Maka blinks.
She shutters as she looks around this dirty place..this dirty home..
She's here again..
Her eyes fall on the small boy in front of her..he holds a small brown kitty in his arms, smiling down at it with such a sweet smile.
Despite how this place makes her feel..to watch the boy play with this animal..to watch the joy in his eyes when the cat would lick his finger..
She can feel her lips tug up in a smile.
This is to cute..
Then Medusa comes.
Maka's smile falls when her eyes fall on this woman..this bitch.
Crona notices her at the same time, his eyes get wide with fear as he tries to hide the cat behind his back..
But it's to late.
She saw it.
"What's that you have there Crona?" Medusa gives him a fake sweet smile, her yellow eyes lighting up. "It looked cute.."
"I-It's B-Brittany's cat..h-he ran out of the house and..I-I caught him.." Crona blushes pulling the cat from behind his back..his black eyes shifting. "I-I was going to return it right away but.." He looks down at the small animal. "H-He seemed to like me..I-I just wanted to p-play with him a little.."
"Do you like that cat Crona?" Her eyes narrow Maka seeing that smirk starting to form on her lips.
Maka glares.
She has a bad feeling..
Crona doesn't see her smirk..his black eyes light up as he stares at the small animal in his arms..that sweet smile on his lips.
Those black eyes are throwing her off.
She doesn't understand them..did Crona's eyes change when he got older? It seems..she doesn't know.
"Y-Yes, I-I like him a lot." He gently scratches the cat behind the ear. "H-He's a really nice cat! R-Really playful..h-he likes playing with me."
"Hmm." Medusa walks over..Crona not realizing this bitch is getting closer.
Maka can feel a anger inside her..
If she's thinking about this right then she's going to-
Medusa suddenly grabs the cat by the skin on the back of it's neck, taking the cat away from Crona.
"I have a new game to play with this..cat." Medusa smirks at the look of fear that flashes threw his eyes for a second.
"A-A new game?" He frowns..his face getting pale.
"Yes." She walks away from him before she places the cat on the floor before him. She snaps her finger and a knife appears in her hand.
She looks at it for a moment with a sick smile on her face before she throws it towards her son.
Crona ducks out of the way at the last moment, his body shaking and his teeth chattering.
"Kill it Crona." She speaks coldly not at all caring she almost stabbed her own son.
"K-Kill it?" Crona looks up with big eyes..they shake badly. "B-But why? h-he's not bad..h-he hasn't hurt me.."
"Kill it." Her eyes narrow. "Are you back talking me Crona?"
"N-No! I-I just..h-he's not even mine! he's B-Brittany's..I-I have to give it back to them.." Crona pushes his index fingers together looking away from her.
"No, what you have to do is kill it." Medusa takes a step forward, her eyes flaring but then they dull back down. "Don't you want my love Crona?"
The small boy's breath hitches as he looks at her with his dark eyes full of uncertainty.
"Kill it Crona, and I will hug you. I will give you affection." Medusa smiles at him, her arms out for him. "This is your last chance to prove to me you deserve my love. If you fail to kill this animal you will be severely punished."
Crona looks at her..his eyes shaking so much..he looks at her arms with longing then at the cat then at the knife on the floor.
He bows his head.
There's a moment were everything is still..just waiting for what's going to happen next.
Crona walks over to the knife with this head bowed..he picks it up..holding it in his tiny hands.
Medusa's lips curl up in that smirk Maka hates so fucking much.
The boy tightens his grip on the handle as he walks back to the cat..the animal is licking it's paw unaware of what's it's in for.
Crona stops in front of it..his body shaking so bad.
He brings up the knife..
Medusa watches now with cold eyes, her arms crossed, waiting for him to strike.
Maka holds her breath.
The cat looks up at the boy and meows..
Crona tenses...then he sniffles.
He falls to his knees, the knife falling from his hand..his head bowed.
He didn't kill the cat.
"You disgusting piece of trash!" Medusa growls coming over to stand before him, the cat takes this chance to run away. " I give you one last chance to prove yourself and you don't do it! Your a pitiful excuse for a life! Can you not do anything? Were you made just to be useless?"
"I-I couldn't hurt him M-Medusa-
"You couldn't hurt any of the animals." Her eyes are hard. " You can not learn. If you can't kill a animal you can't be of use to me." She growls. "The only use I can have for you is a meal for my snakes! I'm tired of living with this disgrace! My child can not even kill a cat? No, your not my child. You're a meal for my snakes."
Medusa is walking closer..Corona is crying.
"I-I'm sorry Medusa I-
There's a thump coming from the other room..the sound of glass breaking follows after.
"W-What was that?" Crona grips his arms with the other..he still backs up from Medusa.
She stops, looking at where the sound came from.
Maka can hear foot steps..stuff moving around.
"M-Medusa i think s-someone's in are house.."Crona turns to look at his mother..only to find she's gone.
Everything goes dark.
Static noise filling her ears..
It hurts when ever this happens..
When the static dies down she opens her eyes.
Medusa stands with her back to her..she's over what looks to be a large pot, a book laying on a table..and jars of body parts.
Maka's eyes wander over to Crona..who lays on the floor..his face pale..his eyes fluttering open every couple of seconds.
He looks barely conscious.
Medusa is bloody..her hands are still bloody.
"This is it.." The woman coos as she takes some fingers out of a jar and throws it into the pot. It responds by making a bubbling sound. "I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner.."
She chuckles darkly as she adds what looks to be a chunk of dark hair.
Maka feels something inside her..something turning..something bubbling at watching Medusa mix the pot..at looking at the book..
It's a odd feeling..she's not to sure she likes it.
Maka should be disgusted right now..but as she watches her take half a lung and throws it in the pot..
She's not.
That bubbling feeling increases.
"You my boy will give me what I want.." She chuckles darkly again as she adds an ear. "You truly will be the beginning of the end..aren't you happy you could be a part of this? You should be."
Medusa does a stir before she backs away..
All the jars are empty except one..
The last jar holds a bloody heart.
Medusa flips a page in her book before she puts her hands over the pot.
"Snake-Snake, cobra- cobra.." She chants, her voice dark.. "Combine this, make it whole..Make it black as night..let it be stronger then the light.."
Maka's eyes get wide.
Her heart is starting to hurt..this feeling..
She doesn't like it but..
It feels so natural..so right..
It's scary.
The pot responds by making a popping sound and smoke comes up.
Medusa takes a cup and sticks it in..
She pulls it out..and it's filled with a black substance..
Medusa studies it with a blank face.
She turns to look at Crona..the boy still barely there.
Her lips turn in a evil smile.
"This is truly the beginning of the end.." She laughs madly as she starts to walk towards Crona.
"Get the hell away from him!" Maka screams and charges for her. "You crazy bitch!"
She just runs threw her.
Then everything goes dark.
Maka groans as she rubs her temple..
To keep switching..it hurts her..it's confusing..and she knows the scenes aren't in order..
She already knows where she is before she opens her eyes.
She's back in that forest with the starless night.
The woman stands in front of her with her arms crossed..
She seems pissed.
"What are you doing?" She snaps.
"What are you talking about?" Maka raises an eye brow as she sits down on the tree.
"Why haven't you unleashed your power! Why do you keep fighting it? Do you wish to be killed!" The woman grips her fist.
"..I don't know how to unleash my powers ok?" She looks away from her.
"That's a lie." She growls. "You have been feeling it plenty..but you try to ignore it, or to throw the feeling away!"
Maka knows what's she's talking about but..she doesn't say anything.
"Stop trying to fight it! You must except it or you will die!" She takes a deep breath. "Your power is already starting to leak out..soon the seal will be broken and your power will go crazy..you will be crazy from the overwhelming dark power..you must unleash it now before it's to late."
"How has it been leaking? Nothings been happening-
"It's been happening in your plain sight Maka..haven't you notice in times when your extremely angry things around you?"
"..Yeah the Demon starts acting up-
"Ah, but what's the demon's doing and what is your own?"
"What are you-
"Do you remember that lock on your father's door? How it just fell?" The woman tilts her head. "Don't think that was the demon's doing. He wouldn't help you out."
"..That was me?" Maka's eyes widen a little.
"Yes it was. Your power leaks out when your emotions are out of wack." She takes a step closer. "But your emotions have been out of wack a lot lately, and the more you have these madness attacks..the more likely it's all going to pour out of you and who knows? You may be destroyed in the process."
"..Tell me." Maka takes a deep breath. "..How do I unleash it?"
"You already know how Maka. you're the one choosing not to."
" Look I don't know what the fuck to do, if I did I would be doing it!"
"Maka don't play dumb." Her eyes narrow. "Your time is running out. everything is soon going to crash around you. You have enemies in the asylum Maka..they are on the demon's side. You must be strong..that boy can't protect you forever."
"How do you know all this shit?" Maka snaps standing up. "Who the fuck are you?"
"That doesn't matter." She glares. "Tell me Maka, are you going to unleash yourself? or are you going to try to hide from it like your mother?"
Maka looks away, a glare on her face.
"I see..." The woman growls. "..Well it seems you need a little push..in the right direction.."
Before Maka can react the woman is right in front of her..about to grab her but..
Everything goes dark.
She has that bubbling feeling again.
Her eyes open and..she's in that mansion again.
Her breathing is uneven.
She knows what she's suppose to do..
She has to open that door.
It's dead quiet here..
Maka slowly starts to walk down that hallway..the one that will lead her to the door.
Her eyes are darting every where..looking out for any sign of Spirit..
She stops in front of the door..
Her eyes shake as the bubbling feeling almost becomes unbearable.
Right when she's about to touch the door knob..
The door disappears.
She's now in a dark forest.
"Do you really think that is the best choice Maka?" Her stomach drops at the voice.
She doesn't look back..she just runs.
She doesn't want to look at him.
But she can here his awkward foot steps following her..he's running after her..
And she can't handle being chased.
Maka falls down..her breathing hard as she looks behind her.
Spirit's body is cracking as it hobbles after her..it's bleeding head floating close by.
Maka is about to shut down.
She's so afraid.
"What the fuck you doing?" Maka looks up to see Ragnarok, he glares at her as he grabs her arm and pulls her up. "When you see shit like that you run not fall like a dumb ass!" He growls before he starts pulling her along with him..
Maka runs with him but he's a lot faster then her so it's hard to keep up.
"Where's Crona?" She shouts as she looks back at the creepy head that is still following them.
"Always has to be about him huh? I'm not enough for you." He grunts suddenly and lets go of her. "Fine, Crona can save your ass."
"Wait!" She goes to grab him but he disappears.
Maka takes off running..looking around for anyone to help her..trying not to think about what's chasing her.
Vertical eyes are staring at her everywhere.
"Crona!" She shouts.
Her eyes finally fall on him but..
She frowns.
The boy stares at her with haunted eyes..a snake is around his body..staring at her with dark glee.
"I'm sorry Maka." He speaks slowly, his eyes staring into hers. "But it was always going to end like this. I can never say no to her."
"Crona!" She runs closer. "Help!"
"I can't." He doesn't blink. "Why do I need another witch in my life? No, you'll just hurt me. You can't love. You can't love me."
"Crona-
"Good bye Maka." He disappears with that snake.
Maka's left alone with Spirit..and there's no where else to run.
"Oh Maka.." The man comes to a stop close by her..his head grinning at her. "Your all alone now..see I told you boys were bad didn't I? Only your father can truly love you.."
"Fuck off!" Maka screams her eyes shaking in fear.
"That's no way to talk to your father...right Kami?" He turns his head, the skin ripping showing more of his neck bone as he does so.
Maka freezes as her eyes look over.
Her mother..stands looking at her with those green eyes she has missed so much..her hands together as if in prayer..
"..Mom?" She speaks breathlessly..her eyes shake.
"Maka.." She whispers softly as she starts to walk towards her. "It's been so long..hasn't it?"
"..Mom.." She can't move.
"See Maka? We're all together again.." Spirit walks over and puts a twisted arm around her beautiful mother. "We will be together..forever."
"Come join us..won't you Maka?" Her mother smiles..a smile that breaks her heart as she holds out her hand.
She wants to take it but..
This feeling..
"Why be a witch Maka?" Spirit grunts pulling her mother closer. "When you could join us? We can be together Maka.."
"Together forever." They both say at the same time..there eyes looking at her like they can see threw her.
Maka shivers and takes a step back.
"What's wrong baby?" Her mother frowns. "There's nothing to be afraid of..it will all be over soon.."
"Let Asura take you Maka..he will bring us together again.." Spirit's blood leaks.
"N-No.." She backs up.
"Don't you want to be with me Maka?" Her mother frowns..and it strikes her heart.
"..I.." She takes deep breaths..staring at her mother..the woman she hasn't see in so long..
"Come to me..my baby." She holds out her hand. "Don't be afraid. It's quick, I assure you."
Maka trembles..and shakes her head.
"..So you chose the path of the damned.." She smiles sadly. "My baby..I feel sorry for you."
Maka watches as the demon appears behind her parents smirking.
"Mom!" She cries as she watches the things scarves wrap around her..
She charges for it..as it brings her mother into it's arms, his hands going over her eyes so all you see is the vertical eyes imprinted on the back of it's hands..
It's smile is large and it's skin rips..
Her mother is smiling like him now..
"Your next sweety." Her mother laughs madly and at that moment scarves lash out to grab her.
Maka jumps.
She's panting.
She hated that dream..hated it so much..
It made her look at her mother..the one she hurt so badly..and yet she couldn't take her hand.
She couldn't just die..no..
She has to become a witch to save her self but..is it the right thing to do?
Or should she just..let the demon..
Maka doesn't want to think about that.
She has spent 18 years on this world..yeah it's been shitty but..all of that would have been a waste.
All the fighting she's done will be for nothing if she just gives up..
She can't..
But..
Can she really be a witch?..
What if she turns evil..isn't there a reason why her mother would abandon that part of her?
Maka's eyes scan the room.
Crona isn't here.
Ragnarok isn't here..
What time is it?
Was he not able to come?
She really needs to see him now..
Her eyes move over to the corner of the room.
She sees a dark figure in it..but when she blinks it's gone..
Maka's necklace is starting to heat up..it's getting hot being under her shirt.
She doesn't touch it.
A dark feeling falls over her.
She grips the bed, her teeth starting to chatter..
What is this..this feeling?..
It couldn't be the demon..could it?
Maka feels something sliver up her body..
She throws the blanket off to come face to face with a snake, it's piercing yellow eyes looking at her coldly.
Maka screams throwing it off her as she gets out of the bed.
She doesn't make it far.
Her floor is covering in snakes..and as soon as she stepped on the floor a couple wrapped around her feet causing her to fall.
They work fast..all of them wrapping around her..
She struggles but she can't get out..
The feeling of darkness is getting worse.. and she's screaming.
The lights start to flicker on and off.
That bubbling feeling starting again.
A snake slivers up to her face..it's yellow eyes staring into hers.
"You just need a little push." It hisses before it lashes out.
Maka screams..her mouth open and it..
Goes in her mouth.
She can't even stop it as she feels the snake push it's self deeper down her throat..
She chokes, her eyes fluttering from the pain and the feeling.
The darkness is over whelming.
She feels the tail past her lips.
Maka bows her head.
"H-Hey Maka sorry I'm late-" She hears Crona's voice but she doesn't look up..no..
She doesn't do anything.
"-M-Maka?" His voice sounds uncertain then panicked. "M-Maka!"
She hears his soft foot steps as he runs over to her.
She doesn't move.
Crona grabs her by the shoulders, saying her name over and over as he shakes her.
She doesn't move.
"R-Ragnarok something's wrong!" Crona pulls her into his chest.
"What the fuck-" She feels Ragnarok and he pauses as she feels his eyes on her. "..What the hell? I didn't feel the fucking demon!"
She hears him march around the room.
"Come out you fucker! You think-
Then he stops.
Crona tenses.
"..Shit.." Ragnarok takes a deep breath. "Fuck Crona do you feel that?"
Crona doesn't respond..but he's shaking.
"M-Maka what happened?" Crona grips her tighter, his voice panicked.
She moves..her hand twitches.
Both Ragnarok and Crona pause.
A smile rips out on her face..it's large and painful.
Then she laughs..it's starts out as a soft giggle..then it gets louder, and louder.
Her hand itches so bad.
Her necklace is on fire.
"M-Maka." She can hear the worry in his voice as she looks up..she doesn't look him in the eyes.
He gasps and Ragnarok gives her a weird look.
She knows she looks crazy..she knows how her eyes look right now..
Glossy and dilated..
This causes her to laugh more..
It's all so funny you know?
"Crona.." She coos still laughing as she stands up. "I'm sorry I can't love you, I'm sorry I'm a witch. You must hate me don't you?! You must want to kill me!"
She lashes out, not looking the boy in the eyes..
That bubbling feeling is unbearable.
The lights are going crazy.
"What the hell is-" Ragnarok gets in front of her but when she touches him..he growls in pain, the contact making a sizzling sound.
He disappears.
She's about to grab Crona..and she doesn't know what she's going to do.
But she wants to touch him..
She's laughing to hard now it hurts.
Crona's eyes flash and Maka knows Ragnarok has control.
He runs out to meet her, he grabs her around the neck and throws her to the floor, pinning her there.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" He growls as she keeps struggling and laughing.
"Everything is fucking wrong with me!" She screams into fits of giggles.
Crona's face scrunches up..his eyes lighting in realization.
"..That fucking bitch.."
"The bitch's the witch! and the witch is the bitch!" She chants still giggling.
Crona looks down at her..or Ragnarok looks down at her with a look she can't explain..
How can she explain anything right now?!
Suddenly his eyes change to Crona.
The boy trembles..his teeth chattering.
"M-Maka you can't let her win!" He cries, his eyes full of fear..full of concern..
One look into his eyes..it causes her laughter to die on her lips.
"M-Medusa leave her alone! P-Please..p-please don't hurt her..d-don't do this.." Crona's tears fall. "P-Please not her..anything but her.."
The tears fall down his face onto hers..
It's like a refreshing rain fall...cleansing her mind..
That bubbling feeling dies.
The lights stop flickering.
Her necklace goes cold.
She stares up at him with blank eyes..
His tears keep falling.
"Don't cry.." She whispers quietly as she reaches a hand to touch his cheek.
"T-This is all my fault Maka..e-everything is my fault.." He sniffles..his shoulders shaking in silent sobbing..his eyes are flashing with guilt. "I-I didn't know..I-I didn't know at the beginning.."
"What are you talking about Crona?" That dark feeling leaves her..leaving her with nothing but emptiness.
"I-
"You stop freaking the fuck out?" Ragnarok reappears looking down at her with this weird look in his eyes. He glances at Crona..a glare on his face.
Crona looks down and shivers.
"Yeah.." She speaks numbly not feeling so hot.
"You look like shit." He grunts studying her.
"M-Maka I-I'm going to lay you down ok?" Crona frowns as he gently picks her up..he holds her against his chest as he walks her over to her bed and lays her down.
He's so careful with her.
Like she would break.
And maybe she would.
"M-Maka do you want anything? anything at all?" He looks her over with those eyes full of concern..him biting his lower lip.
She doesn't respond.
This feeling she has..is to weird.
"P-Please Maka..s-say something.." Crona's eyes are getting watery again as he grabs her hand in his..his eyes shaking so bad.
Ragnarok stares at the two..his arms crossed..but soon he looks away.
She can't speak.
"M-Maka..w-what did she do?" His shoulders shake in that silent crying as he tightens his grip on her hand.
Maka just stares up at the ceiling unblinking.
"..She broke her Crona." Ragnarok looks back with hard eyes but..there's something in them. "You have seen this before. you know what fucking happened. She's broken-
"N-No!" Crona starts to shake her now. "P-Please Maka! p-please say something! anything! p-please Maka I need you!..I-I need you.." He cries louder. "Y-You can't be broken! Y-You can't leave me!..Y-You promised!."
Maka doesn't even blink.
She feels nothing..
It's like she isn't there anymore.
And maybe she isn't.
"It's fucking over." Ragnarok growls looking away. "..She got to her...at lease the demon didn't get her right? It seemed like a fast way to go.." He says the last part a little coldly. "She should feel blessed."
"N-No it's n-not over!" Crona takes deep breaths. "I-I know what I'm going to do!"
His eyes light in hope as he gets closer to her.
"M-My kiss broght her back before! I-it can do it again!"
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
Crona doesn't answer he just pushes his lips against hers.
His move desperately against hers.
Maka stares up at the starless night..
She's trapped in snakes.
But that's ok.
She doesn't have anywhere to be right now..
Or does she?
She can't remember.
"Things are going to get harder from here on out." That woman walks over towards her..
She takes the snakes off her, pealing them off carefully.
But here's this one large one..that won't come off.
"Are you really giving up? so quickly" The woman speaks quietly looking at her.
Maka doesn't respond.
"You could have been a great witch Maka..but you won't open yourself up." The woman looks away. "If you would have just excepted who you were you could have fought against that woman's spell..but look at you now."
She looks back at her.
"Your going to die. The demon will come, and you'll just lay here. stuck."
Maka doesn't respond.
"..Good bye Maka." Then she disappears.
Maka just lays there.
It starts to rain..
It gives her a odd feeling..
But then she feels..lips on hers..
Her eyes widen..
Something inside of her is swelling.
She keeps feeling those lips..
Then she remembers.
Crona!
The snake hisses as it lets her go.
"He may have saved you now Maka..but things are about to get a little more twisted."
A light takes everything over.
Maka goans as her eyes open.
Her head feels fuzzy..
Did she just wake up?
Her eyes look around her room groggily.
She's all alone..
Wasn't someone in here? or..was that just in her imagination?
When she tries to remember what happen..a sharp pain shoots threw her head..
Maka goans again and rubs her eyes.
She feels like she's forgetting something..something really important..
The door opens.
"H-Hey Maka sorry I'm late." Crona walks in nervously, a smile on his face, his cheeks flushed. "I-I over slept.." He averts his gaze rubbing his arm shamefully.
She can't help but to feel deja vu..but..Crona didn't come in her room today..she just woke up..
Right?
"It's ok Crona." She smiles. "So did I apparently."
He smiles at her nervously but he doesn't walk any closer, he fiddles with his gown, awkwardly standing there as he keeps glancing at her then the floor.
"You can come closer you know, I don't bite." She smirks when he tenses.
"I-I didn't think you did.." He mumbles walking a little closer.
"You don't know, I could be a wolf in disguise." She hums with a serious look on her face.
"G-Gah a wolf?! That's not possible! e-especially since we been.." His eyes get wide in horror.
Maka can't help but to chuckle.
"Come here and give my head a scratch." She tries to keep a straight face as she howls.
"A-Ah! W-Were-wolf!" He squeaks before he runs over to a corner and crouches down. "D-Don't eat me Maka!"
"..Oh so your scared of me too?" She uses a soft voice and looks away when Crona whips his head up, looking at her with wide eyes. " I thought you of all people would except me.."
"I-I do except you M-Maka! y-you just startled me.." Crona frowns deeply getting up to walk towards her.
"No, no you don't like me anymore." She puts a hand to her heart and fake sighs. "My heart feels broken."
"N-No!" He suddenly grabs her, him looking her seriously in the eyes. "D-Don't say your broken!"
Maka blinks a little shocked he got so upset at that..and Crona's eyes widen a little like he's shocked too.
They stare at each other a moment.
"D-Don't say your broken.." He takes a deep breath as his gaze shifts. "M-Maka I don't care what you are..i-if your a witch and were-wolf I'm ok with that..a-as long as it's you then i-it doesn't matter. I-I except you M-Maka..l-like you excepted me...D-Don't say your broken."
Maka pulls him into her, her green eyes never leaving his blue ones.
She's forgetting something..something really important.
But as she looks in the boy's eyes..
It's not as important as him.
She leans in and gives him a soft kiss.
"Ok..I won't say it." She whispers against his lips. "Because I'm not broken."
"G-Good." He takes a deep breath his face red.
Maka cuddles against his chest happy he's here..
She can hear his heart beat agaisnt her ear.
It's got a nice little rhyme.
"I-I think I had a nightmare.." Crona suddenly mumbles.
His heat beat picks up speed.
Lub-dub-lub-dub.
"About what?" Maka mumbles into his gown. "Do you want to get under the blanket?"
"W-What?" He squeaks.
lub-dub-lub-dub-lub-dub-lub.
"So you can tell me the scary story like I always tell you." She smiles into his gown.
"I d-don't think I would be at g-good story telling and.." He looks down. "I-I can't really remember what it was about but.." He shutters. "I-I know it was bad."
"I hate those." Maka grumbles. "I think I had a dream to but..I don't remember it either."
"H-Huh.." She can hear the frown in his voice.
There's a pause.
"M-Maka.." She hears him swallow. "..C-Can I..c-can I t-touch..y-your hair?"
Maka blinks and looks up at him.
He averts his gaze, a blush on his face.
"Whoa slow down there you pervert." Maka teases, smirking at him.
"I-I didn't!-" His eyes get wide in panicked.
"I'm just playing, of course you can touch my hair." She lays back on him. "You can touch anything you want Crona~"
Maka hears him gulp, his body becoming stiff.
Soon though, she feels shaky hands go threw her hair..gently.
It feels nice.
"Hey Crona?" She mumbles in a sigh. "Where's Ragnarok?"
Crona pauses mid- stroke for a moment before going back to playing with her hair.
"H-He said h-he had to talk with Medusa.." She can hear the uncertainty in his voice. "..H-He seemed really angry this morning.."
"Huh.." Maka frowns thinking about last night..
He isn't still pissed about that is he?
"M-Maka.." He stops playing with her hair, his body trembling. "..I-is it bad..t-that i'm happy your here with me?..W-When this is such a aweful place but..y-you make it so much better.."
"It's not bad at all." She looks up at him, a smile on her face. " This place is awesome..not because it's Dark Side asylum but because your here Crona. Where ever you are, is where I'm going to be happy."
"I-I never want to lose you.." He hugs her tightly..his breathing uneven. "F-For some reason..I-I feel like I almost did..b-but I don't know why I feel like this..n-nothing happened but.."
"Your never going to lose me." She hugs him back. "I promised I wouldn't leave you remember?"
"P-Promise?"
"Promise."
"H-How do I know for sure?.." He mumbles..his body trembling.
Maka pulls away to look at the boy.
He looks away, his eyes wide with fear.
She holds out her pinky.
Crona blinks, looking at her small finger confused.
"Pinky promise." She smiles warmly at him. "It's a lot more powerful, trust me."
Crona looks at her then down at her pinky.
"H-How do we do it..?"
"Hold out your pinky."
Crona does as he was told.
Maka grabs his with hers.
He gasps looking at this with awe.
"There.." She brings there enjoined hands up to her mouth and kisses his small pinky. "It's a promise. A pinky promise. You have nothing to worry about.."
Crona looks at her for a momment..before a wobbly smile comes to his lips..
Then he giggles..it's soft and it sounds out of relief.
It causes her stomach to do a flip.
"M-Maka?" He looks at her with those beautiful eyes as she wraps her arms around him.
"Yeah?"
"A-Are you really a were wolf?"
"Nope."
This gets her a playful shove, which causes Crona to spaz out because he thinks he hurt her.
Maka shut up him though.
By 'playfully' shoving him on the bed, with her on top.
Shut him right up.
Maka sits hugging her knees to her chest on the bed.
Crona just left.
She still feels like she's forgetting something..
It's starting to bother her.
Her brain still feels fuzzy.
Maka smiles a little.
Crona and her decided to do cooking today, and since it's not a visitor day, there's another activity after lunch.
Maka wanted to do the gym but Crona seemed to be afraid of the idea.
Something along the lines of 'Gah! I-I can't deal with all the sweat and smelly people M-Maka and w-what if..oh god with I-if I end up stinking in front of you! T-Then you'll hate me and i'll stink!'
So yeah, no gym.
They decided just to do cooking then art after lunch.
Sounds like a fun day.
The door opens.
Stein walks in with that note book of his.
Maka glares at him.
"Good morning Maka." Stein hums as he pulls out a chair and sits down. "Mind if I ask you some questions?"
"Yes." She grunts.
"Ok." He turns a page ignoring her. "Have you seen any changes from taking the medication?"
"No because it's not going to help me."
"Give it time."
Stein writs something down.
"So tell me.." He looks up his glasses glaring. "How you liking seeing Crona every day?"
Maka tenses at this, but keeps glaring at him.
"You two have been spending some time together." He hums a knowingly. "Crona seems a lot happier now that your here. He's responding better."
Maka doesn't say anything.
"And it even seems Ragnarok isn't as hostile as he use to be." Stein stares at her. "You have a remarkable effect on that boy."
"I-
Maka looks over at him to freeze.
There standing behind Stein..is the demon.
She doesn't know what to do..
"What is it?" Stein raises an eye brow as he turns around..
He looks right at the demon..but just turns around with this eye brow still raised.
He can't see him..
Maka bites her lip and shakes her head.
She tries not to look at the demon as he starts to circle around them..
If she acts up..Stein will think she's getting worse and put her on stronger medicine..
She has to be strong..
Her necklace is getting warm.
"Well I was thinking we could.."
Maka tunes him out..she can't pay attention him when this monster is walking around her..smirking at her..
This fucking bastard..
It knows she's stuck..that she can't do anything.
It's taunting her.
"...Maka are you listening?" Stein suddenly says, his eye brow raised again.
"Uh.." Maka looks behind her , the demon is gone. "..Yeah just repeat all that."
Stein looks at her a moment before sighing.
"I said soon I want to have a day with you and Crona together..I wish to take some more notes on this-
"Your not going to watch us like some creep!" She growls, her eyes flaring. "We're not ginnie pigs!"
"I'm just curious-
"Curious my ass." She growls. "Fuck off."
Stein looks at her a moment before he pulls out a bottle from his coat pocket, taking out a pill and holds it out to her.
Maka glares at it.
"Remember are deal."
Maka grumbles but takes it from him, takes the water from the nurse and swallows the pill.
Stein watches her take it..something in his eyes that if Maka would have seen she would have stopped what she was doing.
But she doesn't see it.
His glasses are glared.
Maka sighs as she holds her stomach..
She doesn't feel so hot..
Her eyes scan the other patients in this small room and really..
They don't look so hot either.
She recognizes some of them from art class yesterday like the twitchy one, and the other one that screamed and got kicked out.
All the other's are new crazy people.
Maka's legs shake impatiently as she waits for Crona to walk threw the door.
He finally does and it's a relief.
Her legs stops and she smiles at him, waving.
Crona's eyes fall on her and he blushes, looking every where but her then when he looks back at her he gives her a timid smile.
Maka chuckles.
He's still nervous around her.
Crona walks slowly over..being careful not to get to close to the other patients before he takes his seat next to her.
There able to share a smile before the teacher walks in.
"Sorry I'm late! You won't believe how big this place is!" A woman walks up to the front of the class looking out of breath, her blonde hair slightly messed up. "I think I need nurses to take me every where too! as much as I get lost..." She chuckles but all the patients just stare at her, that is except crona, who smiles.
"You know her?" Maka raises an eye brow.
"Y-Yeah, s-she's Miss Marie. S-She's really nice to every one." He smiles looking at the lady. "She h-helped me make that pudding I gave you."
Maka shutters.
If she helped make that, she doesn't think she should be the cooking teacher..
Maka studies her.
Huh..she has a eye patch..
Maka can feel her curiosity itch her..and she almost wants to raise her hand and ask what happen.
But she doesn't.
She has self control.
"Ok lets start-
The door opens.
Everyone looks over.
Girko walks in with...
Maka groans a little.
Oh hell no.
"N-No.." Crona wines a little as his eyes fall on that patient..
Patient 876.
His blue soulless eyes look at all the patients slowly as he's lead by Girko to a seat.
"W-Why is he getting out so much?" Crona mumbles..she feels him grab her hand under the table.
Girko looks at the other boy with a werid look in his eyes. He looks annoyed..The boy looks back up at him..
And is it her or..
Nah she's just seeing things.
"Hey Girko." Maka grunts feeling like being an ass to him.
This gets both the nurse and the patient to look at her.
She smirks and gives him the middle finger.
Of course his eye twitches but..
It seems the patient is more pissed off then he is.
The boy glares at her, his eyes burning holes into her.
Girko must notice this because he turns to him and says something.
She can tell he's telling the patient to chill the fuck out.
The boy huffs, actually huffs and looks away.
Girko grumbles before he walks out of the room.
"Ok well now that every one is here." Marie says in a cheerful voice as she grabs some chalk. "Now I'm Miss Marie for those you don't know me and we'll be cooking today-
One patient starts to scream, the same one from the art class so they have to take him out.
Maka blinks.
Why do they even bother?
Maka can still feel patient 876 glaring holes into her.
Crona tightens his grip on her.
"D-Don't look at him." He whispers to her.
Maka just nods.
He doesn't have to tell her twice.
"Today we are going to be making a cake! aren't you excited?" She smiles as some of the patients cheer. "Good now since this is a big thing, you are going to be paired up into groups of three!"
Maka freezes.
She has a feeling..
Marie starts pointing off the groups, Maka puts a arm around Crona to make it known she wants to be in his group, the boy blushing darkly.
When she gets to them she freezes, her eyes lighting up..there almost sparkling.
"Aw Crona you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend!" The woman sqeuals looking at the two. "That's so cute! I-
"Get on with it woman." Patient 876 glares at her.
She gives him this look before looking back at Maka and Crona and smiling.
"Well you two are in a group of course but I'm sorry I have to put such a rude person in your group but.." She sighs. "You two will be paired with Justin."
Justin..who the hell is that?
"O-Oh no.." Crona sighs as he looks over at that patient.
The boy is grinning crazily now...his eyes locked on her.
Shit he's Justin.
She knew they were going to be paired with him.
This is bull shit.
"Get into groups now, everybody pick a kitchen." Marie smiles as the patients get up with there groups and walk to different small kitchen.
Nurses are everywhere.
Justin gets up and walks over to them..Maka and Crona both not looking to happy.
"I will be the leader." He speaks confidently looking at the two. "It's obvious I'm the man in this group."
Maka can feel her blood boil.
He insulted Crona.
The bastard.
"Hey ass hole crona's more of a man then you'll ever be." She growls. "So shut your mouth you curly headed fuck."
"My my.." He tsks as he moves his finger in front of her face. "Such a dirty mouth, someone needs to wash it out with acid." He grins at that.
" Some one needs to fix that crooked ass smile of yours." She grunts.
"H-How dare you!" His blue eyes flash as he puts a hand over his mouth. "It's not crooked!"
Maka blinks..
His voice some how..seems different now.
"What ever lets start this." She grunts and looks at Crona who is looking at her with his mouth wide open. "Cat got your tongue again?"
Maka can't help but to smirk at the way he tenses and checks his tongue.
When he sees there's no cat he gives her a pout.
To cute.
Marie comes around and hands out some ingredients.
"I believe I am the only one who should touch the food." Justin walks over and picks up the bowl. "I am, obviously, the only clean one here."
"Fuck you." Maka growls as she goes to grab the eggs. "I can touch whatever I want-
Justin grabs her wrist,his soulless eyes looking into hers.
Maka stares back at him.
"You can't touch it..I haven't blessed it yet.." He lets go of her to bow his head. "'Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of god' Corinthians 10:31" He says this part fast and hushed before he lifts his hands up. "Bless this food oh lord, may your blessing help these sinners." He looks up slowly, looking at her. "Amen."
Maka and Crona give each other a look.
"Lets start, we're already behind." Justin looks at them coldly before he starts opening up the box of cake mix.
"We will do the eggs." Maka grumbles snatching them before he can grab her this time.
He doesn't look at her.
Maka looks over at Crona who is shaking slightly..obvious afraid of this boy.
She touches his arm and gives him a reassuring smile.
"You know you two are going to hell." The boy suddenly turns to look at them. "A witch can not make it into god's gates, and no less a murderer."
"I don't think you have any right to judge us Justin." She glares. "You don't know where we're going, you don't even know us."
"I know more then you think." He looks at her with those soulless eyes before looking away.
This jack ass.
Crona grabs her arm when she takes a deep breath.
She forces a smile for him.
They all work quietly for a moment, Maka and Crona breaking the eggs while Justin mixes the other things.
Maka smiles as she hands Crona a egg.
He takes it nervously in his hand..staring at it for the longest moment before he leans it over and taps it timidly against the bowl.
It doesn't even crack.
Maka watches him do this for a while till she takes his hand and taps the egg a little rougher causing it to crack.
"There you go." She smirks as he breaks it over the bowl.
"Y-Yeah." Crona smiles at her.
"Are you almost done with those eggs." Justin is suddenly right behind them, looking down into there bowl with is nose wrinkled. "One egg really?"
"Fuck off Justin." Maka growls sending him a glare.
"S-Sorry it was me.." Crona mumbles looking down.
"No don't say sorry, it's not a fucking race, we're making a cake." Her eyes lock onto his. "Chill the fuck out."
She doesn't know why she's feeling so angry towards him all of a sudden..the light above the stove flickers.
Justin stares at her a moment before smirking.
"Ah, so your evil soul is soon to be released? I see.." He turns his back on her and starts working with the mix again.
Maka feels so pissed off right now..
She doesn't even know why..usually she's cool but..not today.
"M-Maka are you ok?" Crona frowns studying her. "I-is he bothering you t-that much?"
"He's just pissing me off is all." She takes a deep breath to calm down. "Lets finish these eggs."
Crona looks at her a moment but nods getting back to work.
She feels that bubbling feeling..her stomach hurts.
Maka looks over at Crona and freezes.
The boy is holding..three eyes?..and putting them into the bowl..wait no he cracks the vertical eyes and something black comes out and goes into the bowl.
Maka's starting to sweat.
"M-Maka?" Crona frowns at the look on her face. "W-What? a-am I doing it wrong?"
"N-No it's just.." She stares at the eyes blinking trying to make them eggs again. "..I don't know but keep going."
Crona looks at her a moment before going back to work.
"What's wrong? Seeing things Maka?" A voice coos in her ear, her whiping around to see Justin smirking at her. "Be careful those eyes are watching you."
Maka can't respond because ...well she's seeing those vertical eyes in every thing..even in the boy's face.
"Your close to losing it, witch. Pick what to do now before it's to late." Justin keeps whispering. "Your in quite a pickle. The snake has her eye on you but at the same time all these eyes have there eye on you! Your in quite a pickle!"
"Shut up!" Maka screams and grips her hair. "Just stop!"
She waits for the nurses to come..or Crona to touch her but..
She doesn't hear or feel anything.
When she looks up..her breath catches.
Everyone is just standing..frozen in place.
Crona is still half way putting a egg in..
Justin is smirking at her..out of all the people he is still able to move.
"Ah, so it seems your leaking your power out." He studies her. " It's interesting you can do this without fully letting it all out. Impressive witch."
"Why the hell arent you frozen?." She growls that anger bubbling up. " How the hell did I even do this?"
"You're a witch." He then smirks. "I'm not frozen because I'm protected from dark magic..my lord Asura-" Justin's face scrunches up suddenly..a look of horror on his face. "No..no I mean my god..not..not.." He mumbles to himself his eyes shaking. "..I don't' serve him..but maybe I do..I don't know anymore do you?!" He pants.
"I don't know what the fuck your talking about." Maka stares at him. " Your just crazy-
"And so are you." Justin straightens himself out. "But being crazy isn't deadly to me as it is to you."
"I-
"I could kill you right now." A huge smile rips out on his face. "No one would hear you scream..I could make it look like a suicide..and then I could kill Crona..oh how i've longed to kill that boy-
"Your not touching him!" Maka shouts, a pot is thrown across the room at her voice.
"You shouldn't be so protective of him." The boy hums. "Especially after all the things he's done to you."
"What the hell you talking about?" Maka growls.
"Oh poor witch you don't know..do you?" Justin tilts his head that smirk on his face. "Crona has betrayed you. From the very begining he betrayed you and you don't even know it. You treat him highly but yet he is a big part of your sorrow."
"I don't believe you." She glares. "Crona hasn't done anything to me."
"You really are stupid aren't you?" Justin sighs. " I'm sure if you can think back Maka..there was a time he almost killed you."
"That was Ragnarok-
"No, it was all the boy.." Justin smirks. "Don't you remember Maka..that punch?"
She tenses at the memory.
"Don't be so clueless." He taps a finger to his head. "You don't know anything about this boy-
"I know everything about him." Maka growls her anger returning.
"Please." He cracks his neck. "You don't know what you have gotten yourself into."
"I-
That's when everything unfreezes.
Everyone starts moving again
Maka lets a breath out.
"So Crona.." Justin suddenly leans over closer to the boy causing him to tense up and look at him. "Talk to your mother recently?"
Crona tenses..but his eyes narrow.
"Justin fuck off-" Maka growls.
"She's been doing good hasn't she? Both of you have been in good commutation..oh yes." He smirks. "What are you going to do with the witch? make some more punch?"
Crona drops the bowl of eggs, his eyes geting wide with fear as he whips his head to look at the other boy.
Justin smirks at him..his eyes lighting up in glee.
"You still want your mother's love don't you?' Justin's smirk grows. "You'll do anything to get it won't you? Even-
Maka grabs the bowl of mix and dumps it over his head.
Her anger is bubbling over at seeing how Crona looks at him..with a mix of hurt and fear.
"Fuck the hell off Justin! You don't say shit like that to him!" She growls her eyes on fire. "You don't know anything about him! Stay out of are business."
"Oh...you witch." The boy looks up with the mix dripping off his hair..a large smirk ripping out on his face. "You will die. By my hands. I will murder you."
"You won't do shit!" She shouts, gripping her fist.
Crona is just staring at her with wide eyes..probably not believing she dumped mix over this crazy patient's head..
Well she's fucking crazy too.
"So where's your cake, guys?" Miss Marie comes over with a cheerful smile on her face.
"Right there." Maka grunts pointing to Justin.
Her eyes flash in alarm as she watches the boy clean himself off.
"What happened?!"
"Justin has such a fat ass head that he leaned a over to much and fell in." She grunts.
"A liar as well." Justin coos. "Your sins keep piling up and up."
"W-Well." Marie hums nervously. "..Lets uh..lets.." She motions for the nurses. "Get you cleaned up Justin."
The boy's eyes go soulless as he stares at Maka.
"Your time is coming. I just hope I get to you first before he does." Justin chuckles darkly as the nurses start to lead him out.
Maka takes a deep breath.
"M-Maka.." Crona lightly grabs her arm. She looks over at him. His eyes are shaking..he looks uncertain. "..W-Where did that come from?"
"He was being a dick to us the whole time." Maka grunts. "He deserved it."
"Y-You just seem really angry-
"So?" She snaps causing Crona to squeak in alarm and tense.
Maka frowns when she sees the hurt in his eyes.
She sighs.
'Sorry Crona..I just don't feel to good is all.."
"O-Oh I'm sorry to hear that." Crona frowns and reaches out a shaky hand..touching her face.
Is it weird..she has the urge to bite his hand..
Just bite it..
Maybe it would hurt him a lot, maybe he would cry..
Who knows it might feel good? Maybe he likes pain..
Maka's lips start to twich up into a weird smile.
"M-Maka?" Crona rubs her cheek..his eyes flashing with worry.
Maka frowns.
"Yeah..i'm sorry." She grabs his hand. "I don't know what's wrong with me today.."
"A-Are you sick?" Crona gets closer looking at her face. "Y-You do look red..o-oh god Maka are you sick! Are you dying?! p-please tell me no!"
Maka blinks as Crona freaks out..
Then she smiles..a real smile.
"Maybe I am dying.." She groans, putting a hand to her forehead to be dramatic with it.
"N-No! y-you pinky promised!" He sniffles his eyes getting watery as he grabs a hold of her.
"You know how to make me better." She whispers.
Crona blinks.
Then he nods, his face flushed but there's a determined look in his eyes.
He leans in and kisses her..
All the bad leaves her and she clings to him, begging him to deepen the kiss.
He trembles but he licks her lip, she opens for him, there tongues brushing against each other..
A great desire fills Maka..she wants him now.
She wants to just throw him over the counter and fuck him.
She wants to taste the salt in his sweat, and her his sweet moans.
Maybe she could burn him a little..put him under the stove..watch his skin melt under the flames..
Maka's breath hitches and she pulls away from Crona in alarm.
What kind of fucked up thoughts were those?! What's wrong with her today?!
Crona looks at her confused but..
Maka looks away..
She's ashamed.
She's so ashamed but..
Thinking those thoughts almost didn't feel wrong..
Like it was ok to think about burning Crona..and liking that.
But it's not ok.
She doesn't know what's wrong with her..
Crona is looking at her now with that frown on his face.
She could make him smile.
All she has to do is take that knife and..
Her eyes widen, that bubbling feeling is over powering.
What the fuck?!
Just stop thinking!
Something's wrong!
Maka looks away from him.
"M-Maka.." Crona walks over..placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.
She wonders how much force it would take to break his hand..
Her breath hitches.
"Bathroom!" She suddenly shouts causing Crona to jump at the outburst.
The nurses all look at her but don't move.
"For fucks sake someone take me to the bathroom!" She growls and this gets a couple of them moving.
They grab her and lead her out..
She can't look at Crona.
Maka breathes in.
Maka breathes out.
Water drips off her face as she pants, staring into the bathroom mirror.
Just..what's wrong with her?
She can't get these..aweful thoughts out of her head..
The worse part is there all about Crona..
The boy she cherishes most..
Yet she's thinking about hurting him..
But worse of all she's liking it.
Maka splashes more water on her face..her breathing is uneven.
"This isnt' me..this isnt' me.." Maka whispers to herself.
"But it is Maka."
Her breath hitches at the voice..
No way in hell..
She doesn't look up.
"It's your nature..don't fight it." She can hear the smirk in her voice. "Your a witch my dear, these thoughts are normal..let them flow.."
"No!" Maka shouts and looks up at the mirror. "It's not me you fucking bitch!"
Medusa smirks, leaning against the bathroom door with her arms crossed.
"Maka my dear, stop fighting it." Medusa's smirk hasn't fallen. " So what if you want to hurt my boy? It's natural. Your are evil Maka, of course you would want to hurt him and the fact he's close to you..makes it all the more appealing does it not?"
Maka looks down, panting, not responding to her.
"It's ok." She coos. "Let it out Maka..let your evil heart do as it desires. You'll feel better in the end, and Crona would never leave you. You could smack him around..you could do anything and he would come crying back to you Maka. He is yours, you have said so yourself-
"Stop." Maka trembles, gripping the sink. "Just fucking stop!"
The horrible part about this..is she can feel her lips tug in a smile at her words.
She liked what she said.
She liked the idea.
This isn't her..it can't be her..
"Maka.." Medusa tilts her head. "You keep fighting it. You truly don't want me to stop. You like my words. I can see right threw you my dear.." Her smirk grows into a sick smile. "After all you and I are one in the same. We are of the same kind. You are just like me-
"I'm nothing like you!" She screams, truning around with her fist gripped but..
Medusa is gone.
"Are you so sure about that?" She reappears next to her, Maka tries to hit her but she disappears again.
"It's stupid to fight it.." She hears Medusa's voice but she doesn't see her.
"Shut the fuck up!" Maka screams, marching around the bathroom looking for her.
"You want to hurt Crona..you want to make him scream in pain, you want to taste his tears, taste his blood.." Medusa's voice is getting darker and darker.
"Just stop!" She screams falling to her knees, gripping her hair. "Please make it stop!"
"You can make this stop..just give in to who you really are.." Medusa reappears in front of her, holding out her hand. "Join me Maka. I can make you into a great witch, better then your mother. You will have all that your dark heart desires..My son is yours for the taking. " She purrs. "Together we can stop this demon, we can break this curse my dear..just take my hand."
"I'd rather die!" She growls gripping her hair looking away from her. "If this is what it means to be a witch..to think these horrible things..to want to do these things..I don't want to be it. I' d rather fucking die before I hurt Crona."
"That's a lie. You want to hurt Crona very much." Medusa smirks.
"No I don't! I don't at all!" She screams.
"Your face is saying other wise.." Suddenly Medusa holds out a mirror.
Maka is grinning from ear to ear..her eyes shaking and dilated.
"You like the idea of hurting Crona, of being a witch, of being powerful." She smirks as she disappears to talk to her threw the mirror. " Give in Maka. You can have it all. We can have it all. Give in to your desires, we are selfish creatures. Why does it matter if Crona gets hurt in the process? You don't love him. He isn't your problem. Why not save yourself Maka?"
"Shut the fuck up!" Maka screams before she punches the mirror.
Her breath hisses as the glass shatters on her hand, cutting it up.
She pants as she bleeds..but she doesn't move.
"My dear..such hate in your heart.." Medusa reappears in front of her. "You are a child I wish I would have had...Kami tried to waste such a prize.."
Maka looks away from her glaring..her hand still bleeding.
"Think about what I said my dear.." Medusa grabs her hand, she rubs it a little and it burns.
Maka hisses and pulls away only to find..
Her hand is completely healed.
"Think about it Maka.." Medusa whispers before she disappears..
Maka grips her fist and bows her head..
..This is really what she is? this evil creature?
Is it bad she's even considering her offer?
She's Medusa! She's tortured Crona! Made him kill people and treated him like shit!
But she also was her mother's best freind..she's offering her a way out of her death..
And all at the same time..this feeling she has..
She can only describe it as a desire for chaos..
Maka's lips rip out into a smile.
Crona's smile flashes threw her head.
She frowns gripping her hair.
She can't see him.
She will hurt him.
She's evil...
This is what she is.
Maka's trying to hide..trying to be hidden.
She doesn't want to see Crona.
She can't.
Her head hurts.
Her heart hurts.
Two different sides are fighting it out inside her.
And she's scared of who the winner is to be.
Maka snuggles herself in line with the patients..hoping it will add some coveraged.
She can't see him.
If she does..
She doesn't know..she just can't see him.
Maka takes a deep breath as she gets to the front of the line..
She takes more time then necessary to pick out something to eat..which happens to be a cheeseburger.
Maka takes her tray and freezes.
If she walks out into the cafeteria..if Crona's already there he will see her..
Maybe she could just..chill here..
Yeah that sounds good-
Someone shoves her out of the line..out of ther protection, into the cafeteria.
Maka whips around glaring only to find Justin smirking at her.
"What's wrong witch? You hiding from someone?." He keeps smirking.
Maka can feel her anger bubble up, her fingers are starting to twitch.
"You can rip him apart Maka..just say the words..let your hate rain out." She can hear that snake's voice in her head.
Maka bows her head..a smile starting to form on her lips.
"I would watch what you do here.." Justin bumps into her as he walks past her. "You don't want the nurses getting tense do you?"
Maka keeps her head bowed taking deep breaths.
She has to stay calm.
She has to find somewhere to hide.
Maka looks up.
Damn it.
Crona has just looked up from his plate of food..his blue eyes widen a little..he blushes and gives her a awkward wave.
He looks at her expectantly but she just stands there.
Of course he would be expecting her to sit with him..but..
Maka's eyes shift as she looks for a escape from this.
There's a empty table in the corner..
She could seat there but..
Maka frowns looking back at Crona who is looking at her uncertainly now..
If she were to sit away from him..it would hurt him.
It would make him sad..
He's starting to tremble as she looks away from him.
It might even break him.
Maka feels her lips tug in that crazy smile at the thought but she quickly bites her lip hard..
She's sure she tastes blood.
This is why she can't be near him..
These thoughts are horrible..and yet it makes her happy.
She could handle it if it was thoughts about anyone else but..not Crona..
She can't hurt him.
But anything she does will..
If she hides from him..he will be hurt..
But if she stays around him..she will end up hurting him..
So Maka just stands there like an idiot, not looking at the boy.
She's evil.
"M-Maka..." She hears his soft voice somehow..it sounds so weak..fearful.
Her body moves with out her telling it too..
Maka walks over to Crona and sits down next to him, looking down at her food.
"A-Are you ok Maka?" Crona gets closer to her and her breathing becomes uneven.
He's so concerned about her..
She could break him, it would be so easy to shatter his fragile mind-
Maka grips the table before she picks up her burger and shoves it into her mouth, eating like an animal.
Crona's eyes widen a little as he watches her attack her sandwhich.
"..Y-You hungry?" He mumbles when she finished it.
Maka doesn't respond.
"Y-You can have mine if you want.." Crona pushes his plate over towards her.
Maka looks over at it..her eyes blank.
He's so sweet..to sweet.
She could make him cry.
It would be so easy.
All she has to do is say one mean thing..and he will crumble.
Or she could just walk away.
Maka can feel her lips tug up into that smile but she bites it again causing her to yelp a little.
"M-Maka your bleeding!" Crona moves close, Maka being to hear the concern in his voice as a shaky finger touches her lip, wiping the blood.
She grabs her seat trying to fight the urge to bite him..to bite his finger..to taste his blood.
"It's ok." She speaks lowly as she grabs his wrist, shoving his hand off her.
"Are you s-sure? M-Maka it looks like you have a gash-
"I said it's ok!" She growls, feeling the boy tense next to her.
A sharp pain of guilt hits her but..she doesn't look at him.
"..O-Ok.." Crona's voice is soft. "I-I'm sorry Maka..I-I didn't mean to make you a-angry with me, I-
"It's fine." She snaps before pushing his plate back over to him. "Eat your damn food Crona, I don't need it."
Maka is angry..but she's angry at herself.
She can't fight these feelings..she feels so irritated.
"O-O-Ok.." Crona is shaking against her now..she heard the crack in his voice.
Maka doesn't look at him.
Instead she looks up.
Justin is staring at her...with that fucking smirk on his face.
She wants to bash his face in, take one of these plates and smash it against his him till his face is gone in a bloody pulp.
And then there's all these other patients..and the nurses..
Just looking at all there faces..pisses her off.
"You want chaos Maka..let your dark heart have what it wants." Medusa's voice coos.
That smile comes to her face..and this time she doesn't bite her lip.
She wants to break all these tables, wants to hear all the screams of the nurses and patients, she wants to paint the white walls red with blood.
Maka giggles..her shoulders shaking in spasms.
"M-Maka.." She feels Crona's hand touch her's gently.
She tenese completely, her shaking eyes looking at it.
Maka has a thought flash threw her head...Crona is cut up..tears streaming down his face as she takes a hammer and starting at the hands she-
She takes his hand off her.
"Don't touch me!" She growls, her finally looking at him with a dangerous look in her eyes. "Don't fucking touch me!"
"W-W-What?" Crona's eyes widden as he looks at her with those blue eyes shaking. "W-What did I-
"Dont' touch me! Don't look at me! just.." She looks away from the boy who's eyes are getting watery.
She bows her head.
"Crona listen to me.." She mumbles. "I want you to leave me alone. Stay away from me."
"W-What? W-Why Maka?" Crona's teeth are chattering and she knows he's reaching out to touch her.
She smacks his hand away.
" I said don't touch me!" She shouts, her heart hurting so much..but another part of her..
Likes this.
"W-What's wrong Maka? W-Why do yoou want me to stay away?" His voice is shaky. "W-We're friends..y-you said you wouldn't leave me..w-we pinky promised-
"Well I lied." She growls. "We're not freinds Crona. Not anymore."
"M-Maka w-why-
"I don't need a reason. Just leave me the fuck alone aright? Don't try to see me. just forget about us even meeting alright?" She keeps her voice hard..but this hurts.
"I-I can't!" Crona is shouting now..his voice cracking. "I-I can't just forget about you! y-you..a-after everything..I-I can't! I-I love you M-Maka..I-I can't stay away..p-please tell me what's wrong..p-please tell me what i've done..a-and I-"
"It's nothing you have done. It's me. All me." She grips her fist. "Crona loving me is a waste. You said it yourself. I can't love. I don't love you. Leave me and find someone who can-
"I-I don't want anyone else!" His breathing is uneven..his voice so shaky..so unstable. "I-I only want you Maka. I-It's ok you can't love me..I-I'm use to it..b-but I need you now you can't just-"
"Crona I don't want you. I don't need you." She looks at him coldly..trying to cover up her voice that cracked a little.
It's a lie.
Crona looks at her..with those eyes full of hurt..tears falling down his face.
She hurt him but..
She'll end up killing him..
She can feel her desire to hurt him increase with being close to him.
"..Y-You don't want me?" Crona looks close to hyperventilating. "B-But..b-but you told me you needed me! y-you told me you cared for me!"
"Don't trust a witch." She looks away. "Don't trust me."
"M-Maka please..." Crona is begging her..
And she can feel her smile.
She hates herself.
She wants to die.
She's evil.
"Find a new crazy friend Crona. I don't want you talking to me. Just forget about everything." She stands up to leave..
But Crona grabs her wrist.
She can't stop herself.
Maka slaps him across the face.
It makes a loud sound as his face is turned to the side.
He lets go of her wrist...to slowly look at her..with his cheek red.
Maka feels like shit..but she's fucking smiling.
He's looking at her with such hurt in his eyes..his tears falling more.
That's when Maka snaps.
She laughs loudly, throwing her head back, her eyes wide and shaking.
The cafeteria goes quiet as all eyes go to her.
"What you looking at?!" She jumps on top of the table with that crazy grin on her face. "You have a fucking problem?! Of course you do! Your all fucking crazy! and so am I!"
Maka cracks up as she starts jumping from table to table, spinning on her heel like a ballerina.
Nurses are running to get her.
Maka giggles as she kicks out plates of food, hitting a couple of nurses.
Her eyes meet Girko's..the male nurse is just standing to the side..frozen with shock as he watches her do a back flip onto another table.
He doesn't move to stop her..this look flashing threw his eyes.
Maka's crazy grin grows as she gives him both her middle fingers, still dodging all of the nurses.
He doesn't return it.
"Food fight bitches!" She screams as she grabs a plate of pizza and throws it at a nurse, then she takes some milk and throws it on a group of pateints.
They start to spaz out, one starts shaking, one pasts out..and one screams.
Maka laughs loudly.
It's all so funny you know?!
"Use your power Maka.." Medusa coos. "Kill them all..kill them like you know you want to.."
"I'm going to kill you all!" Maka screams into her laughter, her body shaking so much.
That's when her eyes meet Justin's.
The patent is just sitting..staring at her with this knowing smirk.
"What are you looking at you curly headed fuck?" Maka gigles as she starts to jump the tables away from the nurses towards the boy. "I'll rip that smirk right off your face!"
"Hm, what a disgrace." Justin looks up at the ceiling before closing his eyes. " It seems you have completely lost it."
"Your about to lose your fucking head!" Maka shrieks as she jumps in mid air, about to land on him.
Her hands are twitching..
She feels this power bubble up inside her.
" ' You shall not permit a sorceress to live' Exodus 22:18" Justin slowly opens his eyes. " Let this witch see the light."
Something hits her..and it's powerful..and it burns.
Maka hisses in pain as she falls into the table, missing Justin by a long shot.
That feeling is gone..
Her madness is gone..
She's left with nothing but pain.
The nurses are on her in a second.
They pull her off the table, snapping her out of this state
"Let me go!" She screams as she struggles against them, she punches one before two nurses grab her arms.
They force her down but she keeps struggling, screaming.
Maka looks up..only for her eyes to meet Crona's..
He's trembling..his eyes shaking and his teeth chattering as he watches this..
Though, it's so loud right now..she can somehow hear what he's saying..
"N-No.." He whispers watching as they force her hands behind her back.
Maka struggles still screaming..howling in pain from her guilt..from just eveything.
"N-No.." His grip on his arm tightens..
A nurse brings out a needle..
Maka's eyes get wide with fear.
She then sees something snap in Crona's eyes.
"NO! YOU DON'T TOUCH HER!" He shouts, everyone turning to look at him as he runs over, his teeth are grit, his eyes on fire.
He tackles the nurse with the needle, knocking him down before she sees his eyes change.
He's Ragnarok now.
"Get the hell off her." Ragnarok growls as he grabs one of the nurses by the face, drigging his nails into the flesh before he throws them off.
He kicks the other one in the face..
Maka hears the jaw pop.
She can only watch in awe as the boy fights five nurses..then ten..then fifteen..
Ragnarok is beating the shit out of all of them.
"You want to fuck around? Crona is pissed!" Ragnarok takes one nurse and slams her head down on the hard floor making a cracking sound.
Maka watches as a nurse behind him takes out a needle..there all starting to take out needles.
"Stay away from him!" Maka screams before she jumps on the woman's back who is about to stab Ragnarok, she bites her hard on the shoulder causing her to cry out.
"I have this shit!" The boy growls knockng the woman to the side when Maka jumped off. "It's not like you fucking care about him anyway!"
"I-
Someone grabs her.
She screams and Ragnarok's quick to get the person off her.
"I don't even know why i'm fucking helping you." He growls. "I heard that shit. You fucking bitch! I should be killing you!"
"Then do it!" She cries punching a nurse that got to close. " I deserve it. I don't deserve to live Ragnarok..I don't deserve Crona as a friend. i'm evil...I had to push him away don't you see?!..I'm afraid i'm going to hurt him!"
The boy doesn't respond as he breaks a nurse's arm, blood is getting on his gown.
"Crona means everything to me." She trembles as she elbows a nurse.
"Your a liar." The boy growls, kneeing a nurse in the face.
"..." Maka gets in front of him suddenly, her eyes staring into his burning ones. "..Kill me."
His eyes widen a little in surprise.
"You said it yourself. Just kill me. I don't want to hurt Crona. I'd rather die." Maka can feel the tears fall. "I don't want to think these thoughts about him anymore..I don't want to be a witch..I'd rather die.." She looks up at him with her eyes burning. "So fucking kill me!"
The boy's eyes go back to normal before he grabs her, pulling her away from a nurse that was about to stab her a needle, giving the man a kick in the face.
"The sad thing is." He growls in her ear. "It would hurt him more if I killed you, so your going to fucking live bitch! and your going to like it!"
He throws her down, glaring at her.
"I don't care what the bitch has done, or what she has planned but you can't fucking give up! are you that much of dumb ass?! i'm not going to have to deal with Crona crying the rest of his fucking life and being more gay then he usually is because you gave up! You were a witch all this fucking time! Why is it such a big deal now?! Fight it damn it!"
Maka stares wide eyed at the boy..
"..Ragnarok.."
He looks down at her with this look before someone grabs him from around the neck.
Maka gets up in alarm as she watches a needle pierce his skin but he head butts the person and they fall off.
"Damn it." He growls. "Fucking hate this shit!"
Maka goes to help him but..a nurse grabs her.
Ragnarok turns around but it's to late..
A needle pierces her skin..causing her to yelp as the medicine gets pushed into her blood stream.
Ragnarok punches this person in the face, watching as Maka falls to the ground and hits her head hard on the floor.
"Shit." The boy is then tackled by what looks to be..10 nurses at one time..and more are jumping on him..
Maka's vision is getting blurry..all the screaming is getting blocked out.
She sees Crona get stabed with a needle..
One..
Two..
Three..
Four..
Four times..
And he's still going..
Maka's eyes close.
Everything gets quiet.
