teacher walks in and slams his stuff on his desk as the bell rings. "I'm not in a good mood so lets just get this over with."
Maka knows the feeling.
Everyone quiets down.
"..Ok today we are going to be learning.."
Maka tries to listen to the teacher but...Crona pops into her head like he always does..
She remembers the boy's hazy eyes of lust..the way he moaned and how red he got..
She remembers how the boy felt in her hand..how long he was..the pants he made..
Maka feels her body start to get warm..
She remembers his taste..
And the look on his face when the boy had released..how calm he looked..
She wants to touch him again.
She wants to hear him moan her name..she wants to take all the bad away from him with her hands.
His body was so silky..like a girl's but he's definably not one..
She wants him.
She wants him right now.
"Uh..Maka.." Kid frowns. "..You got a little something.." He points to the corner of his mouth.
She wipes where he told her realizing she was drooling..
Oh god..is she really drooling over that boy?
..She wonders if Crona thinks about what she did to him..if he gets warm thinking about it like she is..if it turns him on like-
"Maka..are you sick?" Kid puts a hand to her forehead. "Your really hot.."
"No, Crona's what's hot." She blurts out.
"W-What?" His yellow eyes flash with hurt.
"Maka Albarn since you want to talk in my class why don't you come down and do this problem on the board." The teacher glares up at her.
The class laughs.
Maka shrugs and gets up, walking down to the board.
She takes the chalk from him as she studies the problem.
2xab + 43b =200
..What the fuck is this shit?
They made math just for her to fail...
Like what the hell, why is there letters with fucking numbers?
Who ever created this shit was a jack ass.
She puts the chalk to the board.
Everything gets fuzzy..
Things flash threw her head..
She sees Crona..
His smile.
When he cried.
His laugh.
His eyes..
Those eyes..
Her hand is moving with out her really thinking about it..
She finshes and puts down the chalk turning towards the class.
"Done." She grunts.
"..What the fuck is that?" The teacher raises an eye brow looking at the board.
All the class mates are mumbling.
"What-
Maka turns around to look at the chalk board..
Her breath hitches..
There on the board..isn't a answer to the math question..
There is three vertical eyes staring back at her..
Chills are sent down her spine at looking at them.
"..That's fucking creepy!"
"What the hell is that?"
"I told you she was fucking crazy!"
Maka turns around to face the class..
Her eyes meet Kid's..
He's frowning deeply..his eyes shaking slightly.
"So what's the meaning of this?" The teacher barks.
"..Math sucks ass and I like eyes. " She shrugs.
"..Maka I think you need to take a little trip." The teacher pulls out a pink slip from his desk.
"Yeah get her out of here!"
" Erase those creepy eyes!"
"You don't like my eyes?" Maka giggles not able to help it as she walks over to the board. "..To bad.."
She draws another three eyes..she presses down hard causing the chalk to shriek against the board..a smile rips out on her face.
"Leave!" the teacher growls handing her the paper.
"of course.." She walks out of the room back wards that smile still on her face. "But my eyes will be watching you~"
"I-
Maka leaves before he can say anything else.
"Maka?" Kid frowns deeply looking over at the girl who is staring at her refection in the mirror...her eyes are blank and unblinking.
She doesn't respond.
"..Maka?" The boy gently grabs her shoulder.
She blinks and looks over at him.
"..Are you alright?..What happen today at school?" The boy's frown hasn't left.
"..I don't know what your talking about." She averts her gaze.
"..What were those eyes Maka?" Kid rubs her shoulder gently. "..I've never seen any thing like them.."
"I'll be honest I don't know myself." She sighs. "But i've been seeing them all the time in my dreams lately."
"..Maybe it means something?"
"I wouldn't know."
"..Come with me." He grabs her hand, pulling her away from the mirror in the hallway.
Maka just lets him lead her threw the hallway into his room.
The boy lets go of her hand to go over to his dresser and pick up his lap top.
She quirks a eye brow but doesn't say anything.
"When in doubt.." He sits down and opens his lab top, typing something in. "..Look it up on Google."
"Hell yeah." Maka grins at him as she takes a seat next to him. "Google is amazing."
"Quite.." Kid's brows furrow. "Ok lets try..'What does seeing a pair of three vertical eyes mean in a dream?'"
He types it in and clicks.
A lot of websites about dreams come up but..there not about vertical eyes.
"..Here we go." Kid clicks on one.
A dark colored web site comes on the screen..
A picture of those three eyes are staring at them on the web site.
"The vertical eyes is a symbol from a old civilization..they used the eyes to warn the people of someone they should be wary of by painting the eyes on there door.." Kid hums in interests as he scolls down. "..The eyes themselfs represent the eyes of a demon god of madness.."
..Of course.
"What's the things name?" She finds her self asking.
"It says here they called him Asura-
Maka trembles at hearing that name..it sent a shock threw her spine..
A dark feeling is clouding her head and it's getting harder to see.
"-The legend goes that the demon is the cause of all madness..and once a person has turned mad he claims them for himself.." Kid continues not seeing what it's doing to her. "The legend says Asura was put to sleep a long time ago by a powerful.." The boy takes a deep breath. "..By a powerful witch when he had tooken her daughter...even though he is asleep his madness still reins."
Maka's itchy..
She scratches aggressively at the back of her hand..the more Kid speaks the more it itches..
Her eyes are shaking and sweat falls down her face.
She can barely breath.
"..The eyes were used to warn others of a not mentally stable person..in this old civilization they use to burn the symbol into a insane person's hand to warn all about the disease.."
Maka's hand is really itching..
She doesn't understand..
She looks down and-
There's three vertical eyes imprinted on the back of her hand..the skin around it looks burned, almost melting.
Maka screams as she runs off the bed holding her hand.
"Maka? She hears Kid but she keeps screaming as she runs out of the room. "Maka!"
Her hand is on fire..
Her hand is melting.
She cries hysterically still screaming down the hallway..
Maka is grabed by the shoulder and stopped.
She struggles against them but she can't get away.
"Maka! Maka!" Kid is shaking her, trying to get her to calm down. "What's wrong?!"
"My hand!" She cries. "My hand is on fire! My hand is melting!"
"Maka your hand is fine.." Kid frowns as he grabs the hurt hand and pulls it up so she can see it.
"No please it!-
Maka blinks.
Her hand is fine.
There's no three eyes.
It's not melting.
Tears fall down her face as she hold her face in her hands.
..She's totally losing it..
And Kid surely knows that now..
"Maka.." The boy speaks her name softly as he wraps his arms around her letting her cry into his chest. "..Are you ok?"
"No." She wheezes gripping his shirt. "Not at all."
"It's ok.." He rocks her slightly like baby.
"No it's not!" She wails. "My hand was on fire! I felt it! I saw it!"
"But it's not on fire..your ok Maka.." He rubs her hand to reassure her. "It's ok.."
"Kid I can't take much more.." Her tears won't stop now. "I don't know what's real and what's not.."
"..Do you wish to see a doctor Maka? These dreams and hallucinations may be from all the stess you have been threw lately-
"I don't need a doctor." Her tears stop and she pulls away from him to glare. "A doctor can't do shit for me."
"I didn't mean anything about it Maka but you-
"I'm not crazy." She growls standing up with her fist gripped.
"I didn't say you were Maka." He frowns as he stands up with her.
"You didn't have to." She takes a step back. "I see it in your eyes."
"The only thing you will find in these eyes is concern for you." His frown deepens. "I don't think your crazy Maka..I just think you have been threw alot and-
"I don't care what you think." Maka turns her back on him, her arms crossed.
"..Maka I.." The boy takes a step forward with his arm out reached to touch her.
"Hey Kid-o~" The mayor suddenly comes out of his room causing both Kid and Maka to look over at him. The man smiles at them. "Time to go hunting!~"
"..Again." Maka looks between the two. "..You two have gone out hunting a lot lately."
"Yes, there's alot to hunt." The man gives Kid a knowing glance.
"..Can I come?" She uncrosses her arms..
She really doesn't want to be left alone.
"I'm afraid not." The mayor sighs.
"Why not?..Not to brag but i'm pretty good with a shot gun." Maka presses.
"It's going to take more then a shot gun~"
"What?"
"Nothing." The mayor turns his back to her. "I'm sorry Maka but I enjoy the father son time I have during hunting but feel free to stay here and wait for us."
He walks away.
"..It seems I have to go.." Kid looks over at her for a long moment. "..Will you be ok?"
"I'll be fine." She growls looking away from him.
"..." Kid frowns at her before he walks off to follow his father.
Maka is pissed.
The lights start to flicker above her.
..This whole hunting shit doesn't make sense..and because of it they leave her alone..
A vase is thrown across the room and it shatters.
Maka grinds her teeth...
And they never want her to come..
And those little glances they give each other..
They're hiding something.
Maka grips her hair as another vase is thrown across the hall..
Then it hits her..
The lighs stop flickering and the vases stop breaking as Maka slowly lifts her head up..her eyes on fire..
It's not even fucking hunting season.
Maka runs down the hallway and down the stairs determine to stop the two before they leave..
She is going to demand they tell her what the hell there doing..
She's tired of not knowing.
"Wait!" Maka shouts as she runs out of the house catching the back of the mayor's car going down the street..
Shit..
Her eyes fall on Kid's jeep.
A idea hits Maka then..a wonderful, awful idea..
A smirk rips out onto her face as she runs back into the house.
She comes back out with keys in her hands..Kid's keys..
He shouldn't have a key hanger in the kitchen.
Maka doesn't even think about what she's doing as she runs over to the jeep and hops in the drivers seat..
She doesn't have her license but hell driving can't be that hard..she's done it a couple times before.
Maka puts the key in the ignition before putting it in reverse.
She backs out of the drive way with ease..
So far so good.
Once she's out she puts it into drive and-
She doesn't turn fast enough, taking out someones mail box.
Maka blinks.
Oh.
She backs up again, straighten herself back on the road.
Maka glances at the broken mail box that she guesses is the mayor's before she puts the car into drive and floors it..
She has to catch up.
She'll deal with the consciences later.
Maka already knew where they were going..
To that forest Kid took her to see the stars.
She was smart and took a short cut..
That's why now she's hiding in the shadows waiting for the mayor's car to pull up.
Maka decided she shouldn't just demand to know what there doing..because most likely they will just lie about it.
So instead she's going to watch them..follow them and see what they really do.
What if they're a part of a cult?
Maybe there in a gang with the other town's people..and there planing on taking her out..
It would make sense..
Why else would they be so nice to her? and offer a place for her to stay?
They just want to keep there eye on her..wait till she's completely relaxed..or there waiting for the right moment to try to convict her as insane..
Maybe there doctors and this whole time they have been studying her..
Maybe she's not even here..maybe she's already a patient at the asylum..
Who knows?
Maka's eyes become alert as she finally sees there car pull up..
Kid and the mayor get out of the car..they look serious.
There both frowning.
Maka watches as Kid goes in the trunk and pulls out a bag of something..
The mayor puts a wooden cross necklace on before putting one on his son..
They nod at each other before entering the woods.
..Maka waits a minute before she follows after them..
She can't be caught..what ever there doing it's definably not hunting.
They don't even look happy to be here ..
Father son time her ass.
It's dark in the forest..
The moon is casting shadows causing her to jump every once in awhile thinking it's a person..
It's dead quiet but the crackling of the leaves under her feet.
Maka is more then paranoid..
She's seen to many scary movies with a similar setting..
This is perfect for a serial killer just to come out and start chasing her..
She has to stay calm.
Maka takes deep breaths trying to keep up with Kid and his father but..
With there dark clothes there hard to see and soon..
Maka loses them.
And she's lost.
Maka doesn't know where she is..or how she came in.
She is about to have a mental breakdown..
It's getting darker..it's hard to see.
Maka starts to run threw the forest, looking behind her every couple of seconds.
She bumps into something hard.
She screams but it's only a tree..
Geez..calm the fuck down..
She takes deep breaths..
Ok..so what is she suppose to do?
No one knows she's here..and she's lost..
Maka smells something burning.
She perks up.
Someone must be around here..maybe they can tell her how to get out!
Maka happily runs towards where the smell is coming from..
As she gets closer though..she hears something that sounds like a muffled scream..
..What?
She comes to a stop as her eyes fall on a clearing..the same clearing Kid took her to.
..What..the..fuck..
Kid and the mayor are burning something..
It's moving with a bag over it's head ..she at first thinks it's a animal but..
She sees the melting feet..the human feet and she can hear the muffled scream..
Kid is holding a bloody ax..severed hands by his feet..
Dead animals are all around them..dogs and cats.
..The smell isn't inviting any more.
It smells of burning flesh.
There burning a person..and there still alive.
There covered in blood.
Maka can't help it.
She screams.
Kid and the mayor look over at her, there gazes meeting.
"Maka?" Kid's eyes get wide with horror.
Fuck.
Maka keeps screaming as she turns around and starts to run.
She's running for her life.
There murderers!
She has to run!
"Maka!" She hears Kid scream her name..
He's running after her.
Maka's heart is about to stop.
She's being chased and she can't handle that.
It's dark..
She's going to die..
Kid is going to kill her.
She saw what he does..
He won't let her survive.
Maka's legs stop working out of fear and with a whimper she falls on her face.
Oh god..it's over.
"Maka!"
She looks over in horror to see Kid close behind her.
He's still holding the ax.
"No!" She screams as she gets up to run again but..
Kid grabs a hold of her.
She screams her lungs out, hitting the boy in the stomach but he doesn't let go.
He hold her with both of his hands..he's getting blood on her.
"Maka please you must calm down..this is a big misunderstanding..you have to believe me-
"Your going to kill me!" She screams.
"No..No i'm not." He says trying to calm her down. "Maka I would never hurt you, you know this! You just don't understand whats going on you-
"Oh I understand!" She shouts still struggling with him. "Your a fucking murderer! you and your father! and now your going to kill me!"
"No Maka I would never hurt you.." He puts a hand on her cheek, rubing it gently but he has blood on his hand. "Please listen to my-
"No! Let go!" She keeps struggling, keeps screaming.
"Maka you must be quiet..they will hear you!" He puts a hand over her mouth trying to muffle her screams.
She bites hard on his palm.
The boy yelps but he doesnt' take his hand away.
She is still screaming pretty loud.
"Kid you have to shut her up!" The mayor runs over holding rope..
Oh god she is really going to die..
Kid and his father are going to kill her..
"I-I can't." Kid's voice is shaky.
"Maka." The mayor speaks slowly coming closer. "You have to be quiet..if they hear you all of us will die."
She keeps screaming, biting Kids' hand.
"..You leave me no choice." The mayor walks over to her. His eyes are cold. "I'm sorry about this Maka."
She sees him lift his hand up before theres a sharp pain in her head..
Then everything goes black.
