Maka screams as she weaves through the dark trees in her way, her legs spreading out as far as possible in a full out run.
She is being chased.
And sadly she knows by who.
Her heart beat is ecstatic..
She really can't deal with this now.
Maka pushes her body to her limit..her screams trying to drown out the other person's foot steps..
But she knows he's right behind her.
It's so dark, the only light she has comes from the vertical eyes that appear on the trees and on the ground she's running on..
Maka would rather be in darkness.
These eyes are the reason the boy can see her.
She sees a light up ahead..and a hope fills her.
Light means civilization.
Civilization means other people.
Other people means help.
Maka pumps her legs with new determination, a new hope pulling her despite her fear and pain.
The lights getting closer..
And the boy's foot steps behind her are getting fainter.
She's losing him!
She's going to live!
She's going to-
Maka runs into a wire fence.
The metal digs into the skin of her face, leaving a bunch of criss cross lines imprinted on her skin.
Maka blinks in confusion as she takes in what's before her..
It looks to be a abandon carnival..
There's a cotton candy table and old, dry food litters the ground..
There's blood everywhere..
This is a carnival of hell.
But Maka isn't looking at all this, but she's looking at someone.
Through the gate she sees Crona, He stands with his back to her but..
The boy is holding someone is in his arms.
She can't see who it is..but it stirs something inside of her.
"Crona!" She shouts as she grabs onto his fence and shakes it.
The pink haired boy doesn't respond.
He pays her no mind.
Maka hears the boy's foot steps behind her..
Panic grips her heart.
"Crona please let me out! He's going to kill me!" She struggles with the fence, growling like a mad woman..
The boy doesn't even turn around..but she hears the girl he's holding giggle.
"Crona-"
Someone grabs her and turns her around, holding her by her shoulders against the fence..the wire sticking uncomfortably in her back.
"I found you." Kid smirks at her, his yellow eyes shinning with dark glee as he leans closer. "It's been awhile hasn't it?"
"Crona!" She screams for him, struggling against this other boy.
"It's no use. He can't hear you..he's caught up in other matters at the moment." Kid chuckles at how her face falls. "Why do you look so glum my dear? It's not like he is the only heart you have..You have the demon and you also have mine. You are the queen of hearts but your an aweful ruler..I think it's about time for a rebellion..I think it's about time you lost your head."
Kid pulls out that ax she knows too well, his eyes locking onto hers.
Maka is paralyzed with fear..she can't do anything.
"Don't look so afraid...surely you saw this coming?" Kid flips her around, holding her head against the fence, his fingers in her hair. "You have broken the hearts of men and have caused insanity to spread. I will put an end to you.."
Maka isn't listening.
With her being pressed against the fence like this..she's forced to look at Crona.
He's holding this other girl's hand..
She still can't see who it is..but her stomach is twisting in the oddest of feelings.
"It's ok.." Kid nibbles at her neck, his body being pressed against hers. "You still have me.." He gets up to her ear and whispers in it.
Maka still isn't listening, her eyes are glued to Crona..
He's smiling and it's not because of her.
This feeling in her stomach is becoming unbearable.
"You can't have your cake and eat it too.." Kid lifts up his ax.
"..Then what's the point of having the cake?" Maka speaks absentmindly. "..If you can't eat it why even have cake?"
"If you think like that why do you keep on to Crona? Obviously you can't get what you want anymore with out hurting him..What's the point in having him then?"
"I care about him."
"But how much?"
" A lot."
"Is that the best you can do? You don't even sound sincere..or are you trying to deny your feelings? Is there more in that dark heart of yours?" Kid's finger tips start to stroke her chest over where her heart is. "Tell me what you feel right now Maka..watching Crona not even care enough to look your way? Holding another girl? How does it make you feel?"
"I don't feel anything." Maka growls, her voice dark.
"Ouch Maka." It sounds like Kid is frowning. "..And this is the boy you picked over me? And yet you care so little?..You must have not cared for me at all.."
She doesn't respond.
"No more pain." Kid's voice seems to shake as the ax touches the back of her neck then it pulls back. "No more of you Maka. You vile, vile creature. I hope you enjoy the fires of hell."
Maka knows that's exactly where she's going.
Her eyes still hold onto Crona and this girl..
They laugh together before they walk away..hand in hand..
Maka feels like puking.
"Good bye." Kid growls as the ax hits the back of her neck..breaking it and causing her to cry out in pain..
He only cut her half way.
Maka closes her eyes screaming her head off..quite literally when Kid chops down one final time.
Her head falls off but she continues to scream out in pure agony.
Why does she still feel this? Why hasn't she died? Isn't this where she would wake up?
Maka feels someone touch her arm..
But how would she feel that when her head is away from her body?
She continues to scream.
"Jeez would ya stop that?"
Her breath hitches and she opens her eyes.
Crona is sitting on her lap, the boy straddling her, a amused smirk on his face.
Maka stil screams..she can't help it.
She just felt her head being cut off.
"Aw shut up." He slaps her across the face..
His palm hitting her cheek..makes her realize something..
He hit her cheek, she still has her head.
This causes a tear to fall down her cheek out of relief..
That wasn't real.
Crona watches her tear a moment before he leans in and licks it off of her cheek.
"Even your sorrow taste so sweet." The boy pulls away from her to smirk.
"..What happened?" Maka frowns looking around..
She's still outside of the fence, and it's still sticking into her back.
"Let's have some fun.." He gets off of her and lifts her up with no difficultly, holding her like a baby.
"Put me down!" She struggles with him, not at all trusting this boy.
She knows this isn't Crona.
"Hey, have you ever dreamed of flying?" The boy looks down at her blankly.
"I-"
"To late! Fly birdy fly!" Crona suddenly throws her up in the air..high enough she flies over the fence.
Maka screams as she starts to make the trip downward.
"Flap your wigs birdy!"
"I'm not a fucking-" Maka hits the concrete with a crack, her body bouncing before it does a roll.
Ow.
She's pretty sure she broke something.
"Wow you suck ass." Crona pouts as he disappears..
He's quick to appear right back in front of her.
"Now come on Maka! This is no time to be lazing around! We got things to do! People to see!" Crona grabs her by the arm and forces her up causing her to wince. He wrinkles his nose when he sees the blood drip down her face. " You really let yourself go! You couldn't at least got cleaned up for are date?"
"Your the one who fucking- A date?" Maka blinks at that.
"Yes..a date." His lips curl into a sick smile, his eyes losing that playfulness as he grabs her hand tightly and starts to drag her forward. "What do you want to do first? There's the bone crusher..that's a really fun ride in these parts."
"Is that a roller coster?" Maka's eyes light up a bit at that.
"No." He looks back at her.
"..Then what kind of ride is it-"
"It's exactly what I said the 'Bone crusher' It crushes all your bones in 10 seconds." Crona's eyes light up as he tugs her a long. "Come one! It's going to be great!-"
"Hell no!" Maka struggles with him, digging her feet into the ground but her shoes just make a skit sound as he continues to pull her a long.
"Oh yes." He chuckles darkly, dark glee shinning threw those eyes of his. "What's wrong? It's only 10 seconds..Jeez I know you have one but don't be such a pussy."
"I'm not a pussy!" Maka huffs, glaring at this boy as she continues to struggle with him. "It's called being smart. I'm not dying-"
"But it's a ride to die for." Crona sneers, his grip tightening causing her to yelp.
"Where's the real Crona?" Maka pulls back only to squeak in alarm when he suddenly let her go, causing her to fall on her butt behind him.
"I am the real Crona." He turns around, towering over her as he stares down at her with a blank expression. " Are you blind? Or is it that you don't want to see?"
"Your not him." Maka stand her ground as she stands up. "Crona doesn't act like this-"
"Oh?" He gives her a challenging look. " How would you like me to act? Sweet? Nice? Gentle? But you pushed me away when I acted like that..now I won't let you push me away. He knows what he wants, and I know what I want. You mind as well get use to me because I'm the dominate now."
"Dominate? As if." She scoffs something inside her bubbling. "I'm still the one in charge."
"We'll see how long that last." A knowing smirk comes to his face as he takes a step closer and she takes a step back. "Come on now, let's get on that bone crusher-"
"I'm not getting on the fucking bone crusher. I'm not getting on anything with you!" Maka snarls, her fist gripped.
"Oh really?" Crona's lips go in a tight line as he takes a step closer, only to stop.
Maka watches with shaking eyes as he picks up a piece of broken glass off the ground.
"Maybe this will change your mind.." He moves the glass in front of her tauntingly before he takes a step forward.
Maka turns to run away from him..only to bump into his chest when he appeared in front of her.
"There's no escape..this is my domain. " Crona grabs her wrist, holding it firmly as she thrashes against him.
"Get off!" Maka screams as she kicks him in his shin..but he doesn't see effected at all.
"So you can run from me? Not a chance sweet heart." He pulls her wrist closer..and brings the piece of glass towards it.
"You think hurting me will make me want to go with you? It's just going to piss me off you son of a bitch-" Maka stops going off when she sees glass being dragged acrossed a wrist..
His wrist.
Crona digs the piece of glass deep into his skin, blood starting to drip from the wound..
There's no mistaking it..it's black.
Maka wasn't expecting this..she just stares at this boy in confusion.
"What do you think about this?..What do you think about my blood?" Crona looks at her with a unreadable expression, as it drips from his wrist.
'I don't know." she answers honestly as she watches it drip..but something inside her bubbles.
Crona gives her a ghost of a smile before it disappears and he has that hard expression again.
"They say black is a very plain color.." He stares at his blood. "But black is made when all the colors are combined..so you see it is very colorful."
His eyes get a far away look.
"When people see black, they think of dread, of hate, of fear..but when I see black..I see myself. I guess that would explain a lot of things. Black is a demon's color after all..it's deadly but it doesn't have to be."
Crona starts to move his blood on his wrist..smearing it on his other hand before he lifts it up..
Maka watches with fascination as the blood on his hand starts to take shape..starts to form into something..
The blood forms into a flower.
It's completely black but it has the outline of a plant..looking a lot like the flower that is on the boy's neck.
Crona holds it by it's short stem, looking it over like he's trying to see if he's satisfied with it before holding it out to her.
Maka blinks at it..still amazed at what she saw.
"Take it." Is that..nervousness in his voice? It sounded almost like he's afraid of rejection.
Maka reaches out and takes the flower from him, her fingers lightly brushing against his before she pulls her hands to her chest.
The flower is hard..and it's nothing but black.
He..made this with his blood?
Maka looks over at him still trying to process this.
What she didn't expect to see is the boy's cheeks being tinted a light grey.
"W-Well?" He pouts not looking at her as he kicks the ground a little with his foot, the grey in his cheeks darkening when she looks at him. He looks irritated. "It's crappy isn't it?"
"It's beautiful."
Crona's pout falls as he looks over at her..his eyes take in the smile she's giving him.
"Yeah?" The boy perks up as he takes a step closer.
This time Maka doesn't take a step back.
"Now will you spend time with me?"
"Are you going to take me on the bone crusher?"
"..Well it's only 10 seconds-"
"No."
"Aw what the butt! Your no fun." He pouts at her as he grabs her hand.
Their fingers become intertwined as they begin to walk together down this abandoned carnival.
"I can't believe I did that.." The boy grumbles when his eyes fall on the flower he gave her. "I swear I'm to nice sometimes. I guess old habits die hard."
"Old habits?" Maka raises an eye brow at him.
"Being nice is my old habit. But it seems it worked on you this time..and I will continue to be good to you as long as you are good to me but.." His eyes flash and before she knows it's she's being pinned against a wall, Crona having a dangerous glint in his eyes. " If you hurt me, I'm going to hurt you. I'll make you scream and I'll enjoy every moment of it. You have put me threw hell and back but the next time you send me to hell I'm dragging you down with me."
Maka's eyes fall on his bleeding wrist by her head..on impulse she leans over and starts to lick up his blood.
"Consiter this a warning." It looks like his eyes want to soften a bit as he watches her lick him but he keeps that dangerous look. "You think you have the advantage over me because I love you and you don't love me But I know you have weakness and if I must I will use them. I will tame you.." His voice changes and that pervert smirk comes to his face. "I'm going to tame you good little one."
"Try me bitch." Maka's voice changes, that bubbling getting worse as she smirks back at him. "I have no fucking weaknesses. Unlike you, I don't give a shit. I don't love you and it makes me laugh when you cry like a bitch."
"We'll see who will be crying after I'm finished with you." His smirk grows as he gets closer, his nails digging into her flesh. "You are more like a lioness now..but soon you'll be nothing but a dog that stays by my feet. A dog that is loyal to it's owner."
"I'm no one's bitch." Maka leans closer to him, her hands scratching down his chest. "I'll never be loyal to you. You mind as well give up on that little dream of yours."
"Your weakness gives you away little one." He leans in, his taunting words brushing agianst her lips.
"I have no weakness." She giggles as she leans in and bites him hard on his lower lip.
"Oh I believe you do.." He pulls away, his lip bleedly slightly as he takes the hand that's holding the flower and smirks. "..I really believe you do."
"Go fuck yourself."
"I'd much rather do that to you."
"In your dreams..." She giggles, her body is starting to heat up again..and she giggled to hide her moan.
"No..in your dreams." A perverted smile comes to his face. "I know your holding back..right now you want to fuck me silly don't you?"
"I want to fucking rip you a part.." She pants..a moan escaping her throat when he tighten his hold on her.
"Then do it.." His grin is to large..
And the grin on her face is to large.
Something is about to snap between them..
When everything starts to fade away around them.
"Remember my warning little one." He smirks at her. " I can be nice..or I can be wicked."
The last thing she sees is his smirk before everything fades away.
Maka's eyes slowly open being greeted by a pale, silky smooth chest.
She smiles slightly and sighs in contentment as she nuzzles deeper into his hold on her, his pink locks brushing her cheek.
Crona tightens his grip on her..so maybe he's awake?
Maka frowns a bit..
The air feels..thick.
She just woke up but it feels like the room is about to explode with tension.
Maka turns her body so she's still laying her head on his chest but she can look around the room..
Oh.
Ragnarok leans against the wall next to the door, his piercing eyes are hard.
Maka doesn't have to look up to know the two boy's are staring at each other..glaring at each other..
But she looks up anyway.
Crona is staring at the other boy with an odd look in his eyes..half way haunted, half way normal. His grip on her tightens and he brings Maka closer to him..his eyes lighting up with a challenging glint.
"..It looks like you had some fun last night Crona." Ragnarok takes in the boy's bare chest and how low his jeans are on his waist. The blanket was moved off of them at some point. " You don't see me going crazy."
"You want to though. Your seething with jealousy." Crona sneers, a smirk starting to twitch on his lips. " At least I'm open about my feelings. I can express them, something you lack greatly in."
"I'm really not in the mood for this shit." Ragnarok bares his teeth, his eyes getting dark. "After everything that's happened shouldn't you be more worried about her then starting a fight with me? I'm not playing games anymore." His voice is dark.
"Neither am I." Crona responds cooly. "I'm not sharing what is mine with you any longer."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Maka. You will not touch her. I don't even want you to look at her with those lustful eyes of yours. Stick to what you know. Did you forget that your dead? That she's alive and has a beating heart and you don't? It's pointless loving her in more ways then one. She will never love you back but also you will never have her either. Your nothing but a ghost, a fleeting image of the past that has gotten way over his head. Don't make me get some holy water and-"
Ragnaork, by this point is puffing, and huffing like a bull about to charge..but when he said that last part..something snaps in those eyes of his.
"You son of a bitch! You don't fucking talk to me like that with out regretting it! I don't care if your fucking crazy you know what your saying! Alright so what, I took Maka and I enjoyed myself for the first time in 17 years that doesn't mean you have to act like a fucking ass hole! You are so fucking ungrateful! You get to sleep with her! You get to feel her skin under your palm..You get to feel her heart beat against your own. You get to experience the pleasure she gives you, and you get to hold her with your own arms! So yeah, I got to touch her, got to kiss her but did I really experience her? No, I didn't. It wasn't even my body. It was someone else. Yet when you fucking touch her..it's all you. I'm not fucking backing down. Your stuck with me Crona and no matter how much you hate it you know it's true. Your not going to take away the only thing that makes me feel alive!"
Ragnarok pants, his breathing jagged as he glares into the other boy's eyes.
"..You want to feel alive again..but I just want to live." Crona brings her closer. "She is the only good I've ever had in my life and you know this! You have been stuck with me for my whole life! You know everything I got to experience and what was that Ragnarok? Being stuck in that fucking room alone for years? Being fucking reminded that I wasn't wanted every day of my life?..That I wasn't wanted by my own mother? I haven't experienced anything but Maka and your trying to ruin that! Your trying to take her away from me! You have experienced plenty of things..you got to live your life. Maka is my life. And your trying to take that! Your trying to steal my life!"
"Everything I fucking experienced in my past wasn't anything good!" His eyes flash. "I died young and now fucking look at me! Your bitch of a mother killed me! She ruined everything and made me into a fucking slave!"
"Well at least you got to make the decisions in your life that lead to this! At least when you were born you were free! I never got to make any decisions! I never had a choice! I was born her slave! I was born a puppet with no other purpose but to be mastered by her! I never had a fucking choice!"
Crona pants, his eyes wide and haunted, filled with rage and..hurt.
It goes completely silent.
The only thing breaking it is both the boy's hard breathing.
Maka sees both their points..and it hurts her..
Her eyes light up in panic when she sees that tattoo on Crona's neck start to light up.
She has to keep him calm.
"..Crona.." Maka frowns reaching out to pull him close..he lets her hold him, so she runs her hands threw his hair trying to comfort him.
"You are the best thing that's happen to me in my life.." His eyes get this far away look to them. "..But you weren't even my decision."
"What do you mean?" Maka looks down at him..but he doesn't look at her.
His eyes are so odd.
"I didn't choose any of this. I just followed orders. I didn't know..I didn't know that-"
"Crona." Ragnarok gives him a wary look...his voice is a warning.
"Your right. I wasn't your decision." This causes his breath to hitch..and something like guilt flashes threw his eyes. "..You were my decision."
"M-Maka?" Crona's eyes refocus, they're not haunted any more..and he's looking at her with those beautiful eyes she knows and loves.
"I chose you." She rubs her nose against his causing him to blush..
Sweet Crona is back..
For now.
Ragnarok leans against the wall with his arms crossed..He watches them blankly..
Maka wants to believe Ragnarok knows how important it is to keep Crona sane..
She also wants to believe that he isn't bothered by all this.
But the raven haired boy is just good at hiding his feelings.
"Let's please not start this morning with a fight..My head is still killing me from yesterday you know?" Maka gives them both a small smile.
"Y-Your head hurts?" Crona frowns as he reaches out and starts to lightly massage her temples. "D-Does this feel better?"
"Yeah..thanks." Maka gives him a warm smile which causes his face to get a dark red, his gaze shifting before it falls back on her and he gives her a smile of his own.
She just feels relieved..
She didn't lose Crona in the madness..he's still there.
"Not for long." That voice chuckles.
"You can say that again." Another darker voice chuckles.
Maka's eyes get wide..
She did not just hear his voice in her head..
Maka looks at Crona to see he has the same expression on his face.
..Great.
It's like their inner crazy's are teaming up.
"H-H-How did you sleep?" Crona mumbles nervously as he keeps rubbing her head.
"..Alright I guess." Maka studies him a moment. "Did you have a dream?"
His hands tense against her head at that.
"N-No.." His gaze shifts.
"Well I did." Maka watches him tense once again.
"O-Oh?" He gives her a nervous smile.
"Yeah it was really weird."
"How s-so?" He looks down at his hands.
"Well in the dream I had you tried to rape me."
"G-Gah no I didn't!" He whips his head up looking at her with wide eyes.
"You mind as well have. You had me pinned against the wall talking about taming me and then you lean in and said 'I'm going to rape you so hard right now' "
"I-I did not say that! I-I don't know what I was doing but I k-know I wouldn't have raped you Maka! I-I'm so not a raper!"
"Ah hah!" Maka shouts causig Crona to jump a inch off the bed.
"What?" He squeaks looking rather nervous.
"You did have a dream! And you dreamed the same thing I did!"
"I-I-"
"Wait a minute." Her eyes narrow causing some sweat to from on his brow. "..Did you make me dream that?"
"N-No I-I.." Crona's gaze is shifting everywhere, his face red. " I-I don't.."
"Crona.." She gives him a look.
"M-Maybe I did.." He tenses and puts his hands up defensibly. "B-B-But I don't know how I did it and I-I had no control of my actions! A-All I remember thinking about is wanting to spend time with you..and he took it to a whole other level."
Crona shifts under her gaze..his arm tightly gripping the other.
Maka blinks..
Crona can get in her head now?..Does that mean he knows what she's thinking-
"Yes."
Maka tenses, the hairs on her arms sticking up.
"Or at least I can. I'm not exactly in your head. It's like listening to someone talk on the radio from sitting at home. So you see you can't escape me. Anything you think I'll know..even in your mind your not safe from me little one."
Maka's body gets hot and her she shivers a little.
No way in hell!
"We are not going to take this." The girl's voice groans slightly. " Get your creepy ass out of here."
"Your one to talk." He chuckles darkly. "You sound like your weting your panties every time I speak."
"Your stupid!."
" No, your stupid!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
The two voices are having the most childish agreement in her head right now.
Maka tries to blink them away but they go back and forth.
Crona is staring at her with the same wide eyes..
Can he hear both the voices too?
Maka and Crona groan at the same time and start to rub their temples.
Oh yeah, he can definably hear it too.
Ragnarok watches them raising an eye brow.
He doesn't know the hell they are experiencing.
"What the hell is wrong with you two?"
"Hey, hey, hey oh my god I have something to tell you!" His voice booms
"What?"
"..Listen closly..this is really important."
"I doubt that."
"..I see dead people." He whispers.
The two voices are silent a moment..
Before they both crack up in mad laughter.
Maka and Crona start to giggle causing Ragnarok to look between them nervously.
"What the fuck is so funny?"
"We see dead people!" They both point at him and giggle.
Oh.
This pisses him off.
Ragnarok's eyes narrow and before they know it he's right in front of them.
"And I see two bitches who need to be slapped." He lifts up his hand and with one hit, hit's them both across the cheek.
The voices in their heads hush..
The madness receding and releasing them.
"I needed that." Maka sighs as she rubs her cheek.
"I-I still think he was a butt f-face for doing that." Crona rubs his cheek.
"Yeah, I mean jeez Ragnarok you don't have to beat the shit out of us."
" I fucking hit you once! That was fucking nothing."
"O-Oh I agree with you..I-It was nothing." Crona flips his hair causing Maka to chuckle.
"Want to say that again you little bitch?" Ragnarok grabs Crona putting him into a head lock he starts to grind his knuckles into his head.
"O-Ow Ragnaork s-stop!" Crona struggles with the other boy but his lips twitch up into a ghost of a smile.
"That's what I thought." Ragnarok chuckles slightly-
Suddenly both their eyes get wide and they pull away from each other like they just realized what they were doing.
They glare darkly at each other before they both cross their arms and look away.
Damn it.
So close.
But at least..that little scene filled Maka with a hope..
Maybe their family isn't ruin..
There's hope.
"No there's not." His voice taunts, she can practically see his smirk.
"Shut up you whore." She taunts back.
"Slut."
"bitch."
"Cunt."
"Ahh!" Maka grabs her head. "Just shut the fuck up!"
It gets really quiet..
When Maka opens her eyes she didn't know were closed..
Ragnarok and Crona are staring at her with wide eyes..
But Crona has a look of understanding in his.
"Um-" Before Maka can make this any more awkward then it already is a letter appears in her hand.
"W-What's that Maka?" Crona tilts his head looking at it.
"I don't know." She frowns slightly as she opens it up and takes out a piece of paper.
Ragnaork sees the symbol of a snake in the corner of the letter and he immediately lets a scowl come to his face.
Maka reads the letter.
"Dear Maka,
Please come down soon and meet me in the dinning room. We have much to discuss!
3 Medusa "
Ugh.
Again with the fucking heart.
"I think she wants to fuck you." His voice sneers again.
"A lot of people want to fuck me. You included." The voice isside her head actually sounds sassy.
"I wouldn't touch you with with a 10 foot pole."
"You would touch me with your pole~"
"Oh your dirty.." He lets out a groan.
"You don't know the half of it." She purrs.
"W-What does it say M-Maka?" Crona is blushing, messing with his fingers his eyes shifting..
His blush looks grey.
"Medusa wants us to come down stairs to the dinning room. Apparently 'We have much to discuss!'"
"This bitch.." Ragnarok grumbles snatching the note to look at. He blinks when he sees the heart. "..Is that a fucking..?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
" I wouldn't either." Ragnarok chuckles though which gets him a glare from Maka.
"L-let's go." Crona looks between Maka and Ragnarok wryly.
"You better not be flirting with him." She hears his voice again.
"I can flirt with who ever I want. You don't own me bitch."
"Oh?" His voice is challenging. "I believe I do little one."
"You know that makes me crazy!" The voice moans, and Maka feels that cage inside her get pressed on.
Her whole body is getting warm..
God damn it is she really getting aroused by just his voice talking?!
"Y-Yeah lets." Maka chuckles awkwardly getting Ragnarok to look at her funny.
Crona and Maka's gaze meet..
Right now Maka is looking into those incident blue orbs..but she knows what's hiding inside of him..
And he isn't incident.
She can feel him as she looks into his Crona's eyes..and she wonders if Crona can feel her darker side by looking into hers.
"..Are we just going to sit here and fucking stare at each other or are we going to more?" Ragnarok looks between the two with his eye brow raised.
Crona gives him a look but Ragnarok's voice is enough to get herself together.
"We're going." Maka reaches out and grabs Ragnarok's and Crona's arm. She closes her eyes, mumbling something under her breath before she feels her power go out.
When she opens her eyes they're all standing in front of the door that opens to the dinning room.
"W-Wow Maka you have gotten better." Crona gives her a smile.
"Yeah now we're not falling from the fucking sky." Ragnarok grunts.
"Whateves." She puts her hand up getting his eye to twitch before she points at the door and it opens. "So I wonder what she's going to-"
They all walk in..and stop.
Maka must be seeing things..
She looks at the other two..but their mouths are as wide open as her's is.
Oh god please can they just all be crazy and they're not really seeing the person she's seeing right now..
All three teenagers blink viscously trying to rid this ghastly vision..but it doesn't work.
Stein is still sitting at the dinning room table.
The man is sitting on one of the side chairs, his glasses are glared but she can tell he's reading the book on the table in front of him.
He has a coffee mug in one hand, and a pen in the other.
What's really unsettling though is..He has a fucking screw sticking out of the side of his head.
How is he even alive?
Maybe they're seeing a ghost..or even better just a hallucination from their mad minds..
But for some reason..she knows this is no hallucination, this is no ghost.
This is Stein, in the flesh.
And he's in their home, drinking coffee, like this is the most normal thing ever.
Maka, Crona, and Ragnarok haven't dared move, let alone speak.
They're still all hoping the man will go away when they blink.
But it never happens.
Maka leans her weight on one side..and the floor makes a creeking sound.
They all tense when the man looks up from his book.
His glasses stop glaring as his gaze meets the rest of theirs..
Maka can't read his expression..
But he isn't surprised..
Not like all of them are.
"Well hello Crona...Maka. Long time no see." His voice is calm, his face still giving nothing away. His stoney eyes fall on her and he seems to be taking her in..it's causing the hairs on her arm to stick up. "I'm glad to see that you are alright Maka. You were in bad shape when I found you the other day."
Crona and Ragnarok give her a questioning look.
"What are you-" Maka stops..her eyes flashing..
She remembers the pair of dark shoes that stopped by her head in the forest..then looking up..and seeing the glasses and the stich mark..
It was him.
"..Your the one who brought me back.." She speaks in disbelief.
Stein gives her a smile..
And ew she wish he wouldn't
" Yes, It took me awhile to find you but it seems you were limping right in my direction. Your hand had third degree burns, and you seem to be almost feverish. You passed out just as I got to you...and I didn't have any of my equipment so I had to..improvise." He gets a odd grin on his face.
Maka shivers..
Stein was alone with her while she was pasted out..he's the one who bandaged her up and brought her back here..
Just thinking about it gives her the creeps.
"Why would you help me?" Maka eyes narrow. "How the hell did you even know about this place?"
Stein opens his mouth-
"That would be because of me." Medusa suddenly reappears next to Stein..and Maka can't help but to notice her attire is a bit..different..
She wears a short black dress..it's low cut and it looks like her boobs could pop out at any moment.
Maka also doesn't miss the way Stein looks at her.
Ew.
"What the hell are you thinking?!" Ragnarok screeches pointing a finger at Stein. " He's one of the doctors from Dark Side asylum! You know..the fucking place we broke out not to long ago. They're still fucking looking for us and now you have this ass hole here!"
"Stein isn't a doctor at that asylum anymore. He is on the run like you. After his out burst with attacking a nurse, the cops are looking for him. You don't need to worry about him turning you in." Medusa locks eyes with Ragnarok.
"Yes, they don't want someone working as a doctor at the insane asylum that is insane himself." Stein smirks, his newly stitched up face looking like it could rip any moment.
"Ok..but that still doesn't answer the reason why he's here." Maka gives Stein a glare.
"Stein is my lover."
Maka, Crona, Ragnarok stare at this woman a long, long moment.
"What?!" They all scream half out of horror, half out in shock.
"It's true." Medusa smirks as she gets into Stein's lap, the man wraping his arms around her, that crazy grin still on his face. " Me and doctor Stein have quite a history don't we?"
"A history is putting it lightly." He smirks back as she runs her finger tips over the stiches of his face. "You always wormed your way into my life."
"Oh doctor you know just what to say to turn me on." Medusa purrs before she clashes her lips against his..
And there they are..violently making out in front of three horrified teens.
Ew.
Gross.
Maka, Crona, and Ragnarok's mouths are wide open from shock..
This is not what they expected to see early in the morning.
Maka is so gald she hasn't eaten breakfast yet..or she would surely have lost it.
Medusa pulls away to smirk at the three..but her eyes fall on Crona.
"Say hello to your new daddy Crona-"
This seems to snap the pink haired boy out of his shock..because he screams.
It's high pitch and Maka has to cover her ears..
But hell, she doesn't blame him for screaming, she would be fucking screaming too.
Medusa is practically fucking this man..the same man that was Crona's doctor for years..the same man that was such an ass hole..the same man they all hated.
And now Medusa just told him that's his new father.
She is trying to shatter what ever sanity Crona has left.
"Crona!" Maka grabs a hold of him, and pulls him into a hug so he's screaming into her shoulder.
Stein is starting to chuckle like a mad man and Medusa is just smirking.
Ragnarok seems to be pulled out of his shocked state from Crona's scream..he has a look of disgust on his face before he walks over to Crona..and puts a hand on his shoulder..
Trying to comfort him but really there's no comfort in something as gross as that.
"He isn't really your father." Maka speaks in his ear calmly trying to get him to stop screaming. " If you don't think of him as your father then he isn't Crona. Spirit was my father but he wasn't my father to me..so I didn't call him that. Stein isn't your dad Crona.."
Ragnarok's eyes flash at this..him getting a far away look.
"A father is the man who is the reason you were born. A father is a person that protects and you respect them. I know Stein doesn't fit any of those fucking things for you so he isn't your father. Even if he was, you don't have to fucking except it." Ragnarok grips his shoulder a bit tighter.
Maka looks over at him a bit surprised.
Crona's scream slowly dies..and he's left panting in her shoulder for a moment.
"T-Thank you.." He gets off of her..his face is very pale and he looks sick. "..I-I'm better now."
Maka nods and grabs his hand.
"We're going to get threw this together ok Crona?" Maka looks into his eyes.
He looks at her a long moment..and his eyes steady.
"O-Ok Maka.." He takes deep breathes.
Maka gives him a small smile before they all turn around to face Medusa-
The woman is kissing Stein again.
All three of their faces fall in disgust.
"Do you have to fucking do that in front of us?" Maka wrinkles her nose. "It's fucking gross."
"I guess we should save this for the bedroom doctor." Medusa purrs against his lips. " We can..explore more in there."
"Ugh." The three teens make the sound of disgust at the same time.
Crona is trembling, the poor boy.
"I agree. I could do a little..experiment." A smirk comes to this man's face.
"Ugh!" They all groan again, Crona ending up trying to hit his head against the wall with Maka having to stop him.
"Why don't you head up to our bedroom..and i'll meet you in a minute. "She gives him a wink before she gets off of the man.
"I'll get are..implements ready." Stein actually gives her a wink before he walks out of the dinning room.
"Isn't he something?" Medusa chuckles.
Crona, Maka, and Ragnarok give her the same look..
Are you fucking nuts?!
"..Don't tell me he's..living here?" Maka shutters at the thought of seeing that grossness everyday..hell just seeing Stein would have been bad enough.
"Yes and I know you do not like him but this is a big mansion. You will barely see him."
Maka gives her a look because she knows that's a lie.
"Now to more serious matters." Medusa takes a step forward. "I think we should have a training session now. It would be in good preparation for the potion you have to make tonight."
"Yeah..I'm not the best at potions..' Maka kicks her foot thinking about the last one.
"You must make at least one good potion before midnight tonight or Crona will die by Wednesday..and there would be nothing we could do."
When Crona shivers Maka gives him a reassuring squeeze.
"I'll make it. I won't let Crona die. Let's start this training." Her eyes burn with determination.
"Yes of course but first.." Medusa's eyes fall on Crona and Ragnarok. "I want you two to be trained as well. You failed terribly at protecting Maka yesterday. So while I'm handling Maka, you two will be train by Eruka and Free." Medusa snaps her fingers and Eruka and Free appear behind the two boys.
Crona and Ragnarok turn around giving them a look before they look back at Maka..
They both seem hesitant.
"Go now." Medusa gives them a sweet smile but her eyes flash with something.
Crona and Ragnarok look at each other..
Before the two boys leave with Eruka and Free..
Leaving Maka alone with Medusa once again.
"Your not alone sweet heart. you still have me."
"You can't do shit. I'm her real protection." That voice scoffs.
"That explains why she's almost died so many times." He replies cooly.
"It's not my fault this bitch won't let me out!" She screeches.
"Maka dear are you alright?" Medusa breaks threw the voices frowning slightly at her.
"Ugh..yeah." Maka stops gripping her head to look up at her. "..So training.."
"Well I have to do something first..so please go ahead in the room and set up." Medusa disappears. "I'll be back soon."
Maka has a feeling that the something she has to do..is a certain dotor.
And that makes her sick to her stomach.
"Ugh." Maka groans as she walks out of the dinning room and threw the hallway to the door that leans to the small room with the stone flooring.
The doors open on their own and she walks in.
"Do you miss me little one? I know I miss you. It's been a full 2 mintues seen I've seen you last."
"Your annoying." Her voice sounds like it's being forced steady.
"Oh. Ow that really hurt me." He scoffs. " It's obvious you don't think i'm annoying..not at all. I bet right now your getting all horny stuck in that small cage of yours."
"S-Shut up!" She sounds flustered. "I'll shove a horn up your ass!"
"Oh you would like that wouldn't you?" He groans a little. " You'd like to shove many things up my ass."
"My foot being one of them." She pauses. "And my tongue."
"You would not lick me there!" Now he seems flustered..a moan on the tip of his tongue.
"Try me." Her voice is seductive.
"Some other time.' His voive changes. "I'm being called apon. Now remember my warning little one..don't do anything you would regret."
Somehow..Maka knows the boy is gone from her mind now.
"We need to find a way to block him out." The voice seems to have regain herself. "With him knowing all our thoughts it could end badly for us and it gives him the upper hand! A witch needs to be clever but we can not be clever with him knowing are every move and.." She huffs. "He distracts me..with his madness..with that fucking hot voice..mm."
Maka tries to tune out her moans and how her body is heating up as she makes her book appear in front of her.
ok..so we need a spell to protect her mind..
Maka closes her eyes and thinks off just that before she points to the book.
It turns pages rapidly, stopping on a page half way threw it.
Maka blinks as she reads the tittle.
"Mind block."
That actually worked, she continues to read it.
"While the intruder is in your mind, you must chant 'Mens mea' three times. This will protect your mind and send the intruder out. This spell doesn't last to long so be aware when it wears off your mind is vulnerable again."
Maka puts this information in the back of her mind and nods.
That seems simple enough.
"I wonder what other spells we could find.." That voice coos. "Medusa is taking awhile..we should check out the book our selfs..learn some spells."
Maka doesn't think that's a bad idea.
A smirk comes to her face as she flips the pages of this book..
Being the person she is she goes straight to the back where she knows the strongest spells are.
The pages stop flipping.
She looks at the page it landed on..and she can't help but for her breath to hitch.
"Giving a body to the dead."
She can't believe she is looking at the tittle..
It's possible..to bring the dead back?
Maka looks down at the rest of the words eagerly, a excitement bubbling up inside her.
"This spell in evolves a spirit and-"
"What are you looking at?" Maka tenses when she feels Medusa's breath on the back of her neck, the woman already peering over seeing what she's looking at before she could even try to hide it.
Maka doesn't say anything because she knows what she's looking at.
Medusa pulls away and gives Maka a long look.
They're silent a moment.
"It's forbidden."
"What?" Maka looks over at her.
"That spell is forbidden." Medusa locks eyes with her. "There's no law against this spell but any witch that has tired to complete it has failed...and failure in this spell results in death." Her eyes are watching her carefully. "Of course a witch is attracted to danger but this spell is a death trap."
"How do you do it?"
Medusa gives her another look..searching for something in her eyes.
"I'm not going to do it..I'm just curious as to how hard this spell must be." Maka gives her a cool look.
Medusa stares at her a moment longer before nodding.
"The actual spell isn't hard at all. You need a body that just died and you need some of your blood. All you do is say the chant in the book..but the spell aways back fires and instead of giving life it takes away the life of the one doing the spell. It's impossible to complete."
"But if it was completed..what would happen?"
"The spirit would be connected to the body..and no matter the gender of it or how it looks..the body will mold to that of the spirit's. So by the end of the spell the spirit will have it's body back..and it will have a life again." Medusa still keeps a watchful eye on her.
"..And it's impossible?" Maka gives her a look.
Medusa responds by pointing at the book..it turns to some of the last pages.
Maka blinks as she looks at it..
It's a list of a bunch of names..hundreds of names..thousands..
"This is all the names of the witches that have died trying to do this spell. It was placed in this book for the purpose of warning any witch who stumbles across it. Some of these witches were weak, some were very strong. All dead. The head witch has never even dared to try this spell. It is impossible."
Maka frowns deeply at this..
She had a hope..for a spilt second..
That she could give Ragnarok his body back..that she could give him his life back..
But it's impossible.
"Are you ready for your training?" Medusa walks so she's standing in front of her.
"Yeah." Maka closes her book, her eyes setting fire with determination.
She might not be able to bring Ragnarok back..
But she will save Crona.
She won't let him down.
Maka grips the cup with shaky hands..the pain is almost unbearable so she quickly drinks the slimly contents of it..
She forces it down her throat..ignoring the taste and how it makes her feel like she's swallowing a snake.
The cup is emptied before Maka throws it across the stone floor.
She pants and swallows, trying to ger the taste out of her mouth..but it's hard.
That's when the relief hits her..
Maka lets out a sigh as warmth seems to flow threw her viens..recharging her..reviving her..melting all the pain away.
"What is this stuff anyway?" Maka asks as she wipes some of the extra black stuff off from the corner of her mouth.
"My own special potion." Medusa smirks at her. "It heals and recharges a witch's power."
"It tastes like shit but I feel great." Maka sighs again as she stands up from the stone flooring.
"You did very good Maka..as always I'm impressed with how far your coming along. You never cease to amaze me.." Medusa takes her in, looking at her like a shinny prize..looking at her proudly.
"Apparently." Maka grunts but she feels good..
Getting all her power out like that, learning new spells..
It makes her feel powerful.
"I must tell you now that I will be gone for the day." Medusa looks at her.
"And why is that?" Maka feels a red flag being sent up in her mind.
"I'm going to be looking for the witch who has done this to you." Medusa looks at her firmly. "I won't stop till I find her my child. I will not let you die."
She turns her back on her.
"Be sure to look at the potion soon..it's on page 200." With that Medusa fades away.
Right..the potion..
Maka almost feels..nervous about this whole thing..
Spells are one thing..but potions..
That's a fail.
"If you would just let me out you wouldn't fail at anything." That voice coos. " Come on..You need me."
Maka brushes her tutu off before she turns on her heel and walks out of this room..
She doesn't need her.
She doesn't need anyone.
"Your getting darker.." The voice chuckles. "But have you ever heard of a tragic flaw? This is yours, and it will be the death of you."
She has a lot of flaws.
And they're all more or less tragic.
Maka takes a deep breath, her bangs covering her eyes as she walks down this hallway towards the dinning room.
She should go look at the potion..maybe if she studies it, when she tries to make the potion it will come out perfect-
"I doubt it."
Maybe she could practice it..try it a hole bunch of times and-
"I have a feeling that we will only get one shot."
Maka won't believe that.
To much is at stake for only one shot.
The dinning room doors open by themselfs and she lifts up her head just to look around.
It's empty.
Crona and Ragnarok aren't back yet..
Maka lets out a sigh as she walks over to the star room, the doors open and she walks in.
The door closes behind her..but she stops dead in her tracks.
"Oh hello Maka." Stein closes the cabinet in the room..he looked like he just put something in side of it. He looks at her with those stone eyes, his face giving nothing away.
The hairs on her arms stick up..not just because it's Stein but..
He's wearing what looks to be a lab coat..and it's stained with blood..
In his hand is a bloody scalpel.
"I just got out of the lab..had to restock your inventory.." His lips are twitching as he turns to face her fully, his glasses are glared so she can't see his eyes.
Maka stays as far back as possible from him, a spell already on the tip of her tongue if she needs it.
"..Medusa has told me so many things about you.." Stein takes a step forward, his grip on the scalpel tightening. "She says your very special..what I want to know is how special? What makes you so different? Is it your personally? No..it's something inside you..hidden in your body."
His glasses are glared..but Maka can feel him looking her up and down..almost hungrily..
It's lustful..but something's odd about it. She can't put her finger on it but-
"Have I ever told you how smooth your skin is Maka? So thin and soft.." His voice is changing..his lips twitching so much, the grip on his scalpel tightening as he takes another step forward. "Of course I couldn't have told you. Because I was your doctor..but I'm not your doctor anymore."
Maka is covered in goose bumps now..and with every step he takes she takes one back.
"Your a fucking creep." She growls, her eyes setting on fire. "I knew you were a fucking pervert!"
"But I'm not a pervert." He keeps getting closer. "I only state the facts. I only want to know the truth. Your body could give me plenty of answers. One cut here..a rip there..Your soft skin will be like paper under by scalpel..easily your body will open up to me..exposing you to me."
Maka's back hits the wall, and she tries to hide how badly her body tensed.
She doesn't like how close he's getting.
She doesn't like how he's talking.
She doesn't like him.
Maka's finger twitch and she opens her mouth to chant a spell..
When he throws the scalpel at her.
This breaks her concentration and all she can do is watch as it gets closer.
It hits the wall right by her head..almost getting her ear.
But she doesn't have time to celebrate.
Stein is right on her, pinning her against the wall.
"Better be careful.." He smirks at her as he reaches over and grabs the scalpel out of the wall.
Somthing snaps inside her.
She does not want him touching her.
"No, your the one that better be careful!" She growls, her eyes setting on fire as her power comes out.
Stein is sent flying across the room, but he just does a back flip and lands it perfectly..looking at her almost boredly.
For an old guy he's in shape.
"I'm not your fucking pateint any more. I'm a fucking witch and you try to do anything I will kill you. You can't get away with pissing me off anymore. I will beat the shit out of you. I don't care if your Medusa's lover, bitch you don't fuck with me." Maka is fuming, her hands twitching. "Get the hell out. Now."
"I'll leave you alone." Stein walks forward towards the door. He stops at it and looks at her, his glasses aren't glared so she can see his eyes slightly shaking. "But know this..I'm no longer your doctor either Maka..There's no rules here..no limitations..though I never followed the rules before..but now I have no restraints. You may not be my patient anymore..but I'm not your doctor either."
He gives her a large smirk..and it looks like it's about to rip his stiches before he walks out of the room..shutting the door behind him.
"Fucking creep.." Maka lets out a sigh..feeling so much better now that he's gone..
Is she really going to have to deal with this guy again?
He's even more of a jack ass then before! Not to mention it's like he let out his inner creep.
She shutters.
Potion..
Maka takes a deep breath before she walks over to the large book in the room that's sitting on the stand.
The pages flip till they stop on the 200th page.
" Bondage."
Maka raises an eye brow and reads more.
"Just as all other bonding spells this one connects two people in a way of connecting curses. This spell can make the curse more easy to deal with..or it can make it so much worse. It depends on the curse and it's effects so make sure you look over all this before you decide to make this potion. If this bondage is a mistake, you may break it like all other bonds. You must just follow the instructions of the cancelation in the back of the book. To know you completed this potion correctly, when both of you drink it, if you concentrate you will see a chain connecting you two. The chain should be red. To start this-"
Maka hears the door open behind her and she turns around.
Eruka, Crona, and Ragnarok walk in..
Both boys look exhausted.
Crona is wearing his shirt that matches her dress..his hair is messy and it looks like his eyes are having trouble to steady.
Ragnarok's gaze is on Crona..but he looks faded.
Eruka is giving her a smile..and she's not sure she likes that or not.
"Ah Lady Maka, I see your already looking at the potion." Eruka takes a step forward.
"D-Does it look hard?" Crona asks sounding nervous as him and Ragnarok stand on either side of her, looking down at it.
"I don't know but I'm about to find out." Maka skims the page. "I'm about to do a practice run on this thing."
"So what do we fucking need?" Ragnarok walks over to the cabinet and looks back to her.
"We need a cow's tongue, three peas from a pod, and basil leaves." Maka reads it out loud.
She hears the cabinet open, and she's sure Ragnarok is looking for these things.
"All these fucking potions are gross but at least I'm not drinking this one this time." He grunts.
"..M-Maka.." Crona suddenly puts his hand over hers on the book. She looks up at him to see those eyes staring into her own..and for once she can't tell what he's thinking. " A-Are you ok?"
"..I'm fine.." Maka blinks as he rubs his thumb against her hand.
"I-It's just..w-well I felt something odd w-when I was training..t-this dark feeling.." His eyes seem to be searching hers for something. "..D-Did Medusa do something? G-Give you something?"
"She-"
"Alright fucking got it." Ragnarok walks over and places three things on the table with his nose wrinkled. "One nasty ass cow tongue and all the rest of that crap."
"Good." Maka smiles before she looks back down at the book. " Ok, the last thing we need..and it says here it's the most important..is the heart of a tamed elephant?"
"Tamed elephant?" He frowns slightly but goes back to the cabinet. "What the fuck.."
"Y-You were saying?" Crona gives Ragnarok a almost annoyed look before he looks at her.
"She just gave me-"
"It's not in here."
Maka and Crona turn to look at Ragnarok who looks confused.
"What do you mean?" Maka raises an eye brow.
"I mean it's not fucking in here. There's no elephant heart in here." Ragnarok walks over to the two and crosses his arms.
"..But we need a elephant heart.." Maka's chest starts to tighten in panic.
Crona is starting to get scared so Maka pulls him closer to her..he relaxes but barely.
"Well we don't fucking have one. "Ragnarok snaps..but his eyes flash with worry..
No elephant heart, no potion, no potion, no Crona.
"You will have to hunt for one yourselfs." Eruka takes a step forward and they all look at her.
"Where in the hell are we going to get a tamed elephant's heart?" Maka snaps, a anger starting to bubble up inside her..
The heart should have already been there.
Eruka closes her eyes..a look of concentration coming to her face before she opens them back up.
"There is a circus that has stoped in a town not to, to far away from here. There has to be an elephant there."
"..So where going to go to the circus..and kill a elephant?" Maka blinks.
"Pretty much."
"Well this is fucking something." Ragnark growls, he's looking pissed off. "Why the fuck do we have to go get it? I thought Medusa stocked this thing herself?"
Maka's thoughts exactly.
"A tamed elephant's heart is hard to come by And this is the only potion that requires it. Medusa can't see the furture." Eruka gives them a straight face.
"Alright.." Maka takes a deep breath. "..So..how the hell are we even going to do this?."
"I don't know But it shouldn't be to hard. You just have to sneak in the back when the circus is doing a show and kill the elephant." Eruka looks between them. "It's not a high security circus. This should be a piece of cake for a witch."
Maka, Crona, and Ragnarok give each other a look..
They have a bad feeling about this.
"The circus show starts at 7 but there's a carnival that's going on right now while they wait for the circus to start." Eruka looks at Maka..
This gets her to perk up.
"A carnival? Does it have roller costers? Games? Food?" Maka is practically beaming now.
"A-A carnival?" Crona bites his lip giving Maka a look but she doesn't catch it.
"Yes I believe so." Eruka smiles. "I think it would be a nice thing to do..a nice escape before you take on the circus."
"I think we should go." Maka beams at both the boys beside her.
"I don't fucking know about-"
"I-I think we sould go too." Crona grabs her hand and holds it in his own.
Ragnarok gives him a look before he grabs her other hand.
Crona gives him a dark glare..his eyes starting to flicker.
"Great." Eruka hums before she snaps her fingers and two cups appear. "Ragnarok this one is for you to make you stronger..and Crona this one is for replenishing yourself.."
The two cups float over to them.
Ragnarok doesn't even think about it, he just chugs it down.
Crona stares at it a moment before he slowly starts to drink it.
The room becomes cold as Ragnarok lets out a growl from his power..
Crona doesn't feel as tense.
"How the hell are we going to get back though?" Ragnarok gives Eruka a look.
"The necklace will take you back and this time if your not back by a certain time I will come after you. We will not let what happen last time happen again. " She gives them a serious look.
"It better not fucking happen again." Ragnarok's eyes get dark, his chest puffing up a little, causing the room to get that much colder.
"Met me when your ready to leave. I'll be by the stairs." Eruka disappears.
"..S-So are we really about to..kill an elephant?" Crona grips his arm, his gaze shifting.
"We don't have a choice." Maka grips his hand tighter. "I'm not going to let you die."
His eyes light up at that and he looks at her with those beautiful eyes..
"Are we really about to go to a fucking carnival?" Ragnarok grumbles next to her.
"I think it will be fun..and I really don't want to be here."
Crona and Ragnarok give her a look..expecting her to go on..
But she doesn't.
She really doesn't want to be here with Stein.
That creepy mother fucker.
Crona's eyes flash before he tightens his grip on his arm.
"I-I think I'm ready to go.." Crona pulls her closer, his eyes on where she's holding Ragnarok's hand.
"You better let go of him little one-"
men meas men meas men meas.
This cuts him off..and he doesn't say anymore.
Maka feels Crona tense and when she looks over at him..
He still has those innocent eyes..but she can see a part of them darkening..
Oh yeah, she definably pissed his other side off.
But oh well.
"Are you all ready?" Eruka looks between the three teens.
"Yup." Maka smirks as she straitens out her black tank top. She changed into that with white shorts..
Eruka said this place is going to be hot.
"I-I think so.." Crona mumbles, his cheeks still sightly tinted at what he's wearing.
Maka picked out a matching black tank top..but she let him wear white jeans instead of shorts.
The tank top hugs nicely but really it makes him look more venerable.
And Maka likes that.
"Let's just get this over with." Ragnarok grunts, his form more visible.
"Have fun and remember. You must get the elephant heart and be back here to complete the potion by midnight." Eruka starts to say a chant. " Be careful.."
"Oh we will." Maka grins at Crona. "We're getting on a roller coster first thing!"
"G-Gah! H-How about..u-um.." His gaze shifts desperately looking for a way out. "..H-How about..w-we um..e-eat first! Y-Yeah eat first!"
He gives her a nervous smile.
"..Oh my god." Maka faces palms. "Your right we should eat first! That way we can puke are guts out on the roller coster!"
The smile of relief that was slowly starting to form on his face completely falls, his face getting pale in horror.
"G-Gah! I-I don't think I'm eating!"
"Oh yes you are! You have to have cotton candy and candy apples and French fires and cheese burgers and.." Maka gets a goofy smile on her face.
"Damn we fucking lost her." Ragnarok grumbles looking at her as he waves a hand in front of her face. " I carnival is like her fucking paradise. Food every where for this fat ass."
"I-I don't want you puking your guts out Maka!" Crona grabs a hold of her and shakes her slightly.
"But it's a part of the roller coster experience." Maka smirks at how he tenses.
"I've ridden a roller coster before and I didn't fucking puke." Ragnarok grunts. "I didn't even fucking scream."
"Oh I bet you did. Your just embarrass to admit it."
"Bitch I bet you'll be fucking crying!"
"We'll see won't we? We're going to ride the highest roller coster there and who ever screams first has to sing and dance to Barbie girl in front of everyone."
"Your on bitch!"
"R-Really the highest one?" Crona is so pale as he looks between the two.
"Yes the highest and the most scariest one." Maka grabs his hand that's slightly sweating.
"G-Gah! I-I'm really not eating then!" Crona grips his hair in distress. "F-From what you told me when we were getting dressed about them..they s-sound like a death trap!"
"Oh they fucking are." Ragnarok crosses his arms.
"T-Then why are we going on one?!" He looks close to hyperventilating.
"Because it's fun." Maka sticks her tongue out. "Don't worry, for your sake Crona we'll do everything else first before we do the roller coster..how does that sound?"
"..B-Better." Crona still looks pale.
"And Ragnarok this time when you get a body..look for one that's matching us." Maka looks over at the other boy.
"What the fuck I look like?" The raven haired boy scoffs. "You both all ready look like jack asses dressed like that. I'm not fucking doing that."
"Please?" She tilts her head and he tenses. "We would be all matching and that would be awesome!"
Ragnarok stares her in those sparkling green eyes..his hard eyes melting before he glares away looking missed off.
"I'll see what I can fucking do. But I'm not looking as mentally challenged as you two do."
Crona gives him a dark look as he grabs Maka's hand and pulls her closer to him.
"You like to use your charms to get what you want.." He whispers in her ear and she shivers. "But remember..I have a few charms of my own.."
Maka ignores how her body gets hot and the voice's moans as she pulls away to look Crona in the eyes..
But they're not mad..they're just slightly shaking.
"Don't worry..I know." She smiles at him and gently runs her thumb against his hand.
This causes his eyes to steady and his expression to soften.
"Let's fucking go." Ragnarok gives Crona a look before he grabs Maka's hand.
Crona's expression falls and his body tenses.
"Good bye." Eruka touches Maka's forehead..
The last thing Eruka sees his Maka's eyes closed..while Crona and Ragnarok glare at each other.
Then they disappear.
This should be interesting.
"Has everything been set up?" Medusa appears in front of her with Stein by her side, the man holding her in his arms, his head in her shoulder.
Eruka nods.
"Yes, I set them to the carnival and gave them the orders to sneak into the circus during the show."
"Perfect." Medusa chuckles as Free appears by herside. "And what about you Free? Everything good on your end?"
"..Not really." Free frowns. "Don't you know who's at the carnival? He's going to-"
"I am well aware." Medusa waves him off. "It will be fine. It adds to the suspense of it is all.."
Medusa gives off a sick smirk.
"This is going to be fun to watch. The madness in Crona is growing..and with this curse he's able to communicate with Maka's darker side..it won't be long now till Maka gives in to her darker side..and then I can have her."
"Not to rain on your parade but.." Free scratches his neck. "..Crona is fucking nuts. When I had to train him..god he even gave me chills! What if he's to crazy? What if he just kills Maka? I mean it's no secret that something is going on between the three."
"Definably some drama." Eruka nods. "Ragnarok doesn't even seem stable."
"Perfect."
Eruka and Free give her a confused look.
"What about Maka-"
"There is a risk that Crona will kill Maka but it's worth it. I'm almost positive that won't happen..at least Maka's darker side won't let it happen." Medusa strokes Stein's hair. "Trust in me..I know what I'm doing. Things are coming together exactly as I want them."
"..Your uh..putting a lot of stain on them this time.." Free presses lightly. "And after what happen yesterday..are you sure they can do this?"
"Yes. I have faith in Maka." Medusa smirks. " I am being hard on her..but it will work out in the end. We don't have much time. She must strong and she must be able to think fast.."
She turns her back to them.
"Keep an eye on them.." Medusa holds Stein as they disappears. "It's time to turn up the heat."
Eruka and Free look at each other.
The heat Is already up..
She wants a inferno.
Got this pretty fast out..but I don't know when i'll be able to get the next chapter. with birthday and easter, and getting my tongue pierced.. i'll be busy and the next chapter I know will be really long.
Can anyone guess who Free was talking about? heh heh.
I have to tell you that we are getting to the end..of course a lot more has to happen..and I promise by the end of this fan fic all your questions will be answered.
I can't help but notice how you guys like crazy maka and Crona...So i'll tell you this. There will be a crazy, hard core lemon in the future with those two. But you have to be patient :P
Till next time please review! :)
